New pill could ease iron overload for thousands with genetic disorder
Disease control Recruiting nowThis phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called vamifeport in 84 adults with HFE-related hereditary hemochromatosis, a genetic condition causing iron buildup. The drug aims to reduce liver iron levels, potentially offering an alternative to regular blood removal. Participant…

New pill aims to tame iron overload in genetic disorder
Disease control Recruiting nowThis early-stage trial tests an oral drug called BBI-001 for hereditary hemochromatosis, a condition where the body stores too much iron. The study has two parts: one checks safety in healthy volunteers, and the other measures how well the drug controls iron levels in patients. A…

Decades after transplant: does excess iron harm the liver?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study follows 500 adults who received a stem cell transplant at least 10 years ago to see if iron buildup in the body raises the risk of liver problems. Researchers will use blood tests and a special liver scan (FibroScan) to check for damage. The goal is to understand wheth…
