Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the effect of a proactive high-dose, with a reactive low-dose, IV iron regimen on all-cause mortality and the incidence of non-fatal cardiovascular endpoints in haemodialysis patients.; Secondary Objective: To determine whether a regimen of proactive IV iron supplementation in haemodialysis patients reduces mortality / cardiovascular endpoints compared to a reactive low-dose regimen. To compare the effect of the two regimens on ESA dose requirements, RBC transfusions, complications of haemodialysis treatment, and QoL. ;Primary end point(s): Time to all-cause death or a composite of non-fatal cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke, and hospitalisation for heart failure) adjudicated by a blinded Endpoint Adjudication Committee.; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This is an event-driven trial - the evaluation will only be conducted once the required number of events are accrued (approximately 2-3 years).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): SECONDARY EFFICACY - Incidence of all-cause death and a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, and hospitalisation for heart failure as recurrent events. - Time to (and incidence of) all-cause death - Time to (and incidence of) composite cardiovascular event - Time to (and incidence of) myocardial infarction - Time to (and incidence of) stroke - Time to (and incidence of) hospitalisation for heart failure - ESA dose requirements - Transfusion requirements - EQ-5D QOL and KDQOL SECONDARY SAFETY - Vascular access thrombosis - All-cause hospitalisation - Hospitalisation for infection - Infection episodes ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: This is an event-driven trial - the evaluation will only be conducted once the required number of events are accrued (approximately 2-3 years).
