N2 - Phenylketonuria is characterized by intellectual disability and behavioral, psychiatric, and movement disorders resulting from phenylalanine (Phe) accumulation. Standard-of-care treatment involves a Phe-restricted diet plus medical nutrition therapy (MNT), with or without sapropterin dihydrochloride, to reduce blood Phe levels. Pegvaliase is an injectable enzyme substitution treatment approved for adult patients with blood Phe >600 μmol/L despite ongoing management. A previous comparative effectiveness analysis using data from the Phase 3 PRISM trials of pegvaliase (NCT01819727 and NCT01889862) and the Phenylketonuria Demographics, Outcomes and Safety Registry (PKUDOS; NCT00778206) suggested that pegvaliase was more effective at lowering mean blood Phe levels than sapropterin + MNT or MNT alone at 1 and 2 years of treatment. The current work augments and complements the previous analysis by including additional follow-up from the completed studies, robust methods reflecting careful consideration of issues with the distribution of Phe, and alternative methods for adjustment that are important for control of potential confounding in comparative effectiveness. Median blood Phe levels were lower, and median intact protein intakes were higher, in the pegvaliase group (n = 183) than in the sapropterin + MNT (n = 82) and MNT (n = 67) groups at Years 1, 2, and 3. In the pegvaliase group, median blood Phe levels decreased from baseline (1244 μmol/L) to Year 1 (535 μmol/L), Year 2 (142 μmol/L), and Year 3 (167 μmol/L). In the sapropterin + MNT group, median blood Phe levels decreased from baseline (900 μmol/L) to Year 1 (588 μmol/L) and Year 2 (592 μmol/L), and increased at Year 3 (660 μmol/L). In the MNT group, median blood Phe levels decreased slightly from baseline (984 μmol/L) to Year 1 (939 μmol/L) and Year 2 (941 μmol/L), and exceeded baseline levels at Year 3 (1157 μmol/L). The model-estimated proportions of participants achieving blood Phe ≤600 μmol/L were 41%, 100%, and 100% in the pegvaliase group at Years 1, 2, and 3, respectively, compared with 55%, 58%, and 38% in the sapropterin + MNT group and 5%, 16%, and 0% in the MNT group. The estimated proportions of participants achieving more stringent blood Phe targets of ≤360 μmol/L and ≤120 μmol/L were also higher in the pegvaliase group than in the other groups at Years 2 and 3. Overall, our results indicate that, compared with standard therapy, pegvaliase induces a substantial, progressive, and sustained decrease in blood Phe levels - to a much greater extent than sapropterin + MNT or MNT alone - which is expected to improve long-term outcomes in patients with phenylketonuria.
