(Nasdaq: AGIO), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering innovative medicines for patients with rare diseases, today announced that it will pursue U.S. accelerated approval for mitapivat, an oral pyruvate kinase (PK) activator, in sickle cell disease, following completion of its pre-supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the pre-sNDA meeting was to present the data from the mitapivat RISE UP clinical program in sickle cell disease, including both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=wcOx5M-C2nvtTg--TeQIJQ0yXR0s7GLJzfOTkbRf2D-9UauzTWaRssSBuFaJoKekw4FQ_gVtiNv0kMFNithhODcUT3qlOA_xde3_hPE-VpxOlfEiMA4CXFlM95TrLyE1OZUWvMSPESZE5cmDbyqXBWScmv7UBlWSWPM-FnsTEEXn8p_F2wW9JS0__YoBqpEVCoXSEy7-3k0nsqBv6aH16Q==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Phase 2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=wcOx5M-C2nvtTg--TeQIJRkOwyq7_PykOtSeygEFQ-dWlCTuBybm7JLkz4J1GZJh4cNmVUoUjQOVK6301xlAyC0IVgzajpY_wk4m5KVXI-Cf2tTnAfW4uasDYVS2xmf5_YBV8ifr7rbo5Kt7fCU-1MR-ymoIGRRSsJOYbeLNOfx6aFwGy8P9nDsI4rywpc-BoKifTl-Q3GpvRWEFa6b1Ow==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Phase 3<\/a> trials. Based on the discussion, the FDA recommended submission of a proposal for a confirmatory clinical trial to support U.S. accelerated approval of mitapivat. The FDA\u2019s accelerated approval pathway expedites the availability of medicines that can fill a medical need for a serious condition, with the requirement of a confirmatory clinical trial to convert to a traditional approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur engagements with the FDA continue to underscore both the unmet need in sickle cell disease and the importance of expeditiously advancing new treatment options for patients living with this complex, debilitating, and deadly disease,\u201d said\u00a0Sarah Gheuens, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&amp;D, Agios. \u201cThe clinically meaningful benefits observed in the RISE UP clinical program, combined with our ongoing, constructive, and collaborative dialogue with the FDA, reinforce our confidence in mitapivat\u2019s potential in sickle cell disease. We are focused on advancing mitapivat as rapidly as possible with the rigor required for potential U.S. accelerated approval.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agios has already submitted its proposal for the required confirmatory clinical trial to the FDA for review. This proposal incorporates a primary endpoint that is different from those in the RISE UP clinical program and is informed by both analyses of RISE UP data and discussions with the FDA. Based on current planning assumptions, the proposed confirmatory clinical trial is not expected to change the company\u2019s previously issued operating expense guidance, which remains approximately flat compared to 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The company plans to submit a mitapivat sNDA for sickle cell disease in the coming months, and is actively working with the FDA to achieve alignment on the confirmatory clinical trial required for submission.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Sickle Cell Disease<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Sickle cell disease is a rare, inherited blood disorder caused by the production of abnormal hemoglobin that disrupts the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. As a result, red blood cells become rigid and sickle-shaped, causing deformation of red blood cell membranes and the premature death of the cells. These effects lead to chronic hemolytic anemia, vaso-occlusion, and a cascade of severe and life-threatening complications, including long-term damage to the lungs, kidneys, and cardiovascular system. Due to its physical toll, sickle cell disease imposes a profound burden on patients and their families, marked by increased healthcare needs and early mortality.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Mitapivat in Sickle Cell Disease<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Mitapivat, an oral pyruvate kinase (PK) activator, is designed to enhance the process by which red blood cells produce energy. This approach has the potential to improve red blood cell health by increasing ATP levels to support increased energy demands and lowering levels of a molecule called 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). In sickle cell disease, increased stress on red blood cells results in elevated levels of 2,3-DPG, which raises the likelihood that red blood cells develop the abnormal \u201csickle\u201d shape that triggers vaso-occlusive crises.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About the RISE UP Phase 3 Trial Topline Results<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The global RISE UP Phase 3 trial (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=aTz7GT3NebOjksZskGVQnfIxPPZw0hVKG3wfkb1S79UD03bWPN9IIhvWT9FuYKmuyGb67BnSmN_RrIp1Y-ESXVrXJOjQc8OEYcQ3JqIV3vwtUsOAZNMnzM2rNOabcxNF\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NCT05031780<\/a>) is evaluating the efficacy and safety of mitapivat in sickle cell disease patients aged 16 years or older, representative of the global population. The trial consisted of a 52-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase, in which 207 participants were randomized 2:1 to receive oral mitapivat (100 mg) twice daily (n=138) or matched-placebo (n=69). Upon completion, participants could transition into an open-label extension phase where all receive mitapivat.<\/p>\n<p>To comprehensively evaluate objective measures of hemolysis alongside other clinically relevant outcomes in sickle cell disease, the double-blind phase of RISE UP included two primary endpoints \u2013 hemoglobin response and annualized rate of sickle cell pain crises \u2013 as well as five key secondary endpoints measuring hemoglobin concentration, indirect bilirubin (a biomarker of hemolysis), patient-reported fatigue, hospitalizations for sickle cell pain crises, and percent reticulocyte levels (a biomarker of erythropoiesis).<\/p>\n<p>Mitapivat demonstrated a statistically significant improvement compared to placebo in the study\u2019s primary endpoint of hemoglobin response, defined as a \u22651.0 g\/dL increase from baseline in average hemoglobin concentration from Week 24 through Week 52. Although mitapivat showed a reduction in the annualized rate of sickle cell pain crises compared with placebo, this primary endpoint did not reach statistical significance. <\/p>\n<p>Patients receiving mitapivat who achieved the hemoglobin response primary endpoint had clinically meaningful improvements in hemoglobin concentration. These patients also experienced other clinically meaningful benefits, including reductions in pain crises and related hospital visits, along with improvements in fatigue.<\/p>\n<p>The safety profile was favorable and consistent with prior mitapivat trials in sickle cell disease. The 52-week double-blind phase was completed by 87.0% (n=120\/138) of patients in the mitapivat arm and 81.2% (n=56\/69) of patients in the placebo arm. All but two of these patients (174\/176) opted to enter the ongoing open-label extension phase of the trial.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Agios: Fueled by Connections to Transform Rare Diseases\u2122<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>At Agios, our vision is to redefine the future of rare disease treatment.
