Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main aim of this study is to learn how safe elritercept is and how well adults with anemia associated with lower-risk MDS tolerate treatment with different doses of elritercept. Other aims are to learn how safe elritercept is by looking at how many participants have MDS that worsens during the study and learn about the effects of elritercept on anemia linked to MDS. The study will also look to learn how elritercept affects the production of healthy RBCs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Elritercept (KER-050) is a recombinant fusion protein being studied to increase red blood cell production by inhibiting the signaling of a subset of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) family of proteins.
