Efficacy and safety of early‐start deferiprone in infants and young children with transfusion‐dependent beta thalassemia: Evidence for iron shuttling to transferrin in a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, clinical trial (
Children with transfusion‐dependent thalassemia (TDT) require regular blood transfusions that, without iron‐chelation therapy, lead to iron‐overload toxicities.

The Vital Role Played by Deferiprone in the Transition of Thalassaemia from a Fatal to a Chronic Disease and Challenges in Its Repurposing for Use in Non-Iron-Loaded Diseases [PDF]
The iron chelating orphan drug deferiprone (L1), discovered over 40 years ago, has been used daily by patients across the world at high doses (75–100 mg/kg) for more than 30 years with no serious toxicity.

Mitochondrial ferritin upregulation by deferiprone reduced neuronal ferroptosis and improved neurological deficits via NDRG1/Yap pathway in a neonatal rat model of germinal matrix hemorrhage [PDF]
Ferroptosis contributes to brain injury after germinal matrix hemorrhage (GMH). Mitochondrial ferritin (FTMT), a novel mitochondrial outer membrane protein, reduces oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases.

Deferiprone ameliorates cisplatin induced peripheral neurotoxicity via ferritinophagy adjustment [PDF]
Cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity is one of the limiting factors to its use especially in tumors that demand high drug dosage. One of the Cisplatin pathways is ferritinophagy which may end up in ferroptosis.
