Summary

This trial is testing a medication called etavopivat to see if it can help treat anemia in adults with certain types of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). These patients have a form of anemia that may not respond well to usual treatments. Etavopivat works by improving the function of red blood cells and is being developed for the treatment of sickle cell disease and other hemoglobin disorders.

Who is the study for?
Adults with low to intermediate risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and anemia can join this trial. They must have less than 5% bone marrow blasts, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use contraception, and cannot have had certain treatments like luspatercept recently. People with severe infections, other cancers within the last two years, significant heart or kidney disease are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Etavopivat's safety and effectiveness in treating anemia for MDS patients who are at very low to intermediate risk. It will include adults who haven't responded well to other treatments or for whom those treatments aren't suitable.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Etavopivat aren't listed here, common ones may include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea or diarrhea, potential liver enzyme changes, fatigue, and possible allergic reactions.

Other Research
Common treatments for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) include erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs), which boost red blood cell production by stimulating the bone marrow, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists, which increase platelet production to reduce bleeding risks. DNA hypomethylating agents, such as azacitidine, work by reversing abnormal DNA methylation patterns, thereby restoring normal function to genes involved in blood cell production. The investigational drug etavopivat (FT-4202), a pyruvate kinase-R (PKR) activator, aims to enhance red blood cell metabolism and improve their survival and function. These treatments are crucial for MDS patients as they address the underlying issues of ineffective hematopoiesis, thereby improving blood counts and reducing the need for transfusions.
