Primary Mitochondrial Myopathies: Understanding

Primary Mitochondrial Myopathies: Overview

Primary Mitochondrial Myopathies (PMM) are a rare group of disorders that are part of the broader category of Primary Mitochondrial Diseases (PMD). These conditions result from genetic mutations in either mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear DNA (nDNA) and predominantly affect skeletal muscle, although other organs may also be involved. It is estimated that mitochondrial disorders impact approximately 1 in 4,300 to 1 in 5,000 people, though the true prevalence of PMM is difficult to determine due to the limited number of epidemiological studies. Given the genetic nature of these disorders, affected individuals often have family members who are similarly affected, though inheritance patterns can vary. PMM can present at any age and affect both men and women, irrespective of ethnic or racial backgrounds. While the inheritance of these conditions can follow Mendelian or maternal transmission patterns, sporadic cases also occur, making diagnosis and understanding the genetic basis challenging.

PMM often presents with diverse symptoms, with the most common being ocular myopathy, specifically Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). This condition involves progressive weakness of the eye muscles, leading to drooping eyelids and limited eye movement. However, mitochondrial myopathies can affect multiple organ systems. Conditions such as Kearns-Sayre Syndrome (KSS), Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy with Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-like Episodes (MELAS), and Myoclonus Epilepsy with Ragged-Red Fibers (MERRF) are examples of more complex forms where muscle involvement is accompanied by dysfunction in other organs, such as the brain, heart, and nervous system. The symptoms of PMM are generally progressive, causing a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life. As the disease advances, individuals experience worsening physical disability, emotional distress, and important social and financial burdens for both patients and their caregivers.

The diagnosis of PMM relies on a multifaceted approach, which includes identifying characteristic symptoms, conducting a detailed patient and family history, performing a thorough physical and clinical evaluation, and utilizing a range of specialized laboratory tests and imaging techniques. Because the clinical presentation of PMM is often shared with various other conditions, a comprehensive diagnostic workup is necessary to rule out other potential causes and confirm the presence of mitochondrial dysfunction. The gold standard for confirming PMM is molecular genetic testing, which can identify pathogenic variants in either nDNA or mtDNA. In some cases, muscle biopsies, clinical evaluations, and biochemical tests are used to complement the molecular findings.

The management of PMM involves a multidisciplinary approach tailored to each individual's specific needs. Since PMM affects various organ systems, treatment requires the coordinated efforts of healthcare providers from several specialties. Pediatricians, neurologists, cardiologists, ophthalmologists, and other specialists may work together to address the diverse symptoms and complications associated with PMM. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and nutritionists also play key roles in improving patients' quality of life, helping them maintain or enhance their physical function, speech, and nutritional status.

Primary Mitochondrial Myopathies Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Primary Mitochondrial Myopathies report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Primary Mitochondrial Myopathies Emerging Drugs

Elamipretide: Stealth BioTherapeutics Inc.

Elamipretide, a mitochondria-targeted therapeutic, is in clinical development for a variety of diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunction. Elamipretide targets the inner mitochondrial membrane where it associates with cardiolipin - the signature phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, which plays a role in many mitochondrial processes, including respiration and energy conversion. This elamipretide-cardiolipin association has been shown to normalize the structure of the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby improving mitochondrial function. The drug is currently in Phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Primary mitochondrial myopathy.

OMT-28: Omeicos Therapeutics GmbH

OMT-28 is a stable synthetic analog of the omega-3 fatty acid metabolite 17,18-EEQ, which has a structure optimized to provide high efficacy, safety and oral bioavailability. OMT-28 reduces mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress via activation of the AMPK/SIRT-1/PGC1-alpha axis leading to a significant reduction of mitochondrial stress marker GDF-15 and inflammation stress marker IL-6. The drug is currently in Phase II stage of clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Primary Mitochondrial Disease.
