Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Hemoglobin (Hb) From Baseline to Week 8 | Baseline to week 8 | Efficacy Evaluate the effect on the hemoglobin (Hb) level following treatment with iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose vs iron sucrose in subjects with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) . Response was defined as change from baseline in hemoglobin (Hb) to week 8, i.e. ability to increase Hb in subjects with IDA, when oral iron preparations were ineffective or could not be used or in whom the screening Hb measurement in Investigators' opinion were sufficiently low to require rapid repletion of iron stores. |
| Primary | Incidence of Protocol-defined Serious or Severe Hypersensitivity Reactions | Baseline to week 8 | Safety For this endpoint, the number of participants with serious or severe hypersensitivity reactions were evaluated. The hypersensitivity reactions that were included in the analysis were those that started on or after the first dose of randomised treatment (i.e. treatment emergent). The terms used to define hypersensitivity were those specified by the Standardised MedDRA Queries (SMQ) for hypersensitivity, plus four additional terms: loss of consciousness, seizure, syncope, unresponsiveness. The potential hypersensitivity AEs were adjudicated in a blinded fashion by an independent Clinical Endpoint Adjudication Committee (CEAC). Results show only those participants that had adjudicated and confirmed serious or severe hypersensitivity reactions. |
| Secondary | Composite Cardiovascular Adverse Events (AEs) | Baseline, week 1, 2, and 8 | Safety Results show the composite cardiovascular adverse events (AEs), that started on or after the first dose of randomised treatment (i.e. treatment emergent) up to week 8. The reported potential cardiovascular AEs were adjudicated in a blinded fashion by an independent Clinical Endpoint Adjudication Committee (CEAC). The potential cardiovascular AEs included the following: * Death due to any cause * Non-fatal myocardial infarction * Non-fatal stroke * Unstable angina requiring hospitalisation * Congestive heart failure requiring hospitalisation or medical intervention * Arrhythmias * Hypertension * Hypotension Results show only those participants that had adjudicated and confirmed treatment-emergent composite cardiovascular AEs. |
| Secondary | Time to First Composite Cardiovascular Safety AE | Baseline, week 1, 2, 4, and 8 | Safety Time to first composite cardiovascular AE was defined as the actual time in days from first dose of treatment until the date of the composite cardiovascular AE. For subjects not reporting a composite cardiovascular AE, the time was censored at the date of the last attended visit. Only the adjudicated and confirmed composite cardiovascular safety AEs, as judged by the CEAC, were considered for this endpoint. Time to first composite cardiovascular AE was defined as the actual time in days from first dose of treatment until the date of the composite cardiovascular AE. For subjects not reporting a composite cardiovascular AE, the time was censored at the date of the last attended visit. |
| Secondary | S-phosphate <2 mg/dL at Any Time From Baseline to Week 1, 2, 4, and 8 | Baseline, week 1, 2, 4, and 8 | Safety Results show the number of subjects who had s-phosphate \<2 mg/dL at any time from baseline to week 1, 2, 4, or 8. |
| Secondary | Hb Concentration Increase of ≥2 g/dL From Baseline to Week 1, 2, 4, and 8 | Baseline, week 1, 2, 4, and 8 | Efficacy Results show responders to the treatment. A subject was considered a Hb responder to a certain week if an increase in Hb of at least 2 g/dL from baseline to the week in question was observed (week 1, 2, 4, and 8). |
| Secondary | Time to Change in Hb Concentration ≥2 g/dL | Baseline, week 1, 2, 4, and 8 | Efficacy Time to change in Hb concentration ≥2 g/dL. Subjects who achieved Hb concentration increase of ≥2 g/dL (from baseline to week 1, 2, 4, or 8). For responders, time to Hb response was defined as the scheduled time from baseline until the visit where the first Hb response was measured. |
| Secondary | Hb Concentration of >12 g/dL at Any Time From Week 1 to Week 8 | Week 1 to week 8 | Efficacy Hb concentration of \>12 g/dL at any time from week 1 to week 8. Results show the number of participants who achieved Hb concentration of \>12 g/dL at any time from week 1 to week 8. |
| Secondary | Hb Concentration Increase of ≥2 g/dL at Any Time From Week 1 to Week 8 | Week 1 to week 8 | Efficacy Results show the number of participants who achieved Hb concentration increase of ≥2 g/dL at any time from week 1 to week 8. |
| Secondary | S-Ferritin Concentration of ≥100 ng/mL and Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) of 20-50% at Any Time From Week 1 to Week 8 | Week 1 to week 8 | Efficacy Proportion of subjects reaching the composite endpoint of s-ferritin concentration ≥100 ng/mL and TSAT of 20-50% at any time from week 1 to 8. |
