Efficacy and safety of administration of oral iron chelator deferiprone in patients with early myelodysplastic syndrome

Original language description

Forty-eight patients with early myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) without excess of blasts, with average initial serum ferritin levels of 2739.5 microg/L (range 825-11287 microg/L), were treated with deferiprone (L1) in a daily dose of 40-90 mg/kg. Median duration of chelation treatment was 10.9 months (range 4-24 months). Chelation was effective (maintained or decreased iron stores) in 16 out of 22 patients (73%) with serum ferritin levels <2000 microg/L in contrast to only 12 out of 26 patients with serum ferritin levels >2000 microg/L. Combination of L1 with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) (30-40 kU/week) resulted in effective chelation in five additional patients with serum ferritin levels >3000 microg/L. Incidence of adverse effects was comparable to that in thalassemic patients. Gastrointestinal symptoms represented the most frequent adverse effect of L1 therapy (37.5% of patients) that limited an effective escalation of the daily dose of the drug and led to discontinuatio
