Description

Summary

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the change in liver copper (Cu) concentration following 48 weeks of treatment with ALXN1840 in adult participants with Wilson Disease (WD) who have been previously treated for at least 1 year with standard of care (that is, trientine, penicillamine, or zinc). In the Treatment Period, efficacy and safety of ALXN1840 will be assessed at Week 48.

Official Title

A Phase 2, Single-arm Pathologist-blinded 48-week Study Using Liver Biopsy Specimens to Assess Copper Concentration and Histopathologic Changes in ALXN1840-treated Patients With Wilson Disease Followed by an up to 48-weeks Extension Period

Details

Participants who complete the 48-week Treatment Period will be offered the opportunity to continue their treatment in a 48-week Extension Period that will offer additional time for evaluation of long-term efficacy and safety of ALXN1840. There will be no liver biopsies during the Extension Period.
