Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
Thirty patients were to be enrolled and 24 patients were actually enrolled into this open-label, single-arm trial designed to assess the safety and tolerability of oral deferasirox in adult transfusion dependent myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients with iron overload. Patients enrolled in this study had low or intermediate (INT-1) risk MDS per International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) criteria. All patients initiated treatment with 20mg/kg/day deferasirox.

Deferasirox were administered orally once per day for 12 months.

Detailed description:
Patients were screened for eligibility to determine if they meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria. The screening period were up to 4 weeks. Patient's baseline LIC will be determined non-invasively by means of MRI R2 analysis. In addition, blood and urine samples will be taken for the determination of baseline safety data.

Arms:
arm 1: Participants received deferasirox 20mg/kg/day OD for 12 months. Deferasirox was taken every morning 30 minutes before breakfast, if possible consistently around the same time between 7:00 and 9:00 AM. The tablets was dropped into water or orange juice and gently stirred for 1 to 3 minutes until completely dispersed.
