Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 and older with confirmed iron deficiency anemia meeting the specified laboratory criteria and willing to use effective contraception.
✕Probably not a fit
Participants not showing a favorable pharmacokinetic match or who experience adverse reactions may not derive a direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 1 interventional trial compares the pharmacokinetic profile of a ferric derisomaltose injection from a local manufacturer with the reference MonoFer product under fasting conditions in adults with iron deficiency anemia. Participants are randomized in stratified blocks to receive either the test or reference formulation and are monitored for safety alongside pharmacokinetic measurements. Primary questions focus on differences in drug exposure between the two products and overall tolerability. Key inclusion criteria require adults ≥18 years with confirmed iron deficiency anemia, adequate contraceptive measures, and specific laboratory thresholds. Exclusion criteria include potential allergies and other standard safety exclusions typical for iron formulations. The study is sponsored by Sichuan Huiyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., with collaboration from several partner organizations and sites in China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the test product could provide a safe, effective alternative iron therapy with comparable pharmacokinetics to the reference product.
How similar studies have gone: Previous iron formulations have shown predictable pharmacokinetics with comparable products; this study assesses similarity under fasting conditions for a new manufacturing source.

Exclusion Criteria: 1. Allergic constitution (e.g., asthma, eczema, etc.), or known allergy to Ferric Derisomaltose Injection or other parenteral iron preparations, maltose or its analogues, metabolites, water for injection, hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, or nitrogen; 2. History of severe or chronic diseases of the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, hematological, metabolic, immune, or neuropsychiatric systems, or current neoplasm malignant, within 12 months prior to screening, other than iron deficiency anemia, and judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in the study; 3. Acute infection within 2 weeks prior to screening; 4. Laboratory tests: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \>1.5 times the upper limit of normal (×ULN); aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 1.5×ULN; total bilirubin (TBiL) \> 1.5×ULN; albumin \<30 g/L; platelets \<90×109/L; neutrophil count \<1.3×109/L; glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \<60 ml/min/1.73m2 (estimated by the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula, GFR \[mL/(min·1.73m2)\] = 186 × serum creatinine mg/dL-1.154 × age year-0.203 (×0.742, for females)), or other results from hematology, automated urinalysis, blood chemistry, coagulation profile, iron metabolism, or serum ferritin judged by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in the study; 5.

Average daily smoking of more than 5 cigarettes in the 3 months prior to screening; 10. History of surgery within 3 months prior to screening that, in the investigator's judgment, would affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion, or planning to undergo surgery during the study period; 11.
