Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Confirmed diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), according to World Heath Organization or the French-American-British Cooperative Group pathologic classification, with an International Prognostic Scoring System score 0, 0.5, or 1.0, indicating Low- or INT-1-risk disease.
* Documented RBC transfusion of at least 2 units of RBC for the treatment of the anemia of MDS in the 8 weeks preceding the start of the Screening Period.
* Adequate iron stores, demonstrated by either the presence of stainable iron in the bone marrow or a serum ferritin of > 100 ng/mL.
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 2.
* Symptomatic anemia (defined by a score > 0 on the Non-Chemotherapy Anemia Symptom Scale [NCA-SS]).
Minimum age

Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Had treatment with drugs or other agents targeting IL-6 or its receptor within 4 weeks of randomization.
* Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation not in the best interest (eg, compromise the well-being) of the patient or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments.
* Patients with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML).
* Causes other than MDS contributing to anemia, such as Vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, bleeding, hemolysis, hemoglobinopathy, or chronic renal failure.
