Iron through a colon tube with fecal transplant for iron deficiency
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests giving iron directly into the colon through a special tube, combined with fecal transplants, to treat iron deficiency. It may help people whose iron stores are very low and who have already had fecal transplants.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blood test showing ferritin (iron storage) level of 30 or lower
- You have had at least 3 fecal transplant sessions already
- You can have a thin tube placed in your colon that reaches the end of the small intestine
- You do not have other conditions like heavy bleeding that cause low iron
- You are not allergic to iron and are not taking medicines that block iron absorption

This trial tests which iron infusion works best to treat iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy—ferric derisomaltose versus iron sucrose. It may help you raise your iron levels and improve anemia symptoms while being closely monitored with blood tests and follow-up visits.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein can help people with colorectal cancer who have low iron stores but are not anemic. It looks at patients scheduled for curative colon or rectum surgery.
This trial tests a type of IV iron called ferric carboxymaltose to treat children with iron deficiency anemia in the emergency department. It aims to find a safe and effective way to quickly raise hemoglobin levels.
This trial studies IV ferric derisomaltose to treat iron deficiency anemia in children under 18. It is meant for children whose anemia is from a true iron problem and who either cannot tolerate or do not respond to iron taken by mouth, or have certain kidney-related causes.
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving a specific IV iron (darbe plus IV iron) can help preterm babies need fewer blood transfusions while still keeping their iron levels in a safe range. It focuses on babies in the NICU who were born early, and it compares transfusion use and iron sufficiency over time.
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.
