Clinical Trial for
INDIVIDUALS WITH PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU)
NOW ENROLLING.
Jnana Therapeutics is committed to developing new therapies in areas of high unmet medical need.
Our team of scientists and clinicians have identified and are studying a new investigational medication called JNT-517 for the potential treatment of PKU.
Due to the challenge of adhering to the PKU diet and limited treatment options, some individuals with PKU have phenylalanine (Phe) levels that exceed the recommended range leading to symptoms such as difficulty with memory/thinking, depression, anxiety and poor quality of life. New therapies are needed that are safe, convenient, and allow for Phe reduction and increased natural protein intake.
PKU Phase 1b Trial
Jnana has completed a clinical study of the JNT-517 medication in individuals without PKU and is now conducting a clinical study in individuals with PKU to determine:
The safety of the medication and how well it’s tolerated
How the medication affects Phe levels in the urine and blood
Jnana’s Medication (JNT-517)
Will be taken by mouth
Designed to help the body get rid of excess Phe by:
Blocking Phe reabsorption from the kidney back into the blood
Increasing excretion of Phe in the urine
Eligibility
To qualify, patients must:
Have PKU diagnosis
Be adults (ages 18-65 years)
Have at least 2 blood Phe values > 600µM or 10mg/dL in the past year
