Iron after major abdominal surgery to improve recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether giving an iron infusion before surgery can improve outcomes for people with gastric cancer who are going to have their stomach removed. The goal is to see if it helps with recovery or reduces complications.
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 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 giving an iron infusion after heart surgery can prevent long-term anemia (low blood counts). It aims to help patients recover better and avoid needing blood transfusions later.
This trial compares two types of IV iron treatments to see which one works better for people who have anemia after gastric cancer surgery. If you're eligible, you could get either ferric carboxymaltose or iron sucrose to help boost your iron levels and improve your anemia.
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.
