Brief Title: Combination Study of Deferasirox and Erythropoietin in Patients With Low- and Int-1-risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
Official Title: 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.
Study ID: NCT01868477
Brief 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.
Detailed Description: This study did not meet the original enrollment objective of 60 patients and was terminated without extending enrollment past original planned LPFV of 31-Oct-2016.
