Further study details as provided by BioMarin Pharmaceutical:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Primary objective:
  • - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term Phenoptin treatment in subjects with PKU.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Secondary objectives:
  • To compare the safety and tolerability of three different doses of Phenoptin treatment in subjects with PKU.
  • To determine the effect of various doses of Phenoptin on blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels.
  • To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of Phenoptin.
  • To evaluate the ability of Phenoptin to reduce phenylalanine (Phe) levels over a 24-hour period.
  • To evaluate the persistence of benefit of Phenoptin treatment in the subject population as evidenced by long-term control of blood Phe levels.

  • Expected to require any investigational agent or vaccine prior to completion of all scheduled study assessments
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy
  • Concurrent disease or condition that would interfere with study participation or safety (e.g., seizure disorder, oral steroid-dependent asthma or other condition requiring oral or parenteral corticosteroid administration, or insulin-dependent diabetes)
