Ph 2b Trial of Tebapivat in Lower-Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes did not meet predefined threshold to support further development 

“The results from the Phase 2b trial underscore the biological complexity of lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes and the challenges of identifying patients most likely to benefit. On behalf of the entire Agios team, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to the patients, caregivers, investigators, and broader community who made this research possible,” said Sarah Gheuens, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D, Agios. “PK activation remains a clinically validated mechanism, and we continue to see significant potential for tebapivat as a next-generation medicine in sickle cell disease. We look forward to sharing topline data from this Phase 2 trial in the second half of 2026.”
