Brief Summary

The colon can absorb iron.We propose an integrated approach utilizing colonic transendoscopic enteral tubing to deliver iron in different valence states, coupled with washed microbiota transplantation . This clinical trial aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of this approach for the treatment of iron deficiency.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reticulocyte haemoglobin values in blood

    To compare the level of reticulocyte haemoglobin in the blood before and after administration of iron lactate, iron sucrose and saline.

    Baseline; Day 4

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Serum ferritin levels

    Baseline; Day 4

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Baseline; Day 4

Study Arms (3)

Ferrous Lactate

EXPERIMENTAL

Ferrous lactate is administered via the colon as an injectable solution at a dose of 300 mg per day for 3 days, with saline added to 50ml.

Drug: Ferrous Lactate

Iron Sucrose

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Iron sucrose is administered via the colon as an injectable solution at a dose of 300mg per day for 3 days, with saline added to 50ml.

Drug: Iron sucrose

Saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

0.9% sodium chloride is administered via the colon as an injectable solution at a dose of 50ml per day for 3 days.

Drug: 0.9% NaCl solution

Interventions

The injection solution was 3 ferrous lactate (10ml:0.1g iron) mixed with 20ml saline.

Also known as: PURAMEX(R)
Ferrous Lactate

The injection was 3 shots of ferrous lactate (5ml:100mg iron) mixed with 35ml saline.

Also known as: Iron saccharate
Iron Sucrose

The same volume and color as Iron sucrose.

Also known as: saline (medicine)
Saline
