PK Deficiency
Data to be presented highlight that long-term treatment with PYRUKYND® in adults with PK deficiency is associated with sustained clinical benefits, including improvements in hemoglobin, iron overload, transfusion burden and patient-reported outcomes. In addition, Agios is presenting data supporting its pediatric PK deficiency program, including characterization of disease complications and co-morbidities in pediatric patients.
