PKU Extended Treatment with rAvPAL-PEG – Phase II

Long-Term Extension of a Dose-Finding Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, and Tolerability of Multiple Subcutaneous Doses of rAvPAL-PEG in Subjects with Phenylketonuria (PAL-003)

Protocol Description

The goal of this multi-center Phase II study is to assess whether long-term use of rAvPAL-PEG is safe and can maintain reduced blood phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations in patients with Phenylketonuria (PKU). PKU is a genetic disorder characterized by an inability of the body to utilize Phe, an essential amino acid that cannot be produced by the body, but is obtained through food. Phe accumulates in individuals with PKU, causing health problems.
