Brief summary

RATIONALE: Low dose deferasirox may be safe and effective in treating patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant and have iron overload. PURPOSE: This pilot clinical trial studies safety and tolerability of deferasirox in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients who have iron overload. Effect of low dose deferasirox on labile plasma iron is also examined.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine labile plasma iron (LPI) levels in iron overloaded patients after allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). II. To determine safety and tolerability of low dose deferasirox in the post allogeneic HSCT setting. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine ability of deferasirox to suppress LPI in allogeneic HSCT patients with serum ferritin over 1500 ng/ml. II. To determine prevalence of elevated LPI in allogeneic HSCT recipients with serum ferritin over 1500 ng/ml. III. To determine ability of low dose deferasirox to lower serum ferritin during the treatment period. IV. To correlate LPI with serum ferritin in allogeneic HSCT recipients with serum ferritin over 1500 ng/ml. OUTLINE: Patients receive deferasirox at 10 mg/kg once daily for 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Labile plasma iron will be measured at baseline and at weeks 4, 12, and 24. Side effects of deferasirox will be recorded.

Number of Patients With LPI Below 0.5 Umol/L After TreatmentAssessed through 6 months from the start of treatmentIn patients with LPI values above threshold 0.5umol/L at baseline, number of patients had LPI suppressed below this value after treatment. Measurement of LPI is done on plasma specimens.
Number of Patients With Serum Ferritin Level Lower Than 1500 ng/mL After TreatmentAssessed through 6 months from the start of treatmentNumber of patients, whose Serum Ferritin levels are lower than 1500 ng/mL at two consecutive study visits. Serum Ferritin levels are measured at screening (baseline), week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and end of study.
Correlation of LPI With Serum FerritinAssessed through 6 months from the start of treatmentBoth LPI and Serum Ferritin levels are measured at screening (baseline), week 4, 12, 24 and end of study. The correlation between the levels of LPI and Serum Ferritin at screening, week 4, 12, 24 and end of study will be examined and plotted.

Correlation of LPI With Serum Ferritin

Both LPI and Serum Ferritin levels are measured at screening (baseline), week 4, 12, 24 and end of study. The correlation between the levels of LPI and Serum Ferritin at screening, week 4, 12, 24 and end of study will be examined and plotted.

Time frame: Assessed through 6 months from the start of treatment

Population: The enrolled patient's LPI level at baseline is below 0.5 umol/L and she had both LPI and Serum Ferritin levels measured at baseline only. Therefore, no sufficient data to estimate the correlation of LPI with Serum Ferritin.

Secondary

Number of Patients With LPI Below 0.5 Umol/L After Treatment

In patients with LPI values above threshold 0.5umol/L at baseline, number of patients had LPI suppressed below this value after treatment. Measurement of LPI is done on plasma specimens.

Time frame: Assessed through 6 months from the start of treatment

Population: No patient had elevated LPI level above 0.5umol/L at baseline.

Secondary

Number of Patients With Serum Ferritin Level Lower Than 1500 ng/mL After Treatment

Number of patients, whose Serum Ferritin levels are lower than 1500 ng/mL at two consecutive study visits. Serum Ferritin levels are measured at screening (baseline), week 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 and end of study.
