Participate in a clinical study of a potential treatment for phenylketonuria (PKU). This is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down phenylalanine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in many protein-rich foods.

Current treatment options for PKU are a life-long severely restrictive diet and two medicines. One of the medicines does not work for most patients, and the other requires up to 3 injections daily, with an increased risk of anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity. Because of the limited existing treatment options, it is important that new, more efficient treatments are developed.
