Liposomal vs. ferrous iron for preventing anemia in preterm babies
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at 34 weeks of pregnancy or earlier
- Your baby can eat by mouth (orally)
- Your baby weighed less than 2500 grams (about 5.5 pounds) at birth
- Your baby has not had major surgery, serious birth defects, metabolic disorders, gut problems, or sepsis

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 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 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 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 trial compares giving iron through a vein (IV) versus by mouth (oral) to treat iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy. It may help you and your baby by finding which method works better and fits safely during mid-pregnancy.
