Today, Agios Pharmaceuticals announced that the US FDA has accepted the new drug application (NDA) submitted by the company for mitapivat for the treatment of adult patients with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency
Pyruvate kinase deficiency is a rare genetic disease that manifests as chronic hemolytic anemia due to the accelerated destruction of red blood cells
Mitapivat is a potential "first-in-class" PKR allosteric activator

This application is supported by two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials, ACTIVATE and ACTIVATE-T
In December last year, Agios announced that mitapivat had also reached the primary endpoint in the Phase 3 clinical trial ACTIVATE in adult patients with pyruvate kinase deficiency who do not require regular blood transfusions
