• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is a dose and schedule finding study of AMG 531 designed to assess the activity of AMG 531 to reduce the rate of clinically significant bleeding and blood transfusions in subjects with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) receiving lenalidomide.
