Why This Matters

Iron deficiency anemia is a common, treatable problem in children and young adults with Crohn’s disease. This trial is testing practical oral iron dosing strategies and collecting lab and microbiome data that could help guide safer, more effective iron treatment in this population.

Who Should Pay Attention

Pediatric and young-adult patients (ages 3–21) with Crohn’s disease and iron deficiency anemia, parents/caregivers, pediatric gastroenterologists, and researchers interested in iron therapy and the gut microbiome.

What To Know

This trial is recruiting at Weill Cornell Medicine and plans to enroll about 150 pediatric and young adult participants with biopsy-confirmed Crohn’s disease and iron deficiency anemia. It compares two specified oral-iron dosing strategies and a physician-directed arm, with laboratory outcomes tracked over time.

The protocol uses routine-care laboratory results and questionnaires and includes collection of gut bacteria information, suggesting exploratory microbiome-related analyses alongside iron biomarkers.

If you’re considering participation, the trial’s inclusion/exclusion criteria, dosing details by arm, and follow-up schedule (routine visits every 4–12 weeks, labs every ~6 months for some measures) are listed on the registry record; discuss specifics with the study team or your clinician.

Keep In Mind

This is a registered Phase 4 interventional trial on ClinicalTrials.gov that is currently recruiting at a single center (Weill Cornell Medicine). The record reports planned design, arms, and outcome measures but does not present results. Enrollment and conduct details should be confirmed with the study team.
