 of transfusion reduction response, where treatment with PYRUKYND® demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in transfusion burden compared to placebo, as 30.4% of patients achieved a transfusion reduction response, compared to 12.6% of patients in the placebo arm (2-sided p=0.0003). Treatment with PYRUKYND® also demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in additional measures of transfusion reduction response compared to placebo as assessed by the three key secondary endpoints: (i) ≥50% reduction in transfused RBC units in any consecutive 24-week period through week 48 compared with baseline, (ii) ≥33% reduction in transfused RBC units from week 13 through week 48 compared with baseline, and (iii) ≥50% reduction in transfused RBC units from week 13 through week 48 compared with baseline. In addition, a higher proportion of patients in the PYRUKYND® arm (9.9%) compared to the placebo arm (1.1%) achieved the secondary endpoint of transfusion independence (transfusion-free for ≥8 consecutive weeks through week 48). The proportion of patients with any treatment-emergent adverse events, or TEAEs, was 90.1% in patients on PYRUKYND® and 83.5% in patients on placebo. The most frequent TEAEs that occurred in at least 10% of patients on PYRUKYND® were headache, upper respiratory tract infection, initial insomnia, diarrhea and fatigue. Serious TEAEs were reported in 11.0% and 15.3% of patients on PYRUKYND® and placebo, respectively; 2.3% and 1.2%, respectively, were considered treatment-related. During the 48-week double-blind period, 5.8% of the patients in the PYRUKYND® arm experienced a TEAE leading to discontinuation compared to 1.2% of patients in the placebo arm. The TEAEs leading to discontinuation of PYRUKYND®, each of which occurred in one patient, were diarrhea, paresthesia oral, concurrent anxiety and insomnia, initial insomnia, supraventricular tachycardia, fatigue, hypertransaminasemia, hepatitis C, hepatic cancer, and renal mass. The TEAE that led to discontinuation of the one patient on placebo was blood creatine phosphokinase increase.

As indicated above, during the
