An Open-label, Phase II, Randomized, Pilot Study to Assess the Effect in Term of Erythroid Improvement of Deferasirox Combined With Erythropoietin Compared to Erythropoietin Alone in Patients With low-and Int-1-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Deferasirox DFX, DT, Erythropoietin alpha, and 1 other intervention for Low and Int 1-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 30 sites in 10 countries.
Detailed Summary
The primary purpose of this trial was is to assess the effect of treatment with deferasirox combined with erythropoietin vs. erythropoietin alone on erythropoiesis in patients with low- and int-1-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The addition of deferasirox to erythropoietin can lead to a potential synergism with the reduction of reactive oxygen species, through both the NF-kB pathway and the control of free toxic iron. This may create a better environment in the bone marrow for a better response with erythropoietin. This study was designed to test in a prospective way the combination of deferasirox with erythropoietin in terms of their effect on hematopoiesis.
