Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Primary outcome time-point of evaluation: %change in iFGF23 from baseline to 1-2 days post infusion between two IMPs used. Co-primary endpoints: % change in iFGF23 from baseline to 2 weeks post-infusion; composite change in iFGF23 and delta change in phosphate at all time interventions.;Main Objective: To explore whether iron loading with third generation IV iron preparation differentially causes an increase in FGF23 and subsequent reduction in serum phosphate and this may impact markers of bone metabolism which may have longer term implications;Secondary Objective: 1: To test and explore the difference that may arise between the use of two different iron preparations in bone markers (1,25 Vitamin D, calcium, PTH, ALP, bone specific ALP and serum phosphate) and monitor the tolerance and safety of it (by monitoring events of hypophosphataemia) 2: To test and explore the difference that may arise between the use of two different iron preparations in haemoglobin response and ferritin levels 3: To test and explore the cardiac impact that may arise secondary to the difference in iFGF23 release caused by different iron preparations using cardiac biomarkers (troponin T and NT-pro BNP), pulse wave velocity measurements and ECG 4: To test and explore the impact that different iron preparations may have on this cohort of patients with regards to functional status via the use of accredited functionality scores such as the Fatigue Severity Scale and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Instrument (KDQOL) ;Primary end point(s): The percentage change in iFGF23 from baseline to 1-2 days post-infusion between iron isomaltoside and ferric carboxymaltose. Percentage change in iFGF23 from baseline to 2 weeks post-infusion between iron isomaltoside and ferric carboxymaltose. Co-primary outcome: Composite of change in iFGF23 and delta change in phosphate.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): As per outcomes: Difference between the two treatments on bone markers (1,25 Vit D, calcium, PTH, ALP, bone specific ALP and serum phosphate levels) at each study visit and comparison to end. Difference in Pulse Wave Velocity Measurement between baseline and end-point Incidence of hypophosphataemia (<0.65 mmol/L) and severe hypophosphataemia (<0.3mmol/L) Markers of anaemia response (Hb, ferritin, TS%) at each study visit and comparison to end. Difference in functional status (KQDOL and Fatigue Severity Scale) between baseline, when performed and at end-point Effect on cardiac biomarkers (Troponin T and NT-proBNP) at each visit performed and in the case of troponin before and after infusion Effect on ECG: changes in PR interval, QRS duration, QTc, features of ischaemia on every visit performed. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At each visit comparative analysis and to end point. Variables to be compared when performed with baseline measurement. In the case of troponin: at each visit and before and after infusion of iron. Comparative analysis and end-of-trial analysis for all parameters analysed between baseline and end and in-between iron preparatons.
