'Luspatercept represents the first and only erythroid maturation agent (EMA) approved by the European Commission (EC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) capable of enhancing advanced

More than 200 Italian patients with transfusion- dependent beta thalassemia aged ≥18 years who had no approved therapeutic alternatives to improve their clinical course were considered eligible for the \'compassionate\' use program related to luspatercept and most of them received at least one dose of the drug before it was dispensed by the National Health System (NHS), after approval by the pharmaceutical company and the Ethics Committee of the Clinical Center in which they were being followed.', 'detailedDescription': "One month after the publication in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic of the AIFA determination of price and reimbursement for the treatment indication covered by the program, those who were still on treatment and were, in clinical judgment, eligible to continue it, continued to receive the drug through dispensation by the NHS.\n\nBecause access to the compassionate phase was less restrictive than access to that in formal clinical trials and the patients included particularly representative of real life, collecting data on clinical characteristics at baseline, safety, and efficacy is critical to enriching the information available on this new therapy. Continuing to collect efficacy, safety, and tolerability information beyond the compassionate phase is also essential for a more complete and accurate assessment, given the short duration of 'compassionate' treatment for a portion of the patients under study."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Adult (male and female), living or deceased patients with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia who received at least one dose of luspatercept during the compassionate use program.', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion criteria:\n\n\\- Subjects who received at least one dose of luspatercept in the compassionate phase\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n\\- Subjects who are not willing or able to sign the informed consent.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06913634', 'acronym': 'LUSPA001', 'briefTitle': 'Study to Evaluate the Long- Term Safety and Efficacy of Luspatercept in Subjects Who Received at Least One Dose of Luspatercept in the Compassionate Use Phase', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Fondazione per la Ricerca sulle Anemie ed Emoglobinopatie in Italia'}, 'officialTitle': 'Observational Study to Evaluate the Long- Term Safety and Efficacy of Luspatercept in Subjects Who Received at Least One Dose of Luspatercept in the "Compassionate" Use Phase', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'LUSPA001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'interventions': [{'name': 'Luspatercept (ACE-536)', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Luspatercept (ACE-536)'}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '09121', 'city': 'Cagliari', 'state': 'CA', 'country': 'Italy', 'facility': 'University of Cagliari, Ospedale Pediatrico Microcitemico, via Jenner sn, 09121 Cagliari -', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 39.23054, 'lon': 9.11917}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'RAFFAELLA ORIGA', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': "UNIVERSITA' DI CAGLIARI"}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Fondazione per la Ricerca sulle Anemie ed Emoglobinopatie in Italia', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
