What was measured

The TranQol is a self-administered quality of life tool developed for beta-thalassemia patients. The adult self-report version used in this study, includes 36 questions assessed on a 5-point response, that are grouped into 5 domains (Physical Health, Emotional Health, Sexual Health, Family Functioning, School/Career Functioning). Scores are calculated according to specific scoring algorithms developed by the authors. Both individual domains score and the total score range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). Total Score and Physical Health domain score are reported. Positive change from baseline values indicate improvement.

Analysis population: All randomized participants with an evaluable TranQoL questionnaire at screening visit and at least one post-screening visit

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
