Study Design Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial Non-CTIMP: routine care interventions 84 participants / 4 sites Three arms: • Treatment as usual • Stop oral iron treatment • Stop oral iron and give IV iron (as per local formulary). 5 SIV V1 09/08/2018
Key Outcomes The co-primary outcomes are: 1) the rate of randomisation per month across the pilot sites 2) the proportion recruited from each route of recruitment • how long it takes to recruit enough people to the study • which method(s) of recruitment (clinic, adverts or GP letters) is/are most efficient • Improvement in haemoglobin level (a measure of anaemia) in each treatment arm 6 SIV V1 09/08/2018
Secondary Outcomes 1) change in haemoglobin and ferritin levels at 3 months 2) number of eligible patients per site 3) proportion of eligible patients agreeing to take part and passing screening 4) feasibility of collecting primary (physical functioning and health- related and general quality of life) and secondary outcomes for main trial 7 SIV V1 09/08/2018
