Inclusion Criteria

  • 1. Age: 18-60 years old at screening
  • 2. Transfusional iron overload due to:
  • 2.1. Hereditary anemias such as sickle cell disease, ß-thalassemia and Blackfan-Diamond anemia
  • 2.2. Acquired anemias such as Myelodysplastic Syndrome and other forms of bone marrow failure
  • 3. Patients must also be transfusion-dependent (8 or more transfusions annually) and require chronic treatment with deferoxamine, deferasirox, and/or deferiprone
  • 4. Willing to discontinue all existing iron chelation therapies throughout the study period
  • 5. Serum ferritin >500 ng/mL at screening
  • 6. Baseline liver iron concentration (LIC) and cardiac T2* MRI per protocol requirements
  • 7. Mean of the previous three pre-transfusion haemoglobin concentrations = 7.5 g/dL
  • 8. Agrees to use an approved method of contraception througout the study

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1. As a result of medical review, physical examination or screening investigations, the Principal Investigator considers the patient unfit for the study
  • 2. Non-elective hospitalisation within the 30 days prior to baseline testing
  • 3. Evidence of clinically relevant oral, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurologic, psychiatric, immunologic, bone marrow or skin disorder as determined by the investigator
  • 4. Evidence of significant renal insufficiency
  • 5. Cardiac left ventricular ejection fraction outside of protocol requirements
  • 6. Known sensitivity to magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium or FBS0701
  • 7. Platelet count below 150,000/µL and/or absolute neutrophil count less than 1500/mm3 at screening
  • 8. Alkaline phosphatase, Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) outside of protocol requirements
  • 9. Use of any investigational agent within the 30 days prior to the baseline testing
