Filter by:The main objective and purpose of the Registry is to know the current status of Wilson Disease in Spain. As secondary objectives, the prevalence and incidence of the disease will be analysed. Likewise, the analysis aims to define future areas of interest in its pathogenesis, diagnosis, natural history, follow-up, prognosis and treatment. Improving knowledge at a national level can help to design screening strategies and improve diagnostic circuits.
Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder characterized by an accumulation of copper in the body, mainly in the liver and brain. Patients suffering from this disease are monitored by liver function tests, blood copper levels, and 24-hour urinary copper determinations. Treatment is based either on chelating the copper accumulated in the body using D-penicillamine or Trientine or on limiting intestinal copper absorption with zinc salts. Monitoring copper elimination in urine collected over 24 hours is essential for estimating a patient's copper load, adapting treatment dosage, and detecting any copper deficiency. Nevertheless, urine collection is often complicated for patients, given the obvious constraints of collecting urine over 24 hours. Without this, clinical decisions are usually made based on spot urine. There is no official recommendation for monitoring urinary copper elimination other than on 24-hour urine. According to studies on healthy volunteers under physiological conditions, urinary copper elimination occurs according to a circadian rhythm, with minimal copper elimination between 8 pm and 4 am and maximum between 8 am and noon. The study would aim to find the period of the day best correlated with 24h urinary copper excretion
Primary objective - Collection of patients with wilson disease either presented with neurological or hepatic symptoms - Assessment of psychiatric and cognitive disorders in both groups by using specific scales Secondary objective - correlation of MRI brain findings with cognitive & psychiatric symptoms found in the patients ,if possible.
This non-interventional Real-World Evidence (RWE) study aims to describe non-ceruloplasmin copper values obtained using a new NCC Speciation assay by taking a small (up to 10mLs) volume of additional blood from patients with Wilson's Disease, around the time when routine blood sampling is expected to be scheduled by the treating physician. Data will be collected over an approximate 12-month period.
Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
This is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center EAP, designed to provide early access to ALXN1840 for eligible patients with WD.
The main purpose of the study is to confirm how long ALXN1840 stays in the body of Japanese and non-Japanese healthy participants (that is, pharmacokinetic [PK] profile).
Patients with Wilson disease have poorer dental and periodontal health and a have lower oral quality of life than control patients. Patients with a neurological form would also more frequently present limitations in the function of the masticatory apparatus. Systemic treatments for Wilson disease are associated with lesions of the oral mucosa. Analysis of copper level in saliva could testify to the effectiveness of copper depletion in treated patients The main objective is to compare the state of dental health between: patients with Wilson disease in the hepatic form and patients with the neurological form, and a population of controls.
This registry concerns adults and children with Wilson's disease. The collection of a large amount of data will allow a better understanding of the epidemiology of this rare disease, in particular the age of onset according to the hepatic or hepato-neurological forms, but also the geographical distribution of patients consulting in France. This database will also make it possible to know all the therapies prescribed to "Wilsonian" patients. The genetic study of these patients will make it possible to specify the various genetic mutations involved in Wilson's disease. The information (clinical, biological, radiological and genetic) relating to the disease will be entered by a doctor or a professional specialising in Wilson's disease.
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).
