This purpose of this study is to establish proof of concept of tebapivat in participants with LR-MDS in Phase 2a and to evaluate the effect of tebapivat on transfusion independence (TI) in participants with LR-MDS in phase 2b.

Inclusion criteria
Phase 2a
At least 18 years of age at the time of providing informed consent;
Documented diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification (Arber et al, 2016), that meets Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) classification of lower-risk disease (risk score: ≤3.5) and <5% blasts as determined by the participant's bone marrow biopsy/aspirate during the Screening Period;
Nontransfused or with low transfusion burden (LTB), based on transfusion history from the participant's medical record, according to revised International Working Group (IWG) 2018 criteria:
A hemoglobin (Hb) concentration <11.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) during the 4-week Screening Period;
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2;
If taking iron chelation therapy, the iron chelation therapy dose must have been stable and started ≥56 days before administration of the first dose of study drug;
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must be abstinent of sexual activities that may result in pregnancy as part of their usual lifestyle or agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from the time of providing informed consent, throughout the study, and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug; if the highly effective method of contraception is hormonal contraception, then an acceptable barrier method must also be used. Men with partners who are WOCBP must be abstinent of sexual activities that may result in pregnancy as part of their usual lifestyle or agree to use a condom from the time of providing informed consent throughout the study and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug;
Written informed consent from the participant before any study-related procedures are conducted and willing to comply with all study procedures for the duration of the study.
Phase 2b
At least 18 years of age at the time of providing informed consent;
Documented diagnosis of MDS according to WHO classification (Arber et al, 2016), that meets IPSS-R classification of lower-risk disease (risk score: ≤3.5) and <5% blasts as determined by the participant's bone marrow biopsy/aspirate during the Screening Period;
With LTB, or high transfusion burden (HTB), based on transfusion history from the participant's medical record, according to revised IWG 2018 criteria:
If a participant's transfusion burden does not fall into either the LTB or HTB category, as defined per IWG 2018 criteria, then the transfusion burden will be categorized based on their transfusion history in the 16-week period before administration of the first dose of study drug.
Pretransfusion Hb concentration available for a minimum of 2 and at least half (50%) of the transfusions received in the 16-week period before administration of the first dose of study drug
A Hb concentration <10.0 g/dL during the 4-week Screening Period;
Up to 2 prior therapies including erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) (eg, erythropoietin [EPO], EPO + granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF]) and/or luspatercept;
ECOG Performance Status score of 0, 1, or 2;
If taking iron chelation therapy, the iron chelation therapy dose must have been stable and started ≥56 days before administration of the first dose of study drug;
WOCBP must be abstinent of sexual activities that may result in pregnancy as part of their usual lifestyle or agree to use a highly effective, from the time of providing informed consent throughout the study and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug; if the highly effective method of contraception is hormonal contraception, then an acceptable barrier method must be used. Men with partners who are WOCBP must be abstinent of sexual activities that may result in pregnancy as part of their usual lifestyle or agree to use a condom from the time of providing informed consent throughout the study and for 28 days after the last dose of study drug;
Written informed consent from the participant before any study-related procedures are conducted and willing to comply with all study procedures for the duration of the study.
Exclusion criteria
Phase 2a

Currently receiving treatment with ESAs±G-CSF and/or luspatercept. Treatment with ESAs±G-CSF must have been stopped for ≥28 days before administration of the first dose of study drug; treatment with luspatercept must have been stopped for ≥65 days before administration of the first dose of study drug;
