Male or female subjects 1 to 17 years of age with assent to participation and his/her parent or guardian is willing and able to sign the informed consent approved by the Independent Review Board / Ethics Committee. 2. Screening TSAT < 20% 3. Screening Hemoglobin < 11 g/dL 4. For subjects who are receiving a erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA): stable ESA therapy (+/- 20% of current dose) for > 8 weeks prior to the qualifying screening visit and no ESA dosing or product changes anticipated for the length of the trial. |

Subject previously randomized and treated in this study or any other clinical study of Ferric Carboxymaltose (FCM, VIT-45). 3. Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 5th percentile for age (see APPENDIX 2) 4. Male or Female subject 1 year of age weighing < 12kg. 5. History of acquired iron overload, hemochromatosis or other iron accumulation disorders. 6. Chronic kidney disease subjects on hemodialysis. 7. Screening Ferritin level > 300 ng/mL. 8. Subjects with significant severe diseases of the liver, hemopoietic system, cardiovascular system, psychiatric disorder or other conditions which on the opinion of the investigator may place a subject at added risk. 9.

Intravenous iron and /or blood transfusion in the 4 weeks prior to screening. 14. Immunosuppressive therapy that may lead to anemia (i.e. cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil). Note steroid therapy is permitted. 15. Administration and / or use of an investigational product (drug or device) within 30 days of screening. 16.

Female subject who are pregnant or lactating, or sexually active female who are of childbearing potential not willing to use an acceptable form of contraceptive precautions during the study. 18. Subject is unable to comply with study assessments. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Clinical endpoints include: - Efficacy: change from baseline to each scheduled visit for hemoglobin, ferritin, and TSAT. - Safety: - Proportion of subjects reporting treatment-emergent adverse events, overall and related, by SOC and preferred term - Subjects reporting treatment-emergent serious adverse events, overall and related, will be identified The primary and secondary pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined for each subject as appropriate, based on serum concentration. - Mean change from baseline to each scheduled visit for clinical laboratory values - Incidence of treatment-emergent potentially clinically significant (PCS) clinical laboratory values - Incidence of treatment-emergent PCS vital sign values. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Blood samples for PK/PD will be assessed immediately prior to Ferric Carboxymaltose dosing on Day 0, at 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours and at 72 hours. Safety assessments, including vital signs and adverse events, will be assessed starting on Day 0 at the time of Ferric Carboxymaltose dosing through Day 35. |
