Wilson Therapeutics' lead product, Decuprate, is the proprietary bis-choline salt of tetrathiomolybdate. Decuprate is initially being developed as a novel treatment for Wilson's disease, a rare genetic disease that affects approximately 1 in 30,000, causing copper overload in the liver, brain and other tissues and resulting in organ damage and dysfunction. Decuprate has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of Wilson's disease in both Europe and the United States.
