OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficacy and safety of luspatercept in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) anemia, and provide reference for clinical medication. METHODS The literature related to luspatercept for MDS anemia in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science were searched by computer, and the search time was from the establishment of the database to January 2024. The quality of literature was evaluated after they were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the single-group rate meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed by using RevMan 5.4 software, and the subgroup analysis was conducted. RESULTS A total of 756 patients in 9 articles were included in this study. The results of meta-analysis showed that the proportion of MDS patients who reached ≥8 weeks of red blood cell transfusion independence (RBC-TI) was 46% after using luspatercept [95%CI (0.28, 0.64), P<0.000 01]. The proportion of MDS patients whose hematological improvement in erythrocyte (HI-E) was 59% [95%CI (0.43, 0.74), P<0.000 01]. Among them, 5 articles reported that the proportion of MDS patients with grade 3-4 adverse reactions was 14% [95%CI (0.07, 0.22), P=0.000 2], and the poor general condition, infection, blood and lymphatic system disease were the common adverse reactions. Subgroup analysis showed that the source of heterogeneity was the blood transfusion burden in the proportion of MDS patients with RBC-TI≥8 weeks, and the source of heterogeneity was the 0931-8356251。revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R) risk grade, SF3B1 mutation status and blood transfusion burden in the proportion of MDS patients with HI-E. Sensitivity analysis showed that the results of this study were stable. CONCLUSIONS Luspatercept can significantly improve blood transfusion dependence, reduce blood transfusion burden and promote hematology improvement in MDS patients. But attention should be paid to the occurrence of grade 3-4 adverse events; adverse events such as poor general condition, infection, blood and lymphatic system diseases are more common.
