Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of FCM in patients with anemia who are not dialysis dependent.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Subjects ≥ 18 years of age and able to give informed consent
  • Iron deficiency is the primary etiology of anemia
  • Screening Visit central laboratory Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≤ 11g/dL

  • Requires dialysis for treatment of chronic kidney disease
  • Current anemia not attributed to iron deficiency
  • Received IV iron, RBC transfusion(s), or antibiotics 10 days prior and during the screening phase
  • Anticipated need for surgery
