Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM) in Patients With Iron Deficiency Anemia and Impaired Renal Function
Completed · Phase 3
Conditions studied: Iron Deficiency Anemia, Impaired Renal Function
In brief
The primary objective of this study is to examine the efficacy and safety (cardiovascular) of an investigational intravenous (IV) iron, ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), compared to IV iron sucrose (Venofer) in subjects who have iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and impaired renal function.
