What was measured

Percentage of participants who achieved a red blood cell (RBC) transfusion burden reduction from baseline ≥ 33% with a reduction of at least 2 units during Weeks 37 - 48 compared to the 12-week interval on or prior to Dose 1 Day 1.

Analysis population: All randomized participants

Groups in this outcome

Luspatercept + BSC

Luspatercept (ACE-536) was administered subcutaneously (SC) at a starting dose level of 1 mg/kg once every 21 days. Participants could be dose-titrated to 1.25 mg/kg, but the maximum total dose should not exceed 120 mg, total dose per administration during the Treatment Period, the Long-term Treatment Period, and Open-Label Treatment Period. BSC = Best Supportive Care

Placebo + BSC

Placebo (normal saline) was administered subcutaneously (SC) in volumes to match active treatment once every 21 days. BSC = Best Supportive Care

    group Description
    Odds ratio 95% CIs, and p-value were estimated from the CMH test stratified by the geographical regions defined at randomization. To control the overall Type 1 error rate for outcomes 2-4, the testing procedure was implemented strictly in order: the test for this outcome was only conducted when there was evidence showing that erythroid response was achieved in the luspatercept group from Week 13 to Week 24 (primary endpoint).
