A Global, Multicenter Study to Assess Maternal, Fetal and Infant Outcomes of Exposure to Palynziq® (Pegvaliase) During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding (PALomino)

March 20, 2026 updated by: BioMarin Pharmaceutical
This is a Phase 4 observational study designed to assess the impact of Palynziq ® (pegvaliase) treatment in pregnant women with PKU and on their offspring who were exposed to pegvaliase at any time during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Women prescribed pegvaliase by their healthcare provider (HCP) who become pregnant during treatment may decide to participate in the study and enroll via a centralized call center model. Upon consent, data will be collected from the patient's HCP(s) retrospectively for at least 3 months prior to Last Menstrual Period (LMP). Data will be collected during pregnancy and throughout the infant's first year of life. Pegvaliase exposure will be recorded during pregnancy and breastfeeding including exposure during each trimester of pregnancy. Duration of individual subject participation will be up to approximately 21 months.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Pregnant women with PKU who have been treated with Palynziq (pegvaliase) within 2 weeks of their last menstrual period

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject (or a legally authorized representative) consent obtained prior to enrollment. Consent will be obtained in compliance with any country-specific regulations or requirements
  • Confirmation of ongoing pregnancy. Subjects with unknown outcomes will be classified as prospective pregnancies; subjects who have undergone prenatal testing (eg, targeted ultrasound, amniocentesis) regardless of findings will be classified as retrospective pregnancies
  • Diagnosed with PKU per local standard of care
  • Documentation that the subject was treated with pegvaliase at any point starting from 2 weeks prior to the date of LMP
  • Agrees to permit the Investigator (ie, CRP, CCA, PI) to contact the subject's HCPs (eg, PCP, PKU-treating physician, OB, nurse, midwife) and the infant's HCP (eg, pediatrician, neonatologist) for medical information

Exclusion Criteria:

• Currently participating in a BioMarin sponsored interventional study of any investigational product, device, or procedure

Pregnant women exposed to pegvaliase within 2 weeks prior to LMP.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pregnancy outcome and infant development for women who have been treated with Palynziq (pegvaliase) within 2 weeks of their last menstrual period
Time Frame: 10 years
To estimate the frequency of pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, live birth, and termination) among subjects with PKU treated with pegvaliase during pregnancy and fetal/infant outcomes (all major congenital malformations [MCMs] and specifically microcephaly and congenital heart defects], FGR, small for gestational age [SGA], low birth weight, preterm birth, failure to thrive, and developmental delays) among their offspring exposed to pegvaliase during pregnancy.
10 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pregnancy Outcomes
Time Frame: 10 years
To examine differences in the frequency of pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, live birth, and termination) and fetal/infant outcomes (all MCMs and specifically microcephaly and congenital heart defects, FGR, SGA, low birth weight, preterm birth, failure to thrive, and developmental delays) among subjects with PKU treated with pegvaliase during pregnancy and their offspring by maternal blood Phe levels
10 years
Maternal Pegvaliase use during breastfeeding
Time Frame: 10 years
To estimate the frequency of selected outcomes in subjects with PKU treated with pegvaliase during breastfeeding (low milk supply) and their infants (failure to thrive and SAEs) through their first year of life
10 years
Pregnancy Outcomes
Time Frame: 10 years
To compare the frequency of pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, live birth, and termination) and fetal/infant outcomes (all MCMs and specifically microcephaly and congenital heart defects, FGR, SGA, low birth weight, preterm birth, failure to thrive, and developmental delays) among subjects with PKU treated with pegvaliase during pregnancy and their offspring to information on those same outcomes in non-pegvaliase exposed, pregnant women with PKU as described in reference literature
10 years
Serious Adverse Events
Time Frame: 10 years
To estimate the frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs) other than CMs in infants exposed to pegvaliase during pregnancy through their first year of life
