Further study details as provided by Watson Pharmaceuticals:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Demonstrate and compare effectiveness of two Ferrlecit® doses in increasing hemoglobin in iron-deficient pediatric hemodialysis patients requiring repletion iron therapy. [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluate single-dose pharmacokinetics of Ferrlecit® in iron deficient pediatric hemodialysis patients and to access the safety profile of Ferrlecit® in pediatric hemodialysis patients. [ Time Frame: 48 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 59
Study Start Date: June 2003
Primary Completion Date: October 2003 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
