Conditions: Iron Deficiency Anaemia
Keywords: IDA Iron deficiency iron deficiency anaemia and who are intolerant or unresponsive to oral iron therapy
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 511
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The purpose of the trial is to evaluate and compare the effect of iron isomaltoside 1000 to iron sucrose in its ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb) in subjects with IDA when oral iron preparations are ineffective or cannot be used or where there is a clinical need to deliver iron rapidly.

Detailed description:
IDA is highly prevalent in subjects with gastrointestinal diseases and cancer, menstruating or pregnant women, and subjects who have undergone bariatric procedure. IDA can have a substantial medical and quality of life (QoL) burden on the subjects and the treatment of these subjects includes controlling the bleeding and replenishing lost iron. Oral iron administration is often used in the clinical practice at many clinics; however, oral iron may not be tolerated by all subjects. Hence, there is a need for an alternative iron treatment in subjects, who do not tolerate oral iron.

This study is planned to compare the efficacy and safety of iron isomaltoside 1000 with another parenteral iron preparation (iron sucrose) in subjects with IDA and who are intolerant or unresponsive to oral iron therapy or who need iron rapidly.
