ASCO 2024 | Follow-up from the COMMANDS trial beyond the primary endpoint: luspatercept versus ESA-based therapy
Amer Zeidan, MBBS, Yale University and Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, CT, provides an update on the COMMANDS trial (NCT03682536), comparing luspatercept to epoetin alfa in transfusion-dependent lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS). The study found that 70% of patients in the luspatercept arm achieved transfusion independence, compared to 45% with epoetin alfa, along with reduced transfusion burden and improved hemoglobin levels. This confirms luspatercept’s benefit for this patient population. This interview took place during the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Meeting in Chicago, IL.
