If you are interested in exploring other options for treatment, there are currently 10 clinical trials availing themselves of participants with Wilson's Disease and two studies looking to incorporate Bis-Choline Tetrathiomolybdate into their protocols."

Answered by AI

Has the Food and Drug Administration authorized Bis-Choline Tetrathiomolybdate for public use?

"Bis-Choline Tetrathiomolybdate has some data pointing to its safety; as such, it was awarded a score of 2. However, there is no evidence that this drug can effectively treat any conditions."

Answered by AI

Are there any potential participants still being considered for this clinical experiment?

"Data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov implies this trial is not currently recruiting participants.
