Brief summary
This is an open-label, multicenter pharmacokinetic study of Hemodialysis (HD) or Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) patients receiving erythropoietin. Patients were administered 100mg of iron sucrose undiluted by slow IV push over 5 minutes. Patients underwent serial blood draws and were subsequently followed for 7 days for safety endpoints.
Detailed description
This is an open-label, multicenter pharmacokinetic study of HD of adolescent PD patients receiving erythropoietin. Patients between the ages of 12 and 18 were administered 100mg of iron sucrose, undiluted by slow IV push over 5 minutes, and underwent serial blood draws. The patients were subsequently followed for 7 days for safety endpoints.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Measured Plasma Concentration (Cmax) | 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 720 minutes | Cmax refers to the highest measured drug concentration which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. |
| Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC 0-t) | 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 720 minutes | The AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample; AUC 0-t is defined as AUC from time 0 to the last data point |
| Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC 0-∞) | 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 720 minutes | The AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample. AUC 0-∞ is defined as area under the concentration vs. time curve from zero to infinity. |
| Terminal Elimination Half-life (T1/2) | 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 720 minutes | T1/2 refers to the time taken for concentration of a drug to decrease from its maximum concentration to half of Cmax |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total Body Clearance (CL) | 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 720 minutes | CL refers to the Dose/AUC 0-∞ |
| Volume of Distribution (Vd) | 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, and 720 minutes | Vd refers to the ratio of amount of drug in a body (dose) to concentration of the drug that is measured in blood, plasma, and un-bound in interstitial fluid. |
