Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Therapy, Safety
To evaluate the erythroid response (hematologic improvement erythroid, HI-E) rate of luspatercept (LUS) for the treatment of
anemia due to very low-, low-, or intermediate-risk MDS in subjects who require no RBC transfusions.
Secondary objectives 9
- To evaluate HI-E response duration on a time horizon of 18 months after response
- To evaluate time to HI-E
- To evaluate hemoglobin changes from baseline
- To evaluate red blood cell transfusion (RBC) independence in 8 and 12 weeks
- To evaluate neutrophil and platelet (HI-N and HI-P) responses
- To assess time course changes in sEPO levels
- To assess the impact of luspatercept treatment on quality of life (QoL) over 24 weeks
- To evaluate safety and toxicity profile of luspatercept
- Safety endpoints of particular interest are thrombosis und cardiovascular events
Conditions and MedDRA coding
Patients with very low, low or intermediate risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) presenting with anemia, transfusion independence (NTD) and naive towards ESA treatment

Secondary endpoints 1
- To evaluate HI-E response duration on a time horizon of 18 months after response
