PG - 3263-8 LID - 10.1182/blood-2011-10-386268 [doi] AB - This was a 24-week, multicenter phase-2 study designed to assess safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of FBS0701, a novel oral chelator, in adults with transfusional iron overload. Fifty-one patients, stratified by transfusional iron intake, were randomized to FBS0701 at either 14.5 or 29 mg/kg/d (16 and 32 mg/kg/d salt form). FBS0701 was generally well tolerated at both doses. Forty-nine patients (96%) completed the study. There were no drug-related serious adverse events. No adverse events (AEs) showed dose-dependency in frequency or severity. Treatment-related nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea were each noted in < 5% of patients. Mean serum creatinine did not change significantly from Baseline or between dose groups. Transaminases wer increased in 8 (16%), three of whom acquired HCV on-study from a single blood bank while five had an abnormal baseline ALT. The 24 week mean change in liver iron concentration (DeltaLIC) at 14.5 mg/kg/d was +3.1 mg/g (dw); 29% achieved a decrease in LIC. Mean DeltaLIC at 29 mg/kg/d was -0.3 mg/g (dw); 44% achieved a decrease in LIC (P < .03 for DeltaLIC between doses). The safety and tolerability profile at therapeutic doses compare favorably to other oral chelators.
