The purpose of the study is to see if participants with anemia due to their type of MDS or MDS/MPN will experience a more decreased need for regular blood transfusions if they take luspatercept plus best supportive care, and what effect, good and/or bad, luspatercept has on them and their anemia due to MDS or MDS/MPN. The safety and tolerability of luspatercept will also be evaluated in this study.

RECRUITINGRBC Transfusion Independence
RBC transfusion independence (RBC-TI) as defined by IWG 2006 MDS response criteria
Time frame: From start of treatment to up to 18 months
Incidence of treatment related adverse events
To determine the number of participants with treatment related AEs using CTCAE v5
Time frame: From start of treatment to 30 days after the last day of treatment, up to 19 months
Hematological Improvement
Hematological improvement as defined by using IWG 2006 MDS response criteria
Time frame: From start of treatment to up to 18 months
Duration of Response
The duration of response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for RBC TI or HI by IWG 2006 criteria until the first date of loss of response or progressive disease is objectively documented.
Time frame: From start of treatment to up to 18 months
ASC specks changes with response
ASC specks as biomarker of response, investigators will compare mean baseline percentage of ASC specks among responders and non-responders (t-test) and use paired t-test to compare change in mean percentage of ASC specks with treatment among responders and non-responders
Time frame: End of treatment, up to 18 months
