How Tisento is Advancing Mitochondrial Research
from Energy in Action by MitoAction Hosted by MitoAction
Chad Glasser is the Senior Director of Clinical Research at Tisento Therapeutics, a company focused entirely on developing treatments for mitochondrial disease. In this episode of Energy in Action, Chad speaks with host Marcy Young about the origins of Tisento, the science behind their lead compound Zagociguat, and why the company’s name—meaning “I hear you” in Italian—reflects their commitment to listening to patients. They dive into the current PRIZM clinical trial for individuals with MELAS syndrome, including what makes this study unique: home visits, oral medication, and a crossover design that ensures all participants receive the active drug. Chad explains how the team shaped the trial based on patient interviews, and what’s next for the drug development process. For anyone living with mitochondrial disease—or considering participation in clinical research—this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a glimpse into the future of rare disease treatment.
