Purpose
The study will be conducted in compliance with the International Council on Harmonisation
(ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use/Good
Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory requirements.
This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to
determine the efficacy and safety of luspatercept (ACE-536) versus placebo in participants
with anemia due to the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) very low,
low, or intermediate MDS with ring sideroblasts who require red blood cell (RBC)
transfusions.
Detailed Description
Anemia is considered to be one of the most prevalent cytopenias in patients who have
myelodysplastic syndromes, an umbrella term used to describe disorders relating to the
ineffective production of red blood cells, white blood cells, and/or platelets. Ranging in
severity from mild (asymptomatic) to severe, anemia can result in patients requiring regular
red blood cell (RBC) transfusions, which can lead to further complications from iron
overload. The goal of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of luspatercept versus
placebo in anemic patients who are categorized as International Prognostic Scoring
System-Revised (IPSS-R) very low, low, or intermediate risk Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS),
have ring sideroblasts present, and require constant RBC transfusions. The design of the
study will allow a period of initial randomization of patients into either the luspatercept
or placebo arm, followed by a double-blind treatment period, and then an MDS disease
assessment visit. For those patients that are determined to be experiencing clinical benefit
as judged from the study Investigator by this disease assessment visit, they will be
permitted to enter the double-blind Extension Phase of the study. Once patients are
discontinued from study treatment, they will enter a post treatment follow-up period.
