  • No clinically significant findings on physical exam, medical history, or screening laboratories.
  • Serum ferritin greater than 500 ng/mL, serum creatine creatinine within the normal range and platelet count greater than 100,000/mm3.
  • Willing and able to discontinue DFO or L1 for the period of study.
  • Woman of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and use a medically acceptable form of birth control during the study and for 1 month afterward. Male patients must also use barrier contraceptives during the study and for 1 month afterward.
