Trial Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With at Least 30 Percent Reduction From Baseline in Blood Phenylalanine (Phe) Level

Response to treatment was defined as 30 percent reduction from Baseline in blood phenylalanine (Phe) Level during the 28 +/- 1 days. (NCT01082328)
Timeframe: Baseline up to Day 28 +/- 1

InterventionPercentage of participants (Number)
Kuvan®75

Mean Change From Baseline in Blood Phenylalanine-to-tyrosine Ratio

Phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio is the best indicator of dopamine availability in PKU. The change in blood phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio at Day 28 was calculated as blood phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio at Day 28 minus blood phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio at Baseline. (NCT01082328)
Timeframe: Baseline, Day 28

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Treatment Emergent Adverse Events, Treatment Related Adverse Events and AEs Leading to Withdrawal

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in the form of signs, symptoms, abnormal laboratory findings, or diseases that emerges or worsens relative to Baseline during a clinical study with an investigational medicinal product (IMP), regardless of causal relationship and even if no IMP has been administered. (NCT01082328)

Percentage of Early-, Late- and Partial-Responders According to Phenotype

The PKU is categorized as per phenotype into classical PKU: (blood Phe levels > 1200 mcmol/l), mild PKU (blood Phe levels 600 to 1200 mcmol/l), mild HPA (blood Phe levels 300 to 600 mcmol/l). Early responders defined as percentage of participants with at least 30 percent reduction in Phe levels within the first seven days of treatment. Late responders defined as percentage of participants with less than 30 percent reduction in Phe levels within first seven days of treatment, but at least 30 percent reduction in Phe levels within 28 +/- 1 days of treatment. Partial responders defined as percentage of participants with Phe levels reduction between 10 and 30 percent at any blood measurement within the 28 +/- 1 days of treatment. (NCT01082328)
Timeframe: Baseline up to Day 28 +/- 1
