Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Liver Cu Concentration at Week 48 (Treatment Period)
Baseline, Week 48 (Treatment Period)

Liver biopsy samples were taken for the assessment of liver Cu concentration. Multiple imputation was used to impute missing data at Week 48 due to any reason based on Baseline values.

Mean Daily Copper Balance: Day 1 Through Day 8
Accumulation: Day 1 through Day 8 (ALXN1840 15 mg)

Copper balance is defined as the difference between the measured copper input in food and drink, and the measured copper elimination in urine and feces, and was calculated as the average daily copper balance over the collection period.

Mean Daily Copper Balance: Day 31 Through Day 35
Accumulation: Day 31 through Day 35 (ALXN1840 30 mg)

Copper balance is defined as the difference between the measured copper input in food and drink, and the measured copper elimination in urine and feces, and was calculated as the average daily copper balance over the collection period.

Mean Daily Copper Balance: Day 25 Through Day 28
Accumulation: Day 25 through Day 28 (ALXN1840 15 mg)

Copper balance is defined as the difference between the measured copper input in food and drink, and the measured copper elimination in urine and feces, and was calculated as the average daily copper balance over the collection period.

Mean Daily Copper Balance: Day 36 Through Day 39
Accumulation: Day 36 through Day 39 (ALXN1840 30 mg)

Copper balance is defined as the difference between the measured copper input in food and drink, and the measured copper elimination in urine and feces, and was calculated as the average daily copper balance over the collection period.

Percentage Of Participants With Normalized Concentrations Of NCC
Week 24

Normalized concentrations of NCC was defined as who achieving or maintaining normalized levels of NCC (0.8 to 2.3 micromole \[μmol\]l/liter \[L\]\]) adjusted for Mo plasma concentration or reaching a reduction of at least 25% in NCC corrected for Mo if above the normal reference range at the time of enrollment. NCC was calculated by subtracting the amount of copper (Cu) bound to ceruloplasmin (CP) from the total plasma Cu concentration. Post-baseline NCC values were adjusted (corrected) to account for Cu bound in tripartite complexes with ALXN1840 and albumin. Descriptive statistics are reported.

Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis of celecoxib. Cmax is reported as nanograms (ng)/milliliter (mL).

Area Under The Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 To The Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUCt) Of Celecoxib With And Without The Coadministration Of ALXN1840
Baseline, up to 336 hours post-dose

Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of celecoxib. Area Under The Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 To The Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUCt) is reported as hours•ng/mL (h•ng/mL).

Area Under The Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 To Infinity (AUCinf) Of Celecoxib With And Without The Coadministration Of ALXN1840
Baseline, up to 336 hours post-dose

Blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of celecoxib. Area Under The Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve From Time 0 To Infinity (AUCinf) is reported as h•ng/mL.
