Study of ALXN1840 Versus Standard of Care in Pediatric Participants With Wilson Disease

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Wilson Disease
Interventions
Drug: Standard of Care
Registration Number
NCT05047523
Lead Sponsor
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics of ALXN1840 versus standard of care in pediatric participants with Wilson disease (WD).

Detailed Description

Participants who complete the 48 weeks of treatment in Period 1 will have the option to receive ALXN1840 for 24 weeks in Period 2 (open-label extension).

Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent Change From Baseline to Week 48 in Non-ceruloplasmin-bound Copper in PlasmaBaseline, Week 48

Plasma samples were planned to be collected to measure ceruloplasmin-bound copper. Due to the early termination of the study, data for this Outcome Measure were not collected for any of the cohorts.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) During the Primary Evaluation PeriodBaseline up to Week 48

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered the study drug and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs with onset after the first dose of study intervention or existing events that worsened in severity after the first dose of study intervention. A summary of all Serious Adverse Events and Other Adverse Events (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.
