A Long-Term Safety Study of PTC923 in Participants With Phenylketonuria
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of PTC923 in participants with phenylketonuria, and to evaluate the changes from baseline in dietary phenylalanine (Phe)/protein consumption.
Trial Purpose
Key Participation Requirements
Inclusion Criteria:
- Clinical diagnosis of PKU with hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA) documented by past medical history of at least 2 blood Phe measurements ≥600 μmol/L.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and agree to abstinence or the use of at least one highly effective form of contraception for the duration of the study, and for up to 90 days after the last dose of the study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Inability to tolerate oral medication.
- A female who is pregnant or breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy.
Trial Summary
Total Participants
This is the number of individuals who are taking part in the trial.
Trial Dates
These are the start and end dates for the trial. Note that future dates are estimates that may be updated before or during the trial.
Phase
These are the different steps that a treatment goes through during clinical development before it is approved for use.
Placebo Controlled
In this type of study, some participants receive a “placebo,” which looks like the study treatment, but does not actually contain the active treatment.
Product
This is any type of drug, device, or other treatment that is being studied in the trial.
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are individuals who participate in the trial and do not have that specific disease or condition.
Trial Design
Trial Type
This is the general nature of the study.
Interventional
Participants in these studies are subject to an intervention by researchers. These trials are used to understand the effects of a particular intervention.
Blinding
Study participants know which treatments they might get if they join the trial, however during a trial they may not be informed which treatment they are actually taking. The act of not disclosing this information to the participant is known as “blinding.”
Intervention Type
This is a medicine, device, or other type of treatment that is being studied or is already approved for use. Interventions can also include behavior changes, like diet and exercise.
Allocation
This determines how study participants are assigned their treatment.
Trial Purpose
This is the rationale behind why the clinical trial is being performed.
Trial Arms
These are the groups of participants in a clinical study. Each different “arm” is assigned a different treatment to use. Different types of trial arms in studies can include:
Experimental arm
Experimental arm: The group assigned to use the study treatment
Primary OutcomePrimary Outcome
This is the most important measurement of the study and is used to help researchers evaluate the effect of a treatment.
Primary Outcome
This is the most important measurement of the study and is used to help researchers evaluate the effect of a treatment.
Number of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Timeframe: Baseline up to end of study (up to 4 years)
Change From Baseline in Dietary Phe/Protein Consumption at Week 26, Measured During Phe Tolerance Assessment Period
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 26
Secondary OutcomeSecondary Outcome
This measurement is a secondary measurement and is still important in helping researchers evaluate the effect of a treatment.
Secondary Outcome
This measurement is a secondary measurement and is still important in helping researchers evaluate the effect of a treatment.
