简要总结
The scientific rationale for this study is the evolving understanding that iron-induced tissue damage is not only a process of progressive bulking of organs through high-volumes iron deposition, but also a reactive iron species related "toxic" damage.
Iron mediated damage can occur prior reaching high iron storage thresholds derived from thalassemia major setting, free toxic iron species being already present when transferrin saturation >60-70% (25); therefore a timely early adoption of iron chelation may be of benefit before overt iron overload is seen.
Our hypothesis is that early and low dose DFX-FCT is better tolerated and is able to prevent iron accumulation and consequently tissue iron related damage, by consistently suppressing iron reactive oxygen species (NTBI and LPI).
If this hypothesis is confirmed this approach could contribute to an improvement of clinical practice of patients managements. Additionally this approach might also be a contribute in preventing future iron overloaded related complication, in this already frail and co-treated patient population.

- •Treatment with systemic investigational drug within 4 weeks or topical investigational drug within 7 days of study start.
- •ALT or AST over 3 times superior to ULN at screening.
- •ANC < 500/ microL
- •Platelets transfusion dependency
- •Total bilirubin over 1.5 times superior to ULN at screening (patients with Gilbert syndrome are allowed to enter the study)
- •Diagnosis of Child score C liver cirrhosis.
- •Patients participating in another clinical trial other than an observational registry study.
- •Patients with a history of another malignancy within the past 3 years, with the exception of basal skin carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ or completely resected colonic polyps carcinoma in situ.
- •History of non-compliance to medical regimens, or patients who are considered potentially unreliable and/or not cooperative.
- •Presence of a surgical or medical condition which might significantly alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of study drug.
- •Pregnant, intending-to-become pregnant, or breast-feeding patients.
- •Women of potential maternity age who do not agree to practice effective contraceptive methods fo the entire study duration.
- •History of drug or alcohol abuse within the 12 months prior to enrollment.
