Experimental: Cohort 1
Participants who received placebo in Study AG348-C-006 will enroll in Cohort 1. Part 1 (Dose Optimization Period, 12 weeks): Participants will begin by receiving 5 milligrams (mg) orally, twice a day. Each participant's dose of AG-348 may be increased to 20 mg twice a day and then to 50 mg twice a day depending on their response to AG-348 and tolerability. Part 2 (Fixed Dose Period, 12 weeks): Last dose received in Part 1, twice a day. After completion of Part 2, participants who, in the opinion of the Investigator, have demonstrated clinical benefit from AG-348 treatment will continue AG-348 treatment in the Continued Treatment Period. |
Drug: AG-348
Participants will receive 5, 20, or 50 mg twice a day for up to 192 weeks (not including dose taper) unless the dose is modified for reasons related to safety. |
Experimental: Cohort 2
Participants who received AG-348 in Study AG348-C-006 will enroll in Cohort 2. Participants will continue the AG-348 dose regimen they were receiving at the last visit of Study AG348-C-006. |
Drug: AG-348
Participants will receive 5, 20, or 50 mg twice a day for up to 192 weeks (not including dose taper) unless the dose is modified for reasons related to safety. |
Experimental: Cohort 3
Participants who received AG-348 in Study AG348-C-007 will enroll in Cohort 3. Participants will continue the AG-348 dose regimen they were receiving at the last visit of Study AG348-C-007. |
Drug: AG-348
Participants will receive 5, 20, or 50 mg twice a day for up to 192 weeks (not including dose taper) unless the dose is modified for reasons related to safety. |
