Brief summary

Study AG348-C-003 is a multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different dose levels of AG-348 (mitapivat) in participants with PK deficiency.

Detailed description

This is a Phase 2, open label, two arm, multicenter, randomized, dose-ranging study during which adult participants with PK deficiency will receive multiple doses of AG-348 for up to 24 weeks (Core Period); eligible participants may enter an Extension Period to receive AG-348 for up to 8 additional years. Data will be reviewed on a regular basis and study design, dose and schedule will be adapted based on these reviews. The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of AG-348, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of AG-348 and early indicators of clinical efficacy.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants took part in the study across multiple study sites in 6 countries from 26 June 2015 to 02 April 2025.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 52 participants were enrolled in the Core Period of the study. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive AG-348 50 mg or AG-348 300 mg. Participants who completed the 24-week Core Period, had clinical activity, and tolerated the AG-348 dose entered the Extension Period for up to 102 months.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
AG-348 50 mg BID
Participants with PK deficiency received AG-348, 50 mg, as initial dose, BID for 24 weeks (Core Period). Participants were assigned to initial doses, however, over the course of the Core Period were treated across a range of doses due to treatment emergent AEs and Hb levels exceeding mid-point of sex-adjusted ranges. At the Week 24 visit, Core Period participants who had safely tolerated AG-348 and demonstrated clinical activity in response to AG-348 were potentially eligible to immediately roll over to the Extension Period for continued treatment. If participants chose not to enroll, they were followed up to four weeks after the last dose of AG-348.
