Intravenous Iron Isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) Compared With Oral Iron in the Treatment of Postgastrectomy Anemia: An Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial

January 17, 2019 updated by: Yonsei University

Iron deficiency anemia is a common complication in patients who underwent gastrectomy and leads to a deterioration in patient's quality of life. Therefore iron supplementation is one of the important treatments in postgastrectomy patients.

Taking an oral iron is an option for iron supplementation, but the postgastrectomy patients has poor absorption of iron due to their anatomic change. Accordingly, intravenous iron supplementation has been emerged as another treatment option, but there are only a few studies to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous iron supplementation compared with oral iron in patients underwent gastrectomy.

Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the iron supplementation method as intravenous injection of iron isomaltoside compared with oral iron in the treatment of postgastrectomy anemia.

Gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy more than 1 year ago and hemoglobin level lower than 11 g/dL will be included in this trial. After the registration, the patients will be randomly assigned to intravenous iron (n = 179) or oral iron groups (n = 179).

Calculated dose of iron isomaltoside using Ganzoni formula will be injected intravenously in intravenous iron group and 160 mg/day of ferrous sulfate for 12 weeks will be taken in oral iron group. Hemoglobin and iron profiles at baseline and weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12 and quality of life score at baseline and weeks 12 period will be evaluated.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: IV iron (Monofer) group
Iron isomaltoside(Monofer) will be injected intravenously and injection dose will be calculated using Ganzoni formula.
Drug: iron isomaltoside (Monofer) intravenous infusion

The investigational drug is a newest formulation of intravenous iron. The drug, iron isomaltoside (Monofer), will be infused one single high dose with infusion time more than 30 minutes (< 1,000 mg) or 60 minutes (≥ 1,000 mg). The dosage is determined using the Ganzoni formula and divided when the calculated dose exceeds 20 mg/kg.

If the calculated dose exceeds 1,500 mg, the patient will be excluded from trial for patient safety.
Active Comparator: Oral iron group
Ferrous sulfate(Feroba-YOU) 160mg/day for 12 weeks will be taken per oral.
Drug: Ferrous sulfate(Feroba-YOU) per oral
160 mg/day of ferrous sulfate (Feroba-YOU) will be taken per oral for 12 weeks.
