Iron Deficiency, Anaemia in Children study: Ferric Derisomaltose
Official title Multi-center Trial of Ferric Derisomaltose in Children 0 to <18 Years of Age With Iron Deficiency Anemia
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05179226
What this study is testing
What is Ferric Derisomaltose?
This is an investigational intravenous iron medicine being studied to treat iron deficiency anemia in children. It is designed to provide iron directly into the bloodstream to help the body make red blood cells.
Also referred to as Monofer, Monoferric.
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
- This study checks if a specific iron injection is safe and works well for children.
- Who it's for
- Children under 18 with low iron levels, either from kidney disease or because oral iron pills did not work.
- What's involved
- Participants receive an iron injection. Some children will have extra blood tests for the first week to check how the iron moves through their body.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 10 weeks and requires 6 to 9 visits.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
