Details and patient eligibility

About

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALXN1840 (formerly called WTX101) administered for 48 weeks compared to standard of care (SoC) in Wilson Disease (WD) participants aged 12 and older in the Primary Evaluation Period. In addition, efficacy and safety will be evaluated during an optional 60-month Extension Period.

Full description

The study consists of 2 cohorts. Cohort 1: Participants who have received SoC therapy for > 28 days and Cohort 2: Participants who are treatment-naïve or who have received SoC therapy for ≤ 28 days.

All enrolled participants were randomized by cohort in a 2:1 ratio to treatment with ALXN1840 or SoC (either as continued therapy in Cohort 1 or as continued or initial therapy in Cohort 2).

Enrollment: 214 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
