N2 - Introduction Membranopathies encompass haemolytic disorders arising from genetic variants in erythrocyte membrane proteins, including hereditary spherocytosis and stomatocytosis. Congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia type II (CDA II) is associated with the SEC23B gene and can exhibit phenotypic similarities to membranopathies. Current treatment options for these conditions, apart from splenectomy, are primarily supportive. Mitapivat, a novel pyruvate kinase (PK) activator, has demonstrated efficacy in increasing haemoglobin levels and reducing haemolysis in patients with PK deficiency, thalassemia, sickle cell disease and a mouse model of hereditary spherocytosis. Methods and analyses Safety and efficacy of mitapivat sulfate in adult patients with erythrocyte membranopathies (SATISFY) is a prospective, multicentre, single-arm phase two trial involving approximately 25 adult patients (≥18 years) diagnosed with a membranopathy or CDA II. During the 8-week dose escalation period, subjects will receive an initial dose of 50 mg mitapivat two times per day and may increase to 100 mg two times per day at week 4 based on the safety and changes in haemoglobin levels. Patients tolerating mitapivat well may be eligible to continue in two consecutive 24-week fixed dose periods. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of mitapivat, assessed through the occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events. Secondary objectives include assessing the effects of mitapivat on haemoglobin levels, haemolysis, erythropoiesis, patient-reported outcome measures and spleen size. SATISFY aims to assess the safety and efficacy of mitapivat in adult patients with red blood cell membranopathies and CDA II, with the aim of establishing proof-of-concept in patients living with these rare conditions.
