- Proportion of Participants with Complete Remission (CR) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]The CR rate is the proportion of participants who reach morphologic CR based on Investigator-assessed International Working Group (IWG) 2006 Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) criteria prior to initiation of any new MDS therapy including stem cell therapy (SCT).
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]OS is defined as the length measured from randomization to the date of death from any cause.
- Duration of CR [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The duration of CR is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for CR to the first date of relapse or death, whichever occurs earlier. Those who are not observed to relapse or die will be censored at their last response assessment date with evidence of no relapse. Participants who achieve a CR and then proceed to an allogeneic SCT will continue to be followed for the response assessment post transplant, will be included in the analysis of duration of CR, and will not be censored at the time of transplant.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]ORR is the proportion of participants who reach objective response including CR, partial response (PR), marrow CR, or hematologic improvement per IWG 2006 MDS criteria prior to initiation of any new anticancer therapy for MDS, including SCT.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]DOR is measured from the time measurement criteria are first met for objective response to the first date of relapse, disease progression or death, whichever occurs earlier. Those who are not observed to relapse, disease progress or die will be censored at their last response assessment date with evidence of no relapse/no disease progression. Participants who achieve a response and then proceed to an allogeneic SCT will continue to be followed for the DOR post transplant, will be included in the analysis of DOR, and will not be censored at the time of transplant.
- Red Blood Cell (RBC) Transfusion Independence Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The RBC transfusion independence rate is the proportion of participants who have a 56-day or longer period with no RBC transfusions at any time between randomization and initiation of any new anticancer therapy, including SCT, among all participants who are RBC transfusion-dependent at baseline.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The length of PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of documented disease progression (including treatment failure by IWG criteria or relapse after PR/CR), or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Those who are not observed to have one of these events will be censored at their last response assessment date with evidence of no disease progression/relapse.
- Event Free Survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The length of EFS is defined as the time from randomization to transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who are not observed to have one of these events during the study will be censored at their last response assessment date with evidence of no transformation to AML.
- Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)-negative Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]The MRD-negative response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a morphologic CR or marrow CR based on Investigator-assessed IWG criteria and reach MRD-negative disease status prior to initiation of any new anticancer therapy, including SCT. MRD-negative disease status will be assessed using a multiparameter flow cytometry-based assay performed by a central laboratory.
- Time to Transformation to AML [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]Time to transformation to AML is defined as the time from randomization to the collection date of bone marrow sample leading to documented AML diagnosis. Participants who are not observed to have transformation to AML will be censored at their last response assessment date with evidence of no AML diagnosis.
- Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
- Serum Concentration of Magrolimab [ Time Frame: Up to 12 hours before administration of any treatment at Days 1, 8, 15, 22 of Cycle1; at Day 1 of Cycles 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 13, and End of Treatment (± 7 Days after last study drug dose); Cycle length is 28 Days ]Pretreatment assessments for the initial dose may be collected up to 72 hours before administration of study treatment; thereafter, pretreatment assessments are to be collected within 24 hours prior to study treatment administration.
- Anti-magrolimab Antibody Positivity Occurrence Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 72 hours before administration of any treatment at Day 1, Cycle 1; within 24 hours prior to any study drug administration at Day 1 of Cycles 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 13 and End of Treatment (± 7 Days after last study drug dose); Cycle length is 28 Days ]
- Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Anemia (FACT-Anemia) Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
The FACT-Anemia response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who showed clinically meaningful improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on the score from the FACT-Anemia instrument prior to initiation of any new anticancer therapy for MDS, including SCT.
The FACT-Anemia instrument consists of 5 subscales, including physical well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being, social well-being, and anemia symptoms. Each subscale measures items on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 to 4, where 0 = not at all and 4 = very much.
