Iron schedule trial for premature babies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 a liquid iron supplement in pregnant women who are not anemic. It aims to see if taking iron can improve their iron levels and overall health during pregnancy.
This study tests whether taking iron supplements during pregnancy helps improve iron levels and overall health. It is designed for pregnant people who may benefit from extra iron.
This study compares starting iron supplements before pregnancy versus waiting until the first trimester (first 3 months) to treat iron deficiency anemia. It aims to see which timing better improves health for mothers and babies.
