Mitochondrial myopathies are a multisystemic group of disorders that are characterized by a wide range of biochemical and genetic mitochondrial defects and variable modes of inheritance. Currently there are no effective treatments for this disease. Despite the heterogeneous myopathy phenotypes, a unifying feature of mitochondrial myopathies is that the pathogenic mtDNA mutations and/or nuclear mutations of the electron transport chain invariably lead to dysfunctional mitochondrial respiration. This reduction in mitochondrial respiration leads to a reduced ability to produce cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), often resulting in muscle weakness, exercise intolerance, and fatigue in patients with mitochondrial myopathies.
RTA 408 is a potent activator of Nrf2 and inhibitor of NF κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells), and thus induces an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phenotype. Several lines of evidence suggest that Nrf2 activation can increase mitochondrial respiration and biogenesis. Collectively, available data suggest that the ability of RTA 408 to activate Nrf2 and induce its target genes could potentially improve muscle function, oxidative phosphorylation, antioxidant capacity, and mitochondrial biogenesis in patients with mitochondrial myopathies.
This study will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety of omaveloxolone (RTA 408) at various doses in patients with mitochondrial myopathies.

Time frame: 12 weeks
Cycle ergometry using a stationary recumbent bike was used to conduct maximal exercise testing. Peak work is defined as the workload at which patients reach maximal volition (defined as an inability to continue to exercise due to exhaustion). Change of peak workload during exercise testing was measured at baseline, Week 4, and Week 12. Change from baseline at Week 12 reported.
Time frame: 6MWT was assessed at Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12 and compared to baseline
Patients were instructed to walk as far as they could along a marked path for 6 minutes. Distance walked was measured. If patients used a cane or walking assist device at Screening, the same walking assist device was to be used for all 6MWT assessments.
