Congenital myopathy

This study tests an oral drug called TTI-0102 in 12 people with MELAS, a rare genetic disorder that causes muscle weakness, strokes, and fatigue. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 6 months. Researchers will measure walking ability, fatigue, and quality of life…

This Phase 2b trial tests an oral drug called zagociguat in 43 adults with MELAS syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes fatigue, muscle weakness, and stroke-like episodes. Participants take either 15 mg, 30 mg, or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The study measures changes in…

This study looked at whether a high-fat diet changes how children with mitochondrial disease burn energy. 36 children aged 5 to 21 were randomly assigned to eat either a normal or high-fat diet for a month, then switched. Researchers measured their resting energy use and body com…

This study tested a new drug called OMT-28 in 28 people with primary mitochondrial disease, a condition that affects how cells produce energy. Participants took the drug once daily for 6 months, and researchers measured safety, blood markers of inflammation, and symptoms like fat…

This study looked at the safety of vatiquinone in 101 people with inherited mitochondrial disease who had already taken the drug in a previous study or treatment plan. The goal was to track any side effects until the drug became commercially available or the program ended. Partic…

This Phase 3 trial tested a daily injection called elamipretide in 102 adults with primary mitochondrial myopathy, a genetic condition that causes muscle weakness and fatigue. Participants received either the drug or a placebo for 48 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug co…

This study tested a powered leg exoskeleton (Keeogo) in 50 people with various muscle disorders to see if it is safe and helps them walk better. Participants performed walking tests with and without the device. The goal was to see if the device could improve walking distance and …

This study tested a wearable robotic suit called MyoSuit that assists knee and hip movement in people with various muscle disorders. 32 participants used the device to perform walking tests, and researchers checked for safety and any immediate improvements in walking ability. The…

This study followed 78 people with GNE myopathy, a rare genetic disease that causes progressive muscle weakness starting in young adulthood. Researchers collected medical history, blood samples, and muscle function tests over up to two years to understand how the disease progress…

This completed study looked at how muscle oxygen levels change during exercise in people with various neuromuscular diseases compared to healthy volunteers. Seventeen participants did a knee-extension exercise while a device measured muscle oxygen. The goal was to understand diff…

This study looked at whether showing health warning messages in a mobile app where people buy alcohol affects their purchasing. Over 11,700 adults in Sweden took part. One group saw rotating health warnings, while the other saw standard messages. The researchers tracked purchases…

This small pilot study looked at whether simple breath and urine tests can measure how well muscles produce energy in children with metabolic myopathies (rare muscle disorders). Three participants completed a 12-week at-home physiotherapy program. The goal was to see if these non…
