NCT05971732

Brief Summary

This study will address whether the additional use of Ferric Derisomaltose on top of standard care will improve exercise capacity and quality of life in patients with acute heart failure and iron deficiency. One group of participants will receive treatment with Ferric Derisomaltose and the other group will receive normal saline 0.9% as placebo.

Study Arms (2)

Ferric derisomaltose

EXPERIMENTAL

Iron to be administered as ferric derisomaltose. The treatment dose (mL) to be administered will be determined by the patient's body weight and hemoglobin (Hb) value. Where Hb ≥10 g/dL, dosage according to body weight is as follows: Body weight \<50 kg: 20 mg/kg; Body weight 50 to \<70 kg: 1000 mg; Body weight ≥70 kg: 20 mg/kg up to a maximum of 1500 mg. Where Hb \<10 g/dL, dosage according to body weight is as follows: Body weight \<50 kg: 20 mg/kg; Body weight 50 to \<70 kg: 20 mg/kg; Body weight ≥70 kg: 20 mg/kg up to a maximum of 2000 mg. Infused over a minimum of 15mins for doses up to and including 1000mg, and a minimum of 30 mins for doses \>1000mg

Drug: Ferric derisomaltose

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will receive normal saline 0.9% in analogy to treatment arm.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

After baseline assessments patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive ferric derisomaltose IV or placebo (normal saline). In the Treatment group, Ferric derisomaltose will be administered according to the dosing schedule.

Also known as: Monofer, Iron (III) isomaltoside 1000
Ferric derisomaltose

In the placebo group, patients will receive the equivalent number of normal saline injections.

Also known as: Normal saline

  • Currently hospitalised for an episode of acute heart failure (AHF) where AHF was the primary reason for hospitalisation, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II - IV.
  • Reaching hemodynamic stability after standard treatment (if tolerated, initiate four pillars of guideline-directed medical therapies). All of the following (i.e., items a to c) must apply:
  • Systolic blood pressure≥100mmHg, without symptoms of hypotension;
  • Stop using intravenous diuretics;
  • Neither intravenous inotropic drugs or vasodilators were used (including nitrates).
  • Subject is iron deficient defined as serum ferritin \<100 ng/mL or 100 ng/mL ≤ serum ferritin ≤299 ng/mL if TSAT \<20%.
  • Able and willing to provide informed consent and accomplish 6 minutes-walking test.

You may not qualify if:

  • Hematological criteria: ferritin \>400 ug/L; hemoglobin \<9.0, hemoglobin \>13.5 g/dL in women or \>14.5 g/dL in men.
  • Renal dialysis or MDRD/CKD-EPI estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<15ml/min/1.73m2

  • Non-iron deficiency anaemia.
  • Already receiving erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESA) or other iron supplements in previous 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Active infection (defined as currently treated with oral or intravenous antibiotics), bleeding (gastrointestinal haemorrhagia, menorrhagia, history of peptic ulcer with no evidence of healing or inflammatory bowel disease) and history of malignant tumor.
  • Any of the following diseases that hinders exercise testing: severe musculoskeletal disease, unstable angina, obstructive cardiomyopathy, severe uncorrected valvular disease, or uncontrolled slow or rapid arrhythmia (mean ventricular rate\> 100 beats / min at rest).
  • Known positive HBsAg and/or HCV RNA; known HIV positivity; chronic liver disease (including active hepatitis), hepatic sclerosis, ALT or AST \> 3x upper limit of normal.
  • Within 3 months of any of the following: acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or acute coronary syndrome (ACS), transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke, uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Revascularization therapy (coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous intervention, or major surgery) in the past 3 months; or planning cardiac surgery or revascularization.
  • Baseline 6 minutes-walking distance\>500m.
