Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Part A : Dose-finding study
To determine the optimal dose level in terms of both toxicity and efficacy for luspatercept + EPO
Part B : Benefit of the association over the monotherapy
To determine, at Week 25, the superiority and efficacy of luspatercept + ESA over luspatecept alone
Secondary outcomes
Response rate
To determine the response rate (complete response (CR) +Partial Response (PR) + stable disease with Hematological Improvment (HI) according to IWG 2006 criteria) in each arm
Response duration
Duration of response ends with date loss of response, relapse or death whichever occurs first
Overall survival
Overall survival time ends for patients who die during the follow up period with the date of death and for patients who do not die during the follow up period with the date when the patient was last seen to be alive
