  Purpose

This 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.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean change in serum ferritin [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks of treatment with deferasirox ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean change in the no. of sideroblasts, assessed by Perls staining [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks of treatment with deferasirox ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Mean change in liver iron concentration (LIC), assessed by liver MRI. [ Time Frame: after 52 weeks of treatment with deferasirox ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease ("limited" or "extensive", according to Shulman criteria) [ Time Frame: up to 52 weeks of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Incidence of infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal) [ Time Frame: up to 52 weeks of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Incidence of venous occlusive disease during the study [ Time Frame: up to 52 weeks of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
