Adults with Moderate to Severe Binge Eating Disorder 
Proposed Indication: Binge Eating Disorder (BED) 
Study Centers: approximately 50 clinical sites in the United States 
Planned Study Period: approximately 15 months from first subject screened to last subject last visit 
Study Objective: 
Primary: Evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of dasotraline (4 and 6 mg/day) compared with placebo in 
adults with moderate to severe BED as measured by the number of binge days per week 
Key Secondary: Evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of dasotraline (4 and 6 mg/day) compared with

•
Binge-eating Clinical Global Impression-Severity (BE-CGI-S)
•
4-Week cessation from binge eating defined as a 100% reduction for at least 28 consecutive
days in the number of binge eating episodes
•
Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Binge Eating (Y-BOCS-BE)
Other Secondary: 
•
Evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses of dasotraline (4 and 6 mg/day) compared with placebo in
adults with moderate to severe BED as measured by:
o
Number of binge episodes per week
o
Proportion of binge eating responders at Week 12 who show > 75% reduction in the

Study Design: This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter, outpatient study 
evaluating the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of dasotraline (4 and 6 mg/day) versus placebo over a 
12-week treatment period in adults with BED. Subjects will be randomized to 3 treatment groups in a 
1:1:1 ratio (4 mg/day dasotraline, 6 mg/day dasotraline, and placebo). 
Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo for the duration of the treatment period. 
Subjects randomized to 4 mg/day dasotraline will receive 4 mg/day for the duration of the treatment 
period. 
Subjects randomized to 6 mg/day dasotraline will be dosed with 4 mg/day dasotraline for the first 
2 weeks of the treatment period and will be increased to 6 mg/day at Week 2. 
If, in the judgment of the Investigator, the subject does not tolerate the assigned dose, he or she will be 
discontinued from the study. 
The study will consist of 3 periods: Screening (up to 3 weeks), 12-weeks of treatment, and a 3-week 
study drug withdrawal period. Subjects who complete the 12-week double-blind treatment period in 
this study may be eligible to enroll and continue treatment for an additional 12 months in an open-label 
extension study (Study SEP360-322; see Figure 1). Subjects who do not enter the extension study will 
complete the study drug withdrawal period in this study. 
Efficacy will be evaluated at each visit using the subject binge eating diary and a clinician interview to 
assess the frequency of binge episodes and the number of binge days, defined as days with at least one 
binge episode. Additional assessments will include BE-CGI-S, Y-BOCS-BE, MADRS, HAM-A, SDS, 
and EDE-Q modified. Safety and tolerability will be monitored throughout the study by collection of 
physical examination results, ECGs, vital signs, AEs, clinical laboratory parameters, C-SSRS, body 
weight, and BMI will be calculated. Subjects who have significant findings for suicidal ideation upon 
completion of the C-SSRS at any time during the study must be referred to the Investigator for follow-
up evaluation. Assessment of potential withdrawal effects will be conducted via administration of the 
CSSA, DESS, HAM-A, and MADRS at the end of treatment and during the 3-week study medication 
withdrawal period. 
Blood samples for pharmacokinetics (PK) and biomarkers associated with eating disorders (to be 
determined) will be collected. Blood samples collected for PK assessment will be analyzed for plasma 
concentrations of dasotraline. The relationship between dasotraline plasma concentration and the 
primary and selected secondary clinical outcome measures will be evaluated. The relationship between 
biomarkers associated with eating disorders in relationship to the severity of BED and response to 
dasotraline will be evaluated at a later date in the development program. Plasma samples collected for 
PK and biomarker concentration analysis may also be used for the additional characterization of and/or 
bioanalytical method development for dasotraline. 
A blood sample will be collected from subjects who provide separate informed consent for 
pharmacogenomics (PGx) analysis for potential evaluation of associations between genetic 
polymorphisms such as, but not limited to Taq1DRD2, OPRM1, and DRD4-7R, and the severity of 

Protocol SEP360-321 Version 3.00

BED, the clinical response to dasotraline, in addition to the safety, efficacy, and PK profiles of 
dasotraline to be conducted at a later date in the development program. Separate consent is required for 
collection of this specific blood sample and will be obtained at Screening for subjects who agree to 
provide this sample (note: this separate consent is not required for participation in the study, it is 
required only for subjects who will provide this sample). 
A comprehensive Abuse Potential Monitoring Plan (APMP) for dasotraline designed to detect potential 
abuse of the compound and to more closely monitor AEs consistent with the known pharmacology for 
dasotraline will be implemented. 
An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review safety data at regular 
intervals. 
Screening Period (Days -22 to -2): Informed consent will be obtained from each subject before any 
study procedures are performed for this study. Study eligibility criteria will be assessed during this 
period, and subjects will be required to have discontinued from any protocol prohibited medications 
within 3 months of screening. The subject’s eligibility assessment will be reviewed by the contract 
research organization’s (CRO) oversight quality team along with the sponsor based on protocol 
specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sponsor will participate in the eligibility review process 
with the CRO to ascertain the subject’s eligibility and will be copied on all communications between 
the CRO and the site. In the event the CRO/sponsor and site do not agree on a subject’s eligibility then 
the subject will not be enrolled. Subjects may be rescreened once for out of range clinical laboratory 
results including urine drug screen (UDS) or ECG results following authorization of the medical 
monitor. During the screening visit, subjects will be trained to complete the daily binge eating diary 
and then complete the diary at home for at least 14 consecutive days immediately prior to the Baseline 
visit and starting no sooner than the day after the screening visit. 
Baseline Visit (Day -1): Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at Screening will return to the study site 
on Day -1 for confirmation of screening evaluations as well as completion of predose assessments and 
procedures including clinician review of the daily binge eating diary. Any lapse in diary completion 
during the 14 day period (eg, 1 or more days are skipped) will be discussed with the subject. If 1 or 
2 days per week are incomplete or missing, the subject may complete the diary with the clinician. 
However, if the subject cannot recall enough information to complete the diary in full after clinician 
review, the subject will be ineligible. Subjects will also be ineligible for randomization if there are 
more than 2 missed diary days in 1 week. Eligible subjects (based on confirmation of study entry 
criteria) will be randomized and dispensed study drug at Day -1. 
Treatment Period (Day 1 [Week 0] through Day 84 [Week 12]): Subjects will self-administer the 
study drug on an outpatient basis once a day with or without food beginning on Day 1, the day after the 
Baseline visit, and continue for 12 weeks. Subjects will be instructed to administer study drug at 
approximately the same time each morning including on days when clinic visits occur. During the 
treatment period subjects will continue to complete a daily binge eating diary, which will be reviewed 
at each visit. During the treatment period, subjects will have one clinic visit every week for the first 
month, then one clinic visit every 2 weeks thereafter. In order to facilitate scheduling of clinic visits, a 
window of ± 2 days will be allowed for each weekly clinic visit and a window of ± 3 days will be 
allowed for each biweekly clinic visit. 
Subjects who complete the 12-week Treatment Period may be eligible for participation in the open 
label extension study (SEP360-322). For subjects enrolling in the open label extension study, Week 12 
will be the last visit for this study. 
Study Medication Withdrawal Period (Day 85 through Day 105 [Week 15]): Subjects who do not 
enroll in the extension study for whatever reason, eg, less than 12 weeks treatment in this study, lack of 
interest in the extension study, or failure to meet all eligibility criteria for the extension study will 
return to the clinic at Weeks 13, 14, and 15, to assess safety and potential study medication withdrawal 
effects during the study medication withdrawal period. Subjects who discontinue from study drug

before completion of the 12-week treatment period will be asked to return to the clinic and complete 
the End of Treatment (EOT) visit as soon as possible following discontinuation of study drug and 
complete the 3 week withdrawal period. In addition, subjects will continue to complete the binge eating 
diary during this period. 
Assessment of potential withdrawal effects will be conducted via administration of the CSSA, DESS, 
HAM-A, and MADRS at Week 12 (End of Treatment), then again at Weeks 13, 14, and 15 during the 
3-week study medication withdrawal period. 
The CSSA and DESS will also be completed during the 3-week study medication withdrawal period on 
non-clinic visit days. Clinical site staff will call the subject every other day during the study medication 
withdrawal period, beginning the second day after the last dose of study drug, unless a clinic visit is 
scheduled for that day (up to 3 times per day if the clinical site staff are unable to contact the subject on 
the first 2 attempts). Clinical site staff will record the responses in the subject’s source information and 
in the case report form (CRF) with the contact date and time. 
A window of ± 1 day will be allowed for each weekly clinic visit and telephone call. If the subject 
cannot be contacted on a given day, during the next contact the study site staff will retrospectively 
collect the missed CSSA and DESS, in addition to the current day’s CSSA and DESS. 
Number of Subjects (planned): approximately 480 subjects (160 per treatment group) 
Diagnosis and Main Criteria for Subject Inclusion: Male or female subjects between 18-55 years of 
age, inclusive, who meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition

Pharmacokinetic Endpoint:  
Relationship between dasotraline plasma concentration and the primary endpoint in addition to selected 
secondary efficacy and safety endpoints 
Statistical Methods:  
Primary Efficacy Endpoint Analyses 
The primary efficacy analyses of the primary efficacy endpoint (the change from baseline in the 
number of binge days per week at Week 12) will be performed using a likelihood-based mixed model 
for repeated measures (MMRM) model on the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. The response 
(dependent) variable is the change from baseline in the number of binge days per week assessed at 
Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Specifically, the MMRM model includes fixed effects terms for 
treatment, visit (as a categorical variable), pooled center, baseline binge days category (stratification 
factor; refer to Section 7.2.1 for categories), the number of binge days per week at baseline, and 
treatment-by-visit interaction. Restricted maximum likelihood estimation method will be applied using 
an unstructured covariance model. The Kenward Roger approximation will be used to estimate 
denominator degrees of freedom. In case of a failure of convergence with the unstructured covariance, 
the following structures will be assessed in a sequential order: heterogeneous Toeplitz, Toeplitz, spatial 
exponential covariance pattern model. Of the above 3 covariance structures, the first covariance 
structure yielding convergence in the MMRM model will be used for the MMRM analysis. The spatial 
exponential model is selected for the analysis of data with unequally spaced time points. The least 
squares (LS) mean treatment differences (each dasotraline group minus placebo) of change from 
baseline at Week 12, their 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and the associated p-values will be 
calculated based on this model. The model assumptions underlying the primary analysis will be 
assessed. 
The primary efficacy analysis will be repeated for the Per Protocol (PP) population to examine the 
impact of premature dropouts and/or protocol deviations. 
The primary efficacy endpoint also will be analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) 
model and the last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach, as a supportive analysis. The model 
will include terms for treatment, pooled center, baseline binge days category (stratification factor), and 

Protocol SEP360-321 Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
11 
 
17 Nov 2017 
the number of binge days per week at baseline as covariates. 
To address early dropouts under the assumption of missing not at random (MNAR), a pattern-mixture 
model using a placebo-based multiple imputation method and a pattern mixture model using multiple 
imputations with penalties (ie, deflating the individually estimated treatment effect size by known 
factors) will be performed as sensitivity analyses to explore the robustness of the MMRM results for 
the primary analysis. In case of a deviation from the assumptions required for the primary analysis, to 
confirm the robustness of the primary analysis result, 2 additional sensitivity analyses will be 
performed: (1) permutation test: fit a large number of datasets based on a same MMRM for the primary 
analysis with randomly assigning pseudo-treatment group designations; (2) generalized linear mixed 
model (GLMM) analysis: fit count data over time (ie, number of binge days among number of assessed 
days at each period) based on a binomial distribution. 
Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoint Analyses 
Continuous key secondary variables (ie, change in BE-CGI-S score and Y-BOCS-BE total score) will 
be analyzed with an MMRM model similar to the primary efficacy analysis (adjusted with the 
corresponding baseline). The LS mean treatment differences (each dasotraline group minus placebo) of 
change from baseline at Week 12, their 2-sided 95% CIs, and the associated p-values will be calculated 
based on the model. Categorical key secondary efficacy endpoints (ie, percent of subjects with a 
4-week cessation from binge eating) will be analyzed using a logistic regression model with treatment, 
baseline binge days category (stratification factor), and baseline number of binge days per week as 
covariates using a LOCF approach based on the ITT population. The odds ratios, their 2-sided 
95% CIs, and the associated p-values for each dasotraline group over the placebo group will be derived 
from the model. Additional supportive and sensitivity analyses may be conducted as needed for the key 
secondary endpoints to address early dropouts or potential deviations from the model assumption(s). 
Multiplicity Adjustment 
To control the overall type I error rate strongly at 5% for the primary and key secondary endpoints, for 
the hypotheses to be tested (see Section 15.2), a sequential testing strategy will be used. Following the 
fixed sequence closed testing procedure provided in Figure 2, testing will only proceed conditional on 
the statistical significance of the test(s) of prior level(s) at a 2-sided 5% significance level. 
Safety Analyses: 
Safety data will be analyzed by treatment group based on the Double-blind (DB) Safety population (for 
data up to the end of treatment period) and Withdrawal safety population (for data collected during the 
withdrawal period), separately, as appropriate. 
Overall AEs (or SAEs) and AEs (or SAEs) leading to discontinuation will be summarized by system 
organ class, preferred term, and treatment group by presenting the number and percentage of subjects 
with each AE. 
Descriptive statistics will be provided by visit and treatment group for observed values or changes from 
baseline of the safety variables. The change from baseline value at endpoint for selected laboratory 
parameters (eg, hemoglobin A1c, fasting glucose, fasting total cholesterol, fasting triglycerides, fasting 
HDL cholesterol, and fasting LDL cholesterol) will be evaluated using an ANCOVA model with terms 
for treatment and baseline binge days group, and corresponding baseline as covariate or nonparametric 
rank ANCOVA, as appropriate. A similar MMRM model as for the primary efficacy variable (with the 
corresponding baseline) will be applied to compare dasotraline with placebo for the following safety 
variables: change and percent change from baseline in body weight (kg); and change and percent 
change from baseline in BMI. Frequency and severity of suicidality using the C-SSRS will be 
summarized by treatment for the post-baseline treatment period and for the withdrawal period, 
separately. 
CSSA total score, DESS total score, MADRS total score, and HAM-A total score will be summarized 
by presenting descriptive statistics of actual values and change from Week 12/EOT by treatment and

visit for the withdrawal period. 
All PK data will be summarized descriptively by visit and treatment group. 
Sample Size: The sample size for this study was estimated based on 2 hypotheses associated with the 
primary efficacy endpoint (change from baseline in number of binge days per week at Week 12). A 
fixed sequence closed testing procedure was used to adjust for 2 comparisons of dasotraline doses vs 
placebo (ie, with dasotraline 6 mg vs placebo tested first and dasotraline 4 mg vs placebo tested after if 
the previous one is significant at the 0.05 level ) for the sample size justification. Based on the Study 
SEP360-221 results, assuming a common standard deviation (SD) of 1.75 and a mean improvement of 
0.9 (effect size 0.517) and 0.8 (effect size 0.457) over placebo for change from baseline in number of 
binge days per week at Week 12 for dasotraline 6 mg/day and 4 mg/day doses respectively, a sample 
size of 96 subjects per treatment group will provide at least 85% conjunctive power to reject both null 
hypotheses. An upward adjustment of approximately 40% is assumed to compensate for subjects who 
are randomized but discontinue from the study, thus, a total sample of 480 subjects (160 subjects per 
group) will be randomized with a ratio of 1:1:1 for placebo, and dasotraline 4 mg/day and 6 mg/day. 
The sample size calculation was based on Monte Carlo simulation from EAST 6.4.

Abbreviations: CST = Clinical Surveillance Team; EOT = End of Treatment; hs-CRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; PK = pharmacokinetic; V = visit 
a Subjects who discontinue from study drug before completion of the 12-week treatment period will be asked to return to the clinic and complete the End of Treatment visit as 
soon as possible following discontinuation of study drug and complete the 3-week withdrawal period. 
b Subjects who complete the 12-week treatment period and do not enter the extension study (Study SEP360-322) will complete the 3-week withdrawal period. 
c For subjects who complete the 12-week double-blind treatment period and enter the extension study (Study SEP360-322), Visit 10 will be the last visit in this study. 
d  Includes family history of psychiatric disorders. 
e For the prebaseline review, sites will be required to submit specific screening information for clinician and sponsor review, prior to proceeding to baseline. Details are provided 
in the Clinical Surveillance Team (CST) site manual. 
f All study drug will be administered by the subject, beginning on Day 1, the day after the Baseline visit, once a day at approximately the same time each morning including on the 
days when clinic visits occur. 
g Missing data, if any, will be reviewed by the clinical site staff with the subject and additional training on diary completion will be provided at other visits as needed. 
h Subjects complete a daily binge eating diary to record the date, duration (total hours of binging), type of binge episode (meal or non-meal), amount and type of food, and number 
of binges beginning 14 days prior to the Baseline visit and continue through the final clinic visit. At each in-clinic visit, the Investigator will review the diary with the subject. In 
addition, diaries will be sent to Bracket for central review. 
i The Structured Interview Guide for the MADRS (SIGMA) will be used for the administration of the MADRS. 
j The Structured Interview Guide for the HAM-A (SIGH-A) will be used for the administration of the HAM-A. 
k Only for subjects not entering the extension study. 
l Clinical site staff will call the subject every other day (± 1 day) during the study medication withdrawal period, beginning the second day after the last dose of study drug, unless 
a clinic visit is scheduled for that day, in order to collect the Cocaine Selective Severity Assessment (CSSA) and Discontinuation-Emergent Signs and Symptoms (DESS). 
Clinical site staff may call up to 3 times per day if the clinical site staff are unable to contact the subject on the first 2 attempts. If the subject cannot be contacted on a given day, 
during the next contact the study site staff will retrospectively collect the CSSA and DESS from the missed day(s) and the current day. 
m Body mass index (BMI) at screening will be calculated by the clinical site using BMI table or the BMI formula provided (Section 27, Appendix VIII). BMI on all other visits 
will be derived within the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system. 
n Subjects who answer “yes” to “suicidal ideation” item 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or item 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific 
plan and intent) on the C-SSRS assessment at Screening (in the past month) must be referred to the Investigator for follow up evaluation. 
o Untoward medical occurrences that occur prior to the first dose of study drug will be collected as pre-treatment events. 
p Subjects must be fasting for at least 8 hours (may have water and study drug) prior to the indicated laboratory tests. Visits should be scheduled in the morning. 
q The date and time of the last 3 doses of study drug prior to PK blood sample collection are to be recorded in the source documents and the CRF.

INTRODUCTION 
4.1. 
Background 
Binge eating disorder (BED) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes 
(on average at least once per week for 3 months) of excessive food consumption during a limited 
time period, accompanied by feelings of loss of control and distress in the absence of regular 
compensatory behaviors characteristic of bulimia nervosa (BN) (Diagnostic and Statistical 
Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition [DSM-5]). BED is the most common eating disorder in 
the United States and Western Europe, with an estimated lifetime prevalence of 2.5% in adults 
(~3.5% in adult women, 2.0% in adult men, and 1.6% in adolescents) and a mean age of onset of 
25.4 ± 1.2 years (McElroy-2012, Kessler-2013, Hudson-2007). Binge eating disorder is defined 
in DSM-5 as: 
• Recurrent episodes of binge eating characterized by both: 
− Eating an amount of food larger than what most people would eat, in a discrete 
period of time (eg, 2 hours) 
− Sense of lack of control over eating episode 
• Binge eating episode associated with ≥ 3: 
− Eating much more rapidly than normal 
− Eating until uncomfortably full 
− Eating large amounts when not feeling hungry 
− Eating alone because of embarrassment 
− Feeling disgusted with oneself, guilty afterward 
• Marked distress regarding binge eating is present 
• Binge eating occurs, on average, at least once a week for 3 months 
• Not associated with recurrent use of compensatory behavior (eg, bulimia nervosa). 
Patients with BED show significantly higher prevalence or risk for a range of comorbid 
psychiatric and medical disorders when compared to healthy individuals. The majority of 
patients fulfill Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) 
criteria for one or more psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, and phobias. BED 
patients also have a 2-3 fold greater risk for physical ailments, including obesity, hypertension, 
diabetes mellitus, and chronic pain. Taken together, these findings signify that BED presents a 
major public health problem with significant social and economic consequences (Kessler-2013). 
Considering the severity of clinical symptomology, the negative impact on quality of life and 
physical measures of health, there is a significant need for safe and efficacious treatments for 
adults with BED.

4.1.1. 
Neurobiology of Binge Eating Disorder 
Non-clinical and clinical studies have implicated dopamine, opioid, and norepinephrine systems 
within the brain reward circuit in the pathogenesis of eating and addictive disorders, including 
binge eating disorder (Murray-2014, Gold-2013, Smith-2013, Hoebel-1989). In particular, 
disturbances in dopamine and the dopamine D2/3 receptor play a key role in binge eating, 
suggesting that drugs targeting disturbances in dopaminergic transmission may be effective in 
treating the disorder. 
Non-clinical studies show that rats continue to self-administer substances that act like dopamine, 
or stimulate dopamine release, in response to a dysregulated reward circuit (Murray-2014, 
Ikemoto-1997, Carlezon-1995). Rats continuously fed a cafeteria diet or a high-fat, high sugar 
meal show reduced levels of dopamine and dopamine D2/3 receptors in the dorsal striatum and 
nucleus that form part of the reward circuit (van de Giessen-2012, van de Giessen-2013). 
Knockout of striatal dopamine D2 receptors induces compulsive-type behavior in response to 
highly palatable food (Johnson-2010). High-fat diets are associated with reduced dopamine 
transporter (DAT) expression and dopamine efflux (Speed-2011). In non-clinical studies of drug 
abuse, reduced availability of dopamine D2 receptors in the striatum lead to increased and 
habitual drug intake, further supporting the importance of this transmitter system in addictive 
behaviors, and suggesting that BED and other impulse control disorders, such as substance 
abuse, share overlapping neural mechanisms (Trifilieff-2014, Smith-2013). 
Clinical, genetic, and neuroimaging studies of eating behaviors in humans have shown parallel 
disturbances in the brain reward circuit and dopamine transmission in patients with BED, 
including reduced availability of dopamine D2 receptors in the striatum (Murray-2014, 
Smith-2013). Down regulation of dopamine D2 receptors in response to overeating leads to a 
hyper-responsive reward system that is sensitized to food, perpetuating patterns of recurrent food 
craving and overconsumption that result in BED in susceptible individuals. Further evidence for 
a hyper-responsive reward circuit in BED patients comes from neuroimaging studies using 
positron emission tomography (PET). Administration of methylphenidate, an inhibitor of the 
dopamine reuptake transporter, results in greater increases in dopamine levels in the caudate 
nucleus in response to food in BED patients when compared to individuals without BED. These 
increases are significantly correlated with binge eating scores (Wang-2011). Further in vivo 
support for the role of the dopaminergic system in regulating reward behaviors has come from 
PET studies in methamphetamine addicted individuals and healthy volunteers, which have 
shown negative correlations between impulsivity, a core personality trait in BED patients, and 
availability of dopamine D2/3 receptors in the striatum and midbrain (Lee-2009, 
Buckholtz-2010). 
Similar to findings from the PET studies, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies 
show a dysregulated and hyper-responsive reward circuit in response to food in BED patients. 
Exposure to high-calorie or highly palatable food stimuli elicits greater activation in reward 
areas, such as the nucleus accumbens and orbital frontal cortex in BED patients compared to 
controls, which directly correlates with the severity of binge eating symptoms (Schienle-2009, 
Filbey-2012). Together results from these studies show that dysregulation of the dopaminergic 
driven reward circuit is associated with BED and suggest that therapies targeting this system may 
offer effective interventions for the disorder.

4.1.2. 
Pharmacological Management of Binge Eating Disorder 
Although cognitive, behavioral and interpersonal psychotherapies improve binge eating 
symptoms, many patients do not respond (McElroy-2012). Recent studies suggest that 
pharmacotherapies that target one or more of the neurotransmitter systems implicated in BED 
may play a critical role in its management (McElroy-2012). 
Several classes of pharmacological agents have been evaluated for the treatment of BED in 
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled or open-label studies, including selective serotonin 
reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), antiobesity agents, anticonvulsants, and stimulants (Hudson-1998, 
McElroy-2000, Arnold-2002, McElroy-2003A, Stunkard-1996, Appolinario-2003, Grilo-2005, 
McElroy-2003B, McElroy-2006, McElroy-2007, Leombruni-2006, NCT01718483, 
NCT01718509). 
Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate is a central nervous stimulant indicated for the treatment of attention 
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In two 12–week, randomized, placebo-controlled 
registration studies, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate showed significant reductions in binge eating 
frequency (NCT01718483, NCT01718509) and these results supported FDA approval of 
Vyvanse® as a treatment for adults with BED (Shire-2015). 
4.2. 
Study Conduct Rationale 
Dasotraline (also known as SEP-225289), a new chemical entity currently in clinical trials for 
BED and ADHD, blocks the pre-synaptic dopamine transporter (DAT) and the norepinephrine 
transporter (NET). Unlike psychostimulants such as amphetamine, which facilitate the direct 
release of dopamine and norepinephrine (Hutson-2014, Minzenberg-2012), dasotraline is a dual 
reuptake inhibitor (dopamine/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor; DNRI). Dasotraline has a long 
time to maximum concentration (tmax; approximately 10 to 12 hours after dosing) and mean 
apparent half-life (47.1 to 77.0 hours). 
A non-clinical study was conducted to compare the acute effects of dasotraline in a rat model of 
BED with lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, and its pharmacologically active metabolite, 
d-amphetamine. Rats that were allowed irregular and limited access to chocolate developed 
robust and intermittent hyperphagia that mirrored BED without any associated obesity. Binge 
eating of chocolate was markedly reduced by a single oral dose of dasotraline. The reduction in 
chocolate consumption was dose dependent and comparable to the effects observed with both 
lisdexamfetamine dimesylate and d-amphetamine in this rat BED model. 
Previous clinical studies support dasotraline as a potentially safe and efficacious treatment option 
for adults with ADHD. In one study, adults taking dasotraline 8 mg/day experienced a significant 
improvement in ADHD symptoms compared to placebo, as measured by the Attention Deficit 
Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale Version IV (ADHD-RS-IV) with adult prompts total score 
(P = .010, effect size 0.41). A trend was seen for efficacy of the dasotraline 4 mg/day dose 
compared to placebo on the ADHD-RS-IV at Week 4 study endpoint (P = .076). Statistically 
significant improvement compared to placebo was observed in Clinical Global Impression-
Severity scale (CGI-S) scores at Week 4 for both the 4 and 8 mg/day doses. In a second study, 
the dasotraline 6 mg/day group showed numerically greater improvement relative to placebo in 
ADHD symptoms at Week 8 study endpoint, as measured by the ADHD-RS-IV with adult 
prompts, that was not statistically significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons (least

squares [LS] mean change from baseline: -16.51 vs -13.9; P = .074). Notably, the dasotraline 
6 mg/day group was statistically superior to placebo on the ADHD-RS-IV at the Week 4 
(P =.027), Week 6 (P =.019), and Week 8 (P = .037) timepoints (non-adjusted p-values). 
Statistically significant improvement on the CGI-S was also observed for the 6 mg/day group at 
Weeks 4 and 6, as well as at the Week 8 study endpoint (P = .011). The dasotraline 4 mg/day 
group did not show improvement relative to placebo on the ADHD-RS-IV and CGI-S 
assessments at the Week 8 study endpoint. 
Consistent with DNRI pharmacology, the most frequent adverse events (AEs) reported in these 
ADHD studies were insomnia, decreased appetite, and dry mouth. In addition, significant dose 
dependent decreases were observed in appetite and weight. Increases in mean supine and 
standing heart rate (HR) observed during treatment and follow-up were generally dose 
dependent. 
A recently completed 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, flexibly-dosed, 
study (SEP360-221) of dasotraline (4, 6, or 8 mg/day) in adults with BED showed significant 
reduction in the number of binge eating days/week compared to placebo at Week 12 (P < .0001) 
with an effect size of 0.74. Significant separation from placebo was observed at all weeks 
starting at Week 1 (P < .0001). In addition, dasotraline achieved significant results compared to 
placebo in the key secondary endpoints including improvement in the BE-CGI-S (P < .0001, 
effect size = 0.95); reduction in the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for 
Binge Eating (YBOCS-BE) score (P < .0001, effect size = 0.96); and a greater number of 
subjects achieving 4-week cessation from binge eating (P < .0001; effect size = 0.66). The 
highest incidence of AEs for subjects receiving dasotraline (≥ 5%) in descending order were 
insomnia, dry mouth, decreased appetite, anxiety, nausea, decreased weight, headache, dizziness, 
irritability, dyspepsia, constipation, thirst, and diarrhoea. There were no deaths in this study and 
1 serious adverse event (SAE) was reported (suicidal ideation). There were no clinically 
important changes in vital signs or electrocardiograms (ECG) observed except for a mild 
increase in pulse rate and orthostatic pulse rate, consistent with the known pharmacology of 
dasotraline. 
The current study is being conducted to replicate the efficacy results from Study SEP360-221, to 
explore the dose response, and to further assess the safety and tolerability of dasotraline in the 
treatment of BED. 
4.3. 
Risk-Benefit Assessment 
Overall, in previous clinical studies dasotraline was generally safe and well tolerated. An 
overview of safety results from the recently completed study in adult subjects with BED is 
presented in Section 4.2. To date, over 2700 subjects have received one or more doses of 
dasotraline during the clinical development programs in ADHD, BED, and major depressive 
disorder (MDD) in the range of 0.5 to 32 mg/day. A total of > 400 subjects have been exposed to 
dasotraline for a minimum of 6 months. 
Risks associated with dasotraline treatment have been well characterized and are as expected 
given the DAT/NET pharmacology. The most common AEs in the BED study were similar to 
findings in studies of adult subjects with ADHD.

In an effort to maximize tolerability, an initial dose of 4 mg/day for 2 weeks will be used for the 
dasotraline 6 mg/day treatment arm in this study. 
Dasotraline was evaluated in a dedicated human abuse liability study and compared with 
methylphenidate and placebo. Unlike methylphenidate, dasotraline did not differentiate from 
placebo on the primary end-point of Drug Liking and was disliked at the highest dose studied 
(36 mg). Standardized queries, as well as a comprehensive Abuse Potential Monitoring Plan 
(APMP), have not detected signals of drug abuse, dependence or withdrawal across clinical 
studies with dasotraline. 
The current study will be conducted in accordance with relevant regulatory guidance and law 
with regards to handling, distribution, storage, dispensation, accountability, and destruction of 
study drug. In addition the APMP will be implemented for this study (Section 26, 
Appendix VII). Additionally, a Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will be established 
for this study to review safety data at regular intervals. 
An overview of efficacy results from the recently completed study in adult subjects with BED is 
presented in Section 4.2. Dasotraline was statistically superior to placebo in change from 
baseline in the number of binge eating days/week at Week 12 with highly statistically significant 
separation from placebo observed at each week starting at Week 1. The study also met all 3 key 
secondary endpoints. 
The current study is designed to optimize the balance of efficacy and tolerability of dasotraline in 
the treatment of adult subjects with BED.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
7.1. 
Overall Study Design 
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter, outpatient study evaluating the 
efficacy and safety of 2 doses of dasotraline (4 and 6 mg/day) versus placebo over a 12-week 
treatment period in adults with BED. This study is projected to randomize approximately 
480 subjects to 3 treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio (4 mg/day dasotraline, 6 mg/day dasotraline, 
and placebo). 
Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo for the duration of the treatment period. 
Subjects randomized to 4 mg/day dasotraline will receive 4 mg/day for the duration of the 
treatment period.  
Subjects randomized to 6 mg/day dasotraline will be dosed with 4 mg/day dasotraline for the 
first 2 weeks of the treatment period and will be increased to 6 mg/day at Week 2. 
If, in the judgment of the Investigator, the subject does not tolerate the assigned dose, he or she 
will be discontinued from the study. 
The study will consist of 3 periods: Screening (up to 3 weeks), 12-weeks of treatment, and a 
3-week study drug withdrawal period. Subjects who complete the 12-week double-blind 
treatment period in this study may be eligible to enroll and continue treatment for an additional 
12 months in an open-label extension study (Study SEP360-322). Subjects who do not enter the 
extension study will complete the study drug withdrawal period in this study. A study schematic 
is presented in Figure 1.

Note: Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo for the duration of the treatment period. Subjects randomized to 
4 mg/day dasotraline will receive 4 mg/day for the duration of the treatment period. Subjects randomized to 6 mg/day 
dasotraline will be dosed with 4 mg/day dasotraline for the first 2 weeks of the treatment period and will be increased to 
6 mg/day at Week 2. 
a Subjects who do not enter the extension study will return to the clinic for withdrawal (Cocaine Selective Severity Assessment 
[CSSA], Discontinuation-Emergent Signs and Symptoms [DESS], Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale [HAM-A], and 
Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS]) and safety assessments at Weeks 13, 14, and 15 during the study 
medication withdrawal period. 
Efficacy will be evaluated at each visit using the subject binge eating diary and a clinician 
interview to assess the frequency of binge episodes and the number of binge days, defined as 
days with at least one binge episode. Additional assessments will include BE-CGI-S, 
Y-BOCS-BE, MADRS, HAM-A, SDS, and EDE-Q modified. Safety and tolerability will be 
monitored throughout the study by collection of physical examination results, ECGs, vital signs, 
AEs, clinical laboratory parameters, C-SSRS, body weight, and BMI will be calculated. Subjects 
who have significant findings for suicidal ideation upon completion of the C-SSRS at any time 
during the study must be referred to the Investigator for follow-up evaluation. Assessment of 
potential withdrawal effects will be conducted via administration of the CSSA, DESS, HAM-A, 
and MADRS at the end of treatment and during the 3-week study medication withdrawal period. 
Blood samples for pharmacokinetics (PK) and biomarkers associated with eating disorders (to be 
determined) will be collected. Blood samples collected for PK assessment will be analyzed for 
plasma concentrations of dasotraline. The relationship between dasotraline plasma concentration 
and the primary and selected secondary clinical outcome measures will be evaluated. The 
relationship between biomarkers associated with eating disorders in relationship to the severity 
of BED and response to dasotraline will be evaluated at a later date in the development program. 
Plasma samples collected for PK and biomarker concentration analysis may also be used for the 
additional characterization of and/or bioanalytical method development for dasotraline. 
A blood sample will be collected from subjects who provide separate informed consent for 
pharmacogenomics (PGx) analysis for potential evaluation of associations between genetic 
polymorphisms such as, but not limited to Taq1DRD2, OPRM1, and DRD4-7R, and the severity 
of BED, the clinical response to dasotraline, in addition to the safety, efficacy, and PK profiles of 
dasotraline to be conducted at a later date in the development program. Separate consent is 
required for collection of this specific blood sample and will be obtained at Screening for 
subjects who agree to provide this sample (note: this separate consent is not required for 
participation in the study, it is required only for subjects who will provide this sample). 
A comprehensive APMP for dasotraline designed to detect potential abuse of the compound and 
to more closely monitor AEs consistent with the known pharmacology for dasotraline will be 
implemented (see Section 26, Appendix VII for details). 
An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review safety data at regular 
intervals. 
Screening Period (Days -22 to -2): Informed consent will be obtained from each subject before 
any study procedures are performed for this study. Study eligibility criteria will be assessed 
during this period, and subjects will be required to have discontinued from any protocol 
prohibited medications within 3 months of screening. The subject’s eligibility assessment will be 
reviewed by the contract research organization’s (CRO) oversight quality team along with the 
sponsor based on protocol specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sponsor will participate 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
42 
17 Nov 2017 
in the eligibility review process with the CRO to ascertain the subject’s eligibility and will be 
copied on all communications between the CRO and the site. In the event the CRO/sponsor and 
site do not agree on a subject’s eligibility then the subject will not be enrolled. Subjects may be 
rescreened once for out of range clinical laboratory results including urine drug screen (UDS) or 
ECG results following authorization of the medical monitor. During the screening visit, subjects 
will be trained to complete the daily binge eating diary and then complete the diary at home for 
at least 14 consecutive days immediately prior to the Baseline visit and starting no sooner than 
the day after the screening visit. 
Baseline Visit (Day -1): Subjects who meet eligibility criteria at Screening will return to the 
study site on Day -1 for confirmation of screening evaluations as well as completion of predose 
assessments and procedures including clinician review of the daily binge eating diary. Any lapse 
in diary completion during the 14 day period (eg, 1 or more days are skipped) will be discussed 
with the subject. If 1 or 2 days per week are incomplete or missing, the subject may complete the 
diary with the clinician. However, if the subject cannot recall enough information to complete 
the diary in full after clinician review, the subject will be ineligible. Subjects will also be 
ineligible for randomization if there are more than 2 missed diary days in 1 week. Eligible 
subjects (based on confirmation of study entry criteria) will be randomized and dispensed study 
drug at Day -1. 
Treatment Period (Day 1 [Week 0] through Day 84 [Week 12]): Subjects will self-administer 
the study drug on an outpatient basis once a day with or without food beginning on Day 1, the 
day after the Baseline visit, and continue for 12 weeks. Subjects will be instructed to administer 
study drug at approximately the same time each morning including on days when clinic visits 
occur. During the treatment period subjects will continue to complete a daily binge eating diary, 
which will be reviewed at each visit. During the treatment period, subjects will have one clinic 
visit every week for the first month, then one clinic visit every 2 weeks thereafter. In order to 
facilitate scheduling of clinic visits, a window of ± 2 days will be allowed for each weekly clinic 
visit and a window of ± 3 days will be allowed for each biweekly clinic visit, and a window of 
± 1 day for the end of treatment (EOT) visit and each clinic visit of the withdrawal period. 
Subjects who complete the 12-week Treatment Period may be eligible for participation in the 
open label extension study (SEP360-322). For subjects enrolling in the open label extension 
study, Week 12 will be the last visit for this study. 
Study Medication Withdrawal Period (Day 85 through Day 105 [Week 15]): Subjects who 
do not enroll in the extension study for whatever reason, eg, less than 12 weeks treatment in this 
study, lack of interest in the extension study, or failure to meet all eligibility criteria for the 
extension study will return to the clinic at Weeks 13, 14, and 15, to assess safety and potential 
study medication withdrawal effects during the study medication withdrawal period. Subjects 
who discontinue from study drug before completion of the 12-week treatment period will be 
asked to return to the clinic and complete the End of Treatment visit as soon as possible 
following discontinuation of study drug and complete the 3 week withdrawal period. In addition, 
subjects will continue to complete the binge eating diary during this period. 
Assessment of potential withdrawal effects will be conducted via administration of the CSSA, 
DESS, HAM-A, and MADRS at Week 12 (End of Treatment), then again at Weeks 13, 14, 
and 15 during the 3-week study medication withdrawal period.

The CSSA and DESS will also be completed during the 3-week study medication withdrawal 
period on non-clinic visit days. Clinical site staff will call the subject every other day during the 
study medication withdrawal period, beginning the second day after the last dose of study drug, 
unless a clinic visit is scheduled for that day (up to 3 times per day if the clinical site staff are 
unable to contact the subject on the first 2 attempts). Clinical site staff will record the responses 
in the subject’s source information and in the CRF with the contact date and time. 
A window of ± 1 day will be allowed for each weekly clinic visit and telephone call. If the 
subject cannot be contacted on a given day, during the next contact the study site staff will 
retrospectively collect the missed CSSA and DESS, in addition to the current day’s CSSA and 
DESS. 
7.2. 
Treatment Assignment and Blinding 
7.2.1. 
Treatment Assignment 
After successfully meeting study entry criteria, subjects will be randomly assigned in a 
1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment arms: 
• Dasotraline 4 mg/day 
• Dasotraline 6 mg/day 
• Placebo 
To avoid potential imbalanced treatment allocation among subjects with different baseline levels 
of BED, the randomization will be balanced using permuted blocks with baseline number of 
binge eating days per week, which is defined as number of binge days/week determined from the 
2 weeks before the Baseline visit (3 – 4 binge eating days per week, > 4 binge eating days per 
week). The stratification process will be handled by an IXRS, an integrated web-based subject 
and drug-management system. 
An IXRS will be used to manage randomization at Day -1 and, if necessary, for emergency 
unblinding (see Section 7.2.3) of treatment assignment during the study. 
Study medication will be assigned by an IXRS at Day -1 based on the randomization schedule. 
The IXRS will generate instructions on which medication number to assign to a subject. Each 
randomized subject will be dispensed one 10-day blister pack per scheduled visit up to and 
including Visit 5 and two 10-day blister packs per scheduled visit thereafter through Visit 9. 
7.2.2. 
Blinding 
This is a double-blind study. 
Subjects, Investigator staff, persons performing the assessments, clinical operations personnel, 
data analysts, and personnel at central laboratories will remain blind to the identity of the 
treatment from the time of randomization until database lock (DBL) and unblinding, using the 
following methods: (1) randomization data are kept strictly confidential until the time of 
unblinding, and will not be accessible by anyone else involved in the study with the following 
exceptions: external bioanalytical personnel involved in the analysis of PK samples, DSMB 
members involved in regular review of safety data, external statistician and programmer who 
prepare materials for DSMB review, and Clinical Trial Materials Management personnel and 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
44 
17 Nov 2017 
(2) the identity of the treatments will be concealed by the use of study medication that are all 
identical in packaging, labeling, schedule of administration, and appearance. 
During the study and prior to database lock, the treatment assignments for all subjects will be 
provided to the Bioanalytical Contract Research Organization (CRO) to facilitate plasma PK 
sample handling and analysis. No PK samples will be analyzed for placebo subjects. 
7.2.3. 
Emergency Unblinding Procedures 
The IXRS will be used, if necessary, for emergency unblinding of treatment assignment during 
the study. The blinded dose information is to be broken only in an emergency when knowledge 
of such treatment may have an impact on further treatment decisions or aid in the emergency 
treatment of the subject. Every effort must be made to contact the CRO Medical Monitor 
(Table 1) before any unblinding of the study drug. The circumstances that lead to unblinding are 
to be promptly communicated via telephone and in writing to the CRO Medical Monitor. Any 
subject for whom the blind is broken is to be discontinued from receiving any additional study 
medication and should undergo final evaluation procedures, in accordance with the EOT Visit as 
described in Section 11.8.9. 
7.3. 
Rationale 
7.3.1. 
Rationale for the Study Design 
This study is being conducted in order to replicate the efficacy results from SEP360-221 and to 
evaluate dose response to dasotraline in adult subjects with BED. 
Similar to Study SEP360-221, the current study is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, 
placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dasotraline over a 
12-week outpatient treatment period. 
In order to evaluate dose response to dasotraline, this study is a fixed-dose design of 2 doses of 
dasotraline compared with placebo. 
7.3.2. 
Rationale for the Dosages 
The dasotraline doses to be utilized in this study (4 mg/day and 6 mg/day) were selected based 
on the effects of dasotraline in the initial BED study in adults, Study SEP360-221. 
In the current study, dasotraline will be administered once daily based on its pharmacokinetic 
profile. One dasotraline treatment arm will receive 4 mg/day for the duration of the treatment 
period, and the other arm randomized to 6 mg/day will receive 4 mg/day for the first 2 weeks of 
treatment.  
The 4 mg/day dose was chosen because efficacy analyses in Study SEP360-221 at Week 2, 
where all dasotraline treated subjects were on 4 mg/day, showed a significant change from 
baseline in the number of binge days per week with an effect size 0.5. The 6 mg/day dasotraline 
dose was chosen because the results in Study SEP360-221 showed its use resulted in an 
acceptable balance of safety and efficacy, further evidenced by the fact that it was the modal 
dose in that study, whereas subjects on 8 mg/day were those who failed to respond to the lower 
doses. One-half of these subjects, however, did not respond to 8 mg/day. Together these results 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
45 
17 Nov 2017 
suggest that 6 mg/day is the optimal dose with regards to benefit and risk and 4 mg/day is the 
minimum effective dose in the treatment of BED. SEP360-321 will test these 2 hypotheses. 
7.3.3. 
Rationale for the Study Population 
The patient population for this study will range from 18 to 55 years of age, inclusive, and have 
symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of moderate to severe BED. Subjects must meet the 
DSM-5 criteria for a diagnosis of BED established using the eating-disorders module of the 
Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Module H (SCID-I Module H), 
clinician review of subject diaries, and the EDE-Q. These instruments have been extensively 
used in previous trials and show excellent reliability (McElroy-2007, Hudson-1998, Grilo-2005). 
To optimize signal detection for the primary endpoint, enrolled subjects must have moderate to 
severe BED, as demonstrated by at least 3 binge eating days for each of the 2 weeks prior to the 
Baseline visit, and have a diagnosis of BED or is diagnosed at screening and has had a history of 
at least 2 binge eating days a week for at least 6 months prior to screening. 
Treatment effects observed in the proposed population will be generalizable to BED patients 
diagnosed based on DSM-5 criteria as studies have shown that patients with mild BED are 
behaviorally comparable to those who binge more frequently (Wilson-2009). To reduce the 
potential confounding effects of comorbid disorders and certain concomitant medications on the 
efficacy and safety measures, subjects will be excluded who have significant or unstable 
comorbid medical disorders (eg, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus); psychiatric disorders 
(eg, psychosis, bipolar disorder); and/or are taking medications used for the treatment of BED 
(eg, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, topiramate, SSRIs); or medications associated with weight 
gain or weight loss (eg, insulin, liraglutide, metformin, stimulants). 
7.3.4. 
Rationale for the Endpoints 
The efficacy assessments and their timing are considered appropriate to assess the efficacy of 
dasotraline in adults with BED and are consistent with those used in previous trials 
(McElroy-2007, NCT01718483, and NCT01718509). The symptom and functional assessments 
were selected to address the potential effectiveness of dasotraline on these parameters. The 
standard safety assessments and their timing are appropriate to assess the safety of dasotraline in 
adults with BED. 
7.4. 
Prevention of Missing Data 
In an effort to minimize the number of subjects who are terminated from the study before study 
completion, the following study design and conduct elements are implemented: (i) clinic visits 
every week for the first month, every 2 weeks for the remainder of double-blind treatment, and 
every week during the study drug withdrawal period, (ii) during the treatment period a window 
of ± 2 days for each weekly clinic visit, a window of ± 3 days for each biweekly clinic visit, and 
a window of ± 1 day for the EOT visit (iii) training the sites on the importance of continued 
follow-up and on the informed consent process, ensuring subjects understand the commitment 
they are making, including the intent to complete the trial, (iv) the clinical sites will train subjects 
on appropriate binge eating diary completion at Visits 1, 2, 3, and 5 and retraining will be 
provided throughout the study as needed, and (v) monitoring of data collection for adherence 
during the study.

SELECTION OF SUBJECTS 
Approximately 480 total subjects will be randomized (160 subjects per treatment group) at 
approximately 50 clinical sites in the United States. 
The subject’s eligibility assessment will be reviewed by the CRO’s Clinical Surveillance Team 
(CST) along with the sponsor based on protocol specified inclusion and exclusion criteria to 
promote appropriate subject enrollment and data quality. For the prebaseline review, sites will be 
required to submit specific screening information for clinician and sponsor review, prior to 
proceeding to baseline. The sponsor will participate in the eligibility review process with the 
CRO to ascertain the subject’s eligibility and will be copied on all communications between the 
CRO and the site. In the event the CRO/sponsor and site do not agree on a subject’s eligibility, 
then the subject will not be enrolled. Decisions regarding inclusion of subjects and assessment of 
subject safety throughout the trial primarily remain at the discretion of the Investigator; however, 
the Medical Monitor or Sponsor may request exclusion or discontinuation of a subject based on 
entry criteria or subject safety. 
Subjects must meet all inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria at both the Screening and 
Baseline visits unless otherwise noted under the Inclusion or Exclusion Criteria. Eligibility 
criteria involving clinical laboratory values will be based on results from samples obtained at 
Screening. 
Subjects may be rescreened once for out of range clinical laboratory results including UDS or 
ECG results following authorization of the medical monitor. Each time a subject is rescreened a 
new subject number will be assigned. Screening numbers cannot be reassigned to another 
subject. 
Subjects whose study participation is prematurely terminated will not be replaced. 
8.1.

An IXRS will be used to manage subject screening and enrollment. The IXRS is an integrated 
web-based subject and drug management system. 
Study drug blister cards will be assigned by the IXRS based on the treatment schedule and dose 
adjustment criteria. The IXRS will generate instructions with regard to which medication number 
to assign to a subject. Each subject will be dispensed one or two 10-day blister cards per 
scheduled visit depending on the timing of the next scheduled visit (see Section 7.2.1). 
Subjects will self-administer the study drug on an outpatient basis. Subjects will take one capsule 
of study drug per day at approximately the same time each morning including on the days when 
clinic visits occur. 
9.5. 
Study Drug Accountability 
The Investigator or designee is responsible for storing the drug in a secure location and for 
maintaining adequate records of drug disposition that include the dates, quantity, and use by 
subjects. If the study is stopped for any reason or completed, all unused supplies of drug will be 
returned to the Sponsor, unless other instructions are provided in writing by Sponsor/ CRO. 
Upon receipt of clinical trial material (CTM), the Investigator or designee will inventory the 
supplies and verify receipt of supplies. The site will send an Acknowledgement of Receipt to 
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, or designee, confirming date of receipt, inventory, and condition of 
CTM received. 
The Investigator on an ongoing basis must maintain a drug inventory record of supplied, 
received, dispensed, and returned study medication for use as the primary source for study drug 
accountability. 
9.6. 
Study Drug Handling and Disposal 
On an ongoing basis, the Investigator or designee must maintain a study medication inventory 
record of supplied, received, dispensed, and returned medication.  
The study medication will not be dispensed to any person who is not a study subject under this 
protocol.

TREATMENT OF SUBJECTS 
10.1. 
Study Medication  
Dasotraline 4 mg and 6 mg capsules and placebo capsules for oral administration will be 
supplied for the study as described in Section 9. 
Subjects will self-administer the study drug on an outpatient basis once a day beginning on 
Day 1, the day after the Baseline visit, and continue for 12 weeks. Subjects will be instructed to 
administer study drug at approximately the same time each morning including on days when 
clinic visits occur. If an individual subject requires a change to time of dosing (eg, evening shift 
worker), this must be approved by the Medical Monitor, and the subject should take the study 
drug at the same time of day throughout the study. All doses of study drug will consist of 
1 capsule taken orally. 
Subjects may take study medication with or without food. 
Study medication capsules should not be opened or tampered with in any way; the active 
ingredient is an ocular irritant. 
10.1.1. 
Dose or Dosage for Study Drug 
Subjects randomized to placebo will receive placebo for the duration of the treatment period. 
Subjects randomized to 4 mg/day dasotraline will receive 4 mg/day for the duration of the 
treatment period.  
Subjects randomized to 6 mg/day dasotraline will be dosed with 4 mg/day dasotraline for the 
first 2 weeks of the treatment period and will be increased to 6 mg/day at Week 2. 
No other changes in dose are allowed during the study. Subjects who cannot tolerate the assigned 
dose at any time in the study will be discontinued. 
10.2. 
Treatment Compliance 
Compliance with study medication will be monitored closely and determined at each visit during 
treatment. Subjects will be instructed to bring all unused study medication with them to each 
visit. Compliance will be assessed by counting capsules and dividing the actual number of doses 
taken (per capsule count) by the number of doses the subject should have taken within a visit 
period and multiplying by 100. Subjects who miss more than 25% of scheduled doses or take 
more than 125% of the scheduled doses will be considered noncompliant. Evidence of 
noncompliance must be immediately reported to the Medical Monitor. Potential noncompliance 
will be discussed with subjects, and at the Investigator’s discretion may result in termination of 
the subject from the study. All subjects will be reminded of the importance of strict compliance 
with taking study medication for the accurate evaluation of the safety, tolerability, and 
effectiveness of the study drug.

adequate contraception is defined as abstinence or continuous use of 2 barrier methods of 
contraception (eg, male condom in addition to a diaphragm or a contraceptive sponge). 
It is recommended that female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects with female 
partners of childbearing potential continue to use an effective and medically acceptable form of 
birth control for 30 days after study completion. 
10.5. 
Guidance for Overdose 
There is no overdose experience with dasotraline in humans. Signs and symptoms of overdose in 
non-clinical studies were consistent with exaggerated pharmacology and included hyperactivity, 
stereotypy, aggressiveness, and reduced food intake and body weight loss. 
Activated charcoal may be of value if administered very soon after a dasotraline overdose 
(ie, during the absorption process). 
10.6. 
Cautions 
Dasotraline is an ocular irritant. Therefore appropriate precautions should be taken to avoid 
ocular exposure to the contents of the dasotraline capsules.

A study schematic is presented in Figure 1. A summary of assessments to be conducted at each 
visit is presented in Table 2. 
Training, as appropriate, will be provided for study site staff administering each of the 
effectiveness and safety assessments. In an effort to improve the consistency of subject 
assessment across sites, an independent rater qualification service will provide training on the 
Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), SCID-I Module H, EDE-Q, EDE-Q 
modified, Y-BOCS-BE, BE-CGI-S, MADRS, SDS, HAM-A, CSSA, and DESS rating scales. In 
an effort to improve rater consistency and precision, an independent rater qualification service, in 
collaboration with the sponsor, will develop a credential and experience survey to identify raters 
with appropriate experience. The sponsor has final discretion regarding allowing raters to 
participate in the study. 
Table 6 outlines the clinical assessments that will be conducted by site raters or self-report by

The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, Module H (SCID-I Module H) 
is a primary diagnostic measure developed to establish the presence of binge eating disorder in 
adults. The SCID is often used to characterize a study population in terms of current and past 
psychiatric diagnoses (Spitzer-1992, First-2007). 
11.2.2. 
Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q)  
The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is a self-report version of the eating 
disorder examination (EDE) (Fairburn-1994). Like the EDE, the EDE-Q measures 
eating-disorder psychopathology in the past 28 days, and over longer intervals for diagnostic 
items. The EDE-Q yields scores on the same subscales (dietary restraint, eating concern, weight 
concern, and shape concern), global score, and binge eating frequency variables as the EDE 
interview. Research with clinical samples of patients with BED has reported acceptable 
agreement between the EDE-Q and EDE interview (Grilo-2001A; Grilo-2001B). 
11.2.3. 
Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) 
The MINI is a short structured diagnostic interview, developed for Diagnostic and Statistical 
Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition Text Revised (DSM-IV-TR) and DSM-5 psychiatric 
disorders (Sheehan-1989). With an administration time of approximately 15 minutes, it was 
designed to meet the need for a short but accurate structured psychiatric interview for multicenter 
clinical trials and epidemiology. The MINI 7 will be used for this study. 
11.3. 
Efficacy Assessments and Scales 
11.3.1. 
Binge Eating Diary 
All binge episodes will be captured daily by the subject in a binge eating diary using paper 
format provided by the CRO to record the date, duration (total hours of binging), type of binge 
episode (meal or non-meal), amount and type of food, and number of binges. At each visit, the 
Investigator will review the completed diary with the subject and assess the number of binges for 
each day. The Investigator assessment of number of binges for each day will be recorded in the 
diary and recorded in the CRF. Missing data, if any, will be reviewed by the clinical site staff 
with the subject and additional training on diary completion will be provided as needed.

11.3.2. 
Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) 
The SDS was developed to assess functional impairment in 3 domains: work/school, social, and 
family life. The subject rates the extent to which work/school, social life, and home life have 
been impaired by his/her symptoms on an 11-point visual analog scale. The 3 items can be 
summed into a single global measure of impairment that ranges from 0 (unimpaired) to 
30 (highly impaired). This anchored visual analog scale uses spatiovisual, numeric, and verbal 
descriptive anchors simultaneously to assess disability across 3 domains: work; social life, and 
family life. There are verbal descriptors for the points on the scale as well as numerical scores 
that provide more precise levels of the verbal descriptors. The SDS takes approximately 
10 minutes to complete. 
11.3.3. 
Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) 
The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a widely used clinician-rated 
assessment of the subject’s level of depression. The measure contains 10 items that measure 
apparent and reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep and appetite, difficulty concentrating, 
lassitude, inability to feel, and pessimistic and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored in a range 
of 0 to 6 points, with higher scores indicating increased depressive symptoms. 
The Structured Interview Guide for the MADRS (SIGMA) will be used for the administration of 
the MADRS. 
11.3.4. 
Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) 
The HAM-A is a widely used and well-validated tool for measuring the severity of a patient’s 
anxiety. It should be administered by an experienced clinician. The HAM-A consists of 14 items, 
each defined by a series of symptoms, and measures both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and 
psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). Each item is 
scored on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 = not present to 4 = severe. 
The Structured Interview Guide for the HAM-A (SIGH-A) will be used for the administration of 
the HAM-A. 
11.3.5. 
Binge-eating Clinical Global Impressions–Severity of Illness (BE-CGI-S) 
The BE-CGI-S (based on Guy-1976) asks the clinician one question: “Considering your total 
clinical experience with this population, how mentally ill is the subject at this time?” The 
clinician’s answer is rated on the following 7-point scale: 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline 
mentally ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; 7 = among the 
most extremely ill subjects. 
This rating is based upon observed and reported BED symptoms, behavior, and function in the 
past 7 days. Clearly, symptoms and behavior can fluctuate over a week; the score should reflect 
the average severity level across the 7 days. 
11.3.6. 
Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Binge Eating 
(Y-BOCS-BE) 
The Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Binge Eating (Y-BOCS-BE) is a 
clinician-rated scale that measures the obsession of binge eating, thoughts and compulsiveness of 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
60 
17 Nov 2017 
binge eating behaviors. The 10-item scale, is rated from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (extreme 
symptoms). Total scores range from 0 to 40. A score of 0-7 is sub-clinical; 8-15 is mild; 16-23 is 
moderate; 24-31 is severe; and 32-40 is extreme (Goodman-1989). The Y-BOCS-BE can be 
divided into 2 subscales: obsessions and compulsions. 
11.3.7. 
Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) Modified 
Convergent findings from confirmatory factor analyses of item data from the EDE-Q obtained 
from patients with BED (Grilo-2010) and patients with overweight/obesity (Grilo-2012; 
Grilo-2013; Hrabosky-2008) as well as non-clinical groups (Grilo-2015) support an alternative, 
brief version of the EDE-Q and EDE comprising 7 items to generate a global score and 
3 subscales (dietary restraint, shape/weight overvaluation, and body dissatisfaction) referred to as 
the EDE-Q7 (Grilo-2015). In the present study, the EDE-Q7 along with 3 items to assess binge 
eating, including the number of binge eating days will be used and referred to as the EDE-Q 
modified. 
11.4. 
Safety Assessments and Scales 
11.4.1. 
Safety Assessments 
The Investigator or appropriate designee will review results of safety assessments on a regular 
basis and the Sponsor must be kept fully informed of any clinically significant findings either at 
Screening or subsequently during study conduct. 
11.4.1.1. Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be collected for each subject. Subjects should be queried in a non-leading 
manner, without specific prompting (eg, “Has there been any change in your health status since 
your last visit?”). See Section 12 , Safety Reporting. 
AEs and SAEs will be monitored throughout the study at all visits following the first dose of 
study drug. 
Untoward medical occurrences that occur prior to the first dose of study drug will be collected as 
pre-treatment events. 
11.4.1.2. Clinical Laboratory Tests 
Clinical laboratory tests will include routine serum chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, lipid 
panel, hemoglobin A1c, insulin, and hs-CRP. The specific clinical laboratory tests required by 
protocol are listed in Section 21, Appendix II. 
Blood and urine samples will be collected for clinical laboratory tests. All clinical laboratory 
tests will be performed centrally to ensure consistency. For detailed instructions regarding 
clinical laboratory procedures, sampling, and shipping guidelines refer to the Central Laboratory 
Instructions Manual. All clinical laboratories will be College of American Pathologists (CAP) 
and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) (or equivalent) certified. 
If a subject has an unscheduled visit, clinical laboratory tests may be repeated (as necessary). 
Blood samples for clinical laboratory tests should be collected after scheduled 12-lead ECG and 
vital signs assessments.

17 Nov 2017 
11.4.1.3. Physical and Neurological Examinations 
Clinically significant physical and neurological examination findings, as judged by the 
Investigator, at screening will be recorded as medical history and after screening will be recorded 
as AEs. 
The physical examination will consist of an assessment of body systems including but not 
limited to head, ears, eyes, nose and throat (HEENT), cardiovascular (heart and vascular system), 
respiratory (lungs and chest), gastrointestinal (abdomen), and skin. 
Neurological examinations will include a brief assessment of mental status, cranial nerves, motor 
strength and coordination, sensory function in addition to deep tendon reflexes. 
11.4.1.4. Vital Signs 
Following 5 minutes of rest, respiration rate, oral temperature, and supine systolic and diastolic 
blood pressures and pulse rate will be measured. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse 
rate will be taken again with the subject standing after the subject has been standing for 2 to 
4 minutes. The same arm should be used during each assessment of blood pressure and pulse rate 
throughout the study. If a subject develops symptoms consistent with orthostatic hypotension 
(light-headedness, dizziness, or changes in sensorium upon standing) at any point, his or her 
supine and standing blood pressure and pulse rate should be collected at that time in the manner 
described above. Vital signs will be obtained prior to clinical laboratory collection and 
performance of an ECG, whenever possible. 
11.4.1.5. Electrocardiograms 
All ECGs will be obtained in the supine position, after the subject has been resting supine for at 
least 10 minutes. ECGs will be 12-lead with a 10-second rhythm strip. ECGs should be obtained 
before drawing blood samples. All attempts should be made to use the same ECG recorder for all 
visits within individual subjects. ECGs will be centrally read at a core laboratory according to 
established quality additional information assurance procedures for inter/intra reader variability. 
Refer to Section 20, Appendix I for additional information. 
Standard 12-lead ECG will record heart rate (HR), PR interval, RR interval, QT interval, QTc 
intervals (QTcB and QTcF), and QRS duration. 
11.4.2. 
Safety Scales 
11.4.2.1. Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) 
The C-SSRS (Posner-2007) is a tool designed to systematically assess and track suicidal AEs 
(suicidal behavior and suicidal ideation) throughout the study. The strength of this suicide 
classification system is in its ability to comprehensively identify suicidal events while limiting 
the over-identification of suicidal behavior. The scale takes approximately 5 minutes to 
administer. The C-SSRS will be administered by a trained rater at the site. 
This study will utilize 2 versions of the C-SSRS. At the screening visit, the “Baseline/Screening” 
version will be completed; for all subsequent visits, the “Since Last Visit” version of the C-SSRS 
will be administered.

Subjects who answer “yes” to “suicidal ideation” item 4 (active suicidal ideation with some 
intent to act, without specific plan) or item 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and 
intent) on the C-SSRS assessment at Screening (in the past month) must be referred to the 
Investigator for follow-up evaluation. 
11.4.2.2. Cocaine Selective Severity Assessment (CSSA) 
The CSSA (Kampman-1998) is a clinician-administered scale designed to evaluate withdrawal 
signs and symptoms related to stimulants over the past 24 hours. It takes approximately 
10 minutes to administer the 18-item scale. 
Included in the CSSA are those symptoms most often associated with early cocaine abstinence, 
including change in appetite, depression, fatigue, anhedonia, anxiety, irritability, sleep 
disturbance, and inability to concentrate, paranoia, carbohydrate craving, bradycardia, and 
suicidality. The CSSA is scored as follows: cocaine craving scores are obtained by having 
subjects record the highest intensity and frequency of cocaine craving experienced during the 
preceding 24 hours using visual analog scales. All items except item 14, are scored 0 to 7 
according to instructions on the CSSA generally with 0 = no symptoms and 7 = maximum score 
on any individual item. Item 14 is scored 0 to 8 with 0 = no symptoms and 8 = maximum score. 
Heart rate is determined by radial pulse measurement. 
On non-clinic days, the CSSA will be completed by site staff during a call to the subject. 
In order to complete the visual analog scale (VAS) portion of the CSSA on days when there are 
no scheduled clinic visits, subjects will be provided with copies of the VAS in advance, and will 
record their response at the time of scale administration. 
In order to complete the radial pulse portion of the CSSA on days when there are no scheduled 
clinic visits, subjects will measure their own radial pulse and provide the measurement to the site 
staff over the phone. 
For consistency of radial pulse measurements, subjects also will take their own radial pulse for 
the CSSA completed during in-clinic visits. 
11.4.2.3. Discontinuation-Emergent Signs and Symptoms (DESS) Scale 
The DESS Scale (Rosenbaum-1998) is a clinician-rated instrument of 43 items used to evaluate 
signs and symptoms associated with discontinuation or interruption of monoamine reuptake 
inhibitor treatment. 
On non-clinic days, the DESS Scale will be completed by site staff during a call to the subject. 
11.4.2.4. Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) 
The HAM-A will be use to evaluate changes in severity of anxiety during the study medication 
withdrawal period. See Section 11.3.4. 
11.4.2.5. Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) 
The MADRS will be use to evaluate changes in severity of anxiety during the study medication 
withdrawal period. See Section 11.3.3.

Pharmacokinetic Assessments 
The plasma concentrations for dasotraline will be determined using a validated bioanalytical 
method. PK samples collected from placebo subjects will not be analyzed. The relationship 
between dasotraline plasma concentration and the primary and selected secondary efficacy and 
safety endpoints will be evaluated. 
Plasma samples collected from the study could be utilized for relevant exploratory research work 
such as further method development and metabolic profiling and identification. 
Blood samples for PK assessments should be collected at the same time as other blood samples, 
whenever possible. 
The dates and times of the previous 3 doses of study drug prior to PK blood sample collection 
are to be recorded in the CRF. 
11.6. 
Collection of Blood Samples for Biomarker Analysis 
A blood sample will be collected to evaluate biomarkers associated with eating disorders to be 
determined in relationship to the severity of BED and response to dasotraline at a later date in the 
development program. 
Plasma/serum samples collected for biomarker concentration analysis may also be used for the 
additional characterization of and/or bioanalytical method development for dasotraline. 
11.7. 
Collection of Specimens for Genetic Analysis 
A blood sample will be collected from subjects who provide a separate informed consent for 
pharmacogenomics (PGx) analysis for potential evaluation of associations between genetic 
polymorphisms such as, but not limited to Taq1DRD2, OPRM1, and DRD4-7R, and the severity 
of BED, the clinical response to dasotraline, in addition to the safety, efficacy, and PK profiles of 
dasotraline to be conducted at a later date in the development program. 
Pharmacogenetic sampling and sample handling guidelines are provided in Section 24, 
Appendix V. Pharmacogenetic blood samples will be shipped in anonymized fashion to a 
qualified central laboratory for processing. Processing will include extraction of 
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genetic material. The DNA material will be stored for no more 
than 15 years, unless a written request for destruction of the sample is provided by a subject to 
the site at which the subject participated in the Sunovion-sponsored dasotraline clinical trial. 
Subjects must provide a written request requesting destruction of their genetic sample to the 
study site at which they participated in a Sunovion-sponsored clinical trial. The request will be 
sent to the Sponsor for processing using the study subject number identifier. The Sponsor will 
identify the sample using the study subject number and instruct the central laboratory to destroy 
the stored anonymized sample corresponding to the study subject number. Upon destruction of 
the sample, the Sponsor will provide written documentation to the site that the sample has been 
destroyed. Genetic information obtained from individual subjects (including genotype 
information) will be stored in anonymized fashion in the Sponsor’s pharmacogenetic database. 
When reported, the data will not include any subject-level identifying information and will 
reflect anonymized information regarding subject characteristics.

SAFETY REPORTING 
12.1. 
Definitions 
12.1.1. 
Adverse Events 
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in 
humans, whether or not considered drug related. 
Untoward medical occurrences that occur between the time of signing the informed consent form 
(ICF) and first drug administration are pre-treatment events. Those that occur after first 
administration of study drug are considered AEs. 
An AE can, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom, or disease occurring after the administration of a medicinal (investigational) 
product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal (investigational) product. AEs may 
include the onset of new illness and the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions. AEs will be 
collected from after first administration of study drug to the last study visit. 
Lack of efficacy may be an expected potential outcome and should not be reported as an AE 
unless the event is unusual in some way. 
New signs and symptoms of underlying disease, or signs and symptoms of emerging disease 
must be recorded as AEs. 
The Investigator should attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, symptoms, 
and/or other clinical information. In such cases, the diagnosis should be documented as the AE 
and not the individual signs/symptoms. 
12.1.2. 
Serious Adverse Events 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that meets one or more of the following criteria: 
• Results in death. 
• Is life-threatening. 
• Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 
• Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity. 
• Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect. 
• Is an important medical event that may jeopardize the subject or may require a 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. 
Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do 
not result in inpatient hospitalization. 
The term “severe” is often used to describe the severity of a specific event (as in mild, moderate, 
or severe myocardial infarction) (see Section 12.3); the event itself, however, may be of 
relatively minor medical significance (such as severe headache). This is not the same as 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
74 
17 Nov 2017 
“serious,” which is based on subject/event outcome or action criteria usually associated with 
events that pose a threat to a subject's life or functioning as defined by the criteria above. 
During the study, if a subject has a hospitalization or procedure (eg, elective surgery) that was 
scheduled before the study entry, ie, before informed consent for an event/condition that 
occurred before the study, the hospitalization is considered a therapeutic intervention and not the 
result of a SAE. However, if the event/condition worsens during the study, it should be reported 
as an AE (or SAE, if the event/condition results in a serious outcome such as prolongation of 
hospitalization). 
Life-threatening means that the subject was, in the view of the Investigator, at immediate risk of 
death from the event as it occurred. This definition does not include an event that had it occurred 
in a more severe form might have caused death. 
SAE criteria information will be captured on the case report form (CRF). 
12.2. 
Objective Findings 
Clinically significant abnormal objective findings (eg, clinical laboratory value, ECG value, and 
physical examination observation) will also be recorded as AEs. 
When a clear diagnosis is available that explains the objective findings, this diagnosis will be 
recorded as the AE, and not the abnormal objective finding (eg, viral hepatitis will be recorded as 
the AE, not transaminase elevation). If a definite diagnosis is not available, then record the sign 
(eg, clinically significant elevation of transaminase levels) or symptom (eg, abdominal pain) as 
the AE. 
Clinical laboratory test results will be reviewed by the Investigator. The Investigator must 
determine the clinical significance of all out of range values. Clinical laboratory test with 
possibly drug-related or clinically relevant abnormal values of uncertain causality may be 
repeated. Any abnormal values that persist should be followed at the discretion of the 
Investigator. Laboratory reports will be initialed and dated on all pages by the Investigator. 
• Clinical Laboratory Tests Outside the Normal Range: Any value outside the normal 
range will be flagged for the attention of the Investigator or appropriate designee at 
the study center. The Investigator or appropriate designee will indicate whether or not 
the value is of clinical significance. If the result of any test (or repeat test, if done) 
from the samples taken during Screening is indicated as clinically significant and is 
not covered by the inclusion or exclusion criteria in Section 8, the subject will not be 
allowed into the study. Additional testing during the study may be done if medically 
indicated. If a clinically significant abnormality is found in the samples taken after 
dosing, during the study, and/or during the withdrawal period this should be recorded 
as an AE and the subject will be followed until the test(s) has (have) normalised or 
stabilised. 
All on-site ECG tracings and ECG over-read reports will be reviewed by the Investigator. The 
Investigator must determine the clinical significance of all abnormal ECGs. ECG with possibly 
drug-related or clinically relevant abnormal findings of uncertain causality may be repeated. Any 
abnormal ECGs that persist should be followed at the discretion of the Investigator. ECG 
tracings will be initialed and dated on all pages by the Investigator.

12.3. 
Collection and Recording of Adverse Events 
All pre-treatment events and AEs must be recorded in the subject’s study records/source 
documents in accordance with the Investigator’s normal clinical practice. All pre-treatment 
events and AEs/all AEs must be recorded on the CRF. 
All AEs will be followed until resolution, stabilization of the condition, the event is otherwise 
explained, or the subject is lost to follow-up. 
Each AE is to be evaluated for duration, severity, frequency, seriousness, action taken with the 
study treatment, outcome, and causal relationship to the study treatment. Definitions for severity, 
frequency, action taken with the study treatment, outcome, and causal relationship to the study 
treatment are presented below. 
The severity of AE: 
• Mild – Ordinarily transient symptoms that do not influence performance of subject’s 
daily activities. Other treatment is not ordinarily indicated. 
• Moderate – Marked symptoms sufficient to make the subject uncomfortable. 
Moderate influence on performance of subject’s daily activities. Other treatment may 
be necessary. 
• Severe – Symptoms cause considerable discomfort. Substantial influence on subject’s 
daily activities. May be unable to continue the study, and other treatment may be 
necessary. 
The frequency of AE: 
• Once – an isolated episode. 
• Intermittent – occurs on two or more separate occasions. 
• Continuous – does not abate from date of onset to date of resolution. 
The action taken with the study treatment: 
• Drug Interrupted – Study drug stopped temporarily. 
• Drug Withdrawn – Study drug stopped permanently. 
• Dose Not Changed 
• Not Applicable 
The outcome of the AE: 
• Recovered/Resolved 
• Recovering/Resolving 
• Not Recovered/Not Resolved 
• Recovered/Resolved with Sequelae 
• Fatal 
• Unknown

dasotraline

76 
17 Nov 2017 
The causal relationship of the AE to the study treatment:  
• Not related 
o Not related – Improbable temporal relationship and is plausibly related to 
other drugs or underlying disease. 
o Unlikely – occurred within a reasonable time frame after 
administration/discontinuation of the study medication, but there is a likely 
association of an intercurrent/underlying medical condition or other drugs. 
• Related 
o Possible – occurred in a reasonable time after study drug administration, but 
could be related to concurrent drugs or underlying disease. 
o Probable – occurred in a reasonable time after study drug administration, is 
unlikely to be attributable to concurrent drugs or underlying disease, and there 
is a plausible mechanism to implicate the study drug. 
o Definite – occurred in a reasonable time after study drug administration and 
cannot be explained by concurrent drugs or underlying disease. The adverse 
event should respond to dechallenge/rechallenge, however, this is not 
mandatory before assigning a definite causality. 
The Medical Monitor is the initial contact person for protocol related questions or discussion of 
AEs. The contact information for the Medical Monitor as well as other emergency contact 
information can be found in Table 1 of this protocol. 
12.4. 
Immediately Reportable Events 
The following medical events must be immediately reported to the Sponsor: 
• SAE 
• Pregnancy 
Emergency contact information can be found in Table 1. 
12.4.1. 
Serious Adverse Event 
If the Investigator or study center staff becomes aware of a SAE that occurs in a study subject 
after first administration of study drug through 30 days following the last dose of the study 
medication, this must be reported within 24 hours to PPD-PVG, the medical monitor, and 
Sunovion responsible physician whether considered related or unrelated to the study drug. SAEs 
must be recorded on the CRF and the data recorded should agree with that on the SAE form. 
Following the end of subject participation in the study, the Investigator or an authorized delegate 
should report SAEs “spontaneously” to the PPD-PVG if considered at least possibly related to 
the study drug. 
SAEs will be followed until resolution, loss to follow-up, stabilization of condition, or the event 
is otherwise explained.

In addition to the initial telephone notification, an initial SAE form as applicable must be 
completed and signed and sent via fax or email (see Table 1) to PPD-PVG within 1 business day 
of the Investigator or study center staff becoming aware of the event. The SAE form must be 
signed by the Investigator or appropriate designee. The Sponsor provides the SAE form used to 
report SAEs. 
The Sponsor or designee will promptly notify all study centers and Investigators of a SAE that is 
determined to be expedited to the Regulatory Authorities in accordance with applicable law(s) 
and regulation(s). These SAEs must be promptly reported to the Institutional Review Board 
(IRB) by the Investigator or the appropriate person at the study center if required per IRB 
guidelines. 
12.4.2. 
Pregnancy 
Pregnancies that occur from the time that informed consent is signed through 30 days following 
the last dose of the study medication will be collected and reported on the Pregnancy Event Form. 
If a subject becomes pregnant during the course of the study, she will be instructed to 
immediately stop taking the study medication. Further, the subject will be instructed to return 
promptly/within 48 hours of the first notification of pregnancy to the research site and undergo a 
serum pregnancy test, as confirmation of pregnancy. If positive, the subject will no longer 
receive any additional study medication. All pregnancies, whether or not the subject received any 
additional study medication, will be followed until resolution (ie, termination [voluntary or 
spontaneous] or birth). 
If a pregnancy is reported for the study subject’s partner, the study subject must agree to 
complete abstinence for the duration of the study or until resolution of the pregnancy, whichever 
comes first, or discontinue study drug and withdraw from the study. If the subject chooses to 
withdraw from the study, continued abstinence is recommended for 30 days after the last dose of 
study medication. 
To report a pregnancy, the Pregnancy Event Form must be completed and sent via fax to 
PPD-PVG within 1 business day of the Investigator or study center staff becoming aware of the 
pregnancy. The Sponsor provides the Pregnancy Event Form. 
If the subject received blinded study medication, unblinding of the study medication will be 
offered to the subject when knowledge of such treatment may have an impact on further 
treatment decisions. Otherwise, information regarding to what treatment the subject was assigned 
may be provided when the study has ended. 
Pregnancy itself is not regarded as an AE unless there is a suspicion that the study drug may have 
interfered with the effectiveness of a contraceptive medication or other AEs were detected. 
12.5. 
Data Monitoring Committee/Data and Safety Monitoring Board 
The Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will monitor safety throughout the study (and 
may review blinded, partially blinded, or unblinded data). The DSMB will be independent of the 
Sponsor, CRO, and the Investigators and will be empowered to recommend stopping the study 
due to safety concerns but not for efficacy or futility. The membership of the DSMB and its 
mandate will be described in a separate DSMB charter.

STUDY TERMINATION 
The Sponsor reserves the right to discontinue the study at this study center or at multiple centers 
for safety or administrative reasons at any time while safeguarding that early termination does 
not compromise subjects’ safety or well-being. In particular, a study center that does not recruit 
at an acceptable rate may be closed. Should the study be terminated and/or the study center 
closed for whatever reason, all documentation and study medications pertaining to the study 
must be returned to the Sponsor or its representative. 
If, in the opinion of the Investigator, clinical observations suggest it may be unsafe to continue, 
the Investigator may terminate part or the entire study at his or her site after consultation with the 
Sponsor. 
In the event of study or site termination, subjects will be asked to return to the site and complete 
the EOT visit assessments (Section 11.8.9) as soon as possible after discontinuation of study 
drug.

STATISTICS 
The Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) will provide details on the statistical methods planned for 
this study and will be finalized before data base lock. 
15.1. 
Sample Size  
The sample size for this study was estimated based on 2 hypotheses associated with the primary 
efficacy endpoint (change from baseline in number of binge days per week at Week 12). A fixed 
sequence closed testing procedure was used to adjust for 2 comparisons of dasotraline doses vs 
placebo (ie, with dasotraline 6 mg vs placebo tested first and dasotraline 4 mg vs placebo tested 
after if the previous one is significant at the 0.05 level ) for the sample size justification. Based 
on the Study SEP360-221 results, assuming a common standard deviation (SD) of 1.75 and a 
mean improvement of 0.9 (effect size 0.517) and 0.8 (effect size 0.457) over placebo for change 
from baseline in number of binge days per week at Week 12 for dasotraline 6 mg/day and 
4 mg/day doses, respectively, a sample size of 96 subjects per treatment group will provide at 
least 85% conjunctive power to reject both null hypotheses. An upward adjustment of 
approximately 40% is assumed to compensate for subjects who are randomized but discontinue 
from the study, thus, a total sample of 480 subjects (160 subjects per group) will be randomized 
with a ratio of 1:1:1 for placebo, and dasotraline 4 mg/day and 6 mg/day, respectively. The 
sample size calculation was based on Monte Carlo simulation from EAST 6.4. 
15.2. 
Statistical Hypotheses 
The hypotheses associated with the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints will be tested 
using a testing procedure in Section 15.4.1.4. 
Primary Hypotheses 
In adults with moderate to severe BED, after 12 weeks of treatment,  
• Dasotraline 6 mg/day reduces change from baseline in the number of binge days per 
week relative to placebo 
• Dasotraline 4 mg/day reduces change from baseline in the number of binge days per 
week relative to placebo  
Key Secondary Hypotheses 
In adults with moderate to severe BED, after 12 weeks of treatment, 6 mg/day dasotraline or both 
doses of dasotraline: 
• Reduce change from baseline in BE-CGI-S score relative to placebo 
• Provide a greater proportion of subjects with a 4-week cessation from binge eating at 
Week 12 relative to placebo 
• Reduce change from baseline in Y-BOCS-BE total score relative to placebo

Analysis Populations 
Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: All randomized subjects who receive at least one dose of study 
medication and have at least 1 post-baseline result in any efficacy evaluation. The ITT 
population is the primary population for efficacy analyses, ie, unless otherwise specified, all 
efficacy analyses will be based on ITT population. 
Per-Protocol (PP) Population: All ITT subjects who have no major protocol violations that may 
affect the interpretation of the primary efficacy endpoint. 
The PP population will be used to assess robustness of the primary efficacy analysis. Major 
protocol violations and the PP population will be determined through a blinded data review 
meeting and identified prior to the database lock. 
Subjects in the ITT and PP populations will be analyzed based on the treatment to which they are 
randomized. 
Double-blind (DB) Safety Population: All randomized subjects who receive at least one dose of 
study medication. 
The DB Safety population mainly will be used for the data analyses of the safety data collected 
through Week 12 or during the treatment period. Subjects will be analyzed based on the 
predominant treatment received, in the event that a subject receives a treatment other than the 
one to which he or she is randomized. The predominant treatment is defined as the treatment (ie, 
placebo, dasotraline 4 mg/day, or dasotraline 6 mg/day) to which the subject is exposed for the 
greatest duration during the treatment period. The predominant treatment will generally be the 
same as the randomized treatment group, unless the subject takes incorrect study medication 
during the entire study. 
Withdrawal Safety Population: The Withdrawal safety population includes all randomized 
subjects who receive at least one dose of study medication, and either discontinue the study drug 
during the treatment period before the Week 12 visit or complete the 12-week treatment period 
but do not enter the extension study (Study SEP360-322), and have at least one assessment after 
the last dose of study medication for any safety or efficacy evaluation. The Withdrawal safety 
population mainly will be used to summarize the assessments collected in the withdrawal period. 
15.4. 
Data Analysis 
All statistical inference analyses will be performed with 2-sided tests at a significance level of 
0.05, and 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be calculated whenever appropriate. All 
data will be summarized by treatment group and visit as appropriate. All subject data will be 
presented in data listings by subject. 
15.4.1. 
Efficacy Analyses 
15.4.1.1. Assessments from Binge Eating Diary 
The number of binge days per week at each assessment timepoint will be derived based on 
clinician review of the binge eating diary collected in the time intervals as follows: 
• Baseline: binge eating diary completed for 14 consecutive days immediately prior to 
the Baseline visit and starting no sooner than the day after the screening visit; 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00 
 
dasotraline 
Confidential and Proprietary 
83 
17 Nov 2017 
• Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4 (ie, Visits 3, 4, 5, and 6): binge eating diary collected at each 
visit, which will span from the previous visit to the current visit and therefore cover 
Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively; 
• Weeks 6, 8, 10 and 12 (ie, Visits 7, 8, 9, and 10): binge eating diary collected at each 
visit, which will span from the previous visit to the current visit and therefore cover 
Weeks 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, and 11/12, respectively. 
Specifically, the number of binge eating days per week at baseline is calculated as the number of 
binge eating days in the 14 days immediately prior to the Baseline visit multiplied by 7 and 
divided by the number of days in the Baseline period (ie, 14 days); the number of binge days per 
week in a visit that spans between 2 scheduled visits is calculated as (total number of binge 
days) x 7 / (total number of assessed days in the visit span). If missing diary entries exist during 
an assessed period for a subject, the available non-missing diaries from the subject will be used 
to derive the number of binge days per week adjusted by the number of non-missing diary days 
accordingly. 
15.4.1.2. Primary Efficacy Endpoint Analyses 
The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline in the number of binge days per week 
at Week 12. 
15.4.1.2.1. Primary Efficacy Analyses 
The primary efficacy analyses of the primary efficacy endpoint (the change from baseline in the 
number of binge days per week at Week 12) will be performed using a likelihood-based mixed 
model for repeated measures (MMRM). The response (dependent) variable is the change from 
baseline in the number of binge days per week assessed at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. 
Specifically, the MMRM model includes fixed effects terms for treatment, visit (as a categorical 
variable), pooled center, baseline binge days category (stratification factor; refer to Section 7.2.1 
for categories), the number of binge days per week at baseline, and treatment-by-visit interaction. 
Restricted maximum likelihood estimation method will be applied using an unstructured 
covariance model. The Kenward Roger approximation will be used to estimate denominator 
degrees of freedom. In case of a failure of convergence with the unstructured covariance, the 
following structures may be assessed in a sequential order: heterogeneous Toeplitz, Toeplitz, and 
spatial exponential covariance pattern model. Of the above 3 covariance structures, the first 
covariance structure yielding convergence in the MMRM model will be used for the MMRM 
analysis. The spatial exponential model is selected for the analysis of data with unequally spaced 
time points. The LS mean treatment differences (each dasotraline group minus placebo group) of 
change from baseline at Week 12, their 2-sided 95% CIs, and the associated p-values will be 
calculated based on this model. 
The normality assumption underlying the primary MMRM model will be assessed graphically. 
Conditional studentized and scaled residuals will be plotted against the predicted values, 
respectively, and Q-Q (quantile-quantile) plots of these residuals versus the expected quantiles of 
the standard normal distribution will be presented to provide a graphical view of similarity and 
difference in the two distributions. Cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the primary 
endpoint will be also provided by treatment group.

The primary efficacy analysis will be repeated for the PP population to examine the impact of 
premature dropouts and/or protocol deviations. 
15.4.1.2.2. Supportive Analyses  
The primary efficacy endpoint also will be analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) 
model and the last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach, as a supportive analysis. The 
model will include terms for treatment, pooled center, baseline binge days category (stratification 
factor), and the number of binge days per week at baseline as covariates. 
15.4.1.2.3. Sensitivity Analyses  
To address early dropouts under the assumption of missing not at random (MNAR), a pattern-
mixture model using a placebo-based multiple imputation method and a pattern mixture model 
using multiple imputations with penalties (ie, deflating the individually estimated treatment 
effect size by known factors) will be performed as sensitivity analyses to explore the robustness 
of the MMRM results for the primary analysis. In case of a deviation from the assumptions 
required for the primary analysis, to confirm the robustness of the primary analysis result, 
2 additional sensitivity analyses will be performed: (1) permutation test: fit a large number of 
datasets based on a same MMRM for the primary analysis with randomly assigning pseudo-
treatment group designations; (2) generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) analysis: fit count 
data over time (ie, number of binge days among number of assessed days at each period) based 
on a binomial distribution. The details of these sensitivity analyses will be outlined in the SAP. 
15.4.1.3. Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints Analyses 
The key secondary efficacy endpoints involved in the hypothesis testing of each dasotraline dose 
(4 mg/day and 6 mg/day) versus placebo include change from baseline at Week 12 in BE-CGI-S 
score and Y-BOCS-BE total score, and percent of subjects with a 4-week cessation from binge 
eating. If a subject is early terminated in the double-blind treatment period prior to collection of 
28 days of diary data or the subject has missing diary data in the last 28 days prior to 
Week 12/EOT the subject will be counted as having no cessation. 
Continuous key secondary variables (ie, change in BE-CGI-S score and Y-BOCS-BE total score) 
will be analyzed with an MMRM model similar to the primary efficacy analysis 
(Section 15.4.1.2.1) adjusted with the corresponding baseline. The LS mean treatment 
differences (each dasotraline group minus placebo) of change from baseline at Week 12, their 
2-sided 95% CIs, and the associated p-values will be calculated based on the model. 
Categorical secondary efficacy endpoints (ie, percent of subjects with a 4-week cessation from 
binge eating) will be analyzed using a logistic regression model with treatment, baseline binge 
days category (stratification factor; refer to Section 7.2.1 for categories), and baseline number of 
binge days per week as covariate using a LOCF approach based on the ITT population. The odds 
ratios, their 2-sided 95% CIs, and the associated p-values for each dasotraline group over the 
placebo group will be derived from the model. 
Additional supportive and sensitivity analyses may be conducted as needed for the key 
secondary endpoints to address early dropouts or potential deviation from the model 
assumption(s).To address early dropouts or potential deviation from the model assumption(s), 
supportive and sensitivity analyses similar to those described in Section 15.4.1.2.3 may be

conducted as needed for the continuous key secondary endpoints. For the categorical key 
secondary endpoint, supportive and sensitivity analyses, such as a GLMM analysis with random 
effect(s) and a pattern-mixture model using placebo-based multiple imputations, may be 
conducted as appropriate. The details will be provided in the SAP. 
15.4.1.4. Multiplicity Adjustment 
To control the overall type I error rate strongly at 5% for the primary and key secondary 
endpoints, for the hypotheses to be tested (see Section 15.2), a sequential testing strategy will be 
used. Following the fixed sequence closed testing procedure in Figure 2, testing will only 
proceed conditional on the statistical significance of the test(s) of prior level(s) at a 2-sided 5% 
significance level. See Section 15.2 for details about the definition of statistical hypotheses.

• Change from baseline in number of binge episodes per week at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 
10, and 12 
• Change from baseline in BE-CGI-S score at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 
• Change from baseline in Y-BOCS-BE total score at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 and 
subscale scores (obsessions and compulsions) at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12

Continuous variables (ie, change in number of binge days per week, number of binge episodes 
per week, BE-CGI-S, Y-BOCS-BE total score, and SDS total score and subscale scores) will be 
analyzed using an MMRM model similar to the primary efficacy analysis (Section 15.4.1.2.1) 
adjusting for the corresponding baseline. Other continuous variables (eg, change in EDE-Q7 
global score and subscale scores) will be analyzed using an ANCOVA model similar to the 
supportive analysis for the primary efficacy endpoint (Section 15.4.1.2.2), adjusting for the 
corresponding baseline as a covariate. 
The proportion of binge eating responders at Week 12 will be analyzed using a logistic 
regression model and LOCF approach with factors of treatment, pooled center, baseline binge 
days category (stratification factor), and baseline number of binge episodes per week as 
covariate. For subjects who are discontinued, binge eating responders at Week 12 LOCF is 
defined per the last post-baseline time period during the treatment period that binge diary is 
assessed. To ensure that the logistic regression model is feasible, pooled center may be removed 
from the analysis model if some pooled center has no responder either because of a small number 
of subjects in the pooled center or subjects experiencing little change. As a supportive analysis, 
the proportion of binge eating responders over time will be analyzed by an inverse probability 
weighting (IPW) Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model. The details will be provided 
in the SAP. 
In addition, the number and percentage of subjects in the following categories for reduction in 
the number of binge eating episodes from baseline will be summarized over time by treatment: 
• cessation (defined as 100% reduction) 
• 99% to 75% reduction 
• 74% to 50% reduction 
• other 
15.4.1.6. Subgroup Analyses 
The primary efficacy variable (the change from baseline in the number of binge days per week at 
Week 12) and a key secondary variable (ie, change from baseline in BE-CGI-S at Week 12) will 
be examined to explore the consistency of the treatment effect across certain subgroups at 
Week 12. Subgroups, including but not limited to gender, race and age group, will be detailed in 
the SAP. For each subgroup, subgroup analysis will be conducted based on a similar MMRM 
model to the corresponding primary efficacy analysis with 3 additional terms: subgroup, 
treatment-by-subgroup interaction, and 3-way interaction of treatment*subgroup*visit. Summary 
statistics with 95% CIs will be provided by treatment group within each subgroup, as well. 
15.4.2. 
Safety Analyses 
Safety data including AEs, laboratory values, ECG, vital signs, weight, C-SSRS, and other 
assessments will be analyzed by treatment group based on the DB Safety population (for data up 
to the end of treatment period) and Withdrawal safety population (for data collected during the 
withdrawal period), separately, as appropriate.

Study Monitoring 
This study will be monitored from initiation to completion by the Sponsor or its representative. 
Monitoring will include personal visits and telephone communication to assure that the 
investigation is conducted according to protocol and in order to comply with International 
Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP). On-site review of CRFs will 
include a review of forms for completeness and clarity, and consistency with source documents 
available for each subject. 
16.4. 
Audits 
The study may be subject to audit by the Sponsor/designee. If such an audit occurs, the 
Investigator must agree to allow access to required subject records. This is dependent on the 
subject granting consent by signing the ICF. By signing this protocol, the Investigator grants 
permission to personnel from the Sponsor or its representatives for on-site monitoring and 
auditing of all appropriate study documentation, as well as on-site review of the procedures 
employed in CRF generation, where clinically appropriate. 
In accordance with ICH GCP the Sponsor may select this study for audit. During the audit the 
Sponsor representative will carry out an inspection of center facilities (eg, pharmacy, drug 
storage areas, laboratory) and review study related records in order to evaluate the study 
compliance with the Sponsor/center standard operating procedures (SOPs), protocol, ICH GCP, 
and local regulations. The principal investigator (PI) or appropriate designee must also agree to 
inspection of all study documents by the regulatory authorities and the IRB. Should the PI or 
appropriate designee be notified of a regulatory inspection involving this study they should 
notify the Sponsor immediately. 
16.5.

The Investigator will conduct all aspects of the study in accordance with applicable local law(s) 
and regulation(s). 
The Investigator will assure proper implementation and conduct of the study including those 
study-related duties delegated to other appropriately qualified individuals. The Investigator will 
assure that study staff cooperate with monitoring and audits. 
The Investigator must sign and return to Sponsor/CRO the “Investigator Approval” page. 
The Investigator must provide a copy of current curriculum vitae (including a copy of a current 
medical license, current Drug Enforcement Agency [DEA] license, where applicable), and 
financial disclosure information. In countries where medical licensure is not issued, the 
following documentation is acceptable, as applicable: 
• Registration number/stamp with a registration number stated on curriculum vitae. 
• Appropriate diploma number stated on curriculum vitae. 
• Copy of the diploma. 
The Investigator must sign and return a completed Form FDA 1572 “Statement of Investigator” 
to Sponsor/CRO. 
17.2. 
Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee 
Documented approval for conducting the study from appropriate Institutional Review Board 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) will be obtained for all participating study centers 
prior to initiation of the study, according to ICH GCP, applicable local law(s) and regulation(s). 
When necessary, an extension, amendment or renewal of the IRB/IEC approval must be obtained 
and also forwarded to the Sponsor. The IRB/IEC must supply the Sponsor a list of the IRB/IEC 
membership, and a statement to confirm that the IRB/IEC is organized and operates according to 
ICH GCP, applicable law(s) and regulation(s). 
A copy of written IRB/IEC approval or favorable opinion of the protocol, informed consent form 
and subject recruitment material (if applicable) must be provided to Sponsor/CRO prior to start 
of the study. The approval or favorable opinion letter must be signed by the IRB/IEC chairman 
or designee identify the IRB/IEC name and address, identify the clinical protocol by title and/or 
protocol number, and include the date that approval or favorable opinion was granted. The letter 
must also contain a statement that the IRB/IEC complies with the requirements in 
21 CFR Part 56 for a study conducted under a US IND or ICH GCP, as applicable. 
The Investigator/CRO is responsible for obtaining from the IRB/IEC continued review of the 
clinical research or submitting periodic progress reports, in accordance with applicable 
regulations, at intervals not to exceed one year and (if applicable) as otherwise additionally 

Protocol SEP360-321, Version 3.00

specified by the IRB/IEC. The Sponsor must be supplied with written documentation of 
continued review of the clinical research. 
The Investigator must promptly inform their IRB/IEC of all SAEs reported by subjects enrolled 
in the study or other safety information reported from Sponsor/CRO in accordance with 
applicable law(s) and regulation(s). 
17.3. 
Informed Consent 
The informed consent form will be approved by the Sponsor/CRO prior to submission to the 
IRB/IEC. The Sponsor/CRO may provide a template informed consent form to be qualified by 
each research facility to conform to local requirements. All informed consent forms must contain 
the minimum elements as mandated by ICH GCP, applicable local law(s) and regulations and 
will be subject to Sponsor/CRO approval as well as IRB/IEC approval. The Sponsor/CRO may 
submit informed consent forms to a central IRB/IEC for review and approval or favorable 
opinion contingent upon prior Investigator permission and review. 
Before recruitment and enrollment, each prospective subject will be given a full explanation of 
the study, allowed to read the approved informed consent form and be provided ample time and 
the opportunity to ask any questions that may arise. Once all questions have been answered and 
the Investigator is assured that the prospective subject understands the implications of 
participating in the study, the prospective subject will be asked to give consent to participate in 
the study by signing the informed consent form. As part of the consent process, each prospective 
subject must consent to direct access to his/her medical records for study-related monitoring, 
auditing, IRB/IEC review, and regulatory inspection. It should be clearly explained to each 
prospective subject that participation in each and every clinical visit and assessment is expected. 
The subject may be discontinued from study medication, but that does not necessarily negate the 
expectation that the subject will continue to participate in the study through the final 
visit/assessment. The Investigator will provide a copy of the signed informed consent form to 
each subject, and will record the date of the informed consent on the CRF. 
If an amendment to the protocol changes the subject participation schedule in scope or activity, 
or if important new information becomes available that may be relevant to the subject’s consent, 
the informed consent form must be revised, submitted to the IRB/IEC for review and approval or 
favorable opinion. The revised informed consent form must be used to obtain consent from a 
subject currently enrolled in the study if he or she is affected by the amendment. The revised 
informed consent form must be used to obtain consent from any new subjects who are enrolled 
into the study after the date of the approval or favorable opinion of the protocol amendment. 
17.4. 
Subject Privacy 
The Sponsor (or Sponsor representative) or any designees affirm uphold the subjects 
confidentiality. The subject will be identified by unique code only; full names will be masked 
prior to transmission to the Sponsor. The confidentiality of the subject’s personal data shall be 
protected in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations. 
If any cases are identified where the subject’s confidentiality has been breached, this must be 
rectified immediately. All subject identifiable information should be removed and the Sponsor 
notified.

Protocol Amendments and Emergency Deviations 
All revisions and/or amendments to this protocol must be approved in writing by the Sponsor 
and the appropriate IRB/IEC. The Investigator will not make any changes to the conduct of the 
study or the protocol without first obtaining written approval from the Sponsor and the IRB/IEC, 
except where necessary to eliminate an apparent immediate hazard to a study subject. 
Emergency deviations or modifications may be initiated without Sponsor or IRB/IEC approval or 
favorable opinion, only in cases where the deviation or modification is necessary to eliminate or 
avoid an immediate apparent hazard to subjects. Emergency deviations or modifications must be 
reported to the Sponsor/CRO and the IRB/IEC immediately/within 5 business days of the 
occurrence, or in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. 
17.6. 
Records Retention 
The Investigator/the study center must arrange for retention of study records at the study center 
for at least 15 years from time of participation in the study or longer in accordance with 
applicable regulations and Sponsor SOPs. The Investigator/site should take measures to prevent

APPENDIX VII. ABUSE POTENTIAL MONITORING PLAN 
Overview of Abuse Potential Monitoring Plan 
Dasotraline is a new chemical entity being investigated for the treatment of Binge Eating 
Disorder (BED). Dasotraline is a diastereomer of the major metabolite of sertraline but is not a 
metabolite of sertraline, nor is it converted to the demethylated metabolite of sertraline in vivo. 
Dasotraline is a potent inhibitor of the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE), and 
dopamine (DA) via the respective transporters SERT, NET, and DAT, with preferential 
inhibition of the dopamine transporter (DAT) and norepinephrine transporter (NET) relative to 
the serotonin transporter (SERT) without significant off-target activities. Clinical studies 
demonstrated central SERT occupancies in healthy subjects well below those attained at DAT, in 
addition decreases in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) were observed, indicating central NET 
inhibition. This pharmacological profile warrants the implementation of an Abuse Potential 
Monitoring Plan, which surpasses the clinical monitoring, and adverse event (AE) reporting 
historically implemented in development programs for SSRIs. 
The Abuse Potential Monitoring Plan (APMP) for dasotraline has been designed to detect 
potential abuse of the compound and to more closely monitor AEs consistent with the 
pharmacology. The plan will detect irregularities in the handling of dasotraline in clinical trials 
and identify the misuse of dasotraline or other psychoactive substances. Moreover, the APMP 
provides a process by which events subject to additional monitoring are identified, processed, 
and reviewed. Events subject to additional monitoring were identified based on the 
pharmacology of dasotraline, as well as adverse event profiles of compounds with similar 
mechanisms of action.

The purpose of this procedure is to capture information about all medication-handling 
irregularities that meet the predefined threshold criteria. All instances meeting the medication 
irregularity threshold criteria will require a clinical risk assessment by the Investigator with 
classification of the nature of the irregularity. The Investigator will be required to complete 
Attachment A, the Medication Handling Irregularity (MHI) form in these situations. 
For clinical trials utilizing dasotraline, we define the threshold criteria for medication 
irregularities as any one of the following: 
• 10% or more of dispensed drug is either used in excess of prescribed dose or is 
unaccounted for; and/or 
• Suspected abuse or diversion of dasotraline; and/or 
• Suspected abuse of any other substance including alcohol, illicit substances, and 
over-the-counter (OTC) medications or prescription drugs.

Instances of Medication Irregularity 
For all instances where the predefined threshold criteria are met covering medication 
irregularities, the Investigator must complete the Medication Handling Irregularity (MHI) form 
(Attachment A) and fax to the contact provided within 3 business days of its occurrence or 
discovery every time a threshold medication handling irregularity occurs. The contact will fax 
the completed MHI form to Sunovion within 1 business day of receipt and determine whether 
further action is warranted (ie, discontinuation of subject due to noncompliance with study 
protocol, education of the subject, etc.). Attachment B displays the process flow for handling 
medication irregularities. Any instance of medication irregularity may further be classified as an 
event subject to additional monitoring (ESAM). 
The management of documented medication handling irregularities will be driven by the 
particular classification of the irregularity. As shown on Attachment A, items coded #1-3 
describe situations of accounting errors and/or noncompliance with study procedures without 
evidence of study medication misuse or abuse of other substances. In these instances (code #1-3 
on the MHI form), the Investigator will complete Attachment A and fax to the contact provided 
within 3 business days of knowledge of the irregularity. 
 
Suspected or Known Abuse or Diversion of Study Medication 
All cases of suspected or known abuse or diversion of study medication should be documented 
on the MHI form and coded #4. The Investigator will complete Attachment A and fax to the 
contact provided within 3 business days of knowledge of the irregularity. For all cases of 
medication irregularities coded as #4, the Investigator will attempt to obtain a urine drug screen 
from the subject, perform early termination procedures and discontinue the subject from the 
study. 
 
Suspected or Known Abuse of Alcohol or Other Substances 
The abuse of alcohol, illicit substances, OTC medication or prescription drugs while a subject is 
participating in a dasotraline clinical trial should be documented on the MHI form and coded #5. 
The Investigator will complete Attachment A and fax to the contact provided within 3 business 
days of knowledge of the irregularity. For all cases of medication irregularities coded as #5, the 
Investigator will attempt to obtain a urine drug screen from the subject, perform early 
termination procedures and discontinue the subject from the study. 
 
Event Subject to Additional Monitoring (ESAM) 
A key objective of the Abuse Potential Monitoring Plan is to monitor for instances of abuse or 
diversion of the study medication and other psychoactive substances. In addition to monitoring 
for irregularities in medication handling, AEs that may be suggestive of a developing abuse 
issue, will also receive special attention. The following adverse experiences or related signs and 
symptoms may be associated with increased risk to subjects and will require additional 
monitoring. This list is a guide as to the types of events that require additional medical 
surveillance; it is not comprehensive and other events may be identified that require similar

to be discontinued from the study.

Preparation of a Narrative for an Event Subject to Additional Monitoring (ESAM) 
To ensure clarity and completeness of information, all Events Subject to Additional Monitoring 
will require the preparation of a narrative by the Investigator. This narrative will be reviewed by 
the medical monitor/sponsor/Investigator to determine if the subject should be discontinued from 
the study. A narrative summary template will be provided to the Investigators (Attachment C). 
Handling of the Event Subject to Additional Monitoring (ESAM) 
• Investigators will report all Events Subject to Additional Monitoring with narratives 
to the Medical Monitor within 24 hours (Attachment C) 
• The medical monitor will review all ESAM in real time and forward a copy of the 
report to the sponsors’ Medical Director within one business day 
 
Urine Drug Screens 
The protocol incorporates exclusion criteria targeting individuals with a history of substance use 
disorders (eg, alcohol abuse or dependence and illicit drug abuse or dependence). The protocol 
includes urine drug screens at screening and at various post-randomization visits as well as 
providing the Investigator with the discretion to obtain random urine drug screens. Investigators 
will be directed to obtain urine drug screens in instances where there is known or suspected 
abuse of study medication and/or other substances.

APPENDIX VIII. BODY MASS INDEX DETERMINATION 
Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated by measuring the subject’s height and weight (both 
determined without subject wearing shoes) and using these measurements (in centimeters and 
kilograms) in the following formulae. 
Formula:  
BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m) ÷ height (m) 
The entries in the following table list the BMI values for males and females of a given height and 
weight. Please note this table is not inclusive of all possible height and weight combinations.
