NCT ID NCT07010575
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether people with Wilson's disease prefer a new once-daily version of the drug trientine over their usual treatment, which is taken multiple times a day. Ten adults on stable standard care tried the new formulation and reported their satisfaction and convenience. The goal was to see if a simpler dosing schedule could improve treatment experience.
