Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

EPI-743

Arm Description

Participants will receive EPI-743 at a dose of 15 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) up to a total 200 mg 3 times daily (TID) orally with meal or by using nasogastric (NG) or gastrostomy feeding tubes with liquid food for at least 36 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Disease Severity as Measured by Newcastle Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (NPMDS) Sections 1-3 Score
NPMDS is a validated scale to assess the mitochondrial disease progression.
Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III Score (Participants Age 0-3)
Effect of EPI-743 on neurodevelopment will be measured by Bayley Scales of Infant Development-III score.
Wechsler Scale of Intelligence and Movement Assessment Battery Score for Children (Participants Age 4-18)
Effect of EPI-743 on neuromuscular function will be assessed by Wechsler Scale of Intelligence and Movement Assessment Battery score.
Barry-Albright Dystonia Scale Score
Neuromuscular function will be assessed by Barry-Albright Dystonia Scale score.
Gross Motor Function Measure
Neuromuscular function will be assessed by gross motor function measure.
Awake Oxygen Saturation Levels
Effect of EPI-743 on respiratory function will be measured by awake oxygen saturation levels.
Total Ventilator Days and Total Intensive Care Unit Days
Number of Participants With Pneumonia Episodes and Tracheostomy
Total Number of Mortalities, Medical Encounters, Hospitalizations, and Hospital Days
Health-Related Quality of Life as Measured by NPMDS Section 4 Score
Glutathione Cycle Biomarkers Level
