The goal of this Phase 3, open-label study is to evaluate the long-term safety of JNT-517 in pediatric and adult participants with Phenylketonuria (PKU) after completion of either Study JNT517-101 (NCT05781399) or JNT517-201 (NCT06637514) as well as participants who have not participated in a prior JNT-517 study. In this trial, all participants will receive JNT-517 using age- and weight-banded dosing as outlined in the protocol, regardless of any dose received in a previous study.
183 studies on the registry are indexed under Phenylketonurias; 38 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 240 is above the median of 25 across 114 interventional studies indexed under Phenylketonurias.

Key Inclusion Criteria:
If female of childbearing potential:
Is a female not of childbearing potential or postmenopausal, defined as follows:
If male, must practice sexual abstinence, or if involved in any sexual intercourse that could lead to pregnancy, must agree to use 2 different contraceptive methods, where at least 1 method must be highly effective, from Day 1 until at least 30 days after the last study drug administration and must refrain from donating sperm during the course of the study and for 30 days after the last dose of the study drug.
Note: No restrictions are required for males who have undergone a documented vasectomy at least 4 months prior to Screening. If the vasectomy procedure is not documented or was performed less than 4 months prior to Screening, males must follow the same contraception as for non-vasectomized participants.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
Use of any medications that are a substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE)1, MATE2-K, organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3), or CYP3A4 within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug and unwilling and/or unable to avoid these medications throughout the treatment duration (Appendix A). CYP3A4 substrates may be allowed if reduction in exposure is not expected to impact safety of the participant after consultation with the Medical Monitor.
NOTE: Participants of childbearing potential will be permitted to continue with estrogen- or progesterone based oral contraceptives, but must agree to use 2 other methods of contraception, where at least 1 must be highly effective, or must agree to sexual abstinence during the study.
