Efficacy and Safety of Oral Deferasirox (20 mg/kg/d) in Pts 3 to 6 Months After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Who Present With Iron Overload

November 16, 2016 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A One-year, Open-label, Single Arm, Multi-center Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Oral ICL670 (20 mg/kg/d) in Patients Three to Six Months After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Whom Iron Overload is Present

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of iron chelation using deferasirox in patients who show signs of iron overload after an allogeneic stem cell transplantation The iron overload must be due to blood transfusions.
