Single IV iron dose for anemia after leg or pelvic fractures
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a one-time IV iron treatment can improve anemia (low blood count) after surgery for a leg or pelvic fracture. It may help your body make red blood cells faster after blood loss from the injury and operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 89 and were treated for a leg or pelvis fracture that needed surgery
- You developed low hemoglobin (about 7 to 11) within 7 days after your definitive fracture surgery
- You have no known allergy or bad reaction to IV iron
- You did not need large additional blood transfusions around surgery (more than 2 units)
- You do not have major long-term blood/bleeding disorders (like sickle cell, hemophilia, or von Willebrand disease)
- You are not pregnant and do not have iron overload (very high ferritin or transferrin saturation)

This trial looks at whether a specific iron infusion (ferric derisomaltose) can help treat anemia after spinal deformity surgery. You may be eligible if your blood counts show anemia soon after surgery and it’s likely due to iron deficiency.
This trial studies whether giving iron through a vein (IV) helps improve anemia caused by heavy uterine bleeding. You may join if you were treated in the emergency department, can go home, and can return for follow-up checks in the next several weeks.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery can help fix low iron levels and improve recovery. It is for people who have iron deficiency (with or without anemia) before their planned heart surgery.
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.
