PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS FOR C3J17-206-00 
Protocol Number: 
C3J17-206-00  
Protocol Title: 
A Phase 2, Open-Label and Single-Blind Study to Evaluate the 
Microbiology, Safety and Tolerability of C16G2 Varnish and Strip 
Administered in Multiple Doses to Adolescent and Adult Dental Subjects 
Study Design: 
An open-label and single-blind phase 2 study to evaluate the oral 
microbiology, safety and tolerability of multiple C16G2 Varnish and Strip 
applications in male and female dental subjects 12-75 years of age. 
The study will compare multiple study drug administrations of 13.6 
miligrams (mg) of C16G2 Varnish and 9.2 mg of C16G2 Strip in three 
study arms. Before dosing of study drug, eligible subjects will receive 
professional dental prophylaxis between Days -7 and -2.  
In Study Arm 1 eight subjects will be enrolled in an open-label manner and 
will receive a daily dose of C16G2 Varnish application over 3 days followed 
by 14 doses of C16G2 Strip administered over 7 days. C16G2 Varnish will 
be applied with a small brush typically used in dental varnish 
administration. Following the three C16G2 Varnish applications, each 
subject will receive 7 days of AM and PM dosing with C16G2 Strip. To 
evaluate the durability of S. mutans suppression, study subjects will be 
followed for microbiology for up to 2 months after the last study drug 
administration. 
Study Arm 2 will enroll 12 subjects in a single-blind manner. Subjects will 
receive four C16G2 Varnish or Placebo applications over 7 days (Days 0, 
2, 5 & 7), followed by 3 additional weekly varnish administrations. The 
treatment allocation will be 1:1 (6 subjects receiving C16G2 Varnish, 6 
subjects receiving Placebo). To evaluate the durability of S. mutans 
suppression, study subjects will be followed for microbiology for up to 
2 months after the last study drug administration. 
Study Arm 3 will be initiated based on the Sponsor’s review of all 
microbiology data up to two week post last study drug administration from 
Study Arm 2.  
If initiated, Study Arm 3 will enroll 6 subjects in an open-label manner. 
Subjects will receive daily single doses of C16G2 Varnish over 10 days, for 
a total of 10 doses. To evaluate the durability of S. mutans suppression, 
study subjects will be followed for microbiology for up to 2 months after the 
last study drug administration. 
Clinic visits in Study Arm 1 include Visit 1 (Screening/Days -30 to -1), 
Visit 2 (Prophylaxis/Day -7 to -2), Eligibility Confirmation, Baseline & First 
C16G2 Varnish Dosing at Visit 3, Visits 4 & 5 (C16G2 Varnish 
Administration), Visits 6-19 (AM & PM C16G2 Strip Administration), Follow-
up Visits 20 & 21 (Safety and Microbiology) and Follow-up Visits 22-24 
(Microbiology only).  
Clinic visits in Study Arm 2 include Visit 1 (Screening/Days -30 to -1),

Subjects who do not return for assessments after study drug administration 
for any reason may be replaced at the Sponsor’s discretion. Study Arms 1 
and 2 will enroll simultaneously. Enrollment into Study Arm 3 will be 
initiated based on a microbiology review of 2-week follow-up data in Study 
Arm 2.   
After confirmation of study eligibility, subjects will be enrolled in one of the 
three study arms. Determination of the study arm will be at the discretion of 
the investigator in discussion with the subject.  
Blinding/Unblinding 
Study Arms 1 and 3 will be conducted in an open-label manner. All study 
subjects, as well as the Investigator, study staff/clinicians and the 
Sponsor’s assigned team members (e.g., the Clinical Monitor and the 
Medical Monitor) will be unblinded to the treatment assignment. 
Study Arm 2 will be conducted in a single-blind placebo-controlled manner. 
All study subjects will be blinded to the treatment assignment, while the 
Investigator, study staff/clinicians and the Sponsor’s assigned team 
members (e.g., the Clinical Monitor and the Medical Monitor) will be 
unblinded as to whether subjects are receiving C16G2 Varnish or Placebo. 
C16G2 Varnish and Placebo will be packaged and labeled identical to 
ensure blinding. 
Microbiology: 
All stimulated saliva and dental plaque samples obtained in this study will 
be tested for S. mutans using mitis-salivarius bacitracin (MSB) agar plating 
and total bacteria testing using Todd Hewitt (TH) agar plating. Samples will 
be stored for S. mutans and total bacteria testing using quantitative Real-
Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) and bacterial community 
analysis. 
At the screening visit, only stimulated saliva samples will be collected and 
tested for S. mutans Colony Forming Units (CFUs) to determine the 
inclusion criterion of ≥ 1 x 105 CFU/milliliter (CFU/mL) at Screening using 
MSB agar plating. At all other visits both stimulated saliva and dental 
plaque samples will be obtained for microbiology assessments. Samples 
will be collected at the time points provided in Appendix C.  
Samples will be shipped overnight to the Sponsor’s microbiology laboratory 
for analysis. Screening S. mutans results will be provided to the study 
center within 5 days of sample receipt.  
Inclusion Criteria: 
Subjects are eligible to participate if they meet the following criteria: 
1. Males and females, 12-75 years of age 
2. Adult subjects provide written informed consent and adolescent 
subjects give written or verbal assent, as appropriate, and parent(s) or

Subject Instructions:  
Subjects enrolled in all study arms will be instructed to abstain from eating 
food and drinking beverages that contain a high sugar content (e.g., candy, 
soda with refined sugar, sugary snacks, dried fruit, fruit rolls) from 
Screening to the last day of study drug administration. While smokers are 
not excluded from study participation, subjects should abstain from using 
chewing tobacco or similar products throughout the study. 
a) Oral Hygiene Instructions  
 
Beginning at Visit 2 and during the entire study subjects will not be allowed 
to use any dental products besides the materials provided by the study 
center. Prior to attending the study center for any visit, subjects will not be 
allowed to perform oral hygiene at home. In addition, subjects will be 
advised not to use any mouth rinse for approximately 24 hours before the 
Screening visit. 
 
Prior to discharge at Visit 2 (Days -7 to -2), subjects will receive a manual 
toothbrush, a regular toothpaste containing fluoride, and dental floss 
provided by the Sponsor to take home. Subjects will be instructed to use 
these dental products in the morning and evening at home except prior to a

will be resupplied with these dental products as needed. 
 
b) Diet Instructions  
 
Subjects in all study arms will be instructed as follows:  
 
All Visits:  
• 
Do not eat for 1 hour prior to the appointment time 
• 
No liquids, other than plain water, 1 hour prior to the appointment time 
Note: Subjects will be allowed to drink water up to 10 minutes prior to 
dental plaque and saliva collection, and will be instructed not to swish 
or rinse 
Study Drug Administration Visits 
• 
Do not eat or drink anything besides plain water within 1 hour prior to 
the appointment time 
• 
Do not eat, drink anything or swish during the C16G2 strip 
administration period and for 1 hour after the removal of the strips and 
for 1 hour after the end of the application of varnish (or placebo).   
 
 
Subjects receiving C16G2 Varnish or Placebo will be supervised for 
compliance for one hour post study drug administration and will 
then be discharged.  
 
Subjects receiving C167G2 Strip will be reminded at discharge to 
not consume any food or drink anything for 1 hour after removal of 
the strips.   
Safety Monitoring: 
All subjects that receive study drug will be included in the safety analysis. 
Safety will be evaluated on the entire study population of 26 subjects. 
Subjects in all study arms will be followed for safety assessments for 
1 week after the last study drug administration. Safety monitoring will 
include vital signs, intraoral assessments of hard and soft tissues, targeted 
physical examination, and collection of adverse events (AEs) during study 
visits and unscheduled telephone contacts. 
Subjects will be instructed to inform the Investigator and/or a member of 
the study staff of any AEs that occur at any time during the study. Subjects 
will be asked a general health question at each clinic visit and with each 
unscheduled telephone contact to identify changes in their state of health 
since their last communication with the study center or their last study visit. 
All subjects will be closely monitored for safety for 1 week after the last 
administration of study drug. After that time point, all ongoing AEs will be 
followed in accordance with good medical practice until resolution or the 
condition has stabilized.

Statistical Methods: 
 
Sample Size: 
The total number of subjects planned for this study is 26 (Study Arm 1: n = 
8; Study Arm 2: n=12 (6 C16G2, 6 placebo); Study Arm 3: n=6 ). There are 
no data on which to base formal sample size calculations for this study. 
The data generated in this study will assist with ongoing clinical 
development of C16G2 Varnish and Strip. Subjects’ data in the three study 
arms will provide information on the safety and microbiology of multiple 
administrations of C16G2 Varnish and Strip. Subjects may be replaced at 
the Sponsor’s discretion. 
Data Analysis: 
Analysis Sets: There will be two analysis sets; the safety analysis set and 
the microbiology analysis set  
 
The safety analysis set will be defined as those subjects who 
received any amount of study drug  
 
The microbiology analysis set will be comprised of two subsets, the 
saliva microbiology and dental plaque microbiology subset. These 
subsets will be based on the subjects who received study drug and 
have at least one baseline and one post-baseline dental plaque and 
saliva sample, respectively. 
Safety:  
All safety-related interventions, AEs, and findings will be summarized. The 
incidence and duration of treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) will be 
summarized by study arm. An AE will be considered treatment emergent if 
the onset date and time occur on or after the recorded clock time of the 
administration of study drug. Adverse events will be coded using the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA®). The severity of 
each AE will be determined using the Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. 
All AEs will be classified by the relationship of the event to study drug and 
study procedures as 1) None, 2) Unlikely, 3) Possible or 4) Probable. All 
AEs will be followed in accordance with good medical practice until 
resolved or fully characterized. All serious AEs (SAEs) will be followed until 
the outcome is known or the subject’s condition has stabilized. 
Other safety assessments include vital signs, oral cavity assessments, and 
targeted physical exams. These safety parameters will be presented by 
study arm using descriptive statistics. 
Microbiology: All saliva and dental plaque samples will be analyzed for 
S. mutans and total bacteria present in each sample and relative to the 
different treatment regimens and schedules in the 3 study arms. Samples 
will also be tested by qRT-PCR and bacterial community analysis at 
appropriate time points based on plating assessments. Descriptive 
statistics utilizing mean, standard deviation, median and range of 
S. mutans and total bacteria at each time point for all study arms will be 
determined and compared to baseline samples.

INTRODUCTION 
Dental caries is a chronic disease of microbiological origin that affects populations worldwide. 
Caries arises from an imbalance in the indigenous microflora of the oral cavity: upon intake of 
dietary sugars (primarily sucrose), aciduric microbes produce lactic acid that damages tooth 
structure and enables these pathogenic bacteria to become dominant in the multispecies 
biofilms found on the tooth surface (known as dental plaque). The bacterium Streptococcus 
mutans (S. mutans) has been implicated in a wide body of historical and contemporary clinical 
and nonclinical data as being the major etiological agent responsible for the majority of caries 
(Loesche 1986; Tanzer, Livingston et al. 2001; Marsh 2006; Marsh 2010). Furthermore, in 
studies examining the endpoint, caries-free individuals were found to have lower S. mutans 
compared with caries-active subjects. 
Controlling caries by reducing the total bacterial load in saliva and plaque through use of broad 
spectrum antibacterial agents can, in theory, reduce caries incidence; however, there is no 
clinical evidence supporting the long-term prevention of S. mutans re-infection and very few 
studies examining the impact on caries reduction (Tong, Dong et al. 2010; Vollmer, Papas et al. 
2010; Young, Lyon et al. 2010). The reason for lack of long-term cavity protection is the 
persistence of S. mutans within the dental plaque and the dynamic balance of the biofilm 
community between a healthy state and cariogenic state. There is a need to develop a specific 
antimicrobial therapy that can substantially reduce or eliminate the primary agent of dental 
caries, S. mutans, from the oral biofilm while leaving the remaining organisms intact. If this can 
be achieved, a healthy biofilm may be established that provides long-term caries protection. 
In response to the need for a focused S. mutans reduction, a series of novel synthetic 
molecules were designed and evaluated in vitro (Eckert, R., He J., et al., 2006; Kaplan, C. W., 
Sim, J.H., et al., 2011; Li, L. N., Guo, L. H., et al, 2010). The C16G2 antimicrobial peptide was 
shown to specifically kill S. mutans, and not other oral streptococci, in both planktonic and 
saliva-derived biofilm systems. Additionally, intact S. mutans-free biofilms created by a C16G2 
intervention were resistant to colonization from exogenous S. mutans (Li, L. N., Guo, L. H., et al, 
2010; Guo, L., McLean, J.S., et al, 2015). 
Previous studies evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics and microbiology of single and multiple 
C16G2 doses formulated as a mouth rinse, gel, varnish and strip. In Study C3J17-206-00 
subjects will receive multiple C16G2 strip and/or C16G2 varnish (or placebo) administrations to 
evaluate the safety, tolerability, and microbiology of this mode of application. 
1.1 Previous Clinical Experience 
1.1.1 Phase 1 
Study C3J11-101-01, a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose escalation 
study was conducted at a single study center in the US. A total of 36 healthy adult subjects were 
enrolled, of which 24 subjects received C16G2, and 12 subjects received placebo. C16G2 was 
administered in a mouth rinse formulation as a single dose of three concentrations (4 mg 
[50 micromolar (µM)], 8 mg [100 µM] and 32 mg [400 µM]) by swishing for 40 seconds in the 
oral cavity and subsequent expectoration. 
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of C16G2 in 
healthy adult subjects and to assess the targeted antimicrobial activity of C16G2 as measured

by a reduction in the number of salivary S. mutans and to assess the bacterial composition in 
the oral cavity over 28 days post-study drug administration in healthy adult subjects. 
C16G2 was well-tolerated with no deaths and no serious or severe adverse events (AEs). No 
study drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events  (TEAEs) were reported and no subject 
was discontinued due to an AE. No clinically significant changes in vital signs were observed in 
association with the administration of C16G2. Mean values for systolic and diastolic blood 
pressure and pulse showed only small fluctuations from baseline over the entire treatment 
period, and values were similar for the C16G2 dose cohorts and the placebo cohort. No 
clinically significant findings in the oral cavity were attributable to C16G2 administration and no 
clinically significant targeted physical exam and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings were 
reported. In addition, no clinically significant out-of-range clinical laboratory findings were 
observed. Immunogenicity assessments demonstrated that single dose C16G2 administrations 
up to a dose of 32 mg did not trigger the development of antibodies against C16G2. 
C16G2 could not be detected above the lower level of quantitation (LLOQ 10 ng/mL) in any 
pharmacokinetic (PK) sample, with a single exception, which tested just above the LLOQ and 
was most likely the result of high background signal near the LLOQ. This suggests that there is 
minimal or no systemic absorption of C16G2 into the circulation after a single C16G2 
administration up to a dose of 32 mg. 
Microbiology assessments did not demonstrate an apparent reduction or increase in S. mutans 
and other bacterial species outside of the variation observed in the placebo cohort, indicating 
that single C16G2 doses formulated as a mouth rinse did not impact the oral microbiome. 
Study C3J16-V102-00, a Phase 1, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-
escalation study evaluated the safety and efficacy of single 13.6 mg, 27.2 mg, 54.4 mg C16G2 
Varnish or Placebo administrations.  
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the safety and microbiology of C16G2 Varnish 
formulation in healthy adult subjects and to assess the targeted antimicrobial activity of C16G2 
as measured by a reduction in the number of salivary S. mutans. In addition, the study 
assessed the bacterial composition in the oral cavity over 28 days post single study drug 
administration in healthy adult dental subjects. 
A total of 48 adult healthy subjects were enrolled, of which 30 subjects received C16G2 and 18 
subjects received placebo. C16G2 was well-tolerated with no deaths and no serious or severe 
AEs. No study drug-related TEAEs were reported and no subject was discontinued due to an 
AE. No clinically significant changes in vital signs were observed in association with the 
administration of C16G2. Oral cavity assessments and targeted physical exams did not indicate 
any clinically relevant changes due to study drug administration. Microbiology evaluations 
demonstrated a significant decrease in S. mutans levels in saliva and plaque samples in each 
dose level.  The 27.2 mg dose group showed the greatest decrease in S. mutans compared to 
Placebo and the other two dose groups. Total bacteria levels did not change significantly post 
study drug administration. The clinical study report for this study is currently in preparation.

1.1.2 Phase 2 
To enhance the targeted S. mutans killing activity of C16G2 in dental plaque, C3 Jian 
formulated the drug product for both mouth rinse and gel application. C3J13-201-01, a double-
blind, placebo-controlled study, evaluated different combinations of multiple C16G2 Gel and/or 
C16G2 mouth rinse administrations at two dose levels. To determine the most effective mode of 
gel application, gel was applied by manual toothbrush, SonicareTM toothbrush and upper and 
lower custom dental trays. 
A total of 60 adult healthy subjects were enrolled, of which 48 subjects received C16G2, and 
12 subjects received placebo. Subjects received study drug for 7 consecutive days and were 
followed for safety and microbiology assessments for 14 days post first study drug 
administration. The C16G2 concentrations were 3.2 mg/mL (800 µM) in gel formulation and 1.6 
mg/mL (400 µM) in liquid formulation. Clinically significant findings in the oral cavity and 
targeted physical exam were reported as AEs.  
C16G2 was well-tolerated with no deaths and no serious or severe AEs. A total of 43 TEAEs 
were reported, 38 AEs in 19 subjects receiving C16G2, 5 AEs in 3 subjects receiving placebo. 
The majority of AEs were deemed mild in severity and unrelated to study drug administration 
and study procedures. In Study Arm 3, in which subjects received gel administrations with a 
SonicareTM toothbrush, followed by a single rinse, the number of subjects with one or more AEs 
and the number of AEs was greater compared to the other three study arms. Since the majority 
of these AEs were mild irritation related to the oral cavity, use of the SonicareTM toothbrush for 
longer than recommended by the manufacturer (four minutes versus two) and the rinsing 
schedule are possible procedure-related explanations. 
Two subjects discontinued from the study due to AEs. The first subject, a 32 year old Asian 
female, was enrolled in Study Arm 1 and randomized to C16G2 study drug. She received six 
C16G2 mouth rinses on the first day of study drug administration. She subsequently developed 
a mild rash on both arms and mild pruritus on her arms and her jaw. She withdrew from the 
study the next day. Both AEs resolved within a few hours and were assessed as possibly 
related to study drug administration and study procedures by the Investigator. The second 
subject, a 22 year old Caucasian female enrolled in Study Arm 4, developed tonsillitis and 
pyrexia at the end of the treatment period (subject completed 5 of 7 study drug administration 
days). Both AEs were assessed by the Investigator as moderate in severity and unrelated to 
study drug administration and study procedures and resolved after 5 days. 
No clinically significant changes in vital signs were observed in association with administration 
of C16G2. Mean values for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse and temperature showed 
only small fluctuations from baseline over the entire treatment period, and values were similar 
for the four active C16G2 Study Arm groups and combined placebo group. 
The majority of subjects receiving C16G2 via a custom dental tray demonstrated an average 
1 log10 CFU/mL S. mutans reduction in saliva 1 day after the last 7-day study drug 
administration period and this reduction was maintained in some subjects 1 week after the last 
study drug administration, demonstrating the durability of effect for 7 days. The majority of 
subjects receiving C16G2 Gel via a manual toothbrush demonstrated an S. mutans reduction in 
occlusal dental plaque 1 day after the last 7-day study drug administration period, with fewer 
subjects having an impact in salivary S. mutans. At the end of the study, only a portion of 
subjects in the manual brush arm showed a substantial reduction in S. mutans occlusal dental 
plaque and the effect was less pronounced in saliva, indicating that the response observed on 
Day 7 may decrease over time post-treatment. Other modes of application (mouth rinse, gel 
administered via SonicareTM toothbrush) were less effective.

In the open-label study C3J14-201B-00, subjects received 400 µM and 800 µM C16G2 Gel, 
administered either by custom dental trays once daily for 5 consecutive days (Part A) or via 
manual toothbrush only compared to a combination of manual toothbrush and custom dental 
trays (Part B), with four study drug administrations on the first day of dosing followed by AM and 
PM dosing for 6 consecutive days. Results from Part A of the study demonstrated that C16G2 
administered once daily for 5 days via dental trays for up to 4 hours did not suppress S. mutans 
efficiently. Results from Part B of the study showed a 1 log10 CFU/mL suppression of S. mutans 
when C16G2 was applied via a manual toothbrush and custom dental tray combination and at 
the higher concentration (800 µM). 
Pharmacokinetic data from study C3J14-201B-00 indicated no detectable systemic levels of 
C16G2 (all samples below the LLOQ of 10 nanogram (ng)/mL). PK samples were obtained: 1) 
during and after a 4 hour gel tray administration of 3.2 mg/mL C16G2 in gel (C16G2 
administered after manual brushing with conventional toothpaste without C16G2), and 2) 
immediately after 3 manual brushings with C16G2 and one 30 minute tray administration with 
C16G2 (3.2 mg/mL C16G2 in gel). 
Study C3J15-202-00, a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 
study evaluated the safety and microbiology of C16G2 (gel formulation) in adolescent and adult 
dental subjects. The study evaluated the treatment regimen and schedule previously assessed 
in Study C3J14-201B-00, Part B and assessed the durability of S. mutans suppression over a 
longer period of time (up to 4 months compared to 7 days in previous studies), evaluated the 
safety and microbiology of two 7-day study drug administration periods, and compared 2 mL 
(Study Arm 1) versus 4 mL (Study Arm 2) 800 µM C16G2 Gel/Placebo administrations. 
A total of 64 subjects were enrolled into this study, of which 41 were randomized to receive 
active drug. A total of 104 AEs were reported in 36 subjects, with a similar distribution over the 
two study arms and the placebo group (Study Arm 1: 9 subjects; Study Arm 2: 16 subjects; 
placebo group: 11 subjects). AEs related to study drug were reported for 3 subjects receiving 
C16G2 (all in Study Arm 2) and 2 subjects treated with placebo. AEs deemed related to the 
study drug in Study Arm 2 were gingival swelling, oral discomfort, and sensitivity of teeth, all 
assessed as mild in severity. There were no serious adverse experiences (SAEs) or severe 
AEs, no deaths, and no discontinuations due to AE.   
No clinically significant changes in vital signs were observed in association with administration 
of C16G2. Assessments of the oral cavity and body areas examined as part of the targeted 
physical exams did not reveal any treatment-related safety issues. Thus, the dosing regimens 
and modes of application evaluated in this study were safe in healthy adults and adolescents. 
Results for salivary S. mutans samples during the first and second study drug administration 
period suggest that either 2 or 4 mL volumes of 800 μM C16G2 delivered via MBGA and TGA 
over 7 days, with an intensive first day, are sufficient to suppress S. mutans for 12 hours 
following the cessation of therapy compared to placebo. 
Results for occlusal dental plaque during the first study drug administration period suggest that 
800 μM C16G2 administered as either 2 or 4 mL volumes via MBGA and TGA over 7 days, with 
an intensive first day, are sufficient to suppress S. mutans in dental plaque for up to 12 hours 
after the last dose as compared to placebo. During the second study drug administration only 
the 4 mL volume appeared sufficient to suppress S. mutans up to 12 hours in both plaque and 
saliva, while 2 mL suppressed S. mutans in saliva. 
In both study drug administration periods total bacterial loads were not reduced by study 
treatments at 1 week post last study drug administration. The magnitude of the S. mutans

CONFIDENTIAL 
reduction in the first study drug administration period was modest, yet selective, since there was 
no change in total bacterial levels.  
Study C3J15-203-00, a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind and open-label, 
placebo-controlled study, evaluated the safety and microbiology of C16G2 administered in 
multiple oral gel doses to adult and adolescent dental subjects. The study evaluated different 
dosing regimens and different doses of C16G2 and Placebo Gel. There were no deaths, no 
serious adverse experiences (SAEs) and no severe AEs. There were no significant safety 
findings and the safety profile of C16G2 was consistent with previous studies and generally safe 
in majority of the subjects. Microbiology results did not show a significant durable response in 
reduction of S. mutans in stimulated saliva and dental plaque samples. The clinical study report 
for this study is currently in preparation. 
The Phase 2 study C3J16-V204-00 evaluates the safety and microbiology of C16G2 varnish 
administered in multiple doses to adolescent and adult dental subjects in a single-blind, 
randomized, placebo-controlled manner. The study enrolled 33 subjects into 3 dose groups 
(13.6 mg, 27.2 mg, and 54.4 mg C16G2 Varnish or Placebo), enrollment is complete. Subjects 
in each cohort received three doses over one week and were followed up for safety and 
microbiology for 1 month post last study drug administration. To date, there have been no 
serious or severe AEs. 
The Phase 2 study C3J16-S205-00 evaluates the safety and microbiology of C16G2 strip 
administered in multiple doses to adolescent and adult dental subjects in a single-blind, 
randomized, placebo-controlled manner. The study enrolled 30 subjects into 3 dose groups 
(9.2 mg, 18.4 mg, 36.8 mg C16G2 Strip or Placebo). The study is fully enrolled, subjects in 
Study Arms 1 through 3 were enrolled sequentially in an ascending dose-escalation manner. 
Subjects received 11 doses administered over approximately two weeks. Each subject received 
a single dose on Day 0, followed by 5 days of AM and PM dosing starting on Day 7. To evaluate 
the durability of S. mutans suppression, study subjects were followed for microbiology for 
1 month after the last study drug administration. To date, there have been no serious or severe 
AEs. 
1.1.3 Non-US Pilot Studies  
Three C16G2 pilot studies that evaluated the safety and microbiology of C16G2 mouth rinse 
administrations were conducted in China. These studies demonstrated a safety profile similar to 
the one observed in the US clinical studies. Only one of these three studies showed a short-
term decrease in S. mutans levels that returned to baseline after 24 hours. For detailed 
information refer to the C16G2 Investigator’s Brochure. 
1.2 Rationale for Development of C16G2 
The rationale for developing C16G2 as a product to prevent dental caries in adults, adolescents 
and younger children is based on the following: 
 
Acid production by S. mutans is implicated as a major factor in the initiation of dental caries 
and eventual cavitation of the tooth (Tanzer, Livingston et al. 2001). The selective reduction 
of S. mutans from within the oral cavity may reduce the likelihood of developing dental 
caries by reducing acid production and providing long term protection through preservation 
of the non-cariogenic oral flora that maintain protective colonization benefits. 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017

CONFIDENTIAL 
 
C16G2, a novel antimicrobial peptide, has demonstrated efficacy and selectivity for 
S. mutans and not other bacteria. 
Refer to the Investigator’s Brochure for additional information. 
1.3 Rationale for Selection of Dose & Mode of Application  
In prior clinical trials using C16G2 mouth rinse and gel formulations, C16G2 was administered 
at an 400 µM (1.6 mg/mL) and 800 µM (3.2 mg/mL) dose with a maximum daily exposure of 
115.2 mg resulting in approximately 1 log10 suppression of S. mutans while study drug was 
administered. The current study is designed to evaluate a C16G2 varnish formulation alone and 
with a C16G2 strip formulation administered on days subsequent to varnish application. The 
proposed dose of C16G2 strip is 9.2 mg applied via 4 tooth strips that will extend over molars 
and bicuspids. Release of the peptide from the film is achieved through mixing of the layer of 
the tooth strip containing C16G2 with saliva on the tooth surface resulting in peptide release of 
the 9.2 mg dose. The strip will be hydrated by saliva during the administration period resulting in 
continuous dissolution of C16G2 from the strip during the treatment period. In this study the 
tooth strips will remain on the tooth surface for a minimum of 30 minutes and during this 
timeframe it is expected that the majority of peptide will be released. An average salivary flow 
rate of 0.4 mL/min over the course of the 30 minutes application time results in the production of 
approximately 12 mL of saliva and an average peptide concentration for the dose of 0.77 mg/mL 
C16G2. The proposed dose demonstrated selective antimicrobial activity against S. mutans in a 
multispecies in vitro biofilm assay.  
The current study will also evaluate a varnish formulation alone and in combination with strips 
applied on subsequent days. The proposed dose of C16G2 varnish is 13.6 mg resuspended in 
1 mL of vehicle. Up to 1 mL of study drug may be applied to the tooth surfaces. Peptide release 
from these study drug formulations has been demonstrated. In this study, the study drug will 
remain on the tooth surface until removed through normal wear and mastication after discharge. 
The dose was evaluated for antimicrobial effect and effectively eliminated S. mutans from in 
vitro biofilms with increasing dose-dependent impact on total bacteria.   
The proposed clinical program dose range, as well as the multiple dosing schedule, was not 
selected based on safety issues, but rather based on 1) a reasonable expectation that this dose 
range will cover the bactericidal potential of C16G2, 2) a product profile that targets the highest 
flexibility for C16G2 administration and 3) results from prior C16G2 clinical studies that 
demonstrated an unremarkable safety profile with no serious or severe AEs assessed as related 
to study drug administration by the Investigator. 
The non-clinical toxicity and clinical safety and tolerability profile of orally administered C16G2 
mouth rinse and gel formulations is very benign, which is consistent with the peptide not being 
orally bioavailable. Pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies did not detect C16G2 after oral 
administration, either by gavage to rats and dogs or buccal administration to hamsters. 
Furthermore, in vitro studies in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids show that C16G2 is quickly 
destroyed and undetectable, and thus swallowing of C16G2 is not expected to result in any 
systemic exposure. Ingredients in the strip and varnish formulation do not raise safety concerns 
because they are currently used in commercial products.  
A large safety margin exists between the proposed clinical doses and the no observed-adverse-
effect levels (NOAEL) determined after administration of C16G2 to rats and dogs by oral gavage 
daily for 14 days. The NOAELs in these nonclinical studies were at least 150 mg/kg/day in rats 
and at least 50 mg/kg/day in dogs, respectively, which converts to a human equivalent dose 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017 
Page 28 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
(HED) of 24 to 28 mg/kg/day. The maximum daily dose proposed in Study C3J17-206-00 is 
0.26 mg/kg/day (assuming a 70 kg subject), which equates to 92.3 to 107.7-fold below the HED 
values at the NOAELs derived from the oral gavage toxicology studies. 
In addition, a study to assess the potential for C16G2 Gel to produce local irritation in the oral 
mucosa of hamsters did not reveal any adverse findings or delays in wound healing following 
daily buccal administration at a concentration of 16 mg/mL for up to 28 days in intact and 
abraded cheek pouches. 
1.4 Rationale for the Length of Safety Follow-up 
Given the lack of systemic exposure at clinical doses, the short half-life, and the unremarkable 
clinical safety profile at the doses studied, safety follow-up for subjects enrolled in any study arm 
of Study C3J17-206-00 will be 1 week after the last administration of study drug. After that time 
point, all ongoing AEs will be followed in accordance with good medical practice until resolution 
or the AE or condition has stabilized. All SAEs will be followed until the outcome is known or the 
subject’s condition has stabilized. The shorter follow-up period compared to earlier C16G2 
studies is supported by the following data:  
The maximum daily C16G2 exposure for the strip formulation in this study will be up to 18.4 mg 
in Study Arm 1 (a 9.2 mg strip applied twice daily). The Phase 2 Strip Study C3J16-S205-00 
had a maximum daily C16G2 exposure of 73.6 mg. The maximum daily C16G2 exposure for the 
varnish formulation in this study will be up to 13.6 mg in Study Arms 2 and 3 (a single daily 
13.6 mg varnish administration). The Phase 2 Varnish Study C3J16-V204-00 had a maximum 
daily C16G2 exposure of 54.4 mg. Both studies demonstrated an unremarkable safety profile 
with no serious or severe AEs. 
Pharmacokinetic evaluations in two clinical studies demonstrated minimal or no measurable 
systemic absorption of C16G2. In the Phase 1 Study, Protocol No. C3J11-101-01, C16G2 could 
not be detected after a single C16G2 administration of up to 32 mg with a single exception. One 
sample tested just above LLOQ, which may have been the result of high background signal 
near the LLOQ. In a Phase 2 Study (Protocol No. C3J14-201B-00), C16G2 administered at a 
concentration of 3.2 mg/mL could not be detected above the LLOQ (10 ng/mL) in any 
pharmacokinetic sample after multiple manual brush gel applications and during and after tray 
gel applications. The clinical PK evaluations are consistent with nonclinical data that 
demonstrate a lack of systemic exposure after sublingual, buccal, and oral gavage. After 
parenteral administration of C16G2 to rats and dogs for 28 days, C16G2 was rapidly cleared 
from circulation (t1/2 = 1.1 to 3.92 hours). In vitro stability studies performed with C16G2 diluted 
in human saliva indicated degradation occurs within 1 hour (t1/2 = 18.8 minutes). Furthermore, in 
vitro studies in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids demonstrated that C16G2 is quickly 
destroyed and undetectable, and thus swallowing of C16G2 is not expected to result in any 
systemic exposure. 
1.5 Study Assessments and Procedures 
Laboratory assessments will be performed at Screening to determine eligibility. Evaluations of 
safety include oral cavity assessments, targeted physical examinations, vital sign 
measurements, and collection of adverse events as set forth in the Schedule of Study 
Assessments and Procedures in Appendix B. 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017

CONFIDENTIAL 
1.5.1 Screening Laboratory Assessments 
Laboratory assessments will be performed at a local laboratory to determine eligibility at 
screening. Any out-of-range hematology or chemistry test result may be repeated, in 
consultation with the Medical Monitor as needed, to evaluate eligibility. 
Hematology: White blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet 
count, absolute neutrophils, absolute lymphocytes, absolute monocytes, absolute eosinophils, 
and absolute basophils. 
Serum Chemistries: Sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), 
glucose, creatinine, total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase 
(AST), alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). 
1.5.2 Adverse Event Collection and Review 
Adverse events (AEs) will be collected and reviewed to evaluate the safety of C16G2 Varnish or 
Placebo and C16G2 Strip. The safety follow-up for subjects enrolled in any study arm of Study 
C3J17-206-00 will be 1 week after the last administration of study drug. After that time point, all 
ongoing adverse events will be followed in accordance with good medical practice until 
resolution or the adverse event or condition has stabilized. AEs that occur after exposure to 
study drug will be classified as treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). 
 
All AEs, whether observed by the Investigator and/or study staff or reported by the subject, will 
be entered in the source records and electronic data capture (EDC) system. 
 
AEs will be graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria 
for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 and coded according to Medical Dictionary of 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). 
1.5.3 Vital Signs 
Vital signs (blood pressure [systolic and diastolic], heart rate and temperature) will be obtained 
for safety monitoring at time points specified in Section 6 and Appendix B, and will be obtained 
while the subject is in a supine or sitting position. 
1.5.4 Oral Cavity Assessments & Targeted Physical Exam 
At the scheduled time points, according to the Schedule of Study Assessments and Procedures 
in Appendix B, investigators will perform a comprehensive oral exam consisting of an evaluation 
of oral hard and soft tissue structures for each subject. Oral hard tissue assessments will be 
performed with a dental mirror on the teeth and bony structures. Oral soft tissues will be 
performed by examining each subject’s mouth and pharynx, including lips, tongue, floor of the 
mouth, palate, gingiva, alveolar mucosa, buccal mucosa, oropharynx, tonsils, uvula, and 
salivary glands using palpation techniques and visualization. Targeted extraoral examination of 
the head and neck regions will also be performed by visualization and palpation. 
At Screening and prior to the first study drug administration, any abnormal examination findings 
should be documented and evaluated for clinical significance. If, in the opinion of the 
Investigator, the findings are not clinically significant and/or do not disqualify a subject from 
participation in the study, this clinical impression should be documented and the findings should 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017 
Page 30 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
be adequately described to allow comparison at subsequent visits. If there are questions about 
the clinical significance of any finding(s), a discussion with the Medical Monitor is 
recommended. 
The types of abnormalities that should be recorded include, but may not be limited to, amalgam 
tattoos, bony exostoses, Fordyce granules, and extrinsic tooth stains. 
At the time of study drug administration or post-dose, should an AE be reported, the Investigator 
will determine if an oral hard/soft tissue exam should be performed. All findings will be recorded 
on the respective source document and in the EDC system. 
Any non-clinically significant and clinically significant findings, signs or symptoms that are 
present at Screening and worsen in severity or frequency during or after study drug 
administration, will be recorded as adverse events in the source record and EDC system. 
1.5.5 Salivary Flow Assessment 
Stimulated whole salivary flow rates will be used to measure salivary function. The stimulated 
whole saliva test will be administered for 5 minutes. 
With study staff present, subjects will be instructed to chew on parafilm (a 50/50 mixture of 
paraffin wax and polyolefin) and to drain saliva into a tube which is to be held near their mouth. 
At the end of 5 minutes, subjects will be instructed to collect all remaining saliva in their mouth 
and expectorate it into the test tube. Subjects who are able to expectorate ≥2.0 mL of stimulated 
saliva within a 5 minute period are eligible to continue screening for participation in the study. 
Subjects that pass the salivary flow assessment will be instructed to continue to collect saliva 
until a minimum of 5 mL have been collected at the first screening visit. 
1.5.6 Microbiology Evaluations 
1.5.1.1 Dental Plaque Sample Collection  
A dental plaque sample will be collected using an interdental brush for the analysis of microbial 
populations and for quantification of S. mutans according to the Schedule of Microbiology 
Assessments in Appendix C. 
 
Subjects will be instructed to swallow the saliva in their mouths. Subjects will be instructed to 
open their lips in a wide smile with teeth loosely together and suck in several times to remove 
bulk saliva from occlusal surfaces of the teeth. Study staff will sample the occlusal surface of 
molars and bicuspids in four quadrants of the subject’s mouth with one interdental brush used 
for each quadrant. Plaque collected from each interdental brush will be dispersed into one tube 
containing TH media. 
Immediately after collection, dental plaque samples will be stored at 2-8°C. At the end of each 
day, all samples will be placed in an insulated box with ice packs, and a temperature monitoring 
device then shipped overnight for next day early morning delivery to C3 Jian, LLC. The study 
center will provide C3 Jian with pre-notification of the upcoming shipment by supplying a sample 
inventory list via email to:

sample tubes and stored at -80°C for qRT-PCR analysis and/or bacterial community analysis. 
1.5.1.2 Stimulated Saliva Sample Collection  
A stimulated saliva sample (≥ 5.0 mL) will be collected by expectoration into sterile tubes for the 
analysis of microbial populations to confirm baseline S. mutans ≥ 1.0 x 105 CFU/mL in saliva for 
study eligibility, and for quantification of S. mutans according to the Schedule of Microbiology 
Assessments in Appendix C. 
With study staff present, subjects will be instructed to chew on parafilm (a 50/50 mixture of

Upon arrival at C3 Jian, samples will be inventoried and entered into a database for tracking 
through the analysis process. Saliva samples will then be re-suspended and aliquoted for 
immediate processing for plating. Remaining saliva samples will be aliquoted in sterile labeled 
sample tubes and stored at -80°C for qRT-PCR analysis and/or bacterial community analysis. 
1.5.1.3 Isolation & Analysis of S. mutans in Plaque & Saliva Samples 
Dental plaque and stimulated saliva samples collected at protocol specified time points will be 
analyzed for S. mutans using mitis-salivarius bacitracin (MSB) agar plates (see Appendix C). 
Upon arrival at C3 Jian laboratories, plaque and saliva samples will be diluted in microbiology 
growth medium (TH Broth) and plated on MSB agar in triplicate. After anaerobic incubation at 
37°C for 48-72 hours, all growth on the plates will be quantified by colony count. The use of 
microbiological media containing antimicrobial agents to selectively culture bacterial groups 
from mixed bacterial community is a standard method in microbiological identification of bacteria 
present in clinical analysis. Streptococcus species present in the oral cavity have been 
traditionally isolated from oral cavity samples using MSB agar plates. The antimicrobial activity 
of crystal violet dye, high sucrose content, sodium tellurite and bacitracin effectively prevent the 
growth of all bacteria except for streptococci. Further differentiation of streptococci is 
accomplished by observing colony morphology. S. mutans grows in large blue colonies with dry 
frosted tops or pale blue gumdrops and can be differentiated from other bacterial colonies. 
1.5.1.4 Analysis of Bacteria in Plaque & Saliva Samples by Non-selective Plating 
Upon arrival at C3 Jian laboratories, plaque and saliva samples will be diluted in bacterial 
growth medium (TH Broth) and plated on non-selective media in triplicate at protocol-specified 
time points (see Appendix C) to enumerate total bacteria present in a sample. After anaerobic 
incubation at 37°C for 24-48 hours, all growth on the plates will be quantified by colony count. 
1.5.1.5 Analysis of Bacteria in Saliva and Dental Plaque Samples by qRT- PCR 
The qRT-PCR method has been successfully used to quantitate bacteria present in the oral 
cavity and their association with disease states, such as dental caries and periodontitis. Dental 
plaque and saliva samples will be used for S. mutans and total bacteria testing using qRT-PCR. 
Genomic DNA will be extracted from plaque and saliva samples that will be aliquoted and stored 
at -80°C. Bacterial genomic DNA samples will be analyzed by qRT-PCR for levels of bacteria 
present. 
1.5.1.6  Bacterial Community Analysis 
Metagenomic analysis using next-generation sequencing is a powerful tool to compare entire 
microbial communities and evaluate the bacterial community composition in healthy and 
diseased states. Genomic DNA extracted from dental plaque and saliva samples will be 
aliquoted and stored at -80°C for metagenomics analysis by next generation sequences (see 
Appendix C). 
1.6 Potential Risks to Participants 
Potential risks to subjects participating in this study are as follows: 
 
Screening Laboratory Tests  

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017 
Page 33 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Venipuncture to obtain blood samples may cause some temporary discomfort. There is a 
minimal risk of surrounding nerve damage or wound infection. Some known risks, although rare, 
that can be associated with blood drawing are pain, burning, local infection, or the development 
of a bruise at the site where the needle is placed to draw the blood. 
 
Oral Examinations: 
The oral examination will involve procedures that are routinely performed in dental practice. A 
licensed dentist/hygienist will perform the procedures. The risks from the oral examination 
include minor discomfort or pain during the procedures. 
 
Biological Sample Collection: 
Dental plaque, stimulated saliva and urine (females only) will be collected. These collection 
processes confer minimal risk to the subject. 
 
Radiographs 
Standard radiographs will be taken, unless radiographs that are deemed appropriate for the 
study and taken within 6 months prior to the screening visit are available. These may be used 
for determining eligibility and not required to be repeated at Screening. As planned, this 
procedure confers minimal risk to the subject. 
 
C16G2 Administration: 
Phase 1 
 
A total of 36 adult healthy subjects were enrolled, of which 24 subjects received C16G2, and 
12 subjects received placebo. C16G2 was administered in mouth rinse formulation as a single 
dose of three concentrations (4 mg [50 µM], 8 mg [100 µM] and 32 mg [400 µM]) by swishing for 
40 seconds in the oral cavity and subsequent expectoration. 
 
C16G2 was well-tolerated with no deaths and no serious or severe AEs. No study drug related 
treatment emergent AEs were reported and no subject was discontinued due to an AE. No 
clinically significant changes in vital signs, ECGs, clinical laboratory results, targeted physical 
examinations and oral cavity assessments were attributable to C16G2 administration. 
Immunogenicity assessments demonstrated that single dose C16G2 administrations up to a 
dose of 32 mg did not trigger the development of antibodies against C16G2. 
C16G2 was not detected above the lower level of quantitation (LLOQ 10 ng/mL) in any 
pharmacokinetic sample, with a single exception most likely related to a high background 
signal,, suggesting there is minimal or no systemic absorption of C16G2 into the circulation after 
a single C16G2 administration up to a dose of 32 mg. 
Phase 2 
A total of 6 Phase 2 C16G2 studies were conducted under a US IND to date; 4 studies are 
completely analyzed and enrolled 311 adolescent and adult dental subjects. In these studies 
258 subjects received C16G2 and 53 subjects received placebo.  
C16G2 was well-tolerated with no deaths and no SAEs assessed as related to study drug 
administration by the investigator and no severe AEs. A total of 4 subjects discontinued from the

study due to an adverse event (C3J13-201-00: 2 subjects; C3J14-201B-00: 1 subject; C3J15-
202-00: 1 subject). The majority of AEs were deemed mild in severity and unrelated to study 
drug administration and study procedures. In addition, all AEs that were assessed as moderate 
in severity were also assessed as unrelated to study drug administration. In the clinical study 
C3J14-201B-00, one serious adverse event (SAE) was reported (acute abdominal pain – 
infarcted sigmoid appendix epiploica resulting in an appendectomy), and assessed as unrelated 
to study drug administration by the investigator. 
Pharmacokinetic data from study C3J14-201B-00 indicate no detectable systemic levels of 
C16G2 (all samples below the LLOQ of 10 ng/mL). PK samples were obtained: 1) during and 
after a 4 hour gel tray administration of 3.2 mg/mL C16G2 in gel (C16G2 administered after 
manual brushing with conventional toothpaste without C16G2), and 2) immediately after 
3 manual brushings with C16G2 and one 15 minute tray administration with C16G2 (3.2 mg/mL 
C16G2 in gel). 
In Study C3J17-206-00 subjects will receive study drug administrations (Strip and/or Varnish or 
Placebo) on multiple days of dosing. Approximately 9.2 mg C16G2 will be applied via 4 
individual strips to molars and bicuspids, 13.6 mg of Varnish or Placebo will be applied to all 
teeth using a brush typically used in dental varnish application. The maximum daily exposure in 
this study will be serval fold lower than in earlier studies with these C16G2 formulations. The 
maximum daily exposure in the completed Strip Study C3J16-S205-00 was 73.6 mg and will be 
18.4 mg in Study C3J17-206-00. The maximum daily exposure in the Varnish Study C3J16-
V204-00 was 54.4 mg and will be 13.6 mg in Study C3J17-206-00. 
Potential risks to subjects are minimized in this Phase 2 study by the following: 
 
Requirement that all women of child-bearing potential, defined as not surgically sterile or 
at least two (2) years postmenopausal, must agree to use one of the following forms of 
contraception from screening through the last study visit: hormonal (oral, implant, or 
injection) begun >30 days prior to screening; barrier (condom, diaphragm, or cervical 
cap with spermicide); intrauterine device (IUD). Acceptable contraceptive options may 
also include abstinence, relationship with a same sex partner or partner who has had a 
vasectomy at least six (6) months prior to the screening visit 
 
Requirement that women are not lactating or pregnant, as verified by urine pregnancy 
tests performed at screening and baseline 
 
Requirement for male subjects to use contraception or abstain from sexual activity 
during the study  
 
Selection of qualified Investigator and training of study personnel 
 
Monitoring by trained study staff during clinic and follow-up visits 
 
Utilizing guidelines for management of hypersensitivity and adverse events 
 
Collection of AEs 
This study is being performed in compliance with the guidelines of the International Council on 
Harmonization (ICH), and Good Clinical Practice (GCP). 
1.7 Subject’s Duration of Participation 
Approximately 26 male and female subjects 12 to 75 years of age will be enrolled in the study. 
The maximum subject’s duration of participation (including screening period) will be 4 months. 
The estimated duration of the study from first subject in (FSI) to last subject out (LSO) is 
approximately 6 months.

Primary Objectives 
 
To assess the targeted antimicrobial activity of C16G2 Varnish and Strip administration 
as measured by a reduction in Streptococcus mutans in saliva and dental plaque  
 
To assess total bacteria in saliva and dental plaque post study drug administration 
Secondary Objective  
 
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple C16G2 Varnish and Strip 
administrations in adolescent and adult dental subjects 
3. 
STUDY DESIGN 
An open-label and single-blind phase 2 study to evaluate the oral microbiology, safety and 
tolerability of multiple C16G2 Varnish and Strip applications in male and female dental subjects 
12-75 years of age. 
The study will compare multiple study drug administrations of 13.6 mg of C16G2 Varnish and 
9.2 mg of C16G2 Strip in three study arms. Before dosing of study drug, eligible subjects will 
receive professional dental prophylaxis between Days -7 and -2.  
In Study Arm 1 eight subjects will be enrolled in an open-label manner and will receive a daily 
dose of C16G2 Varnish applications over 3 days followed by 14 doses of C16G2 Strip 
administered over 7 days. C16G2 Varnish will be applied with a small brush typically used in 
dental varnish administration. Following the three C16G2 Varnish applications, each subject will 
receive 7 days of AM and PM dosing with C16G2 Strip. To evaluate the durability of S. mutans 
suppression, study subjects will be followed for microbiology for up to 2 months after the last 
study drug administration. 
Study Arm 2 will enroll 12 subjects in a single-blind manner. Subjects will receive four C16G2 
Varnish or Placebo applications over 7 days (Days 0, 2, 5 & 7), followed by 3 additional weekly 
Varnish administrations. The treatment allocation will be 1:1 (6 subjects receiving C16G2 
Varnish, 6 subjects receiving Placebo). To evaluate the durability of S. mutans suppression, 
study subjects will be followed for microbiology for up to 2 months after the last study drug 
administration. 
Study Arm 3 will be initiated based on the Sponsor’s review of all microbiology data up to two 
week post last study drug administration from Study Arm 2.  
If initiated, Study Arm 3 will enroll 6 subjects in an open label manner. Subjects will receive daily 
single doses of C16G2 Varnish over 10 days, for a total of 10 doses. To evaluate the durability 
of S. mutans suppression, study subjects will be followed for microbiology for up to 2 months 
after the last study drug administration.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS & PROCEDURES 
For details on study schedules and assessments, including dosing and microbiology information 
refer to Appendices A through D. 
6.1 Screening and Re-screening 
Subjects will be screened, including S. mutans assessment, within 30 days of planned dosing 
with the study drug. If a subject qualifies for the study based on screening results, but cannot be 
treated within 30 days due to scheduling problems, he/she may be re-screened at the 
Investigator’s discretion. During re-screening, the following assessments will be repeated: re-
signing of the consent form (if required by the IRB), oral cavity assessment, targeted physical 
exam, salivary flow assessment, local laboratory (hematology and chemistry) and pregnancy 
test (if applicable). If the informed consent is not re-signed, all screening procedures except for 
the informed consent need to be within 30 days. During re-screening, the S. mutans 
assessment does not need to be repeated if <60 days have elapsed since the initial procedures. 
For potential subjects that do not qualify for the study based on initial screening, re-screening is 
at the discretion of the Sponsor in consultation with the Investigator on a case-by-case basis. If 
re-screened within 30 days, not all screening procedures may need to be repeated.   
6.2 Subject Instructions 
Subjects enrolled in all study arms will be instructed to abstain from eating food and drinking 
beverages that contain a high sugar content (e.g., candy, soda with refined sugar, sugary 
snacks, dried fruit, fruit rolls) from Screening to the last day of study drug administration. While 
smokers are not excluded from study participation, subjects should abstain from using chewing 
tobacco or similar products throughout the study. 
6.2.1 Oral Hygiene Instructions  
Beginning at Visit 2 and during the entire study subjects will not be allowed to use any dental 
material besides the material provided by the study center. Prior to attending the study center 
for any visit, subjects will not be allowed to perform oral hygiene at home. In addition, Subjects 
will be advised not to use any mouth rinse for approximately 24 hours before the Screening visit. 
 
Prior to discharge at Visit 2 (Day -7 to -2), subjects will receive a manual toothbrush, a regular 
toothpaste containing fluoride, and dental floss provided by the Sponsor to take home. Subjects 
will be instructed to use these dental products in the morning and evening at home, except prior 
to a clinic visit and after a PM C16G2 Strip administration. In addition, subjects will be 
resupplied with these dental products as needed. 
6.2.2 Diet Instructions  
Subjects in all study arms will be instructed as follows:  
 
All Visits:  
• 
Do not eat for 1 hour prior to the appointment time 
• 
No liquids, other than plain water, 1 hour prior to the appointment time 
Note: Subjects will be allowed to drink water up to 10 minutes prior to dental plaque and 
saliva collection, and will be instructed not to swish or rinse

ADVERSE EVENTS AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT 
7.1 Definition of Adverse Events 
An AE is “any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, 
whether or not considered drug related.” 
For the purposes of this definition, “untoward” means unfavorable, negative, or harmful. Note 
that an AE is any event observed or reported that is associated with the use of the drug, without 
regard to causality. 
Adverse events will be collected and reviewed to evaluate the safety of C16G2 Varnish or 
Placebo and C16G2 Strip. All AEs will be recorded from the first exposure to study drug up to 
1 week after the last administration of study drug. After that time point, all ongoing adverse 
events will be followed in accordance with good medical practice until resolution or the adverse 
event or condition has stabilized. AEs that occur after exposure to study drug will be classified 
as treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). All AEs whether observed by the Investigator and/or study 
staff or reported by the subject, will be recorded in the source records and EDC system. 
Medical or dental conditions that are present at or before the administration of study drug that 
manifest with the same intensity or frequency subsequent to administration of study drug will not 
be recorded as AEs. Similarly, signs or symptoms related to a pre-existing disease will not be 
recorded as AEs unless there is an increase in the intensity, frequency or duration of the signs 
or symptoms. These pre-existing events, signs, or symptoms will be entered in the source 
records and EDC system. 
Diagnostic and therapeutic non-invasive procedures, such as surgery, should not be reported as 
AEs. However, the medical condition for which the procedure was performed should be 
reported, if it meets the definition of an AE. For example, an acute appendicitis that begins 
during the AE reporting period should be reported as an AE and the resulting appendectomy 
should be recorded as treatment of the AE. 
7.2 Assessment of Severity (Intensity) of Adverse Events 
The severity or intensity of an AE describes the degree of impact upon the subject and/or the 
need for, and the extent of medical care required to treat the AE. 
Symptoms should be graded as mild, moderate, severe, or life threatening according to the 
grading scale noted in Table 1. Please refer to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017 
Page 54 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
Table 1: Adverse Events Intensity Description 
Grade 
Description 
Mild (1) 
Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations 
only; intervention not indicated. 
 
Moderate (2) 
Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; 
limiting age-appropriate instrumental ADL*. 
 
Severe (3) 
Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; 
hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; 
limiting self-care ADL**. 
 
Life Threatening (4) 
Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated  
 
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) 
 
*Instrumental ADL refer to preparing meals, shopping for groceries or clothes, using the 
telephone, managing money, etc. 
**Self-care ADL refer to bathing, dressing and undressing, feeding self, using the toilet, taking 
medications, and not bedridden. 
Note the distinction between the severity and the seriousness of an AE. A severe event is not 
necessarily a serious event. For example, a headache may be severe (interferes significantly 
with subject’s usual function), but would not be classified as serious unless it met the criteria for 
an SAE (See Section 7.7). 
7.3 Assessment of Causality (Relationship to Study Drug) 
An Investigator’s causality assessment is the determination of whether there exists a 
reasonable possibility that the study drug caused or contributed to an AE. The Investigator’s 
assessment of causality must be provided for all AEs (serious and non-serious). 
Several factors to consider when assessing the relationship of an event to the study drug: 
 
Alternative etiology - Is the event due to the underlying disorder being studied or to 
another known disorder? 
 
Known relationship - Has the event been observed before in patients treated with this 
study drug or similar products? 
 
Temporal relationship - Is there a reasonable temporal relationship between the time of 
onset of the event and the administration of the study drug? 
 
Concomitant medication - Is the event a known side effect of a concomitant medication? 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017 
Page 55 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
The Investigator will document his/her opinion of AE relationship to study drug using the criteria 
outlined in Table 2 below. 
Table 2: Adverse Event Relationships Description 
Relationship 
Description 
None 
The event can be readily explained by the subject's underlying medical condition, a 
concomitant therapy or other cause and the Investigator believes no relationship 
exists between the event and study drug. In this case, the Investigator should 
document the condition, concurrent / underlying illness, medication, study 
procedure or other cause they believe to be the cause of the adverse event. 
Unlikely 
The event does not follow a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of 
study drug nor does the event follow a known or expected response pattern to study 
drug and may have another cause. In this case, the Investigator should document 
the condition, concurrent / underlying illness, medication, study procedure or cause 
they believe may have contributed to the adverse event. 
Possible 
The subject’s condition, concurrent/underlying illness, medication, or study 
procedures cannot explain the event, and there is a plausible temporal relationship 
between the event and study drug administration. 
Probable 
The temporal relationship between the administration of study drug and the adverse 
event strongly suggests a relationship, and/or the adverse event cannot be 
reasonably explained by another condition, concurrent / underlying illness, 
medication, study procedure or other cause, or the adverse event abates with 
discontinuation of study drug, and recurs with re-administration. 
For reporting purposes, AEs assigned a relationship to study drug of “Probable,” and “Possible” 
will be classified as related to study drug. AEs assigned a relationship to study drug of “Unlikely” 
and “None” will be classified as not related to study drug. 
7.4 Suspected Adverse Reaction (SAR) and Adverse Reaction (AR) 
Suspected adverse reactions (SARs) are the subset of all AEs for which there is a reasonable 
possibility to conclude that the study drug caused the event. For the purposes of IND safety 
reporting, 'reasonable possibility' means there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship 
between the study drug and the AE. 
An “adverse reaction” (AR) is any AE caused by a drug. ARs are a subset of all SARs for which 
there is reason to conclude that the study drug caused the event. 
An SAR implies a lesser degree of certainty about causality than an AR, which means any AE 
caused by a drug. 
For reporting purposes, AEs assigned a relationship to study drug of “Probable,” and “Possible” 
will be classified as SARs. 
AEs assigned a relationship to study drug of “Unlikely” and “None” will not be classified as 
SARs.

             June 8, 2017 
Page 56 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
7.5 Unexpected Adverse Events 
The Investigator's Brochure (IB) provides Investigators with information (clinical and nonclinical) 
about the study drug. The IB includes those AEs for which a causal relationship is suspected or 
confirmed (SARs or ARs), as well as adverse events that may be predicted to occur based on 
the pharmacological properties of the drug. The IB is used as the basis for the Sponsor’s 
determination of “unexpected” for reporting purposes. 
“Unexpected” SARs are AEs not currently listed in the IB. An AE or SAR may also be 
considered “unexpected” if it is not listed in the IB at the specificity or severity that has been 
observed. 
7.6 Withdrawal Due to Adverse Events 
Withdrawal due to an AE should be distinguished from withdrawal due to insufficient response, 
according to the definition of AE noted earlier, and entered in the source records and EDC 
system. 
When a subject withdraws due to an SAE, the SAE must be reported in accordance with the 
reporting requirements defined below. 
7.7 Serious Adverse Events 
7.7.1 Definition of Serious Adverse Events 
Serious adverse events (SAEs) are defined as those AEs that meet any of the following criteria: 
 
Life threatening, that is, any event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, poses an 
immediate risk of death from that event 
 
Results in death  
 
Results in or prolongs hospitalization 
 
Results in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to 
conduct normal life functions 
 
Results in congenital anomaly/birth defect 
 
Is an important medical event that may require an intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed above 
 
For clarification, an AE or suspected adverse reaction (SAR) is “life-threatening”, if, in the 
view of the Investigator or the Sponsor, its occurrence places the subject at immediate risk 
of death. It does not include an AE or SAR that, had it occurred in a more severe form, 
might have caused death 
The Investigator should exercise medical and scientific judgment when deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations not strictly meeting the listed criteria above. Examples 
of important medical events which may meet the definition of an SAE include: intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, certain laboratory 
abnormalities (e.g., blood dyscrasias), convulsions that do not result in hospitalizations, or 
development of drug dependency or drug abuse. 
Pre-planned hospitalizations and/or elective surgical procedures may not be considered SAEs. 

Protocol No. C3J17-206-00 
             June 8, 2017 
Page 57 of 88 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Hospitalization does not include the following: 
 
Rehabilitation facilities; 
 
Hospice facilities; 
 
Respite care (e.g., caregiver relief); 
 
Skilled nursing facilities; 
 
Nursing homes; 
 
Routine emergency room admissions; 
 
Scheduled or elective same day surgeries (as outpatient/same day/ambulatory 
procedures). 
Hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization in the absence of a precipitating, clinical 
adverse event is not in itself an SAE. Examples include: 
 
Admission for treatment of a pre-existing condition not associated with the development 
of a new AE or with a worsening of the pre-existing condition (e.g., for work-up of 
persistent pre-treatment lab abnormality); 
 
Social admission (e.g., subject has no place to sleep); 
 
Administrative admission (e.g., for yearly physical exam); 
 
Optional admission not associated with a precipitating clinical adverse event (e.g., for 
elective cosmetic surgery); 
 
Pre-planned treatments or surgical procedures should be noted in the baseline 
documentation for the entire protocol and/or for the individual subject. 
Diagnostic and therapeutic non-invasive procedures, such as surgery, should not be reported as 
AEs. However, the medical condition for which the procedure was performed should be 
reported, if it meets the definition of an AE. For example, an acute appendicitis that begins 
during the AE reporting period should be reported as an AE and the resulting appendectomy 
should be recorded as treatment of the AE. 
The Investigator should contact the Sponsor's Medical Monitor immediately if there is a question 
as to whether or not an AE meets the criteria for serious. 
7.8 Procedures for Reporting and Recording Serious Adverse Events & Suspected 
Serious Adverse Reactions 
All SAEs, irrespective of relationship to study treatment, must be reported to the Sponsor and 
the Medical Monitor as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours from the time of notification. 
All AE/SAE information and appropriate supporting documentation must be sent electronically to 
the Medical Monitor & Sponsor.

CONFIDENTIAL 
Urgent safety issues should be discussed by telephone with the Medical Monitor as soon as the 
Investigator or members of the study staff become aware of the issue. 
It is very important that the SAEs be reported as soon as possible via the EDC and the 
information be filled out as completely as possible at the time of the initial report. This includes 
the Investigator’s assessment of causality. A brief description of the event must be provided at 
the time of the initial report. After the initial SAE report has been submitted, relevant follow-up 
information should be submitted as soon as possible, preferably within one (1) business day of 
receipt. If the follow-up information changes the Investigator’s assessment of causality, this 
should also be added as follow-up information in the EDC system. 
Additional SAE-related supporting documents, such as copies of hospital reports, lab reports, 
discharge summaries, and autopsy reports, if applicable, may be requested. All subject 
identifiers, except the subject’s initials and unique study identification number, must be removed 
from documents prior to submission to the Medical Monitor and other Sponsor designees. 
Subjects’ names, personal identification numbers (i.e., medical record numbers), and 
addresses, etc., should be removed or blocked-out. 
Reporting of a suspected serious adverse reaction (SSAR) should not be delayed in order to 
obtain additional information. Any additional information, if collected, can be reported as a 
follow-up to the initial report. Any SAE that occurs at any time during the study, whether or not 
related to study drug, must be reported to the Medical Monitor within 24 hours of first awareness 
at the site. 
The Investigator is responsible for the information recorded on SAE reports. It is the 
Investigator’s responsibility to ensure that the SAE information in the EDC system and source 
documents are accurate, consistent and in agreement. The Investigator is responsible for 
continuing SAE follow-up. The results of any additional assessments of the SAE must be 
reported to the Medical Monitor as an update to the SAE as soon as possible, but no later than 
24 hours after first awareness. Details on the SAE reporting procedure are provided in the SAE 
Reporting Guidelines. Criteria for determining severity and the relationship to study drug for the 
updated SAE will be the same as those previously described in Sections 7.2 and 7.3. 
7.8.1 Reporting Serious Adverse Events to the FDA and IRB 
The Investigator will comply with the applicable regulatory requirements related to the reporting 
of SAEs to the IRB. The completed SAE report will be used by the Sponsor in regulatory filings 
and may be used by the Investigator to convey SAE information to the IRB. 
7.8.2 Following Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
All AEs should be followed in accordance with good medical practice until resolution or the 
adverse event or condition has stabilized. AEs will be followed for one week post last dose in all 
Study Arms. All SAEs will be followed until the outcome is known or the subject’s condition has 
stabilized. 
7.9 Pregnancy

CONFIDENTIAL 
Female subjects of childbearing potential, defined as not surgically sterile or at least two (2) 
years postmenopausal, must agree to use one of the following forms of contraception from 
screening through the last study visit: hormonal (oral, implant, or injection) begun >30 days prior 
to screening; barrier (condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap with spermicide); intrauterine device 
(IUD). Acceptable contraceptive options may also include; abstinence, monogamous 
relationship with same sex partner or partner who has had a vasectomy at least six (6) months 
prior to the screening visit. In the unlikely event a subject becomes pregnant during the study, 
the subject will be withdrawn from the study immediately upon confirmation of pregnancy. These 
subjects will be required to return to the study center to undergo early termination procedures 
(Sections 9.3.2 and 9.3.3). 
In addition, any documented pregnancy will be tracked and followed through outcome. While 
pregnancy itself is not considered an AE or an SAE, any pregnancy complications or elective 
termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons will be recorded as an AE and evaluated as a 
possible SAE. 
All pregnancies are to be reported immediately to the Medical Monitor. 
7.10 Management of Medical Emergency (Hypersensitivity)  
If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs during the administration of study drug, the Investigator will 
discontinue the administration of study drug and provide general supportive measures. If an 
adverse event occurs after administration of study drug, the Investigator will provide general 
supportive measures.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
8.1 General Considerations  
Protocol C3J17-206-00 is a phase 2, open-label and single-blind, randomized, placebo-
controlled study designed to evaluate the microbiological activity and safety of C16G2 Strip and 
C16G2 Varnish applied to the tooth surface.  
The study will enroll adolescent and adult study subjects into three study arms; Study Arms 1 
and 3 will be conducted in an open-label manner, Study Arm 2 will be single-blinded. The 
objectives of the study are to assess the targeted antimicrobial activity of a C16G2 Varnish and 
Strip combination (Study Arm 1) or C16G2 Varnish alone (Study Arms 2 and 3) as measured by 
a reduction in the number of Streptococcus mutans and assessment of total bacteria in saliva 
and dental plaque. The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple C16G2 
Strip and C16G2 Varnish or Placebo administrations.   
For the summary table presentations, data will be summarized in tabular format by study arm 
and treatment group. All statistical analysis will be descriptive in nature. Descriptive summary 
statistics will include N, mean, standard deviation, median, range (minimum and maximum) for 
continuous variables, and frequency counts and percent for categorical variables. 
8.2 Randomization 
After confirmation of study eligibility, 12 subjects in Study Arm 2 will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio 
(C16G2:Placebo) at Visit 3 (Day 0) by authorized study staff according to the master 
randomization schedule from the Sponsor’s study statistician. The randomization schedule and 
associated documentation for Study Arm 2 will be kept in a secure location . 
Subjects will be enrolled simultaneously in Study Arms 1 & 2; after 2-week microbiology data 
from Study Arm 2 are available, the Sponsor will perform a review and make a decision if Study 
Arm 3 will be initiated.     
8.3 Blinding 
Study Arms 1 and 3 will be conducted in an open-label manner. All study subjects, as well as 
the Investigator, study staff/clinicians and the Sponsor’s assigned team members (e.g., the 
Clinical Monitor and the Medical Monitor) will be unblinded to the treatment assignment. 
Study Arm 2 will be conducted in a single-blind, placebo-controlled manner. All study subjects 
will be blinded to the treatment assignment, while the Investigator, study staff/clinicians and the 
Sponsor’s assigned team members (e.g., the Clinical Monitor and the Medical Monitor) will be 
unblinded as to whether subjects are receiving C16G2 or Placebo.  
8.4 Sample Size Determination 
The total number of subjects planned for this study is approximately 26 (Study Arm 1: n = 8; 
Study Arm 2: n=12 (6 C16G2, 6 Placebo); Study Arm 3: n=6). There are no data on which to 
base formal sample size calculations for this study. The data generated in this study will assist 
with ongoing clinical development of C16G2 Strip and/or Varnish. Subjects’ data in all three 
study arms will provide information on the safety and microbiology of multiple C16G2 Strip or

Varnish/Placebo administrations. Subjects who do not return for assessments after study drug 
administration for any reason may be replaced at the Sponsor’s discretion. 
8.5 Analysis Sets 
There will be two analysis sets; the safety analysis set and the microbiology analysis set. 
The safety analysis set will be defined as those subjects enrolled and have received any 
amount of C16G2 Strip, C16G2 Varnish or Placebo. 
The microbiology analysis set will be comprised of two subsets, the microbiology saliva and 
microbiology dental plaque subset. These subsets will be based on the subjects who received 
study drug (C16G2 Strip, C16G2 Varnish, or Placebo) and have at least a baseline and one 
post-baseline saliva and dental plaque sample. 
8.6 Interim Safety Analysis 
There are no interim analyses planned; however, microbiology data will be reviewed by the 
Sponsor’s assigned team in an ongoing manner throughout the course of the study. 
8.7 Statistical Analyses 
8.7.1 Demographics and Baseline Characteristics 
Demographic and baseline characteristics (i.e., age at screening, gender, weight, height, body 
mass index (BMI), race, ethnicity, medical history, physical examination, prior medications) will 
be listed for individual subjects and summarized by study arm / treatment group using summary 
statistics for continuous variables and frequency distributions for discrete variables. 
8.7.2 Prior and Concomitant Medications 
Concomitant medications will be coded using the World Health Organization Drug Dictionary 
and will be summarized for each study arm/treatment group by World Health Organization 
Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (WHO ATC) class and medication name. These summaries 
will present the number and percentage of subjects using each medication. 
8.7.3 Completion of the Study and Withdrawals 
Withdrawals and the reason for withdrawal (i.e., AE(s), protocol non-compliance, requirement 
for an unacceptable concomitant medication, lost to follow-up, failed to return, voluntary 
withdrawal, and other reasons) will be listed. The number and percentage of subjects who 
complete the study will be summarized. The number and percentage of subjects who withdraw 
from the study will be tabulated by study arm / treatment group at time of withdrawal. 
8.7.4 Protocol Deviations 
Protocol deviations will be listed and categorized (i.e., Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria, 
Randomization, Study Procedures, Missed Study Visit, Visit out of Study Window, Informed 
Consent, Safety Reporting, Study Drug Administration, Study Drug Accountability, and Other) 
and summarized based on these categories.

8.7.5 Safety Analysis 
8.7.5.1 Adverse Events 
Adverse events (AE) will be classified into standard terminology (preferred term and system 
organ class) using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. The severity of each adverse 
event will be graded as 1) mild, 2) moderate, 3) severe, or 4) life-threatening, according to the 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. 
In addition, all adverse events will be classified as to whether the relationship and study 
procedures to study drug was 1) None, 2) Unlikely, 3) Possible, or 4) Probable and followed to 
resolution or until the adverse event or condition has stabilized. 
The incidence and duration of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be summarized 
by study arm/treatment group according to MedDRA-preferred term and MedDRA system organ 
class term. An AE will be considered treatment emergent if the onset date and time occur on or 
after the recorded clock time of study drug administration. Tabulations of adverse events by 
severity grade and causal relationship to study drug (related, unrelated) will be provided. 
For reporting purposes, AEs assigned a relationship to study drug of “Possible” and “Probable” 
will be classified as related to study drug. AEs assigned a relationship to study drug of “Unlikely” 
or “None” will be classified as not related to study drug. 
The number and percentage of subjects with reported serious adverse experiences (SAEs) and 
subjects who withdrew due to an AE will be tabulated by study arm/treatment group. 
All adverse events will be presented in by-subject listings by reported verbatim term and 
MedDRA-preferred term, MedDRA system organ class, start and stop date and time, study day, 
duration, severity, relationship to study drug, seriousness, and outcome. All reported serious 
adverse events will also be displayed in by-subject listings. 
8.7.5.2 Oral Cavity Assessment 
Oral cavity assessment (hard and soft tissues) findings will be documented at Screening and at 
each protocol-specified study visit. 
Clinically significant examination findings identified at Screening will be added to the subject's 
Medical History. 
After study drug administration clinically significant changes in the oral cavity assessment will be 
recorded as AEs and these TEAEs will be summarized by study arm / treatment group for each 
of the protocol specified assessments by calculating the number and proportion of subjects who 
develop clinically significant findings in the oral cavity after study drug administration. 
8.7.5.3 Targeted Physical Examination 
Targeted physical examination (general, extraoral, head and neck) findings will be documented 
at Baseline and at each protocol-specified study visit. 
 
Prior to administration of study drug, clinically significant examination findings will be added to 
the subject's Medical History.

CONFIDENTIAL 
After study drug administration clinically significant changes in the targeted physical 
examination will be recorded as AEs. 
8.7.5.4 Vital Signs 
Vital sign results (blood pressure, heart rate and temperature) will be summarized for all study 
arms by calculating the mean, median, standard deviation, and range. Mean change from 
baseline will also be presented where baseline is defined as prior to study drug administration at 
Visit 3 (Day 0) for each study visit. 
8.7.5.5 Microbiology Analysis 
Stimulated saliva and dental plaque samples will be analyzed for the number of S. mutans and 
total number of bacteria present. Samples will be analyzed by MSB and TH agar plating. 
Samples will be stored for analysis using qRT-PCR and bacterial community analysis. Bacterial 
community analysis and qRT-PCR data will be analyzed at appropriate time points based on 
plating assessments. Descriptive statistics utilizing mean, standard deviation, median and range 
of oral microbes at each time point for each study arm will be determined and compared to 
baseline, as applicable.

determining eligibility and will not be repeated at screening. 
b Oral Cavity Assessments: OCA will be performed prior to study drug administration Screening Visit 1 and Baseline Varnish Dosing Visit 3 for all 
study arms. Visits 6, and 20 & 21 for Arm 1, Visits 10 & 11 for Arm 2 and Visits 13 & 14 for Arm 3.   
c Vital Signs: Blood pressure, heart rate and temperature taken in sitting or supine position at Screening Visit 1 and Baseline Varnish Dosing 
Visits 3 for all study arms. Subsequent visits  -> Study Arm 1: Visit 6 (pre-study drug only) and Visits 20 & 21. Study Arm 2:, Visits 6 (pre-study 
drug only), 10 & 11. Study Arm 3: Visit 8 (pre-study drug only) and Visits 13 & 14.  
d Microbiology Screening Assessment: Subjects will be screened, including S. mutans assessment, within 30 days of planned dosing with the 
study drug. The stimulated saliva will be collected in a sterile fashion to confirm baseline S. mutans ≥ 1 X 105 CFUs/mL 
e Microbiology: For details on stimulated saliva and dental plaque sample collection schedules and microbiology assessments refer to  
Appendix  C. Subjects will not perform oral hygiene at home prior to attending the study center at any visit for stimulated saliva and dental plaque 
sample collections (see Section 6.2 - Subject Instructions). 
f Professional Dental Prophylaxis: Will include removal of bulk plaque and supragingival scaling; Note: NO fluoride treatment as part of the 
procedure, NO subgingival scaling as part of the prophylaxis. 
g Subject training on flossing and tooth brushing: includes the appropriate use of dental floss per Appendix E, routine brushing with a manual 
toothbrush and a regular toothpaste containing fluoride per Appendix F. Retraining will be conducted as needed during the study. 
h Study Drug Administration: Subjects will receive study drug at the clinic (for details refer to Appendix A and Section 6). Subjects will brush and 
floss their teeth prior to study drug administration after microbiology samples are taken. Subjects receiving C16G2 Varnish or Placebo will be 
supervised for compliance for one hour post study drug administration and will then be discharged. Subjects receiving C167G2 Strip will be 
reminded at discharge to not consume any food or drink anything for 1 hour after removal of the strips.   
i Adverse Events: Subjects will be reminded to immediately notify the Investigator of any untoward effects up until 7 days post the last 
administration of study drug. All ongoing adverse events will be followed in accordance with good medical practice until resolution or the adverse 
event or condition has stabilized. 
j Oral Hygiene Product Distribution: After dental prophylaxis at Visit 2, subjects will receive a manual toothbrush, a regular toothpaste containing 
fluoride and dental floss to take home and will be instructed to exclusively use these dental products during the study. In addition, subjects will be 
resupplied with these dental products as needed.

APPENDIX E: FLOSSING INSTRUCTIONS 
Flossing with string will remove food particles and debris from between teeth to allow study drug 
to reach all tooth surfaces. Study staff will train the study subject using the instructions below. 
Depending on the flossing habits of the subject or preference, either rolled or pre-strung floss 
may be used. 
 
Rolled Floss Instructions: 
 
1. You will floss between all your teeth using the supplied dental floss 
2. Dispense approximately 2 feet of dental floss and wrap both ends of the dental floss 
around your index or middle finger 
3. Using your index or middle finger and thumb to hold the floss tight insert the floss 
between your teeth 
4. Press the floss against the side of one tooth and move the floss up and down 3 times. 
Repeat for the adjacent tooth surface 
5. Gently pull the floss from between the teeth and floss between all remaining teeth in the 
same manner 
 
Figure 1: Flossing 
 
 
Pre-strung Floss Instructions: 
 
1. You will floss between all your teeth using the supplied dental pre-strung floss 
2. Insert the floss between your teeth, press the floss against the side of one tooth and 
move the floss up and down 3 times. Repeat for the adjacent tooth surface 
3. Gently pull the floss from between the teeth and floss between all remaining teeth in the

Instruct the subject as follows: 
1. Hold the toothbrush handle lightly when brushing 
2. Study staff will observe you during brushing to ensure correct tooth brushing  
3. To start brushing, place the brush head on the top surface (occlusal) of the back molar 
4. Brush the occlusal surface of the first quadrant of the lower teeth for a total of 
approximately 10 seconds. Each brush stroke should move the brush head back and 
forth across the occlusal surface of several teeth. The brush should advance forward in 
the mouth with each successive brush stroke as illustrated in Figure 2, Line 1. When 
reaching the end of the quadrant continue brushing while advancing the toothbrush 
rearward to the back molars with each successive brush stroke 
5. Continue brushing the outer surface of the first quadrant of the lower teeth closest to the 
cheek as illustrated in Figure 2, Line 2 by brushing forward and backward across several 
teeth for 10 seconds 
6. Repeat for the inner surface of the first quadrant of the lower teeth closest to the tongue 
as illustrated in Figure 2, Line 3. Brush forward and backward for 10 seconds 
7. Repeat the brushing steps above for each of the remaining 3 quadrants of the mouth. 
8. If any teeth are not adequately brushed in the allotted time revisit those teeth prior to 
proceeding to other tooth surfaces

APPENDIX G: STRIP APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
 
The tooth strip is designed with dimensions sufficient to cover the occlusal surface of the molars 
and 1 or 2 bicuspids along with the majority of the lateral tooth surfaces of these teeth. The 
anterior teeth will not be covered by the tooth strip during treatment. To achieve effective dosing 
the tooth strip is formulated with an adhesive polymer that adheres to the tooth surface on 
contact and prevents shifting during treatment. Because of the adhesive nature of the adhesive 
polymer it will be difficult to realign the tooth strip after a significant portion of the tooth strip has 
been adhered to the tooth surface. Once fully adhered to the tooth surface, tooth strip 
realignment should not be attempted. 
 
The tooth strip formulation requires hydration to achieve effective drug release. To achieve 
effective tooth strip application that results in effective release of drug the tooth strips should be 
applied to teeth covered with saliva. DO NOT dry the teeth prior to strip application.  
 
1. Prior to study drug administration subjects will be instructed to have their mouth closed 
and teeth well covered by saliva 
2. Immediately prior to application of a tooth strip, remove the release liner from the single 
strip to be applied (do not remove the release liner from other tooth strips at this time) 
Note: The side of the strip in contact with the release liner is the side containing 
study drug that will be attached to the tooth surface  
3. Subject will be instructed to swallow any excess saliva in their mouth and open their 
mouth 
4. Using cheek retractors pull back the subject’s cheeks one at a time 
5. Instruct the subject to set their tongue away from the teeth where the strips will be 
applied, or alternatively, use a tongue depressor to ensure the tongue does not come in 
contact with the strip during application 
6. Align the rear of the tooth strip to the rearmost molar and lay it down on the teeth starting 
from the rearmost molar and ending with the most proximal tooth the tooth strip covers 
(this will usually be first or second bicuspid). The side of the strip that is in contact with 
the release liner contains the active drug and should be applied to the tooth surface. The 
strip should cover the entire occlusal surface of all molars 
7. Adhere the tooth strip to the occlusal surface of the tooth using a finger tip 
8. Adhere the tooth strip to the buccal and lingual surfaces of the tooth using a finger tip 
9. The subject will be instructed to close their mouth after application of the tooth strip and 
instructed not to grind their teeth 
10. Repeat steps 1 through 8 for the remaining 3 tooth strip applications

APPENDIX H: VARNISH APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
 
Study staff will apply study drug (C16G2 Varnish or Placebo) to each tooth surface using 
brushes provided in the study drug kits. Follow the instructions below for study drug application:  
 
1. Wipe teeth with gauze sponge or paper towel to remove excess saliva on the tooth 
surface 
2. Dry the teeth with air 
3. Use suction as necessary to remove excess saliva during study drug application 
Note: subject’s teeth must be completely dry for the varnish to adhere properly 
4. Use fingers and absorbent sponges to isolate teeth and prevent cheeks and tongue from 
rubbing against study drug prior to it setting 
5. Stir the study drug thoroughly before applying it to the teeth and between applications 
6. Dip the brush head into the study drug to collect a drop of varnish 
7. Immediately apply study drug to the tooth surface using as few strokes as necessary to 
spread out the varnish 
8. Reload the brush with study drug after coating 1 to 2 tooth surfaces 
9. Apply study drug to each tooth surface until all teeth are completely coated, including the 
lingual, buccal and occlusal surfaces with a single coating of varnish. Do not apply a 
second coat 
10. Retain remaining varnish for study drug accountability by the clinical monitor 
11. Varnish will remain on the subject’s teeth until removed through normal wear and 
mastication
