First seen Dec 18, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a one-time gene therapy called NGGT002 in 12 adults with classic PKU, a genetic disorder that makes it hard to break down an amino acid called phenylalanine. The therapy delivers a working copy of the PAH gene to help the body process phenylalanine normally. Participants will be monitored for safety and changes in blood phenylalanine levels for up to 5 years. The goal is to see if this treatment can reduce the need for a strict low-protein diet.
