NCT ID NCT03692052

Summary

This study tested an oral medication called AG-348 in 20 adults with a form of thalassemia that doesn't require regular blood transfusions. The main goal was to see if the pill could safely and effectively raise hemoglobin levels, which carry oxygen in the blood. Participants took the drug for an initial 24-week period, with the option to continue in a long-term extension study for up to 10 years.
