What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to see if a new intravenous iron formulation (Ferric Bepectate IV Injection) can treat adult patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) by increasing blood hemoglobin (Hb) as an established formulation (Ferric carboxymaltose). It will also learn about the safety of Ferric Bepectate IV Injection. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does hemoglobin increase by the same amount 6 weeks after each treatment?

* What medical problems do participants have when being treated with the drug? Researchers will compare single dose treatment plans of Ferric Bepectate to double dose treatment plans of both Ferric Bepectate and Ferric carboxymaltose.

Participants and researchers will know which drug they are being provided (open-label). Participants will visit the clinic 5 times over 6 weeks for checkups, blood tests and questionaries. The first two visits will be seven days apart and include the two doses of iron treatment.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • Ferric Bepectate IV Injection
  • Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection

Trial Overview

The study compares a new IV iron treatment (Ferric Bepectate) to an established one (Ferric Carboxymaltose) in adults with iron deficiency anemia. It looks at how well each raises hemoglobin over 6 weeks using different dosing plans. Both patients and doctors know which drug is given.
