“AG-881 is a promising early-stage molecule. We have not included any impact from AG-881 in our outlook through 2022. Data presented in June this year were highly encouraging in gliomas. The dissolution of the Celgene collaboration for AG-881 will allow Agios to develop this compound in gliomas, while retaining sole global rights. Agios is expected to have to pay a small royalty to Celgene if AG-881 becomes commercial.”
