Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of deferasirox on renal hemodynamics by determining glomerular filtration rate (GFR), renal plasma flow (RPF) and filtration fraction (FF).
In this 4-year extension study the safety, efficacy and and pharmacokinetics of deferasirox in regularly transfused pediatric patients with β-thalassemia major was assessed. Patients who successfully completed the main 1 year trial (NCT00390858) were eligible to continue in this extension trial and receive chelation therapy with deferasirox for up to 4 years.
A 1-year randomized Phase IIa core trial followed by a prolongation of 5 to 9 months was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of deferasirox in patients aged ≥ 18 years with transfusion-dependent iron overload. The objective of this extension study is to assess the long-term safety of deferasirox and to provide treatment in patients with transfusional iron overload.
