Clinical Trial Summary

A phase 2, randomized, placebo controlled trial evaluating the effects of n intravenous iron supplementation on chronic fatigue in IBD patients with controlled disease.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will evaluate a 6 months therapy with intravenous ferric carboxymaltose.

Patients will undergo a 2-5 days screening period and then will be treated every 4 weeks with iron supplementation/placebo.

At every visit, hematology and blood iron levels will be evaluated. Treatment will be temporarily stopped in case of either Hemoglobin levels above 16 g/dl or ferritin above 800 ng/ml (level decreased to 500 ng/ml in case of Transferrin-Iron Saturation Percentage above 50%).

Study team will be composed of blinded and unblinded personnel and dedicated infusion devices will be used to ensure the double blinding. ;
