Summary

The KHENERFIN study aims to determine whether the study medicine, sonlicromanol, is able to reduce symptoms of fatigue and the impact of fatigue on daily life, and whether sonlicromanol is able to improve physical abilities of people like balance control and lower limb skeletal muscle strength in people with mitochondrial disease.

In this study, the effects of sonlicromanol are compared against a placebo, a tablet identical in appearance and taste but without the active drug. Participants take either sonlicromanol or placebo twice daily for a treatment duration of 52 weeks.

In addition to these primary objectives, the study evaluates the efficacy of sonlicromanol on secondary and exploratory outcomes, as well as its safety and tolerability after one year of treatment.
