Trial summary

Mitochondrial diseases are a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations or deletions in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displaying a wide range of severity and phenotypes. These diseases may be inherited from the mother (mitochondrial inheritance) or non-inherited. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II, Open Label, Single Dose Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Therapeutic Effects of Transplantation of MNV-BM-BLD (Autologous cd34+ Cells Enriched With Blood Derived Mitochondria) in Pediatric Patients With Pearson Syndrome

Mitochondrial diseases are a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations or deletions in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displaying a wide range of severity and phenotypes. These diseases may be inherited from the mother (mitochondrial inheritance) or non-inherited. The latter are ultra-rare pediatric diseases caused by a mutation or deletion of mtDNA, which develop into a systemic multi organ disease and eventually death. MNV-BM-BLD is a therapeutic process for enrichment of patient's peripheral hematopoietic stem cells with normal and healthy mitochondria derived from donor blood cells. The process, called mitochondria augmentation therapy, aims to reduce the symptoms of mitochondrial diseases.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with Treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 following MNV-BM-BLD during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment.

    Severity will graded according to CTCAE, Version 5.0

    Measured: 1 year

  2. IPMDS (International Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale)

    To compare the change in International Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (IPMDS) score during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment. IPMDS total score ranges from 0 to 243. The score is expressed as the percentage of items which were feasible to perform. The lower the score is, the higher the child's function

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Weight

    To compare the changes (kilograms) to Baseline

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Quantification of levels of normal mtDNA in blood and urine

    To compare the changes to Baseline

    Measured: 1 years

  3. Metabolic crisis events occurrence compared to two years prior to the study.

    To compare the changes during 3 years (2 years prior the study entry and 1 year follow up)

    Measured: 3 Years

  4. Change in renal function

    Measurement of blood creatinine in a serum sample

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Change in Brain involvement

    Lactate peak as assessed by MRS

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Height

    To compare the changes (in meters) to Baseline

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Change in cardiac function

    Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction via echocardiography

    Measured: 1 year

  8. Monitoring for liver disease

    Measurement of Aspartate Aminotransferase and Alanine aminotransferase level

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing CD34+ cells enriched with MNV-BLD in people with Mitochondrial Diseases and Pearson Syndrome, run by Minovia Therapeutics Ltd. at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with Treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 following MNV-BM-BLD during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment. (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2021.
