Resistance Exercise in Barth Syndrome

Barth Syndrome

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a disorder that is characterized by heart failure, exercise intolerance and skeletal muscle weakness. Preliminary evidence demonstrates that endurance exercise training does not significantly improve exercise tolerance in BTHS. Because endurance exercise training targets a metabolic pathway that is adversely affected by BTHS, the investigators hypothesized that resistance training may improve exercise tolerance in BTHS because this type of training targets a different metabolic pathway than does endurance exercise. Therefore, the overall objective of the pilot/feasibility/proof-of-concept proposal is to collect preliminary data on the following hypothesis: Supervised resistance exercise training (3x/wk, 45min, 12 wks) will improve exercise tolerance, heart function, muscle strength and quality of life, and will be found safe in adolescents and young adults with BTHS.

Exercise Training in Barth Syndrome

Barth Syndrome

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a genetic disease that results in heart failure, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Several studies in non-BTHS heart failure suggest that endurance exercise training is beneficial in improving exercise intolerance, heart function and quality of life in young men with BTHS. This study will examine the effects of Endurance (i.e. aerobic) exercise training on exercise tolerance, heart function, and quality of life in adolescents and young adults with BTHS. We hypothesize that 3 months of endurance training will improve exercise tolerance, heart function and quality of life in adolescents and young men with BTHS.

Compassionate Use of Triheptanoin (C7) for Inherited Disorders of Energy Metabolism

Very Long-chain acylCoA Dehydrogenase (VLCAD) DeficiencyCarnitine Palmitoyltransferase Deficiencies (CPT19 more

This is a compassionate use study to allow patients already taking triheptanoin (C7) through previous studies to continue to receive the supplement. It will also allow triheptanoin supplementation in patients with qualifying disorders if they are failing conventional therapy.

Heart and Muscle Metabolism in Barth Syndrome

Barth Syndrome

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked disorder caused by abnormal cardiolipin metabolism and is characterized by skeletal and cardiomyopathy and high mortality rates. Through clinical metabolism and imaging studies and pluripotent stem cell induction and molecular techniques on skin biopsy samples, this project will produce novel translational information regarding the pathogenesis of BTHS, reveal potential targets for interventions and provide unique data regarding nutrient metabolism and abnormal cardiolipin and mitochondrial function. This project has the potential to provide information that could significantly improve morbidity and mortality in children and young adults with BTHS and may have relevance to other non-BTHS related conditions such as aging and adult heart failure.

An Intermediate Size Expanded Access Protocol of Elamipretide

Mitochondrial DiseasesBarth Syndrome

Choosing to participate in an expanded access program is an important personal decision. Talk with your doctor to learn more about this program. The treating physician must contact StealthBiotherapeutics using the Expanded Access Program Contacts provided. Elamipretide will only be made available after careful review of an individual request submitted by the treating physician. The initiation and conduct of the treatment with elamipretide for an individual patient, and compliance with this treatment guideline, will be under the full and sole responsibility of the treating physician.
