This trial tests whether an 8-week course of the immunosuppressive drug prednisone can reduce episodes of ventricular tachycardia (a potentially fatal fast heart rhythm) and improve heart function in people with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and confirmed heart inflammation. Partic…

This program offered vatiquinone, an experimental liquid medication, to patients with inherited mitochondrial diseases like Leigh syndrome who had already completed a previous safety study. The goal was to continue treatment for those who might benefit, but enrollment is now clos…

This study tests whether a new, more powerful 7 Tesla MRI can better detect scarring and swelling in the heart muscle of people with cardiomyopathy. Researchers will scan 13 adults aged 20-70 to see if the higher-resolution images improve diagnosis. The goal is to see if this adv…

This study tests a personalized workplace intervention for 124 Dutch workers with Parkinson's disease, cerebellar ataxia, hereditary spastic paraparesis, or slowly progressive neuromuscular/mitochondrial disorders. A trained facilitator helps employees and their managers identify…

This study gathers health information from children under 18 who have cardiomyopathy linked to mutations in the MYBPC3 gene. Researchers aim to map the disease's natural course, identify risk factors, and measure how it affects quality of life. By reviewing past and future medica…

This study uses special MRI scans to measure how well muscles produce energy in people with mitochondrial disease. Researchers hope to learn more about the condition and develop a new tool to help diagnose and track it. The study involves 230 participants aged 7 to 75 with suspec…

This study aims to discover new genetic mutations that cause mitochondrial disorders by analyzing tissue samples from up to 6,900 participants. It includes people with suspected or known mitochondrial diseases, such as MELAS or Leigh's Disease, who lack a genetic diagnosis. The r…
