Mitapivat-Associated Rib Fracture in a Hemolytic Anemia Patient. [PDF]
Hereditary hemolytic anemia associated with pyruvate kinase deficiency is a rare hematological disorder that affects the glycolic pathway within red blood cells. The standard of care includes splenectomy, transfusions, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Long-term mitapivat treatment is safe and efficacious in patients with sickle cell disease. [PDF]
In a phase 1 open-label study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04000165), mitapivat, a pyruvate kinase (PK) activator that is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating anemia of PK deficiency, showed promise as a disease-modifying therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD).

Right in time: Mitapivat for the treatment of anemia in α- and β-thalassemia
Kuo and colleagues1 evaluated the safety and efficacy of mitapivat, an oral pyruvate kinase activator, in adults with non-transfusion-dependent α-thalassemia or β-thalassemia. The high rate of hemoglobin response and good tolerability encourages further development in thalassemia.

Background: In thalassemia, ATP production in erythroid cells is too low to meet the demand of oxidative stress and ensuing cellular damage; this leads to ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) and chronic hemolytic anemia.

Gene therapy is revolutionizing treatment paradigms for haemoglobinopathies, establishing a translational framework for disorders that impact red blood cell development. In their paper, Joshi et al. describe the preclinical and early clinical landscape of gene therapies for non‐haemoglobinopathy erythroid disorders and highlight common thematic ...
