Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will determine the safety and possibility of giving the amino acid, leucine, in patients with Diamond Blackfan anemia(DBA)who are on dependent on red blood cell transfusions.

The leucine is expected to produce a response in patients with DBA to the point where red blood cell production is increased. Red cell transfusions can then be less frequent or possibly discontinued.

The investigators will study the side effects, if any, of giving leucine to DBA patients. Leucine levels of leucine will be obtained at baseline and during the study.

The drug leucine will be provided in capsule form and taken 3 times a day for a total of 9 months.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Leucine will be provided to participants in the form of a capsule and will be taken three times daily.

Blood hemoglobin levels will be monitored every 3-4 weeks for 9 months.

The entire study will last 12-15 months in length.

Subjects must be two years of age or older and on transfusion for more than six months prior to enrollment.
