Multi-center Trial of Ferric Derisomaltose Versus no Intravenous Iron in Iron-deficient Subjects With Symptomatic Chronic Heart Failure

Phase 3

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Chronic Heart Failure; Iron Deficiencies
• Interventions: Drug: Ferric Derisomaltose

• Registration Number: NCT06929806
• Lead Sponsor: Pharmacosmos A/S

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the IV Iron treatment ferric derisomaltose helps in the treatment of chronic heart failure in people with iron deficiency. The main question it aims to answer is:

• How many participants are admitted to the hospital or die from a disease in the heart or blood vessels

Researchers will compare treatment with ferric derisomaltose to no treatment with ferric derisomaltose. This will be done to see how well ferric derisomaltose works.

Participants will:

* Be randomized 50/50 to either treatment with Ferric derisomaltose or to no treatment with ferric derisomaltose

* All participants receives standard of care

* Visit site 4-5 times and have 7 video/phone-calls

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Ferric Derisomaltose	Ferric Derisomaltose	50 % of the subjects will be treated with Ferric Derisomaltose 100 mg/mL The ferric derisomaltose dose administered is dependent on the subject's weight and hemoglobin (Hb) level. Subjects treated with ferric derisomaltose will be eligible for re-dosing if transferrin saturation (TSAT) remains below \<25 %
