This study compares two iron medicines—one a simple iron pill and the other a gentle iron form—to see which works better for children with low iron levels (anemia). If your child has iron deficiency anemia and none of the listed health issues, they may be able to join.
This study tests whether giving iron supplements 4 times a week is better than daily iron for premature babies. It aims to improve hemoglobin levels at 6 months.
This trial compares two types of iron supplements—liposomal iron and ferrous iron—to see which works better at preventing iron deficiency anemia in premature infants. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for these fragile newborns.
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 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 taking iron every day works as well as taking it every other day for children with iron-deficiency anemia. The goal is to find the best schedule to help raise iron levels with fewer side effects.
