Agios reports Q3 2026 results, revenue jumps and FDA extends sickle‑cell review

Agios Pharmaceuticals announced third‑quarter 2026 net revenue of $55.4 million, a more than four‑fold increase from the same quarter a year earlier, driven by U.S. demand for AQVESME in thalassemia. The company posted a net loss of $65.0 million, narrower than the $103.4 million loss in Q3 2025. The FDA moved the PDUFA decision date for the mitapivat sickle‑cell disease supplemental NDA to February 1 2027.

The sharper loss and strong cash balance of $907.0 million give Agios runway to fund commercial launches and its target of non‑GAAP profitability in 2028 (source 2). The FDA’s extension pushes back potential revenue from a sickle‑cell indication to 2027, affecting timing of future growth (source 9).
