Participant Flow

Participants were recruited at Birmingham Hospital from June 2023 to February 2024. The first participant was enrolled on 30 June 2023 (date of informed consent signature), and the last participant was enrolled in February 2024.

16 patients are recruited in the study and treated according to the study design: randomised two-periods crossover. 3 patients are excluded from analyses due to protocol deviations. So 16 patients are included in the ITT analysis and only 13 in the PP analysis.

Measure
1st PKU GOLIKE, 2nd AA Protein Substitute
For the study All Patients are randomised to receive: * The PKU GOLIKE treatment for 7 days as their last dose of protein substitute for the day in an amount equivalent to their usual protein substitute Proteine Equivalent; or * An amino acid protein substitute (AA treatment) for all daily doses for 7 days. Each the above mentioned treatments were followed by a 2-week washout period on their usual protein substitute, and then 7 days of the other study arm. All participants were randomized to receive both Golike and AA treatments
1st AA Protein Substitute 2nd PKU GOLIKE
For the study All Patients are randomised to receive: * The PKU GOLIKE treatment for 7 days as their last dose of protein substitute for the day in an amount equivalent to their usual protein substitute Proteine Equivalent; or * An amino acid protein substitute (AA treatment) for all daily doses for 7 days. Each the above mentioned treatments were followed by a 2-week washout period on their usual protein substitute, and then 7 days of the other study arm. All participants were randomized to receive both Golike and AA treatments

n=16 participants at risk
For the study Patients are randomised to receive: * The PKU GOLIKE treatment for 7 days as their last dose of protein substitute for the day in an amount equivalent to their usual protein substitute Proteine Equivalent; or * An amino acid protein substitute (AA treatment) for all daily doses for 7 days. Each the above mentioned treatments were followed by a 2-week washout period on their usual protein substitute, and then 7 days of the other study arm. In this Arm/Group, for PKU GOLIKE treatment we consider the data of all patients after the 7 days with PKU GOLIKE as their last dose of protein substitute for the day.
