Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is a common problem associated with many chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). IDA can have a substantial medical and quality of life (QoL) burden on the subjects. Therapy of these subjects includes treating the underlying cause of IDA and restoring haemoglobin (Hb) concentration and iron stores.~This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose compared with iron sucrose in subjects with both non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (NDD-CKD) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA).~The study subjects received either a single intravenous (IV) dose of iron isomaltoside/ferric derisomaltose (1000 mg at baseline) or iron sucrose (200 mg IV injections at baseline and repeated according to standard practice or physician choice up to a maximum of five times within the first two weeks starting at baseline; a cumulative dose of 1000 mg was recommended). The study subjects were monitored for up to 8 weeks from baseline.
