12 Clinical Trials for Phenylketonuria
While previous PKU intervention research has largely focused on pharmacological treatment of elevated Phe levels, the adaptation of evidence-based psychosocial therapy holds promise for addressing cognitive and psychological symptoms and significantly improving quality of life. Study goals include: (1) to demonstrate the efficacy and feasibility of a short-term skills-based intervention (Show Me FIRST) for anxiety and depression in adolescents with PKU, and (2) to further establish the psychometric validity of novel assessment measures recently developed by the Investigators that utilize ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to capture "in the moment" neurocognitive and psychological function. The Investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial wherein 30 adolescents with PKU will be randomized to either an immediate intervention group or wait-list/delayed intervention group.
The main purpose of this trial is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of sepiapterin on preserving neurocognitive functioning in children with PKU when treatment is initiated in early childhood.
This is a single group Phase 1/Phase 2, 1-arm, open-label study with SAR444836, an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene transfer of human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), for the treatment of adult participants with phenylketonuria (PKU) on a chronic, stable diet. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAR444836 in reducing phenylalanine (Phe) levels and in the elimination of a Phe restricted diet. Participants will receive a one-time intravenous (IV) administration of SAR444836. The study is constituted of 2 separate parts: a dose escalation part, and a dose expansion part where subsequent participants will be administered a safe and effective dose level identified during the dose escalation part. In both study parts, clinical and laboratory assessments will be collected to: a) assess the incidence of adverse events, and b) evaluate the effect of SAR444836 on reductions in blood Phe levels and maintenance of these Phe levels after elimination of a Phe restricted diet. The study duration will be for a minimum duration of 5 years following SAR444836 administration, for each participant and includes a 6-week screening phase, a 96-week treatment follow-up period after SAR444836 administration, followed by an additional 3 years of long-term safety (and efficacy) monitoring. There will be a total of 47 study visits. Many study visits may occur as remote visits and be performed by a qualified in-home service provider. Actual study duration for an individual participant may be longer than 5 years due to the administration of SAR444836 to participants in Stage 1A in a serial fashion, the duration of the screening period, and/or other factors such as delays in scheduling study visits.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of PTC923 in participants with phenylketonuria, and to evaluate the changes from baseline in dietary phenylalanine (Phe)/protein consumption.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited metabolic disorder that impairs the metabolism of the essential amino acid phenylalanine (Phe). Without stringent dietary control, Phe accumulates in the blood and brain of PKU patients, leading to severe cognitive deficits. Achieving metabolic control, defined as blood Phe levels within the range of 120-360 μmol/L, has been a significant challenge for PKU patients using traditional diet therapy. The new FDA approved pharmacologic treatment, Palynziq, offers a new approach that could significantly reduce the burden of PKU by improving blood Phe levels and allowing for a less restrictive diet. As little is known about the global metabolic and physiologic effects of Palynziq, the present study aims to capture changes in diet quality, neurological health, nutritional status, the nutritional metabolome, and patient perceptions of mental and social health with sustained Palynziq therapy.
The purpose of this project is to study the effectiveness of teaching teens and young women with Phenylketonuria (PKU) or Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) about their disease and nutrition related issues in a camp environment. It will also look at pregnancy outcome results in women with PKU who attended Metabolic Camp and compare their results to other women with PKU who have not attended the Metabolic Camp.
The purpose of this study is to determine if rapid drug desensitization (RDD) to Palynziq will improve drug tolerability and treatment persistence in adult patients on commercial Palynziq experiencing hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency. See Section 10.8 for full list of HSR preferred terms. Study details include: * Study duration: Up to 30 weeks (up to 6 weeks for Screening, then RDD, and 24 weeks of follow-up) * RDD duration: 1 day * Palynziq dosing/follow-up duration: 24 weeks * Palynziq dosing frequency: Individualized
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multiple-center, dose escalation and cohort expansion study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NGGT002 in adult subjects with classic Phenylketonuria (PKU). NGGT002 is an rAAV8 based vector carrying a functional copy of the human PAH gene. Participants will receive a single administration of NGGT002 and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 5 years.
This is a 10-year multi-center, prospective, longitudinal, single arm study evaluating immunologic, inflammatory and laboratory parameters associated with long-term Palynziq treatment in subjects with phenylketonuria (PKU) in the United States (US). Subjects in the US for whom a clinical decision has been made that they will receive pegvaliase to treat their PKU within 30 days following the date of enrollment in Study 165-501 (incident-users) or who have previously started treatment with pegvaliase at the date of enrollment in Study 165-501 (prevalent-users) are eligible for participation in Study 165-503.
The goal of this feasibility study clinical trial is to compare the accuracy of PheCheck™ for the rapid quantitative detection of phenylalanine (Phe) with the gold standard (HPLC amino acid analyzer), in patients with PKU. The main aims are: * Evaluate the accuracy of PheCheck as compared to the gold standard * Evaluate ease of use by lay participants
This is a 10-year multi-center, global, observational study to further characterize the safety profile of pegvaliase, including hypersensitivity reactions, long-term safety and tolerability, and the effectiveness of the additional risk minimization measures (aRMMs) (European Union (EU) only) in subjects receiving pegvaliase for the treatment of PKU. Subjects for whom a clinical decision has been made that they will receive pegvaliase to treat their PKU within 30 days following the date of enrollment (incident-users) or have previously started treatment with pegvaliase at the date of enrollment (prevalent-users) are eligible for participation in this study.
This is a Phase 4 observational study designed to assess the impact of Palynziq ® (pegvaliase) treatment in pregnant women with PKU and on their offspring who were exposed to pegvaliase at any time during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
