Study of metabolism, infection, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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.
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.
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.
This study looks at how people with mitochondrial disease respond to acute infections like COVID-19 or the flu. It aims to understand how infections affect the body and to find better ways to care for patients.
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.
