A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Therapeutic Effects of Transplantation of MNV-BM-BLD in Pediatric Patients With Pearson Syndrome
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Mitochondrial diseases are a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations or deletions in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) displaying a wide range of severity and phenotypes. These diseases may be inherited from the mother (mitochondrial inheritance) or non-inherited. The latter are ultra-rare pediatric diseases caused by a mutation or deletion of mtDNA, which develop into a systemic multi organ disease and eventually death. MNV-BM-BLD is a therapeutic process for enrichment of patient's peripheral hematopoietic stem cells with normal and healthy mitochondria derived from donor blood cells. The process, called mitochondria augmentation therapy, aims to reduce the symptoms of mitochondrial diseases.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with Treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 following MNV-BM-BLD during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment. [1 year]
Severity will graded according to CTCAE, Version 5.0
- IPMDS (International Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale) [1 year]
To compare the change in International Pediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (IPMDS) score during a follow up period of 12 months post treatment. IPMDS total score ranges from 0 to 243. The score is expressed as the percentage of items which were feasible to perform. The lower the score is, the higher the child's function
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Weight [1 year]
To compare the changes (kilograms) to Baseline
- Quantification of levels of normal mtDNA in blood and urine [1 years]
To compare the changes to Baseline
- Metabolic crisis events occurrence compared to two years prior to the study. [3 Years]
To compare the changes during 3 years (2 years prior the study entry and 1 year follow up)
- Change in renal function [1 year]
Measurement of blood creatinine in a serum sample
- Change in Brain involvement [1 year]
Lactate peak as assessed by MRS
- Height [1 year]
To compare the changes (in meters) to Baseline
- Change in cardiac function [1 year]
Assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction via echocardiography
- Monitoring for liver disease [1 year]
Measurement of Aspartate Aminotransferase and Alanine aminotransferase level
Other Outcome Measures
- Hospitalization events [1 year]
To compare the changes from medical history to 1 year follow up
- Change in functional status [1 year]
Distance traveled during the 6MWT (meters)
- Change in hematological parameter [1 year]
Measurement of hemoglobin level
- Change in hematological parameter [1 year]
Measurement of absolute neutrophil count
- Change in hematological parameter [1 year]
Measurement of platelet count
- Control of blood glucose concentration [1 year]
Hemoglobin A1c% in whole blood
- ATP content. [1 year]
To compare the changes to Baseline
