Brief Summary

Study AG348-C-007 was a multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with AG-348 in a minimum of 20, with up to 40, participants with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, who were regularly receiving blood transfusions. The study was composed of two parts. During Part 1, Dose Optimization Period, participants started on a dose of 5 mg AG-348 administered twice daily. Over the course of Part 1 each participant's dose of AG-348 was sequentially increased to 20 mg twice a day, followed by 50 mg twice a day depending on their tolerance. During Part 2, Fixed-Dose Period, participants received AG-348 at their optimized dose from Part 1.

Conditions

Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency; Anemia, Hemolytic

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

AG-348

Participants received AG-348 tablets, administered orally, at a starting dose of 5 milligrams (mg), twice daily (BID), followed by two sequential dose level increases to 20 mg and 50 mg BID, for a period of 16 weeks in Part 1. This was followed by optimized dose BID, as determined by the investigator in Part 1, for a period of 24 weeks in Part 2.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

AG-348

Intervention Type: DRUG

Part 1 (Dose Optimization Period): Participants began by receiving 5 mg orally, BID. Each participant's dose of AG-348 was sequentially increased to 20 mg BID followed by 50 mg BID depending on their response to AG-348 and their tolerance.

Part 2 (Fixed Dose Period): Optimized dose determined in Part 1.

• History of a minimum of 6 transfusion episodes in the 52-week period prior to date of informed consent;
• Complete records of transfusion history for the 52 weeks prior to the date of informed consent, including all transfusion dates, number of blood units transfused for all the transfusions, and Hb concentrations within 1 week prior to transfusion for at least 80% of the transfusions;
• Have received at least 0.8 mg of oral folic acid daily for at least 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug, to be continued daily during study participation;
• Have adequate organ function;
• Negative serum pregnancy test for women of reproductive potential;
• For women of reproductive potential as well as fertile men and their partners who are women of reproductive potential: be abstinent or agree to use 2 forms of contraception, 1 of which must be considered highly effective, from the time of giving informed consent, during the study, and for 28 days following the last dose of AG-348;
• Willing to comply with all study procedures, in particular the individual transfusion trigger (TT) calculated based on 52 weeks of transfusion history, for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

• Homozygous for the R479H mutation or have 2 non-missense mutations, without the presence of another missense mutation, in the PKLR gene;
• Significant medical condition that confers an unacceptable risk to participate in the study, and/or that could confound the interpretation of the study data;
• History of transfusions occurring on average more frequently than once every 3 weeks during the 52 weeks prior to date of informed consent;
• Splenectomy scheduled during the study treatment period or have undergone splenectomy within 12 months prior to signing informed consent;
• Currently enrolled in another therapeutic clinical trial. Prior participation in the PK Deficiency Natural History Study (NHS) (NCT02053480) or PK Deficiency Registry is permitted;
• Exposure to any investigational drug, device, or procedure within 3 months prior to the first dose of study drug;
• Prior bone marrow or stem cell transplant;
• Currently pregnant or breastfeeding;
• History of major surgery within 6 months of signing informed consent;
• Currently receiving medications that are strong inhibitors of CYP3A4, strong inducers of CYP3A4, strong inhibitors of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), or digoxin (a P-gp sensitive substrate medication) that have not been stopped for a duration of at least 5 days or 5 times their half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to start of study drug;
• Currently receiving hematopoietic stimulating agents (eg, erythropoietins [EPOs], granulocyte colony stimulating factors, thrombopoietins) that have not been stopped for a duration of at least 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug;
• History of allergy to sulfonamides if characterized by acute hemolytic anemia, drug induced liver injury, anaphylaxis, rash of erythema multiforme type or Stevens-Johnson syndrome, cholestatic hepatitis or other serious clinical manifestations;
• Allergy to AG-348 or its excipients;
• Currently receiving anabolic steroids, including testosterone preparations, within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
