NCT ID NCT07288762
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will measure certain hormones in 80 boys aged 10 to 18 who have transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia. The goal is to see how iron buildup from repeated blood transfusions affects the glands that control puberty and fertility. By checking levels of inhibin B, INSL3, and AMH, researchers hope to catch any problems early.
