Can a One-Time gene fix cure wilson disease?
⭐️ CURE ⭐️ OngoingThis trial tests an experimental gene therapy called MWAV201 in adults with Wilson disease, a genetic condition that causes copper to build up in the body. The treatment uses a harmless virus to deliver a corrected gene, potentially restoring the body's ability to remove copper. …

Gene therapy could free wilson disease patients from daily pills
Disease control OngoingThis 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…

Hidden heart risks in Wilson's disease: a new scan could spot them early
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study investigates whether children with Wilson's disease, who appear to have normal heart function, may actually have subtle heart problems. Using advanced echocardiography, ECG, and a blood test for a heart stress marker, researchers will compare these children to healthy …

Wilson disease patients sought for survey to shape gene editing research
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis 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…

Tiny trial uses PET scans to peek at gene therapy for wilson disease
Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis 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 …
