Heart Failure Clinical Trial
— VICTORID-HFOfficial title:
Beneficial Effects of Vitamin D Combined With Oral Iron Supplementation in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Iron Deficiency
The goal of this randomized, controlled, open-label, interventional study is to evaluate whether, in patients with heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency (ID), the administration of vitamin D in combination with sucrosomial iron is as effective as intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in improving symptoms of HF. The main hypothesis which the study aims to test is the non-inferiority of sucrosomial iron (± vitamin D) compared with FCM treatment, after 24 weeks. Primary endpoint: the performance of the Six-Minute Walking Test, comparing the mean difference from baseline of the distance walked by patients in meters. Participants will be evaluated in outpatient scheduled visits at 6, 12 and 24 weeks, performing blood tests, clinical evaluation, instrumental investigations and recording any adverse events, cardiovascular events, re-hospitalizations and fractures. The study will involve randomization into 3 groups with a 1:1:1 ratio: 1. Control group [standard of care]: administration of FCM (Ferinject®) with a dose between 500 and 2000 mg (depending on body weight and hemoglobin values), to be administered in 1 or 2 doses (time 0 ± 6 weeks) with possible additional administration of 500 mg at week 12 in case of persistent ID. 2. Sucrosomial iron group: administration of sucrosomial iron (SiderAl Forte®) at a dose of 60 mg (2 tablets) once a day for 24 weeks. 3. Sucrosomial iron and vitamin D group: administration of sucrosomial iron (SiderAl Forte®) at a dose of 60 mg (2 tablets) once daily + vitamin D3 (100,000 IU load at time 0, then 2,000 IU daily) for 24 weeks

Recruitment may be re-evaluated at least 6 weeks after the end of vitamin B12 and or folic acid supplementation. - History of acquired iron overload. - Administration of erythropoietin, iron supplementation (either oral or intravenous iron), blood transfusion in the previous 6 weeks or already scheduled for the 3 months after recruitment. - Administration of vitamin D or similar in the 3 months preceding or already scheduled for the 3 months following recruitment. - Severe bone disease. - Active infections, C-reactive protein (CRP) >20 mg/L, clinically significant bleeding, active neoplasm (with exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and intraepithelial cervical neoplasia). - Chronic liver disease (including active hepatitis) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3x normal limit. - Immunosuppressive therapy or dialysis. - Pregnancy or breastfeeding. - The subject has a known sensitivity to any of the products that will be administered during the study protocol. |
