Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, UX701, to see if it is safe for people with Wilson Disease and if it helps regulate copper levels.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with confirmed Wilson disease who have been avoiding high copper foods and taking copper chelators or zinc therapy consistently for at least 6 months. They should be able to follow the study's procedures, including blood and urine tests. People with significant liver inflammation, pre-existing antibodies to AAV9 capsid, severe neurological issues, a MELD score over 13, or history of liver transplant cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing UX701 gene transfer against a placebo in patients with Wilson disease. It aims to assess the safety of single IV doses of UX701 and its effectiveness on regulating copper levels in the body. The best dose will be chosen based on safety and efficacy data collected during the trial.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune response against the AAV9 vector used in gene transfer such as mild flu-like symptoms, muscle pain or discomfort at injection site. Long-term side effects are unknown due to the novelty of this treatment.

Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Stage 3: Placebo or UX701Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized in Stage 2 to UX701 will receive a single, peripheral IV infusion of normal saline (placebo). Participants randomized in Stage 2 to placebo will be eligible for a single, peripheral IV infusion of UX701 at the selected dose.
Group II: Stage 2: UX701 or PlaceboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants randomized 2:1 to receive UX701 or Placebo. Participants randomized to UX701 receive a single, peripheral IV infusion of UX701 at a dose selected in Stage 1. Participants randomized to placebo will receive a single, peripheral IV infusion of normal saline (placebo).
Group III: Stage 1: UX701 Dose Level 3Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receive a single, peripheral IV infusion of UX701 at dose level 3.
Group IV: Stage 1: UX701 Dose Level 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receive a single, peripheral IV infusion of UX701 at dose level 2.
Group V: Stage 1: UX701 Dose Level 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants receive a single, peripheral intravenous (IV) infusion of UX701 at dose level 1.
