Long-term safety assessment of pegvaliase in patients with PKU
A Multi-Center, Observational Study to Evaluate the Long-Term Safety of Subcutaneous Injections of Palynziq® (Pegvaliase) in Subjects With Phenylketonuria
This study is testing the long-term safety of pegvaliase in people with PKU to see how well it works and if there are any side effects over time.

What this trial studies
This is a 10-year global observational study aimed at characterizing the safety profile of pegvaliase in patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). It will monitor hypersensitivity reactions, long-term safety, and the effectiveness of additional risk minimization measures in subjects receiving pegvaliase. Eligible participants include those who are either about to start pegvaliase treatment or have already begun treatment. The study will gather data through routine clinical practice without mandated visits or procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals diagnosed with PKU who are currently receiving or are planned to receive pegvaliase treatment.
Not a fit: Patients with disorders that impair their ability to provide informed consent or comply with the study requirements may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term safety and tolerability of pegvaliase for PKU patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in evaluating the safety of treatments for PKU, but this long-term observational approach is relatively novel.
