This Phase 3 study compares taking iron through an IV versus by mouth to treat iron-deficiency anemia after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for improving iron levels and blood counts.
This study looks at complications after a type of weight-loss surgery called sleeve gastrectomy (removing part of the stomach). If you are considering this surgery and meet the weight/health guidelines, you may be able to join to help doctors learn more about risks and recovery.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein before surgery helps people with stomach (gastric) cancer who need an operation. It may be aimed at improving iron levels around the time of gastrectomy (stomach removal).
This trial tests a single dose of intravenous iron given after heart surgery to see if it helps prevent or reduce long-term anemia. It is for adults who already have low iron or anemia before surgery and who remain anemic the day after surgery.
This trial tests if a newer type of iron pill (sucrosomial iron) works as well as intravenous (IV) iron to raise low red blood cell levels before heart surgery. If you have mild anemia from low iron, this study may help improve your blood count before your procedure.
This trial tests whether giving an intravenous iron supplement (ferric derisomaltose) can help prevent anemia and improve quality of life in obese patients who have low iron stores. It aims to see if this treatment can boost energy and reduce fatigue.
