Protocol Amendment 3 (dated 23 June 2021)
The principal reason for this amendment is to revise the protocol to be globally applicable, in 
line with the decision to expand the study to include countries other than Japan, where the 
study is currently ongoing. At the time of the original protocol and Amendments 1 and 2, the 
study was planned to be conducted in Japan only. By expanding the study to additional 
countries and increasing the sample size, immunocompromised children with different 
underlying causes from different countries can be included in the study, supporting the safety 
evaluation in a diverse population. Additionally the increase in sample size aligns with the 
design and number of participants pre-determined for other high risk populations under study 
within the program.

4.2.2 Treatment and 
Follow-up Period
Previous 4.3.7 Clinical 
Laboratory Tests
Clinical chemistry and hematology
removed from visit schedule (Section 
4.2.2).
Previous Section 4.3.7 removed (not 
applicable).
In order to minimize the volume of 
blood collected, and to harmonize 
with other nirsevimab studies in 
children with RSV, clinical 
laboratory data will not be collected 
outside of Japan. 
Considering that nirsevimab is a 
monoclonal antibody with no 
endogenous target, available data 
from previous nirsevimab studies, 
and experience from other drugs
(palivizumab and motavizumab) in 
the same pharmacological class, the 
risk of observing laboratory 
abnormalities associated with 
nirsevimab is considered to be very 
low, and routine monitoring of 
clinical laboratory measurements is 
not deemed necessary.
4.2.2 Treatment and 
Follow-up Periods
Study Visit 3 replaced with telephone 
call, consecutive visits renumbered 
accordingly.
To reduce the number of visits at the 
clinic and to harmonize with other 
nirsevimab studies in children with 
RSV.

STUDY DESIGN
Study D5290C00008 is a Phase 2, open-label, uncontrolled, single-dose study, planned to be conducted in 
South Africa, the United States, and the European Union, in addition to Japan, where the study in currently 
ongoing, to evaluate the safety and tolerability, PK, occurrence of ADA, and efficacy of nirsevimab in 
immunocompromised children who are ≤24 months of age at the time of dose administration. Approximately 
100 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will be followed for approximately 1 year after dose administration.
TARGET SUBJECT POPULATION
Neonates, infants, and young children ≤24 months of age at the time of dose administration, with 
immunodeficiency.
TREATMENT GROUPS AND REGIMENS
Subjects entering their first RSV season will receive a single fixed IM dose of nirsevimab 50 mg if body 
weight < 5 kg or 100 mg if body weight ≥5 kg (n = ~ 50), and subjects entering their second RSV season will 
receive a single fixed IM dose of nirsevimab 200 mg (n = ~ 50).
STATISTICAL METHODS 
Sample Size
A total of approximately 100 subjects are planned to receive a single IM dose of nirsevimab to evaluate the 
safety, PK, ADA, and efficacy, which will be assessed descriptively. The originally proposed sample size of 
30 was based on a similarly designed palivizumab study in a similar population, and it is expected to be 
sufficient in establishing a PK profile that allows extrapolation of efficacy and safety data from the Phase 2b 
(D5290C00003) and Phase 3 (
 studies in healthy preterm and term infants to the target 
immunocompromised population. The updated sample size of 100 allows for the collection of data from a 
larger, global cohort of immunocompromised children with different underlying conditions.
 
 
Statistical Analyses
There are 2 planned analyses for this study: an interim analysis and a final analysis. The interim analysis will 
be conducted when subjects enrolled globally by end of 2021 have been followed through Day 151. For the 
interim analysis, all safety, PK, ADA and efficacy data available at the time of the data cut-off for subjects 
enrolled by end of 2021 will be analyzed. A minimum of approximately of 30 subjects is expected to be 
sufficient in establishing a PK profile for efficacy and safety extrapolation at the time of the interim analysis. 
The final analysis will be conducted after all subjects have completed the last visit of the study (ie, Day 361). 
Data will be summarized for the overall study population, as well as for Japan only.
Safety Analyses
Adverse events will be graded according to the current version of the National Cancer Institute Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events where applicable for pediatric assessments. AEs will be coded 
according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, and the type, incidence, severity, and 
relationship to investigational product will be summarized. Other safety assessments will include the 
occurrence of AESIs defined as AEs of immediate hypersensitivity (including anaphylaxis), 
thrombocytopenia, and immune complex disease (eg, vasculitis, endocarditis, neuritis, glomerulonephritis) 
following investigational product administration, and the occurrence of NOCDs following investigational 
product administration.

Pharmacokinetic Analyses
Serum concentrations of nirsevimab at selected time points will be evaluated to confirm that adequate 
exposures for protection from RSV LRTI are maintained for at least 5 months after dosing. Nirsevimab serum 
concentration data will be presented in descriptive statistics. 
Antidrug Antibody Analyses
The incidence of ADA to nirsevimab will be assessed and summarized by number and percentage of subjects 
who are ADA positive. The impact of ADA on PK, and the association with TEAEs and TESAEs, will be 
assessed, if data permit.
Efficacy Analyses
The incidence of medically attended RSV LRTI (inpatient and outpatient) through 150 days post dose, based 
on RSV test results (performed centrally using RT-PCR) and objective protocol-defined LRTI criteria, will be 
summarized for all dosed subjects. For subjects with multiple medically attended RSV LRTI events, only the 
first occurrence will be used in the analysis.
The incidence of RSV hospitalization through 150 days after dose will also be summarized. Additional 
analyses will include summarizing RSV positive LRTI endpoints using results from either the central or local 
laboratory.
Additional Analyses
 
Healthcare Resource Utilization
The magnitude of HRU (eg, number of admissions to hospitals and ICUs and duration of stay; number of 
subjects who require respiratory support and supplemental oxygen and the duration of use; number and types 
of outpatient visits, eg, ER, urgent care, outpatient clinic; and number of prescriptions and OTC medications 
use) will be summarized.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Disease Background
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of lower respiratory tract 
infection (LRTI) among infants and young children, resulting in annual epidemics worldwide 
(Hall et al, 2009; Shay et al, 1999; Shi et al, 2017; Stockman et al, 2012). All children, 
including healthy term infants, are at risk for severe RSV lower respiratory illness with 
primary RSV infection during infancy. Ninety percent of children are infected with RSV in 
the first 2 years of life, and up to 40% of those will have LRTI (Greenough et al, 2001; 
Meissner, 2003; Parrott et al, 1973). RSV LRTI, characterized predominantly as bronchiolitis 
or pneumonia, represents a serious illness with acute and perhaps long-term consequences to 
the developing lungs in these young children (Blanken et al, 2013). It is estimated that RSV 
causes up to 90% of childhood bronchiolitis and up to 40% of pediatric pneumonias (Hall, 
2001). In 2015, an estimated 33.1 million (uncertainty range, 21.6 to 50.3 million) new 
episodes of RSV-associated LRTI occurred worldwide in children < 5 years of age (28% of 
LRTI episodes), with approximately 3.2 million (range, 2.7 to 3.8 million) episodes 
necessitating hospitalizations, leading to 59,600 (range, 48,000 to 74,500) in-hospital deaths 
(Shi et al, 2017). Children < 1 year of age had an estimated 2.3 million hospital admissions. 
The overall mortality due to RSV LRTI was estimated to be as high as 118,200 (uncertainty 
range, 94,600 to 149,400) (Shi et al, 2017).
Children with congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies, transplant recipients, and those 
receiving immunosuppressive therapy are at increased risk for severe RSV-associated LRTI 
with prolonged viral shedding and higher viral loads (Resch et al, 2009), resulting in 
prolonged hospitalizations (11.5 to 24 days), admissions to the intensive care unit (ICU), and 
the need for mechanical ventilation (Asner et al, 2013; Manzoni et al, 2017; Moyes et al, 
2013). Among immunocompromised children hospitalized with RSV, ICU admission rates of 
19% or higher have been reported (Asner et al, 2013; Rowan et al, 2018). In addition, 
RSV-associated mortality rates can reach 60% in untreated children with immunodeficiencies, 
compared to a mortality rate of less than 0.5% in healthy infants with RSV (Asner et al, 2013).
Prevention of RSV illness in all infants is a major public health priority. However, despite 
many years of attempted vaccine development (Kim H. W. et al, 1969), there is no licensed 
vaccine for these children. Currently, the primary management of RSV-associated LRTI 
includes supportive care such as supplemental oxygen and mechanical ventilation. Other 
therapies such as ribavirin and immunoglobulins may be used to treat RSV infection in 
immunocompromised patients, but their effectiveness remains unclear (Asner et al, 2013; Kim 
E. et al, 2014; Rowan et al, 2018). 
Palivizumab (Synagis®) is the only approved agent for RSV prophylaxis, and its use is limited

children with chronic lung disease (CLD) of prematurity (also known as bronchopulmonary 
dysplasia), and children with hemodynamically significant congenital heart disease (CHD). In 
Japan, palivizumab received approval in 2013 for an additional indication in children 
≤24 months of age with immunocompromised medical conditions or Down syndrome. 
Approval of this new indication was based on an open-label study that evaluated the efficacy, 
pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety of palivizumab in 28 immunocompromised Japanese 
children. In that study, the serum trough concentrations were comparable with 
Western-approved, indicated pediatric populations and Japanese-approved, indicated pediatric 
populations (preterm infants and children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia or 
hemodynamically significant CHD) (Mori et al, 2014). A larger postmarketing surveillance 
study with 312 Japanese children ≤ 24 months of age with immunocompromised medical 
conditions or Down syndrome demonstrated that palivizumab is generally safe and effective 
in this population (Kashiwagi et al, 2018). However, because its half-life (t1/2) is 
approximately 1 month, infants and young children need to receive monthly intramuscular 
(IM) doses of palivizumab throughout the RSV season to maintain protection. This constitutes 
a significant burden on healthcare providers as well as the infants/children and their families.
1.2
Nirsevimab Background
Nirsevimab (MEDI8897) is briefly described below. Refer to the current Investigator’s 
Brochure for details. 
Nirsevimab is a recombinant human immunoglobulin G (IgG)1 kappa monoclonal antibody 
(mAb) directed against the prefusion conformation of the RSV F protein. The antibody has 
been engineered with a triple amino acid substitution (YTE; M257Y/S259T/T261E 
[M252Y/S254T/T256E, according to the European Union {EU numbering system}) in the 
fragment crystallizable (Fc) region to prolong the t1/2, which is expected to provide protection 
from serious RSV disease for the duration of the RSV season. Nirsevimab neutralizes RSV by 
binding the prefusion conformation of the RSV F protein at a site distinct from that bound by 
palivizumab. In nonclinical studies, nirsevimab was > 150-fold more potent than palivizumab 
in vitro and approximately 9-fold more potent than palivizumab in vivo in the cotton rat model 
(Zhu et al, 2017). Nirsevimab is currently under development by AstraZeneca (hereafter, the 
Sponsor) for the passive immunization of all infants entering their first RSV season and
children with CLD or CHD entering their first and second RSV season for the prevention of 
LRTI caused by RSV. Nirsevimab may provide a cost-effective opportunity to protect all 
infants from RSV disease based on an improvement in potency and the extended t1/2 that is 
expected to support once-per-RSV-season dosing.
1.3
Summary of Nonclinical Experience
The potential clinical utility of nirsevimab and dose predictions of the antibody were 
evaluated in the cotton rat model of RSV infection. The PK of 1G7, the non-YTE version of

nirsevimab, was evaluated in cotton rats following a single IM dose of 0.25 to 3.0 mg/kg. 
Serum concentrations increased dose proportionally across the entire dose range with a 
terminal-phase elimination t1/2 of approximately 1 day. In cotton rats, a serum concentration of 
6.8 μg/mL resulted in a 3-log reduction in lung RSV titers and for Phase 2b was identified as 
the target serum concentration to maintain in children to provide antiviral activity against RSV 
over the RSV season.
The YTE amino acid substitutions introduced into nirsevimab do not impact RSV neutralizing 
activity when compared to the parental mAb, 1G7. Nirsevimab/1G7 showed potent antiviral 
activity in vitro against RSV A and B laboratory strains, clinical isolates, as well as 
palivizumab-resistant viruses. Nirsevimab/1G7 was > 150-fold more potent than 
palivizumab in vitro against the laboratory strains and > 50-fold more potent than 
palivizumab against clinical isolates based on the median half-maximal inhibitory 
concentration (Zhu et al, 2017).
Toxicity, toxicokinetics, and immunogenicity of nirsevimab were evaluated in a Good 
Laboratory Practice-compliant repeat-dose intravenous (IV) and IM toxicology study 
conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. Cynomolgus monkeys represent a pharmacologically 
relevant model for nonclinical safety assessment based on similar binding of nirsevimab to 
cynomolgus monkey neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) compared to human FcRn. Toxicology 
studies in cynomolgus monkeys indicate that there is no evidence of nirsevimab toxicity in 
these animal models. Once weekly IV or IM administration (5 doses total) of nirsevimab to 
monkeys, up to and including 300 mg/kg IV or 300 mg IM dose levels, was not associated 
with any treatment-related adverse effects locally or systemically. The no-observed-adverse-
effect-level was considered to be 300 mg/kg IV and 300 mg IM. No antidrug antibody (ADA) 
was detected in any of the monkeys during the treatment phase. During the recovery phase, 
4 of 12 animals treated with nirsevimab and 0 of 6 control animals were ADA positive with 
variable impact on toxicokinetics. In addition, tissue cross-reactivity against cryosections of a 
full panel of adult and a selected panel of juvenile, neonatal, and fetal human tissues showed 
no staining of any tissues, as expected, given the target for nirsevimab is a non-endogenous 
viral-specific target. Overall, data from nonclinical studies do not reveal any 
nirsevimab-related safety concerns.
Details of these studies are included in the current Investigator’s Brochure.

Summary of Clinical Experience
Nirsevimab has been investigated in 3 completed clinical studies (see the current

1.4.1
Phase 1a Study D5290C00001
Study D5290C00001 was a first-time-in-human Phase 1a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-
controlled, dose-escalation study conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and ADA 
of nirsevimab compared to placebo in healthy adult volunteers (Griffin et al, 2017). This study 
was completed in June 2015. A total of 136 subjects were randomized and received a single 
fixed dose of nirsevimab (6 subjects each at doses of 300 mg IV, 1,000 mg IV, 3,000 mg IV, 
100 mg IM, and 78 subjects at 300 mg IM) or placebo (34 subjects). All subjects were 
followed for approximately 360 days after dosing.
Safety
The safety profile of nirsevimab was favorable, with similar proportions of 
treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported in the placebo (61.8%) group and the 
nirsevimab (62.7%) total group. Two treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TESAEs; 
gunshot wound and appendicitis) were reported in 2 nirsevimab subjects. TEAEs judged to be 
related to investigational product were reported in 29.4% of subjects in the placebo group, and 
17.6% of subjects in the nirsevimab total group. The most frequent TEAEs in the nirsevimab 
total group included upper respiratory tract infection (URTI; 18.6%); headache (8.8%); 
urinary tract infection (5.9%); and dermatitis contact, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, and 
vomiting (4.9% each). The most frequently occurring TEAEs in the placebo group were 
headache (17.6%); URTI (8.8%); and nausea, increased blood creatine phosphokinase level, 
and paresthesia (5.9% each). There were no adverse events of special interest (AESIs) or new 
onset chronic diseases (NOCDs). There were no deaths. No safety signals in this healthy adult 
population were observed. These results demonstrated an acceptable safety profile for 
nirsevimab, including no observed hypersensitivity reactions, and supported further clinical 
studies of IM administration of 1 dose of nirsevimab in the target population of infants to 
provide protection for the duration of the RSV season.
Pharmacokinetics
A 2-compartment PK model adequately described the PK profile following both IV and IM 
administrations. Body weight was determined to be a significant covariate on systemic 
clearance and volume of distribution with allometric exponents. The mean population 
clearance and volume of distribution were 42.3 mL/day and 2.8 L, respectively. The mean t1/2
of nirsevimab ranged from 85 to 117 days across dose groups, and bioavailability after IM 
administration was 77%. The predicted 3- to 4-fold increase in the t1/2 of nirsevimab compared 
to a standard IgG antibody was confirmed.
Antidrug Antibody
Post-baseline ADA was detected in 13.7% of subjects in the nirsevimab total group and 
15.2% of subjects in the placebo group, with a maximum titer of 1:800 and 1:400, 
respectively. On Day 361, ADA was detected in 5.3% of nirsevimab subjects and 10.7% of

placebo subjects. The highest titer at Day 361 was 1:200 for both the nirsevimab and placebo 
groups. The presence and titer of ADA had no effect on the PK or safety profiles.
1.4.2
Phase 1b/2a Study D5290C00002
Study D5290C00002 was a Phase 1b/2a, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single 
ascending-dose study to evaluate the safety, PK, and ADA of nirsevimab in healthy preterm 
infants (Domachowske et al, 2018). The population enrolled was healthy preterm infants born 
between 32 weeks 0 days and 34 weeks 6 days gestation who would not receive RSV 
prophylaxis based on the American Academy of Pediatrics or other national or local 
guidelines. These subjects would not be receiving palivizumab, allowing for a placebo 
comparator group. A total of 89 infants from sites in the United States (US), Chile, and South 
Africa were randomized and received a single IM dose of nirsevimab (10, 25, or 50 mg; 8, 31, 
and 32 subjects, respectively) or placebo (18 subjects) and were followed for approximately 
360 days after dosing. 
Safety
A total of 66 subjects (93.0%) in the nirsevimab group and 17 subjects (94.4%) in the placebo 
group reported at least 1 TEAE. No safety signals were observed with ascending dose levels. 
The majority of the events were mild or moderate in severity; only 2 TEAEs were assessed as 
≥ Grade 3 severity, and neither was considered to be related to investigational product by the 
Investigator. There were no deaths, AESIs, or NOCDs in any dose group. 
Three nirsevimab subjects (4.2%) had a total of 5 TESAEs, none of which were considered 
related to investigational product by the Investigator; no subjects in the placebo group had a 
TESAE. One infant who received 25 mg of nirsevimab was hospitalized for LRTI. Real-time 
reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing from the central laboratory 
was negative for RSV (but positive for human metapneumovirus [hMPV]); the illness 
resolved. The same infant was again hospitalized for LRTI, and subsequent RT-PCR testing 
was positive for RSV B; the event resolved. One infant who received 50 mg of nirsevimab 
was hospitalized for febrile convulsion; the infant recovered. A second infant who received 
50 mg of nirsevimab was hospitalized for febrile convulsion and a concurrent LRTI. Testing 
for RSV was not performed, and the infant recovered from both events.
The most frequently reported TEAEs for the nirsevimab group were URTI (69.0%), 
gastroenteritis (29.6%), cough (25.4%), pyrexia (22.5%), and otitis media (21.1%). There 
were no trends by dose of nirsevimab for these events. The most frequently reported TEAEs 
in the placebo group were URTI (66.7%), anemia (33.3%), and gastroenteritis, cough, and 
otitis media (22.2% each). Skin rashes (defined as adverse events [AEs] that coded to the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] preferred terms of dermatitis, 
dermatitis allergic, dermatitis atopic, dermatitis contact, dermatitis diaper, dry skin, eczema,

rash, and rash papular) were reported for 38.9% of subjects in the placebo group and 47.9% of 
subjects in the nirsevimab group. No skin events were consistent with hypersensitivity. 
Pharmacokinetics
Nirsevimab exhibited a less-than-dose-proportional exposure increase between the 10- and 
25-mg doses; however, exposure increase was dose proportional between 25- and 50-mg 
doses. Following a single IM dose of 10, 25, or 50 mg, the estimated t1/2 of nirsevimab ranged 
from 62.5 to 72.9 days. On Day 151, 87% of the nirsevimab serum concentrations following 
the 50-mg IM dose were above the 90% effective concentration threshold of 6.8 μg/mL.
Antidrug Antibody
ADA was not detected in any subject at Day 151. Post-baseline ADA was detected at Day 361 
only in 18/68 (26.5%) subjects, and there were 2 subjects with transient ADA-positive titers at 
Day 50 only who were ADA negative at Day 361. Overall, post-baseline ADA was detected in 
20/71 subjects (28.2%) in the nirsevimab group and 0/17 subjects (0%) in the placebo group. 
None of the post-baseline nirsevimab ADA-positive subjects were ADA positive at baseline; 
only one subject (in the placebo group) was ADA positive at baseline. The highest titer 
detected was 1:25,600 (observed in 2 subjects [2.8%]). The 20 subjects in the nirsevimab 
group who had ADA detected were positive for the presence of ADA targeting the YTE 
substitution and 4 of the 20 subjects with samples available had neutralizing ADA.
There was no impact of the presence of ADA on safety. ADAs did not appear to impact PK 
for 150 days after dosing. Serum anti-RSV neutralizing antibody titers increased 
dose-dependently following administration of nirsevimab and were higher than placebo by 
Day 8 and through Day 151. Serum nirsevimab concentrations were correlated with serum 
anti-RSV neutralizing antibody across all the dose levels, confirming anti-RSV activity of 
nirsevimab.
1.4.3
Phase 2b Study D5290C00003
Study D5290C00003 was a Phase 2b global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 
single-dose study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, PK, and ADA of nirsevimab in healthy 
preterm infants, born between 29 weeks 0 days and 34 weeks 6 days GA, entering their first 
RSV season. Subjects were not eligible for RSV prophylaxis with palivizumab based on the 
Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, American Academy of Pediatrics, or other 
local or national guidelines, allowing for a placebo comparator group. Overall, 1,453 subjects 
were randomized 2:1 to receive a single dose of 50 mg IM nirsevimab or placebo. A total of 
1,447 subjects were dosed, including 968 subjects in the nirsevimab group and 479 subjects in 
the placebo group. Subjects were followed for approximately 360 days after dosing.

Efficacy
Based on the analysis in the Intent-to-treat Population, a single dose of 50 mg IM nirsevimab 
resulted in a 70.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 52.3%, 81.2%; p < 0.0001) relative risk 
reduction (RRR) in the incidence of medically attended RSV-confirmed LRTI through 
Day 151 when compared to placebo. Additionally, a 78.4% (95% CI: 51.9%, 90.3%; 
p = 0.0002) RRR in the incidence of RSV LRTI hospitalization through Day 151 was seen in 
the nirsevimab recipients when compared to placebo. 
Safety
The safety profile of nirsevimab was similar to that of placebo, with no new identified risks. 
Overall, 86.2% of subjects in the nirsevimab group and 86.8% of subjects in the placebo 
group had at least 1 TEAE. TEAEs ≤1 day post dose occurred in 2.5% of subjects in both 
groups. In comparison to the placebo group, the nirsevimab group had a numerically lower 
incidence of TEAEs occurring ≤7 days post dose (nirsevimab 12.5%, placebo 15.2%), 
TEAEs ≥Grade 3 in severity (nirsevimab 8.0%, placebo 12.5%), or TESAEs (nirsevimab 
11.2%, placebo 16.9%). The majority of the TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity. The 
most common TESAEs, based on the nirsevimab group, were bronchiolitis (2.1% nirsevimab, 
4.4% placebo), LRTI (1.4% nirsevimab, 2.7% placebo), bronchitis (1.4% nirsevimab, 
2.3% placebo), and pneumonia (1.3% nirsevimab, 2.1% placebo). None of the TESAEs were 
considered related to investigational product by the Investigator. Five deaths were reported 
during the study through Day 361, including 2 subjects (0.2%) in the nirsevimab group and 
3 subjects (0.6%) in the placebo group. None of the deaths were considered to be related to 
investigational product according to the Investigator.
Overall, the incidence of treatment-related TEAEs (nirsevimab 2.3%, placebo 2.1%); AESIs, 
including hypersensitivity, immune complex disease, and thrombocytopenia (nirsevimab 
0.5%, placebo 0.6%); and NOCDs (nirsevimab 0.4%, placebo 0.8%) was low and generally 
comparable between the placebo and nirsevimab groups. AESIs were reported in 5 subjects 
(4 subjects with rash or rash macular and 1 subject with petechiae) in the nirsevimab group 
and 3 subjects (rash or rash papular) in the placebo group. All events were Grade 1 in severity. 
The TEAE of petechiae that was reported as an AESI was 1 day in duration and was reported 
by the Site Investigator based on description by the parent. There were no laboratory 
assessments for the petechiae.
TEAEs that involved the skin and subcutaneous tissues (including diaper rash) were collected 
as skin reactions, with a few exceptions for skin reactions that could be definitively diagnosed 
such as impetigo, varicella, and scabies. Skin reactions were reported in a similar percentage 
of subjects in both treatment groups (nirsevimab 32.9%, placebo 30.9%).

Pharmacokinetics
Following a single fixed 50-mg IM dose of nirsevimab, 97.8% of measurable Day 151 serum 
concentrations were above the nonclinical 90% effective concentration target of 6.8 μg/mL. 
The mean (% coefficient of variation) area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to 
infinity (AUC0-∞) and estimated apparent t1/2 were 5,176.3 (35.0) day⋅μg/mL and 
59.3 (9.6) days, respectively. 
Antidrug Antibody
Overall, the rate and titers of ADA were low, and in post-baseline ADA-positive subjects 
there was no apparent effect on PK or safety. Of the subjects who had serum samples 
available for testing, ADA was detected post baseline in 5.6% (52/929) of subjects in the 
nirsevimab group and 3.8% (18/469) of subjects in the placebo group. ADA titers ranged from 
1:50 to 1:6,400 in the nirsevimab group and from 1:50 to 1:400 in the placebo group. Of the 
nirsevimab subjects who were post-baseline ADA positive, ADA targeting the YTE domain 
was observed in 4/17 subjects (23.5%) on Day 151 and 23/30 subjects (76.7%) on Day 361. 
Three nirsevimab subjects had NAb on Day 361.
1.5
Rationale for Conducting the Study
Prevention of RSV illnesses in all infants is a major public health priority; however, despite 
more than 50 years of attempted vaccine development, there are no licensed vaccines. While 
RSV prevention exists in the form of a specific RSV IgG (palivizumab) requiring 5 once-
monthly injections, it is licensed only for infants who experience the greatest morbidity and 
mortality from RSV: preterm infants born ≤ 35 weeks GA, children with CLD of prematurity, 
children with hemodynamically significant CHD and, in Japan, children ≤24 months of age 
with immunocompromised conditions and Down syndrome. Nirsevimab is being developed as 
a cost-effective opportunity to protect all infants from RSV disease based on improved 
potency and an extended t1/2, which is expected to support once-per-RSV-season dosing.
The nirsevimab clinical development program includes 2 pivotal studies for infants entering 
their first RSV season: the completed Phase 2b study (D5290C00003) and an ongoing Phase 3 
study (D5290C00004) in healthy late term and term infants. Because of the significant 
advantage of one dose per RSV-season that nirsevimab would provide, the Sponsor recognizes 
the potentially important benefits for the pediatric population receiving palivizumab who must 
receive monthly injections during the RSV-season for protection. A Phase 2/3 study 
(D5290C0005) is currently being conducted in the high-risk palivizumab-eligible population 
entering their first and second RSV seasons. In addition, this Phase 2 study is planned to 
support an indication for a single dose of nirsevimab at the start of the RSV season in 
immunocompromised children who are ≤ 24 months of age. 
Primarily, the PK data in this study will be used to assess whether nirsevimab systemic 
exposure is altered in this population as compared to healthy infants. The effects of immune

status on exposure will be evaluated using population PK methods. Assuming similar 
exposure-response relationship, exposure matching principles will be used to support 
extrapolation of the observed clinical efficacy of nirsevimab from the Phase 2b, and Phase 3 
studies in heathy infants. 
1.6
Benefit-Risk and Ethical Assessment
The study will be performed in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the 
Declaration of Helsinki and are consistent with International Council for Harmonisation 
(ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and applicable regulatory requirements.
To evaluate the clinical benefit-risk balance for nirsevimab, nonclinical and clinical data have 
been taken into consideration. Based on the risk of serious RSV disease in infants and 
high-risk children, there is an established unmet medical need for the use of nirsevimab for 
prophylaxis in all infants entering their first RSV season and in high-risk preterm infants and 
children ≤ 24 months of age with CLD or CHD. Additionally, in Japan, palivizumab is 
approved for use in immunocompromised children ≤ 24 months of age. Children in this study 
(ie, ≤ 24 months of age with an immunocompromised medical condition) who receive 
nirsevimab may potentially benefit by being protected against serious RSV disease. 
Nirsevimab is expected to provide similar efficacy benefits as palivizumab with the advantage 
of requiring a single IM dose instead of the 5 IM doses required for palivizumab.
Nirsevimab has no endogenous targets, and no safety concerns were identified in nonclinical 
studies. The potential risks are based primarily on safety risks that may be observed with any 
immunoglobulin, including mAbs such as palivizumab. These potential risks include, but are 
not limited to, hypersensitivity (including anaphylaxis), immune complex disease, 
thrombocytopenia, and injection site reactions. To date, there have been no observed events of 
anaphylaxis, significant hypersensitivity reactions, immune complex disease, or 
thrombocytopenia attributable to nirsevimab in the clinical studies. Nonetheless, subjects in 
nirsevimab clinical studies will continue to be monitored for important potential risks, and 
routine pharmacovigilance and risk minimization activities will be performed accordingly.
The benefit-risk assessment for nirsevimab in prevention of RSV disease based on the 
development through Phase 2b is favorable.

STUDY DESIGN
3.1
Description of the Study
3.1.1
Overview
Study D5290C00008 is a Phase 2, open-label, uncontrolled single-dose study to assess the 
safety and tolerability, PK, occurrence of ADA, and efficacy of nirsevimab in 
immunocompromised children who are ≤ 24 months of age at the time of dose administration. 
The study is planned to be conducted in South Africa, the US, and the EU, in addition to 
Japan, where the study is currently ongoing. Approximately 100 subjects will be enrolled. 
Approximately 50 subjects entering their first RSV season will receive nirsevimab as a single,
fixed IM dose of 50 mg if body weight < 5 kg or 100 mg if body weight ≥ 5 kg. 
Approximately 50 subjects entering their second RSV season will receive nirsevimab as a 
single, fixed IM dose of 200 mg. Subjects will be followed approximately 1 year after dose 
administration. 
Subjects will be monitored throughout the study for LRTI. All subjects seeking medical 
attention for a respiratory illness (inpatient or outpatient setting) will be evaluated for the 
occurrence of LRTI. All subjects found to have a LRTI and all subjects who require 
hospitalization for a respiratory infection, even if there is not a diagnosis of LRTI, should have 
respiratory samples obtained and respiratory assessment forms completed. Samples should be 
collected for all of these respiratory events, even those not meeting the protocol-defined 
endpoint of LRTI. Subjects who have a primary hospitalization for a respiratory infection (ie,

In addition to the clinical assessment of LRTI, there is a protocol definition using objective 
criteria for the determination of a protocol-defined medically attended LRTI. To meet the 
protocol-defined endpoint of medically attended LRTI, subjects with signs of LRTI must have 
documented at least one physical examination finding of rhonchi, rales, crackles, or wheeze 
AND at least 1 of the following clinical signs:

Increased respiratory rate at rest (age < 2 months, ≥ 60 breaths/min; age 2 to 6 months, 
≥50 breaths/min; age > 6 months, ≥ 40 breaths/min), OR

Hypoxemia (in room air: oxygen saturation < 95% at altitudes ≤ 1,800 meters or < 92% at 
altitudes > 1,800 meters), OR

Clinical signs of severe respiratory disease (eg, acute hypoxic or ventilatory failure, new 
onset apnea, nasal flaring, intercostal, subcostal or supraclavicular retractions, grunting) 
or dehydration secondary to inadequate oral intake due to respiratory distress (need for IV 
fluid).
Testing for RSV will be performed centrally using the US Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA)-cleared and Conformité Européenne or European Conformity-marked in vitro 
diagnostic real-time RT-PCR assay (Lyra RSV + hMPV Assay, Quidel, San Diego, CA; 
www.quidel.com). A diagnosis of RSV LRTI requires having a respiratory sample positive for 
RSV by the central laboratory RT-PCR.

Treatment Regimen
As this is a single-arm study, all subjects will receive nirsevimab. Subjects who are in their 
first year of life AND entering their first RSV season at the time of dose administration will 
receive nirsevimab as a single, fixed IM dose of 50 mg if body weight < 5 kg or 100 mg if 
body weight ≥ 5 kg (n = ~ 50). Subjects in their second year of life AND entering their second 
RSV season at the time of dose administration will receive nirsevimab as a single, fixed IM 
dose of 200 mg (n = ~ 50).

Rationale for Dose, Population, and Endpoints
3.2.1
Dose Rationale
A single fixed 50-mg IM dose was shown to be efficacious in the Phase 2b Study 
D5290C00003 in preterm infants (29 to < 35 weeks GA) in their first RSV season. 
Model-based analyses of the Phase 2b clinical PK and efficacy data identified a projected 
serum AUC0-∞of 13.4 day⋅mg/mL as the protective exposure threshold. The risk of medically 
attended RSV-confirmed LRTI over the course of the RSV season was significantly lower in 
infants with higher projected AUC0-∞. Infants with AUC0-∞above 13.4 day⋅mg/mL had a 
statistically significant higher probability of protection based on exposure-response analysis 
using Cox proportional hazard regression. Although, the fixed 50-mg dose resulted in 
clinically efficacious exposures for 97% of infants weighing < 5 kg in the Phase 2b study, this 
dose was suboptimal for infants weighing ≥ 5 kg in this study. Overall, 3% and 59% of the 
infants in groups weighing < 5 kg and ≥ 5 kg, respectively, were in the lowest AUC0-∞quartile 
(4.5 to 13.4 day⋅mg/mL) that was determined to be suboptimal. Additionally, a cut point 
analysis of the weight-normalized doses of all treated infants revealed that a 10 mg/kg dose 
was the corresponding clinically efficacious and protective threshold dose. Henceforth, based 
on these analyses, a stratified fixed dosing strategy by weight bands is proposed to ensure an 
adequate dose to maintain nirsevimab serum concentrations above the target area under the 
concentration-time curve throughout the RSV season. Based on dose optimization analysis 
designed to maximize the proportion of infants with clinically efficacious nirsevimab serum 
exposure, for infants entering their first RSV season a single fixed 50-mg IM dose is proposed 
for infants with body weight < 5 kg, while a single fixed 100-mg dose is proposed for infants 
weighing ≥ 5 kg. The body weight range for the majority of children entering their second 
RSV season is expected to be approximately 8.5 to 15 kg at the time of dosing. Therefore, 
with the same rationale, a single fixed 200-mg dose of nirsevimab is proposed for subjects 
entering their second RSV season to achieve and maintain efficacious exposure during the 
entire second RSV season. There have been no reports that IgG1 kappa mAb compounds 
show obvious ethnic differences. 
3.2.2
Rationale for Study Population
Children with immunodeficiencies are at increased risk for severe RSV disease, leading to 
prolonged hospitalizations, admission to the ICU, and mechanical ventilation (Manzoni et al, 
2017; Welliver, 2003). Currently, there is no specific treatment for RSV infection. In Japan, 
palivizumab is approved for the prevention of RSV infection in children with 
immunocompromised conditions. Palivizumab has been found to be generally safe and 
effective in this population (Kashiwagi et al, 2018; Mori et al, 2014), but because of its t1/2 of 
approximately 1 month, infants and young children need to receive monthly IM doses of 
palivizumab throughout the RSV-season to maintain protection.

Template 18.0
Nirsevimab has the potential to provide significant improvement over palivizumab based on 
its demonstrated increased potency and extended t1/2. Because of the significant advantage of 
one dose per RSV season that nirsevimab would provide, the Sponsor recognizes the 
potentially important benefits for the current pediatric population receiving palivizumab. This 
Phase 2 study is planned to evaluate the safety and tolerability, PK, ADA, and efficacy of 
nirsevimab in immunocompromised children ≤ 24 months of age.
3.2.3
Rationale for Endpoints
Nirsevimab is being developed to provide RSV immunoprophylaxis for all infants and young 
children, including immunocompromised children ≤ 24 months of age. The primary endpoint 
for this study is safety and tolerability. The standard measures of TEAEs/TESAEs, AESIs, 
and NOCDs will be used for this assessment. All subjects will be followed for approximately 
1 year after dosing with nirsevimab. 
Serum concentrations of nirsevimab at selected time points will be evaluated as a secondary 
endpoint to confirm that serum concentrations are maintained at an efficacious level for at 
least 5 months after dosing. PK data will be summarized by descriptive statistics. PK data 
obtained in this study will be compared to the PK data from the Phase 2b, Phase 3, and the 
Phase 2/3 studies. For infants and children who require hospitalization for LRTI or any 
respiratory infection, an additional serum sample for measurement of nirsevimab 
concentration and ADA will be obtained contemporaneous with time of hospitalization. 
To determine nirsevimab serum levels post dosing and to correlate with the potential 
development of ADA, serum concentrations will be measured up to 360 days post dose. ADA 
to nirsevimab will be measured at selected time points throughout the study and up to 
360 days post dose.
This study will also summarize efficacy of nirsevimab in terms of incidence of RSV LRTI. 
RSV results in a significant burden of disease consisting of hospitalization, visits to the ER, 
and visits to outpatient clinics. This endpoint is designed to allow the capture of this total 
burden of disease. A separate endpoint of RSV hospitalization will also be evaluated. 
Exploratory endpoints will examine

Lower Respiratory Tract Infection
Subjects will be monitored throughout the study for LRTI (see Table 5). All subjects seeking 
medical attention for a respiratory illness (in either the inpatient or outpatient setting) will be 
evaluated for the occurrence of LRTI (Table 6). All subjects found to have an LRTI and all 
subjects who require hospitalization for a respiratory infection, even if there is not a diagnosis 
of LRTI, should have respiratory samples obtained and respiratory assessment forms 
completed. Samples should be collected for all of these respiratory events, even those not 
meeting the protocol definition of LRTI. Subjects who have a primary hospitalization for a 
respiratory infection (ie, upper or lower tract) or a respiratory deterioration during a 
hospitalization, or who seek outpatient medical attention (including ER visits) for a lower 
respiratory illness, will be assessed clinically for the presence of LRTI and for RSV by central 
laboratory diagnostic testing of respiratory secretions. Testing for RSV will be performed 
centrally using the US FDA-cleared and Conformité Européenne or European 
Conformity-marked in vitro diagnostic real-time RT-PCR assay (Lyra RSV + hMPV assay, 
Quidel Corporation, San Diego, CA). A diagnosis of RSV LRTI requires having a respiratory 
sample positive for RSV by the central laboratory RT-PCR.
In addition to the clinical assessment of LRTI, there is a protocol definition using objective 
criteria for the determination of protocol-defined medically attended LRTI. To meet the 
protocol-defined endpoint of medically attended LRTI, subjects with signs of LRTI must have 
documented at least one physical examination finding of rhonchi, rales, crackles, or wheeze 
AND at least one of the following clinical signs:
•
Increased respiratory rate at rest (age: < 2 months, ≥ 60 breaths/min; 2 to 6 months, 
≥50 breaths/min; > 6 months, ≥40 breaths/min), OR
•
Hypoxemia (in room air: oxygen saturation < 95% at altitudes ≤ 1,800 meters or < 92% at 
altitudes > 1,800 meters), OR
•
Clinical signs of severe respiratory disease (eg, acute hypoxic or ventilatory failure, new 
onset apnea, nasal flaring, intercostal, subcostal or supraclavicular retractions, grunting) or 
dehydration secondary to inadequate oral intake due to respiratory distress (need for IV 
fluid).

RSV Hospitalization
An RSV hospitalization is defined as either (1) a respiratory hospitalization with a positive 
RSV test within approximately 2 days of hospital admission (primary) or (2) a new onset of 
respiratory symptoms in an already hospitalized subject, with an objective measure of 
worsening respiratory status and positive RSV test (nosocomial). Primary and nosocomial 
RSV hospitalization are further defined below. 
Primary RSV Hospitalization
RSV diagnostic testing will be performed on respiratory secretions obtained within 
approximately 2 days before or after admission for subjects hospitalized for respiratory 
infection (upper or lower respiratory tract). If the RSV diagnostic test (performed centrally via 
RT-PCR) is positive, the hospitalization will be classified as a primary RSV hospitalization. 
Deaths that can be demonstrated as caused by RSV (by autopsy or clinical history and 
virologic evidence) will also be considered as primary RSV hospitalization endpoints.
Nosocomial RSV Hospitalization
Subjects hospitalized for a respiratory illness or non-respiratory illness whose RSV diagnostic 
test is negative may develop nosocomial RSV illness during the study.
If signs (such as retractions, rhonchi, wheezing, crackles, or rales) of a new lower respiratory 
illness occur during a hospitalization, whatever the reason for hospitalization, and there is an 
objective measure of worsening respiratory status (that is, new requirement for supplemental 
oxygen, increase in supplemental oxygen requirement from prior to the onset of symptoms, or 
need for new or additional mechanical ventilation), a specimen will be collected within 
approximately 2 days from worsening of respiratory status for RSV diagnostic testing by the

central laboratory. For any subject who is hospitalized for a respiratory infection (upper or 
lower respiratory tract), the subject must return to his/her baseline respiratory status or be 
clearly resolving the preceding respiratory illness before a subsequent respiratory deterioration 
for a nosocomial RSV hospitalization event can be determined.
If the RSV diagnostic test (performed centrally via RT-PCR) is positive, the subsequent 
hospital days will count as a nosocomial RSV hospitalization. The days of RSV 
hospitalization will be counted beginning with the start of the respiratory deterioration that 
resulted in the RSV diagnostic test.
RSV LRTI Outpatient Events
Subjects who seek outpatient medical attention, including ER and urgent care visits, for an 
LRTI should have respiratory secretions obtained within approximately 2 days after the initial 
healthcare provider assessment.
Respiratory Secretions for RSV Detection 
Respiratory secretions for RSV testing must be collected from all subjects with LRTIs 
(inpatient or outpatient) and from all hospitalized subjects with any new respiratory infection 
(upper or lower) within approximately 2 days after the initial healthcare provider assessment 
and diagnosis. Nasal secretions will be obtained unless the subject is intubated, and then 
tracheal secretions may be obtained.
Respiratory secretions will be tested in a central laboratory for RSV using the US FDA-
cleared and Conformité Européenne or European Conformity-marked in vitro diagnostic real-
time RT-PCR assay (Lyra RSV + hMPV assay; Quidel Corporation, San Diego, CA). Testing 
may include other respiratory pathogens.
The respiratory samples will be retained at AstraZeneca or designee for a maximum of 15

Statistical Evaluation
4.8.1
General Considerations
There are 2 planned analyses for this study: an interim analysis and a final analysis. The 
interim analysis will be conducted when subjects enrolled globally by end of 2021 have been 
followed through Day 151. For the interim analysis, all safety, PK, ADA, and efficacy data 
collected for subjects enrolled globally in 2021 will be analyzed. A minimum of 
approximately of 30 subjects is expected to be sufficient in establishing a PK profile for 
efficacy and safety extrapolation at the time of the interim analysis. The final analysis will be 
conducted after all subjects have completed the last visit of the study (ie, Day 361).
Categorical data will be summarized by the number and percentage of subjects in each 
category. Continuous variables will be summarized by mean, median, standard deviation, 
minimum, and maximum. In general, unless stated otherwise, baseline will be defined as the 
last non-missing value prior to dosing. 
Data will be summarized for the overall study population, as well as for Japan only.
Data analyses will be conducted using the SAS® System Version 9.4 or higher (SAS Institute 
Inc., Cary, NC) in a SAS GRID environment.

Sample Size
A total of approximately 100 subjects are planned to receive a single IM dose of nirsevimab to 
evaluate the safety, PK, ADA, and efficacy, which will be assessed descriptively. The 
originally proposed sample size was based on a similarly designed palivizumab study in a 
similar population (Mori et al, 2014), and it is expected to be sufficient in establishing a PK 
profile that allows extrapolation of efficacy and safety data from the Phase 2b (D5290C00003) 
and 
 studies in healthy preterm and term infants to the target 
immunocompromised population. The updated sample size of 100 allows for the collection of 
PK and safety data from a larger cohort of immunocompromised children. The revised sample 
size of 100 subjects allows for the study of immunocompromised children and the various 
causes for this condition globally. Further, the data from this study will support the evaluation 
of safety in a diverse population, which could potentially facilitate the examination of 
subpopulations.
 
4.8.3
Safety
AEs will be graded according to the current version of the NCI CTCAE (or Appendix A) 
where applicable for pediatric assessments. AEs will be coded by MedDRA and the type, 
incidence, severity, and relationship to study drug will be summarized. Other safety 
assessments will include the occurrence of AESIs defined as AEs of immediate
hypersensitivity (including anaphylaxis), thrombocytopenia, and immune complex disease 
(eg, vasculitis, endocarditis, neuritis, glomerulonephritis) following study drug administration, 
and the occurrence of NOCDs following study drug administration.
4.8.4
Analysis of Pharmacokinetics
Serum concentrations of nirsevimab at selected time points will be evaluated to confirm that 
adequate exposures for protection from RSV LRTI are maintained for at least 5 months after 
dosing. Nirsevimab serum concentration data will be presented in descriptive statistics. 
4.8.5
Analysis of Antidrug Antibody
The incidence of ADA to nirsevimab will be assessed and summarized by number and 
percentage of subjects who are ADA positive. The impact of ADA on PK, and the association 
with TEAEs and TESAEs, will be assessed, if data permit.

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY
5.1
Definition of Adverse Events
An AE is the development of any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical study 
subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign 
(eg, an abnormal laboratory finding if judged by the Investigator as medically significant), 
symptom (eg, nausea, chest pain), or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
The term AE is used to include both serious and nonserious AEs and can include a 
deterioration of a pre-existing medical occurrence. An AE may occur at any time, including 
run-in or washout periods, even if no investigational product has been administered. 
Elective treatment or surgery or preplanned treatment or surgery (that was scheduled prior to 
the subject being enrolled into the study) for a documented pre-existing condition that did not 
worsen from baseline is not considered an AE (serious or nonserious). An untoward medical 
event occurring during the prescheduled elective procedure or routinely scheduled treatment 
should be recorded as an AE or SAE.
5.2
Definition of Serious Adverse Events
An SAE is any AE that:

Results in death

Is immediately life-threatening

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 

Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in offspring of the subject

Is an important medical event that may jeopardize the subject or may require medical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above
Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
appropriate in this situation. Examples of medically important events are intensive treatment

in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions 
that do not result in hospitalizations; or development of drug dependency or drug abuse.
5.3
Definition of Adverse Events of Special Interest
An AESI is one of scientific and medical interest specific to understanding of the 
investigational product and may require close monitoring and rapid communication by the 
Investigator to the Sponsor. An AESI may be serious or nonserious. The rapid reporting of 
AESIs allows ongoing surveillance of these events in order to characterize and understand 
them in association with the use of this investigational product.
5.3.1
Serious Hypersensitivity (Including Anaphylaxis and Immune Complex 
Disease)
5.3.1.1
Immediate Hypersensitivity, Including Anaphylaxis
Administration of polyclonal immunoglobulin preparations and mAbs has been associated 
with immediate (type I) hypersensitivity (including anaphylaxis) that occurs during or after 
dosing. An immediate hypersensitivity reaction is defined as an acute onset of an illness with 
involvement of the skin, mucosal tissue, or both that occurs during or after administration of 
investigational product (but does not meet the definition of anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis is a rare 
event, usually occurring after subsequent exposure to antigen, and it is most commonly 
accompanied by severe systemic skin and/or mucosal reactions. It is potentially a fatal, 
systemic allergic reaction that is distinct from simple allergic reactions (eg, rash, pruritus) 
because of the simultaneous involvement of several organ systems (Sampson et al, 2006). A 
full definition of anaphylaxis is provided in Appendix B. See Section 5.5 for recording AEs.
5.3.1.2
Immune Complex Disease
Immune complex disease can manifest in the form of a number of conditions such as 
vasculitis, endocarditis, neuritis, glomerulonephritis, serum sickness, and arthralgias. 
Drug-induced immune complex (type III) hypersensitivity reactions can occur when the host 
immune system generates antibodies to drug resulting in soluble circulating antigen-antibody 
complexes formation and their deposition in blood vessels. Subsequently this initiates tissue 
damaging inflammatory reactions mediated by complement and/or leukocytes and mast cells. 
The pathology and clinical manifestations are dependent on the tissues/organs involved, with 
vascular, skin, and renal tissues being common sites of injury. Common examples of immune
complex hypersensitivity reactions are serum sickness (systemic) and Arthus reactions (local). 
The clinical manifestations of serum sickness include skin rash, fever, malaise, and 
polyarthralgias or polyarthritis. Symptoms typically develop 1 to 2 weeks after first exposure 
to antigen and usually resolve in several weeks after withdrawal of the causative agent. Serum 
sickness needs to be differentiated from other ‘serum-sickness-like’ reactions that have a 
similar clinical presentation (eg, viral infections, anti-seizure drugs), but are believed to have 
different pathogenic mechanisms. Both serum sickness and serum sickness-like reactions have

been reported with mAbs (eg, rituximab, infliximab). Clinical presentation and time to onset 
should be considered for the diagnosis and differentiation of these reactions. Diagnosis of 
these suspected reactions is best confirmed via biopsy of the affected tissues. See Section 5.5
for recording AEs. 
5.3.2
Thrombocytopenia
Thrombocytopenia is a disorder in which there is an abnormally low platelet count; a normal 
platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per μL. The 3 major causes of low 
platelet counts include: 1) insufficient platelet synthesis in the bone marrow; 2) increased 
breakdown of platelets in the bloodstream; and 3) increased breakdown of platelets in the 
spleen or liver. General symptoms of thrombocytopenia include bleeding in the mouth and 
gums, bruising, nosebleeds, and petechiae (pinpoint red spots/rash). Severe bleeding is the 
major complication, which may occur in the brain or gastrointestinal tract. Drug-induced 
thrombocytopenia is a reversible form of thrombocytopenia that should be suspected in a 
subject who presents with new onset thrombocytopenia or recurrent episodes of acute 
thrombocytopenia, without an obvious alternative etiology. It is commonly induced by 
drug-dependent antibodies that cause platelet destruction or clearance by the
reticuloendothelial system (drug-induced immune thrombocytopenia), and less commonly by 
drug-induced bone marrow suppression or autoimmune thrombocytopenia that is initiated by 
exposure to the offending drug but persists in its absence. The initial approach to the subject 
with suspected drug-induced thrombocytopenia involves confirming thrombocytopenia, 
establishing a temporal relationship to a drug, and eliminating other causes of 
thrombocytopenia. The diagnosis is made clinically by documenting prompt resolution of 
thrombocytopenia after discontinuation of the suspected drug (typically within 1 week). Most 
subjects with drug-induced thrombocytopenia require no specific treatment, as their platelet 
counts will recover promptly following withdrawal of the causative agent. See Section 5.5 for 
recording AEs.
5.4
Definition of New Onset Chronic Disease
An NOCD is a newly diagnosed medical condition that is of a chronic, ongoing nature. It is 
observed after receiving the investigational product and is assessed by the Investigator as 
medically significant. Examples of NOCDs include, but are not limited, to diabetes, 
autoimmune disease (eg, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis), and neurological disease (eg, epilepsy). 
Events that would not be considered as NOCDs are mild eczema, diagnosis of a congenital 
anomaly present at study entry, or acute illness (eg, upper respiratory infection, otitis media, 
bronchitis). See Section 5.5 for recording AEs.
5.5
Recording of Adverse Events
AEs, including SAEs, AESIs, and NOCDs, will be recorded on the eCRF using a recognized 
medical term or diagnosis that accurately reflects the event. These events will be assessed by

the Investigator for severity, relationship to the investigational product and study procedure(s), 
possible etiologies, and whether the event meets criteria of an SAE (see Sections 5.2 and 5.6), 
or is an AESI or NOCD (see Sections 5.3, 5.4, and 5.7) and therefore requires immediate 
notification to the Sponsor. See Appendix A for guidelines for assessment of severity and 
relationship to investigational product. 
If an AE evolves into a condition that meets the regulatory definition of “serious,” it will be 
reported on the AE form in the eCRF as an SAE.
5.5.1
Time Period for Collection of Adverse Events
AEs and SAEs will be collected from the time of signature of informed consent through 
Day 361.
AESIs and NOCDs will be collected from the time of dosing through Day 361.
5.5.2
Follow-up of Unresolved Adverse Events
Any AE that is unresolved at the subject’s last visit will be followed up by the Investigator for 
as long as medically indicated, but without further recording in the eCRF. The Sponsor retains 
the right to request additional information for any subject with ongoing AE(s)/SAE(s) at the 
end of the study, if judged necessary.
5.5.3
Deaths
All deaths that occur during the study, including the protocol-defined follow-up period, must 
be reported as SAEs. A post-mortem (autopsy) may be helpful in the assessment of the cause 
of death and, if performed, a copy of the post-mortem results should be forwarded to the 
Sponsor representative(s) within the usual timeframes (refer to Section 5.6 for additional 
information).
5.5.4
Potential Hy’s Law and Hy’s Law
Cases where a subject shows elevations in liver biochemistry may require further evaluation 
and occurrences of aspartate aminotranserase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase 
(ALT) ≥3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) together with total bilirubin (TBL) ≥2 × ULN may 
need to be reported as SAEs. Please refer to Appendix C for further instruction on cases of 
increases in liver biochemistry and evaluation of Hy’s Law.
5.6
Reporting of Serious Adverse Events
Prompt notification of an SAE by the Investigator to the Sponsor is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety of a 
study intervention under clinical investigation 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 intervention under clinical investigation. The 
Sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements relating to safety reporting 
to the regulatory authority, IRBs/IECs, head of the medical institution, and Investigators. 
For all studies except those utilizing medical devices, Investigator safety reports must be 
prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSAR) according to local 
regulatory requirements and Sponsor policy and forwarded to the head of the medical 
institution and 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 Sponsor will review and then 
file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and/or will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.
All SAEs must be reported, whether or not considered causally related to the investigational 
product or to the study procedure(s). All SAEs will be recorded in the eCRF.
If any SAE occurs in the course of the study, then Investigators or other site personnel must 
inform the appropriate Sponsor representative(s) within 1 day, ie, immediately but no later 
than 24 hours after becoming aware of the event.
The designated study representative works with the Investigator to ensure that all the 
necessary information is provided to the Sponsor’s Patient Safety data entry site within 
1 calendar day of initial receipt for fatal and life-threatening events and within 5 calendar days 
of initial receipt for all other SAEs.
For fatal or life-threatening AEs where important or relevant information is missing, active 
follow-up is undertaken immediately. Investigators or other site personnel inform Sponsor 
representatives of any follow-up information on a previously reported SAE within 1 calendar 
day, ie, immediately but no later than 24 hours after becoming aware of the event.
Once the Investigators or other site personnel indicate an AE is serious in the electronic data 
capture (EDC) system, an automated email alert is sent to inform the designated Sponsor 
representative(s).
If the EDC system is not available, then the Investigator or other study site personnel contacts 
the Sponsor representative by telephone. The Sponsor representative will give guidance on 
how to proceed.

Other Events Requiring Immediate Reporting
5.7.1
Overdose
An overdose is defined as a subject receiving a dose of investigational product in excess of 
that specified in the Investigator’s Brochure, unless otherwise specified in this protocol.

An overdose with associated AEs is recorded as the AE diagnosis/symptoms on the 
relevant AE modules in the eCRF and on the Overdose eCRF module.

An overdose without associated symptoms is only reported on the Overdose eCRF 
module.
If an overdose on a Sponsor investigational product occurs during the study, then the 
Investigator or other site personnel should inform appropriate Sponsor representatives 
immediately, but no later than 24 hours after becoming aware of the event.
The designated Sponsor representative works with the Investigator to ensure that all relevant 
information is provided to the Sponsor’s Patient Safety data entry site.
For overdoses associated with an SAE, the standard reporting timelines apply; see Section 5.6. 
For other overdoses (ie, those not associated with an AE or SAE), reporting must occur within 
30 days.
5.7.2
Medication Error
For the purposes of this clinical study, a medication error is an unintended failure or mistake 
in the treatment process for a Sponsor investigational product that either causes harm to the 
subject or has the potential to cause harm to the subject. 
A medication error is not lack of efficacy of the drug, but rather a human- or process-related 
failure while the drug is in control of the study site staff or subject.
Medication error includes situations where an error: 

Occurred

Was identified and intercepted before the subject received the drug

Did not occur, but circumstances were recognized that could have led to an error
Examples of events to be reported in clinical studies as medication errors:

Dispensing error, eg, medication prepared incorrectly, even if it was not actually given to 
the subject

Drug not administered as indicated, eg, wrong route or wrong site of administration


Drug not stored as instructed, eg, kept in the refrigerator when it should be at room 
temperature 

Wrong subject received the medication 

Wrong drug administered to subject 
Examples of events that do not require reporting as medication errors in clinical studies:

Accidental overdose (will be captured as an overdose)
Medication errors are not regarded as AEs, but AEs may occur as a consequence of the 
medication error.  
If a medication error occurs in the course of the study, then the Investigator or other site 
personnel informs the appropriate Sponsor representatives within 1 day, ie, immediately but 
no later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of it.
The designated Sponsor representative works with the Investigator to ensure that all relevant 
information is completed within 1 or 5 calendar days if there is an SAE associated with the 
medication error (see Section 5.6) and within 30 days for all other medication errors. 
Medication errors should be reported using a Medication Error Report Form.
5.7.3
Adverse Events of Special Interest 
5.7.3.1
Immediate Hypersensitivity, Including Anaphylaxis
Events of immediate (Type 1) hypersensitivity, including anaphylaxis (as defined in 
Appendix B), require that the Investigator or other site personnel inform appropriate Sponsor 
study representatives immediately, or no later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes 
aware of the event. The designated Sponsor study representative works with the Investigator 
to ensure that all relevant information is provided and entered in EDC. If the event is 
considered serious, it must be reported as an SAE (see Section 5.6).
Signs of immediate hypersensitivity include urticaria, pruritus, angioedema, skin rash, 
difficulty breathing, and wheezing. Parent(s)/legal representatives will be provided a card with 
this information to aid in prompt identification and reporting of these signs. Parent(s)/legal 
representatives will be instructed to immediately report the occurrence of any of these findings 
to the Site Investigator who should then report the events to appropriate Sponsor study 
representatives immediately, or no later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of 
the event.
5.7.3.2
Immune Complex Disease
Events of immune complex disease (as defined in Section 5.3.1.2) require that the Investigator 
or other site personnel inform appropriate Sponsor study representatives immediately, or no

later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of the event. The designated Sponsor 
study representative works with the Investigator to ensure that all relevant information is 
provided and entered into EDC. If the event is considered serious, it must be reported as an 
SAE (see Section 5.6).
5.7.3.3
Thrombocytopenia
Events of unexpected thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 120,000 per µL) that the 
Investigator judges to be both clinically significant and of unknown etiology require the 
Investigator or other site personnel to inform appropriate Sponsor study representatives 
immediately, or no later than 24 hours of when he or she becomes aware of the event. The 
designated Sponsor study representative works with the Investigator to ensure that all relevant 
information is provided and entered into EDC. If the event is considered serious, it must be 
reported as an SAE (see Section 5.6).
5.7.4
New Onset Chronic Disease
If a case of NOCD occurs in the course of this study, the Investigator or other site personnel 
must inform appropriate Sponsor representatives immediately, or no later than 24 hours of 
when he or she becomes aware of it. The designated Sponsor study representative works with 
the Investigator to ensure that all relevant information is provided and entered into EDC. If the 
event is considered serious, it must be reported as an SAE (see Section 5.6).

STUDY AND DATA MANAGEMENT
6.1
Training of Study Site Personnel
Before the first subject is entered into the study, a Sponsor representative will review and 
discuss the requirements of the protocol and related documents with the investigational staff 
and also train them in any study-specific procedures and system(s) utilized.
The Principal Investigator will ensure that appropriate training relevant to the study is given to 
all of these staff, and that any new information relevant to the performance of this study is 
forwarded to the staff involved.
The Principal Investigator will maintain a record of all individuals involved in the study 
(medical, nursing, and other staff).
6.2
Monitoring of the Study
During the study, a Sponsor representative will have regular contacts with the study site, 
including visits to:

Provide information and support to the Investigator(s)

Confirm that facilities remain acceptable


Confirm that the investigational team is adhering to the protocol, that data are being 
accurately and timely recorded in the eCRFs, that biological samples are handled in 
accordance with the Laboratory Manual and that investigational product accountability 
checks are being performed

Perform source data verification (a comparison of the data in the eCRFs with the subject’s 
medical records at the hospital or practice, and other records relevant to the study),
including verification of informed consent of participating subjects. This will require 
direct access to all original records for each subject (eg, clinic charts)
The Sponsor representative will be available between visits if the Investigator(s) or other staff 
at the site needs information and advice about the study conduct.
6.2.1
Source Data
Refer to the Clinical Study Agreement for location of source data.
Direct Access to Source Data 
The head of the study site and the Principal Investigator/Investigator will cooperate for 
monitoring and auditing by the Sponsor (or designee) and accept inspection by the IRB/IEC or 
regulatory authorities. All study documents such as raw data will be open for direct access to 
source data at the request of the monitor and the auditor of the Sponsor (or designee), the IRB, 
or regulatory authorities.
The monitor(s) will verify data from the eCRFs against source data before the Principal 
Investigator signs the eCRFs to ensure accuracy and completeness of documentation and 
assure that the Principal Investigator has submitted the eCRFs to the Sponsor. If the 
Investigator wishes to amend the collected eCRFs, the monitor will ensure that the Principal 
Investigator has recorded the amendment with signature and date and provided this to the 
Sponsor.
6.2.2
Study Agreements
The Principal Investigator at the site should comply with all the terms, conditions, and 
obligations of the Clinical Study Agreement, or equivalent, for this study. In the event of any 
inconsistency between this protocol and the Clinical Study Agreement, the terms of protocol 
shall prevail with respect to the conduct of the study and the treatment of subjects and in all 
other respects, not relating to study conduct or treatment of subjects, the terms of the Clinical 
Study Agreement shall prevail.
Agreements between the Sponsor and the Principal Investigator must be in place before any 
study-related procedures can take place, or subjects are enrolled.

6.2.3
Archiving of Study Documents
The Investigator follows the principles outlined in the Clinical Study Agreement.
Document File and Period of Retention 
All study documents (including letters from the Sponsor) should be retained in the study 
document file by the Principal Investigator. The monitor will regularly check the file to ensure 
that all relevant documents are retained. The contents of the file may be audited/inspected by 
the Sponsor’s auditor, regulatory authorities, or IRB/IEC.
Period of Record Retention 
The study site (and the Principal Investigator) will retain the essential documents as specified 
by GCP (eg, source document such as medical records, contract, signed informed consent
form). Essential documents should be retained at the study site for 15 years in principle 
following completion of the study, or per regulatory obligations if longer, and thereafter 
destroyed only after agreement with the Sponsor. However, this is not always applied to those 
that are not preservable such as blood samples. In the event of any inconsistency between the 
above-mentioned contents and the contract with the study site, the contract shall prevail. 
These documents should be retained for a longer period, however, if needed by the Sponsor, 
and the specific period and method of retention will be separately discussed between the study 
site and the Sponsor (or designee). The Sponsor should notify the head of the study site in 
writing when the study-related records are no longer needed. The records must be managed by 
a responsible person appointed by the head of the study site.
6.3
Study Timetable and End of Study
An individual subject will be considered to have completed the study if the subject was 
followed through their last protocol-specified visit/assessment. 
Subjects will be considered not to have completed the study if consent was withdrawn or the 
subject was lost to follow-up (see Sections 4.1.5 and 4.1.6).
The end of the study (“study completion”) is defined as the date of the last protocol-specified 
visit/assessment for the last subject in the study.
6.4
Data Management 
Data management will be performed by the Sponsor’s Data Management staff or other party
according to the Data Management Plan.
An EDC system will be used for data collection and query handling. The Investigator will 
ensure that data are recorded in the eCRFs as specified in the study protocol and in accordance 
with the eCRF instructions provided.

The Investigator ensures the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the data recorded and 
of the provision of answers to data queries according to the Clinical Study Agreement. The 
Investigator will sign the completed eCRFs. A copy of the completed eCRFs will be archived 
at the study site.
6.5
Medical Monitor Coverage
Each subject will be provided with contact information of the Principal Investigator. In 
addition, each subject will receive a toll-free number intended to provide the subject’s 
physician access to a medical monitor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the event of an 
emergent situation where the subject’s health is deemed to be at risk. In this situation, when a 
subject presents to a medical facility where the treating physician or healthcare provider 
requires access to a physician who has knowledge of the investigational product and the 
clinical study protocol and the Principal Investigator is not available, the treating physician or 
health care provider can contact a medical monitor through this system, which is managed by 
a third party vendor.

ETHICAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
7.1
Ethical Conduct of the Study
The study will be conducted in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki, the clinical study 
protocol, ICH/GCP, and any local standard. 
7.2
Subject Data Protection
Each subject will be assigned a SID to ensure that personally identifiable information is kept 
separate from the study data. Subject data that are relevant to the trial, eg, demographic 
information, physical or mental health condition, diagnosis, comorbidities, laboratory test 
results, etc will only be collected with the subject’s informed consent. The informed consent 
form will incorporate (or, in some cases, be accompanied by a separate document 
incorporating) wording that describes how subject data will be collected, used, and distributed 
in compliance with relevant data protection and privacy legislation. 
7.3
Ethics and Regulatory Review
The IRB/IEC responsible for the site must review and approve the final study protocol, 
including the final version of the informed consent form and any other written information 
and/or materials to be provided to the subjects. The IRB/IEC must also approve all advertising 
used to recruit subjects for the study. The head of the medical institution is responsible for 
submitting these documents to the applicable IRB/IEC and distributing them to the study site 
staff.

Template 18.0
The opinion of the IRB/IEC must be given in writing. The head of the medical institution must 
provide a copy of the written approval to the Sponsor before enrollment of any subject into the 
study. 
The Sponsor should approve any substantive modifications to the informed consent form that 
are needed to meet local requirements.
If required by local regulations, the protocol must be re-approved by the IRB/IEC annually.
Before the study is initiated, the Sponsor will ensure that the national regulatory authority in 
the respective country has been notified and their approval has been obtained, as required. The 
Sponsor will provide safety updates/reports according to local requirements, including 
SUSARs where relevant, to regulatory authorities, IRB/IEC, and Principal Investigators.
The Principal Investigator is responsible for providing reports of any serious and unexpected 
adverse drug reactions from any other study conducted with the investigational product to the 
IRB/IEC via the head of the medical institution. The Sponsor will provide this information to 
the Investigator so that he/she can meet these reporting requirements. The head of study site is 
responsible for providing the report and on keeping the IRB apprised of the progress of the 
study and of any changes made to the protocol but, in any case, at least once a year.
7.4
Informed Consent
Informed consent of each subject will be obtained through a written and verbal explanation 
process that addresses all elements required by ICH/GCP. The Sponsor will develop a core 
informed consent form for use by all Investigators in the clinical study. The Sponsor must 
approve any modifications to the informed consent form that are needed to meet local 
requirements.
The Principal Investigator(s) at the site will:

Ensure each subject’s legal guardian is given full and adequate oral and written 
information about the nature, purpose, possible risk, and benefit of the study

Ensure each subject’s legal guardian is notified that they are free to discontinue from the 
study at any time

Ensure that each subject’s legal guardian is given the opportunity to ask questions and 
allowed time to consider the information provided

Ensure each subject’s legal guardian provides signed and dated informed consent before 
conducting any procedure specifically for the study

Ensure the original, signed informed consent form(s) is/are stored in the Investigator’s 
Study File

Ensure a copy of the signed informed consent form is given to the subject’s legal guardian

Ensure that any incentives for subjects and/or their legal guardians who participate in the 
study, as well as any provisions for subjects harmed as a consequence of study 
participation, are described in the informed consent form that is approved by an IRB/IEC
7.5
Changes to the Protocol and Informed Consent Form
Study procedures will not be changed without the mutual agreement of the Investigators and 
the Sponsor. Any changes must be documented in a study protocol amendment. 
For a substantial change to the protocol, the Sponsor will distribute amended versions of the 
protocol to the Principal Investigator(s). Before implementation, amended protocols must be 
approved by relevant IRB/IEC (see Section 7.3) and reviewed as per local regulatory authority 
requirements. The IRB/IEC must also approve revisions to the informed consent form, 
advertising, and any other written information and/or materials resulting from the change to 
the protocol.
Any non-substantial changes will be communicated to or approved by the IRB/IEC.
7.6
Audits and Inspections
Authorized representatives of the Sponsor, a regulatory authority, or an IRB/IEC may perform 
audits or inspections at the center, including source data verification. The purpose of an audit 
or inspection is to systematically and independently examine all study-related activities and 
documents, to determine whether these activities were conducted, and data were recorded, 
analyzed, and accurately reported according to the protocol, GCP, guidelines of the ICH, and 
any applicable regulatory requirements. The Investigator will contact the Sponsor immediately 
if contacted by a regulatory agency about an inspection at the site.

Appendix A
Additional Safety Guidance
Further Guidance on the Definition of a Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Life threatening
‘Life-threatening’ means that the subject was at immediate risk of death from an adverse event 
(AE) as it occurred, or it is suspected that use or continued use of the product would result in 
the subject’s death. ‘Life-threatening’ does not mean that had an AE occurred in a more 
severe form, it might have caused death (eg, hepatitis that resolved without hepatic failure).
Hospitalization
Outpatient treatment in an emergency room is not in itself a serious AE, although the reasons 
for it may be (eg, bronchospasm, laryngeal edema). Hospital admissions and/or surgical 
operations planned before or during a study are not considered AEs if the illness or disease 
existed before the subject was enrolled in the study, provided that it did not deteriorate in an 
unexpected way during the study.
Important Medical Event or Medical Intervention
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether a case is serious in 
situations where important medical events may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death, hospitalization, disability, or incapacity but may jeopardize the subject or may require 
medical intervention to prevent one or more outcomes listed in the definition of serious. These 
should usually be considered as serious.
Simply stopping the suspect drug does not mean that it is an important medical event; medical 
judgment must be used.
Examples of such events are:

Angioedema not severe enough to require intubation but requiring intravenous 
hydrocortisone treatment

Hepatotoxicity caused by paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose requiring treatment with 
N-acetylcysteine

Intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm

Blood dyscrasias (eg, neutropenia or anemia requiring blood transfusion) or convulsions 
that do not result in hospitalization

Development of drug dependency or drug abuse
Assessment of Severity
Assessment of severity is one of the responsibilities of the Investigator in the evaluation of 
AEs and SAEs. The determination of severity should be made by the Investigator based upon 
medical judgment and the severity categories of Grade 1 to 5, as defined below.

Grade 1
An event of mild intensity that is usually transient and may require only 
minimal treatment or therapeutic intervention. The event does not 
generally interfere with usual activities of daily living.
Grade 2
An event of moderate intensity that is usually alleviated with additional 
specific therapeutic intervention. The event interferes with usual 
activities of daily living, causing discomfort but poses no significant or 
permanent risk of harm to the subject.
Grade 3
A severe event that requires intensive therapeutic intervention. The 
event interrupts usual activities of daily living, or significantly affects 
the clinical status of the subject.
Grade 4
An event, and/or its immediate sequelae, that is associated with an 
imminent risk of death.
Grade 5
Death as a result of an event.
It is important to distinguish between serious criteria and severity of an AE. Severity is a 
measure of intensity whereas seriousness is defined by the criteria in Section 5.2. A Grade 3 
AE need not necessarily be considered an SAE. For example, a Grade 3 headache that persists 
for several hours may not meet the regulatory definition of an SAE and would be considered a 
nonserious event, whereas a Grade 2 seizure resulting in a hospital admission would be 
considered an SAE.
Assessment of Relationship
A Guide to Interpreting the Causality Question
The Investigator is required to provide an assessment of relationship of AEs and SAEs to the 
investigational product. The following factors should be considered when deciding if there is a 
“reasonable possibility” that an AE may have been caused by the investigational product.

Time Course. Exposure to suspect investigational product. Has the subject actually 
received the suspect investigational product? Did the AE occur in a reasonable temporal 
relationship to the administration of the suspect investigational product?

Consistency with known investigational product profile. Was the AE consistent with the 
previous knowledge of the suspect investigational product (pharmacology and toxicology) 
or products of the same pharmacological class? OR could the AE be anticipated from its 
pharmacological properties? 

De-challenge experience. Did the AE resolve or improve on stopping or reducing the dose 
of the suspect investigational product?

No alternative cause. The AE cannot be reasonably explained by another etiology such as 
the underlying disease, other drugs, or other host or environmental factors.

Template 18.0

Re-challenge experience. Did the AE reoccur if the suspected investigational product was 
reintroduced after having been stopped? The Sponsor would not normally recommend or 
support a re-challenge.

Laboratory tests. A specific laboratory investigation (if performed) has confirmed the 
relationship?
In difficult cases, other factors could be considered, such as:

Is this a recognized feature of overdose of the investigational product?

Is there a known mechanism?
Causality of ‘related’ is made if following a review of the relevant data, there is evidence for a 
‘reasonable possibility’ of a causal relationship for the individual case. The expression 
‘reasonable possibility’ of a causal relationship is meant to convey, in general, that there are 
facts (evidence) or arguments to suggest a causal relationship.
The causality assessment is performed based on the available data including enough 
information to make an informed judgment. With limited or insufficient information in the 
case, it is likely that the event(s) will be assessed as ‘not related’.
Causal relationship in cases where the disease under study has deteriorated due to lack of 
effect should be classified as no reasonable possibility.
Relationship to Protocol Procedures
The Investigator is also required to provide an assessment of relationship of SAEs to protocol 
procedures on the SAE Report Form. This includes nontreatment-emergent SAEs (ie, SAEs 
that occur prior to the administration of investigational product) as well as treatment-emergent 
SAEs. A protocol-related SAE may occur as a result of a procedure or intervention required 
during the study (eg, blood collection, washout of an existing medication). The following 
guidelines should be used by Investigators to assess the relationship of SAEs to the protocol:
Protocol related:
The event occurred due to a procedure/intervention that was described 
in the protocol for which there is no alternative etiology present in the 
subject’s medical record.
Not protocol related: The event is related to an etiology other than the procedure/ 
intervention that was described in the protocol (the alternative etiology 
must be documented in the study subject’s medical record).

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NAID) and Food Allergy and 
Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN) define anaphylaxis as a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in 
onset and may cause death. They recognize 3 categories of anaphylaxis, with criteria 
designated to capture from 80% of cases (category 1) to > 95% of all cases of anaphylaxis (for 
all 3 categories). 
1. Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, mucosal 
tissue, or both (eg, generalized hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-tongue-uvula)
AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
(a) Respiratory compromise (eg, dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced 
peak expiratory flow (PEF), hypoxemia)
(b) Reduced blood pressure (BP) or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction 
(eg, hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence)
2. Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after exposure to a likely allergen for that 
patient/subject (minutes to several hours):
(a) Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue (eg, generalized hives, itch-flush, swollen 
lips-tongue-uvula)
(b) Respiratory compromise (eg, dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, reduced 
PEF, hypoxemia)
(c) Reduced BP or associated symptoms (eg, hypotonia [collapse], syncope, 
incontinence)
(d) Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (eg, crampy abdominal pain, vomiting)
3. Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that patient/subject (minutes to several 
hours):
(a) Infants and children: low systolic BP (age specific) or greater than 30% decrease in 
systolic BP
(b) Adults: systolic BP of less than 90 mm Hg or greater than 30% decrease from that 
person’s baseline

Appendix C
Actions Required in Cases of Increases in Liver Biochemistry 
and Evaluation of Hy’s Law
C 1
Introduction
This appendix describes the process to be followed in order to identify and appropriately 
report potential Hy’s Law cases and Hy’s Law cases. It is not intended to be a comprehensive 
guide to the management of elevated liver biochemistries. 
During the course of the study, the Investigator will remain vigilant for increases in liver 
biochemistry. The Investigator is responsible for determining whether a subject meets 
potential Hy’s Law criteria at any point during the study.
All sources of laboratory data are appropriate for the determination of potential Hy’s Law and 
Hy’s Law events; this includes samples taken at scheduled study visits and other visits 
including all local laboratory evaluations even if collected outside of the study visits. For 
example, potential Hy’s Law criteria could be met by an elevated ALT from a central 
laboratory and/or elevated TBL from a local laboratory.
The Investigator will also review AE data (for example, for AEs that may indicate elevations 
in liver biochemistry) for possible potential Hy’s Law events.
The Investigator participates, together with Sponsor clinical project representatives, in review 
and assessment of cases meeting potential Hy’s Law criteria to agree whether Hy’s Law 
criteria are met. Hy’s Law criteria are met if there is no alternative explanation for the 
elevations in liver biochemistry other than drug-induced liver injury caused by the 
investigational product.
The Investigator is responsible for recording data pertaining to potential Hy’s Law/Hy’s Law 
cases and for reporting AEs and SAEs according to the outcome of the review and assessment 
in line with standard safety reporting processes.
C 2
Definitions
C 2.1
Potential Hy’s Law
AST or ALT ≥ 3 × ULN together with TBL ≥ 2 × ULN at any point during the study 
following the start of investigational product irrespective of an increase in alkaline 
phosphatase.
C 2.2
Hy’s Law
AST or ALT ≥ 3 × ULN together with TBL ≥ 2 × ULN, where no other reason, other than 
the investigational product, can be found to explain the combination of increases; eg, elevated 
alkaline phosphatase indicating cholestasis, viral hepatitis, or another drug.

For potential Hy’s Law and Hy’s Law, the elevation in transaminases must precede or be 
coincident with (ie, on the same day) the elevation in TBL, but there is no specified timeframe 
within which the elevations in transaminases and TBL must occur.
C 3
Identification of Potential Hy’s Law Cases
In order to identify cases of potential Hy’s Law, it is important to perform a comprehensive 
review of laboratory data for any subject who meets any of the following identification criteria 
in isolation or in combination:

ALT ≥ 3 × ULN

AST ≥ 3 × ULN

TBL ≥ 2 × ULN
The Investigator will, without delay, review each new laboratory report and, if the 
identification criteria are met, will:

Notify the Sponsor study representative

Repeat the test (new blood draw) without delay

Determine whether the participant meets potential Hy’s Law criteria (see Section C 2 for 
definition) by reviewing any laboratory reports from all previous visits

Complete the appropriate unscheduled laboratory case report form (CRF) module(s) with 
the original local laboratory test result.
C 4
Follow-up
C 4.1
Potential Hy’s Law Criteria Not Met
If the subject does not meet potential Hy’s Law criteria the Investigator will:

Inform the Sponsor study representative that the participant has not met potential Hy’s 
Law criteria.

Perform follow-up on subsequent laboratory results, as applicable.
C 4.2
Potential Hy’s Law Criteria Met
If the subject does meet potential Hy’s Law criteria the Investigator will:

Notify the Sponsor study representative who will then inform the study team

Within 1 day of potential Hy’s Law criteria being met, the Investigator will report the 
case as an SAE of Potential Hy’s Law; serious criteria ‘Important medical event’ and 
causality assessment ‘yes/related’ according to clinical study protocol process for SAE 
reporting.

The medical monitor contacts the Investigator, to provide guidance, discuss and agree on an 
approach for the study subjects’ follow-up (including any further laboratory testing) and the 
continuous review of data. 

Subsequent to this contact the Investigator will:

Monitor the subject until liver biochemistry parameters and appropriate clinical 
symptoms and signs return to normal or baseline levels, or as long as medically 
indicated. Complete follow-up SAE Form as required.

Investigate the etiology of the event and perform diagnostic investigations as 
discussed with the medical monitor. 

Complete the relevant CRF Modules as information becomes available.
C 5
Review and Assessment of Potential Hy’s Law Cases
The instructions in this section should be followed for all cases where potential Hy’s Law 
criteria are met.
As soon as possible after the biochemistry abnormality was initially detected, the medical 
monitor will contact the Investigator in order to review available data and agree on whether 
there is an alternative explanation for meeting potential Hy’s Law criteria other than 
drug-induced liver injury caused by the investigational product, to ensure timely analysis and 
reporting to health authorities per local requirements from the date potential Hy’s Law criteria 
were met. The medical monitor and Global Safety Physician will also be involved in this 
review together with other subject matter experts as appropriate.
According to the outcome of the review and assessment, the Investigator will follow the 
instructions below.
Where there is an agreed alternative explanation for the ALT or AST and TBL elevations, 
a determination of whether the alternative explanation is an AE will be made and 
subsequently whether the AE meets the criteria for an SAE:

If the alternative explanation is not an AE, record the alternative explanation on the 
appropriate CRF

If the alternative explanation is an AE/SAE, update the previously submitted potential 
Hy’s Law SAE and AE CRFs accordingly with the new information (reassessing event 
term; causality and seriousness criteria) following the Sponsor’s standard processes.
If it is agreed that there is no explanation that would explain the ALT or AST and TBL 
elevations other than the investigational product:


Send the updated SAE (report term ‘Hy’s Law’) according to the Sponsor’s standard 
processes.

The ‘Medically Important’ serious criterion should be used if no other serious criteria 
apply

As there is no alternative explanation for the Hy’s Law case, a causality assessment 
of ‘related’ should be assigned.
If, there is an unavoidable delay of over 15 calendar days in obtaining the information 
necessary to assess whether or not the case meets the criteria for Hy’s Law, then it is assumed 
that there is no alternative explanation until such time as an informed decision can be made:

Provide any further update to the previously submitted SAE of Potential Hy’s Law (report 
term now ‘Hy’s Law case’), ensuring causality assessment are related to the 
investigational product and seriousness criteria is medically important, according to the 
clinical study protocol process for SAE reporting

Continue follow-up and review according to agreed plan. Once the necessary 
supplementary information is obtained, repeat the review and assessment to determine 
whether Hy’s Law criteria are still met. Update the previously submitted potential Hy’s 
Law SAE report following clinical study protocol process for SAE reporting, according to 
the outcome of the review and amend the reported term if an alternative explanation for 
the liver biochemistry elevations is determined.
C 6
Actions Required for Repeat Episodes of Potential Hy’s Law
This section is applicable when a subject meets potential Hy’s Law criteria on study treatment 
and has already met potential Hy’s Law criteria at a previous on study treatment visit.
The requirement to conduct follow-up, review, and assessment of a repeat occurrence(s) of 
potential Hy’s Law is based on the nature of the alternative cause identified for the previous 
occurrence.
The iIvestigator should determine the cause for the previous occurrence of potential Hy’s Law 
criteria being met and answer the following question:

Was the alternative cause for the previous occurrence of potential Hy’s Law criteria being 
met found to be the disease under study eg, chronic or progressing malignant disease, 
severe infection, or liver disease? 
If No: follow the process described in Section C 4.2, for reporting potential Hy’s Law as an 
SAE.

If Yes: Determine if there has been a significant change in the subject’s condition compared 
with when potential Hy’s Law criteria were previously met:

If there is no significant change no action is required

If there is a significant change follow the process described in Section C 4.2, for reporting 
potential Hy’s Law as an SAE.
A ‘significant’ change in the subject’s condition refers to a clinically relevant change in any 
of the individual liver biochemistry parameters (ALT, AST, or TBL) in isolation or in 
combination, or a clinically relevant change in associated symptoms. The determination of 
whether there has been a significant change will be at the discretion of the Investigator; this 
may be in consultation with the medical monitor if there is any uncertainty.
C 7
Laboratory Tests
To evaluate the underlying etiology of potential Hy’s Law cases, relevant laboratory tests may 
be performed as clinically indicated.
