Clinical Trial Summary

Because patients with beta-thalassemia are unable to actively eliminate iron from the body, toxic and eventually lethal levels of iron can accumulate as a result of repeated blood transfusions. This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of deferasirox.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Liver Iron Concentration (as measured by biopsy) at baseline and after 1 yeor of ICL670 treatment
Secondary Iron balance, i.e. Total Body Iron Excretion (based on the iron influx as determined by the amount of red cells transfused and the change in total body iron (TBI) stores) after 1 year of ICL670 treatment
Secondary Putative surrogate markers such as serum ferritin serum iron, serum transferrin and transferrin saturation monthly assessments for 1 year
Secondary Adverse events during 1 year ICL670 treatment
Secondary hematology and biochemistry, urinalysis monthly assessments for 1 year ICL670 treatment
Secondary ECG and Echocardiography 6-monthly for 1 year ICL670 treatment
