Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusion Independence for ≥ 56 Days

The Efficacy and Safety of Oral Azacitidine Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Placebo and Best Supportive Care in Subjects With Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusion-Dependent Anemia and Thrombocytopenia Due to International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) Low Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) · Source last updated 2025-01-07

Results reported by the registry submitting party. Population, time horizon, units and missing values must be read together.

Measure: NUMBER
Unit: Percentage of Participants
Interval / dispersion: 95% Confidence Interval
Time frame: Each participant was assessed for at least 56 days or more; from the date of randomization of study drug up to the data cut-off date of 25 January 2019, approximately 5 months.

What was measured

RBC transfusion (tfx) independence was defined as the absence of any RBC transfusion during any consecutive "rolling" 56 days within the treatment period. Participants who did not receive any RBC transfusion during a consecutive rolling 56 days (i.e., day 1 to day 56, day 2 to day 57) were considered as a 56-day RBC transfusion independent responder.

Analysis population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all participants who were randomized, regardless of whether they received treatment or not.

Groups in this outcome

Oral Azacitidine and Best Supportive Care

Participants received 300 mg oral azacitidine tablets daily on days 1 to 21 of each 28-day treatment cycle and BSC included and was not limited to pRBC (packed red blood cell \[pRBC\] and whole blood), platelet transfusions (single donor or pooled donor), antibiotic, antiviral and/or antifungal therapy, nutritional support, and granulocyte colony stimulating factors (G-CSF) for participants who experienced neutropenic fever/infections.

Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care

Participants received identically matching placebo tablets QD on days 1 to 21 of each 28-day treatment cycle and BSC which included but was not limited to, pRBC and whole blood, platelet transfusions (single donor or pooled donor), antibiotic, antiviral and/or antifungal therapy, nutritional support, and G-CSF for participants who experienced neutropenic fever/infections.
