Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AGIO - Free Report) is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of treatments for cancer and rare genetic metabolic disorders.

The company has several interesting candidates in its pipeline. Its cancer pipeline comprises enasidenib (IDH2 mutant inhibitor), AG-120 (IDH1 mutant inhibitor) and AG-881 (pan-IDH mutant inhibitor).

With no approved products in its portfolio, revenues at Agios mainly consist of collaboration revenues under its agreement with Celgene Corporation. Agios is in collaboration with Celgene for AG-221 and AG-881.

Agios’ performance so far has been disappointing with the company missing expectations in three of the last four reported quarters. Overall, the company has delivered an average miss of 77.80%.
