Abstract

Favorable results were achieved in a phase 3 clinical trial (IMerge) with the telomerase inhibitor imetelstat in transfusion-dependent patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) who relapsed or were refractory to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.1 Imetelstat is likely to become a useful addition to our limited therapeutic options for patients with MDS.
