New PKU formula shows promise in managing blood levels
NCT ID NCT05827536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new amino acid formula called PKU GOLIKE in people aged 16 and older with phenylketonuria (PKU). The goal was to see if it could better control daily swings in blood phenylalanine levels compared to standard treatment. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
