Testing a new oxygen sensor in people with and without mitochondrial myopathy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You need to be able to walk on your own.
- You must be able to ride a stationary bike for the test.
- If you have mitochondrial myopathy, your diagnosis must be confirmed by genetic testing and you must have been part of a specific study at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
- You cannot be pregnant or have certain health conditions like severe heart or lung disease, a bleeding disorder, or a weakened immune system.

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 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 is developing a new technique to look closely at mitochondrial DNA inside individual muscle fibers. It may help doctors better understand mitochondrial disorders and could improve diagnosis in the future.
This study tests whether personalized home exercise plus video check-ins are safe and helpful for people with mitochondrial myopathy. It aims to improve function and comfort while checking that the program is tolerable 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.
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.
