  • Research summary

    Mitochondria can be found in most cells and have a role of being the powerhouse of the cell via a complicated series of reactions. They produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate(ATP).
    Primary mitochondrial diseases are a set of diseases caused by a dysfunction in these chains of reactions which vary in severity and body systems they affect, there are a varying degree of clinical manifestations of the effects of these aberrant reactions.
    KL1333 is a new compound to treat this broad spectrum of potentially debilitating and life threatening diseases.
    This study is to test the safety and tolerability of this compound by giving a single dose and a multiple ascending dose in healthy subjects and patients with primary mitochondrial disease.
    The study will be a double-blind (neither the subjects or the researchers will know who is taking placebo or study drug), single and multiple oral dose conducted in 3 parts.
    Part A will receive a single dose in healthy subjects over 2 treatment periods, the first will be after fasting 8 hours and the second treatment period will be after consuming a high fat breakfast.They will be confined to the unit for 5 days.
    Part B will receive multiple doses in healthy subjects but the dose levels will be decided once data from Part A and available data from part B will be assessed. They will be confined to the unit for 14 days.
    Part C will involve patients with primary mitochondrial diseases. With dosage levels to be decided once data from Part A and B is analysed.
    Each group will consist of 8 people, 6 will receive the active drug and 2 will receive a placebo.
