Hypochromic microcytic anemia

This study tests whether eating goat liver three times a week can improve anemia in teenage girls in Nepal, compared to standard iron-folic acid pills. Researchers will also look at how gut bacteria affect iron absorption. Sixty girls aged 15-19 with anemia will be randomly assig…

This study will test whether taking oral iron supplements every other day works as well as taking them daily for pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in their second trimester. About 184 women will be randomly assigned to one of two dosing schedules for four weeks. Research…

This trial compares two ways to treat iron deficiency anemia in children aged 1 to 5 years: oral iron syrup taken daily for weeks, or a single intravenous (IV) iron infusion. The goal is to see which approach raises hemoglobin levels faster and with fewer side effects. The study …

This study tests whether sending doctors a reminder about IV iron guidelines helps heart failure patients with iron deficiency get the recommended treatment. About 3,000 hospitalized adults with heart failure and low iron will be included. Doctors in the intervention group receiv…

This early-stage study tests a new treatment using special immune cells (CAR-T cells) designed to reduce harmful antibodies that can prevent or damage bone marrow transplants. About 18 people with blood diseases who have these antibodies will receive the cells in increasing doses…

This study compares giving iron every other day versus daily to children with iron deficiency anemia. The goal is to see if the every-other-day schedule works just as well, causes fewer stomach problems, and is easier for families to follow. Sixty children aged 6 months to 12 yea…

This phase 3 trial in Bangladesh will test whether ferric citrate, a different form of iron, works better and causes fewer stomach problems than the standard ferrous fumarate for pregnant women with moderate to severe iron deficiency anemia. 680 women aged 18-35 in their second t…

This study looks at whether giving iron every day or every other day works better for children with iron deficiency anemia. About 100 kids aged 1-18 will take oral iron for 3 months. Researchers will check blood levels to see which schedule helps more and causes fewer stomach iss…

This study tests whether starting tube feeding right after a stem cell transplant can reduce severe gut graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in people with blood cancers or disorders. About 112 participants will be randomly assigned to either standard care or early tube feeding. The …

This study compares an oral iron supplement (sucrosomial iron) to the usual intravenous (IV) iron given to anemic patients before heart surgery. About 75 adults with mild anemia scheduled for heart procedures will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to …

This study tests whether giving a single dose of intravenous iron the day after heart surgery can reduce the chance of long-term anemia. About 180 adults with low iron or anemia before surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either the iron treatment or a placebo. The main g…

This study tests whether a new oral iron supplement called Sucrosomial iron (Sideral Folico) can effectively treat iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women. Researchers will enroll 82 pregnant women between 24 and 32 weeks of pregnancy with mild to moderate anemia. The goal is to…

This study compares two types of iron supplements—standard ferrous salt and a newer liposomal form—in adult women with iron-deficiency anemia caused by heavy menstrual bleeding. About 100 women will take one of three treatments daily or every other day for three months. Researche…

This study looks at whether giving iron through an IV in the emergency department can help children with iron deficiency anemia recover faster than taking iron pills. Researchers will compare how quickly anemia resolves, how many children need blood transfusions or hospital stays…

This study looks at how different types of anemia—like iron deficiency or thalassemia—can change HbA1c levels, a common test for diabetes, in people who do not have diabetes. Researchers will compare HbA1c results between 100 non-diabetic adults with various anemias and a healthy…

This study aims to see if two short questionnaires can accurately measure how much dietary fiber and iron people eat, compared to the standard method of keeping detailed food records for five days. About 50 adults aged 18 to 65 will fill out the questionnaires and also complete 2…

This study looks at 300 adults hospitalized with heart failure to see if iron deficiency (with or without anemia) is linked to abnormal heart rhythms or ECG changes. Researchers will measure iron levels and monitor for arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycard…
