Hormone problems in children with Wilson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at hormone (endocrine) problems in children with Wilson's disease. It aims to understand how the disease affects growth, puberty, and other hormone functions, which can help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 18 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed diagnosis of Wilson's disease.
- Your child can be newly diagnosed or already on treatment (like chelation or zinc therapy).
- Neither your child nor you must have any other hormone-related conditions that are not part of Wilson's disease (for example, thyroid or pituitary problems).
- Your child should not be taking any medications that affect hormones—like steroids, thyroid replacements, or contraceptives—unless they are given for Wilson's disease.
- Your child should not have any other long-term illnesses (like cancer or chronic kidney failure) that could make hormone test results confusing.

This study measures how much copper is present in breast milk in people with Wilson’s disease. It aims to provide safer guidance for breastfeeding during treatment, including during pregnancy.
This study tests a new gene therapy called LY-M003 that may help people with Wilson's disease by fixing the faulty gene that causes copper buildup. It's for adults who are already on standard treatment and have a confirmed genetic diagnosis.
This study follows people who have the genetic cause of Wilson disease, including people who feel well and family members. Researchers want to better understand Wilson disease and what to watch for over time.
This trial is testing an experimental gene therapy called PM577 that aims to fix the faulty gene causing Wilson disease. It might offer a new treatment option that could reduce or replace the need for daily medications.
This study looks at the daily challenges people with Wilson's disease face in Upper Egypt, including emotional stress, diet, and access to services. If you join, you'll help researchers understand these issues so they can improve care for others like you.
This trial is a patient registry that collects health information from people with Wilson’s disease, including those without symptoms yet and those taking any type of treatment. It helps researchers understand the disease and how it progresses, which can support future studies and care improvements.
