Efficacy of KL1333 in Adult Patients With Primary Mitochondrial Disease
The primary objective of the FALCON study is to evaluate the efficacy of KL1333 on selected disease manifestations of primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) following 48 weeks of treatment. This objective involves evaluating the efficacy of KL1333 versus placebo on fatigue symptoms and impacts on daily living as well as on …
Study of N-acetylcysteine in the Treatment of Patients With the m.3243A>G Mutation and Low Brain Glutathione Levels
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), an anti-oxidant, will be studied to investigate the effects on brain glutathione levels, cognitive skills, motor skills, and quality of life. A group of 18 participants will take either 1800, 3600 or 5400 mg per day of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for 3 months in this dose escalation study. The …
Evaluate the Safety and Therapeutic Effects of a Single Intravenous Infusion (IV) of Autologous CD34+ Cells Enriched With Allogenic Placenta-derived Mitochondria in Patients With a Diagnosis of Pearson Syndrome (PS)
Primary Mitochondrial diseases are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations in genes encoded by nuclear Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) or by mutations and/or deletions in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). While some mitochondrial disorders only affect a single organ (e.g., the eye in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy …
Combating the Diagnostic Impasse in Mitochondrial Diseases: a Transcriptomic Approach in Fibroblasts and Blood Cells
Next-generation sequencing (NGS), and in particular whole exome sequencing (WES) or genome sequencing (WGS), has enabled a significant technical advance that has considerably improved genetic diagnostics. However, around 50% of patients still remain undiagnosed and are in diagnostic limbo. One of the causes of this is pathogenic variants that modify …
KHENERFIN Study: A Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sonlicromanol in Primary Mitochondrial Diseases
The KHENERFIN study aims to determine whether the study medicine, sonlicromanol, is able to reduce symptoms of fatigue and the impact of fatigue on daily life, and whether sonlicromanol is able to improve physical abilities of people like balance control and lower limb skeletal muscle strength in people with mitochondrial …
Digital Health Technology for People With Mitochondrial Disease
Abstract: A lack of exercise combined with low levels of activity is prominent in people with Mitochondrial Disease (MD). Unfortunately, access to health professionals such as physiotherapists with experience in MD is difficult, especially in remote areas. The use of digital health technology (DHT) may be a feasible and acceptable …
Applying pGz in Mitochondrial Disease
This is a multi-aim study, studying the effects of conventional exercise (measured through Cardiopulomary Exercises Testing or an in-bed pedal exercise) and passive exercise through periodic acceleration (pGz). Aim 1 will focus on the differences between primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) patients and healthy volunteers. Aim 2 is an exploratory aim, …
Validation of Oxygen Nanosensor in Mitochondrial Myopathy
Past mitochondrial disease treatment studies have been unsuccessful in determining treatment efficacy, and a major factor has been the lack of validated biomarkers in mitochondrial myopathy (MM). There is currently a growing number of potential new treatments to be tested through MM clinical intervention trials, which has created a pressing …
Red Light Ptosis Proof-of-Concept
This study tests a new treatment to help with droopy eyelids (ptosis) and eye movement problems (squint) in children and young people with genetically confirmed mitochondrial conditions - using red-light. We use a torch to shine a red light through the closed eyelid for 3 minutes a day. The study …
Validation of Nanosensor Oxygen Measurement
Past mitochondrial disease treatment studies have been unsuccessful in determining treatment efficacy, and a major factor has been the lack of validated biomarkers in mitochondrial myopathy (MM). There is currently a growing number of potential new treatments to be tested through MM clinical intervention trials, which has created a pressing …
