Biopharmaceutical company Agios Pharmaceuticals Inc has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to raise up to $86 million in an initial public offering of common stock. The company did not specify the number of shares to be sold and the price range for the proposed offering.

The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company said in a preliminary prospectus that it intends to list its common stock on the Nasdaq under the symbol "AGIO".
