Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 8 years of age and older
  • Received at least 7 out of 8 scheduled doses in Study PKU 001
  • Responsive to Phenoptin™ in Study PKU-001, defined as a reduction in blood Phenylalanine level of >/=30% compared with baseline
  • Blood Phenylalanine level >/=450 μmol/L at screening
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent or, in the case of subjects under the age of 18, provide written assent (if required) and written informed consent by a parent or legal guardian, after the nature of the study has been explained
  • Negative urine pregnancy test at screening (females of child-bearing potential)

  • Use of any investigational agent other than Phenoptin™ within 30 days prior to screening, or requirement for any investigational agent or investigational vaccine prior to completion of all scheduled study assessments
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy
  • ALT >5 times the upper limit of normal (i.e., Grade 3 or higher based on World Health Organization Toxicity Criteria) at screening
  • Concurrent disease or condition that would interfere with study participation or safety (e.g., seizure disorder, oral steroid-dependent asthma or other condition requiring oral or parenteral corticosteroid administration, or insulin-dependent diabetes, or organ transplantation recipient)
  • Serious neuropsychiatric illness (e.g., major depression) not currently under medical management
