About this trial
This is a phase II, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to treat patients with transfusion-dependent and non-transfusion dependent β -thalassemia with AND017 and optimal supportive care, including blood transfusion and iron removal, based on the clinician's judgment and practice.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Documented diagnosis of β-thalassemia or hemoglobin E/β-thalassemia, HbS/ β-thalassemia (β-thalassemia with α-bead mutation and/or multiplication is not allowed).
TDT subjects: receive regular blood transfusions, defined as 6-20 RBC units (including threshold) in the 24 weeks prior to screening assessment, and no transfusion-free period of ≥ 5 weeks during this period.
NTDT cohort: having transfused <6 RBC units in the 24 weeks prior to the screening assessment, no regular transfusion schedule, and no transfusion for 4 weeks prior to the screening assessment.
Subject transfusion records should be obtained within 24 weeks prior to the screening assessment, containing the date of transfusion, transfused RBC units, and pre-transfusion hemoglobin values.
Disqualifiers
Other causes of anemia (e.g., hemolytic anemia, history of pure red blood cell aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or multiple myeloma)
Presence of active infection or inflammatory disease requiring systemic anti-infective therapy, including concomitant autoimmune diseases with inflammatory symptoms (e.g. generalized erythema, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, dry syndrome, etc.)
Complicated retinal neovascularization requiring treatment (diabetic proliferative retinopathy, age-related exudative macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion, macular edema, etc.)
Inability to take oral medications, conditions with a history of gastrectomy/bowel resection that may have an effect on the absorption of gastrointestinal medications (excluding gastric polyps or colonic polypectomy), or gastroparesis that remains symptomatic on current therapy
