Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Detailed Description

A phase II, open-label, multi-center study with 2 Cohorts to evaluate the safety, tolerance, PK, and PD profile of intravenous (IV) FCM in infants 0 to 1 year of age with IDA after receiving either a 5.0 mg/kg or 7.5 mg/kg dose of FCM.

Participants will have a screening evaluation within 14 days of the first dose of study drug. A medically supervised environment is required on Day 1 (day of dosing) and for 4 hours post dosing. Participants are allowed to be enrolled if satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will return to the study site for additional evaluation and sampling on Days 8 (± 2 days), 15 (± 2 days), 22 (± 2 days), and 36 (± 2 days).

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 1 year (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and female participants 0 to 1 year of age, medically indicated for iron replacement, with his/her parent or legal guardian willing and able to sign the informed consent form approved by the IRB / Independent Ethics Committee (IEC).
  2. Screening Hb ≥7 g/dL to <10 g/dL.

  3. Infants with any of the following conditions:

    • Heart failure with IDA defined as syndromes of excessive preload, excessive afterload, abnormal rhythm, or decreased contractility
    • Gastrointestinal diseases with acquired short bowel syndrome (due to volvulus, necrotizing enterocolitis from surgical resection or spontaneous intestinal perforation)
    • Gastrointestinal intolerance of oral iron or an unsatisfactory response to oral iron
    • Other conditions associated with IDA which in the opinion of the investigator might benefit from administration of FCM

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known history of hypersensitivity reaction to FCM.
  2. Body weight <2.5 kg.
  3. History of acquired iron overload, hemochromatosis, or other iron accumulation disorders.
  4. Hemodialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease.
  5. History of significant diseases of the liver, hematopoietic system, cardiovascular system, or other conditions which, on the opinion of the investigator, may place a participant at added risk for participation in the study.
  6. Active infection.
  7. Anemia due to reasons other than iron deficiency (e.g., hemoglobinopathy vitamin B12 deficiency, or folic acid deficiency).
  8. Blood transfusion in the 4 weeks prior to consent.
  9. Administration of an iron-containing product within 14 days of administration of the study article.
  10. Administration and / or use of an investigational product (drug or device) within 30 days of screening.
  11. Current participation in another clinical trial.
  12. Unable to comply with study procedures and assessments.
