    4. Onset of symptoms ≤5 years of Baseline

    5. Confirmation of either G11778A, G3460A or T14484C LHON mtDNA (for the ITT population, not required for enrolment)

    6. Written informed consent obtained from the patient

    7. Ability and willingness to comply with study procedures and visits

    8. Women of Childbearing Potential (WCBP) who have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at Baseline visit and who are willing to use a highly effective contraceptive measure and maintain it until treatment discontinuation.

    4. Known history of clinically significant elevations (greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal) of AST, ALT or creatinine

    5. Patient has a condition or is in a situation which, in an investigator's opinion may put the patient at significant risk, may confound study results or may interfere significantly with the patient's participation in the study

    6. Participation in another clinical trial of any investigational drug within 3 months prior to Baseline

    7.
