Conditions

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the time point of transferrin saturation (TSAT) and ferritin stabilization after a thirteen-treatment period following a ferumoxytol load, as well as to determine the point at which serum ferritin and TSAT concentrations can be checked in iron deficiency anemia (IDA) hemodialysis patients.

Interventions

DRUGferumoxytol

510 milligram (mg) intravenous (IV) injection (30 mg/second (sec) over 17 seconds) after at least one hour of hemodialysis (HD), second 510 mg IV injection administered at next consecutive dialysis treatment (3-5 days after first injection)

Number of Weeks Until Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) and Ferritin Stabilize

TSAT,ferritin,and TIBC measured before start of dialysis on dosing days, and on next 13 HD treatments. Continuous variables were summarized using median. Paired continuous data (e.g., TSAT, serum ferritin) were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Analyses evaluating stabilization of post drug iron indices was determined by comparing consecutive values at consecutive dialysis sessions and when there was no longer a difference between 2 consecutive time points, levels were considered stabilized. P-values \<0.05 were considered statistically significant.
