Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Safety and Dose Confirmation Run-in Period (SRP) [Time Frame: 24 weeks]: Proportion of participants with hemoglobin (Hgb) 10 g/dL or more and 2 g/dL or more increase from Baseline with no use of blood transfusion or glucocorticoid (GC) rescue therapy. 2.Randomized Control Period (RCP) [Time Frame: 24 weeks]: Proportion of participants who achieve a durable Hgb response (defined as Hgb 10 g/dL or more and 2 g/dL or more increase from Baseline on at least 3 of 4 consecutive available visits), at the earliest on or after Week 12, with no use of blood transfusion or GC rescue therapy prior to attaining durable response through Week 24.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.SRP [Time Frame: 24 weeks] Change from Baseline in FACIT-F score through Week 24, Proportion of patients with no use of blood transfusion or GC rescue therapy through Week 24, Cumulative dose of GC rescue therapy through Week 24 and other secondary outcomes. 2.RCP [Time Frame: 24 weeks]: Change from Baseline to Week 24 in FACIT-F Score, Proportion of patients with no use of blood transfusion or GC rescue therapy through Week 24, Cumulative dose of GC rescue therapy through Week 24, Proportion of patients with no use of blood transfusions through Week 24 and other secondary outcomes.
