Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

 

Study Design:

Prospective, Open-label, Randomized, Comparative, Multi-centre Study with Two Treatment Groups:

A. Iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®)

 

- Administered as intravenous infusions (A1)

·         Maximum 1000 mg iron each week until full replacement dose is achieved (if the subject weight is between 35.1-45 kg maximum 750 mg iron/infusion or if the subject weight is between 30-35 kg maximum 500 mg iron/infusion).

·         The infusion is diluted in 100 mL 0.9% sodium chloride and given over approximately 15 minutes.

 

- Administered as intravenous bolus injections (A2)

·         The full iron replacement dose of iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) listed in the dosing table is administered as bolus injections of 500 mg administered undiluted over approximately 2 minutes, once per week until full replacement dose is achieved.

·         In some cases the remaining dose on the last dosing day may be 250 mg e.g., on visit 4 if the full replacement dose is 1250mg,

·         In these situations remaining 250 mg should be administered undiluted over approximately 2 minutes

 

-Iron sulphate administered orally (B)

·         100 mg elementary iron b.i.d. (200 mg daily) for 8 weeks.

 

Prohibited concomitant medication and therapy:

 

1. Blood transfusion.

2. Any iron supplementation other than investigational drugs.

3. Erythropoeisis-Stimulating Agents (ESA).

4. Medications which potentially yield a decrease in oral iron absorption, e.g. tetracycline, antacids, cholestyramine etc.
