Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participation in the FALCON study is divided into 3 parts:
* Screening and baseline: 8-12 weeks
* Treatment: 48 weeks
* Safety follow-up: 5 weeks Total duration: 61 - 65 weeks
Patients who complete the screening phase and are enrolled in the study are randomly assigned to receive either the study medicine (KL1333) or placebo (no active medication). Patients are more likely to receive the study medication than placebo (for every five people who take part, three receive KL1333 and two receive placebo). Neither the participants nor the study team know who is receiving the study medicine or placebo and participants are not able to change which treatment they are assigned.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* A confirmed PMD diagnosis caused by a known pathogenic gene mutation or deletion of the mitochondrial genome (category 6 of the International Classification of Inborn Metabolic Disorders \[ICIMD\])12 according to American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG)/Association of Molecular Pathology (AMP) criteria1, with multisystemic disease expressions, including:
1. m.3243A\>G associated MELAS-MIDD spectrum disorders,
2. single large scale mtDNA deletion associated KSS-CPEO spectrum disorders,
3. other multisystemic mtDNA-related disease (including MERRF).
* Presence of chronic mitochondrial fatigue:
* History of mitochondrial fatigue for at least 3 months prior to the Screening Visit AND
* Presence of at least moderate level of fatigue, assessed by PROMIS® Fatigue PMD Short form raw score ≥ 27 at Screening and Baseline
* Presence of mitochondrial myopathy defined as:
* Myopathy (proximal muscle weakness), NMDAS Section III Clinical Assessment, item 5 score ≥ 1, which reads: "minimal reduction in hip flexion and/or shoulder abduction only (e.g. MRC 4+/5)". For the inclusion only hip flexion, but not shoulder abduction, should be taken into account. AND / OR
* Exercise Tolerance: NMDAS Section I, item 9 score ≥ 1, which reads: "unlimited on flat - symptomatic on inclines or stairs".
* Patients must be able to perform at least 2 repetitions and the maximal capacity must not exceed 17 repetitions in males or 16 repetitions in females in a 30s STS test at screening.
* Clinically stable, apart from symptoms associated with the diagnosis of mitochondrial disease, at Screening and Baseline, as determined by medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, vital signs measurements, and clinical laboratory evaluations at Screening, as assessed by the investigator.
* The patient is willing and able to attend study appointments within the specified time windows.
* Willingness and ability to complete electronic PROs.
* Willingness to maintain a stable diet during the Screening and study periods.
* Patients who take any mitochondrial disease-focused vitamins or supplemental therapies, including coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), niacin/nicotinamide (vitamin B3), and L-arginine, has been on a stable dose regimen of these for 3 months prior to randomisation and intends to stay on a stable dose for the duration of the study period.
* Willingness to suspend treatment with idebenone during the study.
* Female patient is not pregnant and at least one of the following conditions apply:
1. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
2. WOCBP must agree not to try and become pregnant and use a highly effective method of contraception from the time of informed consent through at least 36 days (\~5 half-lives of KL1333 plus 30 days) after the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration.
* Male patients with female partner(s) of childbearing potential must agree to use a male condom in addition to using highly effective contraception throughout the treatment period and for 96 days after the last dose of IMP administration. The requirement to use a male condom also applies to male patients with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner.
* Female patients must agree not to breastfeed starting at Screening and throughout the study period and for 36 days after the last dose of IMP administration.
* Female patients must agree to not donate ova throughout the study period and for 36 days after the last dose of IMP administration, and male patients must agree to not donate sperm throughout the study period and for 96 days after the last dose of IMP administration.
Exclusion Criteria
* Primary mitochondrial disease nuclear DNA mutations or mutations causing mtDNA destabilisation. Genetic mtDNA variants of uncertain significance, likely pathogenic, or pathogenic mutations with degrees of heteroplasmy below what can be considered to definitely cause PMD.
* General fatigue or muscle weakness due to causes other than mitochondrial disease, in the opinion of the investigator.
* Significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., sustained or symptomatic arrhythmia; dilated heart chambers or reduced function; Mobitz II atrioventricular block or greater) OR abnormal ECG that is clinically significant, as determined by the investigator. Any QTcF \> 450 msec for male patients and \> 470 msec for female patients is exclusionary. In the case of an exclusionary QTcF, the ECG can be repeated twice and the average of 3 QTcF intervals should be used to determine the QTcF eligibility.
* Recent history of unstable disease, inadequately controlled neurological manifestations or not recovered from stroke-like episodes including but not limited to:
1. stroke-like episodes within the last 6 months
2. more than 1 seizure/month within the last 6 months
3. hospitalised for Status Epilepticus within the last 6 months
4. more than 4 days of migraine episodes/month within the last 6 months
* History of inflammatory bowel disease, gastric erosions, peptic ulcer disease, or gastrointestinal bleeding episodes. Gastroesophageal reflux disease diagnosed by objective endoscopic or radiographic means, and clinically symptomatic at any point over the last 6 months.
* The patient has one or more clinical laboratory test values outside the reference range, based on the blood and urine samples taken at the Screening Visit, that are of potential risk to the patient's safety, or the patient has, at the Screening Visit:
* estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation \<30 mL/min/1.73 m2
* a serum total bilirubin value \> 1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range unless elevation is related to Gilbert's syndrome and the investigator can rule out any underlying liver dysfunction based on other tests, the patient has a Child-Pugh score ≤6, and after discussing the case with the medical monitor
* a serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) value \> 2 times the upper limit of the reference range. Values between 2 and 3 times the upper limit of the reference range may be allowed if concomitant to elevation in creatine kinase as long as the investigator can rule out any underlying liver dysfunction based on other tests, the patient has a Child-Pugh score ≤6, and after discussing the case with the medical monitor
* The patient has, in the investigator's opinion, severe ataxia, neuropathy, balance problems or other medical condition that would interfere the evaluation of the 30s STS test.
* Untreated or undertreated sleep apnoea, in the opinion of the investigator.
* Use of idebenone within 14 days prior to the first dose.
* Patients have a history of unstable or severe pulmonary, immunological, oncological, hepatic disease, renal disease, or another medically significant illness other than PMD or takes medication that could, in the investigator's opinion, interfere with the assessments of safety, tolerability, or efficacy, or interfere with the conduct or interpretation of the study.
* The patient is, in the investigator's opinion, unlikely to comply with the protocol e.g. due to cognitive impairment or is unsuitable for any reason.
* The patient has an immediate family member (defined as family members residing at the same address) who participates in the study.
* Female patients with a positive pregnancy result at Screening or at Baseline.
* A patient cannot participate if they received an investigational drug 30 days or 5 half-lives prior to the Screening Visit (whichever is longer), or plans to use an investigational drug (other than the study intervention) during the study
* Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients or placebo.
