Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  ferric carboxy maltose (FCM)  ferric carboxy maltose (FCM) will be administered as 1000 mg at baseline diluted in 250 mL 0.9 % sodium chloride injections over approximately 15-20 minutes. No premedication (e.g. antihistamine or steroids) is given before administration of the drug. It is given only once at the baseline, and it is not readministered during the trial period as per trial protocol. In case of necessity for re-administration, the same is recorded in the follow-up proforma and will be analyzed separately. 
Intervention  Iron Isomaltoside(i3)  Iron isomaltoside will be administered as a single IV infusion of 1000 mg at baseline diluted in 100 mL 0.9 % sodium chloride and given over approximately 20 minutes (50 mg iron/min). No premedication (e.g. antihistamine or steroids) is given before administration of the drug. It is given only once at the baseline, and it is not readministered during the trial period as per trial protocol. In case of necessity for re-administration, the same is recorded in the follow-up proforma and will be analyzed separately.

Brief Summary  

Anemia is a significant public health problem involving all stages of the life cycle but is more prevalent in pregnant women and young children. Iron deficiency is the most critical contributor (>50%) to the anemia globally, to the extent that the terms iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and anemia are often used interchangeably. IDA can have a substantial medical and quality of life (QoL) burden on the subjects, and treatment of these subjects includes controlling the bleeding and replenishing lost iron.

Oral iron is considered first-line therapy for IDA because of its low cost, perceived safety profile, and ease of administration. Nonetheless, the oral iron absorption is affected by several dietary factors (particularly high phytate content in the Indian diet); also, the high incidence of gastrointestinal side effects leads to poor compliance to therapy. Parenteral iron therapy on the other hand, leads to rapid replenishment of iron stores.

Ferric carboxy maltose (FCM) has largely replaced other forms of parenteral iron preparation in India due to its acceptable dosing schedule and lower side effect profile.  However, cost of treatment with FCM is a major limiting factor in its use along with notable hypophosphatemia. It is therefore, this product has been chosen as comparator in this trial which is planned to evaluate the safety,efficacy and cost effectiveness of intravenous (IV) iron isomaltoside(i3) compared to IV FCM in subjects with IDA.
