Filter by: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).
Sucrosomial iron (Sideral® Forte) is a preparation of ferric pyrophosphate conveyed within a phospholipid membrane associated with ascorbic acid, is a new-generation oral iron which shows a high gastrointestinal absorption and high bioavailability with a low incidence of side effects due to lack of any direct contact with intestinal mucosa. In comparison with the other standard oral iron preparations, sucrosomial iron seems to be a promising new strategy of iron replacement in CD patients.
To confirm the safety and efficacy of Z-213 until 12 weeks after start of Z-213 administration in patients with iron deficiency Anemia
The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is a wide spread problem in Africa and iron fortification can be an effective strategy to decrease this. In the current study adding different levels of a stabilizer to iron fortified cubes and it's effect on iron bioavailability from these cubes will be studied in the context of a Nigerian meal in women. 24 Female subjects with low serum ferritin levels will be included in the study. The study will last 64 days and subjects will be asked to consume a breakfast and lunch prepared with a bouillon cube with isotope labeled iron during 3 periods of 5 consecutive days. The absorption of iron will be evaluated after every period and compared between the cubes.
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by chronic inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. Anemia is a consistent clinical feature of IBD. It is encountered in one third of IBD patients, and is the most common extraintestinal complication of this disease. Anemia has a significant impact on the quality of life of affected patients. Many patients with IBD frequently complain of chronic fatigue commonly caused by anemia and this may be as debilitating to patients as abdominal pain and diarrhea. Anemia in IBD is multifactorial, but is most commonly the result of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and rarely due to anemia of chronic disease (ACD). Oral iron supplementation has been used traditionally for the treatment of IDA but studies have shown that it may result in disease exacerbation by increasing oxygen free radicals within the lumen of the gut via the Fenton reaction. A recent study done in University Hospitals Birmingham, United Kingdom, has shown that treatment with oral iron results in failure to control anemia in 2 out of 3 IBD patients, which is in part due to the side effects reported by over half of patients. Captafer is a new iron-free oral preparation that contains a special type of oligosaccharides from fish muscle tissue able to make the intestine absorb 3 to 5 times more iron in comparison to the "meat factor". Moreover, Captafer contains other vitamins and supplements that improve anemia.
The purpose of this study is to confirm the non-inferiority of Z-213 compared to Saccharated Ferric Oxide using the maximum change in Hb from baseline over 12 weeks in patients with Iron-deficiency Anemia (IDA)
This study aims to evaluate a prototype device detecting zinc protoporphyrin-IX fluorescence non-invasively from the intact oral mucosa in children. The prototype device has shown high sensitivity and specificity in women after delivery for iron deficiency. Children are at increased risk for iron deficiency and prevention methods are not established jet. Zinc protoporphyrin-IX is an early indicator of iron deficiency and may be more sensitive than other established parameters. The prototype device is used to measure the erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin-IX/heme ratio in children aged 9 months to 5 years. Children in this age are at increased risk for iron deficiency as they are growing rapidly and iron deficiency in this age may affect the neurodevelopment and immune system adversely. It is proposed that these effects cannot be rectified by iron supplementation in later years. The results from the non-invasive measurements are compared to reference measurements of the erythrocyte zinc protoporphyrin-IX/heme ratio from residual blood samples from the same patients and to other indicators of iron status, including hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation and soluble transferrin receptor.
To evaluate the safety of 1.020 grams (g) of intravenous (IV) ferumoxytol compared to 1.500 g of IV ferric carboxymaltose (FCM).
As combat women soldiers are required to more intensive daily activity the investigators believe that the impact of menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea and its clinical consequence (as characterized by, anemia iron deficiency and reduced quality of life)) on personal performance will be more significant in combat women soldiers compared to non-combat women soldiers. Using cohorts from the same environment will enable the investigators to better study the effect of menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea eliminating other uncontrolled factors, such as nutrition. The study does not include any intervention.
The investigators believe that there is an association between H. pylori infection and nutritional status and between H. pylori infection and cognitive development. The current study will examine this association in Israeli children, aged 6-12 years.
