IV iron for colorectal cancer patients with low iron stores
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein can help people with colorectal cancer who have low iron stores but are not anemic. It looks at patients scheduled for curative colon or rectum surgery.

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 study tests whether intravenous (IV) iron therapy can help older adults who have heart failure with preserved pumping function and low iron levels. It aims to improve symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests whether a short course of intravenous (through a vein) iron called iron isomaltose can treat iron-deficiency anemia. It may help people who need faster iron replacement, but only if they meet key safety and health criteria.
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 trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after 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.
