Key clinical point: Food supplements coenzyme Q10 and carnitine significantly improved mitochondrial respiration in patients with low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome
Major finding: A total of 6 patients (21.4%) achieved hematological improvement based on the International Working Group (IWG) response criteria for MDS after 6 months.
Study details: The data come from an open-label study of 33 adults with myelodysplastic syndrome aged 56 to 93 years who received a combination of coenzyme Q10 at 180 mg/day L-carnitine at 2000 mg/ day, and a standard vitamin-mineral complex daily.
Disclosures: The study was supported by the Rising Tide Foundation and Israel Society of Hematology and Blood Transfusion. The researchers had no financial conflicts to disclose.
