Summary

The overall purpose of this trial is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of deferasirox, dosed initially according to the transfusional iron intake, in patients with transfusion dependant anemia related to disorders other than β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease. During the study, the dose will be adjusted based on serum Ferritin.The overall purpose of the extension is to allow further treatment of patients who have already completed the core study, and to enable collection of long term efficacy and safety data.
