A Phase 3 interventional study of Sapropterin dihydrochloride and Placebo in Phenylketonuria, sponsored by BioMarin Pharmaceutical. Completed at 36 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 8 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-02-01.
Sponsored by BioMarin Pharmaceutical · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study is designed to evaluate the safety and therapeutic effects of sapropterin dihydrochloride on neuropsychiatric symptoms in subjects with PKU.
Phenylketonuria (PKU) results from deficient phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) activity and leads to toxic phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation in patients with PKU causing mental retardation, microcephaly, delayed speech, seizures, psychiatric symptoms and behavioral abnormalities. Although for most PKU patients early initiation of dietary treatment prevents severe complications, discontinuation of dietary restrictions at an early age is associated with poor cognitive development and neuropsychiatric disorders are present even in early-treated and well controlled PKU patients.
This study, PKU-016, will be conducted in PKU patients to evaluate the therapeutic effects of sapropterin dihydrochloride on the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, and anxiety.
183 studies on the registry are indexed under Phenylketonurias; 38 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 206 is above the median of 25 across 114 interventional studies indexed under Phenylketonurias.

Effects of 6R-BH4 on global function in PKU subjects in subjects that had a blood Phe level reduction after treatment with 6R-BH4 at screening. The CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the participant's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention and rated as: 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse.
