Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Adult subjects (18 years of age or older) with low or intermediate-1 IPSS risk MDS and stable disease.\n- Subject is practicing an acceptable method of contraception. Female subjects (or female partners of male subjects) must either be of non-childbearing potential (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or post-menopausal >1 year), or of childbearing potential and use of an highly effective method of contraception from 2 weeks prior to administration of study medication, throughout the study, and 28 days after completion or premature discontinuation from the study.\n- Subjects must have a platelet count taken within the 4 weeks prior to randomization that is <30 Gi/L.\n- Subjects must be ineligible or relapsed or refractory to receive other treatment options (such as azacitidine or lenalidomide) and must be ineligible to receive intensive chemotherapy or autologous/allogeneic stem cell transplantation.\n- Subjects must have platelet count and platelet transfusion data available over a period of 8 weeks prior to randomization.\n- During the 2 months prior to randomization, subjects must have a baseline BM examination which includes cytomorphology and cytogenetics. Histopathology should be performed.\n- Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) in anemic subjects or granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in subjects with severe neutropenia and recurrent infections are allowed during the study as per accepted standards. Subjects who enter the study on ESAs or G-CSF should continue at the same dose schedule until the optimal dose of study medication has been established.\n- ECOG Performance Status 0-3.\n- Subject is able to understand and comply with protocol requirements and instructions.\n- Adequate baseline organ function defined by the criteria below: total bilirubin (except for Gilbert’s Syndrome) ≤ 1.5xULN ALT and AST ≤ 3xULN creatinine ≤ 2xULN albumin must not be below the lower limit of normal by more than 20%."}
