Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of an Oral Iron Chelator Given for a Year to Pediatric Patients With Iron Overload

Summary

This is an open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, efficacy and tolerability of SSP-004184AQ. The study consists of two phases: the pharmacokinetic phase, using a single 16 mg/kg dose of SSP-004184AQ; and the chronic dosing phase, during which patients will receive an additional 48 weeks of SSP-004184AQ dosing. Two age groups will be studied: 6-\<12, and 12-\<18 years old. The study is designed to initially assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of SSP-004184AQ in older children (adolescents, 12-\<18 years old) and then if deemed safe, in younger children (6-\<12 years old).
