Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept vs epoetin alfa in the treatment of anemia in adults due to IPSS-R very low, low, intermediate-risk MDS in ESA-naïve participants who are non-transfusion dependent (NTD).

Number of participants with RBC transfusion independence over at least a consecutive 24-week periodUp to 5 years
Time to TD (IWG 2018 defined as ≥ 3 RBC units/16 weeks) during any continuous 16-week interval until the end of studyUp to 5 years
Duration of median hematologic improvement in erythroid response(mHI-E) in participants with an increase from baseline in mean Hb values of ≥1.5g/dL in any continuous 16-week interval within 96-week treatment period in absence of transfusionUp to Week 96
Number of participants with antidrug antibody (ADA) (positive or negative)Up to Week 102
Number of participants with a neutrophil response at Week 24, Week 48 and Week 96Up to Week 96

Neutrophil response is defined as an absolute increase from baseline of \> 0.5 × 10\^9/L neutrophils at Week 24, Week 48 and Week 96.

Change from baseline in subscales of self-reported health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Anemia (FACT-An)Baseline, Up to 5 years
Change from baseline in self-reported HRQoL assessed by the European quality of life questionnaire 5-dimension (EQ-5D-5L)Baseline, Up to 5 years
PK: Area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC)Up to Week 96
Number of participants with a platelet response at Week 24, Week 48 and Week 96Up to Week 96

Platelet response is defined as an increase from baseline in number of platelets to ≥ 30 × 10\^9/L at Week 24, Week 48 and Week 96.

Time from date of randomization up to death due to any causeUp to 5 years
