Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation disorder

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 Phase 3 trial tested a gene therapy called GS010 in 98 people with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), a genetic condition that leads to rapid vision loss. Participants received injections of the therapy or a placebo into both eyes. The study measured changes in vision…

This study followed 62 people with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare inherited eye disease that causes vision loss, for up to 5 years after they received a single gene therapy treatment called GS010. The goal was to see if the treatment remained safe and if any vis…

This phase 3 trial tested a single injection of GS010 gene therapy in 39 people with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) who had vision loss for 6 months or less. The treatment aims to improve vision by delivering a working copy of the ND4 gene to the eye. Results measured c…

This study tested a one-time gene therapy injection, GS010, in 37 adults with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a genetic condition that causes rapid vision loss. Participants had vision loss for 6 to 12 months before treatment. The goal was to see if the therapy could im…

This study tested a gene therapy called GS010 in 19 adults with Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare inherited eye disease that causes rapid vision loss. The main goal was to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable at different doses. The therapy uses a harmless vi…

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 study tested two different chemotherapy drugs (Treosulfan and Busulfan) given before a stem cell transplant in 106 children with serious non-cancer diseases like immune disorders, metabolic diseases, blood disorders, and bone marrow failure. The goal was to see which drug le…

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 new method called global metabolomic profiling to diagnose inborn errors of metabolism, a group of rare genetic disorders. Researchers compared this approach to traditional testing in 240 participants. The goal was to see if the new method could more accuratel…

This study created a registry of medical records from women with inborn errors of metabolism—rare conditions that affect how the body turns food into energy. Researchers collected data from past or current pregnancies and followed babies for one year after birth. The goal was to …

This completed study looked at how the social networks of caregivers affect their stress and health when caring for someone with an inherited disease. Researchers surveyed over 680 participants, including family members and formal caregivers, to understand caregiving burden and s…

This study looked at 44 people with a rare inherited eye condition called Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) that causes vision loss. Researchers reviewed medical records and asked participants about their vision, health, and quality of life. The goal was to better understa…

This study tested whether a powerful DNA test called high-throughput exome sequencing can find genetic causes of multiple birth defects in fetuses when standard exams fail. Researchers studied 100 fetuses with at least two malformations and no prior diagnosis. They compared the n…

This study tested whether a fast type of genetic test called rapid genome sequencing can find the cause of birth defects seen on ultrasound more quickly than current methods. Researchers included 184 pregnancies with certain ultrasound findings. The goal was to see if results cou…

This study looked at tiny molecules in the blood called miRNAs to see if they could help doctors tell apart two similar conditions in boys: undescended testicles (which need surgery) and retractile testicles (which usually get better on their own). Researchers took blood samples …

This study tested how well two different coenzyme Q10 supplements are absorbed into the blood after a single dose. Twenty-five healthy adults aged 50-65 took each product in a crossover design. The goal was to see if a new experimental formula (BMT® coenzyme Q10) leads to higher …

This study looked at how many girls and young women aged 11 to 20 with chronic diseases (like diabetes or immune conditions) got the HPV vaccine, compared to those without chronic illness. Researchers reviewed records of 223 participants from a hospital in France. The goal was to…

This study looked at whether whole genome sequencing (a complete read of a person's DNA) can help diagnose leukodystrophies, a group of rare brain diseases that are hard to identify. Researchers enrolled 236 children with white matter abnormalities on brain scans but no known gen…

This study looked at 39 people with multiple sclerosis who have chronic vision problems. Researchers used eye exams, scans, and electrical tests to see if the vision loss is caused by nerve scarring (demyelination) or nerve cell death (degeneration). The goal is to better underst…
