Hyperphenylalaninemia, Non-Phenylketonuric, Tetrahydrobiopterin Deficiencies
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of Phenoptin to control blood phenylalanine levels in subjects who have hyperphenylalaninemia due to a primary BH4 deficiency and to evaluate the safety of Phenoptin in this population. Some subjects were receiving non-registered formulations of BH4 at enrollment and this treatment was suspended after Part 1 and within one day the subjects started Phenoptin at approximately the same dose.
Detailed description
Within 4 weeks of completing screening assessments to determine eligibility, subjects will be enrolled in the study. The study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1: After screening, all subjects will be followed for two weeks without modification of their baseline medical or dietary care. Part 2: Beginning at Week 2, subjects who were receiving non-registered formulations of BH4 at enrollment will suspend this treatment and within one day will start Phenoptin at approximately the same dose of the non-registered BH4 formulation. Subjects not receiving BH4 at enrollment will begin treatment with Phenoptin at approximately 5 mg/kg/day, given orally, prior to meals. At the discretion of the Investigator, the Phenoptin dose may be adjusted up or down at the Week 6 visit to control blood Phe levels (\<360 µmol/L), or to optimize the clinical effect. The maximum dose allowed will be approximately 20 mg/kg/day. All subjects will receive Phenoptin for a total of 8 weeks. Subjects will be instructed to continue their usual diet without modification. Study visits will occur every other week. Tyrosine, biopterin and neopterin will be analyzed at the following visits: Week 0 (enrollment), Week 2 (prior to dosing with Phenoptin), Week 8 (after 6 weeks of treatment with Phenoptin) and Week 10 (after 8 weeks of treatment with Phenoptin).During each visit, blood Phe level will be measured (2.5-5 hours after a meal), and safety evaluations will be performed. Safety will be assessed by monitoring adverse events and vital signs, performing physical examinations, assessing signs and symptoms of primary BH4 deficiency (i.e., neurological symptoms such as seizures, changes in muscle tone, weakness, etc.) and clinical laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology and urinalysis). Extension: Upon completion of 8 weeks of treatment (i.e., at the Week 10 visit), subjects will be offered the option to continue treatment with Phenoptin in an extension of this study. Participation in the study extension will continue until one of the following occurs: 1. the subject withdraws consent and discontinues from the study, 2. the subject is discontinued from the study at the discretion of the investigator, 3. the study drug is available through the appropriate marketing approval, or 4. the study is terminated. During the extension period, study drug will be dispensed to subjects monthly, and study visits will be required every 3 months. The Phenoptin dose may be adjusted at any visit during the study extension at the discretion of the Investigator. The maximum dose allowed will be approximately 20 mg/kg/day.
Interventions
5mg/kg/day orally, dose may be adjusted to between 5-20 mg/kg/day by investigator at week 6 to control blood Phe levels

Study design
Intervention model description
Outcomes were to be evaluated for all subjects with primary BH4 disease. Outcomes were also evaluated based on the type of BH4 deficiency either due to defects in the genes encoding the enzymes involved in BH4 biosynthesis, GTPcyclohydrolase I (GCH1), 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS), and sepiapterin reductase (SR); or defects in the genes encoding the enzymes involved in BH4 recycling, pterin-4a-carbinolamine dehydratase (PCD) and dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR)
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Subjects Experiencing Adverse Events(AEs)
Intensity was determined by the Investigator. For symptomatic AEs the following definitions were applied. Mild = AE did not limit usual activities. Moderate = AE resulted in some limitation of usual activities. Severe = AE resulted in an inability to carry out usual activities. A treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) is any Adverse Events that newly appeared, increased in frequency or worsened in severity following initiation of study drug administration. Serious AE (SAE) resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in patient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect; or was an important medical event.

AEs Consistent With Signs and/or Symptoms of BH4 Deficiency
Attention was paid to AEs that may be consistent with signs and/or symptoms associated with primary BH4 deficiency to determine if such signs and symptoms arose or increased in severity or frequency during the study. These included prematurity and low birth weight, inability to control body temperature, low muscle tone, decreased spontaneous movements, poor sucking, movement disorders, difficulty swallowing, hypersalivation, seizures or convulsions, behavioral problems, developmental delay, and mental retardation.
Time frame: Up to 35 months
Population: AEs that are signs and symptoms of BH4 deficiency were reported for 3 subjects: One SAE of mild dyskinesia (required hospitalization) in one subject; events of severe dystonia and moderate Dyskinesia in one subject; and one event of mild vertigo in one subject. All events resolved and were considered unrelated to Phenoptin except mild vertigo.
