- The subject must have no clinically-significant abnormal findings on medical history, vital signs, physical examination, or clinical laboratory results during Screening.
- The subject must have a body mass index (BMI) of ≤32.0 kg/m2 at Screening and weigh >60.0 kg.
Exclusion Criteria:
A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- The subject has a hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration <13.0 g/dL for men or <12 g/dL for women during Screening.
- The subject has a total iron binding capacity (TIBC) <250 µg/dL during Screening.
- The subject has had administration of IV or oral iron supplements (including multivitamins with iron) within 14 days prior to Baseline.
- Subject has concurrent or recurrent disease (e.g., cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, malignant, etc.) that could affect the action or disposition of the investigational product utilized in this study, or could affect clinical or laboratory assessments.
- Subject has a C-reactive protein level (CRP) >5 mg/L during Screening, or any rheumatic or autoimmune disease that requires systemic anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory therapy.
- Subject has an acute illness within 14 days prior to Baseline.
- Subject has known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to iron-containing products.
- Subject has a history of alcohol or substance abuse within the past year.
- Subject has a positive screen for cotinine or drugs of abuse.

Experimental
Experimental
Treatment Period: 6 mg Triferic IV over 3 hours
Treatment Period: 35 micrograms/kg IV push
Each subject will receive a single 6 mg dose of Triferic administered as a continuous intravenous infusion over 3 hours on Day 2. The Triferic IV dosing solution will have been prepared by diluting Triferic from ampules (5.44 mg/mL) in an appropriate amount of D5W to a concentration of 0.020 mg/mL. Administration of 300 mL IV at 100 mL/hr for 3 hours results in delivery of 6 mg of Triferic iron.
Each subject will receive Triferic as 35 µg/kg body weight IV push over 30-60 seconds on Day 3. The Triferic IV push dosing solution will have been prepared by diluting Triferic from ampules (5.44 mg/mL) in an appropriate amount of D5W to a concentration of 35 µg Triferic iron/kg body weight per subject in 4.5 mL.
