Where shines and smiles an eternal spring under an ever blue sky!!

Survival
In 1966 no patient treated at the Thalassemia Center in Ferrara had reached age 13 yrs
• Median survival for patients treated at Cornell Medical Center between 1960-1976 was 17 yrs

DESIGN AND METHODS
• survival after the first decade was studied for 977 patients born since 1960
• survival since birth was studied for 720 patients born after 1970.
We investigated the interactions between • gender, birth cohort,
complications, and ferritin

Results
Better survival demonstrated for 1. patients born in more recent
years (p<0.00005) 2. females (p=0.0003);
68% of pts were alive at age 35yrs.

Heart disease is by far the main cause of death
Several recent studies have found deferiprone to be more effective than deferoxamine in removal of
myocardial iron
![Page 32: Borgna-Pignatti](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5528500a49795917048b475d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Survival without Cardiac Disease in Patients with Thalassemia Major
Treated with DFO (N=43) or DFP (N=44)Piga et al 2003
Survival Without Cardiac Disease During Chelation Therapy with DFO in 97 Patients With Thalassemia Major
Olivieri et al, 1994
“For the full cohort, the estimated survival without cardiac disease was 80 percent after 5 years of chelation therapy, 65 percent after 10 years, and 55 percent after 15 years.”
P=0.008
![Page 33: Borgna-Pignatti](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5528500a49795917048b475d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Using the large Italian databasewe tried to verify the effect of deferiprone on the prevalence
of heart disease
![Page 34: Borgna-Pignatti](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5528500a49795917048b475d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Objective of the study
To evaluate the effects of deferiprone vs deferoxamine in terms of:
1.cardiac event incidence 2.survival
in thalassemia major patients in seven Italian centers
![Page 36: Borgna-Pignatti](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051211/5528500a49795917048b475d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Natural history study
• Pts born after Jan 1, 1970 who did not die or have cardiac event prior to Jan /31/ 1995
• Last follow-up Dec/31/ 03.

359 patients treated with DFO before Jan 1995 and during the
entire study period
(3610 person-years)

Deferiprone-switched group
pts treated with DFO at least until Jan 1995 and switched to deferiprone at
some point after Jan 1995
157 pts on deferiprone (750 person-years)

Cox modeling analysis – time to event analysis
• The number of pts who had a cardiac event was summarized by treatment group by calendar yr
• The risk group for each yr was made by all pts alive and w/o cardiac event that were on one of the drugs on Jan 1 of that yr
• The incidence for each yr was calculated as the % of pts experiencing a cardiac event during that yr from the pts at risk during that yr

Two additional analyses
• The odds-ratio of a cardiac event on DFO rather than on deferiprone is estimated > 10.5
• A person-years analysis found the hazard of an event on deferiprone < 1/10 of the hazard of an event on DFO.

Side EffectsForty-six (31%) patients d/c deferiprone
• increase in ferritin levels or LIC (21), • arthropathy or arthralgia (10), • neutropenia (8) or agranulocytosis (1), • increased ALT (2),• gastric discomfort (2) • worsening of renal failure (1) • worsening of hepatic insufficiency in a
cirrhotic, HCV positive patient (1).

Risk Factors
• Ferritin >2,500 µg/L was associated with a HR of 3.71 as compared to ferritin <2,500 µg per liter (P<0.001)
• Age at entry was a predictive risk factor.– Each increasing year of age was
associated with a HR 1.17 (P<0.001).

Confirming previous data
Males were 2.5 times more likely to have a cardiac
event than females (P=0.009).

Conclusion
Our large series confirms that Deferiprone is more
cardioprotective than DFO

Possible explanations1. DFP more efficient in entering the
myocytes, to bind iron and remove it from the cell molecule smaller and more lipophilic than DFO
2. Greater daily drug exposure 3. Suppression of free radical activity generated from
excess iron within the myocyte 4. Better compliance could contribute, but the lack of
change of the mean ferritin levels does not point to improved compliance as the mechanism for cardioprotection.

Conclusion
The available therapy, transfusion & chelation, possibly
tailored for the need of each patient, will increase further the chances of
thalassemia patients for a long life free of complications

Price for one year of treatment
• 14,000 € per patient.• chelation therapy (57%)• transfusions (36%), • surgical procedures (4%), • laboratory tests (3%).

Therefore
• worldwide, 87% of children born with thal major die untreated,
• at least 60% of those transfused have no access to chelation
therapy

Need for pan-European collaboration to benefit from experience of others, to share methodologies, and to develop standardized preventive and therapeutic approaches.
