Evaluating the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Luspatercept Combined With Thalidomide in the Treatment of β-TDT Patients
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.
