Results from the RISE UP (phase 2) trial showed:

• Treatment with mitapivat demonstrated a statistically significant increase in hemoglobin response rate compared to placebo. Hemoglobin response was defined as an increase of ≥1 g/dL in average hemoglobin concentrations from Week 10 through Week 12 compared with baseline.
• 46.2% of patients (n=12) in the 50 mg twice daily (BID) mitapivat arm and 50.0% of patients (n=13) in the 100 mg BID mitapivat arm achieved a hemoglobin response.
• There were no adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation.

These results support proceeding with the Phase 3 part of the study. This is expected to enrol 198 patients, beginning in Oct-Dec 2023, reporting data in 2025 and receiving FDA approval in 2026.
