About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about SP-420 ability to remove iron from organs in subjects with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia or transfusion-dependent low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How efficient is SP-420 in cleaning iron from the liver? * How is the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of SP-420?
Participants will:
* Take medication three times weekly * Attend up to 20 site visits * Undergo MRI scans
