Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Study treatment is defined as deferasirox 20 mg/kg BID. The study treatment duration is 24 weeks. After the baseline visit, patient visits will occur weekly during the first month because key safety parameters need to be performed weekly in the first month of treatment and then every 4 weeks thereafter until week 24 End of Treatment (EOT).
Patients will have their first dose of study treatment at Visit 3. Safety assessments are routinely performed including collection of AEs (Adverse Events), SAEs (Serious ADverse Events<, vital signs, physical examination, ECG (Electrocardiograph), hematological and biochemistry assessments.
Patients will continue therapy until intolerable toxicity, patient decision or after 24 weeks treatment duration at which point and End of Treatment (EOT) visit will be performed and the End of Treatment CRF( Case Report Form) will be completed.
30 day Safety follow-up Patients who discontinue study drug before completing the study should be scheduled for a visit as soon as possible, at which time all of the assessments listed for the final visit will be performed. At a minimum, all patients who discontinue study treatment, including those who refuse to return for a final visit, will be contacted for safety evaluations during the 30 days following the last dose of study drug.
All patients must be followed for AEs and SAEs that may have occurred after discontinuation from the study treatment. The safety follow-up visit will take place 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
