NCT05462704

Brief Summary

Double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter randomized trial in pregnant women in the U.S. (N=300) to test the central hypothesis that IV iron in pregnant women with IDA (Hb\<11 g/dL and ferritin\<30 ng/mL) at 13 - 30 weeks will be effective, safe and cost-effective in reducing severe maternal morbidity-as measured by maternal anemia at delivery-and will also improve offspring neurodevelopment.

    Delivery to 7 days postpartum

  • Concentration of maternal ferritin at delivery

    Within 24 hours of admission to inpatient obstetrics unit for delivery of infant

  • Concentration of maternal hemoglobin postpartum day 1

    On day after participant delivered her infant; postpartum day 1

  • Rate of cesarean delivery

    Once at infant delivery

  • +20 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

IV Iron

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants assigned to the IV iron group will receive a single IV infusion of 1000 mg ferric derisomaltose (Monoferric, Pharmacosmos Therapeutics Inc., Morristown, NJ) in 250 mL given over 20 minutes and daily placebo tablets until delivery.

Drug: Ferric derisomaltose

Oral Iron

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants assigned to the oral iron group will receive a single 250 mL IV normal saline infusion given over 20 minutes and 325mg tablets of ferrous sulfate (65 mg of elemental iron) to be taken until delivery.

Drug: Ferrous sulfate

Interventions

Participants assigned to the IV iron group will receive a single IV infusion of 1000 mg ferric derisomaltose (Monoferric, Pharmacosmos Therapeutics Inc., Morristown, NJ) in 250 mL given over 20 minutes.

Also known as: Monoferric
IV Iron

325mg ferrous sulfate tablets (65 mg of elemental iron), 1 to 3 orally per day.

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

Data will be collected from human subjects and will be shared according to NIH guidelines. The investigators are committed to the sharing of final data, being mindful that the rights and privacy of people who participate in research must be protected at all times. The investigators will make a complete study dataset available for sharing. The investigators will have a description of study dataset, including code books, meta-data related to the dataset, and documented programming code used for creating the final study population, for creating variables, and for conducting all outcomes analyses. The investigators will remain HIPAA compliant, and therefore any datasets resulting from participants will be free of any identifiers that would permit linkages to individual research participants and variables that could lead to deductive disclosure of individual subjects.

Access Criteria
The investigators will make the data and associated documentation available to users under a data-sharing agreement that provides for commitment to: a) using the data only for research purposes and not to identify any individual participant; b) securing the data using appropriate computer technology; and c) destroying or returning the data after analyses are completed. Timelines for distribution of data will vary depending on any required restrictions as mentioned above. Data may be distributed by a number of electronic methods, including web-based databases, datasets, and spreadsheets, or via electronic media such as compact discs.
