Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to monitor initiated Diafer® therapy administered according to hospital practice and the product labeling in routine clinical practice in haemodialysis patients with Chronic Kidney Disease.


Description:

Parenteral iron is the iron treatment of choice for haemodialysis (HD) patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), who may suffer from absolute iron deficiency due to continuous blood losses and/or functional iron deficiency due to erythropoiesis stimulating agent treatment or impaired release from iron stores.

Much evidence indicates that adequate iron supply is necessary to achieve optimal responses to ESAs and thereby potentially avoid ESA induced ADRs.

Pharmacosmos has been working with dialysis providers for many years and identified a medical need for a new safe and cost-effective low dose intravenous (IV) iron that can be administered frequently. Diafer® is a new low dose iron formulation based on iron isomaltoside 1000, with doses restricted to maximum 200 mg iron pr. injection. No test dose is needed and Diafer® may be administered as a push injection.

The primary objective of the study is to monitor initiated Diafer® therapy administered according to hospital practice and the product labeling in routine clinical practice in HD patients with CKD. The scientific rationale being to fulfil a need for systematic information/auditing on applied practice including long term experience with the use of IV iron in the HD setting. This information will provide an evidence base for optimised treatment procedures.
