 (submitted: July 20, 2021)
  • Efficacy of Combined Treatment With Deferasirox and Deferoxamine Over 12 Months [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Change in liver iron concentration from baseline to 12 months with the use of combined chelation therapy. The change was calculated as the liver iron concentration at 12 months minus the value at baseline.
  • Change in Serum Creatinine During 12 Months Combined Chelation Therapy [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Comparison of average serum creatinine over 12 months of combined chelation therapy compared with baseline serum creatinine.

Descriptive Information
Brief Title  ICMJE Combined Chelation Therapy in Patients With Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia and Iron Overload
Official Title  ICMJE Safety of Deferasirox (ICL670) and Deferoxamine (Desferal or DFO) Combined Chelation Therapy in Patients With Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia and Iron Overload
Brief Summary This is a pilot study looking at the safety and efficacy of giving combination chelation with deferasirox and deferoxamine. The hypothesis is that combination chelation is safe in decreasing overall iron in patients with thalassemia.
Detailed Description This was a phase two pilot clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of deferasirox and deferoxamine in transfusion dependent thalassemia with a range of systemic iron burden. The duration of combined therapy was 12 months. Changes in liver iron concentration, ferritin, myocardial iron, and serum creatinine was monitored.
Study Type  ICMJE Interventional
Study Phase  ICMJE Phase 2
Study Design  ICMJE Allocation: N/A
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition  ICMJE
  • Thalassemia
  • Iron Overload
Intervention  ICMJE Drug: Combo Chelation with Deferasirox (Exjade) and Deferoxamine (DFO)
All subjects will be given Deferasirox 20-30 mg/kg for 7 days per week. All subject will be given Deferoxamine 50 mg/kg for 3-7 days per week. The number of days for Deferoxamine will be determined by liver iron concentration at baseline.
Other Names:
  • Deferasirox, (Exjade)
  • Deferoxamine (DFO)
Study Arms  ICMJE Experimental: Deferasirox (Exjade) and Deferoxamine (DFO)
All subjects received Deferasirox (Exjade) and Deferoxamine (DFO) dosing based on the iron overload at baseline.
Intervention: Drug: Combo Chelation with Deferasirox (Exjade) and Deferoxamine (DFO)
