On June 28, 2023, Scientific Education Support hosted a clinical trial club entitled “NCT03194542 trial:​ Luspatercept for the treatment of patients with anemic myelofibrosis.” This live webinar was part of the MPN Hub Clinical Trial Club webinar series, “Novel agents for the treatment of advanced myelofibrosis.”

The webinar reviewed the phase II NCT03194542 trial investigating luspatercept, an activin receptor ligand trap, for the treatment of anemic myelofibrosis. The event was chaired by Jean-Jacques Kiladjian, Université de Paris - Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, FR, who was joined by trial investigator, Aaron Gerds​, Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland, US.

Kiladjian began by outlining the mechanism of action of luspatercept. He highlighted the importance of erythropoiesis, the role of TGF-β superfamily signaling, and how luspatercept reduces SMAD2/3 signaling​.
