Brief summary

Primary Objectives: To evaluate the safety (compared to iron sucrose) and efficacy of ferumoxytol in pediatric CKD subjects with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) or who are at risk of development of IDA Secondary Objective: To determine the single-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) profile of ferumoxytol in pediatric subjects.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter, study of the safety (compared to iron sucrose), efficacy, and PK/PD of ferumoxytol (7.0 mg Fe/kg x 2 \[max 510 mg/dose\]) in pediatric subjects with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and CKD. There will be a total of approximately 125 subjects randomized to treatment in a 2:1 ratio to either ferumoxytol or iron sucrose. Total subject participation in the study will be up to 7 weeks, which includes a 2-week Screening Period and a 5-week Treatment Period. Subjects receive the following: • Two IV infusions of ferumoxytol 7.0 mg Fe/kg (max 510 mg/dose), the first administered on Day 1 and the second 2-8 days later OR • Iron sucrose (Venofer®): For Hemodialysis Dependent (HDD) patients: 2 mg Fe/kg, administered on consecutive dialysis sessions, for 10 doses (max 100mg/dose with a total max treatment course of 1000mg) For Non-hemodialysis Dependent (NDD) or Peritoneal Dialysis De pendent(PDD) patients: 4 mg Fe/kg, administered up to 3 times/week, for 5 doses (max 200mg/dose with a total max treatment course of 1000mg).

Interventions

DRUGFerumoxytol

Each 20 mL single-use vial contains 17 mL of ferumoxytol that consists of iron at a concentration of 30 mg Fe/mL, coated with polyglucose sorbitol carboxymethylether and formulated with mannitol, at a concentration of 44 mg/mL, in a black to reddish brown sterile, aqueous, colloidal, isotonic solution.

DRUGIron sucrose

Each mL contains 20 mg of elemental iron as iron sucrose in water for injection. The 5 mL single-use vial contains 100 mg of iron per 5 mL. The drug product contains approximately 30% sucrose (300 mg/mL).
