Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Adult (=18 years of age) able to provide signed, written informed consent. 2. Stable heart failure (NYHA II-IV) on maximally-tolerated background therapy (as determined by the site Principle Investigator) for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization. 3. Able and willing to perform a 6MWT at the time of randomization. 4. Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Assessment must be performed at least 12 weeks after major cardiac surgical intervention including coronary artery bypass graft (CABG),valvular repair/replacement, or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implantation. a. Left ventricular ejection fraction =40% obtained during the screening visit OR either of the following i. Historical value of ejection fraction =40% within 24 months of screening visit ii. Historical value of ejection fraction =30% within 36 months of screening visit 5. Hemoglobin >9.0 g/dL and 600 pg/mL (or BNP >200 pg/mL) b. For patients in atrial fibrillation: NT-proBNP >1000 pg/mL (or BNP >400 pg/mL Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 1508 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 1508

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of iron therapy using intravenous (IV) ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), relative to placebo, in the treatment of participants in heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and with iron deficiency.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the effect of IV FCM, relative to placebo, on the functional capacity of patients in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and with iron deficiency.;Primary end point(s): Hierarchical composite of 1) death, 2) hospitalization for heart failure (defined in section 10.2), or 3) change in 6MWT. (Death and hospitalizations for heart failure will be evaluated at one year, Change in 6MWT will be evaluated at 6 months) and tested using the nonparametric Wilcoxon-type test.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: as above | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Time to first event of the composite of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization. The composite endpoint will be composed of adjudicated occurrence of one of the following: a. Cardiovascular Death i. Death due to Heart Failure ii. Death due to Acute Myocardial Infarction iii. Sudden Cardiac Death iv. Death due to Stroke v. Death due to other Cardiovascular Causes b. Hospitalization for Worsening Heart Failure 2. Mean change in 6MWT from baseline to 12 months 3. Time to first event of the composite of cardiovascular death or intervention for worsening heart failure (hospitalization or urgent heart failure visits) 4. Time to first event of the composite of cardiovascular death and cardiovascular hospitalizations 5. Time to cardiovascular death Additional events to be adjudicated for analysis of the secondary endpoints include: a) Non-cardiovascular death b) Hospitalization for myocardial infarction c) Hospitalization for stroke d) Other cardiovascular hospitalizations e) Urgent heart failure visits;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: as above | — |
