To evaluate the effects of a single dose of trientine in children ≥6 years and adult patients with Wilson's disease.
An open, single-dose study to determine the pharmacokinetics, and safety of oral administration of trientine dihydrochloride in both children and adult patients with Wilson's Disease. Blood samples will be taken pre-dose and at 10 time-points post-dose to investigate the pharmacokinetic profile of trientine dihydrochloride up to 12 hours after intake of study medication in 20 patients.

Pharmacokinetic measurements
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of trientine dihydrochloride in children ≥6 years and adult patients with Wilson's disease by PK analysis. Non-compartmental or model-independent methods will be used to derive pharmacokinetic parameters using individual patient plasma concentration-time data. Pharmacokinetic parameters will include the Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, and the concentration-time curved (AUC0-t) and AUCinf.
Time frame: Evaluation of PK parameters will occur at 11 time points:Pre-dose), and at 30 minutes, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-dose
