Iron absorption from a hydrogel iron supplement with and without breakfast
This study tests how well three low-dose hydrogel iron supplements are absorbed in non-anemic, iron-depleted women, compared with regular ferrous fumarate, using labeled iron to measure absorption.
-
Iron status at ICU discharge in adults with anemia after critical illness
We are testing whether iron deficiency is common at ICU discharge and whether it relates to how well patients recover after leaving the ICU.

CTX001: a pill to help iron move where it’s needed in healthy adults
This early test checks if CTX001 is safe and how it behaves in the body to help iron get into red blood cells in healthy adults, with or without iron and with or without food.

Sucrosomial iron for children with celiac disease and iron deficiency
This trial tests whether adding oral Sucrosomial® (Sideral forte®) iron drops to a gluten-free diet helps children aged 8–18 with newly diagnosed celiac disease and low iron or anemia recover hemoglobin and iron stores faster than diet alone.
-
Lactoferrin with low-dose iron to boost iron levels and aerobic fitness in active women
We will test whether taking lactoferrin with a small daily dose of iron helps raise iron stores and improve aerobic performance in menstruating women with low ferritin.
-
Intravenous iron to improve quality of life in older adults after acute coronary syndrome
This trial will try a single dose of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose in people 65 and older with iron deficiency after an acute coronary event to see if it improves quality of life and reduces frailty and adverse outcomes over 12 months.
-
Improving ready-to-use therapeutic foods to help malnourished Kenyan children absorb iron

-
Preoperative IV ferric derisomaltose to prevent anemia and improve quality of life in obese patients having bariatric surgery
This trial tests whether a single preoperative IV ferric derisomaltose dose, compared with saline placebo, prevents postoperative anemia and improves quality of life for iron-deficient obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
-
Impact of Two Iron Formulations on Iron Biomarkers and Quality of Life
This study tests two iron supplement formulations against placebo to see if they improve iron biomarkers and quality of life in healthy adults over about 8 weeks.
-
Using combined iron supplements to reduce blood transfusions in heart surgery patients
This study is testing if a mix of iron supplements and vitamin C can help heart surgery patients with low iron levels need fewer blood transfusions.
-
Ferric derisomaltose versus no IV iron for people with symptomatic chronic heart failure and iron deficiency
This trial will test whether giving IV ferric derisomaltose to people with symptomatic chronic heart failure and low iron lowers the chance of hospitalization or death from heart or blood vessel disease.
-
Effects of long-acting contraceptives on women's iron levels and responses to extreme environments
This study is testing whether long-acting birth control methods can help military women keep their iron levels stable and perform better in extreme environments like heat and cold.
-
Iron treatment for better vaccine responses in Kenyan infants with iron deficiency
This study tests if iron deficiency affects how well vaccines work in young Kenyan infants and whether giving iron at vaccination helps improve those responses.
-
Intravenous iron treatment for patients with non-ischaemic heart failure
This study tests whether an intravenous iron treatment can help people with non-ischaemic heart failure and iron deficiency feel better while they are already on heart failure medications.
