Lessons learned from 5 years of pegvaliase in US clinics: A case series
Experience from the presented cases and 5 years of expert experience with pegvaliase in the real-world setting provide insight and guidance for healthcare professionals initiating and managing pegvaliase treatment in complex PKU cases. These cases demonstrate that, through comprehensive assessment and addressing barriers, pegvaliase treatment can be successful in adults with PKU, regardless of prior treatment success, age, socioeconomic, cognitive, or executive function challenges, as well as in those with comorbidities or considering pregnancy. Ongoing documentation of clinical experience is crucial for advancing the management of individuals receiving this treatment.
