Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single center, single-arm, phase 2 study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Luspatercept for Patients with Lower-risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS).

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Luspatercept open-label, single-arm |
Drug: Luspatercept
The starting dose is 1.75mg/kg once every 3 weeks by subcutaneous injection. For rapid hemoglobin rise after 2 consecutive doses at the 1.75mg/kg starting dose, decrease the dose of Luspatercept or interrupt treatment. Otherwise, continue treatment with the dose of 1.75mg/kg once every 3 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of subjects achieving hematologic improvement - erythroids (HI-E) according to IWG 2006 criteria [within 12 weeks]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of subjects achieving RBC-TI according to IWG 2006 criteria [within 12 weeks]
- Median time to HI-E or RBC-TI [within 12 weeks]
- Mean change in serum ferritin [within 12 weeks]
- Incidence of the adverse event [within 12 weeks]
Use Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5 to assess the adverse event.
