Primary outcomes

  1. Primary objective:

  2. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term Phenoptin treatment in subjects with PKU.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Secondary objectives:

  2. To compare the safety and tolerability of three different doses of Phenoptin treatment in subjects with PKU.

  3. To determine the effect of various doses of Phenoptin on blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels.

  4. To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of Phenoptin.

  5. To evaluate the ability of Phenoptin to reduce phenylalanine (Phe) levels over a 24-hour period.

  6. To evaluate the persistence of benefit of Phenoptin treatment in the subject population as evidenced by long-term control of blood Phe levels.
