Brief summary

Proportion of subjects who are RBC transfusion-free for any 12-week period associated with a concurrent mean hemoglobin increase ≥ 1.5 g/dL compared to baseline

Detailed description

1. Proportion of subjects who are RBC transfusion-free from Week 1 through Week 24 2. Mean hemoglobin change over the 24-week period of Week 1 through Week 24 compared to baseline 3. Proportion of subjects achieving HI-E over any consecutive 56-day Period, 4. Time from first dose to first onset of achieving HI-E 5. Proportion of subjects who are RBC transfusion-free over a consecutive 84-day period 6. Maximum duration of RBC transfusion independence for subjects who achieve RBC-TI ≥ 84 days, 7. Time from first dose to first onset of transfusion independence ≥ 84 days 8. Time from first dose to first transfusion on treatment 9. Total number of RBC units transfused on treatment, 10. Proportion of subjects who are RBC transfusion-free over a consecutive 56-day period 11. Proportion of subjects who are RBC transfusion-free for a consecutive 24-week period in the first 48 weeks from first dose 12. Evaluation of EORTC QLQ-C30 score and FACT-An, 13. Type, frequency, severity of AEs and relationship of AEs to luspatercept/epoetin alfa 14. A Population PK model that describes the PK exposure data of luspatercept and associated variability. Exposure-response relationship for selected endpoints of efficacy and Safety, 15. Frequency of antidrug antibodies and effects on efficacy, or safety, or PK 16. Number and percentage of subjects progressing to AML; time to AML Progression 17. Time from date of randomization to death due to any cause, 18. Evaluation of biomarkers that may potentially impact luspatercept efficacy, predict response or relapse, help to better understand MOA and/or provide further prognostic classification of MDS subtypes. Molecular markers (eg, SF3B1) include evaluation of MDSassociated gene mutations and their impact on drug efficacy, clinical response or relapse, drug MOA and prognostication of MDS, 19. Evaluation of healthcare resource use (eg, hospitalization) associated with investigational product (IP) during study 20. Description of QUALMS-P and Treatment Satisfaction
