Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: A- To evaluate the efficacy of pegvaliase in adolescent participants with PKU B - To evaluate the safety of pegvaliase adolescent participants with PKU ;Secondary Objective: A- To characterize total dietary protein intake in adolescent participants with PKU after pegvaliase treatment B- To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pegvaliase in adolescent participants with PKU ;Primary end point(s): Safety will be evaluated by assessment of AEs, SAEs, laboratory test results (chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), vital signs physical examination, ECG and anti-BMN165 immunogenicity test results ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 72 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1- Change from baseline in total dietary protein intake (ie, medical food and/or intact food). 2-Plasma sample for trough PK ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 72 weeks of treatment
