Spotlight Talks: New Agents for the Treatment of Thalassemia
In this podcast, you will listen to Prof Antonis Kattamis summarizing the last developments in the treatment of patients with thalassemia. While the life expectancy of these patients has considerably improved in the last decades, quality of life and disease burden is still a relevant issue.
However, new classes of drugs, with action of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of the disease, are entering the clinics—drugs able to improve globin chain imbalance or ineffective erythropoiesis, or decrease hemolysis. Prof Kattamis will discuss the efficacy of these treatments and of innovative gene therapy approaches, not neglecting economic evaluations on the sustainability of new treatments in thalassemia.
Guest: Prof Antonis Kattamis
