CERO Opportunities in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) • HMAs (azacitidine/decitabine) remain the only approved disease - modifying therapies in higher - risk MDS • The VERONA trial did not demonstrate an overall survival benefit for venetoclax added to HMAs • Observed transfusion independence (e.g., patient #2) represents an early, clinically meaningful signal that supports further evaluation in MDS 13
