A Study to Test the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of an Antibody, REGN7999, Injected Under the Skin for the Treatment of Iron Overload in Adult Participants With Non-Transfusion Dependent β-thalassemia, Using MRI Scans to Measure Iron Levels in the Body

A PHASE 2, TWO-PART, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED, MULTICENTER STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY, SAFETY, AND TOLERABILITY OF SUBCUTANEOUSLY ADMINISTERED REGN7999 (AN INHIBITOR OF TMPRSS6) IN PARTICIPANTS WITH IRON OVERLOAD DUE TO NON-TRANSFUSION DEPENDENT β-THALASSEMIA

Non-Transfusion Dependent Beta-Thalassemia (NTDT)

Beta-Thalassemia, Resultant Iron Overload (IOL)

Brief summary

This study is researching an experimental drug called REGN7999 (called "study drug"). The study is focused on patients with non-transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia. The aim of the study is to see how safe and effective the study drug is. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * Whether the study drug lowers extra iron levels in the body * What side effects may happen from taking the study drug * How much study drug is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
