Study of mitochondrial muscle diseases over time
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between birth and age 100
- You have a mitochondrial disorder OR your doctor believes your symptoms fit this condition
- You have muscle-related problems such as getting tired with activity, low muscle strength, or muscle fatigue
- You (or a parent/guardian, or a legal representative) can give study consent and the child can agree too
- If you join the healthy control group: you have no history of mitochondrial myopathy symptoms and no mitochondrial disorder
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This study observes people with primary mitochondrial muscle diseases over time to better understand how symptoms change. It may help improve future care by learning patterns of muscle weakness, fatigue, and related complications.
