Clinical trials
Leigh Syndrome clinical trials
Below are recruiting leigh syndrome clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 9 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT03137355Recruiting
Registry for people with Leigh syndrome
This study is a registry that collects information from people diagnosed with Leigh syndrome. It may help researchers understand the condition better and improve future care.
Houston, TexasAges birth–100 years - NCT06843811Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Sirolimus for Leigh Syndrome
This trial tests if sirolimus can help people with Leigh syndrome. It aims to see if the drug can improve neurological symptoms and is looking for participants aged 6 months to 55 years.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 6 months–55 years - NCT06967831Recruiting
Testing existing drugs for mitochondrial disorders
This trial looks at whether drugs already approved for other conditions might help people with Leigh syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disorder. Researchers will study cells made from your skin to see how these drugs work.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Any age - NCT05554835Recruiting
Mitochondrial disease registry and history study
This study collects information about people who have a suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease. It aims to better understand how the disease looks over time, which can help future treatments.
InnsbruckAges Any age - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT01803906Enrolling by invitation
Tissue sample study for suspected mitochondrial disorders
This study collects tissue samples to help researchers learn more about mitochondrial disorders—conditions related to how the body makes energy. It may help by improving genetic understanding for families who suspect an inherited cause.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT05724173Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for ALS hand paralysis
This study checks whether a brain-computer interface (a BrainGate2 system) is safe and workable for people with ALS. If you qualify, you may be asked to try the device and complete study tasks to help researchers learn how well it can support communication or control.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06094205Recruiting
BrainGate2 speech study for people with tetraplegia
This study tests a brain-computer interface to help people with severe paralysis communicate by decoding attempted speech or movements. It may offer a new way to interact with devices using only brain signals.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT00912041Recruiting
Test of a brain-to-computer device for quadriplegia
This study tests whether a tiny brain computer interface can help people with quadriplegia (loss of movement in all four limbs) communicate or control technology. It’s mainly a feasibility study, meaning the goal is to see if the device can work safely and reliably in real life.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for leigh syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting leigh syndrome studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a leigh syndrome trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a leigh syndrome trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
