Study to Assess Feasibility and Safety of Iron Repletion With Feraheme in Iron Deficient Patients With Durable Ventricular Assist Device Support

Summary

Ferumoxytol injection (Feraheme®) is a parenteral form of iron supplementation that is FDA-approved for treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Ferumoxytol injection achieves iron repletion in fewer doses (2) when compared with other available injectable iron formulations (5-6) available at NYU Langone Health, and thus may be useful to reduce travel burden and expedite full iron repletion in patients with iron deficiency. Iron-deficiency anemia is common in patients after placement of a ventricular assist device (VAD) for treatment of end-stage heart disease. This is a pilot study to test the feasibility of iron repletion with ferumoxytol injection in 20 eligible subjects with laboratory evidence of iron deficiency after placement of a VAD.
