The Effect of Lenalidomide on Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients With Lower-Risk non-del(5q) Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Results From the MDS-005 Study

HRQoL was evaluated among RBC-TD patients with lower-risk non-del(5q) MDS treated with lenalidomide (n = 160) or placebo (n = 79) in the phase 3 MDS-005 study. Lenalidomide did not worsen HRQoL; response to lenalidomide was associated with significant HRQoL improvement. Lenalidomide represents a treatment option for patients with lower-risk non-del(5q) MDS who are ineligible for or refractory to ESAs.
