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.

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 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 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 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 compares two types of iron given through a vein to treat anemia (low red blood cells) after surgery for stomach cancer. It aims to find which treatment is more effective at improving your blood count and energy levels.
