Brief summary

This phase II study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ferinject® in reducing perioperative transfusion in iron deficiency anemia patients anticipating pancreatoduodenectomy.

Detailed description

Primary objectives : Perioperative transfusion rate (including preop, intraop, postop≦7 days). Secondary objectives : Postoperative complication, hospital stay, change of hematological parameters (Hb, ferritin, transferrin saturation (TSAT) change after Ferinject® injection), adverse effect with Ferinject® injection.

Interventions

Ferinject® to be administered as IV drip infusion or undiluted bolus injection with a minimum administration time of 15minutes (for 1000mg single administration) for body weight ≥50 Kg or 6 minutes (for 500mg single administration) for body weight \<50 Kg . Study drug may be administered as IV drip infusion or IV undiluted bolus injection.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Perioperative transfusion ratefrom preoperative baseline within the first 7 days after surgeryTo evaluate reducing transfusion rate during perioperative period

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assessment of complications after surgery as assessed by Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complicationsup to 4-6 weeks after surgeryTo investigate the association between the number of participants with complications and hospital length of stay(days)
Change of hematology parametersup to 4-6 weeks after surgerychange of hematology parameters value of Hb in g/dL, * ferritin in ng/ml * transferrin saturation in % (TSAT) after Ferinject® administration)
