First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tested whether a combination of two drugs, thalidomide and hydroxyurea, can reduce the need for blood transfusions in people with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia. 100 patients aged 2 years and older took the drugs for one year. The main goal was to see if the number of transfusions decreased. The study also tracked side effects. This approach aims to control the disease, not cure it.
