Assessing Bioavailability of CoQ10 Supplementation in Burn Patients

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To test the hypotheses that plasma and intracellular coenzyme Q10 levels will decline after burn injury and that ubiquinol supplementation will increase plasma and intracellular coenzyme Q10 levels in burn patients.

To test the hypothesis that ubiquinol supplementation ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction/disintegrity and metabolic derangements, and decreases circulating alarmins (a.k.a. endogenous DAMPs) in burn patients as compared with placebo.

Clinical Trial Description

Based on previous clinical studies and our preliminary preclinical data, we want to test the hypotheses that plasma and intracellular coenzyme Q10 levels are decreased after burn injury and that coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) supplementation reverses or ameliorates insulin resistance, metabolic derangements, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased circulating DAMPs in burn patients. The aforementioned previous studies and preliminary data warrant a small-scale clinical study to evaluate coenzyme Q10 status, and bioavailability and efficacy of coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) supplementation in burn patients. Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) supplementation could represent a novel, safe and low-cost strategy to improve the clinical outcome of burn patients. We are conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study with anticipated enrollment of 50 subjects. Adult burn patients with 5% or greater of total body surface area (TBSA) burn at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Burn Center will be approached to consider study participation. All enrolled patients will be randomized to receive coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol) supplementation or placebo. Blood samples will be used for evaluation of coenzyme Q10 concentration, mitochondrial DNA copy number, non-mitochondrial DAMPs (e.g., cell-free total DNA), and defective neutrophil migration. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
