  • Research summary

    The research study is aimed at patients with primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) with genetically confirmed multi-systemic (affects more than one body system) mitochondrial DNA-related disease.
    The purpose of this study is to investigate if the study drug, KL1333, is effective in improving the symptoms of fatigue and impacts on daily living and functional capacity (physical abilities) in people with PMD. Additionally, the safety and how well KL1333 is tolerated in the body at different doses, will be evaluated. KL1333 will be compared with placebo in this research study. The study will also measure the amount of KL1333 in your blood at various times (pharmacokinetics or PK).
    The total study duration per patient from baseline to the end of follow-up will be approximately 64 weeks (8-12 weeks Screening, 48 weeks treatment and 4 weeks Safety Follow-Up). Study procedures for all the participants will be:
    • Blood and urine tests
    • Current health and treatment review
    • Vital signs and physical exam
    • Dietary information and review
    • Stool sample
    • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
    • Complete questionnaires about health, fatigue, daily activities, pain and sleep
    • 30 second sit to stand test
    Approximately 120 to 180 participants will take part in the study in 7 to 12 countries.
