Study information

Study designIntervention study with only one subject group.
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designSingle-centre
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeTreatment
Scientific title
Study acronymISOPFe
Study objectivesSerum non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) and plasma isoprostanes will be significantly increased in samples collected immediately following 200 mg FeSO4 (65 mg iron) daily for 28 days, compared with before treatment, and compared with a control group who will not receive iron treatment.

Parametric tests (paired Student's t-test and one-way Analysis Of Variance [ANOVA]) will be used to determine the change in serum NTBI, plasma F2-isoprostanes and haemoglobin from visit one (baseline) to visit two within the treatment group, and the difference in the change in variables between the treatment group and control group, from visit one to visit two.
Ethics approval(s)Kings College London Research Ethics Committee will be looking at protocol on the 30th September 2006.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedIron deficiency anaemia
InterventionSubjects with iron deficiency anaemia will be recruited and will be randomly assigned to either a treatment (n = 15) or control group (n = 15). Subjects in the treatment group will receive 200 mg FeSO4 (65 mg iron) once daily for 28 days. Controls will NOT receive a placebo, but will be instructed not to change their diet/lifestyle habits over a period of 28 days. In these subjects, plasma isoprostanes and serum NTBI will be measured at the start of the start of the study, and 28 days after their allocation to the control group.

All subjects will be asked to complete a seven day estimated diet diary, starting on the day after their allocation to either the treatment or control group, in order to examine the relationship between dietary antioxidant intakes and isoprostane levels in all subjects.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Iron sulphate
Primary outcome measurePlasma isoprostane concentration after daily iron treatment for 28 days.
Secondary outcome measuresThe secondary outcome is serum NTBI. In addition to measuring the primary outcome (plasma isoprostanes) before and once after once daily ferrous sulphate treatment for 28 days, we will also measure serum NTBI before and once after daily ferrous sulphate treatment for 28 days in all subjects.
Overall study start date15/11/2006
Completion date15/07/2007
Reason abandoned (if study stopped)Lack of funding

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
Lower age limit18 Years

Target number of participants16
Key inclusion criteria1. Females aged 18 to 50 years
