This is an open-label, multi-centre study in subjects with a genetically confirmed mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)Leu(UUR) m.3243A\>G mutation who completed study KH176-202. In the KH176-203 study subjects will be receiving KH176 100 mg BID or KH176 50 mg bid in die (BID) (as determined by the investigator based on safety / tolerability considerations) for a year, thereby ensuring continued treatment with KH176 after study KH176-202. A final follow-up visit is scheduled 4 weeks after the intake of the last dose of study medication for patients not rolling over into the compassionate use program. Primary safety data and secondary efficacy (endpoint) data will be monitored and reviewed every three months by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) to evaluate potential risks and benefits.

Inclusion criteria
✓. Males and females aged 18 years or older at screening.
✓. Ability and willingness to provide written Informed Consent prior to screening evaluations.
Exclusion criteria
✕. Disease appropriate physical and mental health as established at Screening by medical history, physical examination, ECG and vital signs recording, and results of clinical chemistry and haematology testing as judged by the investigator.
✕. Objectified Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥45% (echocardiography, or otherwise).
✕. Left Ventricular (LV) wall thickness ≤15 mm.
✕. Left atrium dilatation ≤ 40 mL/m2. Note: No need to test LV parameters (criteria #5, #6, #7) if favourable echocardiography (or otherwise) results dated less than 13 months prior to Screening are available.
✕. Women of childbearing potential must be willing to use highly effective contraceptive methods during the entire study, i.e., combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) oral, intravaginal or transdermal hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation;, oral, injectable or implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation; use of an intrauterine device; an intrauterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion and vasectomy of the partner. Any hormonal contraception method must be supplemented with a barrier method (preferably male condom). Vasectomised partner is considered a highly effective birth control method provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the subject and that the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success. Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. Reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
✕. Able to comply with the study requirements, including swallowing study medication.
✕. Surgery of gastro-intestinal tract that might interfere with absorption.
✕. Treatment with an investigational product (except KH176) within 3 months or 5 times the half-life of the investigational product (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of the study medication.
