Filter by:Open, monocentric, comparative, cross-over study to evaluate the rate and the extent of iron absorption after a single oral dose of (A) IBSA Iron orodispersible film vs (B) SiderAL® FORTE capsules in healthy women aged 18 to 55 years.
The aim of this study is to track where the iron goes in different tissues in the hours, days and weeks after an intravenous iron infusion. We will track iron in tissues using MRI relaxometry parameters R1/R2/R2* which are well established as accurate indicators of tissue iron content.
Iron supplementation is the first line of treatment of iron deficiency in most women, but we do not know when the best time is to supplement in the context of the menstrual cycle. With this study, we aim to measure and compare iron status, hepcidin, inflammatory markers, hormones estrogen and progesterone and changes in iron absorption at various points throughout the menstrual cycle, with a long-term view to determine best time for iron supplementation in relation to the menstrual cycle.
Giving oral iron to patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) who is iron deficient is thought to be beneficial. This is, however, not well documented. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect and safety of oral iron in patients with EPP who is taking iron tablets due to iron deficiency.
Iron deficiency is defined by insufficient tissue iron stores and anemia is the ultimate stage of iron deficiency. Anemia should never be neglected in an elderly subject because it is associated with an increase in mortality, but also with a increased morbidity in terms of complications Apart from anemia, iron deficiency is common and constitutes a factor of poor prognosis in diseases chronic, all pathologies very frequently found in the elderly. It is the origin of the deterioration in the general condition of patients, their re-hospitalization or even the progression of their pathology. In this context where elderly patients also present a certain number of comorbidities including the pathologies mentioned previously, it is important to better diagnose the deficiency martial in the elderly patient.
The study will be conducted by the Indonesia Nutrition Association that led by a Principle Investigator and supported by the study team consisted of Nutritionists. The aims of the study are to reduce iron deficiency by increasing iron intake in children 1-3 years by providing interventions in the form of increasing iron intake from growing up milk for four months and nutrition education for the intervention group and nutrition education only for the control group.
This study aims to investigate the effects of treatment with intravenous ferric carboxymaltose on exercise tolerance measured as VO2peak in patients with HFpEF and iron deficiency, compared to placebo.
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common systemic manifestation of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD)-Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Iron deficiency with or without anemia poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to chronic gastrointestinal blood loss and the inflammatory nature of IBD. Recent illumination of iron metabolism has brought attention to the systemic iron regulator-hepcidin, a peptide hormone that regulates intestinal iron absorption and systemic iron availability. Elevated hepcidin is associated with oral iron malabsorption in IBD. This study aims to evaluate whether hepcidin concentration at baseline can predict response to oral and intravenous iron therapy in patients with IBD and concomitant iron deficiency with or without anemia.
Iron deficiency (ID) is a major public health problem worldwide and oral iron supplementation can be an effective strategy to treat and prevent ID. To maximize iron bioavailability form oral iron supplements the simultaneous intake of the iron absorption enhancer ascorbic acid (AA) is recommended, and the simultaneous intake of coffee or tea containing the iron absorption inhibitors polyphenols should be avoided. Also, oral iron supplements are recommended to be taken on an empty stomach in the morning and without a meal to avoid any interaction with phytic acid, another iron absorption inhibitor present in many foods. However, the effects of these iron absorption enhancers and inhibitors have only been shown on iron absorption from dietary iron (up to 10mg). Also, the effect of the diurnal hepcidin increase on absorption from an iron supplement given in the afternoon without a preceding morning dose is unclear. Whether AA also increases iron bioavailability from a supplemental iron dose and whether a cup of coffee, a breakfast or iron administration in the afternoon decreases iron bioavailability from a supplemental dose is uncertain.
Iron deficiency has been reported in approximately 35% of patients with a gynecologic malignancy. Blood transfusions are known to be immunosuppressive and carry immediate and long-term risks. Pre-operative blood transfusion in gynecologic oncology patients is associated with higher rates of surgical site infection, length of stay, composite morbidity, cancer recurrence, and mortality. Pre-operative intravenous iron formulations have been shown in benign gynecology and other surgical specialities to increase pre-operative hemoglobin and decrease post-operative transfusion rates. This is a randomized double-blinded clinical trial evaluating the effects of treating patients undergoing gynecologic oncology surgery with intravenous ferric derisomaltose to correct pre-operative iron-deficiency anemia. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of preoperative ferric derisomaltose/iron isomaltoside compared to placebo in correcting preoperative hemoglobin in patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic malignancy.
