Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous iron therapy with oral iron therapy in patients with cancer and chemotherapy induced anaemia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Men and women, aged more than 18 years.

  2. Subjects diagnosed with cancer (non-myeloid malignancies) receiving chemotherapy atleast 1 day prior to screening and who are going to receive at least two morechemotherapy cycles.

  3. Hb < 12 g/dL (7.4 mmol/L).

  4. TfS <50%.

  5. Serum Ferritin <800 ng/ml.

  6. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to

  7. Willingness to participate after informed consent (including HIPAA, if applicable).

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Anemia caused primarily by other factors than CIA.

  2. IV or oral iron treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.

  3. Erythropoietin treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.

  4. Blood transfusion within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.

  5. Imminent expectation of blood transfusion on part of treating physician.

  6. Iron overload or disturbances in utilization of iron (e.g. haemochromatosis andhaemosiderosis).

  7. Drug hypersensitivity (i.e. previous hypersensitivity to Iron Dextran or iron mono- ordisaccharide complexes or to iron sulfate).

  8. Known hypersensitivity to any excipients in the investigational drug products.

  9. Subjects with a history of multiple allergies.

  10. Decompensated liver cirrhosis or active hepatitis (alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) > 3times upper normal limit).

  11. Active acute or chronic infections (assessed by clinical judgement and if deemednecessary by investigator supplied with white blood cells (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP)).

  12. Rheumatoid arthritis with symptoms or signs of active joint inflammation.

  13. Pregnancy and nursing (To avoid pregnancy, women have to be postmenopausal (at least 12 months must have elapsed since last menstruation), surgically sterile, or women ofchild bearing potential must use one of the following contraceptives during the wholestudy period and after the study has ended for at least 5 times plasma biologicalhalf-life of the investigational medicinal product: Contraceptive pills, intrauterinedevices (IUD), contraceptive depot injections (prolonged-release gestagen), subdermalimplantation, vaginal ring, and transdermal patches).

  14. Planned elective surgery during the study.

  15. Participation in any other clinical study (except chemotherapy protocol) within 3months prior to screening.

  16. Known intolerance to oral iron treatment.

  17. Untreated B12 or folate deficiency.

  18. Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of Principal Investigator, may causethe subject to be unsuitable for the completion of the study or place the subject atpotential risk from being in the study. Example, Uncontrolled Hypertension, UnstableIschemic Heart Disease or Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus.
