Study Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare Injectafer® (ferric carboxymaltose) with an iron supplement to learn which may be more effective in improving red blood cell counts in patients who have iron-deficiency anemia (a low red blood cell count) because of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and/or systemic therapy. The safety of ferric carboxymaltose will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Ferric carboxymaltose is FDA approved and commercially available to treat iron deficiency anemia; however, it is considered investigational to use in patients who have cancer-related or systemic therapy-related anemia. Up to 50 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
Primary Outcome
The primary endpoint is response (CR rate) in HGB within 3 months. Participant considered as to have a complete response (CR) if his/her HGB level increases \> 2 g/dL from baseline during 3 months following initiation of the study drug, and/or transfusion-dependent patient is transfusion free.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Questionnaire
- DRUG Ferric Carboxymaltose
- DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT Iron Supplements
