Clinical trials

Recommendations regarding the frequency of phenylalanine level monitoring lack solid support from evidence derived from prospective randomized trials, including in the adult population with classic PKU. Current recommendations indicate that in adults (excluding the period of pregnancy planning and pregnancy itself), Phe levels should be assessed at least once a month or more frequently if additional indications exist. As part of this study, we plan to obtain, for the first time, high-quality data on the impact of Phe monitoring frequency on Phe control in adults. The primary objective of the study will be to assess the effect of the frequency (once a week versus once a month) of Phe level measurements on the metabolic control of phenylketonuria, as expressed by Phe concentration in DBS, in adult patients with the classic form of phenylketonuria.
