Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim is to investigate the effects of intravenously administered iron in non-anemic iron deficient patients on physical capacity, immunological cells and their function prior to surgery. ;Secondary Objective: The aim is to investigate the effects of intravenously administered iron in non-anemic iron deficient patients on physical capacity, immunological cells and their function prior to surgery. ;Primary end point(s): The study will have three separate primary outcomes. The first primary outcome will be changes in cellular respiration (VO2max at the Anaerobic Threshold) measured by the gold standard Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET). The second primary outcome is the preoperative change in the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)30. The third outcome will be difference in up and downregulation of immune function at the invasive front of the tumor, measured by the Nanostring™ PanCancer Immune® profiling panel. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Changes in cellular respiration and NLR measured between baseline and the day prior to surgery. Up and downregulation of immune function measured at the day of the surgery from resection specimens.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): AE's, SAE´s , blood transfusions, changes in transferrin, ferritin, transferrin saturation, iron, hemoglobin and phosphate. Length of stay, infectious complications measured by the comprehensive complication index and quality of recovery-15. One and five years survival rates and recurrence rates. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: blood transfusions, changes in transferrin, ferritin, transferrin saturation, iron, hemoglobin and phosphate. Length of stay, infectious complications measured by the comprehensive complication index and quality of recovery-15. Will all be measured day 30 after surgery. One and five years survival rates and recurrence rates will be measured at year 1 and 5. AE's and SAE's will be measured within 48 hours after infusion
