Safety of ICL670 vs. Deferoxamine in Sickle Cell Disease Patients With Iron Overload Due to Blood...
AnemiaSickle CellThe purpose of this study is to determine if the new orally active iron chelator, ICL670, is as safe as deferoxamine in preventing accumulation of iron in the body while a patient is undergoing repeated blood transfusions.
Cytochrome P450 2E1 and Iron Overload
Insulin ResistanceIron OverloadThe aim of the study is to determine, in patients presenting hepatic iron overload (genetic haemochtomatisis or dysmetabolic iron overload syndrome), the effects of venesection therapy on cytochrome P450 2E1 activity by comparing the rates of metabolization of chlorzoxazone before and after venesection.
Safety and Efficacy of Early Treatment With Deferiprone in Infants and Young Children
Beta Thalassemia Major AnemiaIron OverloadThis study is looking at the effects of giving early treatment of deferiprone to young children with beta thalassemia who have started receiving regular blood transfusions but have not yet reached the criteria for starting on iron chelation therapy. Half the patients in the study will receive deferiprone, and the other half will receive placebo, for up to 12 months.
The Effect of N-acetylcysteine on Oxidative Stress Status and Iron Overload in Thalassemia Major...
Thalassemia MajorThe effect of N-acetylcysteine as antioxidant and its effect on pretransfusion hemoglobin and iron overload in patients with thalassemia were compared to patients who didn't receive n-acetylcysteine after 3 months of study duration
Efficacy/Safety Study of Deferiprone Compared to Deferasirox in Paediatric Patients
Chronic Iron OverloadMulticentre, randomised, open label, non-inferiority active-controlled trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of a 12-months treatment with deferiprone (DFP) at dose of 75-100 mg/kg/day versus deferasirox (DFX) at dose of 20-40 mg/kg/day in paediatric patients (1 month < 18 years old) affected by hereditary haemoglobinopathies and requiring frequent transfusions and chelation.
Efficacy and Safety of Deferasirox in Combination With Deferoxamine Followed by Deferasirox Monotherapy...
Cardiac Iron OverloadThis study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferasirox in combination with deferoxamine followed be deferasirox monotherapy in patients with severe iron overload due to chronic blood transfusions.
Open-Label Single-Arm Pilot Study in Adult Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients...
Iron OverloadThis study has been designed to establish the efficacy and safety of deferasirox in patients with iron overload from 6 to 18 months after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The purpose of this study is to assess the mean change in serum ferritin after 52 weeks of treatment with deferasirox, in patients with iron overload (defined with serum ferritin levels ≥ 1000 ng/ml and receiving > 20 RBC concentrates) after allogeneic HSCT.
Phase I Study to Examine the Effect of Deferasirox on Renal Hemodynamics in β-thalassemia Patients...
β-thalassemiaTransfusional Iron OverloadThe 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).
Phlebotomy and Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Compensated Alcoholic Cirrhosis...
Alcoholic CirrhosisIron OverloadThe main objective of the study is to assess in patients with compensated alcoholic cirrhosis and hepatic iron overload (HIO), as assessed by MRI, the effect of phlebotomy in order to lower and maintain serum ferritin below 50 µg / l on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurrence. The effect of bloodletting will be jointly evaluated on 1) episodes of hepatic decompensation, 2) non HCC liver-related mortality 3) changes in HIO during follow-up.
Efficacy and Safety of Deferasirox in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Transfusion-dependent...
Myelodysplastic SyndromesTransfusion Dependent Iron OverloadThe purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of iron chelation using deferasirox in low and INT-1 risk (referring to the international prognostic scoring system, IPSS) MDS patients who show signs of iron overload due to repeated blood transfusions. This trial is not recruiting patients in the United States.
