Diet program study for adults with PKU
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how nutrition affects risk factors in adults with PKU (a condition that requires a special diet to control certain blood chemicals). If you can manage your diet independently and agree to follow the study diet plan, this may help researchers find better nutritional approaches.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have PKU or a related condition called hyperphenylalaninemia
- Expect to be on a diet treatment plan recommended by specialists
- Be able to sign consent and understand what the study involves
- Be able to manage your diet on your own (not rely on a caregiver for diet)

This study looks at whether following specific care guidelines for phenylketonuria (PKU) leads to better metabolic control (blood phenylalanine levels) and better patient well-being. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and follow the study plan while receiving the usual PKU treatment your clinic recommends.
This study tests whether a specific mix of large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) can help adults with classical PKU by lowering phenylalanine levels in the brain. It includes an MRI and PET scan to see how the treatment affects brain activity.
This study looks at how taking Palynziq affects your nutrition and health in people with phenylketonuria (PKU). You might benefit by getting careful monitoring while researchers learn how the medicine changes diet-related measurements.
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy called NGGT002 for adults with classic PKU who cannot take or do not respond well to current treatments. The goal is to see if it can safely lower blood phenylalanine levels.
This study looks at how much protein people with PKU need. If you have PKU and are 18 or older, you may help researchers understand your body's protein needs better.
This study looks at how a phenylalanine-restricted diet or certain PKU medicines affect gut health in children with PKU. It also includes healthy siblings or household members as a comparison group.
