AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Key Inclusion Criteria:
* Adults 18-55 years of age at the time of informed consent
* Diagnosis of phenylketonuria (PKU) due to PAH deficiency
* Two plasma Phe values with a concentration of ≥ 600 μmol/L drawn at least 72 hours apart during the screening period and at least one historical value ≥ 600 μmol/L in the preceding 24 months.
* Subject has the ability and willingness to maintain their baseline diet, whether Phe-restricted or unrestricted for the duration of the trial, unless otherwise directed
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects with PKU that is not due to PAH deficiency
* Presence of anti-AAVHSC15 neutralizing antibodies
* ALT \> ULN and AST \> ULN
* Alkaline phosphatase \> ULN.
* Total bilirubin \> ULN, direct bilirubin \> ULN
* Serum creatinine \>1.5x ULN
* International normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.2
* Hematology values outside of the normal range (hemoglobin \<11.0 g/dL for males or \<10.0 g/dL for females; white blood cells (WBC) \<3,000/μL; absolute neutrophils \<1500/μL; platelets \<100,000/μL)
* Hemoglobin A1c \>6.5% or fasting glucose \>126 mg/dL
* Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory result at screening, in the opinion of the Investigator
* Contraindication to corticosteroid use or conditions that could worsen in the presence of corticosteroids, as assessed and determined by the investigator
* Previously received gene therapy for the treatment of any condition.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
