Tests treatment safety and results for Phenylketonuria
Official title A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of AG-181 in Subjects With Phenylketonuria
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07241234
What this study is testing
What is AG-181?
AG-181 is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for phenylketonuria.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AG-181 in subjects with Phenylketonuria (PKU).
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
