Summary

This trial tests a new gene therapy called HMI-102 in adults with PKU, a genetic condition. The therapy aims to help their bodies produce an enzyme they are missing. Participants will receive the treatment and be monitored over several months. HMI-102 is designed to treat PKU by delivering the PAH gene to produce the missing enzyme.

Eligible Conditions
  • Pyridoxine-Dependent Epilepsy (PDE)
  • Tetrahydrobiopterin Deficiency
  • Phenylketonuria
