Chronic Kidney Disease; Iron Deficiency Anemia study: Ferumoxytol vs Iron sucrose
Official title A Study to Evaluate the Safety (Compared to Iron Sucrose), Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of Ferumoxytol for the Treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in Pediatric Subjects With Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03619850
What this study is testing
What is Ferumoxytol?
An investigational intravenous iron supplement being studied for treating iron deficiency anemia in children with chronic kidney disease.
Also referred to as Feraheme.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study will see if ferumoxytol is safe and works as well as iron sucrose for treating or preventing iron deficiency anemia in kids with chronic kidney disease. It will also look at how the drug behaves in the body after one dose.
- Who it's for
- Children who have chronic kidney disease and low iron levels or are at risk of developing low iron.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either ferumoxytol or iron sucrose, have blood tests, and may have other routine visits to monitor safety and effectiveness.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts several months, with multiple clinic visits for treatment and blood testing as scheduled by the investigators.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
