  Purpose

This is an open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and tolerability of FBS0701. The study consists of two phases: the pharmacokinetic phase, using a single 16 mg/kg dose of FBS0701; and the chronic dosing phase, during which patients will receive an additional 48 weeks of FBS0701 dosing. Two age groups will be studied: 6-<12, and 12-<18 years old. The study is designed to initially assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of FBS0701 in older children (adolescents, 12-<18 years old) and then if deemed safe, in younger children (6-<12 years old).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Single-dose Pharmacokinetics: The concentrations of FBS0701 will be measured in plasma from all patients using a validated assay method. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be tabulated and summarized. [ Time Frame: 8 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Plasma levels, half-life of FBS0701 and other pharmacokinetic parameters following a single capsule dose of FBS0701 at 16 mg/kg with 7 days of follow-up.

  • Multiple Dose FBS0701 Study: Safety and Tolerability Based on Clinical Assessments; Efficacy Based on Clinical Response [ Time Frame: 48 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Clinical assessments include incidence and severity of adverse events, physical examinations including vital signs, clinical laboratory values, and ECGs); clinical response to be evaluated based on changes in liver and cardiac iron concentration determined by MRI in patients able to be studied using this method; serum ferritin in all patients.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  1. Able to swallow whole capsules.
  2. Transfusion-dependent patients who have transfusional iron overload requiring chronic treatment with deferoxamine, deferasirox, or deferiprone.
  3. Willing to discontinue all existing iron chelation therapies throughout study period.
  4. For patients able to have an MRI, Baseline liver iron concentration and cardiac MRI T2* per protocol requirements.
  5. Serum ferritin greater than 500 ng/mL at Screening.
  6. Mean of the previous three pre-transfusion hemoglobin concentrations greater than or equal to 7.5 g/dL.
  7. Agrees to use an approved method of contraception throughout the study period.

Exclusion Criteria

  1. As a result of medical review, physical examination or Screening investigations, the Principal Investigator considers the patient unfit for the study.
  2. Iron overload from causes other than transfusional hemosiderosis.
  3. Severe cardiac dysfunction.
  4. Non-elective hospitalization within the past 30 days prior to Baseline testing.
  5. Evidence of clinically significant oral, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurologic, psychiatric, or skin disorder that contra-indicates dosing with FBS0701.
  6. Evidence of significant renal insufficiency.
  7. Known sensitivity to any ingredient in the FBS0701 formulation.
  8. Platelet count below 100,000/µL or absolute neutrophil count less than 1500/mm3 at Screening.
  9. Screening ALT outside of protocol requirements.
  10. Use of any investigational agent within the 30 days prior to Baseline testing.
  11. Pregnant or lactating females.
