Tests treatment safety and results for Primary Mitochondrial Disease
Official title Efficacy of KL1333 in Adult Patients With Primary Mitochondrial Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05650229
What this study is testing
What is KL1333?
KL1333 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for primary mitochondrial disease.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The primary objective of the FALCON study is to evaluate the efficacy of KL1333 on selected disease manifestations of primary mitochondrial disease (PMD) following 48 weeks of treatment. This objective involves evaluating the efficacy of KL1333 versus placebo on fatigue symptoms and impacts on daily living as well as on functional lower extremity strength and endurance.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 48 weeks
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug.
