The lead product candidate in our portfolio, PYRUKYND® (mitapivat), is an activator of both wild-type and mutant pyruvate kinase, or PK, enzymes for the potential treatment of hemolytic anemias. PYRUKYND® is approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of hemolytic anemia in adults with PK deficiency in the United States and by the European Commission for the treatment of PK deficiency in adult patients in the European Union, or EU. Additionally, we received marketing authorization in Great Britain for PYRUKYND® for the treatment of PK deficiency in adult patients under the European Commission Decision Reliance Procedure. In December 2024, we announced that we submitted a supplemental new drug application, or sNDA, to the FDA for PYRUKYND® for the treatment of adult patients with non-transfusion dependent and transfusion-dependent alpha- or beta-thalassemia, which was accepted with standard review by the FDA and granted a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, goal date of September 7, 2025. Also in December 2024, we announced that we submitted a marketing authorization application, or MAA, to the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, and regulatory applications to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates health authorities for PYRUKYND® for the treatment of adult patients with non-transfusion dependent and transfusion-dependent alpha- or beta-thalassemia.

The FDA accepted the sNDA and granted a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, goal date of September 7, 2025, which the FDA subsequently extended to December 7, 2025 following our submission of a proposed Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, or REMS, to mitigate the risk of hepatocellular injury that was described in the original sNDA filing. The submission of the REMS is a major amendment to the PYRUKYND® sNDA, resulting in the three-month review extension. The extension was not the result of new or additional efficacy or safety data requested by the FDA or submitted by us.

In November 2023, we announced that we achieved clinical proof-of-concept in the phase 2a portion of the trial. We observed that four of the 10 patients with low transfusion burden achieved the transfusion independence endpoint, and one of the 22 patients achieved the hemoglobin response endpoint in the 16-week treatment period. The safety profile observed was consistent with data reported in the healthy volunteer study of tebapivat. 19 patients elected to enroll in the extension period for up to 156 weeks. We evaluated the phase 2a trial results and assessed the impact of those results on the phase 2b portion of the protocol, and based on the data generated in the phase 2a portion of the trial, we increased the dosage levels evaluated in the phase 2b portion of the trial, which we initiated in the third quarter of 2024. We expect to complete enrollment in this phase 2b trial in late 2025.

In addition to the aforementioned development programs, we are developing AG-181, a PAH stabilizer for the potential treatment of PKU, for which we filed an IND in December 2023. We initiated a phase 1 clinical trial of AG-181 in healthy volunteers in the first quarter of 2024, and initiated the multiple ascending dose portion of the trial in the second quarter of 2025. Also, in July 2023, we entered into a license agreement with Alnylam for the development and commercialization of products containing or comprised of an siRNA preclinical development candidate discovered by Alnylam and targeting the TMPRSS6 gene, and we are developing a product candidate, AG-236, for the potential treatment of patients with PV. We filed an IND with the FDA for AG-236 for the treatment of PV which cleared in June 2025, and we initiated a phase 1 clinical trial evaluating AG-236 in healthy volunteers in July 2025.
