About this study

165-302 is a Phase 3, 4 Part, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Discontinuation Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Self Administered Subcutaneous Injections of BMN 165 by Adults With PKU.

This study is open only to adults who have been exposed to BMN165 in a previous study.

Study BMN 165-302 is a four-Part, Phase 3 study.

  • Part 1: Open-label period
  • Part 2: A Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period of 8 weeks
  • Part 3: Two sub-Parts to Part 3:- Part 3A - BMN 165 administered using vial and syringe during this open label period. Part 3B - BMN 165 administered using prefilled syringe during this open-label period.
  • Part 4: A long-term, open-label extension period.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • Are willing and able to comply with all study procedures
  • For females of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test at screening and willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study
  • If sexually active, willing to use two acceptable methods of contraception during and for 4 weeks after the study
  • Males post vasectomy for 2 years with no known pregnancies do not need to use any other forms of contraception during the study.
  • Females who have been in menopause for at least 2 years, have had a tubal ligation at least 1 year prior to screening, or have had a total hysterectomy do not need to use any other forms of contraception during the study.
  • Have received documented approval from a study dietitian confirming that the subject is capable of maintaining their diet
  • Have neurocognitive and linguistic capacities to comprehend and answer investigator's prompts for the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) Investigator rated instrument and to complete the POMS-Subject rated scale
  • If applicable, maintained stable dose of medication for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, or other psychiatric disorder ≥8 weeks prior to enrollment and willing to maintain stable dose throughout study unless a change is medically indicated
  • General good health, as evidenced by physical examination, clinical laboratory evaluations, and ECG tests at screening

Exclusion criteria

Individuals who meet any of the following exclusion criteria will not be eligible to participate in the study:

  • Use of any investigational product (except BMN 165) or investigational medical device within 30 days prior to screening or requirement for any investigational agent prior to completion of all scheduled study assessments
  • Use of any medication (except BMN 165) intended to treat PKU, including the use of large neutral amino acids, within 2 days prior to the administration of study drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the Blood Plasma Phenylalanine (Phe) Concentration at Part 2

    Time frame: At Part 2 baseline and change from baseline at Part 2 week 8

    Blood phe concentration in subjects previously exposed to BMN165 who were administered BMN165 20 or 40 mg/day compared with those who were administered a matching placebo.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in the Cognitive and Mood Symptoms Measured by ADHD Rating Scale (RS)-IV Inattention Subscale at Part 2

    Time frame: At Part 2 baseline and change from baseline at Part 2 week 8

    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder rating scale IV (ADHD RS-IV) is investigator-rated, 9-item, inattention subscale score ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicative of a greater degree of impairment and a baseline score >9 indicative of a presence of symptoms.

  2. Change From Baseline in the Blood Plasma Phenylalanine (Phe) Concentration at Part 4

    Time frame: At Part 4 week 57, 105, 161, 209 and 249

    The long term effect of multiple dose levels of BMN165 on blood phe concentration in subjects who are administered BMN165 using pre-filled syringes.

  3. Change From Baseline in the Cognitive and Mood Symptoms Measured by PKU POMS TMD at Part 2

    Time frame: At Part 2 baseline and change from baseline at Part 2 week 8

    Phenylketonuria (PKU) Total Mood Disturbance (TMD) Profile of Mood States (POMS)

    PKU POMS TMD is self-rated, each item in the tool is rated using a five-point Likert scale: 0 (not at all), 1 (a little), 2 (moderately), 3 (quite a bit), and 4 (extremely).

  4. Change From Baseline in the Cognitive and Mood Symptoms Measured by PKU POMS Confusion Subscale at Part 2

    Time frame: At Part 2 baseline and change from baseline at Part 2 week 8

    PKU POMS confusion mood domain (referred to as the confusion subscale) is self-rated, each item in the tool is rated using a five-point Likert scale: 0 (not at all), 1 (a little), 2 (moderately), 3 (quite a bit), and 4 (extremely).

  5. Change From Baseline in the Cognitive and Mood Symptoms Measured by POMS TMD at Part 2

    Time frame: At Part 2 baseline and change from baseline at Part 2 week 8

    Full-length POMS TMD is self-rated, each item in the tool is rated using a five-point Likert scale: 0 (not at all), 1 (a little), 2 (moderately), 3 (quite a bit), and 4 (extremely).
