Brief summary
This is an open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and tolerability of SSP-004184AQ. The study consists of two phases: the pharmacokinetic phase, using a single 16 mg/kg dose of SSP-004184AQ; and the chronic dosing phase, during which patients will receive an additional 48 weeks of SSP-004184AQ dosing. Two age groups will be studied: 6-\<12, and 12-\<18 years old. The study is designed to initially assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of SSP-004184AQ in older children (adolescents, 12-\<18 years old) and then if deemed safe, in younger children (6-\<12 years old).
Detailed description
Pharmacokinetic Phase: Patients will receive a single 16 mg/kg dose of SSP-004184AQ in capsule form. Chronic Dosing Phase: Patients will receive SSP-004184AQ capsules daily for 48 weeks. Doses may range from 8-60 mg/kg/d.

The efficacy of SPD602 was assessed by determining LIC. Abdominal MRI data were collected by using R2\* standard procedures and used to determine LIC. A negative change from baseline indicates that LIC decreased.
Time frame: Baseline, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks
Population: The FAS, defined as all participants in the Safety Analysis Set who had at least 1 post-baseline primary efficacy assessment, which was considered as the LICs assessed from FerriScan R2 MRI.
| Arm | Measure | Group | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 to <12 Year Old | Change From Baseline in LIC Assessed by R2* MRI | Week 24, n=7,15 | 0.3 mg Fe/g*dw | Standard Deviation 1.7 |
| 6 to <12 Year Old | Change From Baseline in LIC Assessed by R2* MRI | Week 48, n=3,10 | 0.6 mg Fe/g*dw | Standard Deviation 4.1 |
| 12 to <18 Year Old | Change From Baseline in LIC Assessed by R2* MRI | Week 24, n=7,15 | 0.2 mg Fe/g*dw | Standard Deviation 1.4 |
| 12 to <18 Year Old | Change From Baseline in LIC Assessed by R2* MRI | Week 48, n=3,10 | 0.3 mg Fe/g*dw | Standard Deviation 1.9 |
Change From Baseline in Serum Ferritin
Serum ferritin levels were assessed to determine if a participant was a successful responder and were determined from serum biochemistry analyses conducted at the central laboratories. A negative change from baseline indicates that serum ferritin decreased.
Time frame: Baseline, 24 weeks, and 48 weeks
Population: The FAS, defined as all participants in the Safety Analysis Set who had at least 1 post-baseline primary efficacy assessment, which was considered as the LICs assessed from FerriScan R2 MRI.
