Brief summary

This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized phase 3 clinical study comparing the efficacy and safety of the combination treatment of ESA and high-dose IV iron (darbepoietin alfa + ferric derisomaltose/iron isomaltoside) with ESA monotherapy (darbepoietin alfa alone) in CIA patients with functional iron deficiency.

Interventions

Ferric derisomaltose/iron isomaltoside (as iron) (0 weeks): 20mg/kg, diluted in 250ml of 0.9% physiological saline and injected intravenously over 30-60 minutes

Darbepoietin alfa (0 weeks, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 9 weeks): 6.75㎍/kg, subcutaneous or intravenous administration

Inclusion criteria

* Patient who has signed a written consent * Age ≥ 19 ③ Histologically diagnosed advanced/metastatic solid cancer * Patients who have received myelosuppressive chemotherapy for palliative purposes within 1 month of participating in the study and plan to proceed with chemotherapy while participating in this study * Anemia with functional iron deficiency 1. Hemoglobin \<10g/dL 2. functional iron deficiency: transferrin saturation \<50% AND serum ferritin 30-800ng/mL ⑤ ECOG performance status 0-2 ⑥ life expectancy ≥ 24weeks

Exclusion criteria
