TAZPOWER at 168 weeks: what an open-label follow-up can add

The longer report followed the same trial program, rather than providing an independent randomized replication.

Follow-up studyPaper year: 2024Elamipretide (SS-31)

01 / DESIGN

What was studied?

Ten participants entered the open-label extension of TAZPOWER and eight reached the 168-week visit. Researchers assessed tolerability, walking performance, fatigue, strength, cardiac measurements and cardiolipin-related biomarkers.

02 / FINDINGS

What did the researchers report?

Functional and fatigue measurements improved relative to extension baseline, and some cardiac measures also changed. Injection-site reactions were the most commonly reported adverse events. The publication adds information about longer observation in a rare disease.

03 / LIMITS

How should it be interpreted?

This is a follow-up of the TAZPOWER cohort, not a separate placebo-controlled efficacy trial. Survivor and participation effects, small numbers and lack of a concurrent control limit causal interpretation. Long-term changes do not establish safety or benefit for unrelated populations or catalog materials.
