Trial to Evaluate the Utility of Serum Hepcidin Levels to Predict Response to Oral or IV Iron and to Compare Safety, Effect on Quality of Life, and Resource Utilization of Injectafer vs Intravenous Standard of Care for the Treatment of IDA in an Infusion Center Setting

Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) Clinical Trial

Official title: A Multi-Center, Randomized, Open Label Trial to Evaluate the Utility of Serum Hepcidin Levels to Predict Response to Oral or IV Iron and Compare the Safety, Effect on Quality of Life, and Resource Utilization of Injectafer vs. Intravenous Iron Standard of Care for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in an Infusion Center Setting

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of this study is to compare the safety, effect on quality of life, and resource utilization of Injectafer vs. intravenous (IV) iron standard of care (SOC) for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in an infusion center setting. The study will also assess the ability of baseline serum hepcidin levels to predict if subjects will have a clinically meaningful hemoglobin response to oral iron therapy or to IV iron therapy.
