8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category B

Pregnancy Category B

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) sucrose was administered intravenously to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 13 mg/kg/day of elemental Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) (half or equivalent to the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area, respectively) and revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) sucrose. Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

8.3 Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) sucrose is excreted in human milk. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) sucrose is secreted into the milk of lactating rats. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) is administered to a nursing woman.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) replacement treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD have not been established.

Safety and effectiveness of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD receiving erythropoietin therapy were studied. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) at doses of 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg was administered. All three doses maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL in about 50% of subjects over the 12-week treatment period with stable EPO dosing. [See Clinical Studies (14.6)]

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) has not been studied in patients younger than 2 years of age.

In a country where Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) is available for use in children, at a single site, five premature infants (weight less than 1,250 g) developed necrotizing enterocolitis and two of the five died during or following a period when they received Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)), several other medications and erythropoietin. Necrotizing enterocolitis may be a complication of prematurity in very low birth weight infants. No causal relationship to Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) or any other drugs could be established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Of the 1,051 patients in two post-marketing safety studies of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)), 40% were 65 years and older. No overall differences in safety were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. In general, dose administration to an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

In healthy adults administered intravenous doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ), its Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) component exhibited first order kinetics with an elimination half-life of 6 h, total clearance of 1.2 L/h, and steady state apparent volume of distribution of 7.9 L. The Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) component appeared to distribute mainly in blood and to some extent in extravascular fluid. A study evaluating Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) containing 100 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) labeled with 52Fe/59Fe in patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) deficiency showed that a significant amount of the administered Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) is distributed to the liver, spleen and bone marrow and that the bone marrow is an irreversible Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) trapping compartment.

Following intravenous administration of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)), Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) sucrose is dissociated into Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) and sucrose. The sucrose component is eliminated mainly by urinary excretion. In a study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) containing 1,510 mg of sucrose and 100 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) in 12 healthy adults (9 female, 3 male: age range 32 to 52), 68.3% of the sucrose was eliminated in urine in 4 h and 75.4% in 24 h. Some Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) was also eliminated in the urine. Neither transferrin nor transferrin receptor levels changed immediately after the dose administration. In this study and another study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) sucrose containing 500 to 700 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) in 26 patients with anemia on erythropoietin therapy (23 female, 3 male; age range 16 to 60), approximately 5% of the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) was eliminated in urine in 24 h at each dose level. The effects of age and gender on the pharmacokinetics of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) have not been studied.

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients

In a single-dose PK study of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)), patients with NDD-CDK ages 12 to 16 (N=11) received intravenous bolus doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) at 7 mg/kg (maximum 200 mg) administered over 5 minutes. Following single dose Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)), the half-life of total serum Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) was 8 hours. The mean Cmax and AUC values were 8545 μg/dl and 31305 hr-μg/dL, respectively, which were 1.42- and 1.67-fold higher than dose adjusted adult Cmax and AUC values.

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) is not dialyzable through CA210 (Baxter) High Efficiency or Fresenius F80A High Flux dialysis membranes. In in vitro studies, the amount of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) sucrose in the dialysate fluid was below the levels of detection of the assay (less than 2 parts per million).

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

Five clinical trials involving 647 adult patients and one clinical trial involving 131 pediatric patients were conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ).

14.1 Study A: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease (HDD–CKD)

Study A was a multicenter, open-label, historically-controlled study in 101 patients with HDD-CKD (77 patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) treatment and 24 in the historical control group) with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) deficiency anemia. Eligibility criteria for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) treatment included patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, receiving erythropoietin, hemoglobin level between 8.0 and 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation < 20%, and serum ferritin < 300 ng/mL. The mean age of the patients was 65 years with the age range of 31 to 85 years. Of the 77 patients, 44 (57%) were male and 33 (43%) were female.

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) 100 mg was administered at 10 consecutive dialysis sessions either as slow injection or a slow infusion. The historical control population consisted of 24 patients with similar ferritin levels as patients treated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)), who were off intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) for at least 2 weeks and who had received erythropoietin therapy with hematocrit averaging 31 to 36 for at least two months prior to study entry. The mean age of patients in the historical control group was 56 years, with an age range of 29 to 80 years. Patient age and serum ferritin level were similar between treatment and historical control patients.

Patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) treated population showed a greater increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit than did patients in the historical control population. See Table 2.

Transferrin saturation also increased at endpoint of study from baseline in the Venofer-treated population (8.8 ± 1.6%) compared to this historical control population (-5.1 ± 4.3%).

14.2 Study B: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study B was a multicenter, open label study of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) in 23 patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) deficiency and HDD-CKD who had been discontinued from Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) dextran due to intolerance. Eligibility criteria were otherwise identical to Study A. The mean age of the patients in this study was 53 years, with ages ranging from 21 to 79 years. Of the 23 patients enrolled in the study, 10 (44%) were male and 13 (56%) were female.

All 23 enrolled patients were evaluated for efficacy. Increases in mean hemoglobin (1.1 ± 0.2 g/dL), hematocrit (3.6 ± 0.6%), serum ferritin (266.3 ± 30.3 ng/mL) and transferrin saturation (8.7 ± 2.0%) were observed from baseline to end of treatment.

14.3 Study C: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study C was a multicenter, open-label study in patients with HDD-CKD. This study enrolled patients with a hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL, a serum transferrin saturation ≤ 20%, and a serum ferritin ≤ 200 ng/mL, who were undergoing maintenance hemodialysis 2 to 3 times weekly. The mean age of the patients enrolled in this study was 41 years, with ages ranging from 16 to 70 years. Of 130 patients evaluated for efficacy in this study, 68 (52%) were male and 62 (48%) were female. Forty-eight percent of the patients had previously been treated with oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)). Exclusion criteria were similar to those in studies A and B. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) was administered in doses of 100 mg during sequential dialysis sessions until a pre-determined (calculated) total dose of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) was administered. A 50 mg dose (2.5 mL) was given to patients within two weeks of study entry as a test dose. Twenty-seven patients (20%) were receiving erythropoietin treatment at study entry and they continued to receive the same erythropoietin dose for the duration of the study.

The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population consisted of 131 patients. Increases from baseline in mean hemoglobin (1.7 g/dL), hematocrit (5%), serum ferritin (434.6 ng/mL), and serum transferrin saturation (14%) were observed at week 2 of the observation period and these values remained increased at week 4 of the observation period.

14.4 Study D: Non-Dialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study D was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) versus Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) in patients with NDD-CKD with or without erythropoietin therapy. Erythropoietin therapy was stable for 8 weeks prior to randomization. In the study 188 patients with NDD-CKD, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 300 ng/mL were randomized to receive oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) (325 mg ferrous sulfate three times daily for 56 days); or Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) (either 200 mg over 2 to 5 minutes 5 times within 14 days or two 500 mg infusions on Day 1 and Day 14, administered over 3.5 to 4 hours). The mean age of the 91 treated patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) group was 61.6 years (range 25 to 86 years) and 64 years (range 21 to 86 years) for the 91 patients in the oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) group.

A statistically significantly greater proportion of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) subjects (35/79; 44.3%) compared to oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) subjects (23/82; 28%) had an increase in hemoglobin ≥ 1 g/dL at anytime during the study (p = 0.03).

14.5 Study E: Peritoneal Dialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study E was a randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin and intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) to patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin alone without Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) supplementation. Patients with PDD-CKD, stable erythropoietin for 8 weeks, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.5 g/dL, TSAT ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 500 ng/mL were randomized to receive either no Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) or Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) (300 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 1.5 hours on Day 1 and 15 and 400 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 2.5 hours on Day 29). The mean age of the 75 treated patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) / erythropoietin group was 51.9 years (range 21 to 81 years) vs. 52.8 years (range 23 to 77 years) for 46 patients in the erythropoietin alone group.

Patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) / erythropoietin group had statistically significantly greater mean change from baseline to the highest hemoglobin value (1.3 g/dL), compared to subjects who received erythropoietin alone (0.6 g/dL) (p < 0.01). A greater proportion of subjects treated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) / erythropoietin (59.1 %) had an increase in hemoglobin of ≥ 1 g/dL at any time during the study compared to the subjects who received erythropoietin only (33.3%).

14.6 Study F: Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) Maintenance Treatment Dosing in Pediatric Patients Ages 2 years and Older with Chronic Kidney Disease

Study F was a randomized, open-label, dose-ranging study for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD on stable erythropoietin therapy. The study randomized patients to one of three doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) (0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/kg). The mean age was 13 years (range 2 to 20 years). Over 70% of patients were 12 years or older in all three groups. There were 84 males and 61 females. About 60% of patients underwent hemodialysis and 25% underwent peritoneal dialysis in all three dose groups. At baseline, the mean hemoglobin was 12 g/dL, the mean TSAT was 33% and the mean ferritin was 300 ng/mL. Patients with HDD-CKD received Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) once every other week for 6 doses. Patients with PDD-CKD or NDD-CKD received Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) once every 4 weeks for 3 doses. Among 131 evaluable patients with stable erythropoietin dosing, the proportion of patients who maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL during the 12-week treatment period was 58.7%, 46.7%, and 45.0% in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferricoferrous Sodium-Diketogulonic Acid Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg groups, respectively. A dose-response relationship was not demonstrated.

Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylactic-type reactions, some of which have been life-threatening and fatal, have been reported in patients receiving Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)). Patients may present with shock, clinically significant hypotension, loss of consciousness, and/or collapse. If hypersensitivity reactions or signs of intolerance occur during administration, stop Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) immediately. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity during and after Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) administration for at least 30 minutes and until clinically stable following completion of the infusion. Only administer Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) when personnel and therapies are immediately available for the treatment of serious hypersensitivity reactions. Most reactions associated with intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) preparations occur within 30 minutes of the completion of the infusion .

5.2 Hypotension

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) may cause clinically significant hypotension. Monitor for signs and symptoms of hypotension following each administration of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)). Hypotension following administration of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) may be related to the rate of administration and/or total dose administered .

5.3 Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) Overload

Excessive therapy with parenteral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) can lead to excess storage of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) with the possibility of iatrogenic hemosiderosis. All adult and pediatric patients receiving Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) require periodic monitoring of hematologic and Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) parameters (hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum ferritin and transferrin saturation). Do not administer Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) to patients with evidence of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) overload. Transferrin saturation (TSAT) values increase rapidly after intravenous administration of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose; do not perform serum Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) measurements for at least 48 hours after intravenous dosing .

One hundred thirty (11%) of the 1,151 patients evaluated in the 4 U.S. trials in HDD-CKD patients (studies A, B and the two post marketing studies) had prior other intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) therapy and were reported to be intolerant (defined as precluding further use of that Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) product). When these patients were treated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) there were no occurrences of adverse reactions that precluded further use of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) .

Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients with CKD (ages 2 years and older)

Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Patients with CKD (ages 2 years and older)

In a randomized, open-label, dose-ranging trial for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) maintenance treatment with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in pediatric patients with CKD on stable erythropoietin therapy , at least one treatment-emergent adverse reaction was experienced by 57% (27/47) of the patients receiving Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg, 53% (25/47) of the patients receiving Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 1.0 mg/kg, and 55% (26/47) of the patients receiving Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 2.0 mg/kg.

A total of 5 (11%) subjects in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg group, 10 (21%) patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 1.0 mg/kg group, and 10 (21%) patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 2.0 mg/kg group experienced at least 1 serious adverse reaction during the study. The most common treatment-emergent adverse reactions (> 2% of patients) in all patients were headache (6%), respiratory tract viral infection (4%), peritonitis (4%), vomiting (4%), pyrexia (4%), dizziness (4%), cough (4%), renal transplant (4%), nausea (3%), arteriovenous fistula thrombosis (2%), hypotension (2%), and hypertension (2.1%).

6.2 Adverse Reactions from Post-Marketing Experience

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

In the post-marketing safety studies in 1,051 treated patients with HDD-CKD, the adverse reactions reported by > 1% were: cardiac failure congestive, sepsis and dysgeusia.

The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)). Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure: Anaphylactic-type reactions, shock, loss of consciousness, collapse, bronchospasm, dyspnea, convulsions, light-headedness, confusion, angioedema, swelling of the joints, hyperhidrosis, back pain, bradycardia, and chromaturia.

Symptoms associated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) total dosage or infusing too rapidly included hypotension, dyspnea, headache, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, joint aches, paresthesia, abdominal and muscle pain, edema, and cardiovascular collapse. These adverse reactions have occurred up to 30 minutes after the administration of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) injection. Reactions have occurred following the first dose or subsequent doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)). Symptoms may respond to intravenous fluids, hydrocortisone, and/or antihistamines. Slowing the infusion rate may alleviate symptoms.

Injection site discoloration has been reported following extravasation. Assure stable intravenous access to avoid extravasation.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

Drug interactions involving Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) have not been studied. However, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) may reduce the absorption of concomitantly administered oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) preparations.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy

Pregnancy Category B

Pregnancy Category B

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. In animal reproduction studies, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) sucrose was administered intravenously to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 13 mg/kg/day of elemental Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (half or equivalent to the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area, respectively) and revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus due to Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose. Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

8.3 Nursing Mothers

It is not known whether Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose is excreted in human milk. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose is secreted into the milk of lactating rats. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is administered to a nursing woman.

8.4 Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) replacement treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD have not been established.

Safety and effectiveness of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD receiving erythropoietin therapy were studied. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) at doses of 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg was administered. All three doses maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL in about 50% of subjects over the 12-week treatment period with stable EPO dosing. [See Clinical Studies (14.6)]

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) has not been studied in patients younger than 2 years of age.

In a country where Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is available for use in children, at a single site, five premature infants (weight less than 1,250 g) developed necrotizing enterocolitis and two of the five died during or following a period when they received Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), several other medications and erythropoietin. Necrotizing enterocolitis may be a complication of prematurity in very low birth weight infants. No causal relationship to Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) or any other drugs could be established.

8.5 Geriatric Use

Clinical studies of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Of the 1,051 patients in two post-marketing safety studies of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), 40% were 65 years and older. No overall differences in safety were observed between these subjects and younger subjects, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. In general, dose administration to an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

10 OVERDOSAGE

No data are available regarding overdosage of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in humans. Excessive dosages of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) may lead to accumulation of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in storage sites potentially leading to hemosiderosis. Do not administer Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) to patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) overload.

Toxicities in single-dose studies in mice and rats, at intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose doses up to 8 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area, included sedation, hypoactivity, pale eyes, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract and lungs, and mortality.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1 Mechanism of Action

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) is an aqueous complex of poly-nuclear Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (III)-hydroxide in sucrose. Following intravenous administration, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is dissociated into Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) and sucrose and the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is transported as a complex with transferrin to target cells including erythroid precursor cells. The Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in the precursor cells is incorporated into hemoglobin as the cells mature into red blood cells.

12.2 Pharmacodynamics

Following intravenous administration, Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is dissociated into Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) and sucrose. In 22 patients undergoing hemodialysis and receiving erythropoietin (recombinant human erythropoietin) therapy treated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose containing 100 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), three times weekly for three weeks, significant increases in serum Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) and serum ferritin and significant decreases in total Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) binding capacity occurred four weeks from the initiation of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose treatment.

12.3 Pharmacokinetics

In healthy adults administered intravenous doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ), its Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) component exhibited first order kinetics with an elimination half-life of 6 h, total clearance of 1.2 L/h, and steady state apparent volume of distribution of 7.9 L. The Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) component appeared to distribute mainly in blood and to some extent in extravascular fluid. A study evaluating Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) containing 100 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) labeled with 52Fe/59Fe in patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) deficiency showed that a significant amount of the administered Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is distributed to the liver, spleen and bone marrow and that the bone marrow is an irreversible Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) trapping compartment.

Following intravenous administration of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose is dissociated into Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) and sucrose. The sucrose component is eliminated mainly by urinary excretion. In a study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) containing 1,510 mg of sucrose and 100 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in 12 healthy adults (9 female, 3 male: age range 32 to 52), 68.3% of the sucrose was eliminated in urine in 4 h and 75.4% in 24 h. Some Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) was also eliminated in the urine. Neither transferrin nor transferrin receptor levels changed immediately after the dose administration. In this study and another study evaluating a single intravenous dose of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose containing 500 to 700 mg of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in 26 patients with anemia on erythropoietin therapy (23 female, 3 male; age range 16 to 60), approximately 5% of the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) was eliminated in urine in 24 h at each dose level. The effects of age and gender on the pharmacokinetics of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) have not been studied.

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients

In a single-dose PK study of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), patients with NDD-CDK ages 12 to 16 (N=11) received intravenous bolus doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) at 7 mg/kg (maximum 200 mg) administered over 5 minutes. Following single dose Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), the half-life of total serum Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) was 8 hours. The mean Cmax and AUC values were 8545 μg/dl and 31305 hr-μg/dL, respectively, which were 1.42- and 1.67-fold higher than dose adjusted adult Cmax and AUC values.

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) is not dialyzable through CA210 (Baxter) High Efficiency or Fresenius F80A High Flux dialysis membranes. In in vitro studies, the amount of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose in the dialysate fluid was below the levels of detection of the assay (less than 2 parts per million).

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY

13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility

Carcinogenicity studies have not been performed with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose.

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose was not mutagenic in vitro in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) or the mouse lymphoma assay. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosome aberration assay using human lymphocytes or in the in vivo mouse micronucleus assay.

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) sucrose at intravenous doses up to 15 mg/kg/day of elemental Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (1.2 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area) had no effect on fertility and reproductive function of male and female rats.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES

Five clinical trials involving 647 adult patients and one clinical trial involving 131 pediatric patients were conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ).

14.1 Study A: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease (HDD–CKD)

Study A was a multicenter, open-label, historically-controlled study in 101 patients with HDD-CKD (77 patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) treatment and 24 in the historical control group) with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) deficiency anemia. Eligibility criteria for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) treatment included patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis, receiving erythropoietin, hemoglobin level between 8.0 and 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation < 20%, and serum ferritin < 300 ng/mL. The mean age of the patients was 65 years with the age range of 31 to 85 years. Of the 77 patients, 44 (57%) were male and 33 (43%) were female.

Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 100 mg was administered at 10 consecutive dialysis sessions either as slow injection or a slow infusion. The historical control population consisted of 24 patients with similar ferritin levels as patients treated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)), who were off intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) for at least 2 weeks and who had received erythropoietin therapy with hematocrit averaging 31 to 36 for at least two months prior to study entry. The mean age of patients in the historical control group was 56 years, with an age range of 29 to 80 years. Patient age and serum ferritin level were similar between treatment and historical control patients.

Patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) treated population showed a greater increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit than did patients in the historical control population. See Table 2.

14.2 Study B: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study B was a multicenter, open label study of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in 23 patients with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) deficiency and HDD-CKD who had been discontinued from Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) dextran due to intolerance. Eligibility criteria were otherwise identical to Study A. The mean age of the patients in this study was 53 years, with ages ranging from 21 to 79 years. Of the 23 patients enrolled in the study, 10 (44%) were male and 13 (56%) were female.

All 23 enrolled patients were evaluated for efficacy. Increases in mean hemoglobin (1.1 ± 0.2 g/dL), hematocrit (3.6 ± 0.6%), serum ferritin (266.3 ± 30.3 ng/mL) and transferrin saturation (8.7 ± 2.0%) were observed from baseline to end of treatment.

14.3 Study C: Hemodialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study C was a multicenter, open-label study in patients with HDD-CKD. This study enrolled patients with a hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL, a serum transferrin saturation ≤ 20%, and a serum ferritin ≤ 200 ng/mL, who were undergoing maintenance hemodialysis 2 to 3 times weekly. The mean age of the patients enrolled in this study was 41 years, with ages ranging from 16 to 70 years. Of 130 patients evaluated for efficacy in this study, 68 (52%) were male and 62 (48%) were female. Forty-eight percent of the patients had previously been treated with oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)). Exclusion criteria were similar to those in studies A and B. Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) was administered in doses of 100 mg during sequential dialysis sessions until a pre-determined (calculated) total dose of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) was administered. A 50 mg dose (2.5 mL) was given to patients within two weeks of study entry as a test dose. Twenty-seven patients (20%) were receiving erythropoietin treatment at study entry and they continued to receive the same erythropoietin dose for the duration of the study.

The modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population consisted of 131 patients. Increases from baseline in mean hemoglobin (1.7 g/dL), hematocrit (5%), serum ferritin (434.6 ng/mL), and serum transferrin saturation (14%) were observed at week 2 of the observation period and these values remained increased at week 4 of the observation period.

14.4 Study D: Non-Dialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study D was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, active-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) versus Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) in patients with NDD-CKD with or without erythropoietin therapy. Erythropoietin therapy was stable for 8 weeks prior to randomization. In the study 188 patients with NDD-CKD, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.0 g/dL, transferrin saturation ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 300 ng/mL were randomized to receive oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (325 mg ferrous sulfate three times daily for 56 days); or Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (either 200 mg over 2 to 5 minutes 5 times within 14 days or two 500 mg infusions on Day 1 and Day 14, administered over 3.5 to 4 hours). The mean age of the 91 treated patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) group was 61.6 years (range 25 to 86 years) and 64 years (range 21 to 86 years) for the 91 patients in the oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) group.

A statistically significantly greater proportion of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) subjects (35/79; 44.3%) compared to oral Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) subjects (23/82; 28%) had an increase in hemoglobin ≥ 1 g/dL at anytime during the study (p = 0.03).

14.5 Study E: Peritoneal Dialysis Dependent-Chronic Kidney Disease

Study E was a randomized, open-label, multicenter study comparing patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin and intravenous Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) to patients with PDD-CKD receiving an erythropoietin alone without Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) supplementation. Patients with PDD-CKD, stable erythropoietin for 8 weeks, hemoglobin of ≤ 11.5 g/dL, TSAT ≤ 25%, ferritin ≤ 500 ng/mL were randomized to receive either no Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) or Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (300 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 1.5 hours on Day 1 and 15 and 400 mg in 250 mL 0.9% NaCl over 2.5 hours on Day 29). The mean age of the 75 treated patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) / erythropoietin group was 51.9 years (range 21 to 81 years) vs. 52.8 years (range 23 to 77 years) for 46 patients in the erythropoietin alone group.

Patients in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) / erythropoietin group had statistically significantly greater mean change from baseline to the highest hemoglobin value (1.3 g/dL), compared to subjects who received erythropoietin alone (0.6 g/dL) (p < 0.01). A greater proportion of subjects treated with Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) / erythropoietin (59.1 %) had an increase in hemoglobin of ≥ 1 g/dL at any time during the study compared to the subjects who received erythropoietin only (33.3%).

14.6 Study F: Oxyferriscorbone Sodique ) Maintenance Treatment Dosing in Pediatric Patients Ages 2 years and Older with Chronic Kidney Disease

Study F was a randomized, open-label, dose-ranging study for Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) maintenance treatment in pediatric patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD on stable erythropoietin therapy. The study randomized patients to one of three doses of Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) (0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/kg). The mean age was 13 years (range 2 to 20 years). Over 70% of patients were 12 years or older in all three groups. There were 84 males and 61 females. About 60% of patients underwent hemodialysis and 25% underwent peritoneal dialysis in all three dose groups. At baseline, the mean hemoglobin was 12 g/dL, the mean TSAT was 33% and the mean ferritin was 300 ng/mL. Patients with HDD-CKD received Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) once every other week for 6 doses. Patients with PDD-CKD or NDD-CKD received Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) once every 4 weeks for 3 doses. Among 131 evaluable patients with stable erythropoietin dosing, the proportion of patients who maintained hemoglobin between 10.5 g/dL and 14.0 g/dL during the 12-week treatment period was 58.7%, 46.7%, and 45.0% in the Oxyferriscorbone Sodique (Iron (Ferrous Sodium-Alloxanic Acid Complex)) 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, and 2.0 mg/kg groups, respectively. A dose-response relationship was not demonstrated.
