Generic iron injection put to the test in healthy volunteers
NCT ID NCT07606105
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This Phase 1 trial is comparing a generic version of the iron injection ferric carboxymaltose to the brand-name drug Injectafer in 70 healthy adults. The goal is to see if the generic works the same way in the body and is safe. Participants receive a single dose of either drug and have their blood levels of iron measured over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ferric carboxymaltose (iron injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the generic iron injection is equivalent to the brand-name drug, potentially offering a lower-cost treatment option for iron deficiency.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial in healthy people, not patients. It only measures how the drug moves through the body, not whether it treats disease. The generic may still fail to show equivalence.
