Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Changes in Mean Neutrophil Values (as Measured by Lab) for Arm 1 (Other Arms Were Used for Calibration Only)
Changes in Neutrophils between baseline and mean neutrophils values during treatment (measured after each dose)
Baseline, up to 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Need for Hospitalization, Ventilator Support, Exchange Transfusion/Apheresis or Treatment With Antifungals or Antibiotics
Baseline, up to 6 months
Cumulative Incidence of Documented Bacterial, Fungal, and Viral Infections
Baseline, up to 6 months
Study Arms (3)
Arm I
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive oral deferasirox once daily for up to 6 months or until blood counts recover in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
control arm
NO INTERVENTIONblood tested on healthy patients
correlative
NO INTERVENTIONtreated off study with or without oral deferasirox (patient choice) but lab draws to gather lab analysis
