MRI scan matching in Wilson's disease prognosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether a special type of MRI scan (DWI-ADC matching) can help doctors predict short-term recovery in people with Wilson's disease who are receiving de-copper therapy (treatment to remove excess copper) for at least 4 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Wilson's disease (a condition where copper builds up in the body).
- You have had an MRI scan that shows specific bright and dark areas (DWI and ADC changes) in your brain.
- You are willing to receive de-copper treatment (copper-removing therapy) for at least 4 weeks in the hospital.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests an experimental mRNA treatment (DSL101) for adults with Wilson disease. It's for people whose condition is stable on current therapy and who have certain genetic markers. The goal is to see if the new treatment can help the body process copper better and reduce the need for standard medicines.
This study looks at whether Wilson disease affects the heart, using MRI scans (and possibly contrast dye). Your results may help doctors better understand cardiac (heart) involvement and how it progresses in Wilson disease.
This trial uses a special PET scan with a copper tracer to see how well gene therapy is working in people with Wilson disease. It may help doctors understand if the treatment is helping your body handle copper properly.
This trial is for people who already have a genetic diagnosis of Wilson disease. It looks at whether specific lab tests and a physical eye finding can help confirm and support the diagnosis.
This study is looking at what happens to copper levels in the urine when people with Wilson disease briefly stop their medicine. It may help doctors understand how well your body controls copper without treatment.
This study looks for early signs of heart problems in people with Wilson's disease. It uses imaging tests to check the heart, which may help catch issues early.
