Brain study in women with iron deficiency anemia
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This is a study that looks at how iron deficiency anemia may affect the brain, and it also checks whether giving iron through an IV is safe and helpful for some participants. You may be in an observation-only group or an iron-treatment group, depending on study testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a woman between 16 and 60 years old
- You must have iron-deficiency anemia based on blood tests showing low hemoglobin or low hematocrit
- If you’re in the control/observation side, your blood counts must be higher (not low anemia levels)
- You generally should not have diabetes or high blood pressure that requires medication
- You must be able to have MRI scans (no pacemaker, not severely claustrophobic, and not pregnant)

This study looks at whether iron deficiency anemia affects how babies and toddlers (6 to 24 months old) develop their thinking, learning, and behavior. It compares children who have iron-deficiency anemia with those who do not, to help doctors understand the impact on early brain development.
This trial compares two types of iron supplements (Sucrosomial Iron and Ferric Maltol) to see which works better and causes fewer side effects in women with low iron levels. It may help if you have mild to moderate anemia and are not taking other iron supplements.
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 a treatment for iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women between 24 and 32 weeks. It aims to see if managing anemia improves health for both mother and baby.
This trial tests a medication called ferric citrate to treat moderate to severe iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy. If you qualify, you would take the study pill and have regular check-ups to see if it helps raise your iron levels safely.
This study tests an iron injection for treating iron deficiency anemia. It checks how the medicine works in the body, and may help people whose blood iron is too low.
