Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the proportion of patients who have an erythroid response (HI-E) according to IWG 2018 criteria separately for both independent substudies.;Secondary Objective: - HI-E response duration - Time to HI-E - Hemoglobin changes from baseline - Red blood cell transfusion (RBC) independence = 8 and = 12 weeks - Frequency of RBC transfusions in transfusion dependent patients - Neutrophil and platelet (HI-N and HI-P) responses - Disease progression according to IWG 2018 criteria - Safety and toxcicity profile of CA-4948 - Quality of life (QoL) - Mutational pattern and burden of selected genes and their influence on response ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is erythroid response (HI-E) according to IWG 2018 criteria ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 4 cycles CA-4948 treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • HI-E response duration • Time to HI-E • Frequency of RBC transfusions in transfusion dependent patients • Neutrophil and platelet (HI-N and HI-P) responses according to IWG 2018 criteria ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - HI-E response duration: from time point of response determination (after start of treatment) until loss of response Time to HI-E: time from start of treatment until HI-E determination
