  1. 4FS = 4-item Fatigue Scale; PMMSA = Primary Mitochondrial Myopathy Symptom Assessment; TRT = test–retest
  2. *Test–retest estimates were calculated as the Pearson correlation coefficients relating weekly scores generated during screening Week 1 (Days − 13 to − 7) and screening Week 2 (Days − 6 to 0)
  3. Test–retest estimates were calculated as the Pearson correlation coefficients relating weekly scores generated during Study Week 7 and Week 8 (last two weeks of the washout period)
