Iron Supplement for Children with Celiac Disease and Low Iron
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special iron supplement taken by mouth helps children who have celiac disease (a condition where the body can't digest gluten) and low iron levels or anemia (not enough healthy red blood cells). The iron supplement is designed to be easily absorbed by the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares eating iron-rich foods versus taking iron supplements to treat low iron levels in children newly diagnosed with celiac disease. It aims to find which approach works better without causing stomach issues.
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 tests whether giving iron supplements to older adults who recently had a non-variceal stomach or intestinal bleed helps bring their blood counts back to normal. You would receive iron either through a vein or as a pill, and the study compares how well they work.
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 study compares two ways of giving iron to children aged 1 to 5 with moderate iron deficiency anemia. The goal is to see which method works better and is easier for families.
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.
