News provided by Scientific Education Support on Wednesday 13th Apr 2022



Press release: Available for immediate release

The MDS Hub, run by Scientific Education Support (SES) in partnership with the European LeukemiaNet (ELN), is an open-access online resource dedicated to providing balanced, reliable, and up-to-date medical education in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). During Q1 of 2022, the MDS Hub continued to share latest advancements related to MDS, including updates from ongoing clinical trials and information on cutting-edge discoveries in treatments and therapeutic regimens.

In March, the MDS Hub provided extensive coverage of the 48th Annual Meeting of the EBMT through live social media updates, expert interviews, and summary articles. This coverage contributed to the hub receiving over 7,200 views and 1,200 visitors during Q1. The impact of our coverage on social media was also evident, with our social channels receiving over 20,000 impressions during the quarter.

During Q1 of 2022, we also produced two visual abstracts: the first presented key data from a study evaluating lenalidomide and eltrombopag for treating symptomatic anemia in patients with low- or intermediate-risk MDS; and the second summarized data from the AZALENA trial, investigating azacitidine, lenalidomide, and donor lymphocyte infusion as salvage therapy for MDS, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and secondary AML after allo-HSCT.

Reviewing the MDS Hub’s impact this quarter, Claire Aukim-Hastie, Director of Scientific Services, Scientific Education Support, said:

“During this quarter, we attended the 48th Annual Meeting of the EBMT and updated our audience with advancements in the field of MDS. Some of the key areas that we covered included autologous immune cells in cellular therapy, protective donor genotypes, graft-versus-host disease, conditioning, and pediatrics. Our comprehensive coverage gives those who are unable to attend the conference instant updates and key insights into the latest research and treatment methods for MDS.

“As part of our commitment to continuously enhance the hub’s user experience, we have introduced new digital innovations, including learning objectives and interactive quizzes to test a user’s knowledge before and after viewing our content. We have also updated the hub with Google Translate, and as a result, the hub’s content can now be translated into 100 different languages, which will further enhance our global coverage and help us reach new audiences.

“We would like to take this opportunity to show our gratitude for our expert steering committee and existing supporters—Novartis, Bristol Myers Squibb, Janssen Oncology, Geron, and Takeda—without whom this continued activity would not be possible.”

About myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) refer to a group of hematopoietic disorders that result in the production of insufficient numbers of healthy blood cells, along with changes in bone marrow morphology and, eventually, overall failure of the bone marrow. Progression of MDS can be indolent or aggressive, and some patients may go on to develop acute myeloid leukemia.

About the MDS Hub

The MDS Hub is an open-access online resource, dedicated to providing balanced, credible, and up-to-date medical education in MDS. Our aim is to enhance knowledge of MDS through the multichannel dissemination of global advances related to their classification, diagnosis, treatment, and management.

The MDS Hub shares new data, evidence-based articles, therapy approvals, expert opinions, and international congress coverage to treatment teams and researchers around the world. Informed by patients, curated by world leaders, and endorsed by expert societies, the MDS Hub supports HCPs worldwide.

Founded in partnership with the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) in 2020, the MDS Hub is guided by an international steering committee of experts in the field of MDS. The steering committee meet regularly to discuss the performance of the MDS Hub and to devise action plans on how best to support the MDS community and address any unmet educational needs.
