The Believe Trial: Results of a Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Luspatercept in Adult Beta-Thalassemia Patients Who Require Regular Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusions

TL;DR: A phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of luspatercept in adult β-thalassemia patients requiring regular RBC transfusions in adults, finding that the drug binds to select TGFβ superfamily ligands to reduce aberrant Smad2/3 signaling and enhance late-stage erythropoiesis.
