The subject Novel Motorized Spiral Enteroscope (NMSE) represents a new technology which offers all of the advantageous options of spiral enteroscopy with a faster and less invasive approach. The system is similar to other currently marketed endoscopes in that it incorporates a flexible insertion tube, light source, digital imaging, and channels for passing accessories for sample collection or therapeutic interventions. The NMSE system is unique in that it incorporates a user-controlled motor contained in the endoscope's handle to rotate a spiral cuff located on the endoscope's insertion tube. Rotation of this cuff, which has soft spiral-shaped "fins", pleats the small bowel on to the endoscope's insertion tube, thereby allowing rapid and atraumatic access deep into the small bowel. The system also includes a display monitor, a motor control unit, device to display measured motor current and signal torque, and a set of foot pedals. Motorization of the Spiral Enteroscope and limitation of rotation to a short cuff instead of a long overtube promise to accelerate the procedure, to facilitate insertion and to improve maneuvering the instrument in comparison to conventional spiral enteroscopy
Evaluate safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose re-dosing, in subjects who were previously treated with iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose.
Evaluate safety and efficacy of iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose (Monofer®/Monoferric®) compared with iron sucrose (Venofer®), in subjects diagnosed with IDA.
Evaluation of safety and efficacy of iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose compared with iron sucrose, in subjects with both non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).
The objective is to monitor and quality assure the efficacy, including effects on quality of life, and safety of Monofer® in Chronic Kidney Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease patient populations when Monofer® is used according to the Monofer® label (Summary of Product Characteristics, SPC) in current clinical practice and where standard routines are being followed.
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate and compare the effect of iron isomaltoside 1000 to iron sucrose in its ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb) in subjects with IDA when oral iron preparations are ineffective or cannot be used or where there is a clinical need to deliver iron rapidly.
Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency in the world today, affecting more than 60% of the global population (www.who.int/nut/ida.htm). The two main strategies for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency involve fortification of food with iron, or direct supplementation with iron tablets. Simple iron salts (e.g. ferrous sulphate) are well absorbed but at supplemental levels (and potentially at lower levels, as used in food fortificants) can induce free radical activity resulting in gastrointestinal side effects and systematic oxidative stress. As a result, supplementation has poor compliance and improvement in iron status is compromised. Ferric salts are less inclined to produce side effects and although they are relatively well absorbed at fortification levels in food, they are poorly absorbed at the higher supplemental doses. Because certain components of food, such as organic acids, can facilitate ferric iron absorption, we now wish to determine whether dietary organic acids may similarly enable efficient absorption of supplemental ferric iron while preventing the formation of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) which is a proxy for free radical activity. Our strategy is to use an iterative process between in vitro and in vivo experimentation, aimed at identifying the best choice of organic acid and the optimal ratio of iron:organic acid. The study was a cross-over, single-dose comparison against standard-of-care therapy (namely ferrous sulphate) in mildly iron deficient anaemic women. Both the investigational products and the active comparator were administered as a single dose on 2 different occasions, i.e. the investigational products on the first study visit and the active comparator 14 days later on the second study visit.
Addressing micronutrient deficiencies in Zambia is recognized as a national priority by the government due to its major contribution to morbidity and mortality among children, especially infants in their formative years. One of the most successful, cost-effective, and recommended strategy to address micronutrient malnutrition is 'in-home fortification' with micronutrient powders (Sprinkles being the most widely recognized) along with nutrition education. While this intervention has proven to be safe, effective, and efficacious in numerous other countries, a specific national protocol must be developed to maximize its effect on reducing anaemia in Zambian children. The proposed research aims to inform such protocol.
