First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study offers continued access to the drug mitapivat for adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency who completed an earlier Agios-sponsored trial and cannot get the drug commercially. Only 6 participants are enrolled, and the main goal is to monitor side effects. The study does not test new treatments but ensures those who benefited can keep taking mitapivat.
