SYNOPSIS 
Name of Company: 
KeraNetics 
Name of Product: 
KeraStatâ Cream 
Type of Study: 
Clinical Safety 
Title of Study:  Skin Prick Test of KeraStat® Cream  
Investigator(s):  Dr. Jonathan Wilson 
Study Period:  Estimated FPFV July 2019; Expected LPLVAugust 2019 
Phase of Development:  Verification & Validation (Phase 3 of Design Control) 
Objective(s):  
• 
To evaluate the potential for a humoral reaction to KeraStat Cream compared to a predicate device  
Methodology:  This is a within subject, open-label comparison study. 
Number of Subjects:  
Sufficient subjects will be screened such that approximately 20 total subjects will complete the study. Sample size 
for the study is not based on statistical considerations. A total of 20 subjects were deemed sufficient to assess the 
potential for a humoral response to KeraStat Cream compared to the predicate device in support of establishing 
substantial equivalence. 
Study Overview: 
Study Periods: 
The length of study participation for a subject is about 2-3 days depending on availability for the final site check.  
There are two skin prick site checks during the course of Day 1 with a final follow up between Days 2 and 3.    
Study Evaluations:   
Initial screening (Screening Visit; Visit 1) will be performed on the day of the Skin Prick Test (SPT) 
administration and will include obtaining demographic information, brief medical history, and abbreviated 
physical exam. 
 
On Day 1 (Visit 1) the SPT will be performed on the infrascapular region of the back to the right of the 
midline. Test articles will include the subject device (KeraStat Cream), predicate devices (KeraStat Gel, 
Biafine), positive control (histamine), and negative control (saline). Each test article will have a single 
administration, only the re-test will utilize a triplicate administration. The SPT will be ready for initial 
reading after approximately 15 minutes (but no sooner than 10 minutes and no longer than 20 minutes) 
following the final SPT administration in the series.  When reading the test, the investigator will note the 
presence or absence of a wheal at all five sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present.  In order 
for the SPT to be valid, the wheal at the positive control site must exceed that at the negative control by 4 
mm. If the above criteria are not met, the SPT will be repeated in triplicate on the infrascapular region of the 
back to the left of the midline, following the same protocol. Following the initial reading, the subject will 
remain at the testing facility.    
 
A second reading will be conducted approximately 6 hours (+/- 15 minutes) after SPT administration on Day 
1 (Visit 1).  When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence or absence of a wheal at all five 
sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present.  Subjects are free to leave the clinical site after the 
second reading.  Subjects will be instructed to promptly contact the PI and go to the ER if symptoms of an 
allergic reaction or shock occur.   
 
Subjects will return to the office one to two days after initial administration for a third test reading (Visit 2).  
When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence or absence of a wheal in all five sites and will 
measure the diameter of each wheal present.

Clinical Safety 
Each site of test article administration will be measured for a positive reaction.  A positive reaction is present 
when there is a measurable wheal of 3 mm or more, surrounded by a flare. Small wheals are to be confirmed 
by palpation.  A flare alone is disregarded.  
Inclusion Criteria: 
Subjects must meet all of the following criteria: 
1. Men and women, age 18-65 
2. Able to understand the informed consent and provide written informed consent  
3. Healthy, unmarked skin at the test area 
4. Agreement to avoid consumption of antihistamines until completion of third test reading (Visit 2)

To participate in the study, subjects must not meet any of the following criteria: 
1. Women who are pregnant, lactating/nursing or plan to become pregnant 
2. Presence of skin disease, such as widespread urticaria or eczema 
3. Diagnosis of infectious disease 
4. Receiving corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, radiation or chemotherapy, topical growth 
factors, anxiolytics, imipramine, phenothiazine, dopamine, phenergen, clonidine, montelukast, 
immunotherapy, UV light therapy, H-2 antagonist, cyclosporine or any other medication the 
investigator feels will affect the test within the last month 
5. Medical history of hypotension, severe hypertension, vasomotor instability, asthma, autoimmune 
disease, severe cardiac, pulmonary or renal disease 
6. Tattoo in the intrascapular test area

For SPT, the infrascapular region of the back to the right of the midline will be cleaned with alcohol wipes and 
allowed to air dry.  Five marks will be made, at least 4 cm apart, to identify the test sites.  These marks will be 
made in a vertical line. The back will be cleaned again with alcohol wipes and allowed to air dry.  A UniTest® PC 
(Lincoln Diagnostics, Inc) will be used, according to the instructions of use, to administer each test article.  If 
blood is drawn, the test will be repeated for that specific site. The test will be repeated at an additional mark made 
along the vertical line.  One minute after completing the pricks, absorbent tissue will be applied to remove residual 
extract, and the back will be covered with a shirt or sheet to keep the back warm.  The subject will be instructed 
not to scratch the test area.

INTRODUCTION 
4.1. 
Background 
Active, healthy individuals are often involved in activities of daily living that put them at risk of 
sustaining acute skin trauma.  Superficial to partial thickness abrasions may be the most 
common,1 but other partial thickness injuries such as burns (450,000 burn injuries resulted in 
medical treatment in 2013)2 and ulcers are also common.  Due to the risk of untreated acute 
partial thickness wounds and burns becoming more serious chronic wounds or full-thickness 
burns, there is pressure on the medical community to find a cost-effective and efficacious wound 
dressing that supports healing.   
KeraStat® Cream is a non-sterile, non-implantable wound dressing intended to act as a protective 
covering and provide a moist environment in the management of a variety of partial thickness 
dermal wounds.  KeraStat® Cream is provided in a screw top tube for multiple uses.  Each tube 
contains 1 oz (29.6 mL) of KeraStat® Cream, which contains 5% keratin protein incorporated 
into a cream base.  
A biological safety profile has been established for KeraStat Cream. Biocompatibility studies 
were chosen and performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2007, “Biological Evaluation of 
Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing.”  Furthermore, KeraStat Cream has been 
subjected to a human subject Repeat Insult Patch Test (RIPT) to evaluate the 
irritation/sensitization potential of the medical device when applied to uncompromised skin. No 
adverse skin reactions were observed in 50 subjects evaluated in the RIPT study and KeraStat 
Cream was considered a non-primary irritant and non-primary sensitizer to the skin. 
The current study is considered a nonsignificant risk (NSR) device study according to Food and 
Drug Administration (FDA) guidance and does not require an Investigational Device Exemption 
(IDE) in advance of study conduct.  NSR device studies must follow the abbreviated 
requirements presented in 21 CFR 812.2(b) related to labeling, Institutional Review Board (IRB) 
approval, informed consent, monitoring, records, reports, and prohibition against promotion. 
4.2. 
Rationale 
When applied, KeraStat Cream covers the wound, isolating it from the external environment, 
absorbing excess exudate and facilitating a moist wound environment for the management of 
partial thickness wounds.  KeraStat Cream contains human hair-derived keratin proteins.  
Keratin, like collagen, is a structural, intermediate filament-forming protein.3 Irrespective of 
what species they reside in, keratin proteins are functionally important for mechanical stability 
and integrity and structure of the hair shaft and cells in the epithelium. These proteins are highly 
conserved between species, with only minor differences in expressed keratin gene sets between 
species.  Human hair and sheep wool in particular are highly similar with equivalent keratin 
intermediate fibers found in each species.4 Keratin proteins have been used for multiple 
applications such as FDA cleared topical wound care products (e.g. Keratec Wound Dressings, 
KeraStat Gel),5 and multiple cosmetic and personal care applications that include hair 
straightening products, shampoos, conditioners, and styling agents, as well as skin care creams 
and ointments that are sold as cosmetics.

The intended use for KeraStat Cream is as a wound dressing for management of partial thickness 
wounds where the normal skin barrier function has been disrupted. The keratin proteins in 
KeraStat Cream are derived from human hair and represent a novel component for use in a 
wound dressing compared to a legally marketed device (KeraStat® Gel) containing keratin 
proteins derived using the same manufacturing process. Animal models used for biocompatibility 
studies may not be fully predictive of the immune, inflammatory, and irritation responses in 
human subjects. While the RIPT study resulted in no observed skin reactions, the assessment is 
conducted on intact skin and there is a need to evaluate the potential for a humoral (B-cell 
mediated) immune response to KeraStat Cream on compromised skin to support its intended use. 
Therefore, a skin prick test is being conducted to support the continued evaluation of the safety 
of this product.

TRIAL OBJECTIVES AND PURPOSE 
5.1. 
Objective 
The objective of the present study is to evaluate the potential for a humoral reaction to KeraStat 
Cream compared to predicate devices. 
6. 
INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
6.1. 
Overall Study Design 
This is a single site, within subject, open-label comparison study to assess the humoral reaction 
KeraStat Cream compared to predicate devices.  The length of study participation for a subject is 
two to three days depending on when a subject returns for their final follow-up evaluation.  The 
Acceptable Study Windows is shown in Table 2. 
Sufficient subjects will be screened such that 20 total subjects will complete the study.  We 
expect excellent retention throughout the duration of the study, so we will target recruitment of 
22 subjects.  The sample size for the study is not based on any statistical considerations.  A total 
of 20 subjects were deemed sufficient to assess the potential for a humoral response to KeraStat 
Cream compared to the predicate devices in support of establishing substantial equivalence.  
Initial screening (Screening Visit; Visit 1) of the subject will take place the day of the SPT 
administration.  The Screening Visit will include collecting demographic information, a brief 
medical history, and an abbreviated physical exam.  If a subject fulfills all the inclusion criteria, 
none of the exclusion criteria, and gives their informed consent they will be admitted into the 
study.  
The SPT will be performed on Day 1 (Visit 1), after screening and consent is obtained.  The test 
will include five agents: the subject device (KeraStat Cream), predicate devices (KeraStat Gel, 
Biafine), positive control (histamine), and negative control (saline).  The SPT will be 
administered on the infrascapular region of the back to the right of the midline.  The region will 
be cleaned with alcohol wipes and allowed to air dry.  Five marks will be made using a sterile 
skin marker to identify the test sits. These marks will be at least 4 cm apart and made in a

vertical line. Once the marks are made, the back will be cleaned again with alcohol wipes and 
allowed to air dry.  All subjects will initially receive the agents in the same order, going in 
descending order from a subjects’ head to feet: subject device, predicate device (KeraStat Gel), 
predicate device (Biafine), positive control, and negative control.   
Each agent will be administered once using the UniTest® PC (Lincoln Diagnostics, Inc), 
following the manufacturer’s instructions for use.  In brief, all five agents are loaded into a well 
tray. A UniTest PC touch post is placed into a well, tip-down, to load an agent onto the touch 
post. Each well contains approximately 250-500 µL. Allow the touch post to sit in the agent for 
at least 5 seconds.  The touch post is removed and placed into contact at the appropriate mark for 
one second then pressed firmly into the skin.  With proper pressure, all test sites should show a 
circular impression with an indented circle in the center surrounded by six dot indentations.  A 
separate touch post is used for each agent. If blood is drawn, the test is repeated at an additional 
mark made along the vertical line.  One minute after completing the pricks, absorbent tissue is 
applied to remove residual extract with care taken to avoid cross contamination of sites. When 
administration of the pricks is completed, the subject’s shirt or a sheet will be used to cover the 
back and keep it warm. The subject will be instructed not to scratch the test area.  
The initial evaluation of the sites will be taken after 15 (±5) minutes following the final SPT 
administration in the series.  When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence or 
absence of a wheal at all five sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present.  In order 
for the SPT to be valid the wheal at the positive site control must exceed that at the negative site 
control by 4 mm.  If the above criteria are not met, the SPT will be repeated in triplicate on the 
infrascapular region of the back to left of the midline, following the same protocol.  Three 
vertical lines will be made with all marks at least 4 cm apart.  If the triplicate re-administration 
fails, the subject will be removed from the study.  
Following the initial reading, the subject will remain at the testing facility. They will wait with 
the pricks covered by their shirt or a sheet for a period of approximately 6 hours. The subject will 
be instructed not to scratch the test area.  During this time, the testing facility will provide a meal 
for the subject.  
A second evaluation will be conducted 6 hours (±15 minutes) after SPT administration on Day 1 
(Visit 1).  Again, the investigator will note the presence or absence of a wheal at each site and 
measure the diameter of each wheal present.  Subjects are free to leave the clinical site after the 
second reading.  Subjects will be instructed to not scratch or irritate the test area and to promptly 
contact the PI and go to the Emergency Room (ER) if symptoms of an allergic reaction or shock 
occur.  
Subjects will return to the clinical site for a third/final test evaluation (Visit 2) one to two days 
after the initial test administration.  When reading the test, the investigator will note the presence 
or absence of a wheal in all five sites and will measure the diameter of each wheal present.  A 
subject will have completed the study after the third/final evaluation has been completed.

Study Endpoints 
The primary objective of the study is to assess the humoral response of KeraStat Cream 
compared to the predicate devices utilizing the following endpoints: 
• Size of wheal for the subject device and predicate devices at 15 minutes post SPT 
administration 
• Size of wheal for the subject device and predicate devices at 6 hours and 1 – 2 days 
post SPT administration 
• Safety of the subjects will be monitored and adverse events recorded throughout the 
duration of the study 
6.4. 
Treatment Assignment 
All subjects will receive all five test agents: KeraStat Cream, KeraStat Gel, Biafine, histamine, 
saline.

STUDY ENDPOINTS 
11.1. 
Positive Reactions 
During all evaluations, each site will be measured for a positive reaction. A positive reaction is 
present when there is a measurable wheal of 3 mm or more, surrounded by a flare. In cases 
where the wheal diameter is non-uniform, the longest wheal diameter should be used for the 
evaluation of the SPT.6,7 Small wheals are to be confirmed by the investigator via palpation.  
11.2. 
Adverse and Serious Adverse Events 
The Investigator is responsible for the detection and documentation of events meeting the criteria 
and definition of a non-serious AE or SAE as provided in this protocol.  During the study, as 
defined from the time of informed consent until completion of study-related procedures, the 
Investigator or site staff will be responsible for detecting and following AEs and SAEs, as 
detailed in this section of the protocol.  Adverse events will be reported by the subject (or, when 
appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the subject’s legally acceptable representative). 
11.2.1. 
Definitions 
11.2.1.1. Adverse Event (AE) 
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable or unintended change in body structure, 
body function, laboratory result (e.g., chemistry, ECG), or worsening of a pre-existing condition 
associated temporally with the use of the test product, whether or not considered related to the 
test product. 
11.2.1.2. Serious Adverse Event (SAE) 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that occurs irrespective of 
study treatment assignment, if it satisfies any of these criteria: results in death; is life-threatening; 
requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization; results in persistent or 
significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life 
functions; or if the event results in a congenital anomaly or birth defect.  All SAEs should be 
reported to the study sponsor within 24 hours of the investigator being aware of the event. 
11.2.2. 
Adverse Event Reporting 
Subjects will be encouraged to spontaneously report any changes in baseline health from the time 
the subject enters the study through study completion.  Study staff also will inquire about AEs on 
each visit while the subject is in the research center.  All AEs/SAEs will be recorded in the 
source document and the case report form (CRF).   
11.3. 
Relationship to Study Device 
11.3.1. 
Assessment of Causality 
The Investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study device and the occurrence 
of each AE/SAE.  The Investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship.

Version:  01 
Effective Date:

KeraNetics 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 24 
DN: PRO-KSCM-CRD-002 
Alternative causes, such as natural history of the underlying diseases, concomitant therapy, other 
risk factors, and the temporal relationship of the event to the study device will be considered and 
investigated.   
The Investigator will assess causality based on the following definitions: 
• Not Related (the AE was more likely explained by causes other than the study 
treatment). 
• Related (the study treatment and AE were closely related in time and the AE may be 
explained by exposure to study product: e.g., known adverse effect or recurrence on re-
challenge). 
11.4. 
Recording Adverse Events 
When an AE occurs, it is the responsibility of the Investigator to review all documentation (e.g., 
medical progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) relative to the event.  The 
Investigator will then record all relevant information regarding an AE in the CRF.  
The Investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the AE based on signs, symptoms, 
and/or other clinical information.  In such cases, the diagnosis should be documented as the 
AE/SAE and not the individual signs/symptoms. 
11.4.1. 
Eliciting Adverse Event Reports 
At each visit, subjects will be asked about AEs by means of a non-leading question, such as 
“how have you been since your last visit?” or “how has the treatment been?”  In this way, 
possibly more mild, but clinically important, side effects of the study device can be detected.  
SAEs will be reported promptly to KeraNetics as described in the following table once the 
Investigator determines that the event meets the protocol definition of a SAE. 
11.4.2. 
Assessment of Intensity 
The Investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE/SAE reported during the 
study.  The assessment will be based on the Investigator’s clinical judgment.  The intensity of 
each AE/SAE recorded in the CRF should be assigned to one of the following categories: 
• Mild:  An event that is easily tolerated by the subject, causing minimal discomfort 
and not interfering with everyday activities. 
• Moderate:  An event that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal 
everyday activities. 
• Severe:  An event that prevents normal everyday activities. 
An AE that is assessed as severe should not be confused with a SAE.  Severity is a category 
utilized for rating the intensity of an event; both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe.   
11.5. 
Reporting Adverse Events 
An unexpected event is one that is not consistent with the subject’s past medical history and is 
not evident from previous clinical experience with the test product or reasonably anticipated

from information known about the test product.  Events that are deemed both serious and 
unexpected involve special handling and reporting requirements to the IRB and FDA. All SAEs 
will be followed until stabilization or improvement. 
11.5.1. 
SAE Reporting Procedures 
Once an Investigator becomes aware that a SAE has occurred in a study subject, she/he will 
report the information as thoroughly as possible with all available details of the event to 
KeraNetics within 24 hours. If the Investigator does not have all information regarding an SAE, 
he/she will not wait to receive additional information before notifying KeraNetics of the event.  
The information regarding the event will be updated when additional information is received. 
The Investigator will always provide an assessment of causality at the time of the initial event 
report as described in Section 11.3.1. An email is the preferred method to transmit this 
information regarding a SAE to the project contact for SAE receipt.  In rare circumstances and in 
the absence of email equipment, notification by telephone is acceptable, with a copy of the event 
details sent by overnight mail.  Initial notification via the telephone does not replace the need for 
the Investigator to complete the SAE report via email within 24 hours. 
11.5.1.1. Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
KeraNetics has a legal responsibility to notify, as appropriate, both the local regulatory authority 
and other regulatory agencies about the safety of a product under clinical investigation.  Prompt 
notification of SAEs by the Investigator to the appropriate project contact for SAE receipt is 
essential so that legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of other subjects 
are met. 
11.5.2. 
Reporting Safety Information to the IRB 
The Investigator, or responsible person according to local requirements, will comply with the 
applicable local regulatory requirements related to the reporting of SAEs to the Institutional 
Review Board (IRB) / Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC). 
11.5.3. 
Protocol Deviations Due to an Emergency or Adverse Event 
Any subject experiencing an emergency or adverse event requiring immediate medical attention 
will receive appropriate medical management by medical staff at the site and at other clinical 
sites as indicated.  These events will be reported to KeraNetics as soon as possible.  If the 
medical management results in departure from the study protocol, the Sponsor will be 
responsible for granting permission for the subject to continue in the trial if the subject is able to 
return to study protocol adherence in a timely fashion.  If the subject cannot return to the study 
protocol in a timely fashion, then the subject will be discontinued from the study. 
11.6. 
Follow-up of Adverse Events 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the Investigator is required to proactively follow each subject 
and provide further information to Sponsor on the subject’s condition. All AEs and SAEs 
documented at a previous visit/contact and designated as ongoing, will be reviewed at 
subsequent visits/contacts.

All AEs and SAEs will be followed until resolution, until the condition stabilizes, until the event 
is otherwise explained, or until the subject is lost to follow-up.  Once resolved, the appropriate 
CRF entries will be updated.   
12. 
STATISTICS 
12.1. 
Description of Statistical Methods 
This is an observational study only; no formal statistics will be performed.  
12.1.1. 
Baseline Data Summary 
Demographic data and subjects’ characteristics (e.g. vital signs) at screening will be listed and 
summarized using descriptive statistics.  Any deviations from inclusion/exclusion criteria will be 
listed. 
12.1.2. 
Responder Summary 
The total number of subjects with a positive skin reaction (i.e. wheal diameter > 3mm) will be 
determined for the subject device and predicate device for each evaluation time point.  The 
proportion of subjects who have a positive response to the subject device will be compared to the 
proportion of subjects who have a positive response to the predicate device.   
12.2. 
Sample Size 
A total of 20 subjects were deemed sufficient to assess the potential for a humoral response to 
KeraStat Cream compared to the predicate devices in support of establishing substantial 
equivalence.  The sample size for the study is not based on any statistical considerations.  
Approximately 22 subjects will be enrolled to assure completion of at least 20 subjects.  
12.3. 
Procedure for Accounting for Triplicate Data 
In the case that a triplicate re-administration is required, wheal diameter will be averaged for 
each test agent.  A subject will be considered to show a positive reaction to the subject device or 
predicate device when the average wheal diameter is greater than 3 mm.   
12.4. 
Analysis of Patients Withdrawing Prematurely from the Study 
All information for withdrawing subjects will be included in the analyses.  Subjects who 
withdraw prematurely from the study will have any completed assessments included in the data 
summary.  
13. 
DIRECT ACCESS TO SOURCE DATA/DOCUMENTS 
13.1. 
Study Monitoring 
In accordance with applicable regulations, ICH-GCP and procedures covering the study, a 
monitor will contact the site prior to the subject enrollment to review the protocol and data

collection procedures with site staff.  In addition, the monitor will periodically contact the site, 
including conducting on-site visits at an appropriate frequency to ensure data quality and to 
ensure the safety and rights of subjects are being protected.   
The Investigator agrees to allow the monitor direct access to all relevant documents and to 
allocate his/her time and the time of his/her staff to the monitor to discuss findings and any 
relevant issues. 
At study closure, monitors will also conduct all activities described in Section 16.3. 
13.2. 
Audits and Inspections 
To ensure compliance with Good Clinical Practices and all applicable regulatory requirements, 
quality assurance audits may occur during the study or after the study is complete.  Authorized 
representatives of KeraNetics, a regulatory authority, an IRB may visit the site to perform audits 
or inspections to examine all study-related activities and documents to determine whether these 
activities were conducted, and data were recorded, analyzed, and accurately reported according 
to the protocol, ICH-GCP, and any applicable regulatory requirements.  
If an audit or inspection occurs, the Investigator and institution agree to allow the 
auditor/inspector direct access to all relevant documents and to allocate his/her time and the time 
of his/her staff to the auditor/inspector to discuss findings and any relevant issues.  The 
Investigator should contact KeraNetics immediately if contacted by a regulatory agency about an 
inspection. 
13.3. 
Institutional Review Board (IRB) 
This study will be conducted in full compliance with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) 
regulations in 21 CFR 56 and applicable local regulatory guidance.  
IRB approval for the investigation must be obtained before the study is initiated.  Initial IRB 
approval, and all materials approved by the IRB for this study including the patient consent form 
and recruitment materials must be maintained by the Investigator and made available for 
inspection. 
The current study is considered a nonsignificant risk (NSR) device study according to FDA 
guidance and does not require an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) in advance of study 
conduct.  NSR device studies must follow the abbreviated requirements presented in 21 CFR 
812.2(b) related to labeling, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, informed consent, 
monitoring, records, reports, and prohibition against promotion. 
14. 
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
To ensure compliance with Good Clinical Practices and all applicable regulatory requirements, 
KeraNetics (or representative of KeraNetics) may conduct a quality assurance audit.  Please see

Protocol Modifications 
The initial protocol as well as all protocol amendments must be signed and dated by the 
Investigator and approved by the IRB prior to implementation of the original protocol and any 
amendment.  The Principal Investigator must submit all protocol modifications to the IRB, as 
applicable for specific Investigators, or applicable local regulatory authority.   
Departures from the protocol will be determined as allowable on a case-by-case basis or in event 
of an emergency involving subject safety.  The Investigator or other physician in attendance 
must contact KeraNetics as soon as possible to discuss the circumstances of the emergency.  
KeraNetics, in concurrence with the Investigator, will decide whether the subject should continue 
to participate in the study.  All protocol deviations and the reason for such deviations must be 
noted on the source document and in the CRF, and reported to the IRB as appropriate. 
15. 
ETHICS  
15.1. 
Ethics Review 
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that this protocol, the site’s informed consent form 
(ICF), and any other information that will be presented to potential subjects (e.g., advertisements 
or information that supports or supplements the informed consent) are reviewed and approved by 
the appropriate IRB.  The Investigator agrees to allow the IRB direct access to all relevant 
documents.  The IRB must be constituted in accordance with all applicable regulatory 
requirements.  KeraNetics will provide the Investigator with relevant document(s)/data that are 
needed for IRB review and approval of the study.  The IRB must approve the study and ICF 
before study device(s) and other study material can be supplied to the site. 
If the protocol, the ICF, or any other information that the IRB has approved for presentation to 
potential subjects is amended during the study, the Investigator is responsible for ensuring the 
IRB reviews and approves, where applicable, these amended documents.  The Investigator must 
follow all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to the use of an amended ICF including 
obtaining IRB approval of the amended form before new subjects consent to take part in the 
study using this version of the form.  Copies of the IRB approval of the amended ICF/other 
information and the approved amended ICF/other information must be maintained in the 
regulatory files at the site. 
15.2. 
Ethical Conduct of the Study 
This study will be conducted in accordance with ICH-GCP guidelines and all applicable 
regulatory requirements, including, where applicable, the Declaration of Helsinki.

Written Informed Consent 
This study will be conducted in full compliance with the informed consent regulations in 21 CFR 
50.  The consent form must be reviewed and approved by the Sponsor prior to submission to the 
IRB.  The consent form must be approved by the IRB prior to initiation of the study.   
No Investigator may involve a human being as a subject in research unless the Investigator has 
obtained the legally effective informed consent of the subject or the subject's legally authorized 
representative.  An Investigator may seek such consent only under circumstances that provide the 
prospective subject or the representative sufficient opportunity to consider whether to participate 
and that minimize the possibility of coercion or undue influence.  The information given to the 
subject or the representative must be in a language understandable to the subject or the 
representative.  No informed consent, whether oral or written, may include any exculpatory 
language through which the subject or the representative is made to waive or appear to waive any 
of the subject's legal rights, or releases or appears to release the Investigator, the institution, the 
Sponsor, or its agents from liability for negligence. 
An IRB-approved consent form should inform each prospective subject or the legally authorized 
representative of each prospective subject of the purpose and the nature of the study, it’s possible 
hazards and benefits, and the subject's right to withdraw from the study at any time without 
prejudice to further treatment.  Exemptions to the requirement for informed consent in the United 
States are described in 21 CFR 50.23. 
The Investigator(s) at each center will ensure that the patient is given full and adequate oral and 
written information about the nature, purpose, possible risk and benefit of the study.  Patients 
must also be notified that they are free to discontinue from the study at any time.  The patient 
should be given the opportunity to ask questions and allowed time to consider the information 
provided. 
The Investigator is responsible for obtaining written consent (signed and dated ICF) from 
potential subjects prior to performing any tests or assessments required by the protocol.  A copy 
of the signed consent document will be given to the subject and the original retained by the 
Investigator. 
16. 
DATA HANDLING AND RECORDKEEPING 
16.1. 
Case Report Form Completion and Source Documentation 
The Investigator is required to prepare and maintain adequate and accurate case histories 
designed to record all observations and other data pertinent to the study for each study 
participant.  Subject data are collected by the Investigator or designee using source documents 
that are transferred to a CRF, defined by KeraNetics. Subject data necessary for analysis and 
reporting will be entered onto the source documents and then provided to the Sponsor as an 
electronic compilation of raw data from source documents via secure file exchange. 
All information entered in the CRFs must be consistent with the subject's source documentation 
(i.e., medical records).  The Investigator is responsible for the accuracy of the data transcribed 
from all source documentation. CRF entries should be made within a reasonable timeframe from

the time of a subject’s visit.  A monitor representing the Sponsor will verify the CRF 
documentation for each subject against the source documents at the study center.  Instances of 
missing or uninterpretable data will be brought to the attention of the Investigator and/or Sponsor 
for resolution.   
16.2. 
Data Management 
Clinical data management will be performed in accordance with applicable study standards and 
data cleaning procedures.  Database lock will occur when data management quality control 
procedures are completed.   
16.3. 
Study Site Close-Out 
Upon completion of the study, the monitor may conduct the following activities in conjunction 
with the Investigator or site staff, as appropriate: 
1. Resolve data queries. 
2. Accountability, reconciliation, and return of unused study device(s). 
3. Review of final site study records for completeness. 
4. Return all study-specific equipment to KeraNetics. 
16.4. 
Retention of Study Documents and Records 
Following closure of the study, the Investigator must maintain all site study records in a safe and 
secure location.  All study-related data will be retained by and are the sole property of 
KeraNetics.  The Investigator will retain a copy of all source documents and CRF data (i.e., 
DVD-ROM containing pdf files of data) for the subjects enrolled at the site.  The records must be 
maintained to allow easy and timely retrieval, when needed (e.g., audit or inspection).  Where 
permitted by local laws/regulations or institutional policy, some or all of these records can be 
maintained in a format other than hard copy (e.g., microfiche, scanned, electronic); however, 
caution needs to be exercised before such action is taken.  The Investigator must assure that all 
reproductions are legible and are a true and accurate copy of the original and meet accessibility 
and retrieval standards, including re-generating a hard copy, if required.  Furthermore, the 
Investigator must ensure there is an acceptable back-up of these reproductions and that an 
acceptable quality control process exists for making these reproductions. 
KeraNetics will inform the Investigator of the time period for retaining these records to comply 
with all applicable regulatory requirements.  The minimum retention time will meet the strictest 
standard applicable to that site for the study, as dictated by any institutional requirements or local 
laws or regulations, or KeraNetics standards/procedures; otherwise, the retention period will 
default to 5 years. 
The Investigator must notify KeraNetics of any changes in the archival arrangements, including, 
but not limited to, the following: archival at an off-site facility, transfer of ownership of the 
records in the event the Investigator leaves the site.
