The purpose of this study is to determine if rapid drug desensitization (RDD) to Palynziq will improve drug tolerability and treatment persistence in adult patients on commercial Palynziq experiencing hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency. See Section 10.8 for full list of HSR preferred terms. Study details include:
This is a Phase 4 study to evaluate the impact of RDD on adult (≥18 years old) participants with PKU who have experienced HSRs leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency while receiving commercial Palynziq. This is not a blinded study. All participants will undergo the same assessments: Screening, the RDD in clinic on Day 1, in clinic dosing on Day 2, followed by remote visits in weeks 2-24 post-RDD to monitor for HSRs and changes in Palynziq dosing. Remote visits will occur every other week from Week 2 through Week 12, then monthly until Week 24.
The total duration of participation in the trial will be approximately 30 weeks: up to 6 weeks for screening, followed by RDD and 24 weeks of post-RDD follow-up.
No Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be used for this trial.

|---|---|---|---|
| RDD | Experimental | Participants undergoing RDD to Palynziq |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RDD to Palynziq | Drug | Delivery of gradually increasing doses of Palynziq at fixed time intervals over the course of several hours to a cumulative dose equal to the reactive dose. Reactive dose is defined as the dose at which the reactive HSR occurred which led to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dose frequency. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To determine if RDD to Palynziq improves drug tolerability and treatment persistence in adults with PKU experiencing HSRs leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency (reactive HSR). | 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 reduction in occurrence of HSRs Grade 2 or above within 24 weeks following RDD | 24 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To characterize the immune response to Palynziq following RDD | Change in PEG IgG and IgM, PAL IgG and PAL IgM, and C3/C4 from Baseline to after RDD and at Week 24 | 24 weeks |
