In the third quarter of 2024, Agios Pharmaceuticals reported significant progress, including the completion of patient enrollment for its Phase 3 RISE UP study of Mitapivat for sickle cell disease and the initiation of a Phase 2b study of Tebapivat for lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS). They also received $1.1 billion in payments following the FDA approval of Vorasidenib, enhancing their cash position to $1.7 billion.
Agios reported $9.0 million in net revenue for their PYRUKYND® therapy, marking a 4% increase from the previous quarter.
