Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of KH176 on gait (Gaitrite®) parameters: step-length and variability in step-time and step-width in patients with a m.3243A>G mutation;Secondary Objective: - To explore the effect of KH176 on biomarkers of mitochondrial functioning in patients with an m.3243A>G mutation. - To explore the effect of KH176 on functional clinical measures of mitochondrial disease in patients with an m.3243A>G mutation. - To investigate the tolerability and safety of KH176 following 28 days of oral administration to patients with an m.3243A>G mutation. - To investigate the multiple dose pharmacokinetics of KH176 following 28 days of oral administration in patients with an m.3243A>G mutation ;Primary end point(s): Gait parameters: cadence, walking speed, right and left step and stride lengths, and right and left step times;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline and after 28 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Safety parameters, including cardiovascular - Pharmacokinetic parameters - Pharmacodynamic parameters (metabolome, oxidative platform, glutathione, FGF21, GDF12, PRDX1) - NMDAS Score - Spirometric parameters: Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 sec (FEV1), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (MIP), Maximal Expiratory mouth pressure (MEP) - 30-Seconds sit – stand test: Number of standings. - Handgrip dynamometry: Maximum grip strength - 6 Minutes Chewing test: VAS pain, VAS tiredness, Rate of Mastication, quality of movement - 6 Minutes Walk Test (during the gait evaluation): Distance - RAND-SF36 score - Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), supplemented with a Beck Depression Index (BDI) - Checklist Individual Strenght (CIS) - Test of Attentional Performance (TAP): Alertness and Mental Flexibility ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Safety parameters continuously and several assessements during treatment Pharmacokinetics on Day 1 and 28 Other assessments at baseline and after 28 days
