Study Information

New Zealand Clinical Research is trialling an investigational medicine that could help people with mitochondrial disease.

PX578 is being developed for treating people with primary mitochondrial disease. Mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders that are caused by mutations in the DNA (code) that impact your mitochondria. The mitochondria are parts of the cell important for producing energy for the body. People with mitochondrial disease have trouble producing energy, this often means that their organs can’t function properly. Symptoms for mitochondrial disease include weakness, fatigue, developmental delays and vision or hearing loss. In New Zealand approximately 1 in 20,000 people have mitochondrial disease.

This is a first-in-human study, and we are looking for healthy volunteers to support the research.

This is an investigational drug because it has not been approved by MedSafe or other drug regulatory authorities. Clinical trials involve an investigative drug and some study assessments.
