Study Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety (cardiovascular) of an investigational intravenous (IV) iron, ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), compared to IV iron sucrose (Venofer) in subjects who have iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and impaired renal function.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean Change From Baseline to the Highest Observed Hemoglobin Any Time From Baseline to End of Study.
Time Frame: Day 56
Proportion of Subjects Experiencing at Least One Event in the Primary Composite Safety Endpoint in the Randomized Population.
