The purpose of the trial is to demonstrate that intravenous iron oligosaccharide is non-inferior to oral iron sulphate in reducing iron deficiency anaemia secondary to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), evaluated as the ability to increase haemoglobin (Hb).

Inclusion Criteria

1. Men and women, aged more than 18 years.

2. Subjects diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and mild to moderate disease activity (defined as a score of less than or equal to 5 on the Harvey-Bradshaw index for Crohn's disease and a Mayo score (subscore without endoscopy) of less than or equal to 6 for ulcerative colitis).

3. Hb <12.0 g/dL (7.45 mmol/L).

4. Transferrin saturation (TfS) <20 %.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Anaemia predominantly caused by other factors than iron deficiency anaemia.

2. Iron overload or disturbances in utilisation of iron (e.g. haemochromatosis and haemosiderosis).

3. Drug hypersensitivity (i.e. previous hypersensitivity to Iron Dextran or iron mono- or disaccharide complexes or to iron sulphate).

4. Known hypersensitivity to any excipients in the investigational drug products.

5. Subjects with a history of multiple allergies.

6. Active Intestinal Tuberculosis.

7. Active Intestinal amoebic infections.

8. Decompensated liver cirrhosis and hepatitis (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 times upper limit normal).

9. Acute infections (assessed by clinical judgement), supplied with white blood cells (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP)).

10. Rheumatoid arthritis with symptoms or signs of active joint inflammation.

11. Pregnancy and nursing

12. Extensive active bleeding necessitating blood transfusion.

13. Planned elective surgery during the study.

14. Participation in any other clinical study within 3 months prior to screening.

15. Intolerance to oral iron treatment.

16. Untreated B12 or folate deficiency.

17. Other I.V. or oral iron treatment or blood transfusion within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.

18. Erythropoetin treatment within 8 weeks prior to screening visit.

19. Diagnosis of Hepatitis B and/or C, confirmed by appropriate lab test.

20. Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of Investigator, may cause the patient to be unsuitable for the completion of the study or place the patient at potential risk from being in the study. Example, Uncontrolled Hypertension, Unstable Ischemic Heart Disease or Uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus.

21. History of immunocompromise, including positive HIV test result
