Brief Summary  

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of hydroxyurea and thalidomide in the treatment of transfusion dependent thalassemia (TDT) to improve the haemoglobin level, improve the quality of life, reduce blood transfusion, so as to avoid the adverse reactions caused by transfusion. 

The project is a multi-arm, multicentric research of hydroxyurea and thalidomide in transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients. Patients volunteering to participate in this trial and meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled. Participants will be randomised to either hydroxyurea or thalidomide or both hydroxyurea and thalidomide or standard of care arm. 40 patients will be allocated to each group and the estimated duration of study is 03 years. Dosage of hydroxyurea will be up to 15 mg/kg and thalidomide up to 3 mg/kg  along with aspirin 5mg per kg per day. During this time, hepatic and renal function, hematologic function, electrocardiogram and the adverse reactions will be closely observed and blood transfusion will be done if hemoglobin levels is below 8 g/dl.
