Summary

This study tests if luspatercept is better than epoetin alfa at preventing the need for blood transfusions in adults with a certain type of low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have anemia but haven't needed transfusions yet. About 360 participants will receive one of the two drugs for up to 96 weeks. The goal is to see which drug better controls anemia and delays the need for transfusions.
