Khaled Musallam on Management of Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassaemia in LMICs
Khaled Musallam, Group Chief Research Officer at Burjeel Holdings, shared on LinkedIn:
”On the first day of 2026, I’m delighted to share one of my favourite pieces of work—published today in The Lancet Haematology and featured on the cover.
This Viewpoint introduces a practical decision matrix to help prioritise novel therapies for thalassemia—including disease-modifying and gene therapies—based on need, benefit, and risk, particularly in settings where access remains limited.
It also proposes realistic alternatives when standard options are not available.
The work builds on Thalassaemia International Federation guidelines, the best available trial and real-world evidence, and expert consensus from a truly global group of haematologists, transplant physicians, patient representatives, translational scientists, and trialists—bringing together 200+ years of collective clinical experience across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
Grateful to an exceptional group of co-authors and hopeful this framework helps support more equitable, evidence-based care for patients worldwide.”
