Major study tracks mitochondrial disease to unlock its secrets
NCT ID NCT06504433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 500 adults (400 with mitochondrial disease and 100 healthy or other-disease controls) for up to 10 years. Researchers collect medical data and samples to create a biobank, aiming to better understand how the disease progresses and to find ways to diagnose it earlier. No new treatments are tested—this is purely an observation study.

Who is studied
Participants (at least 400) with confirmed MITO (on genetic/clinical grounds) will be recruited into this study through NeuRA, Randwick, NSW by CI/CPI Professor Carolyn Sue AM FAHMS. The study will recruit 100 control participants who may be: i. age and gender-matched healthy controls from the NeuRA database of volunteers; ii. asymptomatic relatives of MITO participants or iii. non-MITO movement disorder controls recruited from other clinics at NeuRA.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. A clinical and/or genetically confirmed diagnosis of MITO. 2. Individuals \> 18 years of age, managed by a specialist neurologist, with confirmed MITO 3. Control participants will comprise asymptomatic relatives of confirmed MITO patients with no clinical or genetic evidence of MITO; clinically confirmed non-MITO movement disease controls (from other clinics at NeuRA) or age/gender-matched healthy participants. Exclusion Criteria: * Those participants who do NOT match the inclusion criteria above * Not willing to participate in the AMDC Clinical Registry * Not willing to undergo genetic testing * Not willing to provide consent
