Brief Summary

This is a single center, Phase 1, randomized, open-label, single-dose, 2 treatment, 2-period,2-sequence, crossover study designed to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sapropterin between the Test and Reference products in healthy Participants.

Detailed Description

In each period, subjects will receive a single 10 mg/kg dose of sapropterin dihydrochloride on Day 1, under fed conditions, followed by 24 hours of PK sampling.

The study will include a screening visit from Day -30 to Day -1. In each period, eligible subjects will be admitted to the clinical site on Day -1 and will be confined until completion of the assessments on Day 2. There will be a washout period of at least 7 days between doses.

6. Be informed of the nature of the study and give written consent prior to any study procedure.

Exclusion Criteria

1. History of clinically significant neurologic, hematologic, endocrine, oncologic, pulmonary, immunologic, genitourinary, psychiatric, or cardiovascular disease or any other condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the participant or impact the validity of the study results.

2. Clinically significant illness and/or surgery.

3. Known or suspected carcinoma.

4. History of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reaction to sapropterin dihydrochloride or any other drug substances with similar activity.

5. History of or predisposition to seizure which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the participant or impact the validity of the study results.

6. History of upper gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal inflammation, esophagitis, gastritis, pharyngitis, or oropharyngeal pain, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the participant or impact the validity of the study results.

7. History of abuse of medicinal product or drugs within the last three (3) years.

8. History of alcohol addiction requiring treatment.

9. History or presence of alcoholism within the last three (3) years. (>40 g ethanol/day or >10 units per week [one (1) unit =150 mL of wine, or 360 mL of beer, or 45 mL of 45% alcohol])
