Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Must be ≥12 to ≤65 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent
- Must have a diagnosis of classical HCU based on clinical, biochemical, and/or molecular genetic testing
- Plasma tHcy ≥80 µM at Screening visit, with allowance for up to 18 participants who may be enrolled with a Screening plasma tHcy ≥50 to \<80 µM
- Participants who can become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test before starting the study and must use a highly effective form of birth control (less than 1% risk of pregnancy per year) during the study and for at least 4 weeks after the last dose.
- Willing to maintain a generally stable diet for the duration of the study (unless changes are required based on medical/safety reasons)
- Willing to maintain generally stable intake and doses of betaine, pyridoxine, and medical food for the duration of the study (unless changes are required based on medical/safety reasons)
Exclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of Marfan syndrome, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency, or disorder of cobalamin metabolism
- Concurrent disease or condition (eg, history or presence of clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, neurological, oncologic, or psychiatric disease) that would interfere with study participation or safety (excluding complications of HCU).
- History of major thrombotic event (eg, cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism) in the previous 6 months.
- Body weight ≥160 kg.
- Use or planned use of any injectable drugs containing PEG (excluding PEG-containing vaccines)
- Any previous exposure to pegtibatinase and/or previous participation in a clinical study that included administration of pegtibatinase or pegtarviliase

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
