Anaemic Patients With MDS Benefit From Erythropoietin, Myeloid Growth Factor Hormones

 The phase 3 prospective, randomised trial, conducted by research teams of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EPO with or without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and supportive care (SC) with red blood cell transfusions for patients with early-stage MDS (n = 53), in comparison with supportive care alone (n = 57).
