“…Several uncontrolled open-label studies and case series support a significant reduction of blood Phe levels [ 193 , 194 , 311 , 433 , 442 , 444 – 451 , 453 – 455 , 458 – 464 ] and increased Phe tolerance [ 193 , 194 , 311 , 433 , 443 – 446 , 448 – 452 , 454 , 455 , 458 , 459 , 463 – 465 ]. These benefits have also been replicated in longer-term (investigated up to 5 years) studies [ 193 , 194 , 443 , 445 , 446 , 451 , 454 , 455 , 463 , 465 ]. Furthermore, less variability in blood Phe control has been described in 3 descriptive papers [ 311 , 454 , 460 ].…”
