The Effects of Sapropterin Dihydrochloride Supplementation on in Vivo Redox Status in Patients With Classical PKU
Stopped: Withdrawn due to no funding
0Started 2012-07
Plain-language summary
This study is an independent sub-study of the protocol titled PKU-016: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study to evaluate the safety and therapeutic effects of sapropterin dihydrochloride on neuro-psychiatric symptoms in subjects with phenylketonuria (PKU ASCEND).
The primary objective of this study is to determine oxidative stress in patients with classical phenylketonuria (PKU) enrolled in PKU-016, using a brain scan (called an HMPAO SPECT) at baseline and 26 weeks, and blood redox biomarkers.

Inclusion Criteria:Sub-study Inclusion criteria same as main study:
* ≥ 8 years of age
* Confirmed diagnosis of PKU
* Willing to continue current diet (typical diet for the 3 months prior to study entry)unchanged while participating in the study
* Willing and able to provide written, signed informed consent or in the case of subjects under the age of 18, provide written assent (if required) and written informed consent by a legally authorized representative after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to any research-related procedures
