What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of adverse event (AE), including serious adverse event (SAE) and adverse event of special interest (AESI)

    Incidence of adverse event (AE), including serious adverse event (SAE) and adverse event of special interest (AESI) as assessed by CTCAE V5.0, from baseline to week 52

    Time frame: Week 52

Secondary outcomes

  1. Plasma Phe levels

    Change from baseline in plasma level of Phe following GS1168 injection administration

    Time frame: Week 52

  2. Total protein intake

    Change from baseline in total protein intake following GS1168 injection administration

    Time frame: Week 52

  3. Phenylketonuria Quality of Life (PKU-QOL) scores

    Change in Phenylketonuria Quality of Life Questionnaire (PKU-QOL, Score range: 0-100, higher scores indicate worse outcomes.)

    Time frame: Week 52
