Effect of Preoperative Administration of Intravenous Ferric Carboxymaltose in Patients with Iron Deficiency Anemia after Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Patients scheduled for cardiac surgery often have anemia and iron deficiency. We investigated the effect of the preoperative administration of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (IVFC) in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) who were due to undergo off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB). Patients who were due to undergo elective OPCAB between February 2019 and March 2022 who had IDA (n = 86) were included in this single center, randomized, parallel-group controlled study. The participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either IVFC or placebo treatment. Postoperative hematologic parameters [hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit, serum iron concentration, total iron-binding capacity, transferrin saturation, transferrin concentration, and ferritin concentration] and the changes in these parameters during the follow-up period were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. The tertiary endpoints were early clinical outcomes, such as the volume of mediastinal drainage and the need for blood transfusions. IVFC treatment significantly reduced the need for red blood cell (RBC) and platelet transfusions. Despite receiving fewer RBC transfusions, patients in the treatment group had higher levels of Hb, hematocrit, and serum iron and ferritin concentrations during weeks 1 and 12 after surgery. No serious adverse events occurred during the study period. Preoperative IVFC treatment in patients with IDA undergoing OPCAB improved the values of the hematologic parameters and iron bioavailability. Therefore, is a useful strategy for stabilizing patients prior to OPCAB.

Project description:BackgroundIron deficiency is the primary cause of anemia in children. Intravenous (IV) iron formulations circumvent malabsorption and rapidly restore hemoglobin.MethodsThis Phase 2, non-randomized, multicenter study characterized the safety profile and determined appropriate dosing of ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) in children with iron deficiency anemia. Patients aged 1-17 years with hemoglobin <11 g/dL and transferrin saturation <20% received single IV doses of undiluted FCM 7.5 mg/kg (n = 16) or 15 mg/kg (n = 19).ResultsThe most common drug-related treatment-emergent adverse event was urticaria (in three recipients of FCM 15 mg/kg). Systemic exposure to iron increased in a dose-proportional manner with approximate doubling of mean baseline-corrected maximum serum iron concentration (157 µg/mL with FCM 7.5 mg/kg; and 310 µg/mL with FCM 15 mg/kg) and area under the serum concentration-time curve (1901 and 4851 h·µg/mL, respectively). Baseline hemoglobin was 9.2 and 9.5 g/dL in the FCM 7.5 and 15 mg/kg groups, respectively, with mean maximum changes in hemoglobin of 2.2 and 3.0 g/dL, respectively.ConclusionsIn conclusion, FCM was well tolerated by pediatric patients. Improvements in hemoglobin were greater with the higher dose, supporting use of the FCM 15 mg/kg dose in pediatric patients (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02410213).ImpactThis study provided information on the pharmacokinetics and safety of intravenous ferric carboxymaltose for treatment of iron deficiency anemia in children and adolescents. In children aged 1-17 years with iron deficiency anemia, single intravenous doses of ferric carboxymaltose 7.5 or 15 mg/kg increased systemic exposure to iron in a dose-proportional manner, with clinically meaningful increases in hemoglobin. The most common drug-related treatment-emergent adverse event was urticaria. The findings suggest that iron deficiency anemia in children can be corrected with a single intravenous dose of ferric carboxymaltose and support use of a 15 mg/kg dose.
