Purpose
This is a clinical research study in patients who have iron overload in the heart due to chronic blood transfusions.
The study will have 2 treatment groups and will compare the safety and efficacy of chelation therapy with a medicine called deferasirox (ICL670) with another medicine called deferoxamine (DFO). The study is aimed at finding out which of the two medicines is the best for treating iron overload in the heart.
Patients will be treated for 12 months (core study phase). Patients who complete the core study phase will be offered to continue their study treatment in a 12 months extension phase. During the core and extension, the effects of treatment on iron overload in the heart and the liver will be evaluated using specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments.

| Official Title: | A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label Phase II Trial Evaluating Deferasirox Compared With Deferoxamine in Patients With Cardiac Iron Overload Due to Chronic Blood Transfusions |
- Relative change from baseline in myocardial T2* after 12 months treatment with deferasirox versus deferoxamine. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Cardiac function after 6 & 12 months of treatment with deferasirox vs. deferoxamine, by change in left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular systolic & diastolic volumes, and the proportion of patients dropping out due to cardiac dysfunction. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Absolute and relative change from baseline in liver iron content (LIC) by liver MRI, and serum ferritin after 6 and 12 months treatment with deferasirox vs. deferoxamine. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Safety and tolerability of deferasirox vs deferoxamine over the 12 months treatment period. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Single and repeated dose pharmacokinetics of deferasirox. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Additional safety and efficacy for deferasirox and deferoxamine for patients treated beyond 12 months in the extension phase. [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
