Participant Flow

2 subjects discontinued prematurely as per Investigator's discretion. These 2 subjects (Subject 001019 \[Elamipretide group\] and Subject 001063 \[Placebo group\]) were discontinued after randomization but prior to receiving study treatment; both were not treated due to their pre-infusion sodium levels meeting Exclusion Criteria 6.
