About this study

Official title: Mitochondrial Targeted Biofuels as Countermeasures Against Chemical Threats

The purpose of the study is to determine in vitro effects on mitochondrial function of selected chemical agents in human cells, and assess the capability of a cell-permeable succinate prodrug to attenuate toxic effects The project aims at repurposing this recent pharmaceutical discovery, currently being developed for treatment of toxic exposure, for an expanded indication to treat chemically induced mitochondrial toxicity.

Read the detailed description

The study duration per subject will be approximately 15 minutes to complete the one time blood collection.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03597438
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patientpatients scheduled for elective surgery who are patients either as an inpatient or arriving to the hospital on the day of scheduled surgery
VolunteerVolunteers who are employees, trainees and students at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) will be introduced to the study via an informational study flyer to determine eligibility and desire to participate in the study

What is being measured

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

  1. Attenuation by the succinate prodrug of toxin-induced decrease in mitochondrial respiration.

    Data will be assessed using 2-tailed Student's t-test. Dose-response curves for respiration will be made for each toxin and IC50 calculated. In case of difficulties in demonstrating acute toxicity of chemical agents, dose-titration experiments and long-term incubation (up to 24 hours) will be performed

    Measured: by end of 2018

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Attenuation of toxin-induced decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and attenuate lactate production by the succinate prodrug.

    Data will be assessed using 2-tailed Student's t-test. Dose-response curves for respiration will be made for each toxin and IC50 calculated. In case of difficulties in demonstrating acute toxicity of chemical agents, dose-titration experiments and long-term incubation (up to 24 h) will be performed

    Measured: by end of 2018

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mitochondrial Alteration, run by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2024. 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 United States. 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.

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?

Attenuation by the succinate prodrug of toxin-induced decrease in mitochondrial respiration. (time frame: by end of 2018). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03597438, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 23 Feb 2024.
