shown with underlines) 
Brief Rationale 
Section 1.1, Synopsis, Section 
9.4.5.3, Exploratory Efficacy 
Endpoints 
• Effect of prior surgery 
(yes/no) on the GI2 
endpoint 
Added since Inclusion 
Criterion 5 was revised to 
allow 2 prior surgeries 
Section 1.1, Synopsis, Table 
1-1; Section 1.3, Schedule of 
Activities, Table 1-2; Section 3, 
Objectives and Endpoints, 
Table 3-1 
Day 0, 0.5-hour, postdose, 
presurgery pharmacokinetic 
blood sample removed 
To reduce the burden of 
venipuncture 
Section 1.1, Synopsis, Number 
of Patients; Section 4.1, Overall 
Design; Section 9.2, Sample 
Size Determination 
Patients to be screened 
changed from approximately 
425 to between 250 and 425, 
patients to be randomized 
changed from approximately 
340 to between 200 and 340, 
and patients to be in each 
treatment group changed from 
approximately 85 to between 
50 and 85 
The expectation of the 
range of differences across 
treatment groups, in time 
to GI2, was revised to be 
24 hours instead of 
18 hours, requiring less 
patients to achieve the 
desired 80% power for the 
primary objective

Section 1.3, Schedule of 
Activities, Figure 1-2 
Medical history row revised to 
include prior postoperative 
ileus and postoperative 
gastrointestinal dysfunction, 
prior and current therapy row 
revised to include preoperative 
bowel preparation and volume 
of intravenous fluids 
administered during surgery 
Recording these data may 
provide information for 
future study design 
Enhanced recovery protocol 
elements added 
To ensure all 7 elements 
of the enhanced recovery 
protocol (planned and 
actual) are recorded 
Baseline physical examination 
and electrocardiogram revised 
to allow preoperative physical 
examination and 
electrocardiogram without 
clinically significant abnormal 
findings within 2 weeks of the 
patient signing the informed 
consent form, and a urine 
pregnancy test was added from 
Day -14 to 0 
To reduce unnecessary 
duplicate preoperative 
physical examinations and 
electrocardiograms, and to 
identify pregnant patients 
earlier and exclude them 
from the study 
Section 5.2, Exclusion Criteria 
1. Scheduled to undergo a total 
colectomy or any procedure 
that results in a colostomy or 
ileostomy. 
To clarify that any 
procedure resulting in an 
ileostomy or colostomy is 
excluded. 
3. Emergency surgery 
There was no reason to 
exclude patients who 
needed emergency surgery 
if the protocol criteria 
could be met 
56. PreviousMore than 2 prior 
major abdominal 
surgerysurgeries (eg, 
gastrectomy, gastric bypass, 
gastric sleeve, lap banding, 
Whipple, pancreatic resection, 
total/subtotal colectomy, 
hemicolectomy, extensive 
bowel resection).hepatectomy, 
intestinal transplant). 
To allow patients with 
prior surgeries to enroll in 
the study

Section 6.5, Medical History 
and Prior and Concomitant 
Therapy 
Title revised to include 
Medical History 
Updated to match section 
content 
Any prior history of 
postoperative ileus and 
postoperative gastrointestinal 
dysfunction must be recorded 
on the eCRF as part of the 
patient’s medical history. 
The preoperative bowel 
preparation, if any, must be 
recorded in the eCRF. 
Additionally, the total volume 
of intravenous fluids 
administered during the 
surgery must be recorded in 
the eCRF. 
To ensure histories of 
postoperative ileus and 
gastrointestinal function, 
preoperative bowel 
preparation, and total 
volume of intravenous 
fluids administered are 
recorded 
The following elements of the 
enhanced recovery protocol at 
the study site must be recorded 
as yes or no in the eCRF at 
Baseline (planned) and at the 
day of discharge or early 
termination (actual): 
• Three elements required by 
the protocol: 
o Early removal of the 
nasogastric tube, 
defined as removal of 
the nasogastric tube at 
the end of surgery 
o Early ambulation, 
defined as ambulation 
on Day 1 
To ensure the 3 elements 
of the enhanced recovery 
protocol required by the 
protocol and the 4 other 
elements at the study site 
(planned and actual) are 
recorded

Determination 
The restricted mean survival 
time up to 240 hours for the 
time to event of GI2 was 
revised to between 44 and 
85 patients per treatment group 
to see a linear trend in RMST 
up to 240 hours across a 
24-hour difference between 
naldemedine 5 mg and 
placebo, following the Weibull 
distribution by referring to the 
survival curve for the time to 
the event of GI2 shown in the 
alvimopan package insert

will be reviewed by the Data 
Monitoring Committee 
To provide flexibility to 
the study 
Section 10.3, Appendix 3: 
Adverse Events: Definitions 
and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-up, and 
Reporting 
• Any clinically significant 
abnormal laboratory 
findings or other abnormal 
safety assessments which 
are associated with the 
underlying disease, unless 
judged by the investigator 
to be more severe than 
expected for the patient’s 
condition. 
Correction since 
“clinically significant” 
necessary 
• Hospitalization for 
preplanned and elective 
procedures between 
discharge and follow-up to 
treat a pre-existing 
condition that did not 
worsen after start of study 
will not be considered an 
AE and therefore will not 
be considered an SAE 
Correction since 
prolonged hospitalization 
is considered an SAE

despite requiring 
hospitalization or 
prolonged hospitalization. 
Section 10.3.1, Definition of 
Serious Adverse Event 
If an event is not an AE per the 
definition above, then it cannot 
be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (eg, 
hospitalization for 
signs/symptoms of the disease 
under study, death due to 
progression of disease). 
Correction since 
hospitalization and death 
are considered SAEs

Overall Design: 
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, 
placebo-controlled study in patients undergoing partial small or large bowel resection 
with primary anastomosis or radical cystectomy requiring bowel transection with primary 
anastomosis. Randomization will be stratified by the planned surgical procedure, ie, small 
bowel resection with primary anastomosis, large bowel resection with primary 
anastomosis, or radical cystectomy requiring bowel transection with primary 
anastomosis. 
 
Number of Patients: 
Between 250 to 425 patients will be screened to achieve between 200 and 340 randomly 
assigned patients, with between 50 and 85 patients in each of 4 treatment groups. The 
planned sample size of approximately 50 patients per group was determined by a 
simulation study with 10,000 iterations to see a linear trend across doses of 24 hours for a 
difference in the primary endpoint between naldemedine 5 mg and placebo. The 
maximum of 85 patients per group will detect an 18-hour difference under 80% power at 
a 2-sided significance level of 0.05. The final sample size between 50 and 85 patients per 
group will be determined by the number of patients enrolled during the fixed enrollment 
period. 
 
Treatment Groups and Duration: 
Throughout this protocol, study treatment refers to naldemedine 1.25 mg, naldemedine 
2.5 mg, naldemedine 5 mg, and matching placebo, unless otherwise noted. 
 
Test Drug and Dose: Naldemedine orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) will be 
administered as a dose of 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, or 5 mg twice daily (BID). 
 
Control Drug and Dose: Matching placebo ODT will be administered BID.

Mode of Administration of Test and Control Drugs: The first dose of study treatment 
will be administered 30 minutes to 6 hours prior to the scheduled start of surgery on the 
operative day (Day 0), and the second dose will be administered postoperatively the 
evening of the operative day. Beginning on Day 1, patients will receive study treatment 
BID for up to 10 days postoperatively (ie, Day 10). Every effort will be made to give the 
Day 1 morning dose approximately 12 hours after the Day 0 evening dose and to give all 
morning and evening doses from Day 1 to Day 10 at approximately 12-hour intervals. 
 
The patient will be instructed to place the ODT on the tongue and to let it dissolve. 
Administration with water is not required, but water is allowed if the patient prefers. 
 
Duration of Administration of Test and Control Drugs: Duration of administration will 
be determined by the date on which the primary endpoint, GI2, is met or the date on 
which the discharge order is written, whichever occurs sooner, and will not exceed 
10 postoperative days (excluding the postoperative dose on Day 0). Note: Study 
treatment may be administered on the day of discharge. 
 
Study Duration for Individual Study Patients (Includes Screening, Treatment and 
Follow-up Periods): 
Study duration for individual patients is approximately 8 weeks. This includes the 
Screening Period (no more than 14 days), the Treatment Period (no more than 11 days), 
and the Follow-up Period (no more than 30 days after Day 10 or after the day of 
discharge [whichever is sooner]).

2. INTRODUCTION 
2.1 
Study Rationale 
Gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction is a common finding in the postoperative setting, with a 
delay in the return of GI function extending the length of hospitalization. Naldemedine is 
an orally administered, peripherally acting mu-opioid receptor antagonist (PAMORA). Its 
use is currently being studied in the perioperative setting to assess its effect on the time to 
GI recovery following surgeries that include bowel resection and bowel transection. 
 
2.2 
Background 
In the surgical setting, a temporary reduction or cessation of intestinal motility is 
common postoperatively. The pathophysiology of this condition is multifactorial and 
complex. Overall, intestinal equilibrium is altered, resulting in a loss of coordinated 
propulsive action and an accumulation of gas and fluids. Hospitalization may thus be 
prolonged, increasing patient exposure to such risks as hospital-acquired infection and 
deep vein thrombosis, as well as increasing healthcare costs. 
 
Naldemedine (also referred to as S-297995) is a PAMORA developed by Shionogi & Co. 
Ltd. Naldemedine as a 0.2-mg tablet for once-daily oral administration was approved in 
the US on 23 Mar 2017 for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in adult 
patients with chronic non-cancer pain, including patients with chronic pain related to 
prior cancer or its treatment who do not require frequent (eg, weekly) opioid dose 
escalation (see NDA 208854). A detailed description of the chemistry, pharmacology, 
efficacy, and safety of naldemedine is provided in the current edition of the Investigator’s 
Brochure and in the package insert for naldemedine 0.2-mg tablets (SYMPROIC® 
[naldemedine tablets for oral use]). 
 
Shionogi has developed an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) formulation of naldemedine 
for short-term perioperative use in patients undergoing surgeries that include bowel 
resection and bowel transection. This Phase 2 controlled study will be conducted to 
evaluate the naldemedine ODT in patients undergoing partial small or large bowel 
resection with primary anastomosis or radical cystectomy requiring bowel transection 
with primary anastomosis. 
 
2.3 
Benefit/Risk Assessment 
Naldemedine has not previously been studied for short-term perioperative use in patients 
undergoing surgeries that include bowel resection and bowel transection. Therefore, the 
expected benefits and risks of naldemedine for this patient population are not known. 
 
Detailed information about naldemedine is provided in the current edition of the 
Investigator’s Brochure.

4. STUDY DESIGN 
4.1 
Overall Design 
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, 
placebo-controlled study in patients undergoing partial small or large bowel resection 
with primary anastomosis or radical cystectomy requiring bowel transection with primary 
anastomosis. Randomization will be stratified by the planned surgical procedure, ie, small 
bowel resection with primary anastomosis, large bowel resection with primary 
anastomosis, or radical cystectomy requiring bowel transection with primary 
anastomosis. 
 
This study consists of: 
 
• a Screening/Baseline period (Day –14 to Day 0) 
• a Treatment period (study treatment for no more than 11 days, including Day 0 
[day of surgery] plus up to 10 postoperative days). Duration of study treatment 
will be determined by the date on which the primary endpoint, GI2, is met or the 
date on which the discharge order is written, whichever occurs first, and will not 
exceed 10 postoperative days (excluding the postoperative dose on Day 0) 
• a Follow-up period 30 days after Day 10 or after the day of discharge (whichever 
is sooner), with a window of + 3 days, but not < 30 days (End-of-study Visit) or 
an Early Termination (ET) Visit (see Figure 1-1) 
 
Between 250 and 425 patients will be screened to determine eligibility to participate in 
the study. It is planned that between 200 and 340 patients will be randomly assigned in a 
ratio of 1:1:1:1 to study treatment, with approximately 50 patients assigned to each of 
4 treatment groups (see also Section 9.2). 
 
Enrolled patients will be managed preoperatively according to standard of care. On 
Day 0, before surgery, patients will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups to 
receive study treatment, as follows: 
 
● Naldemedine 1.25 mg: One 1.25 mg ODT twice daily (BID), identical in shape, 
size, and color to the 2.5- and 5-mg ODT 
● Naldemedine 2.5 mg: One 2.5 mg ODT BID, identical in shape, size, and color to 
the 1.25- and 5-mg ODT 
● Naldemedine 5 mg: One 5 mg ODT BID, identical in shape, size, and color to the 
1.25- and 2.5-mg ODT 
● Matching placebo: One ODT BID, identical in shape, size, and color to the 
naldemedine ODT 
 
Throughout this protocol, study treatment refers to naldemedine 1.25 mg, naldemedine 
2.5 mg, naldemedine 5 mg, and matching placebo, unless otherwise noted.

The first dose of study treatment will be administered 30 minutes to 6 hours prior to the 
scheduled start of surgery on the operative day (Day 0), and the second dose will be 
administered postoperatively the evening of the operative day. Beginning on Day 1, 
patients will receive study treatment BID for up to 10 days postoperatively (ie, Day 10). 
Every effort will be made to give the Day 1 morning dose approximately 12 hours after 
the Day 0 evening dose and to give all morning and evening doses from Days 1 to 10 at 
approximately 12-hour intervals. Note that duration of administration will be determined 
by the date on which the primary endpoint, GI2, is met or the date on which the discharge 
order is written, whichever occurs first, and will not exceed 10 postoperative days 
(excluding the postoperative dose on Day 0). Study treatment may be administered on the 
day of discharge. Details regarding study treatment administration are provided in 
Section 6.1. 
 
During the treatment period, procedures and assessments will be performed as specified 
in the Schedule of Activities (SoA) in Section 1.3. 
 
Patients will be discharged based on the clinical judgment of the investigator and 
standard of care at the study hospital. Patients who are discharged by Day 10 will have an 
End-of-study Visit 30 days after Day 10 or after the day of discharge (whichever is 
sooner), with a window of + 3 days, but not < 30 days. 
 
Patients who discontinue study treatment prior to meeting the primary endpoint, GI2, will 
have an ET Visit and will be followed until 30 days after the day of discharge for safety. 
Patients who are withdrawn from the study will have an ET and an End-of-study Visit. 
 
4.2 
Scientific Rationale for Study Design 
Prolonged hospitalization due to delay in return of GI function after bowel surgery may 
increase patient exposure to such risks as hospital-acquired infection and deep vein 
thrombosis, as well as increase healthcare costs. As described in Section 2.2, there is a 
need for a pharmacologic agent with an improved benefit/risk profile that can be 
administered to patients who are undergoing bowel resection and bowel transection. 
 
The current study (Study 1902G1721) with naldemedine (which is approved in the US 
for the treatment of OIC in adult patients with chronic noncancer pain, including patients 
with chronic pain related to prior cancer or its treatment who do not require frequent [eg, 
weekly] opioid dosage escalation), will be conducted to determine whether naldemedine 
can accelerate the time to upper and lower GI recovery following surgeries that include 
partial bowel resection with primary anastomosis and radical cystectomy with bowel 
transection and primary anastomosis. 
 
This study employs a standard interventional clinical study design and will be conducted 
at multiple hospitals. The design of this study allows assessment of the efficacy, safety, 
and tolerability of naldemedine administered orally by ODT at 3 different doses 
compared with placebo in patients undergoing partial small or large bowel resection with 
primary anastomosis or radical cystectomy requiring bowel transection with primary 
anastomosis.

The randomization and stratification for this study (Section 6.3) allows for a 
well-balanced distribution of patients across treatment groups and will help determine 
whether there is a dose response to allow the choice of the most effective dose. The 
double-blind, placebo-controlled design was chosen because blinding of patients and 
investigators/study personnel helps to prevent bias and the inclusion of placebo is 
appropriate for use in this patient population. 
 
4.3 
Justification for Dose 
Opioids exert their analgesic effects primarily through the central mu-opioid receptors 
and are commonly used to manage postoperative pain. In the postoperative setting, 
surgery on the GI tract is commonly associated with GI dysfunction, which may be 
caused by both endogenous and exogenous opioids, as well as other factors [1]. The GI 
dysfunction may delay a patient’s recovery after surgery and prolong hospitalization [2]. 
 
In the postoperative period, severe postoperative pain therapy may ideally be managed 
with an opioid analgesic, with maintenance of efficacious plasma opioid concentrations 
as the goal of therapy [3, 4]. In this setting, functional blockage of intestinal transit may 
be caused by binding of opioids at mu-opioid receptors in the enteric nervous system. 
Blockage of this binding is important and, for this purpose, the trough plasma 
concentration of naldemedine should be kept above the effective opioid concentration. 
 
Naldemedine 0.2 mg once daily improved the frequency of spontaneous bowel 
movements in Phase 3 trials (NCT01993940 and NCT01965158; data on file). In 
addition, naldemedine suppressed morphine-induced inhibition of small intestinal transit 
in rats; the amount of drug that produced the desired effect in 50% (ED50) was 
0.03 mg/kg. The maximum observed plasma concentration value with a naldemedine 
0.2-mg dose in humans and the plasma drug concentration 1 hour after oral 
administration of naldemedine 0.03 mg/kg (ED50) to rats (at the end of efficacy 
assessment) were 3.07 ng/mL (data on file) and 2.51 ng/mL (data on file), respectively. 
Because these values for efficacious anti-OIC plasma concentrations in humans and the 
anticonstipation effect in rats were close, a trough plasma naldemedine concentration of 
3.07 ng/mL in the clinical setting may be appropriate in managing postoperative GI 
motility. Based on the plasma concentration profile in humans after multiple-dose 
administration of naldemedine 3 mg on Day 1 (C12hr [the concentration 12 hours after 
administration], 9.47 ng/mL) (NCT01443403; data on file), it is estimated that 
administration of naldemedine 1.25 mg will provide a plasma drug concentration close to 
3.07 ng/mL 12 hours after administration. Therefore, the doses of naldemedine chosen in 
this study are 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, and 5 mg administered BID. 
 
4.4 
End of Study Definition 
The end of the study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last patient in the study. 
A patient is considered to have completed the study if he/she has completed all periods of 
the study through the End-of-study Visit, even if he or she completes study treatment 
prior to Day 10 because of meeting the primary endpoint, GI2 (see SoA in Section 1.3).

Rescreening of patients who meet all entry criteria but who are not entered in the study 
because the date of surgery is rescheduled (by study site staff or by the patient) to a date 
more than 14 days after signing the ICF is permitted. Rescreened patients must resign the 
ICF if the surgery is rescheduled more than 14 days after the originally-scheduled 
surgery, and the medical monitor should be contacted to see if any screening tests will 
need to be repeated. Patients who are screen failures for any other reasons are not to be 
rescreened.

Day 0 (Operative Day) 
Before surgery: Administer first dose 30 minutes to 
6 hours prior to the scheduled start of surgery. The 
patient will be instructed to place the orally 
disintegrating tablet (ODT) on the tongue and to let it 
dissolve. Administration with water is not required, but 
water is allowed if the patient prefers. 
After surgery: Administer second dose postoperatively 
on the evening of the day of surgery. 
Day 1 to Day 10 
Patients will receive study treatment twice daily (BID) 
for up to 10 days (ie, Day 10). Every effort will be made 
to give the Day 1 morning dose approximately 12 hours 
after the Day 0 evening dose and to give all morning and 
evening doses from Day 1 to Day 10 at approximately 
12-hour intervals. Duration of administration will be 
determined by the date on which the primary endpoint, 
GI2 (time from end of surgery to time to first toleration 
of solid food and first bowel movement), is met or the 
date on which the discharge order is written, whichever 
occurs first, and will not exceed 10 postoperative days. 
Study treatment may be administered on the day of 
discharge.

Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability of Study 
Treatment 
1. Wallets containing naldemedine and matching placebo must be stored according 
to the study treatment label at 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C). The investigator or 
qualified designee must confirm that appropriate temperature conditions have 
been maintained during transit for all study treatment received and that any 
discrepancies are reported and resolved before use of the study treatment. 
2. Only study patients enrolled in the study may receive study treatment and the 
investigator or qualified study personnel may administer study treatment. All 
study treatment must be stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and 
monitored (manual or automated) area in accordance with the labeled storage 
conditions with access limited to the investigator and authorized site staff. 
3. The investigator or the head of the hospital (as applicable) is responsible for study 
treatment accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance (ie, receipt, 
reconciliation, and final disposition records). 
4. Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study 
treatment are provided in the Study Pharmacy Manual.

6.3 
Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding 
Eligible patients will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1:1:1 to one of the following treatment 
groups: naldemedine 1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, or 5 mg or placebo. Randomization will be 
stratified by the planned surgical procedure, ie, small bowel resection with primary 
anastomosis, large bowel resection with primary anastomosis, or radical cystectomy 
requiring bowel transection with primary anastomosis. All patients will be centrally 
randomized to study treatment using an Interactive Web Response System (IWRS). 
Before each site is initiated, the login information and directions for the IWRS will be 
provided. 
 
The IWRS will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an 
emergency, the investigator has the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a 
patient’s treatment assignment is warranted. Patient safety must always be the first 
consideration in making such a determination. If the investigator decides that unblinding 
is warranted, the investigator should make every effort to contact the contract research 
organization (CRO) prior to unblinding unless this could delay emergency treatment of 
the patient. If a patient’s treatment assignment is unblinded, the CRO must be notified 
within 24 hours after breaking the blind, and the treatment assignment should not be 
disclosed to the CRO. The date and reason that the blind was broken must be recorded in 
the source documentation and the IWRS. 
 
6.4 
Study Treatment Compliance 
The investigator or qualified study personnel will administer study treatment to each 
patient and will observe the patient for compliance with taking the study treatment. Study 
treatment administration will be recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). In 
addition, if the patient refuses study treatment or if he or she vomits within 1 hour of 
dosing, this information will also be recorded in the eCRF. 
 
6.5 
Medical History and Prior and Concomitant Therapy 
Any prior history of postoperative ileus and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction 
must be recorded on the eCRF as part of the patient’s medical history. 
 
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, 
vitamins, and herbal supplements) that the patient is receiving at the time of enrollment 
or receives during the study must be recorded in the eCRF along with the following 
information: 
 
• Reason for use 
• Dates of administration including start and end dates 
• Dosage information including dose, route of administration, and frequency 
The preoperative bowel preparation, if any, must be recorded in the eCRF. Additionally, 
the total volume of intravenous fluids administered during the surgery must be recorded 
in the eCRF.

The CRO’s medical monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding 
permissible prior or concomitant therapy. 
 
In addition to the prior and concomitant therapy exclusions in Section 5.2, the following 
medications are prohibited for 14 days before the first dose of study treatment and 
through the end of study treatment: 
 
• Strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inducers (eg, carbamazepine, 
enzalutamide, mitotane, phenytoin, rifampin, St. John’s Wort) (see Appendix 6) 
• Strong CYP3A and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors (eg, clarithromycin, 
diltiazem, grapefruit juice, indinavir, ketoconazole, ritonavir) (see Appendix 7) 
• Other opioid antagonists 
• Prophylactic use of laxatives (eg, magnesium citrate, magnesium hydroxide, 
magnesium sulfate, castor oil, sodium phosphate, sodium biphosphate, 
polyethylene glycol enemas, and stimulant laxatives, including bisacodyl); 
however, if needed, laxatives may be used for rescue therapy 
 
Re-insertion of the nasogastric tube is permitted if needed (see Section 8.1.2.2). 
 
The following elements of the enhanced recovery protocol at the study site must be 
recorded as yes or no in the eCRF at Baseline (planned) and at the day of discharge or 
early termination (actual): 
 
• Three elements required by the protocol: 
o Early removal of the nasogastric tube, defined as removal of the nasogastric 
tube at the end of surgery 
o Early ambulation, defined as ambulation on Day 1 
o Early diet advancement on Day 1 
• Four other elements that may be used at the study site: 
o Antibiotic prophylaxis 
o Preoperative carbohydrate drink 
o Epidural anesthesia in addition to general anesthesia 
o Chewing gum postoperatively 
The investigator must determine appropriate management and treatment of the patient, as 
clinically indicated, in the event of signs or symptoms of any of the following: 
 
• Opioid withdrawal; if opioid withdrawal is suspected, the patient should be 
monitored 
• Severe hypersensitivity thought to be related to study treatment 
• Gastrointestinal perforation

7. DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY TREATMENT AND PATIENT 
DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL 
7.1 
Discontinuation of Study Treatment 
A patient may discontinue study treatment prior to Day 10 if he or she meets the primary 
endpoint, GI2, or on the date on which the discharge order is written, whichever occurs 
first. Discontinuation of study treatment for any other reason will be determined by the 
investigator if he or she believes that it is in best interest of the patient. Female patients 
who become pregnant during the study will be followed as described in Section 7.2, 
Section 8.3.5, and Appendix 4. The investigator will withdraw a patient from study 
treatment based on the management and discontinuation criteria for abnormal liver 
function tests (Appendix 5). The investigator should consider discontinuation of study 
treatment if opioid withdrawal is suspected on any assessment day. In addition, 
discontinuation of study treatment is required if: 
 
• The patient has an unplanned ileostomy or colostomy during the surgical 
procedure. 
• A patient has a score > 36 on the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) on 
any assessment day 
• Hypersensitivity thought to be related to study treatment occurs and is considered 
severe in intensity, as assessed by the investigator 
• There is any sign or symptom suggestive of gastrointestinal perforation, as 
assessed by the investigator 
 
See the SoA for data to be collected at the time of treatment discontinuation (eg, at the 
Early Termination Visit). 
 
7.2 
Patient Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study 
• A patient may withdraw from the study at his/her own request or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, 
compliance, or administrative reasons. However, unless there is a safety reason, 
the patient should remain in the study until the End-of-study Visit, even when off 
study treatment, to protect the integrity of the study and the patient’s well-being. 
• If the patient withdraws consent, the CRO may retain and continue to use any data 
collected before the withdrawal of consent. 
• If a patient withdraws consent, he/she may request destruction of any samples 
taken and not tested, and the investigator or qualified designee must document 
this in the site study records. 
• See the SoA for data to be collected at the time of patient 
discontinuation/withdrawal from the study. The reason for the patient’s 
withdrawal from the study and the withdrawal date should be recorded in the 
eCRF.

7.3 
Lost to Follow-up 
A patient will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she fails to return for the End-of- 
study Visit and is unable to be contacted by the hospital or doctor’s office staff (ie, does 
not respond to at least 2 telephone calls, 1 e-mail, and a registered letter). 
 
The following actions must be taken if a patient fails to return to the hospital or doctor’s 
office for the End-of-study Visit: 
 
• Before a patient is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator, or qualified 
designee must make every effort to contact the patient and reschedule the missed 
End-of-study Visit as soon as possible. Contact will include at least 2 telephone 
calls, at least 1 e-mail, and a registered letter. The contact attempts should be 
within 30 days of the missed End-of-study visit and be documented in the 
patient’s medical record. 
• Should the patient continue to be unreachable by the above methods, he/she will 
be considered lost to follow-up.

8. STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
• Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA. Protocol waivers 
or exemptions are not allowed. 
• Adherence to the study requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct. 
• All Screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that 
potential patients meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator or qualified 
designee must maintain a screening log to record details of all patients screened 
and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for screen failure, as applicable. 
• Procedures conducted as part of the patient’s routine clinical management 
(eg, physical examination, blood count, electrocardiogram [ECG]) and obtained 
before signing of the ICF may be utilized for Screening or Baseline purposes 
provided the procedures meet the protocol-specified criteria and are performed 
within the time frame defined in the SoA. 
• Safety concerns should be discussed with the CRO immediately upon occurrence 
or awareness to determine if the patient should continue or discontinue study 
treatment. 
 
8.1 
Efficacy Assessments 
8.1.1 
Primary Efficacy Assessments 
8.1.1.1 
Time from End of Surgery to Time to First Toleration of Solid Food 
and First Bowel Movement 
The time from the end of surgery (defined as the time the patient leaves the operating 
room) to time to first toleration of solid food (defined as the time when the patient 
consumes a meal that requires chewing and has no significant nausea or vomiting, as per 
the judgment of the investigator, for 4 hours after that solid food) and first bowel 
movement (GI2) will be recorded in the eCRF. First toleration of solid food and first 
bowel movement will be recorded until the patient meets the primary endpoint described 
above. If the patient discontinues study treatment, the patient still needs to be followed 
for GI2 until the achievement of this endpoint or until he/she completes the study. If the 
patient is withdrawn from the study, first toleration of solid food and first bowel 
movement, as applicable, will be recorded at the ET Visit (see also Section 9.4.5.1). If a 
patient is discharged from the hospital prior to having a first bowel movement, the reason 
for discharge prior to having the first bowel movement will be recorded in the eCRF. 
Additionally, the patient will be instructed to inform the investigator or qualified 
designee by phone, text, or e-mail within 24 hours of having a first bowel movement up 
to and including Day 10. The investigator or qualified designee will communicate 
(phone, text, or e-mail) with the patient daily up to and including Day 10 to record when 
the first bowel movement occurred.

8.1.2.2 
Reinsertion of the Nasogastric Tube 
Whether a patient requires reinsertion of the nasogastric tube at any time during the 
postoperative treatment period will be recorded in the eCRF as yes or no along with the 
duration of the reinsertion (if applicable). 
 
8.1.2.3 
Readmission within 30 Day After Hospital Discharge 
Whether a patient is discharged by Day 10 and then readmitted for any reason within 
30 days after discharge will be recorded in the eCRF as yes or no, along with the reason 
why the patient is readmitted (if applicable). 
 
8.1.3

8.1.3.1 
Time from End of Surgery to Discharge Readiness 
The time from the end of surgery (as defined for the primary endpoint) to the time to 
discharge readiness (defined as GI recovery based on the clinical judgment of the 
investigator) will be evaluated and recorded in the eCRF. 
 
8.1.3.2 
Time from End of Surgery to Time of Actual Discharge 
The time from the end of surgery (as defined for the primary endpoint) to time of actual 
discharge (departure) from the hospital will be recorded in the eCRF.

8.2 
Safety Assessments 
Safety assessments will include recording of adverse events (AEs), including those that 
are serious and those that result in discontinuation of study treatment; clinical laboratory 
test results; vital signs measurements; 12-lead ECG findings; physical examination 
findings; postoperative pain, as assessed on the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS); 
and the administration of intra-operative and postoperative opioid analgesics. 
 
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA. 
 
For any abnormal laboratory test results (defined as hematology or blood chemistry 
values outside the reference range) or other safety assessments (eg, physical examination, 
vital signs, ECGs) that worsen from baseline following exposure to study treatment, the 
investigator will consider whether those results are clinically significant. For test results 
that are abnormal at baseline and significantly worsen (as per the judgment of the 
investigator) following the initiation of the study, the investigator must also consider 
whether those results are clinically significant. Any test result that is considered by the 
investigator or qualified designee to be clinically significant is to be recorded in the eCRF 
as an AE. If an abnormal laboratory finding is associated with disease or organ toxicity, 
the investigator should report only the disease or organ toxicity as an AE. 
 
The investigator will consider test results to be clinically significant in the following 
circumstances: 
 
• Test results lead to any of the outcomes included in the definition of a serious 
adverse event (SAE) (see Section 8.3). 
• Test results lead to a change in study treatment administration or discontinuation 
from the study. 
• Test results lead to a concomitant drug treatment or other therapy. 
• Test results require additional diagnostic testing (except for a confirmatory test) 
or other medical intervention. 
• Test results meet the management and stopping criteria for abnormal liver 
function tests identified in Section 7.1 and Appendix 5. When any test result 
meets the management and stopping criteria for liver function abnormalities 
(Section 7.1 and Appendix 5), the results of further assessments and required 
follow-up should be recorded in the Liver Event Form. 
 
In addition, the investigator should use his or her judgment in assessing the clinical 
significance of test results. 
 
8.2.1 
Physical Examinations 
• A physical examination will be performed as per standard of care at the hospital 
or, for the End-of-study Visit, at the hospital or doctor’s office. A preoperative 
physical examination (within 2 weeks prior to the patient signing the ICF) may be 
used, as long as the eCRF is completed. As per

8.2.2 
Vital Signs 
• Systolic/diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate will be measured once daily as 
close as possible after waking and recorded in the eCRF. Blood pressure will be 
assessed after approximately 3 to 5 minutes of rest. 
• Blood pressure and pulse measurements will be measured with a completely 
automated device. Manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is 
not available. 
• Clinically significant changes in vital signs from baseline (as per the judgment of 
the investigator or qualified designee) will be recorded in the eCRF as AEs. 
 
8.2.3 
Electrocardiograms 
• A 12-lead ECG will be obtained at specified time points as outlined in the SoA 
(see Section 1.3). A 12-lead ECG obtained within 2 weeks prior to the patient 
signing the ICF that shows no clinically significant abnormal finding may be used 
for Screening or Baseline purposes. The ECG results will be recorded in the eCRF 
as normal, abnormal – not clinically significant, or abnormal – clinically 
significant. 
 
8.2.4 
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments 
• See Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the 
SoA in Section 1.3 for the timing and frequency. All protocol-required laboratory 
assessments must be conducted in accordance with the local laboratory manual 
and the SoA. 
• The investigator or qualified designee must review the laboratory test results and 
record any clinically significant changes occurring during the study in the AE 
section of the eCRF. Clinically significantly abnormal laboratory findings are 
those which are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the patient’s condition (see 
Appendix 3). The laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents. 
• All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal 
should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer 
considered by the investigator to be clinically significant. 
o If such values do not return to normal or baseline within a period of time 
judged reasonable by the investigator, every effort should be made to 
determine the etiology and record it in the eCRF. 
• If laboratory values from unscheduled laboratory tests require a change in patient 
management or are considered by the investigator to be clinically significantly 
abnormal (eg, SAE or AE or dose modification), then the results must be recorded 
in the eCRF. 
 
8.2.5 
Numerical Pain Rating Scale 
The NPRS is an 11-point numerical scale on which patients will rate their pain on a scale 
of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst possible pain) over the past 24 hours (see Appendix 8).

The scale is a reliable instrument for assessing pain intensity [6]. Pain will be assessed 
once daily in the morning at approximately the same time of day at the time points 
specified in the SoA, and the rating will be recorded in the eCRF (Section 1.3). 
 
8.2.6 
Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale 
The COWS is a clinician-administered scale that rates 11 common opiate withdrawal 
signs and symptoms on a scale of 0 to a maximum of 4 or 5, depending on the sign or 
symptom (see Appendix 9). The scale is a reliable instrument for assessing a patient’s 
level of opioid withdrawal [7]. Opioid withdrawal will be assessed using this instrument 
at the time points specified in the SoA, and the rating will be recorded in the eCRF 
(Section 1.3). 
 
8.2.7 
Intra-operative and Postoperative Opioid Analgesics 
Intra-operative and postoperative opioid analgesics administered to patients will be 
recorded in the eCRF (see also Section 9.4.6). Doses of these medications will be 
recorded as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
 
8.3 
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events

Adverse events reported by the patient (or, when applicable, by a caregiver, surrogate, or 
the patient’s legally authorized representative) must be captured in source documents. 
Abnormal laboratory test results, blood pressure, pulse rate, and ECG findings after the 
first dose that are considered to demonstrate a clinically significant change from baseline 
will be recorded in the eCRF as treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). 
 
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, 
and recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for 
following up AEs that are serious, considered related to the study treatment or study 
procedures, or caused the patient to discontinue study treatment or withdraw from the 
study (see Section 7). 
 
8.3.1 
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting Adverse Event and 
Serious Adverse Event Information 
All AEs/SAEs will be collected from the date of signing of the ICF until the End-of-study 
Visit at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
 
All SAEs will be recorded in the eCRF and reported to the CRO within 24 hours of 
awareness, as indicated in Appendix 3. The investigator or qualified designee will submit 
any updated SAE information to the CRO within 24 hours of awareness. 
 
The investigators or qualified designees are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs 
after conclusion of the study participation. However, if the investigator or qualified 
designee learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a patient is no longer in 
the study, and the investigator or qualified designee considers the event to be reasonably

related to the study treatment or study participation, the investigator or qualified designee 
must promptly notify the CRO via phone, e-mail, or fax (see Appendix 3). Investigator 
assessment of causality must be included with all SAEs reported to the CRO. Serious 
adverse events with missing investigator causality will be followed up urgently until 
provided to the CRO. 
 
8.3.2 
Method of Detecting Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 3. 
 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended 
and non-leading questioning of the patient is the preferred method to identify AEs. 
 
8.3.3 
Follow-up of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator or qualified designee is required to 
proactively follow each patient at subsequent visits/phone contacts. All AEs/SAEs will be 
followed until resolution, stabilization, the event becomes chronic, or the event is 
otherwise explained or the patient is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7.3). Further 
information on follow-up procedures is given in Appendix 3. 
 
8.3.4 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Serious Adverse Events 
• Prompt notification by the investigator or qualified designee to the CRO of an 
SAE is essential so that legal obligations and ethical responsibilities for the safety 
of patients and the safety of an investigational study treatment are met. 
• The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority 
and other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study treatment under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory 
requirements relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional 
Review Boards (IRBs), and investigators. 
• Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious 
adverse reactions (SUSARs; ie, those not listed as expected in the Investigator’s 
Brochure under Reference Safety Information for Assessment of Expectedness of 
Serious Adverse Reactions) according to local regulatory requirements and 
sponsor policy and forwarded to investigators as necessary. 
• An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or 
other specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the CRO 
will review it and then file it with the Investigator’s Brochure and will notify the 
IRB, if appropriate, according to local requirements. 
 
8.3.5 
Pregnancy 
• Details of all pregnancies in female patients and female partners of male patients 
who receive naldemedine will be collected from the start of Screening through 
14 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Page 46 of 87 
 
 
• If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator or qualified designee should inform the 
CRO within 24 hours of learning of the pregnancy and should follow the 
procedures outlined in Appendix 4. 
• Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs. 
 
8.3.6 
Special Situations - Overdose and Medication Error 
Overdose and medication error of the study treatment (as defined below) must be 
reported to the CRO’s medical monitor via eCRF (or paper form if EDC is not available) 
by the investigator or qualified designee using a Special Situations Report Form as soon 
as possible. If there are associated SAEs, the investigator or qualified designee must also 
complete and submit an SAE submission in EDC as well. A missed dose (or doses) of an 
investigational product is not to be reported as a medication error. 
 
• Overdose - intentional or unintentional intake of study treatment 1 tablet more 
than the dose required in the protocol. 
• Medication Error - any unintended error in the prescribing, dispensing, or 
administration of study treatment. Cases of patients missing doses of study 
treatment are not considered reportable as medication errors. 
 
8.4 
Treatment of Overdose 
In the event of an overdose, the investigator/treating physician will treat the patient 
according to standard of care. The treatment will depend on the adverse reactions that 
occur as a result of the overdose. Any event of overdose should be recorded in the eCRF 
(or paper form if EDC is unavailable) and reported as a special situation to the CRO’s 
medical monitor as soon as possible. 
 
8.5 
Pharmacokinetics 
• The actual date and time (24-hour clock) of all study treatment dosing and each 
meal prior to dosing will be recorded in the eCRF. 
• Blood samples of approximately 4 mL will be collected for measurement of 
plasma concentrations of naldemedine and nor-naldemedine at the time points 
specified in the SoA (Figure 1-2) and in Table 1-2. Instructions for the collection 
and handling of biological samples will be provided by the CRO in the PK 
laboratory manual. The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of each sample 
will be recorded in the eCRF. 
• Samples will be used to analyze the plasma drug and metabolite concentrations of 
naldemedine and nor-naldemedine. Each plasma sample will be divided into 
2 aliquots (1 each for PK and a back-up). 
• Drug concentration information that may unblind the study will not be reported to 
investigative sites or blinded personnel until the study has been unblinded. 
• Pharmacokinetic parameters and definitions are provided in Section 9.4.7.1.2. 
Further details will be provided separately in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).

9. STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
9.1 
Statistical Hypotheses 
The study design and primary objective are based on the hypothesis that naldemedine 
1.25 mg, 2.5 mg, and/or 5 mg are superior to placebo for patients undergoing surgeries 
that include a bowel resection or bowel transection. 
 
9.2 
Sample Size Determination 
The planned sample size of between 44 and 85 patients per treatment in the mITT 
Population was determined by a simulation study with 10,000 iterations to provide 80% 
power to demonstrate the linear dose-response relationship between treatment groups 
(3 naldemedine groups and placebo group) in the primary endpoint at a 2-sided 
significance level of 0.05. In total, approximately 200 to 340 patients in the study will be 
required. 
 
The simulation estimated 44 patients per treatment group to see a linear trend in the 
restricted mean survival time (RMST) up to 240 hours for the time to the event of GI2 
across a 24-hour difference between naldemedine 5 mg and placebo under 80% statistical 
power at a 2-sided significance level of 0.05. Eighty-five patients per treatment group 
will be required to see a linear trend in RMST up to 240 hours across an 18-hour 
difference between naldemedine 5 mg and placebo. In addition, the time to the event of 
GI2 in each group follows the Weibull distribution by referring to the survival curve for 
the time to the event of GI2 shown in the alvimopan package insert. It was assumed that 
an independent censoring followed an exponential distribution with a rate such that 
approximately 20% of patients were censored within 240 hours. 
 
The final sample size will be dependent on the enrollment rate during the fixed 
enrollment period. A minimum of 44 patients per group in the mITT Population is 
desired. 
 
9.3 
Populations for Analyses 
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined: 
 
Population

Summary statistics for compliance with study drug administration will be presented by 
treatment group for the mITT Population. 
 
9.4.5 
Efficacy Analyses 
The mITT Population will be the primary population for efficacy analyses. 
 
9.4.5.1 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint 
The primary endpoint will be time from the end of surgery (defined as the time the 
patient leaves the operating room) to time to first toleration of solid food (defined as the 
time when the patient consumes a meal that requires chewing and has no significant 
nausea or vomiting, as per the judgment of the investigator, for 4 hours after that solid 
food) and first bowel movement (GI2). 
 
The mean survival time, which is also referred to as the RMST, of GI2 events within 
240 hours will be estimated using the area under the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve. To 
demonstrate the linear dose-response relationship between treatment groups 
(3 naldemedine groups and placebo group) and the RMST, the linear contrast test for 
trend with contrast coefficients of (-3, -1, 1, 3) will be performed. If a dose-response 
relationship is detected, then pairwise comparisons of the RMST between each dose 
group of naldemedine and the placebo group will be conducted, and the treatment 
differences (with its 95% confidence interval [CI]) will be provided. If an event does not 
occur during the evaluation period of 240 hours, the patient will be censored at the time 
of his/her last nonmissing postbaseline assessment. The same analysis will be performed 
in the Per Protocol set. In addition, the reason for discharge prior to having the first bowel 
movement will be listed. 
 
Patients will continue to be evaluated for efficacy regardless of treatment adherence. The 
use of additional therapies or interventions that could treat any component of the primary 
endpoint (eg, motility agents, anti-emetics, laxatives, etc), may confound the results of 
the primary efficacy analysis. This list of therapies will be finalized before database lock. 
To examine this issue, the following exploratory analyses of the GI2 endpoint will be 
performed or provided: 
 
• Repeat of the primary analysis, excluding all patients who received additional 
therapies at any time postrandomization that could treat any of the components of 
the GI2 endpoint. It is recognized that this subset is selected based on 
postrandomization decisions, may be confounded with the treatment group, and 
may not represent a randomized subgroup of the primary endpoint. 
• Table of proportion of patients in each treatment group who received additional 
therapies that could treat any of the GI2 components. 
• Two-way table summarizing each patient’s status at the end of the trial regarding 
receipt of an additional therapy that could treat any of the GI2 components and 
whether the GI2 endpoint was achieved. For example, the rows can be yes/no for 
GI2 endpoint achieved, and the columns can be receipt of additional therapy. This

table will be done during the evaluation period of 240 hours for patients and by 
treatment group. 
• Proportion of patients in each group that achieve the GI2 endpoint, regardless of 
use of additional therapies that could treat any of the GI2 components. This will 
be tabulated cumulatively by day. The cumulative proportions achieving the GI2 
endpoint will be compared at Day 10 with the difference in proportions and an 
associated 95% CI will be provided. 
• Proportion of patients in each group that achieve the GI2 endpoint, where the use 
of additional therapies that could treat any of the GI2 components included in the 
analysis as a patient failure to achieve the GI2 endpoint, beginning with the day 
the patient first receives the additional therapy. This will be tabulated 
cumulatively by day. The cumulative proportions achieving the GI2 endpoint will 
be compared at Day 10, with the difference in proportions and an associated 95% 
CI provided. 
 
9.4.5.2 
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints 
Secondary efficacy endpoints will be as follows: 
 
● Time from the end of surgery (as defined for the primary endpoint) to time when 
the discharge order is written 
● Proportion of patients requiring postoperative reinsertion of the nasogastric tube 
● Proportion of patients with nausea on Days 1 through 3 
● Proportion of patients with vomiting on Days 1 through 3 
● Proportion of patients discharged by Day 10 who are readmitted for any reason 
within 30 days after discharge from the hospital 
 
For time from the end of surgery to time when the discharge order is written, the same 
KM approach as used for the primary efficacy analysis will be performed. The proportion 
of patients for each of the other parameters will be summarized by treatment group. 
 
9.4.5.3 
Exploratory Efficacy Endpoints 
Exploratory efficacy endpoints will be as follows: 
 
• Time from the end of surgery (as defined for the primary endpoint) to time to 
discharge readiness (defined as GI recovery based on the clinical judgment of the 
investigator) 
• Time from the end of surgery (as defined for the primary endpoint) to time of 
actual discharge (departure) from the hospital 
• Proportion of patients with prolonged hospital stay (defined as hospitalization for 
≥ 7 days postoperatively) due to GI dysfunction 
• Time from initial insertion of the nasogastric tube to removal of the nasogastric 
tube

• Proportion of patients with abdominal distention on Day 1 through the day on 
which GI2 is achieved 
• Proportion of patients with nausea on Day 4 through day of discharge 
• Proportion of patients with vomiting on Day 4 through day of discharge 
• Proportion of patients who achieve GI2 in each treatment group by postoperative 
day 
• Proportion of patients who receive concomitant medication that may have a 
laxative effect 
• Effect of prior surgery (yes/no) on the GI2 endpoint 
For time from the end of surgery to time to discharge readiness and to time of actual 
discharge from the hospital, the same KM approach as used for the primary efficacy 
analysis will be performed. The proportion of patients for each of the other parameters 
will be summarized by treatment group. 
 
9.4.6 
Safety Analyses 
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Population. 
 
Adverse events will be classified by system organ class and preferred term using Medical 
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Adverse events reported after the initial 
dose of study drug will be considered TEAEs and will be analyzed. 
 
The number and the percentage of patients who experienced TEAEs will be summarized 
by treatment group. Treatment-emergent SAEs, AEs related to study treatment, and 
TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug will also be summarized by treatment 
group. The number of occurrences of TEAEs, which are counted among patients 
reporting those TEAEs, will also be presented in the categories above in an overall 
summary. 
 
For the summary of TEAEs by system organ class and preferred term, the number and 
percentage of patients who experienced TEAEs will be presented for each treatment 
group. A summary of TEAEs by severity and by relationship to study treatment will be 
presented by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. 
 
All AEs, including AEs that have occurred before and after the first dose of the study 
treatment, will be listed. 
 
Summary statistics for laboratory tests and vital signs will be presented for all time 
points. The change from baseline to each time point in laboratory tests and vital signs will 
be summarized. In addition, the proportion of patients with clinically significant changes 
from baseline in laboratory tests, vital signs, and ECG data will be presented. Criteria for 
clinically significant changes in laboratory tests, vital signs, and ECG data will be 
defined in the SAP.

Other Analyses 
9.4.7.1 
Pharmacokinetic Analyses 
All PK analyses will be performed on the PK Populations. 
 
9.4.7.1.1 
Plasma Concentration 
Plasma concentrations of naldemedine and nor-naldemedine will be listed and 
summarized by treatment and nominal sampling time with the number of non-missing 
observations (N), arithmetic mean (mean), standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of 
variation (CV%, calculated by SD/mean × 100), geometric mean and coefficient of 
variation for geometric mean (Geometric CV%), and median, minimum and maximum 
values at each sampling time. The Geometric CV% will be calculated as follows: 
Geometric CV% = [exp (sd2)-1]1/2 × 100, where SD is the standard deviation for natural 
log (ln)-transformed data. The time course profiles for plasma drug and metabolite 
concentrations will be presented graphically. 
 
For the summary of plasma drug and metabolite concentrations, concentrations below the 
lower limit of quantification (BLQ) will be treated as zero (0) for calculations of the 
mean, SD, CV%, and median, minimum, maximum values and will be treated as missing 
for calculation of the geometric mean and geometric CV% values. 
 
9.4.7.1.2 
Pharmacokinetic Parameters 
The following PK parameters will be calculated, whenever possible, for naldemedine and 
nor-naldemedine from plasma concentration data on Day 3 (immediately before the 
morning dose and 1 hour and 2, 4, 8, and 12 hours after the morning dose before 
administration of the evening dose) by non-compartmental methods. Other parameters 
may be computed, as appropriate, upon review of the data. The estimated PK parameters 
will be computed for each study patient using the actual sample collection times recorded 
in the eCRF during the study.

The estimated PK parameters except for Tmax will be summarized by treatment with N, 
mean, SD, CV%, geometric mean, geometric CV%, median, minimum and maximum 
values. The Tmax will be summarized by analyte and dosing regimen with N, mean, SD, 
CV%, median, minimum and maximum values. If the number of PK parameter data is 
< 3, the data will not be summarized. 
 
Individual plasma concentrations, if deemed to be anomalous, may be excluded from the 
analysis at the discretion of the PK study director. Any such exclusion will be disclosed 
in the study report along with the justification for exclusion. 
 
For the calculations of PK parameters, BLQ before the occurrence of the first quantifiable 
concentration on Day 3 will be treated as zero, and BLQ after the first occurrence of the 
quantifiable concentration on Day 3 will be treated as missing. 
 
AUC0-τ will be calculated with observed plasma concentrations from time 0 to τ (actual 
time) on Day 3 without extrapolation or interpolation. The actual time for the predose 
(0 hours) on Day 3 will be replaced with 0. If observed plasma concentration at τ on 
Day 3 is BLQ, area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time 
of the last quantifiable concentration after dosing (AUC0-last) will be used as AUC0-τ. 
 
Pharmacokinetic calculations will be performed by using WinNonlin Version 6.2.1 or 
higher.

Interim Analyses 
A Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will review all data when assessing the benefit 
versus risk of the ongoing results. Since such a review may include efficacy data, an 
alpha spending function will be included in the DMC Charter that allows for a small 
spend of alpha that will not impact the final alpha assessment level (eg, an alpha spend of 
0.0001 based on Haybittle–Peto could be used to control alpha for each interim analysis). 
The DMC Charter will specify the spending function to be used. 
 
In addition, depending on the enrollment rate, an interim efficacy analysis may be 
feasible. Based on the operational feasibility of such an interim analysis, the interim 
analysis could include a nonbinding futility assessment. For example, should the 
enrollment project that 85 patients per group is achievable and an interim analysis based 
on 44 patients per group can be conducted in a timely and worthwhile fashion prior to the 
last patient enrolled, then the DMC will review the interim analysis results. Details for 
interim analyses, including futility, will be provided in the DMC Charter and/or an 
accompanying DMC SAP. 
 
9.6 
Data Monitoring Committee 
A DMC will review the study data periodically as specified in a separate DMC Charter.

10.1.8 
Study and Site Closure 
The sponsor/designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at 
any time for any reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor. 
 
A study site will be closed upon study completion at the site. A study site is considered 
closed when all required documents and study supplies have been collected, data have 
been collected, and a study-site closure visit has been performed. 
 
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable 
cause and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination. 
 
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include 
but are not limited to: 
 
• Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the 
IRB or local health authorities, the sponsor’s procedures, or GCP guidelines 
• Inadequate recruitment of patients by the investigator 
• Discontinuation of further study treatment development 
If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the sponsor shall promptly inform 
the investigators, the IRBs, the regulatory authorities, and any contract research 
organizations used in the study of the reason for termination or suspension, as specified 
by the applicable regulatory requirements. The investigator shall promptly inform the 
patients and should assure appropriate patient therapy and/or follow-up. 
 
10.1.9 
Publication Policy 
• All information regarding study treatment/naldemedine supplied by the sponsor to 
the investigator is confidential. The investigator agrees to use this information to 
accomplish the study and must not use it for other purposes without consent from 
the sponsor. 
• The results of this study may be published or presented at scientific meetings. If 
this is foreseen, the investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to 
the sponsor before submission. This allows the sponsor to protect proprietary 
information and to provide comments. 
• The sponsor will comply with the requirements for publication of study results. In 
accordance with standard editorial and ethical practice, the sponsor will generally 
support publication of multicenter studies only in their entirety and not as 
individual site data. In this case, a coordinating investigator will be designated by 
mutual agreement.

Pregnancy Testing: 
• WOCBP should only be eligible after a verbally confirmed menstrual period and a 
negative urine pregnancy test. 
• Pregnancy testing will be performed whenever a menstrual cycle is missed or 
when pregnancy is otherwise suspected. 
 
Collection of Pregnancy Information: 
Details of this procedure are described in Section 8.3.5. 
Male patients with partners who become pregnant 
• The investigator or qualified designee will attempt to collect pregnancy 
information on any male patient’s female partner who becomes pregnant while 
the male patient is in this study. This applies only to male patients who receive 
naldemedine. 
• After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female 
partner directly, the investigator or qualified designee will record pregnancy 
information on the paper Pregnancy Form and submit it to the CRO within 
24 hours of learning of the partner’s pregnancy. The female partner will also be 
followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. Information on the status of 
the mother and child will be forwarded to the CRO. Generally, follow-up will be 
no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the estimated delivery date. Any 
termination of the pregnancy will be reported regardless of fetal status (presence 
or absence of anomalies) or indication for the procedure. 
 
Female patients who become pregnant 
• The investigator or qualified designee will collect pregnancy information on any 
female patient who becomes pregnant while participating in this study. 
Information will be recorded on the appropriate form and submitted to the CRO 
within 24 hours of learning of a patient’s pregnancy. The patient will be followed 
to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The investigator or qualified designee 
will collect follow-up information on the patient and the child and the information 
will be forwarded to the CRO. Generally, follow-up will not be required for 
longer than 6 to 8 weeks beyond the estimated delivery date. Any termination of 
pregnancy will be reported, regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of 
anomalies) or indication for the procedure.

1. All events of ALT or AST > 3 × ULN AND total bilirubin > 2 × ULN or INR > 1.5 may indicate 
severe liver injury and must be reported as an SAE (excluding studies of hepatic impairment or 
cirrhosis). The INR stated threshold value will not apply to patients receiving anticoagulants. 
2. Serum bilirubin fractionation should be performed if testing is available. If serum bilirubin 
fractionation is not immediately available, discontinue study intervention if ALT or AST > 3 × ULN 
and total bilirubin > 2 × ULN. Additionally, if serum bilirubin fractionation testing is unavailable, 
record the absence/presence of detectable urinary bilirubin on dipstick which is indicative of 
direct bilirubin elevations suggesting liver injury. 
3. hepatitis A immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody; hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B 
core antibody (HBcAb); hepatitis C RNA; cytomegalovirus IgM antibody; Epstein-Barr viral capsid 
antigen IgM antibody (or if unavailable, heterophile antibody or monospot testing); and hepatitis E 
IgM antibody. 
4. Pharmacokinetic sample may not be required for patients known to be receiving placebo or 
noncomparator interventions. Record the date/time of the PK blood sample draw and the date/time of 
the last dose of study intervention prior to the PK blood sample draw on the CRF. If the date or time of 
the last dose is unclear, provide the patient’s best approximation. If the date/time of the last dose 
cannot be approximated OR a PK sample cannot be collected in the time period indicated above, do 
not obtain a PK sample. Instructions for sample handling and shipping are in the PK laboratory 
manual.
