Iron treatment after certain stomach bleeds in older adults
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving iron after a non–life-threatening stomach or bowel bleed can help rebuild blood levels and prevent problems related to iron deficiency. You would need to be stable after the bleeding is treated and meet specific blood and health criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a single dose of intravenous iron given after heart surgery to see if it helps prevent or reduce long-term anemia. It is for adults who already have low iron or anemia before surgery and who remain anemic the day after surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein before surgery helps people with stomach (gastric) cancer who need an operation. It may be aimed at improving iron levels around the time of gastrectomy (stomach removal).
This study looks at whether giving iron to hospitalized patients with anemia and inflammation can help. It tracks how well the body responds to iron when both low red blood cells and inflammation are present.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a specific iron medicine before major gynecologic cancer surgery can improve recovery. It’s mainly for people with low blood counts from low iron stores before surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron (iron sucrose) can reduce anemia during chemotherapy before curative surgery. It may help you feel better and have smoother treatment by improving low blood counts caused by iron deficiency.
