The incidence of MDS patients identified as eligible for 2nd -line therapy was 3/100,000. Approximately 9,500 people per year in the United States may be candidates for 2nd -line therapy for MDS. The risk of MDS increases with advancing age; approximately 86% of patients with newly diagnosed MDS in the United States are 60 years old (median age, 76 years). Thelansis’s “Myelodys...
