Official title
A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of Roxadustat (FG-4592) for Treatment of Anemia Due to IPSS-R Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) in Participants With High Red Blood Cell Transfusion Burden
Overview
The study is designed to determine the efficacy and safety of roxadustat for the treatment of anemia due to very low, low, or intermediate risk MDS in participants with high transfusion burden (HTB).
Interventions
- Drug Roxadustat
Roxadustat will be administered per schedule specified in the arm description. - Drug Placebo
Placebo matching to roxadustat will be administered per schedule specified in the arm description.
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of Participants With Red Blood Cell-transfusion Independence (RBC-TI) Over Any Consecutive 56-day Period [Time frame: Week 1 through Week 24]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Percentage of Participants With RBC-TI Over Any Consecutive 84-day Period [Time frame: Week 1 through Week 48 or end of treatment (EOT; up to 5 years)]
- Percentage of Participants With RBC-TI Over Any Consecutive 112-day Period [Time frame: Week 1 through Week 48 or EOT (up to 5 years)]
- Percentage of Participants With ≥50% Reduction in Rate of Total Red Blood Cell (RBC) Units Transfused During a 16-week Period [Time frame: Week 1 through Week 48 or EOT (up to 5 years)]
- Percentage of Participants With RBC-TI Over Any Consecutive 168-day Period [Time frame: Week 1 through Week 48 or EOT (up to 5 years)]
