About this trial
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. Additionally, the study evaluates the safety and tolerability of KL1333.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age 18 years or older.
m.3243A>G associated MELAS-MIDD spectrum disorders,
single large scale mtDNA deletion associated KSS-CPEO spectrum disorders,
other multisystemic mtDNA-related disease (including MERRF).
Disqualifiers
Primary mitochondrial disease with predominant neurodegenerative phenotypes, such as, but not limited to, Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and Neuropathy ataxia-retinitis pigmentosa syndrome (NARP).
Primary mitochondrial disease nuclear DNA mutations or mutations causing mtDNA destabilisation. Genetic mtDNA variants of uncertain significance, likely pathogenic, or pathogenic mutations with degrees of heteroplasmy below what can be considered to definitely cause PMD.
General fatigue or muscle weakness due to causes other than mitochondrial disease, in the opinion of the investigator.
Significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., sustained or symptomatic arrhythmia; dilated heart chambers or reduced function; Mobitz II atrioventricular block or greater) OR abnormal ECG that is clinically significant, as determined by the investigator. Any QTcF > 450 msec for male patients and > 470 msec for female patients is exclusionary. In the case of an exclusionary QTcF, the ECG can be repeated twice and the average of 3 QTcF intervals should be used to determine the QTcF eligibility.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in-patient-reported fatigue symptoms and impacts on daily living measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Fatigue PMD Short Form
Change in t-score. Higher scores indicate greater fatigue severity.
Change in 30 Second Site-to-Stand Test.
Change in number of stands
Secondary outcomes
Change in Quality of Life in Neurological Disorders (Neuro-QoL) Lower Extremity Function (Mobility) Short Form
Change in t-score. Higher scores indicate greater functional ability.
Change in Individual Activity Assessments - Interference
Assessing how much Primary Mitochondrial Disease symptoms get in the way of the ability to perform individually selected activities. A 5 point scale ranging from "No interference" to "Completely interferes"
Individual Activity Assessment - Change
Assessing the ability to perform individually selected activities compared to baseline. A 5 point scale ranging from "Much worse" to "Much better"
Change in Patient Global Impression of Severity
Scale ranging from 1 (none) to 4 (severe).
