NCT ID NCT07551921

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test a new device called PheCheck™ that measures phenylalanine levels from a single fingerstick drop of blood. About 60 people with PKU or hyperphenylalaninemia, aged 1 year and older, will use the test at home and compare results to standard lab testing. The goal is to see if the rapid test is accurate enough for routine self-monitoring.
