Shield Therapeutics' AccruFeR got additional approval from the Food and Drug Administration to treat iron deficiency.

The prescription oral iron treatment was approved for children 10 and older, Shield said Tuesday, after receiving approval for adults in 2019.

Iron deficiency affects about 2.4 million children in the U.S., with adolescents at particularly high risk, the London-based biopharmaceutical company said.

AccruFeR is a novel, stable, non-salt-based oral therapy. It has a novel mechanism of absorption compared with other oral iron therapies and has been shown to be well-tolerated in clinical trials.
