Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of unexplained anemia in older adults with a short course of weekly intravenous iron infusions can improve physical activity and therefore quality of life.
Detailed Description:
There is a tremendous morbidity and mortality associated with anemia in the elderly and the increasing proportion of elderly adults underscores the population's attributable risk of anemia. As a potentially modifiable factor, an urgent need exists to delineate the impact of anemia correction in the elderly. The Partnership for Anemia: Clinical and Translational Trials in the Elderly (PACTTE) consortium has been created to focus on treatment strategies for anemia in elderly patients. The data presented in this protocol provides a compelling rationale to evaluate the impact of a well-tolerated IV iron preparation in community dwelling older anemic adults with intermediate serum ferritin values.
Subjects will be 65 years or older adults with unexplained anemia and a serum ferritin between 20 and 200 ng/mL.
Subjects will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to either receive a 5 week course of treatment with intravenous iron immediately or to a waitlist control group who will receive treatment with intravenous iron following a 12 week observation period. Both groups will ultimately receive 200mg of intravenous iron sucrose weekly for 5 weeks to determine if this can lead to improvement in 6 Minute Walk Test results. The primary endpoint is change in 6 Minute Walk Test distances from baseline to 12 weeks. The procedures in this protocol will include the use of outcomes tools that have been selected for their ability to show improvement in quality of life in this patient population. Blood samples will also be collected for analysis both at the local lab (safety tests - eg hemoglobin or Hb) or at a central lab for research purposes.
