Brief Summary: The scientific rationale for this study is the evolving understanding that iron-induced tissue damage is not only a process of progressive bulking of organs through high-volumes iron deposition, but also a reactive iron species related "toxic" damage.

Iron mediated damage can occur prior reaching high iron storage thresholds derived from thalassemia major setting, free toxic iron species being already present when transferrin saturation \>60-70% (25); therefore a timely early adoption of iron chelation may be of benefit before overt iron overload is seen.

Our hypothesis is that early and low dose DFX-FCT is better tolerated and is able to prevent iron accumulation and consequently tissue iron related damage, by consistently suppressing iron reactive oxygen species (NTBI and LPI).

If this hypothesis is confirmed this approach could contribute to an improvement of clinical practice of patients managements. Additionally this approach might also be a contribute in preventing future iron overloaded related complication, in this already frail and co-treated patient population.
