Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics, of ascending doses of luspatercept in participants with β-thalassemia. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate erythroid response, defined as: 1. a hemoglobin increase of ≥ 1.5 g/dL from baseline for ≥ 14 days (in the absence of red blood cell \[RBC\] transfusions) in non-transfusion dependent participants, or 2. a ≥ 20% reduction in RBC transfusion burden compared to pretreatment in transfusion dependent participants.

LIC was measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Baseline was the last measurement prior to the first dose of study drug. TD participants were participants who had received ≥4 units of RBCs every 8 weeks (confirmed over 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug). The percentage of TD participants with baseline LIC ≥3 mg/g dry weight, who have used ICT, and who have demonstrated an LIC response is presented.
Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 20 weeksAn AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a study drug, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug whether or not it is considered related to the study drug. The number of participants who experienced an AE is presented.

Percentage of Non-transfusion Dependent (NTD) Participants With a Hemoglobin Increase of ≥1.5 g/dL From Baseline for ≥14 Days

An erythroid response in NTD participants was defined as a mean hemoglobin increase of ≥1.5 g/dL from baseline for ≥14 days in the absence of blood transfusion. Baseline hemoglobin for NTD participants was the average of two or more measurements performed during the screening period. Hemoglobin measurements within 2 weeks following red blood cell (RBC) transfusion or 56 days after the last dose were excluded from analysis. NTD participants were participants who had received \<4 units of RBCs within 8 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. The percentage of participants with a hemoglobin increase of ≥1.5 g/dL from baseline for ≥14 days is presented.

Time frame: Up to approximately 20 weeks

Percentage of Transfusion Dependent (TD) Participants With a ≥20% Reduction in Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusion Burden From Baseline During a Rolling 12-week Interval

Transfusion burden for TD participants was defined as the ratio of RBC transfusion units (or milliliters) transfused during a 12-week interval divided by the duration of that interval compared to the ratio of RBC transfusion units 12 weeks prior to the start of treatment (baseline). The interval during the pretreatment period was defined as the 12 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. An interval during the treatment plus follow-up period was defined as any 12-week interval after the first dose of study drug. TD participants were participants who had received ≥4 units of RBCs every 8 weeks (confirmed over 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug). The percentage of participants with a ≥20% reduction in RBC transfusion burden from baseline is presented.

Apparent Terminal Rate Constant (Lambda z) of Luspatercept

Blood samples were collected at specified intervals for the determination of apparent terminal rate constant. Apparent terminal rate constant was defined as the amount of luspatercept that was eliminated from the body during a given period of time and was calculated by linear regression of the terminal portion of the log-concentration-time curve in serum. Apparent terminal rate constant was based on non-compartmental analysis.

Time frame: Cycle 1 (21-day cycle): Days 1, 8, 11, and 15; Cycle 2 (21-day cycle): Days 1 and 8; Cycles 4 and 5 (21-day cycles): Days 1, 8, and 15; study follow-up on Days 113, 141, and 169

Population: The analysis population consisted of all participants who received ≥1 dose of luspatercept and who had available data for the analysis of apparent terminal rate constant.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due To an Adverse Event (AE)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a study drug, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study drug whether or not it is considered related to the study drug. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is presented.

Time frame: Up to approximately 12 weeks

Number of Participants Who Experienced a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

DLTs were determined using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE v4.0) and graded as follows: Grade 1=mild; Grade 2=moderate; Grade 3=severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4=life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5=death related to AE. The occurrence of any of the following toxicities occurring up to 28 days after the first dose was considered a DLT: treatment-related serious adverse event (SAE) ≥ Grade 3; treatment related non-hematologic adverse event (AE) ≥ Grade 3; and treatment related hematologic AE ≥ Grade 4. The number of participants who experienced a DLT is presented.

Time To Erythroid Response for Non-transfusion Dependent (NTD) Participants Who Achieved a Hemoglobin Increase ≥1.0 g/dL During a Rolling 12-week Interval by Pooled Dose Groups

Time to erythroid response was defined as the time from first dose to the first date of any rolling 12-week window achieving a hemoglobin increase ≥1.0 g/dL. When there were multiple disjointed intervals with response, the longest interval was used. Participants with response ongoing by analysis cutoff were censored. The time to the first date of any rolling 12-week window achieving a hemoglobin increase ≥1.0 g/dL is presented.

Time frame: Any 12-week interval during the study (up to approximately 20 weeks)

Population: All participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment and received \<4 units of red blood cells (RBCs) within 8 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug and had data available for the analyses. As defined in the clinical study report, the participants with response were pooled into low and high dose groups to reduce the variation of the analyses.
