Testing protein needs in adults with PKU
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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 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 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.
This study tests a new injection called GS1168 for adults with phenylketonuria (PKU) whose current treatments are not working well. The goal is to see if it can help control their PKU better.
This study tests a new microtablet form of protein substitute for people with PKU. It aims to see if taking these tablets helps you meet your protein needs while staying on your PKU diet.
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.
