Real-World Data from Italy: Luspatercept Shows Promise in Transfusion-Dependent Beta-Thalassemia
Mostafa Faisal, associate professor of Adult Hematology and BMT, recently shared a post on use of Luspatercept on X:
”Luspatercept for Transfusion-Dependent Beta-Thalassemia: Real-World Experience in a Large Cohort of Patients From Italy – The American Journal of Hematology.”

Following the approval of the drug in the U.S. and Europe—based on the findings of the randomized, placebo-controlled phase III BELIEVE trial—there remained a need to generate robust real-world evidence on its effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in routine clinical settings.
To address this, the impact of luspatercept treatment in a cohort of 231 individuals with TDT was assessed.
Published in the American Journal of Hematology, this new study presents one of the largest real-world cohorts examining the use of the drug in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) across Italy.
