Outcome results

Primary

Absolute Change of Serum Ferritin From Baseline to the End of Extension, by Dose Cohort (Extension Per-protocol Population)

Mean absolute change in serum ferritin from baseline to the end of the extension study.

Time frame: 0 to 48 weeks

Population: Extension Per-protocol population including all participants of the per protocol population who also were part of the extension safety population.

Secondary

Trough Concentrations of Deferasirox (ICL670), by Dose Cohort (Per-protocol Population)

A blood sample was collected just prior to administration of the next dose of Deferasirox (pre-dose trough level) or approximately 24 hours after the previous dose at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The mean trough concentration at each time point was calculated.

Time frame: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 weeks

Population: Per-protocol population included all participants of the safety population; who received at least one dose of study drug within the core study and had at least one safety assessment, and who did not have any major protocol deviation. n in each of the Categories is the number of participants in each arm/group who had data for that time point.
