Iron Deficiency Anemia Secondary to IBD or Gastric Bypass Clinical Trial
Official title:
Multicenter Randomized Open-label Controlled Study to Investigate Treatment Response of IV Injectafer vs Oral Iron to Baseline Hepcidin Levels in Patients With Iron Deficiency Anemia Secondary to Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Gastric Bypass
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment response of Injectafer vs. oral iron to baseline hepcidin levels to determine if any of these select IBD or Gastric Bypass patients may demonstrate to be inappropriate for oral iron therapy.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment response of Injectafer vs. oral iron in patients with varying hepcidin levels correlating the treatment response/hepcidin levels to more common laboratory parameters such as ferritin and CRP (C-Reactive Protein) levels and possibly determine if any of these select IBD or Gastric Bypass patients may demonstrate to be inappropriate for oral iron therapy. ;
