Copper in urine after stopping Wilson disease therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people who already have Wilson disease to understand how the condition changes over time. It may help researchers better predict future symptoms and improve care.
This study looks at how copper levels in urine change throughout the day and night in people with Wilson disease. If you take part, you will collect all your urine for 24 hours so researchers can measure copper at different times.
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 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 study tests an injection called LY-M003 for people with Wilson disease who have already been treated with standard medicines. The goal is to see if it is safe and works for them.
This study looks at how Wilson's disease affects the kidneys. It aims to better understand kidney problems in people with Wilson's disease, which could help improve care.
