Open-label extension to test KL1333 long-term safety and benefit for primary mitochondrial disease

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of KL1333 (Napazimone) in Patients With Primary Mitochondrial Disease

Run by Pharming Technologies B.V. · NCT07514338 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This extension study will see if KL1333 can be safely used long-term and whether it helps reduce fatigue and improve daily living in adults with primary mitochondrial disease who previously took KL1333 or placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with primary mitochondrial disease who completed the prior KL1333 trial and can comply with study visits and electronic patient-reported outcomes.

Probably not a fit

Patients unlikely to benefit include those with significant comorbidities or conditions that could confound results or who are unable to suspend idebenone as required.

What this trial studies

This is a 12-month open-label extension of a prior KL1333 trial to assess long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy in people with primary mitochondrial disease. Participants either retreat with KL1333 or start it if previously on placebo, with a 48-week treatment period followed by a short completion and follow-up. Safety monitoring continues regularly, including phone visits every 4 weeks and in-clinic visits every 24 weeks. The study allows for extended treatment if the drug remains available, with ongoing safety assessments and patient-reported outcomes. Eligibility requires prior completion of the parent study and ability to adhere to visits and procedures.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved energy, daily functioning, and overall quality of life while on KL1333.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of KL1333 or similar long-term extensions have explored safety and sustained efficacy, providing precedent for extended follow-up in this indication.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Completed the FALCON study (age 18 years or older), and in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor has been compliant with the study requirements
* Willingness and ability to attend study appointments within the specified time windows
* Willingness and ability to complete electronic patient-reported outcomes
* Concomitant medications likely to remain stable throughout participation in the study where clinically possible
* Willingness to suspend treatment with idebenone during the study

Exclusion Criteria:

* The subject is, in the investigator's opinion, unlikely to comply with the protocol, e.g., due to cognitive impairment, or is unsuitable for any reason.
* Any medical, psychiatric, laboratory or other condition that may negatively affect the benefit-risk considerations of study participation or interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator and/or the medical monitor, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.

Subjects not enrolling directly at the FALCON study completion visit (FALCON Week 48) or the safety follow-up visit (FALCON Week 53) study will be required to fulfill the additional exclusion criteria below during the screening visit:

• General fatigue or muscle weakness due to causes other than mitochondrial disease, in the opinion of the investigator.
