3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Patients with confirmed mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 2 (thymidine kinase 2 \[TK2\] deficiency) have reduced levels of nucleotides (deoxythymidine monophosphate and deoxycytidine monophosphate) for mitochondrial DNA synthesis. This results in mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (i.e less number of functional mitochondrial DNA). Patients with confirmed TK2 deficiency will be treated with open label deoxythymidine (dThd) and deoxycytidine (dCyt), which are nucleotide precursors, with the expectation that the cells could make additional mitochondrial DNA. This in turn may help reduce the clinical symptoms.
SPIMD-301 is a 48-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial to assess efficacy and safety of single daily subcutaneous (SC) administration of elamipretide as a treatment for subjects with primary mitochondrial myopathy associated with nuclear DNA mutations (nPMD).
The North American Mitochondrial Disease Consortium (NAMDC) maintains a patient contact registry and tissue biorepository for patients with mitochondrial disorders.
