Title

Rapid Drug Desensitization Study in Adults Experiencing Hypersensitivity Reactions to Palynziq (PALLADIUM)

Study Description

This is a Phase 4 study to evaluate the impact of rapid drug desensitization (RDD) on adult (≥18 years old) participants with PKU who have experienced hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency while receiving commercial Palynziq.

Primary Outcome Measures*

  • Tolerance, defined as the ability to restart Palynziq at the dose at which the reactive HSR occurred (reactive dose) and escalate as appropriate within 24 weeks following the RDD, without requiring treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency due to HSRs; and 2. Reduction in occurrence of HSRs Grade 2 or above within 24 weeks following RDD

Select Inclusion Criteria*

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Have phenylketonuria and been receiving commercial Palynziq and enrolled in the REMS
  • Have developed HSRs leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency (Grade 2 or above) while on Palynziq, and be able to undergo RDD within 6 weeks from the reactive HSR and last Palynziq dose

Secondary Outcome Measures*

  • Change in PEG IgG and IgM, PAL IgG and PAL IgM, and C3/C4 from Baseline to after RDD and at Week 24

Select Exclusion Criteria*

  • Medical Conditions:
    Pregnant on the day of the RDD
    Uncontrolled asthma, active upper respiratory infection or other active infections, or cardiovascular disease
  • Prior/Concomitant Therapies:
    Not using antihistamine premedication(s) at the time of reactive HSRs
    Willing and able to resume and tolerate Palynziq at the reactive dose prior to the RDD
    Receiving concurrent injectables containing PEG with the exception of PEG-containing vaccines, such as COVID-19 vaccinations
    Receiving beta blockers

* Additional measures/criteria may apply.

Title

A Long-term, Post-marketing Safety Study of Palynziq in Patients With PKU (PALace)

Study Description

This is a 10-year multicenter, global, observational study to further characterize the safety profile of pegvaliase, including hypersensitivity reactions, long-term safety and tolerability, and the effectiveness of the additional risk minimization measures (aRMMs) (European Union [EU] only) in subjects receiving pegvaliase for the treatment of PKU.

Primary Outcome Measures*

  • To quantify and characterize the risk of protocol-defined safety events in incident-users receiving pegvaliase for the treatment of PKU in a real-world setting

Select Inclusion Criteria*

  • Documented diagnosis of PKU per local standard of care
  • Receiving or plan to receive pegvaliase treatment within 30 days of enrollment

Secondary Outcome Measures*

  • To quantify and characterize the risk of protocol-defined safety events in subjects receiving pegvaliase for the treatment of PKU in a real-world setting

Select Exclusion Criteria*

  • Subject has any kind of disorder that may compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent
  • Currently participating in an interventional study of any investigational product, device, or procedure

* Additional measures/criteria may apply.
PKU, phenylketonuria.

Title

A Long Term, Post-marketing Study of Immune Response in Patients Receiving Palynziq Treatment for PKU (PALisade)

Study Description

This is a 10-year multi-center, prospective, longitudinal, single arm study evaluating immunologic, inflammatory and laboratory parameters associated with long-term Palynziq treatment in subjects with phenylketonuria (PKU) in the United States (US).

Primary Outcome Measures*

  • Immunologic and inflammatory responses associated with occurrences of: acute systemic hypersensitivity reaction, anaphylaxis, angioedema, serum sickness, severe hypersensitivity reaction, severe or persistent arthralgia, severe injection site reaction

Select Inclusion Criteria*

  • Enrolled at US sites participating in the 165-501 (PALace) study.

Secondary Outcome Measures*

  • Immunologic and inflammatory responses (immunologic testing, inflammatory markers) associated with occurrences of end-organ function (e.g., kidney, liver) related, immune-mediated adverse drug reactions
  • The potential association between immunologic responses and blood Phe levels

Select Exclusion Criteria*

  • Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity without legal guardian representation
  • Subject is unable or unwilling to provide informed consent for the additional interventional burden of the study (blood sampling)

* Additional measures/criteria may apply.
