A Phase 3 Trial of Luspatercept in Patients with Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia.
BACKGROUND Patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia need regular red-cell transfusions. Luspatercept, a recombinant fusion protein that binds to select transforming growth factor β superfamily ligands, may enhance erythroid maturation and reduce
