FerumoxytolFerumoxytolParticipants received ferumoxytol or placebo during AMAG-FER-IDA-301 \[NCT01114139\]. Participants enrolled in AMAG-FER-IDA-303, a 6-month Extension Study, were evaluated monthly and could receive treatment with ferumoxytol only if they met criteria defined as persistent or recurrent IDA, hemoglobin \<11.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) and transferrin saturation (TSAT) \<20% at any evaluation visit, (except study termination visit). Participants who met criteria began a 5-week treatment period (TP) and received 2 doses of ferumoxytol 510 mg intravenously (IV). The first IV 510-mg dose was administered on TP Day 1 (Baseline); the second 2-8 (5±3) days after Dose 1. The first treatment course with ferumoxytol for participants who previously received placebo in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 1; Course 2 included participants who previously received ferumoxytol in AMAG-FER-IDA-301; subsequent treatment courses were serially numbered.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change In Hemoglobin From TP Baseline To TP Week 5 Following The First Course Of FerumoxytolTP Baseline (Day 1), TP Week 5

Mean change in hemoglobin from TP Baseline (Day 1) to TP Week 5 following the first dose of ferumoxytol was calculated as: Hemoglobin Change = Hemoglobin (TP Week 5) - Hemoglobin (TP Baseline) TP Baseline was the most recent value measured on/after the screening or the closest monthly evaluation visit prior to Day 1 dosing of Course 1.

Change from Baseline used an imputed value of 0 for missing values at the post-baseline visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage Of Participants With An Increase In Hemoglobin ≥2.0 g/dL At Any Time From TP Baseline To TP Week 5TP Baseline (Day 1), TP Week 5 for Courses 1, 2, and 3

Proportion of participants with an increase in hemoglobin ≥2.0 g/dL at any time from TP Baseline to TP Week 5 following each course of ferumoxytol. The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received placebo in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 1. The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received ferumoxytol in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 2; subsequent treatment courses were serially numbered.

Percentage Of Participants Who Achieved A Hemoglobin Level ≥12.0 g/dL At Any Time From TP Baseline To TP Week 5 Following Each Course Of FerumoxytolTP Baseline (Day 1), TP Week 5 for Courses 1, 2, and 3

Proportion of participants who achieved a hemoglobin level ≥12.0 g/dL at any time from TP Baseline to TP Week 5 following each course of ferumoxytol. The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received placebo in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 1. The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received ferumoxytol in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 2; subsequent treatment courses were serially numbered.

Mean Change In TSAT Following Each Course Of Ferumoxytol From TP Baseline To TP Week 5 Following Each Course Of FerumoxytolTP Baseline (Day 1), TP Week 5 for Courses 1, 2, and 3

Mean change in TSAT from TP Baseline to TP Week 5 following each course of ferumoxytol.

Patient-reported Outcome Measure: Mean Change In Functional Assessment Of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Questionnaire From TP Baseline To TP Week 5 Following Each Course Of FerumoxytolTP Baseline (Day 1), TP Week 5 for Courses 1, 2, and 3

The FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire is a 13-item questionnaire designed and validated to specifically assess the presence and impact of treatment on fatigue and related symptoms, such as tiredness, on health-related quality of life in anemic participants with cancer. The questionnaire has 13 items, each measured on a 4-point Likert scale. Scoring ranges from 0 (the most fatigued) to 52 (the least fatigued) points, with higher scores representing better functioning or less fatigue.

Mean change in FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire from TP Baseline to TP Week 5 following each course of ferumoxytol was calculated as:

FACIT-Fatigue Score Change = FACIT-Fatigue Score (Week 5) - FACIT-Fatigue Score (Baseline).

TP Baseline was the most recent value measured on/after the screening or the closest monthly evaluation visit prior to Day 1 dosing in each course.

If the TP Week 5 FACIT-Fatigue Score value was missing, the change from TP Baseline was conservatively imputed as zero.

Time To Hemoglobin Increase Of ≥2.0 g/dL Or To A Hemoglobin Level Of ≥12.0 g/dL From BaselineTP Baseline (Day 1) up to TP Week 5 for Courses 1, 2, and 3

Days to event was defined as the days from Baseline to the first time the participant met the criteria. Participants without any post-Baseline study visits were not included in this analysis.

The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received placebo in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 1. The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received ferumoxytol in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 2; subsequent treatment courses were serially numbered.

Mean Change In Hemoglobin Following Each Course Of Ferumoxytol From TP Baseline To TP Week 5 Following Each Course Of Ferumoxytol After The First CourseTP Baseline (Day 1), TP Week 5 for Courses 1, 2, and 3

Mean change in hemoglobin from TP Baseline to TP Week 5 following each course of ferumoxytol after the first course was calculated for each participant as:

Hemoglobin Change = Hemoglobin (TP Week 5) - Hemoglobin (TP Baseline) The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received placebo in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 1. The first course of treatment with ferumoxytol for participants who had previously received ferumoxytol in AMAG-FER-IDA-301 was considered Course 2; subsequent treatment courses were serially numbered.
