Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that intravenous iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) is superior compared to placebo with respect to increasing the haemoglobin level in non-anaemic patients undergoing cardiac surgery


Description:

The role of preoperative haemoglobin as a predictor of short-term and long-term outcomes after cardiac surgery has been well established. Anaemia can impede a patient's ability to recover fully and participate in postoperative rehabilitation. It has been found that patients with a normal haemoglobin level may become anaemic during surgery. An evaluation of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, i.e. CABG, valve or combined CABG-valve procedures showed that there was a decrease in mean haemoglobin level pre-surgery two and four days after surgery. To date, no prospective randomised clinical study in cardiac surgery assessing the effect of intravenous iron supplementation in patients undergoing cardiac surgery has been reported. This prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double blind study is planned to evaluate the effect of intravenous iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) in comparison with placebo in non-anaemic patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

1. Men and women, aged more than 18 years.

2. Subjects undergoing elective or sub-acute CABG, valve replacement or a combination thereof

3. Female Hb = 12.0 g/dl (7.45 mmol/l), Male Hb = 13.0 g/dl (8.1 mmol/l).

4. Willingness to participate after informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects receiving blood transfusion less than 30 days before screening and/or during the elective or sub-acute CABG, valve replacement, or a combination thereof.

2. Iron overload or disturbances in utilization of iron (e.g. haemochromatosis and haemosiderosis).

3. Serum Ferritin > 800 ng/ml.

(To avoid pregnancy, women have to be postmenopausal (at least 12 months must have elapsed since last menstruation), surgically sterile, or women of child bearing potential must use one of the following contraceptives during the whole study period and after the study has ended for at least 5 times plasma biological half-life of the investigational medicinal product: Contraceptive pills, Intrauterine Devices (IUD), contraceptive depot injections (prolonged-release gestagen), subdermal implantation, vaginal ring, and transdermal patches).

11. Participation in any other clinical trial where the study drug has not passed five half-lives prior to screening.

12. Untreated Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency.

13. Other IV or oral iron treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.

14. Erythropoietin treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening visit

15. Impaired renal function defined by se-creatinin > 150 µmol/l

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in haemoglobin (Hb) concentrations To demonstrate that intravenous iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) is superior compared to placebo with respect to increasing the haemoglobin level in non- anaemic patients undergoing cardiac surgery From t=0 to t=4 weeks postoperatively No
Secondary Change in Hb concentrations Proportion of patients that are anaemic (women < 12 g/dL and men < 13 g/dL) at day 5 and week 4 t=0, t=5 days and t=4 weeks No
Secondary Number of patients in each randomisation group who need blood transfusion and number of transfusions administered To compare the number of patients who will need blood transfusion and number of transfusions in each randomisation group From t=0 to t=day 5 and t=4 weeks No
Secondary Change in concentrations of serum ferritin, serum iron and Transferrin Saturation (TfS) TfS, and reticulocytes From t=0 to t=day 5 and t=4 weeks Change from baseline (preoperatively- the day before surgery or same day) in concentrations of serum ferritin, serum iron and Transferrin Saturation (TfS) TfS, and reticulocytes at 4 weeks and 3 months postoperatively No
Secondary Number of postoperative days to discharge To compare the number of days to discharge between the 2 randomisation groups From t=0 to discharge No
Secondary Changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification To compare the changes in New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification from baseline to 4 weeks postoperatively From t=0 to t=4 weeks No
Secondary Number of patients in each randomisation group who experience any study drug related adverse events (AEs/SAEs/SUSARs) To compare the number of study drug related adverse events (AEs/SAEs/SUSARs) between subjects treated with iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) infusion and subjects treated with placebo infusion From screening and until completion (t=-7 day and upto t=4 weeks) Yes
Secondary Change in Hb Proportion of patients able to maintain Hb between 9.5 and 12.5 g/dL (both values included) at day 5 and week 4 t=0, t=day 5 and t=week 4 No
