Mitochondrial Disorders clinical trials
Below are recruiting mitochondrial disorders clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 16 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT01780168Recruiting
Study of metabolism, infection, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–115 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.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT04322734Recruiting
Blood tests study immune and metabolism markers in neurodevelopment
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 18 years - NCT06191965RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
MitoQ supplement for early psychosis
This study tests whether a supplement called MitoQ can help people with early-stage psychosis by improving how their cells produce energy. If you are younger and have been treated for psychosis for less than 5 years, this trial may be an option for you.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–35 - 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 - NCT04802707RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for mitochondrial depletion disorder due to gene changes
This Phase 2 trial tests a treatment made from deoxynucleosides to help people with mitochondrial depletion disorder caused by certain gene changes. If you match the genetic diagnosis, the study may see whether the treatment improves symptoms or disease markers.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 month–60 years - NCT06213103Recruiting
Study of immune problems in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at immune system problems in people with mitochondrial diseases. It involves a blood draw to understand how the immune system works in these patients.
BordeauxAges 6 years+ - NCT06515184RecruitingPhase 3
Coenzyme Q10 for Gulf War illness study
This study tests whether coenzyme Q10 (a natural supplement) can improve symptoms of Gulf War illness, such as fatigue and body pain. It involves taking the supplement or placebo for several months, with regular check-ins via Zoom and a few blood draws at a local lab.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 50 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 - NCT05305287RecruitingPhase 4
Measuring liver energy use in people with diabetes and fatty liver disease
This study looks at how the liver uses energy (mitochondria) in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. By understanding this, researchers may find better ways to treat liver problems.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06938542Enrolling by invitation
Palliative care needs for kids with rare diseases
This study asks children with rare diseases and their families about what kind of palliative care (comfort and support) they need. It aims to understand how to better help families through their child's illness.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–99 - 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 - NCT07773649RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan to study energy use in brain of people with cocaine use disorder
This study uses a special PET scan to look at how brain cells make energy, which may be changed by cocaine. It might help researchers find better ways to treat cocaine use disorder.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–45 - NCT06213090Recruiting
Study on patterns of neurodevelopmental disorders
This study looks at patterns of brain development issues in children who visit a specific medical center. It may help doctors understand these conditions better.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT07699380RecruitingPhase 2
Metabolic study to improve insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes
This study tests a new medication to see if it can improve how your body responds to insulin and boost your cells' energy (mitochondrial function). It is for adults with type 1 diabetes who are already on insulin and have good overall health.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–69

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for mitochondrial disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting mitochondrial disorders 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 mitochondrial disorders 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 mitochondrial disorders 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.
