Simplified Diet Approach in Phenylketonuria

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

This is a study to determine if a simplified protein counting system, including the free usage of fruits and vegetables low in phenylalanine, will improve the metabolic control in teens and adults with phenylketonuria (PKU). Anybody with a positive diagnosis of PKU, between the ages of 13-65 years will be invited to participate in this study. Subjects will be educated on the simplified system upon enrollment, and historical phenylalanine (Phe) levels will be used for comparison. Subjects will also be asked about their attitudes towards their current Phe counting system. Upon enrollment, a 3-day food record and Phe levels over the past 12 months will be collected. Demographic information will be asked, as well as questions regarding their current Phe counting system. Patients will be educated on the new counting system, stressing 3 key principles: 1) free use of fruits and vegetables, low in protein, 2) protein counting as a simpler version of Phe counting, including reinforcement of label reading, and 3) daily use of PKU formula for enhanced nutrient and protein intake. Patients will be given written educational tools to reinforce this new method. At the end of the 12 months, subjects will be asked to provide a 3-day food record, and questions will be asked about their attitudes toward the use of the new simplified system. Phenylalanine levels from the 12-month study period will be used to compare with historical data. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
