Fatigue-related symptoms and impacts were assessed with FACIT-Fatigue1,3*

In a 5-week study, patients treated with FERAHEME reported greater improvement from baseline in fatigue score than patients in the placebo arm1,3

EXTENSION TRIAL
Duration of response in a 6-month extension trial4

For 61% of patients who were treated with FERAHEME in IDA Trial 1, mean Hgb remained stable throughout the extension study without further treatment4

Monthly Hgb levels following a single course of FERAHEME5

Bars represent 95% CI; Month 1 refers to both IDA Trial 1 endpoint (Week 5) and the extension study baseline.

61% of FERAHEME-treated patients

did not require a second course of treatment over the 6-month study period2

Select Important Safety Information: FERAHEME may cause clinically significant hypotension. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hypotension following each FERAHEME administration.

CI=confidence interval; FACIT=Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy; Hgb=hemoglobin; IDA=iron deficiency anemia; SD=standard deviation.
