CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGIO), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering innovative medicines for patients with rare diseases, today announced financial results and updates for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

"2025 was another year of continued execution across our portfolio, highlighted by the historic U.S. approval of AQVESME – the only medicine approved to treat anemia in adults with non-transfusion-dependent and transfusion-dependent alpha- or beta-thalassemia. The U.S. launch is off to a strong start, with AQVESME now available and earning an enthusiastic response from the thalassemia community," said Brian Goff, Chief Executive Officer, Agios. "In 2026, we are focused on driving a high-impact U.S. launch of AQVESME, expanding our PK activation franchise into additional high-value indications such as sickle cell disease and lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, and advancing our promising early-stage pipeline to further diversify across hematologic and other rare diseases. With disciplined capital allocation and strong operational execution, we are very well positioned at this critical inflection point to deliver a transformative medicine for the thalassemia community and advance our clinical programs as we work toward our goal of becoming a sustainable rare disease company."

Fourth Quarter 2025 and Recent Corporate Highlights

Mitapivat Commercial Performance and Update

• PYRUKYND^® (mitapivat 5 mg, 20 mg, 50 mg)
  • $16.0 million in U.S. net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by continued commercial focus in pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency ahead of the U.S. commercial launch of AQVESME™ (mitapivat) in thalassemia, an additional ordering week in the fourth quarter, and favorable gross-to-net adjustments. This represents an increase of 49 percent from $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a 24 percent increase from $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2025.
  • $4.0 million in ex-U.S. net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by inventory stocking ahead of demand pull-through in Europe for PK deficiency, as patients transition onto commercial supply.
    
    
    
    
• AQVESME™ (mitapivat 100 mg)
  • In December 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved AQVESME as the only medicine for the treatment of anemia in adults with alpha- or beta-thalassemia, regardless of transfusion burden.
  • AQVESME is now available in the U.S. following the implementation of its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program in late January 2026.
    
    

R&D Highlights

• Mitapivat
  • Sickle Cell Disease –
    • Topline results from the RISE UP Phase 3 trial of mitapivat in sickle cell disease were reported in November 2025.
    • Agios will have a pre-supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) meeting with the FDA in the first quarter of 2026 and intends to submit a U.S. marketing application for mitapivat in sickle cell disease following that engagement. The company will provide an update on its regulatory filing strategy following receipt of the meeting minutes.

• Tebapivat
  • Sickle Cell Disease –
    • Agios has completed enrollment for the Phase 2 trial of tebapivat in sickle cell disease, and expects to report topline results in the second half of 2026. This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial is evaluating three tebapivat doses (2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 7.5 mg) versus matched placebo over a 12-week period. The primary endpoint is hemoglobin response, defined as a ≥1.0 g/dL increase in average hemoglobin concentration from Week 10 through Week 12 compared with baseline.
      
      

Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, net loss was $108.0 million dollars, compared to net loss of $96.5 million dollars for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

• Net product revenue from U.S. sales of PYRUKYND for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $16.0 million, compared to $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.
  
  
• Net product revenue from ex-U.S. sales of PYRUKYND for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $4.0 million.
  
  
• Cost of sales for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $1.9 million.
  
  
• Research and Development (R&D) Expenses were $88.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $82.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, associated with the advancement of the company's early-stage clinical programs.
  
  
• Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses were $51.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, which were flat compared to $51.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Agios expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, together with anticipated product revenue and interest income, will provide the financial independence to execute the U.S. commercial launch of AQVESME in thalassemia, prepare for the potential U.S. commercial launch of mitapivat in sickle cell disease, advance the company's existing clinical programs, and opportunistically expand its pipeline through both internally and externally discovered assets.
