Brief Summary:

Wilson Disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of impaired copper (CU) transport caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene. WTX101 (bis-choline tetrathiomolybdate) is a first-in-class copper-protein-binding agent with a unique mechanism of action, under investigation as a novel therapy for WD. It is formulated as an enteric coated tablet (15 mg strength) for oral administration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of WTX101 administered for 48 weeks compared to standard of care (SOC) in WD subjects aged 18 and older.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Wilson Disease	Drug: WTX101 Drug: SOC Therapy	Phase 3

Detailed Description:

This study is a randomized, rater-blinded, multi-center study assessing the efficacy and safety of an individualized WTX101 dosing regimen administered for 48 weeks, compared to SoC, in WD subjects aged 18 and older. Approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 5 to 10 North American sites and 15 to 25 sites in the rest of the world. Subjects who complete the 48-week treatment period will be offered to participate in an Extension Phase of the study to evaluate the long-term safety and durability of treatment effect of WTX101.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of WTX101 administered for 48 weeks, compared to SOC, on Cu control in WD subjects aged 18 and older. Copper control will be assessed in terms of the percentage change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks in non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper (NCC) levels. For WTX101-treated subjects, the NCC level will be corrected for the amount of Cu bound to the WTX101 tripartite complex (TPC) (NCCcorrected).

Study Type :	Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
EstimatedEnrollment :	102 participants
Allocation:	Randomized
Intervention Model:	Parallel Assignment
Masking:	Single (Outcomes Assessor)
Masking Description:	This study is rater-blinded for the Unified Wilson Disease Rating Scale (UWDRS) assessment only. The rater will be blinded and will have no knowledge of the subject's treatment assignment and no access to systems that could result in potential unblinding of treatment assignment. Both raters and subjects will be instructed to avoid lines of inquiry, questions, and responses that could potentially lead to unblinding of the subject's treatment. The blinding will be documented by the rater after each UWDRS assessment. The rater assessments will be strictly limited to administration of the protocol specified instruments and assessments.

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Evaluate the efficacy of WTX101 using standard of care as comparator and copper as the control assessed in terms of the percentage change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks in non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper levels [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]
   Evaluate the efficacy of WTX101 administered for 48 weeks, compared to standard of care, on copper control in Wilson Disease subjects aged 18 and older. Copper control will be assessed in terms of the percentage change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks in non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper levels. For WTX101-treated subjects, the non-ceruloplasmin-bound copper level will be corrected for the amount of copper bound to the WTX101 tripartite complex.
   
   

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Safety and tolerability of individualized dosing of WTX101 by descriptive statistics via the Safety Analysis Set dataset [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]
   Safety and tolerability will be determined over the course of the study period by descriptive statistics via the Safety Analysis Set dataset. This dataset includes all subjects who received at least 1 dose of randomized treatment. Subjects will be summarized according to the treatment actually received.
   
   
2. Effects of WTX101 on hepatic status [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]

   Evaluate the effects of WTX101 on hepatic status assessed by the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. The MELD uses the subject's values for serum bilirubin, serum creatinine, and the international normalized ratio for prothrombin time (INR) to predict survival. It is calculated according to the following formula:

   MELD = 3.78×ln[serum bilirubin (mg/dL)] + 11.2×ln[INR] + 9.57×ln[serum creatinine (mg/dL)] + 6.43.

   
   
3. Effects of WTX101 on disability status [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]
   Evaluate the effects of WTX101 on disability status assessed by the Unified WD Rating Scale (UWDRS) Part II which consists of a historical review of daily activity items and is reported by the subject or family.
   
   
4. Effects of WTX101 on neurological status [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]
   Evaluate the effects of WTX101 on neurological status assessed by the Unified WD Rating Scale (UWDRS) Part III which consists of a neurological examination performed by a blinded neurologist.
   
   
5. Global effects of WTX101 on clinical symptoms as assessed by the Investigator on the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement Scale (CGI-I) and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (CGI-S) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]
   Evaluate the global effects of WTX101 on clinical symptoms performed by the Investigator using a composite assessment which include the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement Scale (a 7-point scale that assess how much the subject's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline and rated from 1 to 7) and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (a 7-point scale that assess severity of a subject's illness relative to a baseline and rated from 1 to 7).
   
   
6. Effects of WTX101 on NCC responder rate [ Time Frame: Change from baseline (Day 1) to 48 weeks ]
   Evaluate the effects of WTX101 on the NCC responder rate
