NCT ID NCT01968304
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how common iron deficiency is in cancer patients starting chemotherapy. Researchers checked iron levels in 480 adults with solid tumors or lymphoma. The goal was to find out how many patients might benefit from iron injections, without using other drugs like erythropoietin. The study did not test a treatment, but aimed to better understand iron needs during cancer care.
