Active Comparator
Ferumoxytol
Oral Iron
Participants will receive 1 of the following 2 ferumoxytol dose regimens: Four IV injections of ferumoxytol 3.5 mg Fe/kg (maximum of 255 mg/dose) administered on nonconsecutive days within a 14-day period as follows: Day 1 (dose 1), Days 3* through 10 (dose 2), Days 5 through 12 (dose 3), and Days 7 through 14 (dose 4). *Participants participating in PK sampling received the second dose on Day 4 after the 72-hour PK sample was collected. Two IV injections of ferumoxytol 7.0 mg Fe/kg (maximum of 510 mg/dose), the first administered on Day 1 and the second on Days 3 through 9.
Participants will receive oral iron: 2.5 mg Fe/kg twice daily (maximum of 100 mg/dose) on Days 1 through 35.
