Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical outcome specific to the retrospective part of the study
Time Frame: 48 months
The clinical course of neurological and hepatic disease for each available time point after initiation of treatment (6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months, and at the last available time point while taking second line trientine) will be scored (Investigator's score) based on neurological and hepatic status at the time of initiating trientine as: 1 = Unchanged 2 = Improved but not normal 3 = Improved to normal 4 = Asymptomatic over duration of therapy 5 = Worsened.
48 months
Clinical outcome specific to the prospective part of the study
Time Frame: 12 months
The clinical course of neurological and hepatic disease will be scored (Investigator's score) based on the status at 6 and 12 months after Baseline as: 1 = Unchanged 2 = Improved but not normal 3 = Improved to normal 4 = Asymptomatic over duration of therapy 5 = Worsened A patient will be counted as a responder if they have a rating of ≤4 at the 12 month visit for both the neurological and hepatic Investigator's score. They will be counted as a non-responder if they have a rating = 5 for one or both scores at the 12 month visit or if they were discontinued from the study for any reason prior to the 12 month visit.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety Endpoint Applicable to both the Retrospective and Prospective Parts of the Study
Time Frame: Up to 60 months
All AEs related to trientine treatment, and AEs leading to discontinuation of trientine will be assessed at each available study time point.
Up to 60 months
Quality of Life Endpoints for the Prospective Part of the Study
Time Frame: 12 months
The QoL questionnaires will be completed for each time point and data will be compared to baseline (prospective part) after 6 and 12 months
