Filter by:This study tests the hypothesis that IV iron sucrose infusions given to iron deficient ovarian cancer patients prior to debulking surgery can improve pre-operative iron stores and decrease transfusion of packed red blood cells in the peri-operative period. 21 participants at least 18 years of age with epithelial ovarian cancer of any stage requiring neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery will be enrolled. Participants will be on study for a period of up to 3 months.
Despite its high prevalence, a recent study conducted by Prof. Cacoub (unpublished) on the french national health insurance database showed that iron deficiency was an underdiagnosed and under-treated co-morbidity. In inflammatory situations, especially during cancer, the measurement of the transferrin saturation factor is only performed in about 10% of cases whereas this measure is recommended in inflammatory situations including cancer (French Health High Authority 2011)
Despite its known prevalence in Heart Failure, a recent study conducted by Prof. Cacoub (unpublished) on the French national health insurance database showed that iron deficiency was a poorly diagnosed and poorly treated comorbidity. In chronic diseases including Heart Failure, Transferrin Saturation Factor is only performed in about 10% of cases while it is recommended for patients with Heart Failure (French Health High Authority 2011). The purpose of this study is to obtain current data on the prevalence of iron deficiency in France in patients with Heart Failure, applying the recommendations of European Society of Cardiology and French Health High Authority (determination of ferritinemia and Transferrin Saturation Factor).
Perioperative anemia is very common in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study retrospectively analyzes the use of rHuEPO and iron sucrose in patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty in order to observe the short-term efficacy and safety of rHuEPO and iron sucrose.
This prospective, randomized, controlled study aims to evaluate the impact of short-term intravenous iron isomaltose anhydride on postoperative recovery and the requirement for allogeneic red blood cells (RBC) transfusion in preoperative Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) patients receiving orthopedic surgery, thus facilitating developing a simple and effective iron supplement approach for patients' recovery.
Daily iron (ferrous sulfate, 2 mg/kg/day) or placebo syrup for first four months (112 days) of the 12-month (336-day) study. Children in the immediate iron group will receive iron syrup for the first three months (84 days) and placebo syrup for the fourth month. Children in the delayed iron group will receive placebo syrup for the first month (28 days) and iron syrup for the second, third, and fourth months.
The study aims at assessing the iron (Fe) bioavailability from a newly developed iron compound - an iron fatty acid complex. The iron from the compound is hypothesized to have a higher absorption rate than commonly available supplements in the market. The study is a cross over, human iron isotope study with three arms where participants consume the experimental dietary products in a randomized fashion. The study duration is of 45 days - from the day of the capsule administration till the last blood sampling point
Hypothesis: Synergistic effect of pre-biotics and iron fortificants will enhance the bioavailability of iron; thereby improving the body iron reserves. A double blind, randomized controlled trail will be conducted on iron deficient female adults (age 18-25 years) in order to determine the synergistic effect of pre-biotics and iron fortificants in anemic human subjects. 75 iron deficient females will be randomly divided into 5 groups (D0, D1, D2, D3 and D4), each having 15 study subjects and will be given varying doses of FeSO4 and NaFeEDTA and Inulin and GOS. Blood samples will be collected from overnight fasted women from each group on monthly basis up to three months. Various biomarkers for iron absorption, LFTs, RFTs, and Immunoglobulins will be estimated.
This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study in male and female pediatric subjects (2 years to <18 years of age) with IDA, or felt by their clinician to be at risk of developing IDA. This study allows for enrollment of subjects with IDA regardless of etiology, except for CKD subjects (pediatric CKD subjects are being studied in a separate ferumoxytol protocol).
The prevalence of Vascular Cognitive Impairment(VCI) is high in patients after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack(TIA) . Effective therapy for the prevention of VCI remains limited. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ferrous iron versus placebo on the prevention of vascular cognitive impairment among patients with ischemic stroke/TIA complicated with Hemoglobin deficiency.
