Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional Phase 4 trial compares two iron therapies for pregnant women with iron-deficiency anemia and low hemoglobin. Participants are assigned to receive either Venofer or Ferinject, with outcomes including hemoglobin levels and the need for blood transfusions before and after delivery. Eligibility focuses on late-pregnancy anemia (Hb < 9, or < 9.5 if symptomatic or prior postpartum hemorrhage) and excludes those with certain conditions or twin pregnancies. The lead site is Western Galilee Hospital in Nahariya, with Galilee Medical Center as a participating location.
