Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Transfusion Reduction Response (TRR) Through Week 48
Baseline, through Week 48

TRR is defined as ≥50 percent (%) reduction in transfused red blood cells (RBC) volume (normalized by weight) in any consecutive 12-week period through Week 48 compared with historical RBC transfusion volume (normalized by weight) and standardized to 12 weeks.

Double-blind Period: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Transfusion Reduction Response (TRR)
Double-blind Period: Baseline through Week 48

TRR is defined as ≥50% reduction in transfused red blood cells (RBC) units with a reduction of ≥2 units of transfused RBCs in any consecutive 12-week period through Week 48 compared with baseline transfusion burden standardized to 12 weeks. Baseline transfusion burden standardized to 12 weeks= (12/24) × total number of RBC units transfused during 24-week period before the randomization date for participants randomized and not dosed or the start of study treatment for participants randomized and dosed. Participants withdrawn from the study before Week 12 (Day 85) were considered nonresponders.

Secondary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved TRR2 From Week 13 to Week 24
Baseline, Week 13 through Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved TRR3 From Week 25 to Week 36
Baseline, Week 25 through Week 36
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved TRR4 From Week 37 to Week 48
Baseline, Week 37 through Week 48

MitapivatEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive oral mitapivat twice daily (BID), with dose determined by age and weight, for 48 weeks during the double blind (DB) period. Enrollment is conducted sequentially by age cohort, beginning with the oldest cohort. Cohort 1: 12 to \<18 years Cohort 2: 6 to \<12 years Cohort 3: 1 to \<6 years Participants who complete the DB period may continue receiving mitapivat in the open label extension (OLE) period for up to 144 weeks.
PlaceboPLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants will receive oral placebo matching mitapivat, administered BID, with dosing based on age and weight, for 48 weeks during the DB period. Enrollment is conducted sequentially by age cohort, beginning with the oldest cohort. Cohort 1: 12 to \<18 years Cohort 2: 6 to \<12 years Cohort 3: 1 to \<6 years Participants who complete the DB period may transition to receive mitapivat in the OLE period for up to 144 weeks.
