Study to Evaluate the Response to and Safety of an 8-Day Course of Phenoptin™ Treatment in Subjects With Phenylketonuria
This study has been completed.
Sponsored by: BioMarin Pharmaceutical
Information provided by: BioMarin Pharmaceutical
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00104260
  Purpose

The primary objective is to evaluate the degree and frequency of response to Phenoptin™ (sapropterin dihydrochloride), as demonstrated by a reduction in blood phenylalanine (Phe) level among subjects with phenylketonuria (PKU) who have elevated Phe levels. A secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Phenoptin™ treatment in this subject population, and identify individuals in this subject population who respond to Phenoptin™ treatment with a reduction in blood Phe level.

  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent or, in the case of subjects under the age of 18, provide written assent (if required) and written informed consent by a parent or legal guardian, after the nature of the study has been explained
  • Negative urine pregnancy test at screening (non-sterile females of child-bearing potential only)
  • Male and Female subjects of childbearing potential childbearing potential (if sexually active and non-sterile) must be using acceptable birth control measures, as determined by the investigator, and willing to continue to use acceptable birth control measures while participating in the study

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy
  • ALT > 5 times the upper limit of normal (i.e., Grade 3 or higher based on World Health Organization Toxicity Criteria) at screening
  • 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, or organ transplantation)
