What this phase means
Phase 4: the treatment is already approved. This study asks new questions — longer-term effects, other diseases, or how it compares in everyday care.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are High-dose ferric derisomaltose, or Low-dose ferric derisomaltose. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This study will address whether intravenous (IV) iron repletion with a more intensive target will provide greater benefits in improving exercise capacity for patients with chronic heart failure and iron deficiency.
They plan to enroll about 114 people at Beijing. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
The Effects of Low-dose Versus High-dose Intravenous Iron Therapy With Ferric Derisomaltose in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure and Iron Deficiency: a Randomized, Open-label, Blind Endpoint Trial (IRONDOSE)
Interventions: High-dose ferric derisomaltose, Low-dose ferric derisomaltose
Primary outcome (registry wording): Change in peak VO2 (ml/min/kg)
