Mitochondrial Diseases clinical trials in Philadelphia
We’re tracking 8 recruiting mitochondrial diseases studies with a site in or near Philadelphia — including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies near Philadelphia
- NCT04086329RecruitingPhase 1
Testing an oxygen sensor during exercise in muscle disease
This early (Phase 1) study checks whether a tiny oxygen-sensing device works reliably while people with mitochondrial muscle disease (and some healthy volunteers) ride a stationary bike. The goal is to see if the sensor can measure oxygen use during exercise and help future monitoring or research.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT06819683RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new oxygen sensor in people with and without mitochondrial myopathy
This study tests a tiny sensor that measures oxygen levels in muscle. It will help researchers understand how oxygen is used during exercise. If you have mitochondrial myopathy or are a healthy volunteer, you might be able to join.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT05569122RecruitingPhase 1
Studying an MRI contrast method in mitochondrial muscle disease
This Phase 1 study tests a special MRI approach (using a contrast agent) to better measure changes in muscles in people with mitochondrial diseases. It also includes some healthy volunteers and other critically ill patients to compare results and check safety.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–60 - NCT06890520Recruiting
Brain chemistry study for mitochondrial disease
This study looks at brain chemicals in people with primary mitochondrial disease using an MRI scan. It aims to understand how the disease affects the brain and may help guide future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 8–75 - NCT05250375Recruiting
Study of mitochondrial muscle diseases over time
This natural history study follows children and adults with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial myopathy to better understand symptoms and how the condition changes. It may also include healthy participants to compare test results and improve future treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–100 years - NCT01694940Recruiting
Mitochondrial disease registry and sample collection study
This trial builds a large database and collection of lab results, and possibly tissue samples, from people with suspected or diagnosed mitochondrial conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these disorders and mitochondrial DNA changes, which may improve future diagnosis and treatments.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05650229RecruitingPhase 2
Study of KL1333 for adult mitochondrial disease fatigue and weakness
This Phase 2 trial studies whether KL1333 improves chronic fatigue and muscle weakness in adults with a confirmed mitochondrial genetic disease. You may be eligible if you have persistent fatigue for at least 3 months and signs of muscle involvement, and can safely follow study requirements.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04734626Enrolling by invitation
Leg MRI study for mitochondrial muscle weakness
This study uses an MRI scan of the lower leg to look for signs of muscle problems in people with suspected or confirmed mitochondrial disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. Participants will lie still in the MRI and do a short, mild exercise during the scan to help the researchers see how muscles work.

What taking part in a mitochondrial diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there mitochondrial diseases clinical trials near Philadelphia?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 8 recruiting mitochondrial diseases studies with a site near Philadelphia, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a mitochondrial diseases study near Philadelphia?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Philadelphia to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site near Philadelphia, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a mitochondrial diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
