Filter by:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, three-arms, placebo-controlled, safety and efficacy study of Botanical Extract Standardized for Iron + Vitamin C and Botanical Extract Standardized for Iron in adult human subjects with anemia or iron-deficiency anemia. A total of up to 96 adult male and female subjects of age 26 to 55 years (32 subjects/arm) will be enrolled to get 90 evaluable subjects (30 subjects/arm) in the study
The purpose of this study is to compare maternal outcomes such as increased hemoglobin need for blood transfusion and hemoglobin level before and post partum in women with hemoglobin <9 gr/dl , treated with venofer and women treated with ferinject.
This trial is designed to compare the efficacy of ferrous ascorbate versus liposomal iron for the treatment of nutritional iron deficiency anemia (IDA) amongst 6 to 59 months age children as determined by the increase in hemoglobin concentration and change in iron indices after 12 weeks of treatment. This study will be a randomized double-blinded single-center study done at the outpatient department of the Department of Pediatrics. All the children between 6 months to 59 months with nutritional IDA will be enrolled in the study. Written informed consent will be taken from the caregiver. At baseline detailed history will be taken and a complete physical examination will be done. Complete blood count (CBC), Peripheral smear, corrected reticulocyte count, Serum iron, Serum ferritin, and serum Total iron binding capacity(TIBC) will be done at baseline. Transferrin saturation will be calculated with the formula Serum Iron/ TIBC ×100. C Reactive Protein (CRP) and alpha1- acid glycoprotein (AGP) will be done to look for inflammation. Eligible subjects would be randomized in a 1:1 ratio by computerized software to receive either ferrous ascorbate or liposomal iron. Subjects in the ferrous ascorbate group would be given the drug at a dose of 3mg/kg/day OD of elemental iron. Subjects in the liposomal group would be given 1mg/kg/day OD of liposomal iron. Follow-up visits would be done at 4 and 12 weeks. Follow-up at 4 weeks is required to check the initial response to treatment and identify nonresponders and at 12 weeks is required to see the final response and thus decide upon continuation or discontinuation of treatment. In the follow-up visit at 4 and 12 weeks, CBC, Iron profile (Iron, Ferritin, and TIBC), CRP, and AGP will be done. Corrected Reticulocyte will be done at 4 weeks only. Any adverse effects of therapy will be noted. Adherence to therapy will be checked by measuring the volume of unused medicine in the bottle at each visit. All the statistically analyzed continuous data will be presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The categorical data will be reported as a percentage. Student's t-tests will be used to compare means. The χ2 test will be used to compare categorical outcomes, including the proportion of patients with dropouts, adverse effects, and adherence measures. The percentage volume of unused study medication returned at each visit will be compared using the Wilcoxon rank sign test. p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant.
This is a trial with an observational and an interventional arm, in patients with moderate to severe anemia and control subjects. The main purposes of this study is to phenotype the scope of neurocognitive deficits from iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adult women, determine derangements in cerebral perfusion, vascular reactivity, functional connectivity, and blood brain barrier permeability in adult-onset IDA and relate them to neurocognitive deficits, as well as determine the reversibility and durability of both the physiologic and neurocognitive derangements by iron replacement therapy. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency and the most common cause of anemia. Anemia has a significant impact on the health of the fetus as well as that of the mother. It impairs the oxygen delivery through the placenta to the fetus and interferes with the normal intrauterine growth, leading to fetal loss and perinatal deaths. Anemia is associated with increased preterm labor (28.2%), preeclampsia (31.2%), and maternal sepsis. The study aims to compare the effect of Lactoferrin versus intravenous iron sucrose for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy.
Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) represents a global public health problem which has a significant impact on human health and social and economic development. Inadequate iron intake, chronic blood loss and impaired iron absorption are among the causes of IDA There are an association between H. pylori infection and IDA, but the biological explanation for H. pylori infection causing iron-deficiency anemia remains unknown. Initially, sideropenic anemia was considered to be caused by occult blood loss due to chronic superficial active gastritis caused by H. pylori, but subsequent studies did not confirm this theory . H. pylori infection can cause disorders in iron assimilation and increased iron requirements. Hypoacidity caused by pangastritis and a low level of ascorbic acid in the stomach of patients infected with H. pylori may affect the absorption of iron in the duodenum . In addition, levels of lactoferrin gastric mucosa (an iron-binding protein) are high in patients infected with iron-deficient H. pylori, showing a possible role between increased lactoferrin sequestration and iron utilization by the body . H. pylori also competes with the host for available food grade iron. H. pylori has several iron acquisition systems, which can capture iron available in the microenvironment of the stomach lumen . Moreover, there are studies that indicate that an iron-deficiency anemia which does not respond to iron therapy can be resolved by eradicating H. pylori from the stomach . ABO blood group seem to be looked into as risks for H. pylori related stomach malignancy, nevertheless, there are actually inconsistent scientific studies because of numerous confounding outcomes. Blood group antigens have the receptor properties for toxins, parasitic organisms and bacteria, exactly where this bacteria could assist in annexation or intrusion and avert multitude approval components .
Anaemia is a risk factor for functional decline and frailty in older adults including decreased physical performance and muscle strength, increased hospitalisation risk and mortality, falls, and poorer recovery from activities of daily living. Despite a major gap in human studies, research in animals has demonstrated an interrelationship between iron deficiency anaemia and deteriorated functional capacity and physical performance particularly in older adults. Iron deficiency and associated anaemia is a frequent accompanier of debilitating chronic diseases such as heart failure and chronic lung diseases. These conditions, more commonly seen in older patients, are strongly linked to deterioration in physical function, reduced skeletal muscle mass and quality, frailty, and poor quality of life. Exercise intolerance is also a common feature of these conditions as iron deficiency impairs the capacity of carrying oxygen leading to inability to sustain physical activities. Furthermore, the age-related decline in the muscle mass and quality (so called sarcopenia) and associated frailty has rapidly become a major health concern in the older adults particularly when accompanied by other chronic diseases. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in exploring the role of iron as a causative factor in the development of sarcopenia and related frailty. In summary, there is a substantial gap of evidence whether Iron repletion leads to meaningful enhancements in the skeletal muscle function and physical performance in older adults suffering from iron deficiency anaemia. This study will investigate the impact of a standard care intervention (intravenous iron therapy) on muscular function and physical performance in older patients through a range of laboratory assessments.
The goal of this randomized, controlled, open-label, interventional study is to evaluate whether, in patients with heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency (ID), the administration of vitamin D in combination with sucrosomial iron is as effective as intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in improving symptoms of HF. The main hypothesis which the study aims to test is the non-inferiority of sucrosomial iron (± vitamin D) compared with FCM treatment, after 24 weeks. Primary endpoint: the performance of the Six-Minute Walking Test, comparing the mean difference from baseline of the distance walked by patients in meters. Participants will be evaluated in outpatient scheduled visits at 6, 12 and 24 weeks, performing blood tests, clinical evaluation, instrumental investigations and recording any adverse events, cardiovascular events, re-hospitalizations and fractures. The study will involve randomization into 3 groups with a 1:1:1 ratio: 1. Control group [standard of care]: administration of FCM (Ferinject®) with a dose between 500 and 2000 mg (depending on body weight and hemoglobin values), to be administered in 1 or 2 doses (time 0 ± 6 weeks) with possible additional administration of 500 mg at week 12 in case of persistent ID. 2. Sucrosomial iron group: administration of sucrosomial iron (SiderAl Forte®) at a dose of 60 mg (2 tablets) once a day for 24 weeks. 3. Sucrosomial iron and vitamin D group: administration of sucrosomial iron (SiderAl Forte®) at a dose of 60 mg (2 tablets) once daily + vitamin D3 (100,000 IU load at time 0, then 2,000 IU daily) for 24 weeks
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.
