What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Absolute Change of Serum Ferritin From Baseline to the End of Extension, by Dose Cohort (Extension Per-protocol Population)

    Mean absolute change in serum ferritin from baseline to the end of the extension study.

    Measured: 0 to 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Trough Concentrations of Deferasirox (ICL670), by Dose Cohort (Per-protocol Population)

    A blood sample was collected just prior to administration of the next dose of Deferasirox (pre-dose trough level) or approximately 24 hours after the previous dose at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. The mean trough concentration at each time point was calculated.

    Measured: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Deferasirox (ICL670) in people with Iron Overload and Hereditary Hemochromatosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 18 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in United States, Germany, Italy, Australia, Canada and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 May 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Absolute Change of Serum Ferritin From Baseline to the End of Extension, by Dose Cohort (Extension Per-protocol Population) (time frame: 0 to 48 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2011.
