Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To allow patients treated with deferasirox in the core study to continue iron chelation therapy for 2 years or until the drug became locally commercially available.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of deferasirox by measuring treatment success, change in liver iron content (LIC) and change in serum ferritin levels. Safety was mainly assessed by incidence of adverse events (AEs)and clinically significant lab parameters. ;Primary end point(s): 1.Percentage of Participants With Treatment Success From Core Baseline (BL) to Extension End of Study, by Baseline LIC Level and Age 2. Absolute Change in Liver Iron Concentration (LIC)Measured by Liver MRI or Liver Biopsy From Core Study Baseline (BL) to End of Extension Study, by LIC Category ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. From Core Study Baseline, to Extension End of Study, Up to 3 Years 2. From Baseline of Core Study to End of Extension Study, up to 3 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Absolute Change in Serum Ferritin Level Measured From Core Study Baseline (BL) to End of Extension Study 2. Absolute Change in Serum Ferritin Level for All Participants Measured From Core Study Baseline (BL) to End of Extension Study, by Baseline Liver Iron Content (LIC) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. From Baseline of Core Study to End of Extension Study, up to 3 years 2. From Baseline of Core Study to End of Extension Study, up to 3 years
