What Is Reblozyl?
Reblozyl, also known by its generic name “luspatercept,” is a prescription drug used to treat symptoms of anemia (low red blood cell counts) in adult patients suffering from blood disorders such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and beta-thalassemia.
Reblozyl belongs to the drug class of “erythroid maturation agents” (EMA) that works to improve the erythropoiesis process (a process involved in the production of mature red blood cells). In other words, it works by creating more mature, working red blood cells (RBCs) and allows immature cells to mature and work the correct way. This improves the quality of RBCs and increases the amount of hemoglobin (Hgb) in the body, resulting in the improvement of anemia because there are more mature RBCs in the bloodstream. Reblozyl is the only drug of this class that is FDA-approved for treating anemia in adult patients who require regular red blood cell (RBC) transfusions or whose anemia does not respond well to other erythroid maturation agents.
Reblozyl can only be obtained through a doctor’s prescription and is available in single-dose vials for injection purposes in two different strengths: 25 mg and 75 mg.
What Is Reblozyl Used To Treat?
Reblozyl has been approved as a first-class therapy to treat anemia associated with the following blood disorders in adults:
- Beta thalassemia – a rare type of inherited blood disorder in which patients either have missing or defective genes that make beta globin protein. This protein is a component of hemoglobin protein present in RBCs which carries oxygen around the body. When you have thalassemia, your body is making less hemoglobin than normal, and it can result in mild or severe anemia. When hemoglobin levels are low, it can cause muscle weakness, fatigue, and many more serious complications. Reblozyl is indicated in adult patients with beta thalassemia who require regular RBC transfusions.
- Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) – a group of cancers in which immature blood-forming cells in the bone marrow do not develop (mature) or become healthy functional cells. The most common cells affected by MDS are red blood cells. When immature cells do not work the way that they should, this leaves less room for healthy white blood cells (WBCs), RBCs, and platelets to form in the bone marrow. Anemia, infection, or easy bleeding can occur as a result of fewer healthy blood cells.
