Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this Phase 2, randomized study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral JNT-517 in adolescents (12 to less than 18 years of age) with PKU. Participants will receive either JNT-517 or placebo and will be blinded to their treatment assignment. Participants will have a 4 in 5 (or 80%) chance of receiving JNT-517. The study will last for up to 63 days including a Screening period, Treatment period and Follow-up period for safety.

Participants will:

* Take 75 mg JNT-517 or a placebo BID (2x per day) for 28 days
* Visit the clinic or have a mobile health nurse visit your home for checkups and tests
* Collect urine sample at home and bring to clinic on specified days
* Keep a food diary 3 days before each study visit
