Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose vs IV Iron Sucrose or IV Iron Dextran in Treating Iron Deficiency Anemia in Women

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Iron Deficiency Anemia

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare safety and the oxidative stress potential of two doses of an investigational IV iron, ferric carboxymaltose (FCM), compared to an equal single dose of IV iron sucrose or IV iron dextran in the treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in female subjects.
