Phenylketonuria
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is an extension of previous rAvPAL-PEG studies. Administration of rAvPAL-PEG will be continued to assess whether long-term dosing of rAvPAL-PEG is safe and can maintain reduced blood Phe concentrations in PKU subjects.
Detailed description
PAL-003 is designed to evaluate long-term treatment of subjects who are continuing to take rAvPAL-PEG. Subjects'previous rAvPAL-PEG dosing will continue in PAL-003. In PAL-003, each subject's dose will be adjusted as needed to attain or maintain blood Phe concentrations of 60-600 µmol/L. rAvPAL-PEG dose will be based on either a subject's weight or will be a fixed dose (subjects who have maintained blood Phe levels to 60-600 µmol/L for at least 2 consecutive weeks and who have maintained a stable rAvPAL-PEG dose for at least 2 consecutive weeks). Doses will be evaluated on an individual basis.
Interventions
The doses are planned to be in the same range as those tested in PAL-002 or PAL-004 and then modified either by increasing or decreasing the dose, adhering to an upper limit up to 5.0 mg/kg per week or 375 mg/week, considering each subject's individual responses related to safety and efficacy.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria
* Use of any investigational product (with the exception of rAvPAL-PEG) or investigational medical device within 30 days prior to Screening, or requirement for any investigational agent prior to completion of all scheduled study assessments. * Use of any medication that is intended to treat PKU within 14 days prior to the administration of study drug. * Use or planned use of any injectable drugs containing PEG (other than rAvPAL-PEG), including Depo-Provera during study participation. * A prior reaction that included systemic symptoms (eg, generalized hives, respiratory or gastrointestinal problems, hypotension, angioedema, anaphylaxis) to rAvPAL-PEG or a PEG-containing product. * Pregnant or breastfeeding at Screening or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) or to breastfeed at any time during the study.Concurrent disease or condition that would interfere with study participation or safety (eg, history or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurological, oncologic, or psychiatric disease). * Any condition that, in the view of the PI, places the subject at high risk of poor treatment compliance or of not completing the study. * Known hypersensitivity to rAvPAL-PEG or its excipients, including hypersensitivity reactions that necessitated early termination from previous rAvPAL-PEG studies. * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentration \> 2 times the upper limit of normal. * Creatinine \> 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
