Rapid Drug Desensitization Study in Adults Experiencing Hypersensitivity Reactions to Palynziq
A Phase 4 Study to Evaluate the Impact of a Rapid Drug Desensitization (RDD) Protocol for Adults with Phenylketonuria and Experiencing Hypersensitivity Reactions to Palynziq
BioMarin Pharmaceutical
10 participants
Jan 1, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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: * Study duration: Up to 30 weeks (up to 6 weeks for Screening, then RDD, and 24 weeks of follow-up) * RDD duration: 1 day * Palynziq dosing/follow-up duration: 24 weeks * Palynziq dosing frequency: Individualized
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Age:
- Participants must be 18 years of age or older inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics 2. Participants must have phenylketonuria and must have been receiving commercial Palynziq and enrolled in the REMS.
- \. Participants must have developed HSRs leading to treatment interruption or reduction of dose or dosing frequency (Graade 2 or above) while on Palynziq, and must be able to undergo RDD within 6weeks from the reactive HSR and last Palynziq dose.
- Sex and Contraceptive/Barrier Requirement 4. Males and females are eligible to participate in this clinical study. Contraceptive use is not required during the study. Please refer to the Pregnancy section of USPI for further information.

Exclusion Criteria11
- Medical Conditions:
- Participant may not have any kind of disorders that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the ability of the participant to give written informed consent and/or comply with any aspect of the study, and/or where any aspect of participation would be medically inadvisable for the underlying disorder.
- Participant must not be pregnant on the day of the RDD.
- Participants with uncontrolled asthma, active upper repiratory infection or other active infections, or cardiovascular disease. Asthma control will be assessed using the Asthma Control Test at screening.
- Prior/Concomitant Therapies:
- \. Participants were not using antihistamine premedication(s) at the time of reactive HSRs.
- \. Participants are willing and able to resume and tolerate Palynziq at the reactive dose prior to the RDD.
- \. Participant must not be receiving concurrent injectables containing PEG with the exception of PEG-containing vaccines, such as COVID-19 vaccinations (see Section 6.7).
- Participants receiving beta blockers.
- Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience 8. Participants may not be currently participating in an interventional study of any investigational product, device, or procedure, or any other BioMarin clinical trial or post-marketing study.
- Other Exclusions 9. Participants must not be experiencing reactions that are not appropriate for RDD, including severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) as defined by the American Academy for Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.

Interventions
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.
