Could Vitamin B5 help alleviate anaemia in MDS patients?

Vitamin B5 and MDS: Video Presentation The video below features a March 18, 2025, presentation to MDS UK members by Dr. Onima Chowdhury, Dr. Kevin Rouault-Pierre, and their team. They discuss their research into the potential of Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) to boost red blood cell production in MDS patients and the next steps toward clinical application. About the Study In 2023, Dr. Kevin Rouault-Pierre (Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London) and his research team published a groundbreaking study in Science Translational Medicine. Their findings highlighted the potential of Vitamin B5 to improve red blood cell production in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). While this initial research was conducted in the lab, the next phase will focus on patient studies. MDS UK is proud to support this next phase, funding the development of an assay (a range of tests) to measure Vitamin B5 levels in MDS patients—a crucial step toward translating this research into clinical practice.
