Filter by:This study will address whether intravenous (IV) iron repletion with a more intensive target will provide greater benefits in improving exercise capacity for patients with chronic heart failure and iron deficiency. One group of participants will receive a high-dose IV iron regimen with a more intensive target, and the other group will receive a low-dose IV iron regimen with a less intensive target.
This is a double blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate orally-dosed Iron Hydroxide Adipate Tartrate (IHAT) at 2 different dose levels compared to placebo for increasing serum ferritin levels in iron deficient, but otherwise healthy premenopausal women over 12 weeks.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of oral sucrosomial iron on exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with heart failure (HF) and iron deficiency (ID). The main question the study aims to answer is whether oral sucrosomial iron improved exercise capacity, assessed by six-minute walk test, and quality of life, assessed by Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, compared with placebo. One group of participants will receive treatment with oral sucrosomial iron and the other group will receive treatment with placebo.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate Fetal Medicine Foundation's pre-eclampsia risk calculator using maternal characteristics, first trimester serum placental growth factor (PlGF) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in a Finnish general population. Condition or disease: pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, polycystic ovary syndrome
This two-arm, double-blind randomized clinical trial will recruit 208 generally healthy, low-risk pregnant individuals aged 19-42 years living in Vancouver, Canada. Participants will be randomized to receive one of two forms of iron (ferrous fumarate or ferrous bisglycinate) in addition to a prenatal multivitamin (without iron) daily during their pregnancy until delivery, with optional continuation until ~4 weeks postpartum for breastmilk sample collection. Blood samples will be taken at baseline and again at ~37 weeks gestation to assess how different forms of iron impact body iron stores. Rectal swabs will also be taken at baseline and ~37 weeks gestation to detect presence of harmful bacteria in the gut and quantify their abundance. This research will inform more specific guidelines for optimal iron supplementation practices for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency for both mother and baby.
A significant percentage of patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) or mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) have iron deficiency who are symptomatic. This is independently associated with bad quality of life, low functional capacity, lower quality of, life and increased mortality. The prevalence of iron deficiency in HFrEF and HFmrEF patients in Jordan has not been studied in the past.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if taking a mineral-enriched powder can raise blood iron levels compared to a placebo powder in reproductive-aged women with iron deficiency. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the mineral-enriched powder raise blood iron levels compared to a placebo powder in women when it is taken every day for six months? - How many participants still have iron deficiency after six months of taking the mineral-enriched powder compared to a placebo powder? Participants in this clinical trial will drink the mineral-enriched powder containing ferrous iron and zinc sulphate monohydrate or a placebo powder mixed with 1 litre of water daily for six months. The placebo is a look-alike substance that does not contain active ingredients (iron and zinc). Participants will also have to: - Complete an online "study diary" every two weeks for six months - Provide a blood sample once a month for six months - Attend three in-person visits with a researcher, at enrolment (baseline), midline (three months), and endline (six months) - Complete three sets of online questionnaires (following each in-person visit) - Complete three sets of dietary assessments (following each in-person visit) - Provide three stool samples (following each in-person visit)
Oral iron supplements are a cornerstone therapy for treating iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, aiming to replenish low iron levels in the body. These supplements typically contain various iron salts, such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate, ferric maltose and ferric pyrophosphate. Each salt differs in elemental iron content and potential side effects, allowing for tailored treatment based on individual patient needs and tolerability. Moreover, advancements in carrier systems, such as microencapsulation or complexation can enhance the absorption and bioavailability of iron supplements. By improving absorption, these carrier systems may mitigate gastrointestinal side effects and increase the efficacy of iron therapy.
This study will address whether the additional use of Ferric Derisomaltose on top of standard care will improve exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with acute heart failure and iron deficiency. One group of participants will receive treatment with Ferric Derisomaltose and the other group will receive normal saline 0.9% as placebo.
Primary purposeļ¼ To evaluate the difference of hematopoietic response rate at 1 month after concurrent chemoradiotherapy between iron isomaltide and oral iron supplement for treating iron-deficiency anemia patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Secondary purpose: To evaluate the difference of hematopoietic response rate, tolerance, acute side effects, qualtiy of life at 2 months and 3 months after concurrent chemoradiotherapy between Iron Isomaltide and oral iron supplement for treating iron-deficiency anemia patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
