Vulnerable Population
Vulnerable populations include children/minors. Informed consent must be obtained; assent is required if necessary at the investigator’s discretion for children, with parental/legal guardian consent required. Age-specific subject information and consent/assent forms are provided (eg, parental ICFs, children 6-11, adolescent 12-17 forms) and the protocol explicitly addresses consent/assent handling.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Informed consent and assent (if necessary, at the investigator’s discretion [ie, for children]) with parental/legal guardian consent"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Male or female subjects of any age"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Clinical diagnosis of PKU with HPA documented by past medical history of at least 2 blood Phe measurements ≥600 μmol/L"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Women of childbearing potential, as defined in the Clinical Trial Facilitation Group guidance (CTFG 2020), must have a negative pregnancy test at study entry and agree to abstinence or the use of at least one highly effective form of contraception (with a failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly): • Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: − Oral − Intravaginal − Transdermal • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: − Oral − Injectable − Implantable • Intrauterine device • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system • Bilateral tubal occlusion • Vasectomized partner with confirmed azoospermia Highly effective contraception or abstinence must be continued for the duration of the study and for up to 90 days after the last dose of the study drug. All females will be considered of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (at least 12 months consecutive amenorrhea in the appropriate age group without other known or suspected cause) or have been permanently sterilized surgically (eg, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy)."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Males who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential who have not had a vasectomy must agree to use a barrier method of birth control during the study and for up to 90 days after the last dose of study drug. Males must also refrain from sperm donations during this time period."}

  • {"criterion_text":"- Willing to continue current diet unchanged while participating in the study (unless specifically instructed to change diet during the study by the investigator)."}

  • {"criterion_text":"- Additional criteria for subjects who did not participate in a feeder study: Any abnormal physical examination and/or laboratory findings indicative of signs or symptoms of renal disease, including calculated GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. In subjects ≥18 years of age, the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Equation should be used to determine GFR. In subjects <18 years of age, the Bedside Schwartz Equation should be used to determine GFR."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Additional criteria for subjects who did not participate in a feeder study: Confirmed diagnosis of a primary BH4 deficiency as evidenced by biallelic pathogenic mutations in 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase, recessive GTP cyclohydrolase I, sepiapterin reductase, quinoid dihydropteridine reductase, or pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase genes"}
