With the molecular "vacuum cleaner" against anemia in senile leukemia
In people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a mostly benign form of senile leukemia, the body produces too few functional blood cells. They suffer from anemia, also known as "anaemia", which can be a precursor to acute leukemia. So far, there have been hardly any treatment options for patients other than regular blood transfusions. The drug luspatercept, which acts like a "vacuum cleaner" in a figurative sense, was able to significantly improve the blood values of those affected in a study by the German MDS study group. The worldwide follow-up study led by Prof. Dr. Uwe Platzbecker has confirmed the effectiveness of the preparation. It was recently published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine
