Title:
MEANS AND METHODS FOR TREATING COPPER-RELATED DISEASES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/103094
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of (bio-)medicine, and more particularly to the treatment of copper-related diseases. Novel means and methods for depleting (excess) copper from organs and/or the circulation are provided. Agents with a high copper binding affinity and stabilized forms thereof are provided, as well as a novel treatment regimen. The means and methods of the present invention are particularly useful for treatment of Wilson Disease, but also for treatment of other conditions.
