SYNOPSIS
Clinical Protocol CV006004
Protocol Title: A Phase 2, Placebo Controlled, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Arm Study to Evaluate 
Efficacy and Safety of BMS-986141 For the Prevention of Recurrent Brain Infarction in Subjects receiving 
acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) following Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
Investigational Product(s), Dose and Mode of Administration, Duration of Treatment with Investigational
Product(s): Each subject will be administered BMS-986141 or matching placebo once daily (QD) in a blinded 
fashion with open label acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at a dose of 75 to 162 mg/day in the following treatment groups.
ASA is a non-investigational product in this study. 
Treatment A: Subjects will receive matching placebo (to BMS-986141) QD for up to 28 days in Part 1 of the Study 
or up to 90 days in Part 2 of the Study
Treatment B: Subjects will receive BMS-986141 0.8 mg QD for up to 28 days in Part 1 of the Study or up to 90 days 
in Part 2 of the Study
Treatment C: Subjects will receive BMS-986141 4.8 mg QD for up to 28 days in Part 1 of the Study or up to 90 days 
in Part 2 of the Study
Treatment D: Subjects will receive BMS-986141 8 mg QD for up to 28 days in Part 1 of the Study or up to 90 days 
in Part 2 of the Study
Study Phase: 2
Research Hypothesis: BMS-986141 is effective in reducing the recurrence of stroke in subjects with recent 
transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke.
Objectives:
Primary Objective:
To determine the dose-response relationship of BMS-986141 on the recurrence of brain infarction at 28 days as 
assessed by a composite of symptomatic ischemic stroke and unrecognized brain infarction as assessed by MRI in 
subjects with ischemic stroke or TIA treated with ASA.
Secondary Efficacy Objectives:

To assess the effect of BMS-986141 on the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, 
including all stroke, myocardial infarction, and CV death) by Day 90

To assess the effect of BMS-986141 on the occurrence of the composite of ischemic stroke, myocardial 
infarction, and CV death by Day 90

To assess the effect of BMS-986141 on incidence of symptomatic recurrent stroke up to 28 days of treatment 

To assess the effect of BMS-986141 on the occurrence of the composite of unrecognized brain infarction 
assessed by MRI at Day 28 and MACE by Day 90
Safety Objectives:

To assess the effect of BMS-986141 on the composite of Major and Clinically Relevant Non-Major (CRNM) 
Bleeding 

To assess the effect of BMS-986141 on all reported bleeding

To evaluate safety and tolerability of BMS-986141
Study Design: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, study to evaluate the efficacy 
and safety of BMS-986141 in addition to ASA in subjects following acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic

attack (TIA). Eligible subjects will be randomized within 48 hours of the time they were last seen normal prior to 
acute ischemic stroke/TIA and must have a baseline study-specific MRI no later than 24 hours after randomization.
The study will be conducted in two parts. Subjects in both parts of the study will be randomly assigned to one of 
three different doses of BMS-986141 or matching placebo and will continue on the assigned dose for the duration of 
the treatment period. Initially randomization will be limited to the two lower doses of BMS-986141 or placebo. 
Randomization to the highest dose of BMS-986141 will only be initiated after DMC review of safety and laboratory 
data from the Day 28 study visit for at least 10% of the planned total subjects. In Part 1 of the study, the treatment 
period will be 28 days. Part 2 of the study will only be initiated after regulatory review of reports from 90-day 
nonclinical toxicology studies. The treatment period in Part 2 will be 90 days.
The Primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed at 28 days after the initial dose in all subjects. Additional objectives 
will be assessed at 28 or 90 days.

clinically overt bleeding events that lead to medical treatment or evaluation, or discontinuation of study medication 
must be submitted for adjudication. Bleeding will be adjudicated by a blinded Clinical Events Adjudication 
Committee (CEC) according to definitions adapted from the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis 
(ISTH). Bleeding will be classified as Major Bleeding, Clinically Relevant Non-Major (CRNM) Bleeding, or Minor 
Bleeding.
An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC), separate from the CEC, will monitor the safety of all subjects 
during the study and give recommendations to the Study Executive Committee. At the beginning of the study, 
subjects will be randomized to placebo, 0.8 or 4.8 mg of BMS-986141, with no subjects being randomized to the 
8 mg dose. The DMC will review safety data when at least 10% of the total planned subjects for the study have 
completed their scheduled Day 28 visit and clinical laboratory results and other safety data from those subjects are 
available. Data to be included in that review will be specified in the DMC charter. As a result of this review, the 
DMC can recommend expansion of the randomization to all 4 study arms, additional experience on placebo and the 
2 lower doses, or other modifications as necessary to ensure subject safety.
Efficacy: The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the incidence of a composite of symptomatic ischemic stroke
by Day 28 and unrecognized brain infarction assessed by MRI at Day 28. Additional Secondary Efficacy Endpoints 
include Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events, including symptomatic stroke, myocardial infarction, and 
cardiovascular death. Symptomatic efficacy events will be adjudicated by the CEC. Unrecognized brain infarction 
will be adjudicated by a blinded imaging adjudication committee (IAC) based on comparisons of MRI at baseline 
and Day 28.
Statistical Considerations:
Sample Size:
The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the incidence of a composite of symptomatic ischemic stroke by 
Day 28 and unrecognized brain infarction at Day 28. Initially, randomization will be limited to the two lower doses 
of BMS-986141 (0.8 mg or 4.8 mg) or placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio until after DMC review of safety and laboratory data 
from the Day 28 study visit for at least 10% of planned total subjects (approximately 132 subjects). If the DMC 
recommends proceeding to inclusion of the highest dose (8 mg), subsequent randomization will be in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. 
Based on the staggered randomization and with a total of 1240 evaluable subjects, there is at least 80% power to 
demonstrate a dose-response relationship assessed by MCP-Mod method (see below), with Emax and logistic 
models included as candidate models, and using a 1-sided type I error of 15%. This assumes a true incidence for 
placebo of 14%, a maximum relative risk reduction of 30% for BMS 986141 8mg compared to placebo, and 
reductions of 75% and 90% of the maximum reduction for the 0.8 and 4.8 mg doses, respectively. To account for 
about 5% of subjects without post-randomization data, a total of 1312 subjects will be randomized.
Endpoints:
Primary efficacy endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the incidence of a composite of symptomatic ischemic stroke by 
Day 28 and unrecognized brain infarction assessed by MRI at Day 28.
Additional efficacy endpoints
Secondary endpoints:

The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) by Day 90, defined as a composite of all 
adjudicated stroke, myocardial infarction, or CV death

The incidence of the composite of adjudicated ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and CV death by Day 90

The incidence of adjudicated symptomatic stroke (including fatal and non-fatal) by Day 28

The incidence of the composite of unrecognized brain infarction assessed by MRI at Day 28 and MACE by 
Day 90
Primary safety endpoint
The primary safety endpoint will be incidence of a composite of adjudicated major bleeding and adjudicated CRNM 
bleeding during the treatment period.

Additional safety endpoints

Additional safety endpoints include the incidence of adjudicated major bleeding events, all bleeding events, 
intracranial hemorrhage events, as well as the incidence of AEs and markedly abnormal standard clinical 
laboratory test results.
Analyses:
Adjudicated results will be the basis for the primary and secondary analyses. 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint Analysis:

To demonstrate the dose-response relationship between BMS-986141 treatment (including placebo) and 
primary endpoint, the primary analysis will be based on an MCP-Mod analysis. This analysis tests for a 
dose-response relationship, allowing for uncertainty in the dose-response relationship through inclusion of 
contrasts from pre-specified candidate models to assess dose-response. Fitted estimates for the incidence of the 
primary endpoint will be calculated in each of the treatment groups using a weighted model-averaging method

The incidence of the composite of adjudicated symptomatic recurrent ischemic stroke by Day 28 and 
unrecognized brain infarction at Day 28 will also be summarized by treatment. Point estimates and 95% CIs for 
event rates will be presented by treatment, together with point estimates and 95% CIs for the relative risk 
reduction between each BMS-986141 arm and placebo

A single categorical variable based on study change points (length of treatment [28 or 90 days] and 
randomization phase [randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision]) will be included as a 
covariate
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint Analyses

Similar analysis methods will be used for the secondary endpoint incidence of MACE as for the primary 
endpoint

A sequential testing approach will be used for the primary and MACE endpoints. Dose-response relationship for 
the primary endpoint will be tested first using a one-sided 0.15 type I error; if the p-value for this comparison is 
< 0.15, then the dose-response relationship for the same endpoint will be tested using a one-sided 0.025 type I 
error. If the p-value for this comparison is < 0.025, then the dose-response relationship for the MACE endpoint 
will be tested using a one-sided 0.025 type I error

Other secondary endpoints will use similar analysis methods as the primary and secondary endpoint of MACE
Safety analysis:

For safety analyses, separate summaries taking into account length of treatment (28 or 90 days) and 
randomization phase (randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision) will be provided

The incidences of the composite of major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding, all 
bleeding events (including major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding and minor bleeding), and 
intracranial hemorrhage during the treatment period will be summarized by treatment. Point estimates and 
95% CIs for event rates of each of above safety endpoint will be presented by treatment, together with point 
estimates and 95% CIs for the difference of event rates between each BMS-986141 arm and placebo. A single 
categorical variable based on study change points (length of treatment [28 or 90 days] and randomization phase 
[randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision]) will be included as a stratum in the 
calculation of the CIs

All other safety endpoints will be summarized descriptively by treatment

Product Development Background
The Investigator Brochure (IB) for BMS-986141 provides detailed information on the preclinical 
pharmacology, toxicology, metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and potential for drug-drug 
interactions of BMS-986141.The clinical experience to date is summarized below, and additional 
detail can be found in the IB.
1.4.1
Clinical Pharmacology and Safety
Preliminary data have been reviewed on a total of 116 subjects who have received single doses 
of BMS-986141 of up to 150 mg and multiple doses of up to 30 mg QD for up to 14 days in 
study CV006003. This includes subjects receiving multiple doses of 20 mg QD or placebo 
co-administered with ASA 325 mg QD for up to 14 days and subjects who received single doses 
of BMS-986141 in the presence of itraconazole, a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitor.
Preliminary results show dose proportional PK and a consistent concentration-dependent PD
effect. In addition, exposures in subjects who also received itraconazole increased up to 8-fold
and the half-life of BMS-986141 increased ~3-fold.
Review of preliminary safety data showed no clinically significant AEs or laboratory 
abnormalities, including coagulation profiles, template bleeding times, BUN, creatinine,
bilirubin, or hepatic enzymes. This includes all subjects who received BMS-986141 co-
administered with ASA and BMS-986141 co-administered with itraconazole.

1.4.1.1
Pharmacokinetics of BMS-986141 
BMS-986141 was rapidly absorbed following oral administration to fasted healthy subjects, with 
maximum concentrations achieved between 1.75-3 hours. The mean terminal half-life of 
BMS-986141 was between 35.2-45.5 hours. The accumulation index was < 2 (ranging from 
1.3 to 1.9). Both maximum concentration (Cmax) and total drug exposures of BMS-986141 
increased in a dose-proportional manner.
There are 3 major circulating metabolites of BMS-986141; BMT-162856 (700 – fold less active), 
BMT-181551, and BMT-162853. Exposures of BMT-162856 were 6.8-36.4-fold higher than 
BMS-986141, with the exposures of the other metabolites much lower than BMS-986141. The 
exposures of BMS-986141 and its major circulating metabolites are expected to be below 
no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) exposures at all doses. All metabolites are expected 
to have minimal contribution to the overall PD effect.
1.4.1.2
Dose Selection
A combination of preclinical efficacy and safety data, inhibition of human ex vivo platelet 
aggregation, and Phase 1 PK, PD and safety have been taken into consideration in selecting 
doses for this study. Doses have been selected to optimize the ability to address the primary 
objective, which is to determine the dose-response relationship of BMS-986141 on the 
recurrence of brain infarction at 28 days as assessed by a composite of symptomatic ischemic 
stroke by Day 28 and unrecognized brain infarction as assessed by MRI.
1.5
Overall Risk/Benefit Assessment
The current study is a Phase 2 study of BMS-986141 in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA 
who are also receiving ASA. Prior to this study BMS-986141 has only been dosed in healthy 
subjects.
Preclinical studies in non-human primates suggest that BMS 986141 may be more effective at 
preventing the growth of an arterial thrombus than treatment with ASA alone. Furthermore, 
substantial antithrombotic efficacy has been observed at doses which increase provoked bleeding 
to an extent that is comparable to or less than that of ASA. Thus BMS-986141 may have the 
potential to provide an improved benefit-risk profile compared to existing therapies for the 
prevention and/or treatment of atherothrombotic diseases such as stroke.
The study and dosing scheme described herein has been designed to minimize risks to study 
subjects and is based on the previous clinical experience in healthy subjects and preclinical 
toxicity studies as described in the Investigator Brochure. There were no adverse findings in 
28-day preclinical toxicology studies. In 3-month studies, the major preclinical findings of note 
were microscopic changes in kidneys of some of the monkeys that received the highest dose of 
BMS-986141, 75 mg/kg/day. These changes have been characterized as moderate degeneration 
and regeneration of tubular epithelium, and the effect was not observed one month after 
cessation of dosing. Monitoring of kidney function, urinalysis, and exploratory renal biomarkers 
will occur throughout the treatment period to facilitate early identification of renal abnormalities
in subjects in the study.

The doses selected for this study are projected to span the anticipated pharmacologically active 
dose range and are considered within the safety margin indicated by the preclinical toxicology 
and the clinical experience in healthy volunteers. Of note, co-administration of moderate 
inhibitors of CYP3A4 (eg, diltiazem, verapamil) have the potential of increasing exposures of 
BMS-986141 beyond those observed with ASA co-administration. However, it is not anticipated 
that exposures will exceed those observed in Phase 1 study (CV006003).
While bleeding was not observed to any significant degree either pre-clinically or in healthy 
volunteers, there is a potential risk of bleeding with any antithrombotic agent. There will 
therefore be close monitoring of subjects for bleeding and oversight of the study by an 
independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC).

Informed Consent
Investigators must ensure that subjects are clearly and fully informed about the purpose, potential 
risks, and other critical issues regarding clinical studies in which they volunteer to participate.
In situations where consent cannot be given to subjects, their legally acceptable representatives
(as per country guidelines) are clearly and fully informed about the purpose, potential risks, and 
other critical issues regarding clinical studies in which the subject volunteers to participate.
BMS will provide the investigator with an appropriate (ie, Global or Local) sample informed 
consent form which will include all elements required by ICH, GCP and applicable regulatory 
requirements. The sample informed consent form will adhere to the ethical principles that have 
their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki.
Investigators must:

Provide a copy of the consent form and written information about the study in the language 
in which the subject is most proficient prior to clinical study participation. The language 
must be non-technical and easily understood

Allow time necessary for subject or subject’s legally acceptable representative to inquire 
about the details of the study

Obtain an informed consent signed and personally dated by the subject or the subject’s 
legally acceptable representative and by the person who conducted the informed consent 
discussion

Obtain the IRB/IEC’s written approval/favorable opinion of the written informed consent 
form and any other information to be provided to the subjects, prior to the beginning of the 
study, and after any revisions are completed for new information.
If informed consent is initially given by a subject’s legally acceptable representative or legal 
guardian, and the subject subsequently becomes capable of making and communicating his or 
her informed consent during the study, consent must additionally be obtained from the subject.
Revise the informed consent whenever important new information becomes available that is 
relevant to the subject’s consent. The investigator, or a person designated by the investigator, 
should fully inform the subject or the subject’s legally acceptable representative or legal 
guardian, of all pertinent aspects of the study and of any new information relevant to the 
subject’s willingness to continue participation in the study. This communication should be 
documented. 
The confidentiality of records that could identify subjects must be protected, respecting the 
privacy and confidentiality rules applicable to regulatory requirements, the subjects’ signed ICF 
and, in the United States, the subjects’ signed HIPAA Authorization.
The consent form must also include a statement that BMS and regulatory authorities have direct 
access to subject records.

Subjects unable to give their written consent (eg, stroke or subjects with severe dementia) may 
only be enrolled in the study with the consent of a legally acceptable representative. The subject 
must also be informed about the nature of the study to the extent compatible with his or her
understanding, and should this subject become capable, he or she should personally sign and date 
the consent form as soon as possible. The explicit wish of a subject who is unable to give his or 
her written consent, but who is capable of forming an opinion and assessing information to 
refuse participation in, or to be withdrawn from, the clinical study at any time should be 
considered by the investigator.
The rights, safety, and well-being of the study subjects are the most important considerations and 
should prevail over interests of science and society.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN
3.1
Study Design and Duration
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, study to evaluate the 
efficacy and safety of BMS-986141 in addition to ASA in subjects following acute ischemic 
stroke or TIA. Eligible subjects will be screened for possible inclusion in the study as soon as 
possible after arrival at the hospital, and randomized within 48 hours of the time they were last 
seen normal prior to acute ischemic stroke/TIA. In order to study subjects during their period of 
highest risk for recurrent stroke, randomization and treatment as early as possible after admission 
to the hospital is preferred. A baseline study-specific MRI evaluation must be performed no later 
than 24 hours after randomization.
The study will be conducted in two parts. Subjects in both parts of the study will be randomly 
assigned to one of three different doses of BMS-986141 or matching placebo, and will continue 
on the assigned dose for the duration of the treatment period. Approximately 1312 subjects will 
be randomized into the study in total. Initially randomization will be limited to the two lower 
doses of BMS-986141 or placebo. Randomization to the highest dose of BMS-986141 will only 
be initiated after DMC review of safety and laboratory data from the Day 28 study visit for at 
least 10% of the planned total subjects.
In Part 1 of the study, the treatment period will be 28 days. Part 2 of the study will only be 
initiated after regulatory review of reports from 90-day nonclinical toxicology studies that were 
recently completed. The treatment period in Part 2 will be 90 days. Subjects that are entered into 
Part 1 of the study will not be allowed to enter into Part 2.
The primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed at 28 days after the initial dose in all subjects. 
Additional objectives will be assessed at 28 or 90 days.
The study design schematic is presented in Figure 3.1-1.

Screening Period
Subjects with acute ischemic stroke or TIA will be evaluated for study eligibility. Subjects 
should be evaluated and treated according to the local standard of care. Subjects who meet the 
inclusion/exclusion criteria are eligible. In order to prevent overrepresentation of lacunar

randomized after a limit of approximately 20% of the total study population have been 
randomized with lacunar infarction. This limit will be imposed by the study IVRS. Informed 
consent must be obtained before any study-specific procedures are performed. Local laboratory 
values will be used for assessment of eligibility. A head MRI that meets criteria established for 
the study will be required in all subjects within 24 hours of randomization. It is preferred that 
imaging be performed as early as possible after enrollment. Imaging may be performed before 
randomization but should not be a cause of delayed randomization. Images obtained prior to 
screening will only be acceptable if performed under the same criteria that will be established for
the Day 28 MRI. Similarly, any other study related procedures including but not limited to 
physical examination (PE), vital signs, or laboratory work performed as part of standard of care 
may be used as screening data if they meet the requirements of the study protocol.
Randomization (Day 1)
Subjects must be randomized within 48 hours of onset of symptoms of stroke or TIA. If 
symptoms are present on awakening, the time for onset of symptoms should be considered as the 
time at which they were last seen normal. Subjects will be randomized via IVRS to one of three 
doses of BMS-986141 or placebo. All subjects will receive open-label ASA at a dose from 75 to
162 mg per day beginning at a time consistent with local standard of care for patients with acute 
ischemic stroke or TIA. 
Treatment Period
Subjects should receive the first dose of study medication as soon as possible after randomization
and continue with once daily dosing for the duration of the treatment period. Dosing after Day 1
should be in the morning, and must be done while fasting. Subjects who receive their first dose 
of study medication in the afternoon or evening should be given their second dose on the 
morning of the second day. Subjects should be made aware of the signs or symptoms of recurrent 
stroke, and instructed to report any adverse events.
A study visit will be performed on the day of hospital discharge. Subjects will be instructed to 
report any adverse events occurring after hospital discharge, including any occurrence of 
bleeding or signs or symptoms of recurrent stroke.
The study site will contact the subject by telephone on Day 10 3 days to assess study 
medication compliance and assess the subject’s health status.
A study visit will be performed 28 3 days after the first dose of study medication. Head MRI 
will be performed for assessment of unrecognized brain infarctions. For subjects enrolled in 
Part 1 of the study, Day 28 will be the end of the treatment period and it is preferred that the 
study visit be performed on Day 28 or earlier.
Part 2 of the study will only be initiated after regulatory review of 90-day preclinical toxicology 
study reports and the updated Investigator Brochure. For subjects enrolled in Part 2 of the study, 
the treatment period will be 90 days. There will be no change in study visits through Day 28. 
Additional treatment period study visits for these subjects will occur 56 and 90 days after the 
beginning of the treatment period.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling will be performed in all subjects. See Section 5.5.
A sub-study conducted at select sites will enroll approximately 50 subjects per arm for which 
additional blood will be collected for analysis of platelet aggregation as a pharmacodynamic 
biomarker. See Section 5.6.
Follow-Up Period
The follow-up period will last until the later of 90 days after the first dose of study drug or 
30 days after treatment discontinuation. Subjects will be instructed to report any adverse events 
that occur during the follow-up period. No additional study assessments are planned at the 
follow-up visit, which may be an in-person study visit or if necessary conducted by telephone.
Duration of Study
The expected duration of the study, from first subject, first visit through the last subject, last 
follow-up visit (eg, the End of the study), is approximately 28 months.
3.2
Post Study Access to Therapy
At the end of the study treatment period, BMS will not continue to provide BMS supplied study 
drug to subjects/investigators unless BMS chooses to extend the study. The investigator should 
ensure that the subject receives appropriate standard of care to treat the condition under study.
Treatment codes will be provided to the investigators following the final database lock and after 
unblinding by BMS.

3.5
Discontinuation of Subjects following any Treatment with Study Drug 
During treatment period circumstances may arise which require temporary or permanent 
discontinuation of investigational product. For guidance related to the temporary discontinuation 
please refer to Section 3.4.1.
Subjects MUST discontinue investigational product (and non-investigational product at the 
discretion of the investigator) for any of the following reasons:

Subject’s request to stop study treatment

Any clinical adverse event (AE), laboratory abnormality or intercurrent illness which, in the 
opinion of the investigator, indicates that continued participation in the study is not in the 
best interest of the subject

Any clinical condition requiring treatment with a prohibited medication for more than 14 
days

Termination of the study by Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS)

Loss of ability to freely provide consent through imprisonment or involuntarily incarceration 
for treatment of either a psychiatric or physical (eg, infectious disease) illness

Severe non-compliance to protocol, as judged by the investigator and/or Sponsor (BMS)

Incorrect enrollment (ie, the subject does not meet the required inclusion/exclusion criteria) 
for the study, as determined after consultation with the sponsor

Pregnancy

Moderate or severe renal impairment defined as eGFR < 45 mL/min (see section 5.3.7.1) for 
more than 7 days.

Subjects with an ALT and/or AST > 3ULN will be scheduled for a follow up visit within 
3 days following the receipt of the result. Subjects should be discontinued from study if the 
initial and repeat laboratory tests meet any of the following criteria:


Subjects requiring treatment with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inducers 

Subjects treated with any intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis or with mechanical 
thrombectomy
In the case of pregnancy, the investigator must immediately notify the Sponsor or designee of 
this event. In most cases, the study drug will be permanently discontinued in an appropriate 
manner (eg, dose tapering if necessary for subject safety). Please contact the Sponsor or designee 
within 24 hours of awareness of the pregnancy. If the investigator determines a possible 
favorable benefit/risk ratio that warrants continuation of study drug, a discussion between the 
investigator and the Sponsor or designee must occur.
All subjects who discontinue study drug should comply with protocol specified follow-up 
procedures as outlined in Section 5. The only exception to this requirement is when a subject 
withdraws consent for all study procedures including post-treatment study follow-up or loses the 
ability to consent freely (ie, is imprisoned or involuntarily incarcerated for the treatment of either 
a psychiatric or physical illness).
If study drug is discontinued prior to the subject’s completion of the study, the reason for the 
discontinuation must be documented in the subject’s medical records and entered on the 
appropriate case report form (CRF) page.
3.6
Post Study Drug Study Follow up
In this study, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the Day 28 MRI is a key 
endpoint of the study. Post treatment follow-up is of critical importance and is essential to 
preserving subject safety and the integrity of the study. Subjects who discontinue study drug
must continue to be followed for collection of outcome and/or survival follow-up data as 
required and in line with Section 5 until death or the conclusion of the study.
3.6.1
Withdrawal of Consent
Subjects who request to discontinue study drug will remain in the study and must continue to be 
followed for protocol specified follow-up procedures. The only exception to this is when a 
subject specifically withdraws consent for any further contact with him/her or persons previously 
authorized by subject to provide this information. Subjects should notify the investigator of the 
decision to withdraw consent from future follow-up in writing, whenever possible. The 
withdrawal of consent should be explained in detail in the medical records by the investigator, as 
to whether the withdrawal is from further treatment with study drug only or also from study 
procedures and/or post treatment study follow-up, and entered on the appropriate CRF page. In 
the event that vital status (whether the subject is alive or dead) is being measured, publicly 
available information should be used to determine vital status only as appropriately directed in 
accordance with local law.

Lost to Follow-Up
All reasonable efforts must be made to locate subjects to determine and report their ongoing 
status. This includes follow-up with persons authorized by the subject as noted above. Lost to 
follow-up is defined by the inability to reach the subject after a minimum of three documented 
phone calls, faxes, or emails as well as lack of response by subject to one registered mail letter. 
All attempts should be documented in the subject’s medical records. If it is determined that the 
subject has died, the site will use permissible local methods to obtain the date and cause of death.
If investigator’s use of third-party representative to assist in the follow-up portion of the study 
has been included in the subject’s informed consent, then the investigator may use a 
Sponsor-retained third-party representative to assist site staff with obtaining subject’s contact 
information or other public vital status data necessary to complete the follow-up portion of the 
study. The site staff and representative will consult publicly available sources, such as public 
health registries and databases, in order to obtain updated contact information. If after all 
attempts, the subject remains lost to follow-up, then the last known alive date as determined by 
the investigator should be reported and documented in the subject’s medical records.

Investigational Product
An investigational product, also known as investigational medicinal product in some regions, is 
defined a pharmaceutical form of an active substance or placebo being tested or used as a 
reference in a clinical study, including products already with a marketing authorization but used 
or assembled (formulated or packaged) differently than the authorized form, or used for an 
unauthorized indication, or when used to gain further information about the authorized form.
The investigational product should be stored in a secure area according to local regulations. It is 
the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that investigational product is only dispensed to 
study subjects. The investigational product must be dispensed only from official study sites by 
authorized personnel according to local regulations.
4.2
Non-investigational Product
Other medications used as support or escape medication for preventative, diagnostic, or 
therapeutic reasons, as components of the standard of care for a given diagnosis, may be
considered as non-investigational products. 
In this protocol, non-investigational product(s) are: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).
The Sponsor will not be providing the ASA. It should be sourced locally by the investigator in 
commercial packaging.
4.3
Storage of Study Drug 
The product storage manager should ensure that the study drug is stored in accordance with the 
environmental conditions (temperature, light, and humidity) as determined by BMS. If concerns 
regarding the quality or appearance of the study drug arise, the study drug should not be 
dispensed and contact BMS immediately.
Study drug not supplied by BMS will be stored in accordance with the package insert.
Please refer to Section 9.2.2 for guidance on IP records and documentation.
The blinded study medication requires refrigeration and protection from light and moisture. 
While at the study site the blinded study medication must be maintained at a temperature 
between 2-8ᵒC.
Subjects will be instructed to ensure study medication is kept refrigerated between 2-8ᵒC and 
protected from light and moisture while in their possession. Refer to Table 4-1 for the specific 
storage requirements for the blinded study medication.
4.4
Method of Assigning Subject Identification
At the screening visit each subject will be assigned a unique sequential subject number by the 
Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS). The subject number will consist of 5 digits which 
are assigned sequentially (00001, 00002, 00003, etc.) by the IVRS. This number will be used for 
identification throughout the study and will not be used for any other participant. Screening of 
subjects with lacunar infarcts will be capped at approximately 20%.

Randomization schedules will be generated by BMS and kept by the IVRS vendor. Subjects will 
be randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 blinded treatment groups (BMS-986141 0.8 mg, 
BMS-986141 4.8 mg, BMS-986141 8 mg, or placebo) by the IVRS. Randomization will be
limited to the two lower doses of BMS-986141 or placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio until after DMC 
review of safety and laboratory data from the Day 28 study visit for at least 10% of the planned 
total subjects. If the DMC recommends proceeding to inclusion of the highest dose, subsequent 
randomization will be in a 1:1:1:1 ratio.
At all study visits when study drug is dispensed, each subject will be assigned a container 
number by the IVRS. Container numbers will be assigned non-sequentially and will correspond 
to the numbers printed on the packages and bottles containing study drug, and will be recorded 
on the appropriate eCRF. The IVRS will be available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.
4.5
Selection and Timing of Dose for Each Subject
Study drug may be administered in the clinical facility or self-administered by the subject or 
their caregiver at home. Caregivers will need to be properly instructed about study medication 
dosing requirements by the study staff. The same caregiver should assist the subject with their 
daily dosing. 
Double blind study medication (BMS-986141 or matching placebo) will be taken once daily. The 
first dose of study medication should be taken as soon as possible after randomization. 
Subsequent doses including on Day 2 of the study should be taken in the morning and before 
breakfast. The subject must be in a fasted state for at least two (2) hours when taking study 
medication. Subjects should wait at least one (1) hour before consuming food.
Initially, each daily dose of double blind study medication will consist of 4 tablets. The double 
blind treatment period will be 28 days for Part 1 of the study and 90 days for Part 2 of the study.
Drug supplies that may become available in early 2017 may allow for dosing with 2 tablets per 
day. Sites will be provided with instructions and guidance on how to implement this change if it 
is to occur.
Subjects treated in Part 1 of the study MUST be instructed to stop study medication dosing on 
Day 28, even if visit will not occur on exactly Day 28.
Sparse PK sampling will occur at the Day 28 visit. Subjects will be instructed not to take their 
study medication dosage on Day 28 prior to coming to the study site. 
Additional drug, dosage and mode of administration
All subjects will be dispensed open label ASA at a dose prescribed by the investigator (not less 
than 75 mg and not to exceed 162 mg per day). It is recommended subjects remain on the same 
dose of ASA throughout the treatment period.
4.5.1
Dose Modifications
The dosage of double blind study medication may not be increased or decreased during the 
treatment period. Double blind study medication may be interrupted if treatment with prohibited 
or restricted concomitant therapies is needed. Refer to Section 3.4.1.

Blinding/Unblinding
Blinding of treatment assignment is critical to the integrity of this clinical study. However, in the 
event of a medical emergency or pregnancy in an individual subject in which knowledge of the 
investigational product is critical to the subject’s management, the blind for that subject may be 
broken by the investigator. The subject’s safety takes priority over any other considerations in 
determining if a treatment assignment should be unblinded.
Before breaking the blind of an individual subject’s treatment, the investigator should determine
that the unblinded information is necessary, ie, that it will alter the subject’s immediate 
management. In many cases, particularly when the emergency is clearly not related to the 
investigational product, the problem may be properly managed by assuming that the subject is 
receiving active product. It is highly desirable that the decision to unblind treatment assignment 
be discussed with the Medical Monitor, but the investigator always has ultimate authority for the 
decision to unblind. The Principal Investigator should only call in for emergency unblinding
AFTER the decision to discontinue the subject has been made.
For this study, the method of unblinding for emergency purposes is IVRS.
For further instructions on how to unblind in the event of an emergency please consult the IVRS 
manual provided for this study. Following the unblinding of a subject’s treatment the
Investigator shall notify the Medical Monitor.
In cases of accidental unblinding, contact the Medical Monitor and ensure every attempt is made 
to preserve the blind.
Any request to unblind a subject for non-emergency purposes should be discussed with the 
Medical Monitor.
Except as noted, BMS Research and Development personnel and all vendors responsible for the 
conduct of the trial (protocol team) will remain blinded for the duration of the trial. Staff of BMS 
Research and Development that are independent from the protocol team will be unblinded to 
pharmacokinetic data during the course of the trial and may make recommendations to enroll 
additional participants to specific dosage tiers in order to obtain sufficient exposures. Any such 
recommendations will be considered by the Steering Committee and DMC.
The DMC will assess safety on an ongoing basis, and will have access to unblinded treatment 
codes. An analysis team, including a reporting statistician and programming support, who are not 
involved with the conduct of the study, will provide analyses to the DMC. The 
pharmacokineticist or designate in Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics; and 
programmers in Data Sciences may be unblinded in order to prepare preliminary summaries of 
pharmacokinetic and safety data as needed before data is more generally unblinded. This 
unblinded analysis team will not provide any information from unblinded analyses to the 
protocol team until after the trial completes.
The Bioanalytical Sciences section or its designate will be unblinded to the randomized 
treatment assignments in order to minimize unnecessary analysis of samples from control group 
subjects. Likewise, the Biotransformation section or its designate may be unblinded, if

metabolite profiling work is conducted. This unblinded analysis team will not provide any 
information from unblinded analyses to the protocol team until after the trial completes.
Platelet aggregation will be collected and reviewed for QC purposes by hospital and vendor
personnel not associated with the clinical conduct of the study. During the double-blind 
treatment period, platelet aggregation will be masked to the Investigator and protocol team. One 
biomarker representative and/or designate, may be unmasked to review the platelet aggregation 
data, and will not provide any information that can potentially be unblinding to the protocol team 
until after the trial completes. The unmasked platelet aggregation data will be provided to the 
study team after the study has been completed.
4.7
Treatment Compliance
Each time study medication (BMS-986141/placebo and ASA) is dispensed, compliance will be 
reinforced, and subjects will be given a dosing diary to complete. When study medication is 
returned, compliance will be assessed based upon the subject’s interview, review of the diary and 
a count of the tablets returned. Compliance should be between 80 and 120%. 
The investigator (or designee) will record the amounts of study medication dispensed and 
returned at each visit, as well as document reasons for non-compliance in the source document. 
The dates of all study medication dosing, including interruptions, missed doses or overdose, must 
be recorded on the eCRF. Non-compliant subjects should be re-educated regarding treatment 
compliance and/or the recording of dosing in the dosing diary.
4.8
Destruction or Return of Investigational Product

5.1.1
Retesting During Screening or Lead-in Period
Retesting of laboratory parameters and/or other assessments within any single Screening or 
Lead-in period will be permitted (in addition to any parameters that require a confirmatory 
value).
Any new result will override the previous result (ie, the most current result prior to 
Randomization) and is the value by which study inclusion will be assessed, as it represents the 
subject’s most current, clinical state.
Laboratory parameters and/or assessments that are included in Table 5.1-1, Screening Procedural 
Outline may be repeated in an effort to find all possible well-qualified subjects. Consultation 
with the Medical Monitor may be needed to identify whether repeat testing of any particular 
parameter is clinically relevant.
5.2
Study Materials
BMS will supply the study sites with the following:

Patient Dosing Diaries to be completed daily after hospital discharge to record study 
medication taken. Diaries should be completed by all randomized subjects and reviewed for 
accuracy and completeness by the study staff at each study visit (refer to Section 4.7). 
WOCBP to record Day 84 urine pregnancy test result in diary.

Patient Emergency Card

Protocol specified rating scales

Electronic case report forms
The Imaging Core Lab will supply the following:

Image acquisition guidelines and submission processes will be outlined in the CV006004 
Imaging Manual, to be provided by the imaging core lab.
5.3
Safety Assessments
Only data for the procedures and assessments specified in the protocol should be submitted to 
BMS on a case report form. Additional procedures and assessments may be performed as part of 
the subject’s standard of care; however, data for these assessments should remain in the subject’s 
medical record and should not be provided to BMS, unless needed to support an AE, SAE report,
adjudication dossier or specifically requested by the sponsor.
5.3.1
Imaging Assessment for the Study
Any incidental findings of potential clinical relevance that are not directly associated with the 
objectives of the protocol should be evaluated and handled by the Study Investigator as per 
standard medical/clinical judgment.
Imaging is an important component of the study. All subjects will undergo standardized MRI at 
baseline and at the Day 28 visit. Images may be evaluated locally, but must also be submitted for

analysis by the Imaging Adjudication Committee. Results of centralized analysis will not be 
returned to the sites. 
In addition, various types of imaging may be used for the clinical evaluation of suspected
efficacy or safety endpoints. For these events, investigators should perform and analyze imaging 
and other assessments according to their normal clinical practice and the local standard of care, 
and base any treatment decisions on the local interpretation. Results of these assessments will 
also be submitted for adjudication by the CEC. Results of the adjudication by the CEC will not 
be returned to the sites.
5.3.2
Bleeding
The main safety outcome of the study is bleeding. Subjects with bleeding or suspected bleeding 
will undergo confirmatory laboratory or other testing (ultrasound [US], CT, MRI, etc.) and an 
(S)AE CRF must be completed. All clinically overt bleeding events that lead to medical 
treatment or evaluation, or discontinuation of study medication must be submitted for 
adjudication. Major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding will be adjudicated by CEC 
according to definitions specified in the CEC charter.
Acute clinically overt bleeding is defined as new onset, visible bleeding or signs or symptoms 
suggestive of bleeding with confirmatory imaging techniques which can detect the presence of 
blood (eg, US, CT, MRI).
The definition of major bleeding described below is adapted from the International Society on 
Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) definition.
Major bleeding event is defined as a bleeding event that is:

Acute clinically overt bleeding accompanied by one or more of the following:

A decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) of 2 g/dL or more

A transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells

Bleeding that occurs in at least one of the following critical sites:
Intracranial
Intra-spinal
Intraocular (within the corpus of the eye; thus, a conjunctival bleed is not an 
intraocular bleed)
Pericardial
An operated joint and requires re-operation or intervention
Intramuscular with compartment syndrome
Retroperitoneal

Bleeding that is fatal
Clinically relevant non-major bleeding event is defined as a bleeding event that is:

Acute clinically overt bleeding

Minor bleeding event is defined as any adjudicated bleeding event that does not meet the criteria 
for Major Bleeding or Clinically Relevant Non-Major Bleeding.
Fatal Bleeding Event is defined as a bleeding event that the CEC determines is the primary 
cause of death or contributes directly to death.
5.3.3
Physical Examination

A complete physical examination should include general appearance, head, eyes, ears, nose, 
throat, neck, cardiovascular, lungs, abdomen, lymph nodes, extremities, neurological, skin, 
and musculoskeletal

The individual performing the physical examinations must be licensed by state law 
(or applicable local law) to perform this procedure
5.3.4
Vital Signs
Vital signs (blood pressure and heart rate) will be recorded during the Screening visit and at each 
study visit during the treatment period. Vital signs scheduled at the same visit as blood samples 
or ECG should be completed before blood is drawn, ECG is collected or any medication is 
administered.
5.3.5
Physical Measurements
Physical measurements, including height (Screening only) and weight will be measured at the 
Screening visit and at each study visit during the treatment period.
5.3.6
Electrocardiograms
A 12-lead ECG will be recorded at Screening and at the end of treatment period visits.
5.3.7
Laboratory Test Assessments
A local/central laboratory will perform the analyses and will provide reference ranges for these 
tests. All screening laboratory tests will be performed locally. Day 1 pre-dose labs and those 
drawn throughout the study should be analyzed by the central laboratory. Results of clinical 
laboratory tests performed at Screening must be available prior to dosing. 
Unexpected abnormal results on urinalysis should be confirmed by retesting of a new, carefully 
obtained sample.

Other Supplemental (Unscheduled) Visits
At any time during the trial, the investigator may at his/her discretion arrange for a subject to 
have an unscheduled (supplemental) assessment(s), especially in the case of AEs that require 
follow-up. If a subject is seen for an unscheduled assessment, the appropriate Supplemental 
Pages of the eCRF must be completed.
5.4
Efficacy Assessments
The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the incidence of a composite of symptomatic 
ischemic stroke by Day 28 and unrecognized brain infarction assessed by MRI at Day 28.
Symptomatic stroke is defined in Section 5.4.1. Unrecognized brain infarction is defined in 
Section 5.4.2.
Additional secondary efficacy endpoints include Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE), 
including symptomatic stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death. Myocardial 
infarction is defined in Section 5.4.3. Classification of deaths is described in Section 5.4.4.
5.4.1
Symptomatic Stroke
All cases of suspected recurrent stroke will be adjudicated by a blinded Clinical Events 
Adjudication Committee (CEC). Further information regarding the CEC and its processes are 
detailed in the CEC Charter.
Diagnosis of stroke will require the abrupt onset of focal neurological symptoms lasting at least 
24 hours or identification of an acute, new infarct by CT or MRI in subjects with symptoms 
lasting less than 24 hours. Evaluation and treatment of strokes will be according to the local 
standard of care. It is strongly recommended (but not required) that an imaging procedure such 
as a CT scan or MRI be performed to evaluate events of suspected stroke or TIA. Adjudicated 
strokes will be categorized by the CEC as definite ischemic, definite hemorrhagic, hemorrhagic 
transformation or type uncertain. Additional classification of stroke subtypes will be specified in 
the CEC charter.

par4
Evaluation of suspected TIA events should be performed according to the local standard of care. 
If a TIA is considered to be a suspected stroke event by the investigator, the procedure for 
reporting a suspected stroke event should be followed and the event will be adjudicated.
5.4.2
Unrecognized Brain Infarction
MRI of the brain will be obtained in all subjects no later than within 24 hours of randomization
and at the Day 28 visit as described in the Imaging Procedures Manual. The baseline and Day 28 
MRIs for each subject will be reviewed independently by the blinded neuroradiologists of the 
Imaging Adjudication Committee to determine if any new areas of infarction have developed 
since the baseline MRI. These independent assessments will undergo adjudication according to 
the processes described in the Imaging Charter with a single, adjudicated determination recorded 
for each subject.
Details regarding MRI acquisition, including required sequences, slice thickness, and quality 
control are presented in the Imaging Procedures Manual.
5.4.2.1
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has now become the primary noninvasive modality for 
stroke imaging. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) is highly sensitive in identifying hyperacute 
and acute cerebral infarction, showing ischemia within minutes of vascular occlusion.8 The 
stroke lesion appears bright on DWI scans in the acute and subacute stages, while chronic 
infarcts are characterized by dark signal on DWI8. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) 
MRI has had important applications in the imaging of stroke patients9. FLAIR depicts areas of 
tissue T2 prolongation while suppressing CSF signal, offering a sensitive method to detect 
lesions.8 Hyperintensity of the ischemic brain in acute strokes is seen on FLAIR as early as 4 to 
6 hours after infarction at a time when T1-weighted images (T1WI) and T2-weighted images 
(T2WI) are usually normal. After the first 24 hours, T1W1, T2W1, and FLAIR are most useful in 
subacute and chronic stroke. FLAIR and DWI sequences will be used to identify any new 
ischemic infarction lesions as compared to the baseline MRI. Details of study-required MRI 
parameters will be described in the study imaging manual.
5.4.3
Myocardial Infarction
All cases of suspected myocardial infarction will be adjudicated by the CEC based on evidence 
in the clinical dossier prepared for all reported suspected MI events. 
An acute MI requires the presence of at least two out of the three following conditions:

an appropriate clinical situation suggestive of an MI (eg, abnormal history, physical 
examination or new ECG changes)

elevation of CK-MB or Troponin T or I 2 x ULN; if no CK-MB or troponin values are 
available, a total CK 2x ULN; 

new, significant (0.04 seconds) Q waves in 2 contiguous leads.

Classification of Death
Deaths will be categorized by the CEC as either cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular death. All 
deaths will be assumed to be cardiovascular unless a non-cardiovascular cause can be clearly 
provided.
1) Cardiovascular
This category includes cardiac deaths (eg, cardiogenic shock, arrhythmia/sudden death, 
cardiac rupture) and other cardiovascular deaths (stroke, pulmonary embolism, ruptured 
aortic aneurysm or dissection).
2) Non-cardiovascular
This category includes all deaths due to a clearly documented non-cardiovascular cause, such 
as respiratory failure (excluding cardiogenic pulmonary edema), hemorrhage (other than 
intracranial), infections/sepsis, neoplasm, and trauma (including suicide and homicide).

Pharmacokinetic Sample Analyses
The PK plasma samples will be analyzed for BMS-986141 using a validated LC-MS/MS assay 
and a qualified LC-MS/MS assay for BMT-162856. Pharmacokinetic samples collected from a 
subject who received placebo will not be analyzed.
In addition, after the scheduled pharmacokinetic analyses are completed, residual plasma may be 
used for metabolite profiling or assessment of other metabolites, if the need arises and to the 
extent possible. If these analyses are conducted, they will be reported separately from the CSR.
Further details of sample collection and processing will be provided to the site in the laboratory

Other Assessments 
The following assessments are required to be done at Screening to confirm patient eligibility.
5.8.1
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)
The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a well-validated, reliable graded 
neurological examination that rates speech and language, cognition, visual field deficits, motor 
and sensory impairments, and ataxia.10 The NIHSS has become a standard part of clinical 
assessments used in many stroke trials because of its utility to measure the neurologic deficits 
most often seen with acute stroke patients. It consists of 11 elements that reflect the wakefulness, 
vision, and motor, sensory, and language function of stroke patients. Possible scores range from 
0-42 with higher scores indicating more severe deficits. Performing the NIHSS has been timed to 
take 5-8 minutes. Sites should only use the version of the rating scale provided by BMS for this 
study. 
5.8.2
ABCD2
The ABCD2 (age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration, diabetes) score is a risk assessment 
tool designed to improve the prediction of short-term stroke risk after a TIA.11 The ABCD2 
score is calculated by summing up points for five independent factors, specifically age, blood 
pressure, clinical features of the TIA, duration of the TIA, and the presence of diabetes. Multiple 
studies have shown that as the ABCD2 score increases the risk of subsequent stroke also 
increases. Sites should only use the source document of this risk assessment tool provided by 
BMS for this study.
5.8.3
Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) Subtyping
The investigators of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP) described a method of 
subtyping cerebral infarctions into four clinically identifiable subgroups12. Using the OCSP 
approach, the clinical stroke is categorized based on presenting symptoms and signs. The authors 
pointed out that the subtyping is based on the clinical pattern at the time of maximum deficit 
from stroke onset. Their approach utilized the patient history and neurological examination but 
not the results of investigations such as imaging or cardiac rhythm monitoring. Cerebral infarcts

are subtyped as Lacunar Infarcts (LACI), Total Anterior Circulation Infarcts (TACI), Partial 
Anterior Circulation Infarcts (PACI), or Posterior Circulation Infarcts (POCI) based on clinical 
features. Descriptions of the clinical features of the subtypes can be found in their publication12.
In recent years, the OSCP approach has been extended by utilizing the results of cerebral 
imaging for the classifications13. For this study, the last letter for each classification will indicate 
whether or not the index infarct is identified on imaging. The last character of the OCSP 
classification will be either I (infarction) for cases when the index infarct is identified on imaging 
or S (syndrome) for cases in which imaging has not shown the index infarct at time of 
classification. Strokes will be subtyped using the extended OSCP categories by the investigator 
during Screening for index strokes.

ADVERSE EVENTS
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a 
preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation subject administered study drug and that 
does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any 
unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease 
temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study 
drug.
The causal relationship to study drug is determined by a physician and should be used to assess 
all adverse events (AE). The causal relationship can be one of the following:

Related: There is a reasonable causal relationship between study drug administration and the 
AE.

Not related: There is not a reasonable causal relationship between study drug administration 
and the AE.
The term “reasonable causal relationship” means there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship.
Adverse events can be spontaneously reported or elicited during open-ended questioning, 
examination, or evaluation of a subject. (In order to prevent reporting bias, subjects should not be 
questioned regarding the specific occurrence of one or more AEs.)
Sponsor or designee will be reporting adverse events to regulatory authorities and ethics 
committees according to local applicable laws including European Directive 2001/20/EC and 
FDA Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR Parts 312 and 320.
6.1
Serious Adverse Events
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

results in death

is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of 
the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it 
were more severe)


requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization 
(see NOTE below)

results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 

is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but, based upon appropriate medical and 
scientific judgment, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention [eg, medical, 
surgical] to prevent one of the other serious outcomes listed in the definition above.) 
Examples of such events include, but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency 
room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not 
result in hospitalization.) Potential drug induced liver injury (DILI) is also considered an 
important medical event. (See Section 6.6 for the definition of potential DILI.)
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent (eg, pathogenic or nonpathogenic) via the study 
drug is an SAE.
Although pregnancy, overdose, cancer, and potential drug induced liver injury (DILI) are not 
always serious by regulatory definition, these events must
be handled as
SAEs.
(See Section 6.1.1 for reporting pregnancies).
NOTE: 
The following hospitalizations are not considered SAEs in BMS clinical studies:

a visit to the emergency room or other hospital department < 24 hours, that does not result in 
admission (unless considered an important medical or life-threatening event)

elective surgery, planned prior to signing consent

admissions as per protocol for a planned medical/surgical procedure

routine health assessment requiring admission for baseline/trending of health status 
(eg, routine colonoscopy)

medical/surgical admission other than to remedy ill health and planned prior to entry into the 
study. Appropriate documentation is required in these cases

admission encountered for another life circumstance that carries no bearing on health status 
and requires no medical/surgical intervention (eg, lack of housing, economic inadequacy, 
caregiver respite, family circumstances, administrative reason)

Admission for administration of anticancer therapy in the absence of any other SAEs (applies 
to oncology protocols)

Serious Adverse Event Collection and Reporting
Sections 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 in the Investigator Brochure (IB) represent the Reference Safety 
Information to determine expectedness of serious adverse events for expedited reporting. 
Following the subject’s written consent to participate in the study, all SAEs, whether related or 
not related to study drug, must be collected, including those thought to be associated with

protocol-specified procedures. All SAEs must be collected that occur during the screening period 
and within 30 days of discontinuation of dosing or subject’s participation in the study, if the last 
scheduled visit occurs at a later time. If applicable, SAEs must be collected that relate to any 
later protocol specified procedure.
The investigator must report any SAE that occurs after these time periods and that is believed to 
be related to study drug or protocol-specified procedure. 
An SAE report must be completed for any event where doubt exists regarding its seriousness. 
If the investigator believes that an SAE is not related to study drug, but is potentially related to 
the conditions of the study (such as withdrawal of previous therapy or a complication of a study 
procedure), the relationship must be specified in the narrative section of the SAE Report Form.
SAEs, whether related or not related to study drug, and pregnancies must be reported to Sponsor
(or designee) within 24 hours of awareness of the event. SAEs must be recorded on the SAE 
Report Form; pregnancies on a Pregnancy Surveillance Form (electronic or paper forms). The 
preferred method for SAE data reporting collection is through the eCRF. The paper 
SAE/pregnancy surveillance forms are only intended as a back-up option when the eCRF system 
is not functioning. In this case, the paper forms are to be transmitted via email or confirmed 
facsimile (fax) transmission to:
SAE Email Address: Refer to Contact Information list.
SAE Facsimile Number: Refer to Contact Information list.
For studies capturing SAEs through electronic data capture (EDC), electronic submission is the 
required method for reporting. In the event the electronic system is unavailable for transmission, 
paper forms must be used and submitted immediately. When paper forms are used, the original 
paper forms are to remain on site.
SAE Telephone Contact (required for SAE and pregnancy reporting): Refer to Contact
Information list.
If only limited information is initially available, follow-up reports are required. (Note: Follow-up 
SAE reports must include the same investigator term(s) initially reported.) 
If an ongoing SAE changes in its intensity or relationship to study drug or if new information 
becomes available, the SAE report must be updated and submitted within 24 hours to Sponsor
(or designee) using the same procedure used for transmitting the initial SAE report.
All SAEs must be followed to resolution or stabilization.
BMS will be reporting adverse events to regulatory authorities and ethics committees according 
to local applicable laws including European Directive 2001/20/EC and FDA Code of Federal 
Regulations 21 CFR Parts 312 and 320. A SUSAR (Suspected, Unexpected Serious Adverse 
Reaction) is a subset of SAEs and will be reported to the appropriate regulatory authorities and 
investigators following local and global guidelines and requirements.

Nonserious Adverse Events
A nonserious adverse event is an AE not classified as serious.
6.2.1
Nonserious Adverse Event Collection and Reporting
The collection of nonserious AE information should begin at initiation of study drug. Nonserious 
AE information should also be collected from the start of a placebo lead-in period or other 
observational period intended to establish a baseline status for the subjects.
Nonserious AEs should be followed to resolution or stabilization, or reported as SAEs if they 
become serious (see Section 6.1.1). Follow-up is also required for nonserious AEs that cause 
interruption or discontinuation of study drug and for those present at the end of study treatment 
as appropriate. All identified nonserious AEs must be recorded and described on the nonserious 
AE page of the CRF (paper or electronic). 
Completion of supplemental CRFs may be requested for AEs and/or laboratory abnormalities 
that are reported/identified during the course of the study.
6.3
Laboratory Test Result Abnormalities
The following laboratory test result abnormalities should be captured on the nonserious AE CRF 
page or SAE Report Form (paper or electronic) as appropriate:

Any laboratory test result that is clinically significant or meets the definition of an SAE

Any laboratory test result abnormality that required the subject to have study drug 
discontinued or interrupted

Any laboratory test result abnormality that required the subject to receive specific corrective 
therapy
It is expected that wherever possible, the clinical rather than laboratory term would be used by 
the reporting investigator (eg, anemia versus low hemoglobin value).
6.4
Pregnancy
If, following initiation of the study drug, it is subsequently discovered that a study subject is 
pregnant or may have been pregnant at the time of study exposure, including during at least 
5 half lives after product administration, the investigator must immediately notify the Sponsor or
designee of this event and complete and forward a Pregnancy Surveillance Form to BMS 
Designee within 24 hours of awareness of the event and in accordance with SAE reporting 
procedures described in Section 6.1.1.
In most cases, the study drug will be permanently discontinued in an appropriate manner 
(eg, dose tapering if necessary for subject safety). Please call the Sponsor or designee within 
24 hours of awareness of the pregnancy.
The investigator must immediately notify the Sponsor or designee of this event and complete and 
forward a Pregnancy Surveillance Form to Sponsor or designee within 24 hours of awareness of

Any pregnancy that occurs in a female partner of a male study participant should be reported to 
Sponsor or designee. In order for BMS to collect any pregnancy surveillance information from 
the female partner, the female partner must sign an informed consent form for disclosure of this 
information. Information on this pregnancy will be collected on the Pregnancy Surveillance 
Form.
6.5
Overdose
An overdose is defined as the accidental or intentional administration of any dose of a product 
that is considered both excessive and medically important. All occurrences of overdose must be 
reported as an SAE (see Section 6.1.1 for reporting details.).
6.6
Potential Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI)
Wherever possible, timely confirmation of initial liver-related laboratory abnormalities should 
occur prior to the reporting of a potential DILI event. All occurrences of potential DILIs, 
meeting the defined criteria, must be reported as SAEs (see Section 6.1.1 for reporting details).
Potential drug induced liver injury is defined as: 
1. Aminotransaminases (ALT or AST) elevation > 3 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
AND
2. Total bilirubin > 2 times ULN, without initial findings of cholestasis (elevated serum alkaline 
phosphatase)
AND
3. No other immediately apparent possible causes of aminotransaminases (AT) 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

significant 
worsening
noted 
during 
interim 
or

Data Monitoring Committee
For the protection of subjects participating in the study, an independent Data Monitoring 
Committee (DMC) will review safety data including reports of bleeding. The full role of the 
DMC will be defined in the DMC charter. The committee will review partially unblinded 
accumulating data on a regular basis and will make recommendations regarding the continuing 
safety of subjects currently enrolled and yet to be enrolled in the trial. The DMC may 
recommend suspension of accrual into a BMS-986141 treatment group or early termination of 
the trial, for safety reasons. At all times during the course of the study, the DMC may request 
access to fully unblinded data if needed.
At the beginning of the study, subjects will be randomized to placebo, 0.8 or 4.8 mg of 
BMS-986141, with no subjects being randomized to the 8 mg dose. The DMC will review safety 
data when at least 10% of the total planned subjects for the study have completed their scheduled 
Day 28 visit and clinical laboratory results and other safety data from those subjects are 
available. Data to be included in that review will be specified in the DMC charter. As a result of 
this review, the DMC can recommend expansion of the randomization to all 4 study arms, 
additional experience on placebo and the 2 lower doses, or other modifications as necessary to 
ensure subject safety.
7.2
Independent Central Adjudication Committees
The clinical events adjudication committee (CEC) will be a blinded, independent group of 
clinicians experienced in the diagnosis of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases who are not 
otherwise involved with the study. The CEC will evaluate clinical events related to study 
endpoints, including adjudication of suspected symptomatic stroke, suspected myocardial 
infarction, bleeding, and death. The full role of the CEC and criteria for evaluation of clinical 
events will be defined in the CEC charter.
The imaging adjudication committee (IAC) will be an independent group of neuroradiologists 
experienced in the interpretation of brain MRI images. The IAC will evaluate blinded MRI 
images obtained no later than 24 hours after randomization and at the Day 28 study visit for
detection of unrecognized brain infarctions. The full role of the IAC and criteria for evaluation of 
unrecognized brain infarction will be defined in the IAC charter.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
8.1
Sample Size Determination
The primary efficacy endpoint of the study is the incidence of a composite of symptomatic 
ischemic stroke by Day 28 and unrecognized brain infarction at Day 28. Sample size calculations 
were performed for detecting a dose-response effect with the MCP-MOD methodology using 
simulations with the DoseFinding package in R14. Simulations of 1000 clinical trials were 
performed, assuming a true incidence for placebo of 14%, a maximum relative risk reduction of 
30% for BMS-986141 8 mg relative to placebo, and relative reductions of 75% and 90% of the 
maximum for the 0.8 and 4.8 mg doses, respectively. Candidate models included an Emax model 
and a logistic model.

Initially, randomization will be limited to the two lower doses of BMS-986141 (0.8 mg or 
4.8 mg) or placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio until after DMC review of safety and laboratory data from the 
Day 28 study visit for at least 10% of planned total subjects (approximately 132 subjects). If the 
DMC recommends proceeding to inclusion of the highest dose (8 mg), subsequent randomization 
will be in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Based on the staggered randomization as shown in Table 8.1-1 and the 
assumptions above, the study will have at least 80% power to demonstrate a dose-response 
relationship, using a 1-sided type I error rate of 15%. A total sample size of 1312 randomized 
subjects accounts for about 5% of subjects without post-randomization data.

Efficacy Analyses
8.4.2.1
Primary Efficacy Endpoint Analysis
To demonstrate the dose-response relationship between BMS-986141 treatment (including 
placebo) and primary endpoint, the primary analysis will be based on a Multiple Comparisons 
and Modeling (MCP-Mod) analysis.15,16 This analysis tests for a dose-response relationship, 
allowing for uncertainty in the dose-response relationship through inclusion of contrasts from
two pre-specified candidate models to assess dose-response. If a dose-response relationship 
exists, then fitted estimates for the incidence of the primary endpoint will be calculated in each 
of the treatment groups using the selected dose-response model, or using a weighted 
model-averaging method if significance is detected using both models. Candidate models will 
include an Emax model and a logistic model, where dose-response will be tested using dose 
levels of 0 (placebo), 1, 2, and 2.3 (corresponding to 0.8 mg, 4.8 mg, and 8 mg)17. The 
parameters used to determine the contrast for testing will include assumed placebo event 
rate 14% and maximum risk reduction of 4.2%. For the Emax model, the parameters used will be

estimates and 95% CIs for the relative risk reduction between each BMS-986141 arm and 
placebo. 
A single categorical variable based on study change points (length of treatment [28 or 90 days] 
and randomization phase [randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision]) 
will be included as a covariate.
A sensitivity analysis will include subjects who are randomized, treated, and with an evaluable 
MRI at Day 28, or an adjudicated symptomatic recurrent stroke by Day 28.
8.4.2.2
Secondary Efficacy Endpoint Analyses
Similar analysis methods will be used for the secondary endpoint incidence of MACE as for the 
primary endpoint.
A sequential testing approach will be used for the primary and MACE endpoints. Dose-response 
relationship for the primary endpoint will be tested first using a one-sided 0.15 type I error; if the 
p-value for this comparison is < 0.15, then the dose-response relationship for the same endpoint 
will be tested using a one-sided 0.025 type I error. If the p-value for this comparison is < 0.025, 
then the dose-response relationship for the MACE endpoint will be tested using a one-sided 
0.025 type I error.
Other secondary endpoints will use similar analysis methods as the primary and secondary 
endpoint of MACE.
8.4.2.3
Other Efficacy Analyses
Analysis of recurrent ischemic stroke and adjudicated arterial thrombotic events up to 90 days
will use similar analysis methods as the primary and secondary endpoint of MACE.
Analyses of exploratory biomarker data are included in Section 8.4.5, Biomarker Analyses.
8.4.3
Safety Analyses
For safety analyses, separate summaries taking into account length of treatment (28 or 90 days) 
and randomization phase (randomization prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision) 
will be provided.
The proportion of subjects with the composite of major bleeding and CRNM bleeding, and 
additional bleeding endpoints such as all bleeding events (including major bleeding, clinically 
relevant non-major bleeding and minor bleeding) and intracranial hemorrhage during the 
treatment period will be summarized by treatment. Point estimates and 95% CIs for event rates 
of each of above safety endpoints will be presented by treatment, together with point estimates 
and 95% CIs for the difference of event rates between each BMS-986141 arm and placebo. A 
single variable based on study change points (length of treatment [28 or 90 days] and 
randomization phase [randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision]) will 
be included as a stratum in the calculation of the CIs.

The number and percent of subjects with at least one adverse event will be summarized for each 
treatment group, including summaries of AEs, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and AEs of 
special interest. Summaries will include the number of subjects with events by specified system 
organ classes and preferred terms. All endpoint events reported by the investigator as AEs 
(serious or non-serious) will be reported in the safety analyses, regardless of whether the event 
was confirmed by adjudication. The number and percent of subjects with marked laboratory 
abnormalities will be similarly presented.
Values and changes from baseline at each scheduled time point for clinical laboratory 
parameters, vital signs, and ECG will be summarized by treatment group using descriptive 
statistics.
8.4.4
Pharmacokinetic Analyses
Pharmacokinetics of BMS-986141 and BMT-162856 will be explored. 
A population pharmacokinetic model will be developed to understand the pharmacokinetics of 
BMS-986141. The potential effect of covariates (eg, body weight, age, gender, race, renal 
function, liver function, co-administration of other medicine) on the pharmacokinetics of 
BMS-986141 will be also explored. These results will be reported separately.
8.4.5
Biomarker Analyses
Summary statistics will be tabulated for each available biomarker endpoint, including 
corresponding changes from baseline and/or percentage changes from baseline (where 
applicable) by treatment, and time point. Plots of means and standard errors over time and 
change from baseline (and/or percent change from baseline) for each available biomarker versus 
time may be provided. Relationships between exploratory biomarkers and BMS-986141 plasma 
concentrations may be explored. In addition, relationships between polymorphism in genes 
related to PAR4 activity (and/or disposition of BMS-986141) and exploratory biomarkers, 
PK parameters, or efficacy endpoints may be explored. Exploratory biomarker results may be

STUDY MANAGEMENT
9.1
Compliance
9.1.1
Compliance with the Protocol and Protocol Revisions
The investigator should not implement any deviation or change to the protocol without prior 
review and documented approval/favorable opinion of an amendment from the IRB/IEC (and if 
applicable, also by local health authority) except where necessary to eliminate an immediate 
hazard(s) to study subjects. 
If a deviation or change to a protocol is implemented to eliminate an immediate hazard(s) prior 
to obtaining relevant approval/favorable opinion(s) the deviation or change will be submitted as 
soon as possible to:

IRB/IEC 

Regulatory Authority(ies), if applicable by local regulations per national requirements
Documentation of approval/favorable opinion signed by the chairperson or designee of the 
IRB(s)/IEC(s) and if applicable, also by local health authority, must be sent to BMS.
If an amendment substantially alters the study design or increases the potential risk to the 
subject: (1) the consent form must be revised and submitted to the IRB(s)/IEC(s) for review and 
approval/favorable opinion; (2) the revised form must be used to obtain consent from subjects 
currently enrolled in the study if they are affected by the amendment; and (3) the new form must 
be used to obtain consent from new subjects prior to enrollment.
If the revision is done via an administrative letter, investigators must inform their IRB(s)/IEC(s).
9.1.2
Monitoring
BMS or designee representatives will review data centrally to identify potential issues to 
determine a schedule of on-site visits for targeted review of study records.
Representatives of BMS must be allowed to visit all study site locations periodically to assess the 
data quality and study integrity. On site they will review study records and directly compare 
them with source documents, discuss the conduct of the study with the investigator, and verify 
that the facilities remain acceptable.
In addition, the study may be evaluated by BMS or designee internal auditors and government 
inspectors who must be allowed access to CRFs, source documents, other study files, and study 
facilities. BMS audit reports will be kept confidential.
The investigator must notify BMS promptly of any inspections scheduled by regulatory 
authorities, and promptly forward copies of inspection reports to BMS or designee.

9.1.2.1
Source Documentation
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that the source data are accurate, legible, 
contemporaneous, original and attributable, whether the data are hand-written on paper or 
entered electronically. If source data are created (first entered), modified, maintained, archived, 
retrieved, or transmitted electronically via computerized systems (and/or any other kind of 
electronic devices) as part of regulated clinical trial activities, such systems must be compliant 
with all applicable laws and regulations governing use of electronic records and/or electronic 
signatures. Such systems may include, but are not limited to, electronic medical/health records 
(EMRs/EHRs), adverse event tracking/reporting, protocol required assessments, and/or drug 
accountability records).
When paper records from such systems are used in place of electronic format to perform 
regulated activities, such paper records should be certified copies. A certified copy consists of a 
copy of original information that has been verified, as indicated by a dated signature, as an exact 
copy having all of the same attributes and information as the original.
9.2
Records
9.2.1
Records Retention
The investigator (or head of study site in Japan) must retain all study records and source 
documents for the maximum period required by applicable regulations and guidelines, or 
institution procedures, or for the period specified by BMS or designee, whichever is longer. The 
investigator (or head of study site in Japan) must contact BMS or designee prior to destroying 
any records associated with the study.
BMS or designee will notify the investigator when the study records are no longer needed.
If the investigator withdraws from the study (eg, relocation, retirement), the records shall be 
transferred to a mutually agreed upon designee (eg, another investigator, study site, IRB). Notice 
of such transfer will be given in writing to BMS or designee.
9.2.2
Study Drug Records 
Records for IP, eg BMS-986141 or matching placebo, (whether supplied by BMS, its vendors, or 
the site) must substantiate IP integrity and traceability from receipt, preparation, administration, 
and through destruction or return. Records must be made available for review at the request of 
BMS/designee or a Health Authority.
For non-IP supplies, eg ASA, the investigator is not required to maintain records for 
substantiation of IP integrity and traceability from receipt, preparation, administration, and 
through destruction or return the non-investigational product. 
For ASA, subject level dispensation, administration and drug accountability records are required 
to ensure patient medication compliance.

Case Report Forms
An investigator is required to prepare and maintain adequate and accurate case histories designed 
to record all observations and other data pertinent to the investigation on each individual treated 
or entered as a control in the investigation. Data that are derived from source documents and 
reported on the CRF must be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies must be 
explained. Additional clinical information may be collected and analyzed in an effort to enhance 
understanding of product safety. CRFs may be requested for AEs and/or laboratory abnormalities 
that are reported or identified during the course of the study.
For sites using the Sponsor or designee electronic data capture tool, electronic CRFs will be 
prepared for all data collection fields except for fields specific to SAEs and pregnancy, which 
will be reported on the electronic SAE form and Pregnancy Surveillance form, respectively. If 
electronic SAE form is not available, a paper SAE form can be used. Spaces may be left blank 
only in those circumstances permitted by study-specific CRF completion guidelines provided by 
Sponsor or designee.

oophorectomy) and is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in 
a woman over age 45 years in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In 
addition, females under the age of 55 years must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone, 
(FSH) level > 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause.
*Females treated with hormone replacement therapy, (HRT) are likely to have artificially 
suppressed FSH levels and may require a washout period in order to obtain a physiologic 
FSH level. The duration of the washout period is a function of the type of HRT used. The 
duration of the washout period below are suggested guidelines and the investigators should use 
their judgement in checking serum FSH levels. 

1 week minimum for vaginal hormonal products (rings, creams, gels)

4 week minimum for transdermal products

8 week minimum for oral products
Other parenteral products may require washout periods as long as 6 months. If the serum 
FSH level is > 40 mIU/ml at any time during the washout period, the woman can be considered 
postmenopausal.
At a minimum, subjects must agree to use one highly effective OR one less effective method of 
contraception as listed below:
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE METHODS OF CONTRACEPTION
Highly effective methods of contraception have a failure rate of < 1% when used consistently 
and correctly. WOCBP and female partners of male subjects, who are WOCBP, are expected to 
use one of the highly effective methods of contraception listed below. Male subjects must inform 
their female partners who are WOCBP of the contraceptive requirements of the protocol and are 
expected to adhere to using contraception with their partner. Contraception methods are as 
follows:
1. Nonhormonal IUDs, such as ParaGard
2. Bilateral tubal occlusion
3. Vasectomised partner with documented azoospermia 90 days after procedure
a.
Vasectomised partner is a highly effective birth control method provided that 
partner is the sole sexual partner of the WOCBP trial participant and that the 
vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success.
4. Complete abstinence
a.
Complete abstinence is defined as the complete avoidance of heterosexual 
intercourse. (refer to Glossary of Terms)

b. Complete abstinence is an acceptable form of contraception for all study drugs 
and must be used throughout the duration of the study treatment (plus 5 half-lives 
of the investigational drug plus 30 days).
c.
It is not necessary to use any other method of contraception when complete 
abstinence is elected.
d. Subjects who choose complete abstinence must continue to have pregnancy tests.
e.
Acceptable alternate methods of highly effective contraception must be discussed 
in the event that the subject chooses to forego complete abstinence.
f.
The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the 
duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
LESS EFFECTIVE METHODS OF CONTRACEPTION
1. Diaphragm with spermicide
2. Cervical cap with spermicide
3. Vaginal sponge with spermicide
4. Male or female condom with or without spermicide*
* A male and a female condom must not be used together.
UNACCEPTABLE METHODS OF CONTRACEPTION
1. Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods)
2. Withdrawal (coitus interruptus)
3. Spermicide only
4. Lactation amenorrhea method (LAM)
Female partners of male subjects participating in the study may use hormone based 
contraceptives as one of the acceptable methods of contraception since they will not be receiving 
study drug.
Local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional contraception
methods.

Amendment Rationale:
The purpose of this amendment is to implement changes to several aspects of the study that are 
intended to further ensure the safety of subjects participating in the study. Changes to the 
protocol are being implemented before any subjects have been enrolled.
These changes are being made in response to recent data from a 90 day toxicology study in 
monkeys that showed moderate degeneration/regeneration of the tubular epithelium of the 
kidneys with pale eosinophilic material and multinucleated giant cells at 75 mg/kg/day 
(approximately 4 x the projected AUC in subjects at 16 mg QD). Full recovery of the renal 
pathology was evident after a 1-month post-dose evaluation. Refer to the BMS-986141 
Investigator Brochure, Version 3 for additional information.
This amendment modifies the study design to allow initiation of the study with subjects being 
randomized to placebo, 0.8, or 4.8 mg BMS-996141, with no subjects randomized to the top dose 
until after a DMC review of safety and laboratory data from the Day 28 study visit for at least 
10% of the planned total subjects. In addition, after this review the top dose will be 8 mg of 
BMS-986141 instead of 16 mg. Changes have also been made to exclusion criteria related to 
renal function and factors that may influence exposures to the drug, as well as to criteria that 
require discontinuation of subjects who are on treatment. Guidance around the use of CYP3A4 
inhibitors has been further clarified as the use of CYP3A4 substrates may increase 
concentrations of BMS-986141. In addition, the laboratory tests included in the study have been 
modified to include urinalysis at all treatment period visits and the assessment of renal 
biomarkers to more closely assess renal function of the study subjects. The statistical section and 
sample size calculations have been updated to correspond to these changes.
Additional changes include: expansion of time windows for PK sample collection to reduce 
challenges in collecting samples when subjects are randomized outside of routine working hours;
changing requirements for contraception to allow the use of one highly effective method of 
contraception or one less effective method of contraception to be consistent with BMS SOPs as 
BMS-986141 is currently considered unlikely to be a teratogen since BMS-986141 produced no 
developmental toxicity in rats and rabbits when dosed up the maximal feasible dose, 
150 mg/kg/day, in expanded range-finding studies; clarified that women enrolled in the study 
cannot use hormonal contraception as their sole means of contraception; added a statement in 
Appendix 1 that local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional 
contraception methods; added pregnancy test to be done at Day 90 in Part 2; clarified genotyping 
testing to include the types of genes that will be studied and the location and duration of sample 
storage; updated protocol to provide further clarifications to assist with study implementation 
and reflect recent changes in the BMS protocol model document template; corrected
typographical errors.
This protocol amendment applies to all subjects to be enrolled in the study.

Changes to the Protocol:
1. Synopsis, Investigational Product(s), Dose and Mode of Administration, Duration of 
Treatment with Investigational Product(s)
a) All treatments: removed approximate number of subjects per treatment arm
b) Treatment D: dose changed from 16 mg QD to 8 mg QD
2. Synopsis, Study Design
a) Removed the randomization ratio
b) Added text stating that initially randomization will be limited to the placebo and the two 
lower dose treatment groups (0.8 mg QD and 4.8 mg QD), randomization to the highest 
dose treatment arm (8 mg) will only be initiated after DMC review of safety data from the 
Day 28 study visit for at least 10% of the planned total subjects.
c) Study Schematic: 
i) Parts 1 and 2 - changed 16.0 mg dose group to 8.0 mg; added note that 8 mg dose group 
will only be initiated after DMC review of initial safety
ii) Part 1 - updated Day 28 to clarify this is end of treatment.
3. Synopsis, Study Assessments, Safety: Added text describing that initially randomization will 
be limited to the placebo and two dose lower treatment groups (0.8 mg QD and 4.8 mg QD) 
with no randomization to the 8 mg dose. Randomization to the 8 mg treatment arm will only 
be initiated after DMC review of safety data from at least 10% of the planned total subjects
that have completed their scheduled Day 28 visit. As a result of this review, the DMC can 
recommend expansion of the randomization to all 4 study arms or other modifications as 
needed to ensure subject safety.
4. Synopsis, Statistical Considerations, Sample Size: Updated paragraph to state that initially 
randomization will be limited to the placebo, 0.8 and 4.8 treatment groups until DMC review 
of the Day 28 safety data from the first 10% of subjects. Initially, the randomization will be 
in a 1:1:1 ratio. If the DMC recommends proceeding to the inclusion of the highest dose 
group the randomization ratio will then become 1:1:1:1. Changed the 16 mg dose group to 8 
mg.
5. Synopsis, Primary Efficacy Endpoint Analysis: update text of 3rd bullet to state that a single 
categorical variable based on study change points (length of treatment [28 or 90 days] and 
randomization phase [randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis decision]) 
will be included as a covariate.
6. Synopsis, Safety Analysis:
a) Added a new 1st bullet to state that for safety analyses, separate summaries taking into 
account length of treatment (28 or 90 days) and randomization phase will be provided.
b) Former 1st bullet, now 2nd bullet: added text at the end of the paragraph to state that a 
single categorical variable based on study change points (length of treatment [28 or 90 
days] and randomization phase [randomized prior to or after DMC safety interim analysis 
decision]) will be included as a stratum in the calculation of the CIs.
