Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the effect of ALXN1840 on hepatic copper uptake in healthy participants, compared to the effect of penicillamine, trientine and placebo.;Secondary Objective: • To investigate the effect of ALXN1840 on copper uptake in the gallbladder, pancreas, kidney, small and large intestines and heart compared to the effect of penicillamine, trientine and placebo. • To investigate ALXN1840’s effect on metallothionein levels compared to the effect of penicillamine, trientine and placebo. ;Primary end point(s): 1. A comparison of mean hepatic standard uptake value (SUV) between the three groups vs. placebo before and after intervention ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Second half of 2021. Patient health will be monitored.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Comparison of mean SUV’s in other organs of interest (small intestine, colon, kidney, gall bladder, pancreas, heart) between the three groups vs. placebo before and after intervention 2. Comparison of leukocyte MT expression between the three groups vs. placebo before and after the intervention. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Second half of 2021
