Multi-center Trial of Ferric Derisomaltose in Children 0 to <18 Years of Age With Iron Deficiency Anemia

Several clinical trials have been reported for ferric derisomaltose where it has been shown to be well tolerated and to improve markers of IDA. All clinical trials with ferric derisomaltose have been performed in adults, however, IDA is not specific to the adult population. In fact, children are likely to develop IDA due to their rapid growth. The aim in this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) ferric derisomaltose in children 0 to \<18 years of age with IDA due to NDD-CKD or with IDA who are intolerant or unresponsive to oral iron . The subjects will receive ferric derisomaltose/iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monoferric®/Monofer®), at single doses of 10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg with a maximal dose of 1000 mg. 24 subjects will be part of a PK assessment, meaning that more blood samples will be drawn within the first week after treatment. The blood samples will be used for analysis of the amount of total iron in the blood from treatment is given to day 7. For the individual subject, duration of the trial will be approximately 10 weeks (including a 14-day screening period) and each subject will attend 6-9 visits. Subjects who will be included in the PK assessments will attend 8 (subjects age 6 to \<12 years old and 0 to \<6 years old) or 9 (subjects age 12 to \<18 years old) visits, while the other subjects will attend 6 visits.

Comparison Of Efficacy Of Iron Polymaltose Complex And Ferrous Sulphate In Iron Deficiency Anemia In Pediatric Patients

This study aims to compare the efficacy of two iron preparation for the management of children presented with iron deficiency anemia. Ferrous sulphate and lron polymaltose (ferric form) are most commonly used preparations. Both drugs are easily available in market and are often recommended by pediatriclans. The efficacy, bioavail.tbilily, side effects and cost of these preparations vary. This study is designed to find out a drug with better efficacy that can be used for treatment of iron deficiency anemia in local population.

Pilot Trial Investigating Every Other Day Dosing of Oral Iron in Premature Infants (IQONic)

Study focuses on determining if daily versus every-other-day (EOD) oral iron at the same dose per kilogram per day will achieve similar incidence of iron replete status at 36 weeks post-menstrual age in premature neonates
