Study AG348-C-007 was a multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with AG-348 in a minimum of 20, with up to 40, participants with pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, who were regularly receiving blood transfusions. The study was composed of two parts. During Part 1, Dose Optimization Period, participants started on a dose of 5 mg AG-348 administered twice daily. Over the course of Part 1 each participant's dose of AG-348 was sequentially increased to 20 mg twice a day, followed by 50 mg twice a day depending on their tolerance. During Part 2, Fixed-Dose Period, participants received AG-348 at their optimized dose from Part 1.

Part 1 (Dose Optimization Period): Participants began by receiving 5 mg orally, BID. Each participant's dose of AG-348 was sequentially increased to 20 mg BID followed by 50 mg BID depending on their response to AG-348 and their tolerance. Part 2 (Fixed Dose Period): Optimized dose determined in Part 1.

Percentage of Participants Achieving a Reduction in Transfusion Burden in Part 2
Reduction in transfusion burden is defined as a ≥33% reduction in the number of RBC units transfused during the Fixed Dose Period standardized to 24 weeks compared with the historical transfusion burden standardized to 24 weeks (Standardized Control Period). The on-study (Fixed Dose Period) transfusion burden was calculated as the total number of transfused RBC units received in the Fixed Dose Period standardized to 24 weeks.
Time frame: From Part 2, Day 1 to Part 2 Week 24
Annualized Number of RBC Units Transfused During the Study
The annualized total number of RBC units transfused during the entire study (both Part 1 and Part 2) is reported. It was calculated as the total number of RBC units transfused up to the end of Fixed Dose Period divided by the total number of days from the first dose date until the end date of Fixed Dose Period × 52.
Time frame: Part 1 Day 1 to Part 2 Week 24
Number of Transfusion Episodes in Part 2
This is the number of transfusion episodes in Part 2. The number of transfusion episodes were standardized to 24 weeks. Transfusions received over up to 3 consecutive days were counted as 1 episode.
Time frame: From Part 2 Day 1 to Part 2 Week 24
Percentage of Transfusion-Free Participants in Part 2
Transfusion-free responders were the participants who were transfusion-free in Part 2.
Time frame: From Part 2 Day 1 to Part 2 Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving Normal Hemoglobin (Hb) Concentrations in Part 2
This is the percentage of participants who achieved hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in the normal range at least once, 8 weeks or more after a transfusion in Part 2.
Time frame: From Part 2 Day 1 to Part 2 Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the study drug. An AE can, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Time frame: Through 4 weeks after last dose (approximately Part 2, Week 31)
