Interventionmg of iron per gram of liver dry weight (Least Squares Mean)
Deferiprone-4.13
Deferoxamine-4.38

Timeframe: Change from baseline to Week 52

Interventionmicrograms per liter (Least Squares Mean)
Deferiprone-385.83
Deferoxamine-760.89

Change in Patient-reported Quality of Life, as Measured by the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) or the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-PF50).

Adult patients completed the SF-36 questionnaire and minors completed the CHQ-PF50. These questionnaires yield a profile of functional health and well-being, based on 8 scales of physical and mental health measures: Physical Functioning, Role Limitations due to Physical Health, Bodily Pain, General Health Perceptions, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role Limitations due to Emotional Problems, and Mental Health (MH), and summary scores are produced for physical well-being and mental well-being. The summaries are scored from 0-100, with higher scores reflecting better outcomes. (NCT02041299)

Cardiac MRI T2*

Change in cardiac iron concentration (measured using cardiac MRI T2*), assessed as difference between value at 12 months minus value at baseline. MRI T2* is a non-invasive method based on gradient echo (GRE) sequences, where T2* represents the spin-spin relaxation times, measured in milliseconds. The faster the curve decreases (ie, the smaller T2*), the greater amount of iron is in the tissue. Treatment success was assessed as follows: if baseline cardiac T2* was less than 20 ms, an increase of 10% or more after 1 year of treatment was defined as treatment success; if baseline cardiac T2* was more than 20 ms, any increase or a decrease of less than 10% after 1 year of treatment was defined as treatment success.
