SYNOPSIS 
TITLE:  Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2, Dose-Finding Study to 
Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of LIB003 in Patients on Stable Lipid-Lowering Therapy 
Requiring Additional LDL-C Reduction 
PROTOCOL NUMBER:  LIB003-002 
INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT:  LIB003 
PHASE:  2 
INDICATION(S): Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction in patients with 
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), high risk of ASCVD, or heterozygous familial 
hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) who need additional LDL-C reduction 
OBJECTIVES: 
The co-primary objectives of this study are to assess the percent change from baseline in LDL-C 
level as the mean of weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 (both calculated by Friedewald formula) 
with monthly (Q4W) dosing of various doses of LIB003 administered subcutaneously (SC) in 
patients with hypercholesterolemia on stable diet and oral LDL-C-lowering drug therapy. The 
secondary objectives of this study are the following: 
• To re-assess the LDL-C lowering effects of the primary objectives with LDL-C calculated by 
Hopkins formula or preparative ultracentrifugation; 
• To assess safety and tolerability of various multiple doses of LIB003;  
• To assess the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of various multiple doses of LIB003 on plasma 
unbound (free) proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) concentrations;  
• To assess the effects of LIB003 on serum lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), high-density 
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non–HDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 
(VLDL-C), and triglycerides (TG); 
• To assess the effects of LIB003 on apolipoprotein (apo) B, apo A1, and lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) 
serum concentrations;  
• To assess the PK of LIB003 and PCSK9 following various multiple doses of LIB003; and   
• To assess the frequency of anti-drug (anti-LIB003) antibodies (immunogenicity) following 
multiple SC doses of LIB003. 
The exploratory objectives of this study are the following: 
• To assess the effect on LDL-C and free PCSK9 6 and 8 weeks after the last dose of LIB003, 
and 
• To assess the effects on other lipid and cardiovascular risk biomarkers as appropriate.

POPULATION: 
The population for this study includes men and women who are ≥18 years of age with either 
ASCVD, at high ASCVD risk (≥10% 5-year or ≥7.5% 10-year risk*), and a calculated LDL-C 
(Friedewald) ≥80 mg/dL (ASCVD or high CVD risk) or ≥100 mg/dL (HeFH and no CVD) and 
TG ≤400 mg/dL on stable lipid-lowering oral drug therapy (eg, statin with or without ezetimibe). 
Patients unable to tolerate statins or approved doses of a statin may take lower than approved 
doses and less frequently than daily as long the dose and dosing frequency is consistent.

STUDY DESIGN AND DURATION: 
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, Phase 2 study of 12 weeks 
duration, followed by a 4-week assessment period. Approximately 80 men and women aged 
≥18 years who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled at up to 5 sites in the 
United States. There will be 3 active and 1 matching placebo treatment groups; In each group 
there will be 3 LIB003 patients randomized for every 1 placebo patient (ie, 20 LIB003 patients 
per treatment group and 20 placebo). LIB003 150 mg or placebo will be administered SC Q4W; 
LIB003 300 mg or placebo will be administered SC Q4W; LIB003 350 mg or placebo will be 
administered SC Q4W as shown in the figure below.   
LIB003-002 Phase 2 Study Design  
 
 
 
ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; CVD = cardiovascular disease; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; 
HeFH = heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia; OLE = optional longer-term extension; Q4W = every 4 weeks; 
SC = subcutaneous; W = week; wk = week.

Study procedures 
Following randomization and dosing on Day 1, patients will be seen in clinic every 2 weeks for 
16 weeks; all patients will receive doses of LIB003 or matching placebo on Days 1, 29 (Week 4), 
and 57 (Week 8). In addition to a basic lipid profile, LDL-C will be measured by preparative 
ultracentrifugation at specified visits during the study. An aliquot of the lipid specimen at 
randomization will be stored for later analysis of exploratory biomarkers. All lipid, PK, and 
PCSK9 results from the baseline measurements on Day 1 onward will be blinded to the 
Investigator and all site and Sponsor personnel involved in the study. Final safety assessments will 
include adverse events and the results from physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), 
clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), and immunogenicity 
testing. Injection site reactions will be assessed at each visit. An optional longer-term extension 
study for patients completing the base study is being explored, which would be a separate protocol 
and require separate informed consent. 
DOSAGE FORMS AND ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION: 
All doses of LIB003 (150 mg, 300 mg, or 350 mg) or matching placebo will be prepared by 
unblinded pharmacists and administered as a SC injection by unblinded clinic personnel who will 
not participate further in the evaluation of subjects. 
PHARMACOKINETIC VARIABLES: 
Pharmacokinetic parameters will include maximum observed concentration (Cmax), time of 
maximum observed plasma concentration (Tmax), serum elimination half-life (T-HALF), area 
under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of last quantifiable serum 
concentration (AUC0-t), AUC across the dosing interval from time of dose to time just prior to the 
next dose (4 weeks) (AUC0-4wks), AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinite time (AUCinf), apparent 
total body clearance (CL/F), and apparent volume of distribution (Vz/F) of total LIB003. 
Additional PK parameters may be calculated if deemed appropriate. 
Total serum PCSK9 concentrations at different time points will also be assessed.  
PHARMACODYNAMIC VARIABLES:  
The PD parameters include changes in LDL-C (calculated and measured), unbound (free) PCSK9 
concentrations, serum lipid parameters [TC, HDL-C, non–HDL-C, VLDL-C, and TG), apo B, 
apo A1, and Lp(a)]. 
SAFETY VARIABLES:  
Safety assessments will include adverse events and the results of vital sign measurements, ECGs, 
physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, and immunogenicity evaluations. Injection site 
reactions will be monitored by physical examination. The incidence of observed adverse events 
will be tabulated and reviewed for potential significance and clinical importance.

STATISTICAL ANALYSES: 
Efficacy Analyses 
The co-primary objectives of this study are to assess the percent change from baseline in LDL-C 
level as the mean of weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 (both calculated by Friedewald formula) 
with monthly (Q4W) dosing of various doses of LIB003 administered SC in patients with 
hypercholesterolemia on stable diet and oral LDL-C-lowering drug therapy. Percent change from 
baseline in LDL-C will be analyzed with analysis of variance model with treatment as a factor. 
Other efficacy variables will be analyzed similarly. 
Pharmacodynamic Analyses 
Pharmacodynamic analysis will be performed based on the PD Population, which is defined as all 
subjects with any post-baseline PD measurement. Pharmacodynamic and exploratory endpoints 
will be summarized at each visit, as well as percent change or change from baseline. Inferential 
analysis may be performed if data grants.  
Safety Analyses 
The safety endpoint data will be summarized for the Safety Population, which is defined as all 
subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Adverse events will be coded using the latest 
version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. A general summary of the adverse 
events and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be summarized by overall number of adverse 
events, severity, and relationship to study drug per treatment group. The number of adverse events 
leading to withdrawal and SAEs leading to death will also be summarized. The incidence of 
adverse events will be summarized by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. 
The safety laboratory data will be summarized by visit and by treatment group, along with changes 
from baseline. The values that are below the lower limit or above the upper limit of the reference 
range will be flagged for safety but not efficacy parameters. Those values or changes in values 
that are identified as being clinically significant will be flagged. Laboratory abnormalities of 
special interest, such as liver function tests, will be summarized. 
Vital signs and 12-lead ECGs will also be summarized by visit and by treatment group, along with 
the changes from baseline. Abnormal physical examination findings will be listed. 
Immunogenicity data will be listed. Patients testing positive for LIB003 antibodies will be tested 
for neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) and titer, and may be further characterized for isotype, binding 
site, affinity and presence of immune complexes.  
Subjects who test positive for binding, non-neutralizing antibodies and have clinical sequelae that 
are considered safety related may be asked to return for additional monthly follow-up testing.  
In the case of positive NAbs at the final visit (week 16) patients will be asked to return for 
follow‑up testing every 3 months until either NAbs are no longer detectable or the subject has 
been followed for a period of at least 12 months. For patients who test positive but have not 
received active drug follow-up testing will not be required.

SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION: 
The number of subjects is based on administration of LIB003 in each treatment group achieving 
a statistically significant (p<0.01) 50% reduction in LDL-C at Week 12 compared to the placebo 
group. In terms of safety, while the number of subjects is not based on statistical consideration 
there is an 80% probability of observing at least 1 occurrence in a LIB003 treatment group of any 
adverse event which would occur with a 24% incidence in the population from which the sample 
is drawn. Approximately 80 patients will participate in this clinical study, including 60 to receive 
LIB003 and 20 to receive placebo.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION  
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in 
industrialized countries and, despite progress in treatment, is projected to cause >22 million deaths 
over the next 15 years.1 Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) has been identified as one 
of the major, and easily modifiable, risk factors for atherosclerosis.2 Significant ASCVD benefit 
has been achieved since the introduction of statin therapy to reduce LDL-C.2 However, significant 
unmet medical need remains for additional LDL-C reduction in patients with existing ASCVD and 
those at increased cardiovascular risk, including patients unable to tolerate statins or effective 
doses of statins and those with more severe elevations of LDL-C, such as those with familial 
hypercholesterolemia (FH).3 Data from the Cholesterol Treatment Trialists’ Collaboration has 
provided evidence that for every 1 mmol/L (~39 mg/dL) reduction in LDL-C, the risk of major 
cardiovascular events is reduced by 24%, although these data were collected mostly with statins.2 
The recent cardiovascular outcome study with proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 
(PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and evolocumab (Repatha®) and alirocumab (Praluent®) 
studies, the FOURIER and ODYSSEY Outcome studies, respectively, have confirmed this 
relationship for non–statin-lowering of LDL-C.4,5 Furthermore, recent data from a number of 
studies, including post hoc analysis of the IMPROVE-IT and Phase 3 alirocumab (Praluent®) 
studies, plus the FOURIER and SPIRE (Cardiovascular Efficacy and Safety of Bococizumab in 
High-Risk Patients) studies, have shown that the relationship between absolute LDL-C reduction 
and ASCVD event reduction remains linear and extends to very low LDL-C levels of <15 mg/dL 
without signals of adverse events either from PCSK9 inhibition or very low LDL-C.6,7,8,9,10,11 
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 is a circulating protein secreted mainly by the liver 
that plays a significant role in the recycling of hepatic low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs) 
and has been identified as a validated drug target for reduction of LDL-C. The LDLR is the primary 
pathway for LDL-C elimination from circulation; plasma PCSK9 binds to the hepatic LDLR along 
with LDL-C, targeting the receptor for degradation after endocytosis and thus reducing the 
expression of LDLRs available to remove LDL-C from circulation. Gain-of-function mutations of 
PCSK9 are associated with elevated LDL-C and constitute a third cause of FH and accelerated 
ASCVD, while loss-of-function mutations of PCSK9 are associated with reduced levels of LDL-C 
and reductions in ASCVD.4,5,11,12 Adverse effects or other metabolic disturbances have not been 
observed in subjects carrying loss-of-function PCSK9 mutations, even in a compound 
heterozygote with no detectable PCSK9 levels and strikingly low LDL-C (14 mg/dL), although 
recent Mendelian randomization studies have suggested the potential for increased diabetes in 
patients with impaired glucose tolerance or metabolic syndrome similar to that seen with 
statins.5,13,14 Nonclinical studies in PCSK9 knockout or overexpressing mice revealed phenotypes 
consistent with the human clinical data.15 Together, the clinical and nonclinical data for the PCSK9 
mechanism of action provide a strong genetic proof of concept for targeting PCSK9 to reduce 
plasma LDL-C levels and lower the risk of coronary heart disease. Based on these observations, 
PCSK9 inhibition is a promising target for developing new non-mAb therapies for reduction of 
plasma cholesterol levels. 
LIB Therapeutics has developed LIB003, a Chinese hamster ovary-cell line-derived recombinant 
fusion protein therapeutic agent consisting of a PCSK9-binding domain and human serum albumin 
(HSA). The HSA contains an alanine substituted for the naturally occurring cysteine at residue 34. 
The PCSK9-binding domain (Adnectin) in LIB003 is derived from the 10th type III domain of 
human fibronectin modified by messenger ribonucleic acid display technology to bind selected

17 
targets with high affinity. LIB003 has been designed to target PCSK9 and binds to human PCSK9 
with picomolar affinity in a concentration-dependent manner. The binding of LIB003 to PCSK9 
blocks the interaction between PCSK9 and LDLR, which thereby prevents LDLR degradation, 
increases LDLR recycling, enhances LDL-C clearance, and lowers plasma LDL-C levels. Based 
on this mechanism of action, LIB003 is being developed as an adjunct subcutaneous (SC) therapy 
for the reduction of LDL-C in patients with homozygous and heterozygous FH (HeFH), ASCVD, 
or high risk of ASCVD who require additional LDL-C reduction. 
Based on in vitro and in vivo data demonstrating that LIB003 was unable to bind rodent PCSK9 
with sufficient affinity to modulate pharmacology in wild type rodents, no rodent toxicity studies 
were performed in accordance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) 
Guideline S6.16,17,18 To assess the overall toxicity risk of exposing human subjects to LIB003, 
Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) 4-week repeat-dose and 12-week repeat-dose toxicity studies 
were conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. These studies demonstrated that LIB003 was clinically 
well tolerated with no adverse findings at all doses tested (30 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg SC doses; 
100 mg/kg intravenous [IV] dose [4-week study only]). The highest dose of 100 mg/kg was 
considered the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in both studies.    
In this current study, as with now numerous studies with mAbs that inhibit PCSK9, inhibition with 
LIB003 is not expected to adversely impact the cardiovascular system since both PCSK9-null mice 
and compound heterozygous humans with PCSK9 loss-of-function mutations exhibit no 
discernable cardiovascular phenotype.19,20,21 Moreover, extensive clinical studies inhibiting 
PCSK9 with monoclonal antibodies have shown only cardiovascular benefit.4,5,7,8,9,10,18,19,20, 
Evaluation of the effect of LIB003 on the cardiovascular, central nervous, and respiratory systems 
were included as part of the 4-week GLP toxicity studies in cynomolgus monkeys in accordance 
with ICH S6 and S7 Guidances.16 Results from the study revealed that repeated administration of 
LIB003 had no effect on cardiovascular, central nervous system, or respiratory function. No 
genotoxicity studies were conducted with LIB003 as LIB003 is a fusion protein that does not 
contain an organic linker or any chemical moiety and, therefore, lacks potential for mutagenesis.  
LIB003 has been studied in a Phase 1 SAD study of 63 subjects, 45 on LIB003 and 18 placebo, 
monitored post dose for at least 43 days. Subcutaneous doses of LIB003 25 mg, 75 mg, 150 mg, 
300 mg, and 600 mg were administered to healthy subjects on no lipid-lowering therapy who had 
baseline LDL-C ≥100 and ≤190 mg/dL, and the 150 mg and 300 mg doses were administered to 
patients on stable statin therapy with baseline LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL. All subjects had TG 
≤250 mg/dL. LIB003 was safe and well tolerated following single SC and IV dosing in healthy 
subjects at all doses both for SC and IV administration as well as in patients with 
hypercholesterolemia on statin therapy at 150 mg and 300 mg given SC. A summary of adverse 
events is provided in Table 1 and summarized below.

Table 1. LIB003-001 Summary of Adverse Events 
 
There were no deaths or discontinuations due to adverse events. 
One placebo treated subject experienced a moderate treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) 
that was considered not related to study drug; the subject, a 61-year-old male on statin who 
received placebo in cohort 9 (LIB003 300 mg SC or placebo group), experienced an episode of 
syncope with rapid heart rate and was found to be in atrial fibrillation 48 hours following 
administration of study drug. The patient was transported to the emergency room and admitted to 
the hospital, but within a few hours spontaneously reverted to sinus rhythm before being seen by 
a cardiologist and discharged from the hospital. Subsequent follow up with the cardiologist 
included stress ECHO test and Holter monitoring, which were normal and resulted in no further 
treatment or intervention.   
A total of 6 of 18 (33%) of 18 placebo subjects and 13 of 45 (29%) LIB003 subjects reported at 
least 1 TEAE; none of the TEAEs were considered serious or drug related (Table 1) 
The most common adverse events reported (by more than 1 subject) were respiratory infections, 
gastrointestinal, eye (blurred vision), CNS (headache) and musculoskeletal; all other adverse 
events were reported by 1 subject only. None appeared dose related or more frequent in LIB003 
treated subjects compared to placebo 
One of the adverse events that was considered clinically significant was a 39-year-old male subject 
who received 300 mg LIB003 IV and experienced swelling of his lips 48 hours after study drug. 
This was confirmed on examination as mild, not affecting speech, food, or fluid intake. There was 
no evidence of tongue or soft palate edema and the subject denied any difficulty swallowing or 
breathing. The subject denied any other symptoms, such as rash or pruritus. There was no evidence 
of any reaction at the infusion site. He had no history of similar symptoms or known drug or food 
allergies. His vitals, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and 48-hour safety labs were unremarkable. The 
subject received oral Benadryl 50 mg and Ranitidine 75 mg (which he continued twice daily 
[BID]). The Benadryl was replaced with cetirizine 10 mg orally (PO) daily and the subject was 
monitored as an outpatient after completing Day 4 in the inpatient unit. The swelling subsided after 
2 to 3 more days without further intervention. 
There were no other clinically remarkable vital sign measurements, physical examination findings, 
physical measurement findings, or clinically remarkable trends from baseline to discharge.

There were no clinically remarkable trends observed in laboratory findings. A number of subjects 
in both LIB003 and placebo experienced spikes in CK that were clearly related exercise or 
excessive or unusual physical activity and CK decreased at subsequent testing. 
There were no adverse events based on electrocardiogram (ECG) findings or nor were there any 
findings that were assessed as clinically significant by the investigator. 
Anti-LIB003 antibodies were detected in 2 subjects: One subject treated with 25 mg SC of LIB003 
developed low titer ADAs at Day 43; the titers remained low on monthly follow-up, with a stable 
titer of 160 after 3 months. The second subject was treated with 600 mg IV of LIB003 and 
developed an ADA response at Day 22, which became progressively more positive, with higher 
titers by Day 43. The patient was followed at weekly intervals until day 57 when LDL-C returned 
to within 20% of baseline and will continue to be followed at monthly intervals after day 57 until 
ADAs become negative or are deemed stable. There were no associated clinical or laboratory 
adverse effects noted and there did not appear to be any neutralizing impact on efficacy (ie, no 
neutralizing antibodies [Nabs] although these were not directly tested) as suppression of free 
PCSK9 and LDL-C reduction, which extended past 43 days, did not appear attenuated compared 
to other subjects treated with LIB003 in the same cohort. 
In summary to date, no specific risks have been identified in the nonclinical or clinical 
development of LIB003.  
1.1 
Rationale 
This Phase 2 study of LIB003 is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 
dose-finding study of 12 weeks duration, followed by a 4-week assessment period. Approximately 
80 men and women aged ≥18 years who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled 
at up to 5 sites in the United States. There will be 3 active and 1 matching placebo treatment 
groups; in each group there will be 3 LIB003 patients randomized for every 1 placebo patient 
(ie, 20 LIB003 patients per treatment group and 20 placebo). LIB003 150 mg or placebo will be 
administered SC every 4 weeks (Q4W); LIB003 300 mg or placebo will be administered SC Q4W; 
LIB003 350 mg or placebo will be administered SC Q4W. In a Phase 1 study in both patients on 
statins and subjects not on statin, all with LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL, single doses of LIB003 150 mg 
and 300 mg were assessed (Section 4.2 Tables 2, 3 and 4; Figures 2, 3 and 4). The 150 mg dose 
suppressed free PCSK9 and LDL-C maximally for approximately 4 weeks in subjects not on 
statins, however the dose did not reduce free PCSK9 or LDL-C sufficiently in all statin treated 
patients for 4 weeks. The single 300 mg dose, in both non-statin and statin-treated subjects, 
provided more stable and maximal reductions in free PCSK9, LDL-C, and apo B. In addition, it is 
anticipated, based on prior data from studies with mAbs, that multiple dosing will result in longer 
duration of both free PCSK9 suppression and LDL-C reduction. Furthermore, extensive prior data, 
shows that patients on high intensity statins and those with FH, who have higher baseline PCSK9 
levels and likely increased synthesis of PCSK9, will require 300 mg or higher doses in order to 
suppress both free PCSK9 and LDL C fully for 4 weeks. 
Based on these results and an objective of achieving optimal dosing Q4W these 2 doses plus one 
slightly higher (350 mg) will be explored in a larger group of patients with CVD, high risk for 
ASCVD or HeFH and treated with a greater range of statins and/or ezetimibe to assess the effect 
of multiple doses of LIB003 on achieving maximal PCSK9 and LDL-C reduction with Q4W 
dosing. These doses will be explored in the intended target patient population, patients with

Confidential & Proprietary 
Version 1.1, 24July 2018 
20 
ASCVD, or at high risk for ASCVD who, on stable statin treatment and/or ezetimibe, still have 
LDL-C levels ≥80 mg/dL or if FH and no CVD, an LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL and triglycerides (TG) 
≤400 mg/dL. The enrollment of all of these subjects will support the assessment of the appropriate 
dose(s) that are effective, safe, and tolerable in a patient population with key characteristics of the 
target patient population for ultimate use of the medication. Their inclusion in this study will 
further enable the evaluation of the LDL-C–lowering effects of LIB003 in a statin-treated 
population in order to select the optimal dose to achieve maximal LDL-C reduction when dosed 
Q4W. Safety and pharmacodynamic (PD) data derived from the study will support the enrollment 
of these subjects and dose selection in subsequent Phase 3 studies.  
1.2 
Risk/Benefit 
Subjects will receive no known clinical benefit from participating in the study beyond that of an 
assessment of their overall health status.   
LIB003 at doses up to 600 mg given both SC and IV was shown to reduce LDL-C levels and was 
safe and well tolerated in a Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) clinical study. Two subjects in 
the phase 1 study developed anti-LIB003 antibodies (ADAs) at doses either below or above the 
doses to be studied in the phase 2 trial. Neither subject exhibited any adverse clinical or laboratory 
effects or a reduced LDL-C response. LIB003 has also been well tolerated in nonclinical studies, 
and the studies conducted to date have demonstrated an acceptable safety profile for LIB003 to 
support the initiation of this Phase 2 clinical study. Therefore, the risk to subjects in this study is 
considered low.

STUDY OBJECTIVES 
2.1 
Primary Objective 
The co-primary objectives of this study are to assess the percent change from baseline in LDL-C 
level as the mean of weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 (both calculated by Friedewald formula) with 
monthly (Q4W) dosing of various doses of LIB003 administered SC in patients with 
hypercholesterolemia on stable diet and oral LDL-C-lowering drug therapy.   
2.2 
Secondary Objectives 
The secondary objectives of this study are the following: 
• To re-assess the LDL-C-lowering effects of the primary objectives with LDL-C calculated by 
Hopkins formula or preparative ultracentrifugation; 
• To assess safety and tolerability of various multiple doses of LIB003;  
• To assess the PD effects of various multiple doses of LIB003 on plasma unbound (free) PCSK9 
concentrations;  
• To assess the effects of LIB003 on serum lipids, including total cholesterol (TC), high-density 
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), non–HDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 
(VLDL-C), and TG; 
• To assess the effects of LIB003 on apolipoprotein (apo) B, apo A1, and lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) 
serum concentrations;  
• To assess the PK of LIB003 and PCSK9 following various multiple doses of LIB003; and  
• To assess the frequency of anti-drug (anti-LIB003) antibodies (ADAs) (immunogenicity) 
following multiple SC doses of LIB003. 
2.3 
Exploratory Objectives  
The exploratory objectives of this study are the following:  
• To assess the effect on LDL-C and free PCSK9 6 and 8 weeks after the last dose of LIB003, 
and

STUDY DESCRIPTION 
3.1 
Summary of Study Design 
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding, Phase 2 study of 12 weeks 
duration, followed by a 4-week follow-up assessment period. Approximately 80 men and women 
aged ≥18 years who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled at up to 5 sites in 
the United States. There will be 3 active and 1 matching placebo treatment groups; in each group 
there will be 3 LIB003 patients randomized for every 1 placebo patient (ie, 20 LIB003 patients per 
treatment group and 20 placebo). LIB003 150 mg or placebo will be administered SC Q4W; 
LIB003 300 mg or placebo will be administered SC Q4W; LIB003 350 mg or placebo will be 
administered SC Q4W as shown in Figure 1 below.  
Following randomization and dosing on Day 1, patients will be seen in clinic every 2 weeks for 
16 weeks; all patients will receive doses of LIB003 or matching placebo on Days 1, 29 (Week 4), 
and 57 (Week 8). In addition to a basic lipid profile, LDL-C will be measured by preparative 
ultracentrifugation at specified visits during the study. An aliquot of the lipid specimen at 
randomization will be stored for later analysis of exploratory biomarkers. All lipid, PK, and 
PCSK9 results from the baseline measurements on Day 1 onward will be blinded to the 
Investigator and all site and Sponsor personnel involved in the study. Final safety assessments will 
include adverse events and the results from physical examinations, ECGs, clinical laboratory tests 
(hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), and immunogenicity testing. Injection site 
reactions will be monitored by physical examination. Patients testing positive for LIB003 
antibodies will be tested for neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) and titers, and may be further 
characterized for isotype, binding site, affinity and presence of immune complexes. Subjects who 
test positive for binding, non-neutralizing antibodies and have clinical sequelae that are considered 
safety related may be asked to return for additional monthly follow-up testing. In the case of 
positive NAbs at the final visit (week 16) patients will be asked to return for follow‑up testing 
every 3 months until either NAbs are no longer detectable or the subject has been followed for a 
period of at least 12 months. For patients who test positive but have not received active drug 
follow-up testing will not be required. An optional longer-term extension study for patients 
completing the base study is being explored, which would be a separate protocol and require 
separate informed consent.

STUDY TREATMENTS 
4.1 
Treatment Groups 
Following determination of eligibility, approximately 80 subjects will participate in this Phase 2, 
dose-finding clinical study, including approximately 60 subjects to receive LIB003 and 20 subjects 
to receive placebo. This study will consist of 3 separate dose groups and 1 placebo group. Patients 
will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio within each dose group to receive 3 SC doses of LIB003 or 
placebo for a total of 20 patients on 150 mg, 300 mg or 350 mg of LIB003 or placebo. The study 
population will include subjects with LDL-C levels ≥80 mg/dL or ≥100 mg/dL based on global 
CVD risk and TG levels ≤400 mg/dL who are on lipid-lowering therapy consisting of stable 
tolerated statin therapy and/or ezetimibe.  
4.2 
Rationale for Dosing 
LIB Therapeutics is developing LIB003 with the goal of achieving maximal and stable LDL-C 
lowering with a 4-week dosing interval. In a Phase 1 SAD study, SC doses of LIB003 25 mg, 
75 mg, 150 mg, 300 mg, and 600 mg were administered to healthy subjects not on lipid lowering 
therapy who had baseline LDL-C ≥100 and ≤190 mg/dL, and the 150 mg and 300 mg doses were 
administered to patients on stable statin therapy with baseline LDL-C ≥100 mg/dL and 
triglycerides (TG) ≤250 mg/dL in all subjects. Two additional cohorts of healthy subjects not on 
lipid lowering therapy with the same lipid entry criteria as their SC cohorts received LIB003 
300 mg and 600 mg IV. The study was placebo controlled and double blind. In each cohort there 
were 5 LIB-003- and 2 placebo-treated patients.  
Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 and Figures 2, 3 and 4 display the results of free PCSK9, LDL-C by 
preparative ultracentrifugation, and apo B, respectively. Mean reductions in free PCSK9 were 
rapid with all doses and reached more than 99% within 12 hours and were sustained for at least 
3 weeks (Day 22) in the cohorts not on lipid lowering therapy receiving ≥150 mg of LIB003. While 
the 300 mg dose maintained 99% suppression of free PCSK9 for 29 days, in the 150 mg non-lipid 
lowering subjects it had decreased to 88% and in those on statins to 46%. The reductions in free 
PCSK9 were reflected in reductions of LDL-C and apo B where greater reductions were 
maintained in subjects not on lipid lowering therapy but were not sustained after 3 weeks (Day 22) 
in patients on statins. The single 300 mg dose, in both non-statin and statin-treated subjects 
provided stable and maximal reductions in both LDL-C and apo B. It is fully anticipated that 
patients on statins and also subjects with FH, who have higher baseline PCSK9 levels and 
increased synthesis of PCSK9, require 300 mg or higher doses in order to suppress both free 
PCSK9 and LDL-C fully for 4 weeks. It is also anticipated that multiple doses of LIB003 will 
provide longer duration of efficacy.

Based on these data, the doses selected for Q4W dosing in this Phase 2, dose-finding study include 
150 mg, 300 mg, and 350 mg. All 3 doses are anticipated to be safe based on the lack of adverse 
event findings at both human LIB003 exposure in Phase 1 up to 600 mg both SC and IV and levels 
achieved in the 12-week non-human primate GLP toxicology study. Two subjects in the phase 1 
study developed anti-LIB003 antibodies (ADAs) at doses either below or above the doses to be 
studied in the phase 2 trial. Neither subject exhibited any adverse clinical or laboratory effect or a 
reduced LDL-C response. 
4.3 
Randomization and Blinding 
This study follows a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. Within each dosing 
group subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio within each dose group to receive 1 of 3 doses of 
LIB003, 150 mg, 300 mg, or 350 mg dose or placebo on Days 1, 29, and 57 according to a 
computer-generated randomization scheme. Because the color of the study drug product and 
placebo will not be identical, all therapy will be prepared by an unblinded pharmacist and 
administered by unblinded nurses who will be instructed not to discuss randomized treatment 
assignments. Neither the pharmacist nor nurse(s) administering the study drug will be involved in 
any other aspects of the study or subject contact. 
In addition to the treatment blind, all lipid, ADA, PK, and PCSK9 results from the baseline 
measurements on Day 1 onward will be blinded to the Investigator and study personnel involved 
in the study at both the clinical site and LIB Therapeutics.  
4.4 
Breaking the Blind 
At the initiation of the study, the Investigator will be instructed on the method for breaking the 
blind. Blinding is not to be broken during the study unless considered necessary by the Investigator 
for emergency situations for reasons of subject safety. Unblinding at the clinical site for any other 
reason will be considered a protocol deviation. The Investigator should contact the Medical 
Monitor before breaking the blind, if time permits. When the blind is broken, the reason must be 
fully documented. 
In cases of accidental unblinding, contact the Medical Monitor and ensure every attempt to 
preserve the blind is made. 
4.5 
Drug Supplies 
4.5.1 Formulation and Packaging 
The drug product is a 250 mg/mL solution packaged in 0.85 mL volumes in 2 mL clear glass vials 
with stoppers and aluminum crimp seals.  
The LIB003 formulation contains 20 mM histidine, 150 mM sodium chloride, 
0.02% Polysorbate 80 at pH 6.8, which are common excipients at concentrations used in approved 
protein therapeutics administered as SC doses.  
4.5.2 Study Drug Preparation and Dispensing 
Trained medical personnel will administer LIB003 or placebo to subjects within the clinical 
facility. Site personnel should ensure that the study drug is stored in accordance with the 
environmental conditions (temperature, light, and humidity) as determined by LIB Therapeutics

as outlined in the pharmacy manual. If concerns regarding the quality or appearance of the study 
drug arise, do not dispense the study drug and contact LIB Therapeutics immediately. 
Instructions for LIB003 preparation are documented in a separate pharmacy manual. 
4.5.3 Study Drug Administration 
Study drug (LIB003 or matching placebo) will be administered by SC injection on Days 1, 29, and 
57. Study drug will be administered under the supervision of the unblinded site personnel who will 
not be involved in further subject assessments. 
Dosing instructions as well as materials required for storage, preparation, and administration are 
documented in the separate pharmacy manual. 
4.5.4 Treatment Compliance 
Treatment compliance will be dependent on the preparation and administration of study drug by 
the unblinded site personnel. 
4.5.5 Storage and Accountability  
Study Drug will be stored in a secure, temperature-controlled location. Study drug will only be 
prepared and dispensed by an authorized unblinded pharmacist at the clinical site. Any deviation 
from storage conditions must be reported immediately to the Investigator and LIB Therapeutics 
Medical Monitor. 
Site personnel will maintain accurate records of receipt and condition of study drug upon receipt. 
In addition, accurate records of each dose dispensed to each subject will be kept on a study drug 
accountability log. 
Study drug accountability records will be maintained by the unblinded pharmacist in a secure 
location. Drug accountability records will be available for verification by unblinded LIB 
personnel. 
Storage and accountability information will be outlined in the separate pharmacy manual. 
5.6 
Prior and Concomitant Medications and/or Procedures 
5.6.1 Excluded Medications and/or Procedures 
Concomitant therapy includes all medications and non-medication interventions used by a subject 
during the study.  
Medications include prescription drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, approved dietary and 
herbal supplements, and nutritional supplements. Examples of non-medication interventions 
include individual psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, smoking cessation therapy, and 
rehabilitative therapy. All concomitant medications and non-medication interventions should be 
reported to the Investigator and recorded in the concomitant medications eCRF. 
As a general rule, concomitant medications will be permitted unless specifically excluded and 
provided they are anticipated to remain stable throughout the study or do not impact LDL-C. The 

LIB Therapeutics, LLC 
Clinical Study Protocol LIB003-002 
Confidential & Proprietary 
Version 1.1, 24July 2018 
33 
rationale for use of any exceptions is to be discussed between the Investigator and the Sponsor and 
clearly documented. The following medications are exceptions: 
• Medications used to treat adverse events may be prescribed preferably after consultation with 
the Medical Monitor, unless there is an immediate medical need to ensure the well-being of 
the subject that should not be delayed. All therapy and/or medication administered to manage 
adverse events should be recorded in the appropriate eCRF; 
• Hormone replacement therapy use is only permitted if initiated at least 2 months prior to the 
randomization visit and is anticipated to remain stable throughout the study. 
Any other investigational drug taken within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to 
screening is excluded.  
5.6.2 Restricted Medications and/or Procedures 
Restricted medications include, but are not limited to, the following: 
• Use of, or treatment with, any prescription lipid-altering drugs (other than statins and ezetimibe 
as specified above). 
5.6.3 Restrictions and Dietary Guidelines 
Subjects should be encouraged to continue on appropriate and same diet and not participate in 
strenuous physical activity or exercise from 48 hours prior to all study visits to prevent 
concomitant increases in creatine kinase and throughout the duration of the study.  
Subjects are requested to refrain from using alcohol for the 24-hour period prior to clinic visits due 
to potential impact on serum lipids. 
Fasting is defined as no food or caloric beverages for at least 10 hours. Subjects will be permitted 
and encouraged to drink water ad libitum.  
5.6.4 Documentation of Prior and Concomitant Medication Use 
The Investigator should record the use of all concomitant medications taken during the study, 
including statin, statin dose and/or ezetimibe plus adherence, both prescribed and OTC, in the 
eCRF and the source document. This includes drugs used on a chronic and as-needed basis. 
Subjects should be discouraged from starting any new medication, both prescribed and OTC, 
without consulting the Investigator, unless the new medication is required for an emergency or 
common ailments such as headache, upper respiratory infection and constipation.

PHARMACOKINETIC AND PHARMACODYNAMIC ASSESSMENTS 
All blood samples should be collected while the subject is in a fasted state (≥10 hours ad lib water 
is allowed and encouraged) and prior to administration of LIB003 or placebo. After the scheduled 
analyses are completed, residual samples may be utilized for further exploratory analyses. 
Instructions for specimen collection and storage are detailed in the laboratory manual.  
Detailed instructions for collection, processing, packaging, and shipping of all blood samples will 
be provided to the site in the laboratory manual.  
7.1 
Pharmacokinetic Parameters 
Pharmacokinetics of LIB003 and PCSK9 will be derived from serum concentration-versus time 
data. The actual PK sampling times will be captured in the eCRF.  
Pharmacokinetic parameters will include the following:  
• Cmax – maximum observed plasma concentration, 
• Tmax – time of maximum observed plasma concentration, 
• AUC0-t – area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of last 
quantifiable serum concentration, 
• AUC0-4wks – area under the serum concentration-time curve across the dosing interval from 
time of dose to time just prior to the next dose (4 weeks), 
• AUCinf – area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinite 
time, 
• T-HALF – serum elimination half-life,  
• CL/F – apparent total body clearance, and 
• Vz/F – apparent volume of distribution.  
Pharmacokinetic parameters for the 150 mg, 225 mg, and 300 mg doses will be measured at the 
time points specified in Table 6. Additional PK parameters may be calculated if deemed 
appropriate.  
Total serum PCSK9 concentrations at different time points will also be assessed.  
7.2 
Pharmacodynamic Endpoints  
The co-primary endpoints are the percent change from baseline in LDL-C level as the mean of 
weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 (both by Friedewald formula) for each LIB003 dose compared to 
the placebo.22-24 Percent change from baseline in LDL-C will be analyzed with analysis of variance 
model with treatment as a factor. The co-primary endpoints will be repeated on LDL-C calculated 
by Hopkins formula or preparative ultracentrifugation. 
The secondary objectives to assess the PD effects of differing multiple doses of LIB003 will be 
measured by the following secondary endpoints: 
• Serum unbound (free) PCSK9 concentrations and serum LDL-C by both preparative 
ultracentrifugation and d Hopkins formula25;

• Serum lipids, including TC, HDL-C, non–HDL-C, VLDL-C, and TG; and  
• Apo B, apo A1, and Lp(a) serum concentrations. 
7.2.1 Immunogenicity Endpoints 
Another secondary objective is to assess the occurrence and frequency of ADAs following multiple 
doses of LIB003. Anti-LIB003 antibodies will be measured at the time points specified in section 
8.8 and Table 6. 
7.2.2 Exploratory Endpoints  
Exploratory objectives include: 
• The effects of different doses of LIB003 on other lipid and cardiovascular risk biomarkers as 
appropriate may be assessed from saved, stored, frozen serum aliquots obtained at the time 
points specified in Table 6 (Appendix C). 
• An assessment of the cumulative effect of 3 different doses on free PCSK9, LDL-C, and 
apo B for 6 and 8 weeks after the final dose.

SAFETY ASSESSMENTS 
8.1 
Adverse Events 
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with 
this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign 
(including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the 
use of an investigational medicinal product, whether or not related to the investigational medicinal 
product. All adverse events, including observed or volunteered problems, complaints, or 
symptoms, are to be recorded on the appropriate eCRF. 
Adverse events, which include clinical laboratory test variables, will be monitored and 
documented from the time of randomization until study participation is complete. Subjects should 
be instructed to report any adverse event that they experience to the Investigator. From the time of 
randomization, the Investigator should make an assessment for adverse events at each visit and 
record the event on the appropriate adverse event eCRF. 
Wherever possible, a specific disease or syndrome rather than individual associated signs and 
symptoms should be identified by the Investigator and recorded on the eCRF. However, if an 
observed or reported sign or symptom is not considered a component of a specific disease or 
syndrome by the Investigator, it should be recorded as a separate adverse event on the eCRF.  
Additionally, the condition that led to a medical or surgical procedure (eg, surgery, endoscopy, 
tooth extraction, or transfusion) should be recorded as an adverse event, not the procedure.  
Any medical condition already present at randomization should not be reported as an adverse event 
unless the medical condition or signs or symptoms present at baseline changes in severity or 
seriousness at any time during the study. In this case, it should be reported as an adverse event. 
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory or other examination (eg, ECG) findings that are 
detected during the study or are present at randomization and significantly worsen during the study 
should be reported as adverse events. The Investigator will exercise his or her medical and 
scientific judgment in deciding whether an abnormal laboratory finding or other abnormal 
assessment is clinically significant. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values occurring 
during the clinical study will be followed until repeat tests return to normal, stabilize, or are no 
longer clinically significant. Any abnormal test that is determined to be an error does not require 
reporting as an adverse event. 
8.2.1 Adverse (Drug) Reaction 
All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be 
considered an adverse drug reaction. “Responses” to a medicinal product means that a causal 
relationship between a medicinal product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility 
(ie, the relationship cannot be ruled out). 
8.2.2 Unexpected Adverse Drug Reaction 
An unexpected adverse drug reaction is defined as an adverse reaction, the nature or severity of 
which is not consistent with the applicable product information.

Confidential & Proprietary 
Version 1.1, 24July 2018 
44 
8.2.3 Assessment of Adverse Events by the Investigator 
The Investigator will assess the severity (intensity) of each adverse event as mild, moderate, or 
severe, and will also categorize each adverse event as to its potential relationship to study drug 
using the categories of yes or no. 
Assessment of Severity: 
• Mild – An event that is easily tolerated and generally not interfering with normal daily 
activities. 
• Moderate – An event that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal daily activities. 
• Severe – An event that is incapacitating with inability to work or perform normal daily 
activities. 
Causality Assessment: 
The relationship of an adverse event to the administration of the study drug is to be assessed 
according to the following definitions: 
• No (unrelated, not related, no relation) – The time course between the administration of study 
drug and the occurrence or worsening of the adverse event rules out a causal relationship and 
another cause (concomitant drugs, therapies, complications, etc.) is suspected. 
• Yes (related) – The time course between the administration of study drug and the occurrence 
or worsening of the adverse event is consistent with a causal relationship and no other cause 
(concomitant drugs, therapies, complications, etc.) can be identified. 
The definition implies a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship between the event and the 
study drug. This means that there are facts (evidence) or arguments to suggest a causal relationship. 
The following factors should also be considered: 
• The temporal sequence from study drug administration – The event should occur after the study 
drug is given. The length of time from study drug exposure to event should be evaluated in the 
clinical context of the event. 
• Underlying, concomitant, intercurrent diseases – Each report should be evaluated in the context 
of the natural history and course of the disease being treated and any other disease the subject 
may have. 
• Concomitant drug – The other drugs the subject is taking or the treatment the subject receives 
should be examined to determine whether any of them might be recognized to cause the event 
in question. 
• Known response pattern for this class of study drug – Clinical and/or preclinical data may 
indicate whether a particular response is likely to be a class effect. 
• Exposure to physical and/or mental stresses – The exposure to stress might induce adverse 
changes in the recipient and provide a logical and better explanation for the event. 
• The pharmacology and PK of the study drug – The known pharmacologic properties 
(absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) of the study drug should be considered.

8.3 
Serious Adverse Events 
An adverse event or adverse reaction is considered serious if, in the view of either the Investigator 
or Sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: 
• Death, 
• A life-threatening adverse event, 
o NOTE: An adverse event or adverse reaction is considered “life-threatening” if, in view of 
either the Investigator or Sponsor, its occurrence places the subject at immediate risk of 
death. It does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have 
caused death. 
• Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalizations, 
o NOTE: Any hospital admission with at least one overnight stay will be considered an 
inpatient hospitalization. An emergency room visit without hospital admission will not be 
recorded as a SAE under this criterion, nor will hospitalization for a procedure scheduled 
or planned before signing of informed consent. However, unexpected complications and/or 
prolongation of hospitalization that occur during elective surgery should be recorded as 
adverse events and assessed for seriousness. Admission to the hospital for social or 
situational reasons (ie, no place to stay, live too far away to come for hospital visits) will 
not be considered inpatient hospitalizations.  
• A persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to 
conduct normal life functions, 
• A congenital anomaly/birth defect, or 
• An important medical event. 
o NOTE: Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical 
judgment, they may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention 
to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. Examples of such medical events include 
allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, 
blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalizations, or the 
development of drug dependency. 
8.4 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting − Procedures for Investigators 
Initial Reports 
All SAEs occurring from the time of informed consent until 30 days following the last 
administration of study drug must be reported to Medpace Clinical Safety within 24 hours of the 
knowledge of the occurrence (this refers to any adverse event that meets any of the aforementioned 
serious criteria). All SAEs that the Investigator considers related to study drug occurring after the 
30-day follow-up period must be reported to the Sponsor.

To report a SAE, fax the completed SAE form to Medpace (fax number listed below) within 
24 hours of awareness. 
Safety Contact Information: Medpace Clinical Safety 
Medpace SAE reporting line – USA: 
Telephone: +1-800-730-5779, dial 3 or 513-579-9911, dial 3 
Fax: +1-866-336-5320 or 513-579-0444 
e-mail: medpace-safetynotification@medpace.com 
Follow-Up Reports 
The Investigator must continue to follow subject(s) until a SAE has subsided or until the condition 
becomes chronic in nature, stabilizes (in the case of persistent impairment), or the subject dies. 
Within 24 hours of receipt of new information, the updated follow-up SAE form, along with any 
supporting documentation (eg, subject discharge summary or autopsy reports), should be faxed to 
Medpace Clinical Safety.  
8.5 
Pregnancy Reporting 
If the subject or partner of a subject participating in the study becomes pregnant during the study 
or within 30 days of discontinuing study drug, the Investigator should report the pregnancy to 
Medpace Clinical Safety within 24 hours of being notified. Medpace Clinical Safety will then 
forward the Exposure In Utero form to the Investigator for completion.  
A subject becoming pregnant while on study drug will immediately be withdrawn from the study 
and Early Termination study procedures will be performed. 
The subject or partner should be followed by the Investigator until completion of the pregnancy. 
If the pregnancy ends for any reason before the anticipated date, the Investigator should notify 
Medpace Clinical Safety.  At the completion of the pregnancy, the Investigator will document the 
outcome of the pregnancy. If the outcome of the pregnancy meets the criteria for immediate 
classification as an SAE (ie, postpartum complication, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, neonatal 
death, or congenital anomaly), the Investigator should follow the procedures for reporting an SAE. 
8.6 
Expedited Reporting 
The Sponsor will report all relevant information about suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions that are fatal or life-threatening as soon as possible to the FDA and in any case no later 
than 7 days after knowledge by the Sponsor of such a case, and that relevant follow-up information 
will subsequently be communicated within an additional 8 days.  
All other suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions will be reported to the FDA as soon as 
possible but within a maximum of 15 days of first knowledge by the Sponsor.  
The Sponsor will also inform all Investigators as required.  
8.7 
Clinical Laboratory Evaluations 
Clinical laboratory profiles for lipids, hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis will be 
evaluated from samples collected after ≥10 hours of fasting (ad lib water is allowed and 
encouraged) at the time points specified in Table 6 (Appendix C).

For all women of childbearing potential, a serum pregnancy test will be performed at screening 
and the end of study visit (Day 113/Early Termination). Serum FSH will be measured for women 
uncertain of post-menopausal status (<1 year since last menses). 
A complete list of laboratory analyses to be performed is presented in Appendix D.  
8.7.1 Potential Drug-Induced Liver Injury 
Wherever possible, timely confirmation of initial liver-related laboratory abnormalities should 
occur prior to the reporting of a potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI) event. All occurrences 
of potential DILIs that meet the following criteria, must be reported as SAEs: 
1. ALT or AST levels >3 × ULN; and  
2. Total bilirubin levels >2 × ULN, without initial findings of Gilbert’s syndrome or cholestasis 
(elevated serum alkaline phosphatase); and 
3. No other immediately apparent possible causes of ALT or AST elevation and 
hyperbilirubinemia, including, but not limited to, viral hepatitis, pre-existing chronic or acute 
liver disease, or the administration of other drug(s) known to be hepatotoxic. 
8.8 
Immunogenicity  
Subjects will be assessed for ADAs at designated study visits specified as follows and also in 
Table 6 (Appendix C). Patients testing positive for LIB003 antibodies will be tested for 
neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) and titer, and may be further characterized for isotype, binding site, 
affinity and presence of immune complexes.  
Subjects who test positive for binding, non-neutralizing antibodies and have clinical sequelae that 
are considered safety related may be asked to return for additional monthly follow-up testing.  
In the case of positive NAbs at the final visit (week 16) patients will be asked to return for 
follow‑up testing every 3 months until either NAbs are no longer detectable or the subject has been 
followed for a period of at least 12 months. For patients who test positive but have not received 
active drug follow-up testing will not be required. 
8.9 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature) will be assessed at 
designated study visits specified in Table 6 (Appendix C). Blood pressure and heart rate will be 
measured after the subject has been seated or supine for ≥5 minutes. 
8.10 
Electrocardiograms 
Twelve-lead (single) ECGs will be assessed at designated study visits specified in Table 6 
(Appendix C). Subjects should be resting in the supine position for ≥10 minutes prior to each 
12-lead ECG.  
8.11 
Physical Examinations 
Physical examinations will be performed throughout the study at the time points specified in 
Table 6 (Appendix C).  Injection site reactions will be monitored by examination of injection site.

STATISTICS 
9.1 
Statistical Methods 
9.1.1 
Analysis Populations 
The PK Evaluable Population is defined as all subjects with valid PK parameters (Cmax and AUC). 
The PD Population is defined as all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug and with 
any post-baseline PD measurement. 
The Safety Population is defined as all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug. 
9.1.2 Analysis of Efficacy 
The co-primary endpoints are the percent change from baseline in LDL-C level at the mean of 
weeks 10 and 12 and at week 12 (both by Friedewald formula) for each LIB003 dose compared to 
the placebo.22-24 Percent change from baseline in LDL-C will be analyzed with analysis of variance 
model with treatment as a factor. Other efficacy variables will be analyzed similarly. 
9.1.3 Pharmacodynamic Analysis  
Pharmacodynamic analysis will be performed based on the PD Population. Pharmacodynamic 
endpoints will be summarized at each visit, as well as percent change or change from baseline.  
Exploratory endpoints will be summarized at each visit, as well as percent change or change from 
baseline. Inferential analysis may be performed if data grants. 
9.1.5 
Immunogenicity analyses 
Immunogenicity data will be listed.   
9.1.6 Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
Pharmacokinetic analysis will be performed based on the PK Evaluable Population. Power Law 
model will be used to assess the dose proportionality for the LIB003 treatment groups. All PK 
parameters and PK concentrations will be summarized descriptively. 
9.1.7 Analysis of Safety 
The safety endpoint data will be summarized for the Safety Population. Adverse events will be 
coded using the latest version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. A general 
summary of the adverse events and SAEs will be summarized by overall number of adverse events, 
severity, and relationship to study drug per treatment group. The number of adverse events leading 
to withdrawal and SAEs leading to death will also be summarized. The incidence of adverse events 
will be summarized by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. 
The safety laboratory data will be summarized by visit and by treatment group, along with changes 
from baseline. The values that are below the lower limit or above the upper limit of the reference 
range will be flagged. Those values or changes in values that are identified as being clinically 
significant will be flagged. Laboratory abnormalities of special interest, such as liver function tests 
and antidrug antibodies, will be summarized.

Sample Size Determination 
The number of subjects is based on administration of LIB003 in each treatment group achieving a 
statistically significant (p<0.01) 50% reduction in LDL-C at Week 12 compared to the placebo 
group. In terms of safety while the number of subjects is not based on statistical consideration 
there is an 80% probability of observing at least 1 occurrence in a LIB003 treatment group of any 
adverse event which would occur with a 24% incidence in the population from which the sample 
is drawn. Approximately 80 patients will participate in this clinical study, including 60 to receive 
LIB003 and 20 to receive placebo.

DATA MANAGEMENT AND RECORD KEEPING 
10.1 
Data Management 
10.1.1 Data Handling 
Data will be recorded at the site on eCRFs and reviewed by the Clinical Research Associate (CRA) 
during monitoring visits. The CRAs will verify data recorded in the electronic data capture (EDC) 
system with source documents. All corrections or changes made to any study data must be 
appropriately tracked in an audit trail in the EDC system. An eCRF will be considered complete 
when all missing, incorrect, and/or inconsistent data has been accounted for. 
10.1.2 Computer Systems 
Data will be processed using a validated computer system conforming to regulatory requirements. 
10.1.3 Data Entry 
Data must be recorded using the EDC system as the study is in progress. All site personnel must 
log into the system using their secure user name and password in order to enter, review, or correct 
study data. These procedures must comply with Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
(21 CFR Part 11) and other appropriate international regulations. All passwords will be strictly 
confidential. 
10.1.4 Medical Information Coding 
The latest version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities for medical history and 
adverse events. The latest versions of the World Health Organization Drug Dictionary will be used 
for prior and concomitant medications. 
10.1.5 Data Validation 
Validation checks programmed within the EDC system, as well as supplemental validation 
performed via review of the downloaded data, will be applied to the data in order to ensure 
accurate, consistent, and reliable data. Data identified as erroneous, or data that are missing, will 
be referred to the investigative site for resolution through data queries. 
The eCRFs must be reviewed and electronically signed by the Investigator. 
10.2 
Record Keeping 
Records of subjects, source documents, monitoring visit logs, eCRFs, inventory of study product, 
regulatory documents, and other Sponsor correspondence pertaining to the study must be kept in 
the appropriate study files at the site. Source data is defined as all information in original records 
and certified copies of original records of clinical findings, observations, or other activities in a 
clinical study necessary for the evaluation and reconstruction of the clinical study. Source data are 
contained in source documents (original records or certified copies). These records will be retained 
in a secure file for the period as set forth in the Clinical Study Agreement. Prior to transfer or 
destruction of these records, the Sponsor must be notified in writing and be given the opportunity 
to further store such records.

INVESTIGATOR REQUIREMENTS AND QUALITY CONTROL  
11.1 
Ethical Conduct of the Study 
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for 
designing, conducting, recording, and reporting studies that involve human subjects. Compliance 
with this standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and wellbeing of study subjects 
are protected, consistent with the principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, 
and that the clinical study data are credible. 
11.2 
Institutional Review Board 
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) will review all appropriate study documentation in order to 
safeguard the rights, safety, and well-being of subjects. The study will only be conducted at sites 
where IRB approval has been obtained. The protocol, Investigator’s Brochure, ICF, advertisements 
(if applicable), written information given to the subjects, safety updates, annual progress reports, 
and any revisions to these documents will be provided to the IRB by the Investigator. 
Federal regulations and ICH require that approval be obtained from an IRB prior to participation 
of subjects in research studies. Prior to study onset, the protocol, any protocol amendments, ICFs, 
advertisements to be used for subject recruitment, and any other written information regarding this 
study to be provided to a subject or subject’s legal guardian must be approved by the IRB. 
No drug will be released to the site for dosing until written IRB authorization has been received 
by the Sponsor. 
11.3 
Informed Consent 
The ICF and any changes to the ICF made during the course of the study must be agreed to by the 
Sponsor or designee and the IRB prior to its use and must be in compliance with all ICH GCP, 
local regulatory requirements, and legal requirements.   
The Investigator must ensure that each study subject is fully informed about the nature and 
objectives of the study and possible risks associated with participation and must ensure that the 
subject has been informed of his/her rights to privacy. The Investigator will obtain written 
informed consent from each subject before any study-specific activity is performed and should 
document in the source documentation that consent was obtained prior to enrollment in the study. 
The original signed copy of the ICF must be maintained by the Investigator and is subject to 
inspection by a representative of the Sponsor, their representatives, auditors, the IRB and/or 
regulatory agencies. A copy of the signed ICF will be given to the subject. 
11.4 
Study Monitoring Requirements 
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to ensure that the study is conducted in accordance with 
the protocol, Declaration of Helsinki, ICH GCP, and applicable regulatory requirements, and that 
valid data are entered into the eCRFs. 
To achieve this objective, the monitor’s duties are to aid the Investigator and, at the same time, the 
Sponsor in the maintenance of complete, legible, well organized and easily retrievable data. Before 
the enrollment of any subject in this study, the Sponsor or their designee will review with the 
Investigator and site personnel the following documents: protocol, Investigator’s Brochure, eCRFs

and procedures for their completion, informed consent process, and the procedure for reporting 
SAEs. 
The Investigator will permit the Sponsor or their designee to monitor the study as frequently as 
deemed necessary to determine that data recording and protocol adherence are satisfactory. During 
the monitoring visits, information recorded on the eCRFs will be verified against source 
documents and requests for clarification or correction may be made. After the eCRF data is entered 
by the site, the CRA will review the data for safety information, completeness, accuracy, and 
logical consistency. Computer programs that identify data inconsistencies may be used to help 
monitor the clinical study. If necessary, requests for clarification or correction will be sent to 
Investigators. The Investigator and his/her staff will be expected to cooperate with the monitor and 
provide any missing information, whenever possible. 
All monitoring activities will be reported and archived. In addition, monitoring visits will be 
documented at the investigational site by signature and date on the study-specific monitoring log. 
11.5 
Disclosure of Data 
Data generated by this study must be available for inspection by the FDA, the Sponsor or their 
designee, applicable foreign health authorities, and the IRB as appropriate. Subjects or their legal 
representatives may request their medical information be given to their personal physician or other 
appropriate medical personnel responsible for their welfare. 
Subject medical information obtained during the study is confidential and disclosure to third 
parties other than those noted above is prohibited. 
11.6 
Retention of Records 
To enable evaluations and/or audits from regulatory authorities or the Sponsor, the Investigator 
will keep records, including the identity of all participating subjects (sufficient information to link 
records, eg, eCRFs and hospital records), all original signed ICFs, copies of all eCRFs, SAE forms, 
source documents, and detailed records of treatment disposition. The records should be retained 
by the Investigator according to specifications in the ICH guidelines, local regulations, or as 
specified in the Clinical Study Agreement, whichever is longer. The Investigator must obtain 
written permission from the Sponsor before disposing of any records, even if retention 
requirements have been met. 
If the Investigator relocates, retires, or for any reason withdraws from the study, the Sponsor should 
be prospectively notified. The study records must be transferred to an acceptable designee, such 
as another Investigator, another institution, or to the Sponsor.   
11.7 
Publication Policy 
Following completion of the study, the data may be considered for publication in a scientific 
journal or for reporting at a scientific meeting. Each Investigator is obligated to keep data 
pertaining to the study confidential. The Investigator must consult with the Sponsor before any 
study data are submitted for publication. The Sponsor reserves the right to deny publication rights 
until mutual agreement on the content, format, interpretation of data in the manuscript, and journal 
selected for publication are achieved.

All blood samples should be collected while the subject is in a fasted state (≥10 hours, water is allowed and encouraged) and PRIOR to completing other visit requirements 
other than weight  
A ±3-day window is allowed for all clinic visits; unanticipated or unavoidable cancellations due to weather or public holidays may be scheduled within a 5-day window and 
will not be considered protocol deviation if appropriately documented.  
1. 
To include lipid-lowering drugs. Current statin and dose and/or ezetimibe plus adherence at each visit. 
2. 
A physical examination is required prior to study drug administration. If the screening visit physical examination was performed within 14 days of the randomization visit, 
it does not need to be repeated on Day 1. BMI calculated from weight and height. 
3. 
Perform only if Early Termination.   
4. 
Vital signs will include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. Blood pressure and heart rate will be measured after the subject has been seated or 
supine for ≥5 minutes.  
5. 
As outlined in Appendix D. [5a] TSH. 
6. 
PK blood samples will be collected pre-dose. 
7. 
Measurements will include total and unbound (free) PCSK9 and will be collected pre-dose. 
8. 
Blood samples for immunogenicity assessment will be collected pre-dose. Subjects who test positive with safety related clinical sequelae may be asked to return for 
additional monthly follow-up testing. If positive NAbs at the final visit (week 16) patients to return for follow‑up testing every 3 months until either NAbs are no longer 
detectable or the subject has been followed for a period of at least 12 months – see section 6.2.11 
9. 
Exploratory biomarker blood samples will be collected and frozen for potential assessment of additional lipid or other biomarkers.  
10. Subjects should be resting in the supine position for ≥10 minutes prior to each 12-lead ECG.  
11. A serum pregnancy test will be performed only on women of childbearing potential. Serum FSH will be measured for women uncertain of post-menopausal status (<1 year 
since last menses). 
12. On Days 1, 29, and 57, injection site assessments will be performed pre-dose and 15 minutes post-dose. 
apo = apolipoprotein; ECG = electrocardiogram; ET = Early Termination; FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone; PCSK9 = proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9;
