Headline: |
Study found that, in the short term, there is little clinical difference between deferasirox, deferoxamine and deferiprone in terms of removing iron from the blood and liver, and that deferasirox may be cost-effective compared with deferoxamine in patients with beta-thalassaemia and sickle cell disease but is unlikely to be cost-effective compared with deferiprone |
