Summary

SYNB1934-CP-003 was designed as a 3-part, adaptive study consisting of a dose-escalating, open-label period (DEP; Part 1) of up to 15 weeks, followed by a 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal period (RWP; Part 2), and an open-label extension (OLE; Part 3) of up to 36 months

Detailed description

In the DEP, all enrolled participants maintained a stable diet reflecting their baseline phenylalanine (Phe) intake and received escalating doses of SYNB1934v1 from approximately 3 to 15 weeks to determine an individually titrated dose (iTD), which was defined as the highest dose the participant was able to tolerate. A participant was defined as having reached an iTD if they tolerated 3 weeks at a dose, regardless of whether other doses were tolerated. Blood Phe level was measured at each dose level after 3 weeks at that level. A responder was defined as a participant who achieved a ≥ 20% reduction in blood Phe level compared to DEP baseline on SYNB1934v1. Participants who completed at least 3 weeks at their iTD during the DEP entered a 4-week RWP in which they were randomized 1:1 to receive SYNB1934v1 at their iTD determined in the DEP or placebo TID. Randomization was stratified on screening Phe level. Participants remained on their assigned dose (iTD of SYNB1934v1 or matching placebo) for the duration of the RWP, unless they developed intolerance or met other discontinuation criteria, and remained on the same diet they consumed during the DEP. Blood Phe level was measured at Weeks 1, 3, and 4 of the RWP. Participants who completed the 4-week RWP may have entered the OLE and received SYNB1934v1 for up to 36 months. During the OLE, participants completed a dose ramp to their iTD over time guided by tolerability. The iTD in the OLE may have been different from the iTD in the DEP. The investigator may have escalated the SYNB1934v1 dose up to 1 × 10\^12 live cells based on tolerability. Participants were allowed to modify their standard diet, with guidance from the investigator, if their blood Phe level was \< 240 µmol/L.

Conditions

• Phenylketonuria

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	SYNB1934v1	SYNB1934v1 consisted of powder for oral suspension packaged in sachets. During dose preparation, the powder was resuspended in water or apple juice prior to administration.
DRUG	Placebo	Placebo was manufactured using an inactive powder that was color matched to the SYNB1934v1 drug product. In order to maintain study blinding during the RWP, placebo was packaged, labeled, stored, and administered in an identical manner to SYNB1934v1.
