Summary

Hypothesis: The investigators postulate that patients with Wilson disease who are asymptomatic or who have been effectively treated for their symptoms and are in a maintenance phase therapy can be safely and effectively treated with a single daily dosage of the chelating agent trientine. Specific Aims: To demonstrate that a single daily treatment with trientine is as effective or better than a patient's current maintenance therapy. This will be accomplished by performance of a case control prospective study of patients on their prior therapy, and during a period of treatment with a single weight based dose regimen of trientine. The primary endpoint for this study is the demonstration of equivalence to a patient's prior therapy. Secondary endpoints include: 1) demonstration of stability or improvement in parameters of copper metabolism; 2) improvement in adherence to therapy; 3) no progression of liver disease (defined by changes in synthetic function, albumin and INR, and fibrosis by Fibrotest).
