A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Mitapivat in Pediatric Participants With Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency (PKD) Who Are Regularly Transfused, Followed by a 5-Year Extension Period
NCT05144256 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
ACTIVATE-KidsT (AG348-C-022) is a multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with mitapivat compared with placebo in pediatric participants with pyruvate kinase deficiency (PK deficiency) who are regularly receiving blood transfusions. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to receive either mitapivat or matching placebo. Randomization will be stratified by age (1 to \< 6 years, 6 to \< 12 years, 12 to \< 18 years) and splenectomy status. Participants will be dosed by age and weight during a double-blind period consisting of an 8-week dose titration period followed by a 24-week fixed-dose period. Participants who complete the double-blind period will be eligible to receive mitapivat in the open-label extension (OLE) period.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05144256
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05144256 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 49 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Agios Pharmaceuticals, which has 15 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Pediatric Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Mitapivat is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05144256 reports 20 study locations spanning 13 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Other, Texas, Arizona. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
