Summary

β-thalassemia is one of the most common inherited hemoglobinopathies worldwide and a major public health issue that severely impacts birth quality, human health, and social progress. Currently, there are limited clinical drugs specifically designed to treat patients with β-thalassemia. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of luspatercept combined with low-dose thalidomide compared with luspatercept alone in patients with thalassemia. Key questions to be answered include:

* Does luspatercept combined with low-dose thalidomide reduce the transfusion burden in patients with β-thalassemia major?
* What medical problems may occur when patients receive luspatercept combined with low-dose thalidomide? In this clinical trial, participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either an intervention group (luspatercept combined with low-dose thalidomide) or a control group (luspatercept combined with placebo) using a central randomization system. The clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated. The primary outcome measure was the clinical efficacy of luspatercept combined with low-dose thalidomide in reducing the transfusion burden in patients with β-thalassemia major.

Conditions

  • Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia Patients

Interventions

DRUG

The intervention group was treated with Luspatercept (starting dose level 1.0 mg/kg, once every 21 days) combined with low-dose thalidomide (starting dose level 50 mg/d) for 48 weeks.

DRUG

Luspatercept plus placebo

The control group was treated with Luspatercept (starting dose level 1.0 mg/kg every 21 days) plus placebo (starting dose level 50 mg/d) for 48 weeks.
