Research Study to demonstrate that intravenous iron isomaltoside 1000 (Monofer®) is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in reducing renal related anemia in subjects with non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD), determined as ability to increase Hb.
- Conditions
- non-dialysis dependent chronic kidney disease Subjects
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2010/091/000417
- Lead Sponsor
- Pharmacosmos AS
- Brief Summary
**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.

- Rheumatoid arthritis with symptoms or signs of active joint inflammation.
- Pregnancy and nursing (To avoid pregnancy, women have to be postmenopausal (at least 12 months must have elapsed since last menstruation), surgically sterile, or women of child bearing potential must use one of the following contraceptives during the whole study period and after the study has ended for at least 5 times plasma biological half-life of the investigational medicinal product (5 days): Contraceptive pills, Intrauterine Devices (IUD), contraceptive depot injections (prolonged-release gestagen), subdermal implantation, vaginal ring, and transdermal patches).

- Planned elective surgery during the study.
- Participation in any other clinical study within 3 months prior to screening.
- Known intolerance to oral iron treatment.
- Untreated B12 or folate deficiency.
- I.V. or oral iron treatment or blood transfusion within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.
- ESA treatment within 8 weeks prior to screening visit.
- Serum ferritin > 500 μg/L.
- Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of Principal Investigator, may cause the subject to be unsuitable for the completion of the study or place the subject at potential risk from being in the study or interfere with study drug evaluation.
- Example, Uncontrolled Hypertension, Unstable Ischemic Heart Disease or Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus.
- History of immunodeficiency, including positive HIV test result.
- Body weight < 30 kilograms.
