Iron infusions for anemia after stomach cancer surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of iron given through a vein to treat anemia (low red blood cells) after surgery for stomach cancer. It aims to find which treatment is more effective at improving your blood count and energy levels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old and weigh at least 50 kg
- You have had surgery to remove stomach cancer and now have low blood counts (anemia)
- Your iron levels are low, as confirmed by a blood test
- You are generally able to care for yourself (ECOG score 0-2)
- Your liver, kidneys, and blood clotting are working well enough
- You have not taken iron pills, iron infusions, or erythropoietin in the last 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 Phase 3 study tests whether giving a specific iron medicine before major gynecologic cancer surgery can improve recovery. It’s mainly for people with low blood counts from low iron stores before surgery.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving ferric carboxymaltose (an IV iron treatment) helps people with advanced stomach or stomach–esophagus cancer and iron-deficiency anemia. The goal is to improve safety and how well the standard first-line cancer treatment works.
This trial tests whether giving iron (iron sucrose) can reduce anemia during chemotherapy before curative surgery. It may help you feel better and have smoother treatment by improving low blood counts caused by iron deficiency.
This trial tests whether giving iron through a vein after heart surgery helps treat postoperative anemia (low red blood cells) in people age 70 and older. It may improve recovery by correcting low iron levels after surgery.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving iron (as ferric carboxymaltose) after complex major surgery can improve recovery by helping your body rebuild blood and oxygen levels after blood loss. It may help patients who are having certain types of aortic, liver, or pancreas operations.
