Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean Change in Hemoglobin

    Change in hemoglobin g/dL from baseline to Day 43 was analyzed using parametric analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

    Baseline and Day 43

  • Mean Change in Serum Ferritin

    Change in Ferritin ng/mL from baseline to Day 43 was analyzed using parametric analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

    Baseline and Day 43

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Clinical Success (Change in Hemoglobin)

    Baseline and Day 43

  • Clinical success (change in Ferritin)

    Baseline and Day 43

Study Arms (2)

Iron Sucrose

EXPERIMENTAL

Iron sucrose 200 mg intravenous on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29

Drug: Iron Sucrose + Erythropoietin

Oral Iron

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Oral ferrous sulfate 325 mg three times a day on Days 1 to 29.

Drug: Oral Iron + Erythropoietin

Interventions

The total dose of iron sucrose was 1,000 mg. Participants also received erythropoietin 2,000 units subcutaneously on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36.

Also known as: Venofer
Iron Sucrose

Oral iron 325 mg three time daily for 29 days. Participants also received erythropoietin 2,000 units subcutaneously on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36.
