One-Time iron infusion may speed up mobility recovery in hip fracture patients

NCT ID NCT06898814

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a single intravenous dose of iron (ferric derisomaltose) can improve mobility recovery in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery. Researchers will compare the iron group to a placebo group in 210 participants across three Danish hospitals. The main goal is to see if the treatment helps patients regain their pre-fracture walking ability, reduce fatigue, and improve blood counts.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, one-time treatment to help elderly patients regain walking ability faster after hip fracture surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 4 trial, but the benefit may be modest or not apply to all patients. Risks include allergic reactions to iron, and the study is only in Denmark.
