A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Azacitidine Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care in Subjects With Red Blood Cell Transfusion-dependent Anemia and Thrombocytopenia Due to IPSS Lower-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes.
Description
Brief Summary
Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Azacitidine plus Best Supportive care versus
Placebo and Best Supportive care in subjects with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-dependent
anemia and thrombocytopenia due to International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) lower risk
myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
