Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Hemoglobin (Hb) ResponseBaseline, Week 12 up to Week 24

Hb response is defined as a ≥1.0 gram per deciliter (g/dL) increase in average Hb concentration from Week 12 through Week 24 compared with baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of MitapivatPre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20
Change From Baseline in Average Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT) -Fatigue Subscale Score from Week 12 through Week 24Baseline, Week 12 up to Week 24

The 13-item FACIT-Fatigue subscale assesses severity and impact of fatigue. The subscale has a 7-day recall period, and total score ranges from 0 to 52, with a higher score indicating less fatigue.

Change From Baseline in Average Hb Concentration From Week 12 through Week 24Baseline, Week 12 up to Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Hb 1.5+ ResponseBaseline, Week 12 up to Week 24

Hb 1.5+ response is defined as a ≥1.5 g/dL increase in average Hb concentration from Week 12 through Week 24 compared with baseline.

The PGIS-Fatigue assesses severity of fatigue (on a 4-point scale ranging from "None" to "Severe") over a 7-day recall period. Improvement in the PGIS-Fatigue by at least one category or no change if "None" or "Mild" PGIS-Fatigue response at baseline will be assessed separately at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 compared to baseline.

Percentage of Participants With Improvement in the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) -Fatigue at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24, or "No Change" if No or Mild Fatigue at BaselineWeeks 12, 16, 20, and 24

The PGIC-Fatigue assesses change in fatigue compared with baseline (on a 5-point scale ranging from "Much better" to "Much worse"). Participants reporting improvement in the PGIC-Fatigue or reporting "No change" if "None" or "Mild" PGIS-Fatigue response at baseline will be assessed separately at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24.

Change From Baseline in the 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT) Distance at Week 24Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in Serum Ferritin at Week 24Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) at Week 24Baseline, Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to Week 293

Plasma or Blood Concentrations Over Time for MitapivatPre-dose Week 12; pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20
Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast) of MitapivatPre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20
Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of MitapivatPre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20
Blood Concentration of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)Pre-dose Day 1; pre-dose Week 12; pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7 hours post-dose Week 20
