Wilson disease

This study tests a one-time gene therapy called UX701 for adults with Wilson disease, a genetic condition that causes copper buildup. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help the body control copper levels, possibly allowing patients to take fewer or no daily medications. Ab…

This early-stage trial tests a single dose of VTX-801 gene therapy in 4 adults with Wilson's disease, a rare condition where copper builds up in the body. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help control copper levels, possibly allowing patients to stop their usua…

This study offers voluntary screening for newborns in North Carolina to detect a wide range of rare health conditions early. Using a small blood sample already collected at birth, the program tests for dozens of disorders, including spinal muscular atrophy, cystic fibrosis, and m…

This study tests new vitamin and mineral supplements called EasiVits for children aged 1-16 with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). These supplements have less carbohydrate and no flavor, so they can be used with different diets and kids can add their own taste. The goal is to se…

This study will collect and analyze genetic data from 1000 people with suspected inherited metabolic diseases, including conditions like epilepsy and mitochondrial disorders. Researchers at Karolinska University Hospital aim to improve diagnosis by using advanced genetic testing …

This study was designed to track how COVID-19 infection might worsen the condition of people with inherited metabolic diseases (IMD). Researchers planned to collect information from French patients with IMD who had or had COVID-19 to see how often their metabolic disease got wors…

This study surveys 30 adults with Wilson disease to learn about their daily management, treatment adherence, and interest in gene editing clinical trials. By gathering this information, researchers hope to design better future studies for potential gene therapies targeting specif…

This study will use special PET scans to see how gene therapy (UX704) changes copper distribution in the bodies of 5 people with Wilson disease. The goal is to understand if the therapy helps the liver handle copper better. It is an early, observational imaging study, not a test …
