NCT ID NCT03481738

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is a global registry that will follow about 500 people with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, a rare inherited anemia, for up to 9 years. Researchers will collect medical data to better understand the disease's natural history, treatments, and complications. No new drugs or procedures are being tested—this is purely an information-gathering effort to improve future care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could provide crucial insights into how PK deficiency progresses and how best to manage it, potentially guiding future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It collects data only, so it won't directly improve health. Results depend on consistent data reporting and may take years to yield meaningful conclusions.
Why investors are watching

Agios Pharmaceuticals is running a global registry that will follow 500 people with pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare inherited blood disorder, for up to 9 years. This registry does not test a drug, but it collects real-world data on how the disease progresses and how patients are treated. For a small company whose main product targets this same disease, this data could help shape future drug development and support regulatory discussions.

If it works: A well-run registry could give Agios a deeper understanding of the disease's natural history, which may help design better clinical trials or strengthen evidence for its existing treatment. It could also position the company as a leader in the PK deficiency field.

If it fails: The registry is observational and has no treatment endpoint, so it may produce no direct commercial result. If enrollment is slow or data quality is poor, the registry could fail to deliver useful insights, and the company would have spent years and resources without a clear payoff.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants of all ages with a confirmed diagnosis of PK deficiency via genetic testing are eligible to enroll; * Participants will be considered for enrollment on the basis of clinical features consistent with PK deficiency together with the presence of 2 or more PKLR gene mutations. For novel or indeterminate PKLR gene mutations, participants will be deemed eligible if, in the opinion of the investigator, the reported PKLR gene mutations are sufficient to support a diagnosis of PK deficiency; * The participant or the parent/guardian of the participant must be willing and able to give written informed consent and/or assent. E-consent or remote consent may be utilized where permissible as applicable if country regulations and site policies allow.
