Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 3 open-label randomized controlled study enrolling approximately 54 adolescents with PKU. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of pegvaliase injections.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Phenylketonuria (PKU) Drug: Pegvaliase Other: Diet Only Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This Phase 3 multicenter study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pegvaliase administered daily to adolescents (ages 12 to 17 years old (US), inclusive, and 12 to 15 years old (EU), inclusive 12-17) with phenylketonuria (PKU). Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to the active (pegvaliase) and control (diet-only) treatment arms, respectively, with 36 participants receiving pegvaliase and 18 participants managing their PKU with diet alone.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Pegvaliase Drug: Pegvaliase
Pegvaliase 2.5mg/10mg/20mg/40mg/60mg self-administered from 1 time up to 7 times a week
Other Names:
  • PEG PAL
  • BMN 165
Drug: Diet Only
Participants will be managing their PKU with diet alone. Participants in the diet-only control arm will be required to maintain and adjust dietary and medical protein food intake through Week 72, initiating pegvaliase treatment beginning Week 73 and, from Weeks 73 through 215.
 Other: Diet Only
Diet Control


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in blood Phe concentration [ Time Frame: Treatment naïve baseline following 72 weeks on study ]
  2. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: Treatment naïve baseline following 72 weeks on study ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in total dietary protein intake [ Time Frame: Treatment naïve baseline following 72 weeks on study ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Characterize area under plasma concentration time curve (AUC) of pegvaliase [ Time Frame: Baseline to 215 weeks ]
  2. Characterize maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of pegvaliase [ Time Frame: Baseline to 215 weeks ]
  3. Characterize trough plasma concentration (Ctrough) of pegvaliase [ Time Frame: Baseline to 215 weeks ]
  4. Characterize time to reach maximum plasma concentration (Tmax) of pegvaliase [ Time Frame: Baseline to 215 weeks ]
