Assess net copper (Cu) balance with daily repeat-dose ALXN1840 treatment (15 mg and 30 mg) in participants with Wilson disease (WD) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Assess change in Cu balance in response to ALXN1840 15 mg/day and 30 mg/day during ALXN1840 accumulation and at steady state periods versus the pretreatment baseline in participants with WD
• Investigate the effect of ALXN1840 (15 mg/day and 30 mg/day) on the disposition of Cu in participants with WD
• Investigate the effect of ALXN1840 on the disposition of molybdenum (Mo) at steady state at 15 mg/day and 30 mg/day in participants with WD
• Assess steady-state total Mo balance as a measure of ALXN1840 15 mg/day and 30 mg/day in participants with WD
• Assess accumulation of Mo with ALXN1840 treatment at 15 mg/day and 30 mg/day in participants with WD
• Determine the steady-state plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) of total Mo and plasma ultrafiltrate (PUF) Mo (as surrogate measures of ALXN1840, 15 mg and 30 mg) in participants with WD. |

8. History or presence of/significant history of or current cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrinological, hematological, or neurological disorders, or psychiatric disorder that in the opinion of the Investigator may constitute a risk when taking the study intervention; or may interfere with the interpretation of data.
9. Previous treatment with ALXN1840 or other form of tetrathiomolybdate within 1 year prior to dosing.
10. Previous treatment with zinc within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit.
11. Participation in a clinical study of an experimental or unapproved/unlicensed therapy at the same time or within 90 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the Screening Visit.
12. Participants in renal failure, defined as in end-stage renal disease on dialysis (chronic kidney disease [CKD] stage 5) or creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min.
13. Pregnant (or females who are planning to become pregnant) or breastfeeding females (women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening).
