Kadmon’s Wilson’s Disease Generic Treatment Earns FDA Approval

October 31, 2019

The FDA granted the go-ahead for Kadmon’s Clovique (trientine hydrochloride), a branded generic for treating Wilson’s disease in patients intolerant to penicillamine.

It is the first agency-approved trientine product available in a portable blister pack that offers  room temperature stability for up to 30 days.

Wilson’s disease, also known as hepatolenticular degeneration, is a very rare, treatable disease that prevents patients’ bodies from eliminating copper properly, allowing the metal to accumulate to potentially life-threatening levels.
