History of significant diseases of the liver, hematopoietic system, cardiovascular system, psychiatric disorder, or other conditions which, on the opinion of the investigator, may place a subject at added risk for participation in the study. 5. Any existing non-viral infection. 6. Known history of positive hepatitis B antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis C viral antibody (HCV) with evidence of active hepatitis. 7. Known history of positive HIV-1/HIV-2 antibodies (anti-HIV). 8.

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1. Change in ferritin from baseline to Day 35 2. Change in TSAT from baseline to Day 35 3.
