Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Deferasirox is an oral iron chelator used to reduce iron levels in iron-overloaded patients with transfusion-dependent anemia or non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia. This study investigated the effects of genetic polymorphisms on the pharmacokinetics of deferasirox in healthy Chinese subjects and constructed a pharmacokinetic prediction model based on physiologic factors and genetic polymorphism data.
