Nutrition management of PKU with pegvaliase therapy: update of the web-based PKU nutrition management guideline recommendations

The web-based GMDI/SERN PKU Nutrition Management Guideline, published before approval of pegvaliase pharmacotherapy, offers guidance for nutrition management of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) treated with dietary therapy and/or sapropterin. An update of this guideline aims to provide recommendations that improve clinical outcomes and promote consistency and best practice in the nutrition management of individuals with PKU receiving pegvaliase therapy. Methodology includes: formulation of a research question; review, critical appraisal, and abstraction of peer-reviewed studies and unpublished practice literature; expert input through Delphi surveys and a Nominal Group process; and external review by metabolic experts.
