Bristol: Positive Phase 3 results in myelodysplastic syndromes trial

 Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced the COMMANDS study, a Phase 3, open-label, randomized trial evaluating Reblozyl® (luspatercept-aamt), met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in red blood cell transfusion independence (RBC-TI) with concurrent hemoglobin (Hb) increase in the first-line treatment of adult patients with very low-, low- or intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) who require RBC transfusions. This result was based on a pre-specified interim analysis conducted through an independent review committee. Safety results in the trial were consistent with the safety profile of Reblozyl previously demonstrated in the MEDALIST study (NCT02631070), and no new safety signals were reported.
