“It’s an exciting time at Agios with multiple near-term catalysts that we believe have the potential to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives and create significant shareholder value. With this transaction, we have added significant financial flexibility while retaining long-term value and have identified a partner in Royalty Pharma that shares our excitement about the potential of vorasidenib,” said Brian Goff, chief executive officer at Agios. “This transaction will provide us with the financial independence to prepare for potential PYRUKYND® (mitapivat) launches in thalassemia and sickle cell disease as we build a PK activation franchise with multi-billion-dollar potential, and to opportunistically expand our pipeline through both internally and externally discovered assets.”
