Exercise testing in inherited fatty acid breakdown disorders
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks how well people with long-chain fatty acid breakdown disorders tolerate exercise. It may help doctors better understand exercise limits and how to manage symptoms during activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 or older
- Either you have a confirmed diagnosis of CPT2, CACT, MTP, VLCAD, or LCHAD deficiency, or you’re a healthy adult control
- If you are a patient: you are not pregnant
- You do not have major, unstable heart problems or poorly controlled blood pressure
- You do not have a current infection or severe kidney problems
- You do not have severe asthma/COPD or take medications that could strongly change exercise tolerance

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a very intense, short burst of exercise (supramaximal high-intensity interval training) is safe and effective for people aged 60 and older with or without COPD. It aims to see if this type of exercise can improve fitness and daily life.
This study looks at exercise intolerance in heart failure, using heart and lung tests to understand how symptoms affect activity. It may help researchers better identify what limits exercise and how heart failure impacts quality of life.
This study looks for blood and other markers that can explain how people with heart failure respond to exercise training. It may help researchers better tailor exercise or treatment plans for heart failure in the future.
This study looks at how the liver's mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells) work in people with fatty liver disease. Participants will have an MRI scan and receive a small amount of fat solution through an IV to see how the liver processes fat.
This study is about doing a breathing-and-heart performance test while you exercise to better understand how your body uses energy. You may join if you’re referred for this type of test and can safely complete it.
This study tests if different types of exercise can reduce fat in the liver for people with metabolic fatty liver disease. It might help if you are looking for a non-drug way to improve your liver health.
