Design: 
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, 
dose finding study of VERU-944 to treat hot flashes (vasomotor 
symptoms) in men with advanced prostate cancer on ADT. The study will 
be conducted as a staged study with Stage 1 being a three-arm evaluation 
of placebo, 10 mg and 50 mg of VERU-944. When all subjects have 
completed Week 6 (Day 42) of dosing, an evaluation of the efficacy of the 
doses administered in Stage 1 will be made (safety will be assessed in a 
blinded review) and Stage 2, a two-arm evaluation of placebo and 100 mg 
VERU-944 may be initiated. Stage 1 of the study will have three arms 
(placebo, 10 mg VERU-944, and 50 mg VERU-944) and Stage 2 of the 
study will have two arms (placebo and 100 mg VERU-944) with 
approximately 30 subjects per arm. The subjects participating in the study 
will have advanced prostate cancer and will be undergoing androgen 
deprivation therapy (ADT) with a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone 
(LHRH) therapy (agonist or antagonist) for at least the three months prior 
to randomization and be experiencing regular moderate to severe hot 
flashes while on ADT.  Subjects will all continue to receive ADT and will 
be randomized to receive, for the first four days, a loading dose followed 
by daily doses of placebo or VERU-944 (10 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg) orally 
for a total period of 12 weeks.   
Subjects: 
Approximately, ninety (90) subjects will be randomized into Stage 1 of this 
study and approximately 60 subjects are planned to be randomized into 
Stage 2 of this study. Subjects with advanced prostate cancer who have 
experienced moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) for at 
least one month prior to study entry will be enrolled.  Subjects must have 
been maintained on ADT with an LHRH agonist or antagonist for at least 
the 3 months prior to randomization will be screened for the study and if 
these subjects meet the other inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be 
randomized into the study.   
Treatments: 
Subjects will be maintained on ADT with an LHRH agonist or antagonist 
while on the study.  In addition to ADT, each subject will be orally 
administered either placebo, 10, or 50 mg of VERU-944 daily after they 
have completed a four day loading dose as outlined in Section 7.3 in Stage 
1 of the study. Each subject in Stage 2 of the study will receive either 
placebo or 100 mg of VERU-944 daily after they have completed a four 
day loading dose as outlined in Section 7.3.

Procedures: 
 
Potential study participants will undergo a series of screening evaluations 
within 28 days prior to randomization.  Subjects who give written informed 
consent and satisfy the selection criteria will be enrolled into the study.   
The frequency and severity of hot flashes will be recorded daily beginning 
with screening and through week 12 (Day 84). Assessments of serum total 
and free testosterone, serum SHBG and serum PSA will be made at 
baseline (Day 1), Days 30, 60 and 84.  Bone turnover markers will be 
assessed at baseline (Day 1) and Day 84.   
Safety evaluations including assessment of adverse events, serum PSA, 
periodic monitoring of vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram (single) and 
clinical laboratory results (including hematology, serum chemistry 
(including LDH) will be conducted at every visit. 
Patients that have been previously screened for this study and could not 
complete screening for reasons other than not meeting the inclusion and 
exclusion criteria, may be rescreened into the study. Laboratory testing 
conducted under this protocol (Appendix A) within 45 days prior to 
randomization into this study, may be used as the baseline laboratory 
values for this study and repeat laboratory testing is not required unless 
new coadministered medication(s) has been started, unless the investigator 
determines that retesting is warranted. 
Stage 2 
dosing 
evaluation: 
After the last subject has completed Day 42 of Stage 1, an unblinded 
assessment of the Week 6 (Day 42) hot flashes frequency (primary 
endpoint), hot flash severity (first secondary endpoint),and a blinded 
assessment of safety of VERU-944 will be conducted. 
If an effective dose of VERU-944 has been identified in Stage 1, Sponsor 
reserves the right to not initiate Stage 2 of this protocol. 
If an unacceptable safety profile is observed in Stage 1, Sponsor reserves 
the right to not initiate Stage 2 of this protocol.

INTRODUCTION 
3.1 
Background 
Veru Inc. is developing VERU-944 (cis-clomiphene), a nonsteroidal estrogen, as a hormonal 
therapy for the alleviation of vasomotor symptoms, commonly known as hot flashes in men 
undergoing ADT. Cis-clomiphene is one of two geometric isomers of clomiphene, which is 
approved as Clomid® (clomiphene citrate oral capsules, 50 mg; NDA 016131; Sanofi Aventis 
US) for the treatment of ovulatory dysfunction in women desiring pregnancy. While trans-
clomiphene is anti-estrogenic, cis-clomiphene is an estrogen agonist at pharmacologic 
concentrations (Turner et al., 1998; Fitzpatrick et al., 1999; Kaminetsky et al., 2013). 
Furthermore, cis-clomiphene has a half-life of 5±7 days (Mikkelson et al., 1986; Mürdter et 
al., 2012). VERU-944 is expected to be effective and safe in men with prostate cancer 
undergoing ADT based on the established efficacy of low dose estrogens in the treatment of 
vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) and safety of off-label clomiphene use for male infertility. 
3.2 
Target Indication and Pharmacologic Activity 
Introduction 
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men with over 160,000 new cases expected in 
2017 (American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts & Figures 2017).  As advanced prostate cancer 
is hormone sensitive, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard of care for patients 
with metastatic or locally advanced prostate cancer, either alone or in combination with other 
drug treatments or radiation (National Comprehensive Cancer Network, 2016). The main 
objective of ADT is to lower the serum testosterone level to castrate level of approximately 
1.7 nmol/L (< 50 ng/dL) (Djavan et al., 2012). ADT is usually achieved either by surgical 
orchiectomy (castration) or by medically administering LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing 
hormone) agonists and antagonists.  
One of the main side effects of low testosterone levels in men is vasomotor symptoms, 
commonly known as hot flashes.  Hot flashes are experienced by about 75% of men receiving 
ADT (Holzbeierlein et al., 2004) aQd aUe a VigQificaQW cRmSRQeQW iQ meQ¶V perception of their 
quality of life (Holzbeierlein et al., 2004).  One study found 38% of men who had experienced 
hot flashes over the past four weeks were distressed about them (Holzbeierlein et al., 2004).  
These hot flashes can have a long duration.  For example, in men experiencing hot flashes 
while on ADT, 70% of them continued to experience them five years later (Karling 1994).  
Men describe their experience of hot flashes with physical as well as emotional descriptors 
(Isbarn et al., 2008).  Up to 80% of men have described hot flashes that range from mild to 
very severe, lasting up to 30 minutes and accompanied by feelings of anxiety, irritability and 
being out of control. (Schow 1998). Hot flashes for men, as for women, often require some 
sort of action such as changing clothes or taking a shower (Isbarn et al., 2008). Hot flashes in 
men who have advanced prostate cancer being treated by ADT have detrimental effects on 
overall quality of life such that cancer-related distress caused by hot flashes are a contributing 
factor in the discontinuation of ADT (Engstrom, 2008; Ulloa et al., 2009; Frisk, 2010).

The precise mechanism of hot flashes in men is not fully understood, but appears to be similar 
to postmenopausal hot flashes in women. Studies in postmenopausal women and women 
undergoing breast cancer treatment who experience hot flashes have shown that abrupt 
withdrawal of sex hormones leads to a dysfunctional hypothalamic thermoregulation resulting 
in vasomotor flushing (Kaplan and Mahon, 2014). In women, hormones (usually estrogen 
combined with progesterone), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-
noradrenalin reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), clonidine, and gabapentin have been effective in 
treating hot flashes. Similar treatments have been attempted in men with inconsistent activity; 
overall, hormonal treatments (cyproterone and medroxyprogesterone) are generally thought to 
be more effective than non-hormonal treatments at reducing hot flashes in men on ADT 
(Loprinzi et al., 1994; Frisk, 2010; Irani et al., 2010; Vitolins et al., 2013). Hot flashes in men 
on ADT are typically treated by off-label treatments such as an SSRI, whereas hormones such 
as estrogen and megestrol are reserved for refractory cases (Smith and Crawford, 2017). 
Hot Flash Treatment for Men 
There are no approved therapies for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms 
in men with advanced prostate cancer on ADT. There have been few placebo controlled, 
multicenter studies evaluating possible drug interventions for hot flashes these men. 
Megestrol acetate, 20 mg twice a day (Loprinzi et al., 1994), depomedroxyprogesterone 400 
mg IM (Brosman S 1995), and venlafaxine 12.5 mg twice a day has been investigated as a 
tool to address hot flashes in men (Loprinzi et al., 1999).  A very small randomized trial was 
completed with 12 men after orchiectomy with cyproterone acetate (100 mg three times a 
day) which appeared to reduce hot flashes (Eaton and McGuire, 1993).  In addition to 
hormonal approaches, in women, the norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, venlafaxine, has been 
studied and shown to be an effective non-hormonal treatment for hot flashes (Evans et al., 
2005) although there is no evidence that this approach will work in men.  
Another drug that has received some pilot testing, specifically in men, is sertraline as reported 
in a series of case studies (Roth and Scher 1997).  Five men who were being treated with 
androgen ablation therapy for prostate cancer exhibited symptoms of hot flashes, symptom 
distress, trouble sleeping, worsening mood, fatigue and illness concerns.  Patients were treated 
with sertraline, starting with 25 mg daily, and titrated up to 100 or 150 mg daily.  From these 
five cases, it appeared that improvement in hot flashes was not experienced until the dose was 
at least 50 mg daily and side effects were experienced at a dose of 150 mg daily.  Specific 
reductions in hot flashes were not provided for every case, but one man experienced a 75 % 
reduction in hot flashes while another experienced a 50% reduction.  In addition to hot flash 
reduction, the author reports improvement in mood and irritability (Roth and Scher 1997).  
Doses from 50 mg to 100 mg appeared to be tolerated very well in this small group of cases. 
Gabapentin for the treatment of hot flashes 
To date, there has only been one placebo-controlled, Phase 3 study of an agent to control hot 
flashes in men with prostate cancer on ADT.  This study, albeit non-regulatory, investigated 
the anti-seizure medication, gabapentin. In this trial, men with bothersome hot flashes as

- 12 - 
defined as the occurrence of at least 14 times per week, were evaluated and of sufficient 
severity to make the patient desire therapeutic intervention, with the hot flashes being present 
for at least 1 month before study entry.  The study duration was four weeks and during this 
time, the patients on the highest gabapentin dose arm (900 mg/day) demonstrated a significant 
decrease in hot flash frequency (p=0.02) and a trend towards lower scores (p=0.10) (Loprinzi 
2009).  In a continuation phase of this study, those effects were maintained (Moraska et al., 
2007). Although these results were promising, gabapentin is not widely used for the treatment 
of hot flashes in this male population and the unmet medical need remains. 
 
Estrogens for the treatment of hot flashes in men with advanced prostate cancer on ADT 
 
As stated briefly above, vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) occur in a majority of men 
receiving ADT for advanced prostate cancer.  Since decreasing estrogen levels as a result of 
the ADT are a contributing cause of the hot flashes, the off-label use of estrogenic compounds 
have historically been used.  For example, low doses of diethylstilbestrol (0.25 mg/day) 
appears to have efficacy but can result in significant breast swelling and tenderness along with 
an increase in cardiovascular side effects (Smith JA 1994; Smith JA 1996; Glashan 1981).  
Transdermal estrogen patches are another route of off-label administration of estrogens for 
this indication.  In a study of twelve men with moderate to severe hot flashes who were 
randomized to receive either low dose (0.05 mg) of high dose (0.10 mg) estrogen twice 
weekly for four weeks.  Although no placebo group was included in this study, a significant 
reduction in the severity and frequency of hot flashes was observed in the high dose arm and 
in severity only in the low dose arm (Gerber 2000).   
 
In conclusion, while the off-label use of estrogens appears to have benefit for the treatment of 
hot flashes in men with advanced prostate cancer, the type of most efficacious estrogen or 
estrogen preparation as well as dosing route or schedule is not known. Furthermore, the 
potential for safety issues with potent steroidal estrogens remains a significant limitation to 
their clinical utility.  These published data support the evaluation of VERU-944 to determine 
the optimal dose for efficacy and safety of a nonsteroidal estrogen to treat hot flashes in men 
with advanced prostate cancer on ADT. 
3.3 
Study Rationale 
Veru is evaluating cis-clomiphene (zuclomiphene), a nonsteriodal estrogen, as a hormonal 
therapy for the amelioration of hot flashes in men undergoing ADT for advanced prostate 
cancer. Cis-clomiphene is one of two geometric isomers of clomiphene, which is approved as 
Clomid® (clomiphene citrate oral tablets, 50 mg; NDA 016131; Sanofi Aventis US) for the 
treatment of ovulatory dysfunction in women desiring pregnancy. While trans-clomiphene is 
anti-estrogenic, cis-clomiphene is an estrogen agonist at pharmacologic concentrations 
(Turner et al., 1998; Fitzpatrick et al., 1999; Kaminetsky et al., 2013; Section 7.4.1.1). 
Furthermore, cis-clomiphene has a half-life of 5±7 days (Mikkelson et al., 1986; Mürdter et 
al., 2012). VERU-944 is expected to be effective and safe in men with prostate cancer 
undergoing ADT based on the established efficacy of low dose estrogens in the treatment of 
vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) and safety of off-label clomiphene use for male infertility.

7.2.3 Drug Dose Justification 
The doses of VERU-944 (cis-clomiphene) selected in this dose finding study are 10, 50 and 
100 mg daily.  Support for the utilization of these doses results from published studies as well 
as additional work that the Sponsor has performed.  
In mouse studies, 40 mg/kg/day cis-clomiphene for 90 days results in a significant reduction 
in testicular weight as well as testicular degeneration (Fontenot GK et al., BJUI Int, 117:344-
350, 2016). Using the FDA published guidance on conversion from animal studies to humans 
(FDA, Maximum Safe Starting Dose in Initial Clinical Trials for Therapeutics in Adult 
Healthy Volunteers), the 40 mg/kg dose is multiplied by 0.08 resulting in an equivalent 
human dose of 3.25 mg/kg.  For an average weight adult (70 kg) this would correspond to 227 
mg.  In the same study, at 4 mg/kg/day there were no effects on testicular degeneration but 
seminal vesicle weights were somewhat reduced. This dose would correspond to a 22.7 mg in 
humans.  From this study, it appears that the efficacious range for cis-clomiphene will be 
above 22.7 mg with a maximum of 227 mg. 
In a study in baboons, administration of 1.5 mg/kg for 12 days resulted in mild 
reduction of total serum T levels, an estrogenic signal (Fontenot, unpublished 2001).  
Utilizing the FDA conversion from a baboon to a human dose (multiplication by 0.54), 
in an average adult, this would correspond to 56.7 mg further supporting our proposed 
dose range for the Phase 2 study.   
In ovariectomized female rats 3 mg/kg cis-clomiphene for 90 days results in the 
restoration of uterine weight to the pre-ovariectomized state similar to a 0.1 mg/kg 
dose of estradiol (Turner RT et al., Endo, 139:3712-3720, 1997).  A 3 mg/kg dose in 
rats would correspond to 33.6 mg daily dose in an average human.   
When hypogonadal men were treated with 25 mg daily clomiphene citrate for 6 
weeks, the median steady state level of cis-clomiphene was 44.0 ng/ml (Helo S et al., 
BJUI Int 119:171-176, 2017).  Assuming that clinically available clomiphene citrate 
contains 30% cis-clomiphene, that would equate to 7.5 mg daily cis-clomiphene 
resulting in these steady state levels.  Extrapolating the daily doses that will be used in 
this study, a 10 mg dose will result in steady state level of 59 ng/ml, a 50 mg dose 
would result in 293 ng/ml and a 100 mg dose would result in 1,173 ng/ml.   
In order to determine if these concentration ranges would result in estrogenic activity, 
in vitro assays were utilized.  In a transactivation assay, the effective concentration of 
cis-clomiphene appears to be in the range of 1.2 PM which correspond to a level 717.6 
ng/ml.  Based upon the Helo 2017 study, this blood level would be achieved within 
the dose finding range of 50 mg and 100 mg.  In a separate in vitro study utilizing a in 
a rat hypothalamic cell line they observed an EC50 of cis-clomiphene of 100 nM 
corresponds to a level of 60 ng/ml (Fitzpatrick SL Endo 140:3928-3937, 1999).  This

the authors point out, cell type specific differences.   
Low doses of estrogens have been shown to ameliorate vasomotor symptoms (hot 
flashes) in men who underwent bilateral orchiectomy or on ADT for advanced

Protocol V72203 – FINAL Version 9.0 
 
FINAL: AMENDMENT 4 30 October 2019 
- 19 - 
prostate cancer.  A daily dose of 1 mg diethylstilbestrol (DES) over 12 weeks 
eliminates the hot flashes in 86% of these men (Atala A et al., Urology, 1992).  
VERU-944 is 400X less potent of an estrogen as DES based on the transactivation in 
vitro study, but does have a much longer half-life supporting the selected dose range to 
evaluate the activity of VERU-944 for the treatment of hot flashes in men who have 
advanced prostate cancer on ADT. 
VERU-944 is intended for daily maintenance dosing following a 4-day loading period. 
Due to the relatively long half-life of cis-clomiphene, the loading doses were included 
in the protocol to shorten the time to steady-state cis-clomiphene plasma levels in 
order to determine whether that dose level will have efficacy at Day 28 to treat hot 
flashes, the primary endpoint of the proposed study. During the first 4 days of 
treatment, the subjects will receive a loading dose that is determined by their 
maintenance dose (10, 50, or 100 mg). On day 1, subjects will take 5 times their 
maintenance dose at a single time; on days 2±4, subjects will take 3 times their 
maintenance dose at a single time. 
As mentioned above, the rationale for the loading dose is to achieve steady state 
quickly to meet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requirement for the 
demonstration of efficacy at Day 28 of dosing (FDA Draft Guidance for Industry, 
2003: Estrogen and Estrogen/Progestin Drug Products to Treat Vasomotor Symptoms 
and Vulvar and Vaginal Atrophy Symptoms ± Recommendations for Clinical 
Evaluation). Based upon the published 14.2±33.4 day half-life of cis clomiphene 
(Szutu et al., 1989), without a loading dose, evaluation of efficacy as reflected by the 
steady state will not be achieved until after Day 28. Therefore, Veru has developed a 
dosing regimen for this study that includes loading doses (see Table below).  
Cis-clomiphene, as part of the FDA approved product Clomid, has been used in men 
for off-label acute and chronic indications with limited reported safety observations. 
However, in an ongoing nonclinical toxicology study of VERU-944 in rats and beagle 
dogs, preliminary indications are that the dose of VERU-944 required to treat hot 
flashes in men with prostate cancer on ADT is between 10-50 mg (data on file). 
Moreover, at a high dose of cis-clomiphene of 20 mg/kg/day (a human equivalent dose 
of 667 mg in a 60 kg human) in male dogs, dose limiting toxicities have been 
observed. The dose limiting toxicities that have been observed include elevations in 
liver function tests (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, GGT, and total bilirubin), 
weight loss and death. No significant toxicities have been observed in the ongoing 
study in rats. Due to the preliminary information that suggests a dose of VERU-944 up 
to 50 mg per day will show efficacy and safety in the proposed indication, Protocol 
V72203 has been amended so that the 100 mg dose of VERU-944 will not be used 
until and unless the dose of 50 mg VERU-944 has been shown to not be effective for 
the proposed indication and an acceptable side effect profile is determined at the 
blinded placebo, 10 mg and 50 mg doses of VERU-944 in Stage 1.

7.2.4 Drug Accountability 
Patients should not take a replacement dose if a dose is missed. Study medication should not 
be taken more than once a day. 
The pharmacists or other site personnel as delegated by the Investigator are responsible for 
accountability of all used and unused study drug supplies. A study drug dispensing log should 
be kept current and should contain the dates and quantities of drug dispensed to the subject, 
Whe VXbjecW¶V ideQWificaWiRQ (i.e., VXbjecW QXmbeU), Whe initials of the dispensing persons and the 
date and quantity of drug returned. Drug accountability and reconciliation should be assessed 
and performed at each outpatient visit. At the end of the study, a final study drug 
reconciliation statement will be retrieved by the clinical monitor assigned to the site. Veru 
Inc., shall be immediately notified of any unexpected occurrences during the dispensing of 
study drug. 
7.3 
Drug Administration 
Dosing should occur greater than (1) hour before or greater than (1) hour after eating.  
Subjects will take the entire daily dose at once according to the dosing schedule below. 
Subjects randomized to the placebo group will receive placebo capsules daily. During the first 
four days of treatment, the subjects will receive a loading dose representing the dose arm that 
they have been randomized to.  On day one they will take five times their maintenance dose at 
a single time.  On days 2-4 they will take 3 times their maintenance dose at a single time each 
day.  Upon completion of the loading dose (Days 1-4), subjects in the 10 mg VERU-944 dose 
arm will receive one 10 mg capsule of VERU-944 daily.  Subjects in the 50 mg VERU-944 
dose arm will receive one 50 mg VERU-944 capsule daily. Subjects in the 100 mg VERU-
944 dose arm will receive one 100 mg VERU-944 capsule daily.

currently used in the protocol. Therefore, to adequately assess the effect of VERU-944 
on moderate to severe hot flashes at steady state, Week 6 (Day 42) is being named as 
the timepoint for the primary efficacy endpoint in this Phase 2 study.

purpose of this assessment is a change in risk from baseline. Also, while the 
questionnaire is designed for the patient to complete, in this study, the Caprini VTE 
risk assessment should be filled out by study personnel with information from the 
SaWieQW aQd SaWieQW¶V chaUW.  
If there is an increase in risk from baseline (Day 1) in this assessment, appropriate 
preventative actions should be taken. The subject should be consulted about the risk 
for VTE and actions that would increase their risk further such as long periods of 
inactivity and surgery. Prophylactic anticoagulation therapy should be considered.  
Prolonged PTT-LA, dRVVT and Protein C and/or Protein S deficiency are not 
exclusionary from the study. However, if a patient has a prolonged PTT-LA, a 
prolonged dRVVT or is deficient for Protein C and/or Protein S, and remains eligible 
for participation in the study, prophylactic anticoagulation therapy should be 
considered.

Pharmacokinetic Sampling 
8.9.1 
Blood Samples 
Samples of venous blood for the determination of trough plasma concentrations of VERU-944 
and related metabolites will be obtained on Days 1 (prior to dose), 30, 60 and 84. The sample 
should be taken prior to dosing with VERU-944 on these days. The time of the last dose of 
study drug prior to the clinic visit (day before visit) and the time of the blood samples should 
be carefully recorded. 
The blood samples should be collected in a 6 mL K2EDTA blood collection tube at each 
collection time.   
Immediately after collection, the tubes will be gently inverted several times to mix the 
anticoagulant with the blood sample. Blood samples may be kept on wet ice (the use of ice 
packs in a water bath is also acceptable) for up to 20 minutes until processed. The plasma 
fraction will be separated by placing the collection tube into a centrifuge for 10 minutes at 
1,500 x g. The plasma fraction will be withdrawn by pipette and divided into two 
polypropylene freezing tubes (with each tube receiving approximately equal aliquots). All 
plasma samples will be placed into a freezer at -20oC (or below) within 1 hour after 
collection. (NOTE: A flash freezing in dry ice or liquid nitrogen is NOT required under this 
protocol but may be used.) 
Any remaining plasma samples after completion of the protocol outlined pharmacokinetic 
analysis may be used to identify and quantify the metabolites of VERU-944 or measure other 
biomarkers of safety or efficacy. 
8.9.2 
Plasma Sample Labels 
The plasma freezing tube labels will contain the following information: 
x Subject Number 
x Study Number 
x Site Number 
x Nominal Day Collection

and sample analysis will be included with the final report. 
8.10 Rules for Subjects that Become at High Risk for the Development of Venous 
Thromboembolic Events during the Study 
If a subject has any of the events listed below during the study, they are considered to have an 
increased risk of development of a VTE. The subject should be monitored closely and 
prophylactic anticoagulation therapy should be used if clinically indicated. These subjects are 
not required to discontinue the study if these events occur: 
1. 
Surgery 
2. 
Hospitalization 
3. 
Trauma, such as a broken long bone 
4. 
Radiation therapy to prostate for cancer control (radiation to bone to relieve pain is 
acceptable) 
5. 
Prolonged immobilization 
If a subject is expecting to have a prolonged immobilization such as a long car ride or plane 
ride or sitting at a desk for a long period of time, the subject should be instructed carefully 
about proper steps to take to prevent VTEs. Specifically, subjects should be instructed to, 
whenever possible, get up and walk around (at least every two hours) and flex your feet up 
and down while sitting by alternating raising your toes off the floor while keeping your heels 
on the floor and then pointing your toes. Subjects should also wear compression stockings if 
long periods of inactivity are expected. 
The Caprini Venothromboembolism Risk Assessment (Appendix E) rules and instructions 
should be followed. However, it is important to note that it is expected that the patient 
population included in this study will have some risk of VTE due to age, presence of a 
malignancy, and BMI. The purpose of this assessment is to monitor for increased risk from 
baseline. The events listed above will increase the risk of VTEs in these patients. 
8.11 Subject Stopping Rules 
If, in the opinion of the investigator, the participation in the study is or is becoming 
detrimental to the well-being of a particular subject, this issue should be discussed with the 
Medical Monitor for this study and dosing may be discontinued. 
Subjects that experience a Grade 3 or greater toxicity according to the Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4

that is deemed to be possible, probably or definitely related to study drug will be discontinued 
from the study. Prior to discontinuation from the study, the grading of the event and causal 
relationship should be discussed with the Medical Monitor for the study. 
Subjects will be discontinued from dosing if AST or ALT levels are >5 times the upper limit 
of normal, or if AST or ALT levels are >3 times the upper limit of normal along with a total 
bilirubin elevation of >2 times the upper limit of normal. 
8.12 Early Discontinuation of Study Treatment 
A subject will be considered to have completed the trial if they received at least 84 days of 
treatment with VERU-944 or the study is terminated by the sponsor.  Subjects may 
prematurely discontinue study treatment for any of the following reasons: 
1.
Consent Withdrawn (specify the reason).
2.
Significant and unacceptable adverse event ± specify the adverse event leading to
discontinuation
3.
Investigator decision (specify the reason), must be approved by the Medical Monitor
4.

b. Death due to primary disease? Yes or no
c.
Death due to study drug? Yes or no
d. Death due to adverse event? Yes or no
7.
Study terminated by the Sponsor
8.
Other reason (specify the reason) should be approved by the Medical Monitor
The reason for discontinuation of study treatment will be documented for each subject. 
Subjects who discontinue prematurely will not be replaced. If a subject is discontinued from 
the study, he will be asked to complete all End of Study visit assessments and return all study 
materials (study medication and electronic device). At the time of discontinuation, please fill 
out the End of Study case report forms (eCRFs) and subject disposition eCRF pages. 
8.13 Adverse Events 
An adverse event (AE) is any unfavorable or unintended change in body structure (signs) or 
body function (symptoms), abnormal laboratory result that is associated with symptoms or 
requires treatment, or worsening of a pre-existing condition. This includes all such events 
regardless of the presumed relationship between the event and the study medication(s). 

Veru Inc 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Protocol V72203 – FINAL Version 9.0 
 
FINAL: AMENDMENT 4 30 October 2019 
- 29 - 
Any AE that occurs after the informed consent is signed but prior to dosing on Day 1 will be 
captured as part of the medical history and will be documented on the appropriate eCRF. This 
would include AEs resulting from concurrent illnesses, reactions to concomitant medications 
or progressive disease states. These AEs will be captured as part of the medical history. 
Each subject will be assessed for the development of any adverse events. Adverse events 
should be assessed at each visit to the clinic. This information should be obtained in the form 
of non-leading questions (e.g., "How are you feeling?") and from signs and symptoms 
detected during each examination, observations of the study personnel or spontaneous reports 
from the subjects. 
Any AEs such as complaints, signs, or symptoms that occur during the course of the study or 
designated follow-up periods will be recorded on the subject's case report form (eCRF). This 
would include AEs resulting from concurrent illnesses, reactions to concomitant medications, 
or progressive disease states. 
Whenever possible, the AE will be described on the case report form using standard medical 
terminology consistent with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 
version 4 in order to avoid the use of vague, ambiguous or colloquial expressions. The 
investigator will evaluate all adverse events as to their intensity, relation to test medication, 
outcome and action taken. 
Each AE will be evaluated for duration, intensity, and relationship to (or association with) the 
study treatment (or other causes). Additionally, the actions taken (e.g., reduction of dosage, 
discontinuation of study medication, administration of treatment, etc.) and the resulting 
outcome of the AE will be indicated on the case report form. 
Any subject who is withdrawn from the study due to an adverse event will be followed until 
the outcome of the event is determined, and the investigator will prepare a written summary 
of the event and document the available follow-up information on the case report form. 
8.13.1 
Intensity of Adverse Events 
The intensity of the AEs will be graded according to CTCAE version 4. For any adverse event 
that is not specifically covered in CTCAE version 4, the following criteria should be used:

Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; 
hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; 
limiting self-care activities of daily living 
4 
Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. 
5 
Death related to AE 
If the intensity (Grade) changes within a day, the maximum intensity (Grade) should be 
recorded. If the intensity (Grade) changes over a longer period of time, the changes should be 
recorded as separate events (having separate onset and stop dates for each grade). 
8.13.2 
Test Medication Causality 
The relationship (or association) of each AE to the test medication will be assessed by the 
investigator according to the following definitions: 
Unrelated: 
There is no chance that the study medication caused the AE; other conditions, 
including concurrent illnesses, progression or expression of the disease state, or a reaction to a 
concomitant medication best explain the event. 
Unlikely: 
There is little chance that the study medication caused the AE; other 
conditions, including concurrent illnesses, progression or expression of the disease state, or a 
reaction to a concomitant medication best explain the event. 
Possible: 
The association of the AE with the study medication is unknown; however, the 
AE is not clearly due to another condition. 
Probable: 
A reasonable temporal association exists between the AE and treatment 
administration and, based on the investigator's clinical experience, the association of the AE 
with the study treatment seems likely. 
Definite: 
The association of the AE with the study medication has a direct relationship. 
For the purpose of safety analyses, all AEs which are classified as "Possible," "Probable" or 
³DefiQiWe´ Zill be cRQVideUed WUeaWmeQW-related events.

Serious Adverse Events 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any experience that suggests a significant 
clinical hazard, contraindication, side effect, or precaution. This includes any event which: 
x Results in death. 
x Is life-threatening. 
x Requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization 
x Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. 
x Results in congenital abnormality/birth defect. 
x Requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage 
An SAE also may include other events, based on medical judgment, which jeopardize the 
patient or subject and require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes 
listed above. 
Any SAE, including death due to any cause, which occurs during the study or within 30 days 
following cessation of study medication, whether or not related to the study medication, must 
be reported immediately via telephone (within 24 hours) to Veru Inc. Drug Safety. 
In addition, the investigator must immediately complete a Serious Adverse Event eCRF report 
form and electronically submit the form. The investigator will promptly notify the 
Institutional Review Board (IRB). 
If additional information regarding a previously submitted SAE is obtained, a follow-up SAE 
eCRF report should be completed and submitted as indicated above. Supporting source 
documentation should be provided to Worldwide Clinical Trials Drug Safety at the contact

In the event an SAE is observed or reported, the SAE report will be completed as thoroughly 
as possible including all available details about the event and the signature of the Investigator. 
If the Investigator does not have all information about an SAE, the Investigator will not wait 
to receive additional information before notifying the Sponsor of the event and completing the 
form. The form will be updated when additional information is received.  
8.13.5 
Precautions 
Adverse events should be treated in accordance with standard medical practice. During the 
course of the study, the overall safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of all study 
treatments will be reviewed by the sponsor and the investigator. 
8.13.6 
Reporting of Adverse Events Associated with Study Drug Overdose, Misuse, 
Abuse or Medication Error 
AEs associated with study drug overdose, misuse, abuse, and medication error refer to AEs 
associated with uses of the study drug outside of that specified by the protocol. Overdose, 
misuse, abuse, and medication error are defined as follows: 
Overdose: Accidental or intentional use of the study drug in an amount higher than the 
protocol-defined dose 
Misuse:  Intentional and inappropriate use of study drug not in accordance with the protocol 
Abuse: Sporadic or persistent intentional excessive use of study drug accompanied by harmful 
physical or psychological effects 
Medication error: Any unintentional event that causes or leads to inappropriate study drug use 
or subject harm while the study drug is in the control of site personnel or the subject. 
All AEs associated with overdose, misuse, abuse, or medication error should be captured on 
the Adverse Event eCRF and also reported using the procedures detailed in Reporting of 
SAEs even if the AEs do not meet serious criteria. Abuse is always to be captured as an AE. If 
the AE associated with an overdose, misuse, abuse, or medication error does not meet serious 
criteria, it must still be reported using the SAE form and in an expedited manner but should be 
noted as non-serious on the SAE form and the Adverse Event eCRF. 
8.14 Concomitant Medications and Concomitant Therapies 
Any medication (including OTC medications) taken by a subject within 30 days prior to the 
Screening Visit and during the course of the study and the reason for use of the medication 
will be recorded on the eCRF. Upon entering the study, each subject will be instructed to 
report the use of any medication (including OTC medications) to the investigator. 
Any radiation therapy (linear beam or seeds) taken by the subject within 30 days prior to the 
Screening Visit and during the course of the study, including type of treatment, and duration 
of the treatment will be recorded on the eCRF.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 
9.1 
Sample Size Calculation 
The proposed trial sample size, n=30 per arm, total N=90 in Stage 1, is based on the mean 
change in hot flash frequency from baseline to Week 4 (Day 28) (the planned primary 
endpoint at the time of the original study design). Other assumptions include: one-sided 
Į=0.10; ȕ=0.10 (i.e., power=0.9), equal variances, the variance is equal to the mean of the 
active arm, and a frequency in at least one treated arm that is 40% less than that of the placebo 
arm on Week 4 (Day 28). The same assumptions hold for Stage 2 as well with proposed trial 
sample size of n=30 per arm, N=60 in Stage 2.  Total enrollment if both stages are completed 
will be approximately N=150.   
All patients in screening at the time that the 90th patient is randomized into Stage 1 of the 
study that qualify for the study will be randomized into the study up to a maximum of 120 
patients (40 per arm). In Stage 2, all patients in screening at the time the 60th patient is 
randomized into Stage 2 of the study that qualify for the study will be randomized into the 
study up to a maximum of 80 patients (40 per arm).  
9.2 
Populations

study drug. 
Efficacy Evaluable (EE) population: All subjects in the ITT population who have 
analyzable baseline data and 12 weeks of hot flash data. Subjects must also be at least 80% 
compliant with taking study drug with no major protocol deviations, including no major 
inclusion/exclusion deviations. 
Efficacy Evaluable Interim Analysis (EEIA) population: All subjects in the ITT 
population who have analyzable baseline data and 6 weeks of hot flash data. Subjects must 
also be at least 80% compliant with taking study drug with no major protocol deviations, 
including no major inclusion/exclusion deviations. 
Safety population: All subjects that receive at least one dose of study medication. The safety 
analyses will be conducted on this population.

Efficacy Analyses 
The primary efficacy analyses will be among the EE (EEIA) population.  The comparison of 
percentage change in frequency from baseline to Week 6 between the placebo arm and each

of the 10 mg and 50 mg dose arms will be of primary interest in Stage 1. In Stage 2, the 
comparison of percentage change in frequency from baseline to Week 6 between the placebo 
arm and the 100 mg dose arm will be of primary interest.   
Subjects will record events of hot flashes (frequency and severity) utilizing an application on 
an electronic device (i.e. smartphone). An example of the specific questions asked and 
definitions of severity are included in Appendix C 
9.3.1 
Primary Analyses 
9.3.1.1 Hot Flash Frequency, Week 6 (Day 42) 
Mixed models repeated measures (MMRM) analyses that incorporate, treatment, time, 
and the treatment*time interactions will be the primary analytical method for the 
percentage change in the frequency of moderate to severe hot flashes.  The percentage 
change from baseline in frequency of moderate to severe hot flashes in each active 
arm will be compared to the placebo arm at Week 6 (Day 42). The analysis will be 
handled in two ways within the MMRM framework: (1) the means analysis comparing 
the change from baseline to Week 6, and (2) the slope analysis comparing the rate of 
change from baseline to Week 6. 
 
The primary endpoint in the study will be analyzed when the last patient reaches Day 
42. However, the clinical site and patients will remain blinded through the completion 
of the Day 84 efficacy assessments and the follow up safety visits. 
Each VXbjecW¶V hRW flaVh fUeTXeQc\ will be summed on a weekly basis. Because the 
MMRM is the primary analytical method, it will be possible to estimate Week 6 
changes from baseline by incorporating the preceding weeks¶ daWa, e.g., Week 6 
estimates will incorporate data from baseline and Week 1 through Week 6.  Analyses 
will be performed for the EE (EEIA) populations. 
If the MMRM model does not converge or has poor fit, T-tests or non-parametric 
tests, if the data are deemed non-normally distributed, will compare changes over time 
within (Paired T-test or Wilcoxon sign-rank test) an arm and between (T-test or 
Wilcoxon rank sum test) each active arm and the placebo arm, respectively.  
The Hochberg procedure (Hochberg Y, 1988) will be applied to control for the 
multiple comparisons associated with the comparisons between the two dose arms and 
placebo and the two different MMRM analyses (means, slope) in the primary analyses 
of frequency of hot flashes in Stage 1. The analyses for Stage 2 will be treated 
similarly to address the multiplicity of the MMRM analyses.  Note that the placebo 
arm in Stage 2 comprises a cohort of subjects distinct from those placebo subjects that 
were enrolled during Stage 1.

Secondary Analyses 
9.3.2.1 Hot Flash Frequency (Weeks 4, 8, 10 and 12) and Severity (Weeks 4, 6, 8, 
10, and 12) 
Mixed models repeated measures (MMRM) analyses that incorporate, treatment, time, 
and treatment*time interactions will be the primary analytical method for the 
percentage change in both the frequency and severity of moderate to severe hot 
flashes:  frequency (severity).  The percentage change from baseline in frequency 
(severity) of moderate to severe hot flashes in each active arm will be compared to the 
placebo arm at Week 4 (Day 28), Week 8 (Day 56), Week 10 (Day 70), and Week 12 
(Day 84). Each analysis will be handled in two ways within the MMRM framework, 
as described for the primary analysis above. 
Each VXbjecW¶V hRW flaVh fUequency (severity) will be summed on a weekly basis. 
Because the  MMRM is the primary analytical method, it will be possible to estimate 
Weeks 4, 8, 10, and 12 changes from baseline by incorporating the precediQg ZeekV¶ 
data, e.g., Weeks 4, 8, 10, and 12 estimates will incorporate data from baseline and 
Week 1 through Weeks 4, 8, 10, and 12. Analyses will be performed for the ITT and 
PP populations. 
If the MMRM model does not converge or has poor fit, T-tests or non-parametric 
tests, if the data are deemed non-normally distributed, will compare changes over time 
within (Paired T-test or Wilcoxon sign-rank test) an arm and between (T-test or 
Wilcoxon rank sum test)  each active arm and the placebo arm, respectively.  
If the MMRM model does not converge or has poor fit, non-parametric tests will 
compare changes over time within (Wilcoxon sign-rank test) an arm and between 
(Wilcoxon rank sum test) active arms and the placebo arm, respectively.  
The Hochberg procedure (Hochberg Y, 1988) will be applied to control for the 
multiple comparisons associated with the comparisons between the two dose arms and 
placebo and the two different MMRM analyses in the analyses of frequency (severity) 
of hot flashes for Stage 1. The analyses for Stage 2 will be treated similarly to address 
the multiplicity of the two MMRM analyses.  Note that the placebo arm in Stage 2 
comprises a cohort of subjects distinct from those placebo subjects that were enrolled 
during Stage 1.  
The severity of hot flash analysis will be the average severity at baseline of only the 
moderate and severe hot flashes. The severity of hot flashes analysis at Weeks 4, 6, 8, 
10, and 12 will be the average severity of all hot flashes, i.e. mild, moderate, and 
severe hot flashes.

9.3.4 Safety Analysis 
The frequency of adverse events (AEs) will be tabulated by MedDRA term and system 
organ class. The incidence of AEs and the maximum intensity and frequency of AEs 
will be summarized. A new onset AE is defined as an AE that was not present prior to 
treatment with study medication but appeared following treatment, or was present at 
treatment initiation but worsened during treatment. An AE that was present at 
treatment initiation but resolved and then reappeared while the patient was on 
treatment is a new-onset AE (regardless of the intensity of the AE when the treatment 
was initiated). 
All laboratory results, vital sign measurements, and other safety variables will be 
summarized using appropriate descriptive statistics. Changes from baseline will be 
computed and will be summarized using appropriate descriptive statistics. 
9.3.4.1 Data Safety Monitoring Board 
There will be no formal Data Monitoring Committee for this study. Safety data, 
including all SAEs, will be reviewed on an ongoing basis by a Safety Review Team 
comprised of the Medical Monitor, and representatives of the Sponsor. This Safety 
Review Team will meet at least monthly.  Additional ad hoc meetings will be 
scheduled if required to evaluate the safety and/or thromboembolic events further.

Before initiating a trial, the Investigator/Institution should have written and dated 
approval/favorable opinion from the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/IRB for the trial 
protocol/amendment(s), written informed consent form, any consent form updates, subject 
recruitment procedures (e.g., advertisements), any written information to be provided to 
subjects and a statement from the IEC/IRB that they comply with GCP requirements. The 
IEC/IRB approval must identify the protocol version as well as the documents reviewed. 
After IEC/IRB approval, changes will require a formal amendment. Once the study has 
started, amendments should be made only in exceptional circumstances. Changes that do not 
affect subject safety or data integrity are classified as administrative changes and generally do 
not require ethical approval. If ethically relevant aspects are concerned, the IEC/IRB must be 
informed and, if necessary, approval sought prior to implementation. Ethical approval on 
administrative changes will be obtained if required by local/site IEC/IRB.

referred to the site for resolution through data queries. 
The eCRFs must be reviewed and electronically signed by the Investigator in order to be 
considered complete. 
10.5.5 Record Keeping 
Records of subjects, source documents, monitoring visit logs, eCRFs, inventory of study 
drugs, regulatory documents, and other Sponsor correspondence pertaining to the study must 
be kept in the appropriate study files at the site. Source data is defined as all information in 
original records and certified copies of original records of clinical findings, observations, or 
other activities in a clinical study necessary for the evaluation and reconstruction of the 
clinical study. Source data are contained in source documents (original records or certified 
copies). These records will be retained in a secure file for the period as set forth in the Clinical 
Study Agreement. Prior to transfer or destruction of these records, the Sponsor must be 
notified in writing and be given the opportunity to further store such records.  
10.6 Data Quality 
Monitored eCRFs transferred from the investigational site to the assigned Data Management 
group will be reviewed (secondary monitoring) for completeness, consistency, legibility and

c.  The pharmacokinetic blood samples should be done prior to receiving the dose of study drug for that day. 
d.  It is important to note that it is expected that the patient population included in this study will have some risk of VTE due to age, presence of a 
malignancy, and BMI. The purpose of this assessment is a change in risk from baseline. Also, while the questionnaire is designed for the 
patient to complete, in this study, the Caprini VTE risk assessment should be filled out by study personnel with information from the patient 
and SaWieQW¶V chaUW. 
e. The same schedule of study evaluations will be used in Stage 1 and Stage 2 of this protocol.

Appendix C: Hot Flash Assessments 
Assessments of hot flashes will be made at baseline (14 contiguous days during screening) 
and daily from Day 1 (first dose) to the end of the study. Patients will record frequency 
and severity of hot flashes using an electronic diary (eDiary) to ensure attributable, time 
stamped data collection in an unsupervised environment.  When experiencing a hot flash 
the subject will indicate on the app that they have had a hot flash and then will assign a 
severity to the hot flash based upon the following scale: 
A. MILD:  sensation of heat without sweating 
B. MODERATE:  sensation of heat with sweating, able to continue activity 
C. SEVERE:  sensation of heat with sweating, causing cessation of activity 
 
The hot flashes will then be compiled to examine the number of hot flashes during the 
period and their severity.
