A Study Drug With Potential
Why Study Mitapivat Now
Mitapivat has the potential to improve energy and reduce sickling of red blood cells. The goal of RISE UP is to learn the effectiveness and safety of mitapivat in treating pain crises and anemia. If approved by the FDA, mitapivat will be a new kind of therapy for sickle cell disease.
The mitapivat molecule attaches to an enzyme in the red blood cell responsible for the production of energy. This has the potential to improve energy and reduce sickling of red blood cells.
