- Mitochondria-targeted MXene-based nanozymes promote mitophagy and inhibit mtDNA-triggered cGAS/STING inflammation in osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent and debilitating joint disease driven by progressive cartilage degradation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. In this study, we introduced MS@PMXene-TK, an innovative, mitochondria-targeted nanozyme designed for cartilage repair by addressing these key pathological features. This…
- Mitochondrial-targeted SS-31 peptide attenuates radiation-induced cardiomyocyte senescence.
Exposure to ionizing radiation, such as from radiation therapy or accidental radiation exposure can have adverse effects on the heart. While radiation injury in the heart may include cardiomyocyte senescence, there are no available strategies to prevent this phenomenon. This…
- Elamipretide: a mitochondria-targeting drug for Barth syndrome.
- Clinical Trial in Patients With Barth Syndrome- 4TAZPower
Phase 3b/4, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of a once daily SC injection of elamipretide in subjects with genetically confirmed BTHS for 72 weeks. The primary trial objective is to confirm the…
- Mitochondrial-Targeted SS-31 Attenuates the Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiomyoblast H9C2 Cell Senescence.
Doxorubicin (DOX), an effective chemotherapeutic agent for many types of cancer, is known for significant cardiotoxic side effects, which largely limit its clinical usage. A 3 h treatment of cardiomyoblast H9C2 cells with a low concentration of DOX (100 nM)…
- The Role of Oxidative Stress in Heart Failure: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets.
Heart failure is characterised by increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to apoptotic signalling. Changes in excitation-contraction coupling in heart failure promote increased calcium extrusion and decreased calcium uptake by myocardial mitochondria. Mitochondrial calcium is required to…
- ReNEW:Phase 3 Study of Efficacy, Safety & Pharmacokinetics of Subcutaneous Injections of Elamipretide in Subjects With Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of elamipretide in subjects with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the rate of change in the…
- FRDA Investigator Initiated Study (IIS) With Elamipretide
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and activity of Elamipretide in treating vision loss in Friedreich Ataxia (FRDA).
- Study of Healthy Aging and Physical Function With Elamipretide
This study will utilize a daily dose of elamipetide for 4 weeks and will screen a sufficient number of subjects for 30 subjects to enroll in the study. The planned duration of the study includes baseline measurement, followed by 4…
- Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Elamipretide in Subjects With Primary Mitochondrial Disease From Nuclear DNA Mutations (nPMD)
SPIMD-301 is a 48-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial to assess efficacy and safety of single daily subcutaneous (SC) administration of elamipretide as a treatment for subjects with primary mitochondrial myopathy associated with nuclear DNA mutations (nPMD).
