Effects of Ferric Derisomaltose on Anemia After Spinal Surgery

The Effects of Ferric Derisomaltose on Postoperative Anemia in Patients Undergoing Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study

Phase 4 Interventional Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT05714007

This study is testing if an intravenous iron treatment can help adults recovering from spinal surgery feel better and fix their anemia faster than taking oral iron.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of intravenous ferric derisomaltose in treating postoperative anemia in adults undergoing spinal deformity surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ferric derisomaltose or oral iron, with the study measuring changes in hemoglobin levels, anemia correction rates, and patient quality of life. The trial aims to determine if intravenous iron can provide a faster and more effective solution compared to traditional oral iron, especially in the context of postoperative inflammation that affects iron absorption.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have undergone spinal deformity surgery and meet specific hemoglobin criteria.

Not a fit: Patients with non-iron deficiency anemia, serious hypersensitivity to iron products, or other significant health issues may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve recovery and quality of life for patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery by effectively addressing postoperative anemia.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with intravenous iron therapies, suggesting potential success for this approach.
