Testing an iron infusion for iron deficiency in HFpEF
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks how common iron deficiency is in people with HFpEF (heart failure with preserved pumping strength) and tests whether an iron infusion (Ferinject®) improves health. It targets people with stable heart symptoms and lab results showing low iron stores or related iron deficiency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can sign consent and join study visits
- You have stable chronic heart failure symptoms in NYHA class II or III
- Your heart pumping measure (LVEF) is 50% or higher
- Your iron levels fit the study limits (low ferritin, or ferritin up to 300 with low transferrin saturation)
- Your blood hemoglobin is between 90 and 150 g/L at screening

This study tests whether giving iron through a vein can help people with heart failure and low iron levels feel better. It compares iron treatment to no iron treatment.
This study tests whether an oral iron supplement (a pill called sucrosomial iron) can help people with heart failure who have low iron feel better, have more energy, and walk farther. Participants will take the iron pill or a placebo (a pill without the active ingredient) for a period and will do exercise tests and answer questionnaires to see how they improve.
This study tests whether giving intravenous iron improves symptoms, quality of life, and exercise ability in people with heart failure and low iron levels. Participants will receive iron infusions and be monitored over time to see if their condition improves.
This study tests whether intravenous iron can improve outcomes for people with non-ischemic heart failure and low ejection fraction who are also iron deficient. If you fit the criteria, you may receive iron infusions to see if it helps your heart function and symptoms.
This study compares two different doses of IV iron (low vs high) to see which works better for people with heart failure and low iron levels. It may help you feel less tired and breathe easier.
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.
