Efficacy of a Health Empowerment Theory Based Health Information Literacy Promotion Intervention in Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome
The ENRICH study is aimed to Enpower patieNts with metabolic syndrome (Mets) to increase their Risk perception and to acquire health Information necessary for Capability building and promotion of Health information literacy, as well as health outcomes. The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of this …
Education & Care in RARE: Efficacy of Targeted Psychoeducational Intervention Among Pediatric Rare Disease Patients
"Rare Diseases" is an umbrella term including more than 8.000 different diseases which individually affect only a small percentage of people. Rare diseases predominantly affect children and adolescents and are associated with high medical and psychosocial burden of disease. The investigators invented Education & Care in RARE - a short-term, …
Short-term Fat Overfeeding on the Effects of Liver Metabolism
Despite work showing the overconsumption of saturated fatty acids (SFA) to be metabolically deleterious, debate continues about whether there is a link between SFA and cardiovascular disease risk. To explore this, we are undertaking a human in vivo parallel-design study, comparing two isocaloric high-fat diets; one enriched with SFA and …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Breath Mass Spectrometry in Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolically Healthy Obesity
This study aims to develop a non-invasive diagnostic method for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) through analysis of exhaled air. Using proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry combined with machine learning algorithms, we will characterize volatile organic compound profiles in 300 participants across three groups: MetS patients, MHO patients, and …
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 …
Time-Restricted Feeding Intervention in Metabolically-Unhealthy Postmenopausal Women
This is a randomized, parallel two-arm clinical trial design to study the efficacy of time-restricted feeding on metabolic risk in postmenopausal women, who may be particularly vulnerable to disruption of circadian eating rhythms and the associated metabolic dysfunction. It is hypothesized that time-restricted feeding will improve insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, …
