Sutimlimab doses of 6.5 g (if ≥39 kg to <75 kg) or 7.5 g (if ≥75 kg) based on participant’s baseline body weight will be administered via IV infusion over ~60±5 minutes on Days 0, 7, and every other week 
thereafter during treatment period. Participants with underlying cardiopulmonary disease may receive a 2-hour infusion with Sponsor approval. If a participant misses a scheduled dose (outside of the 2-day window 
or >17 days since last dose), they must return to site (unscheduled visit) to receive another loading dose and then resume bi-weekly dosing schedule one week later. 
g Adverse events will be recorded from the time the participant provides signed informed consent through the safety follow-up period. 
h If participants switch to marketed drug, safety follow-up should be continued until the day of infusion of marketed drug or for 9 weeks, whichever comes first. In some cases, if the transition to marketed drug may 
occur without interruption in the every other week infusion schedule, this time period could be approximately 2 weeks.

INTRODUCTION  
CAD is a type of autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by IgM-induced complement classical 
pathway (CP) activation. The disease is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies called 
cold agglutinins that typically bind to the I antigen uniformly present on the surface of all red 
blood cells (RBCs). The autoantibodies bind in accordance to their thermal amplitude and results 
in agglutination of RBCs, resulting in symptoms such as acrocyanosis and Raynaud syndrome. 
2.1 
STUDY RATIONALE  
Currently, no approved treatment is available for CAD. Clinical studies have been performed to 
demonstrate the efficacy and safety of sutimlimab. This study intends to fulfil an unmet need 
while Sanofi is seeking regulatory approval of sutimlimab by providing treatment for the 
participants with CAD who have completed CARDINAL and CADENZA studies and shown to 
benefit with sutimlimab treatment in Japan. 
CARDINAL study 
CARDINAL Part A was the pivotal 26-week, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3 study designed to 
evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of sutimlimab in participants with CAD with 
hemoglobin levels ≤10.0 g/dL and a recent history of blood transfusion (defined as at least 1 
transfusion during the last 6 months prior to enrollment). CARDINAL Part B is running for 2 
years following Last Participant Out (LPO) under Part A to provide supportive data on durability 
of response and long-term safety and tolerability. 
CADENZA study 
CADENZA Part A was the pivotal 26-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 
3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sutimlimab in symptomatic participants 
with CAD who have hemoglobin levels ≤10.0 g/dL and who do not have a recent history of blood 
transfusion. CADENZA Part B is running for 1 year following LPO under Part A to provides 
supportive data on durability of response and long-term safety and tolerability. 
It is anticipated that participants could enter this study (LTS17352) immediately upon completion 
of the End of Study visit of CARDINAL and CADENZA studies Part B. 
2.2 
BACKGROUND  
Sutimlimab is an investigational humanized monoclonal IgG 4 serotype antibody (mAb) directed 
against human complement factor complement component 1 s subcomponent factor (C1s), a key 
subcomponent complex that along with complement component 1 r subcomponent (C1r) and 
complement component 1 q subcomponent (C1q) sits at the apex of the CP. By inhibiting C1s, 
BIVV009 prevents activation of the CP, thereby hypothesized to stop the mechanism by which 
hemolysis occurs in CAD.

A review of clinical experience with sutimlimab is in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB). 
2.3 
BENEFIT/RISK ASSESSMENT  
Considering the measures taken to minimize risk to the participant entering this study, the 
potential risks associated with treatment with sutimlimab are justified by the anticipated benefits 
that may be afforded to this participant. Therefore, only participants who demonstrated benefit 
and without major safety concern during treatment in Cardinal/Cadenza will be considered for 
participation.  
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably 
expected AEs of sutimlimab may be found in the IB and informed consent form (ICF).

STUDY DESIGN  
4.1 
OVERALL DESIGN  
This Japanese single treatment-group, multi-center study has an open label, repeated dose design. 
This study is intended to be in place until sutimlimab becomes commercially available in Japan, 
but Sanofi reserves the right to end this study at any time.  
The participants can withdraw from this study at any time for any reason. Participants who were 
withdrawn from the study for whatever reason may not re-enter this study. 
The participants may continue to receive sutimlimab until the earliest of: the participant’s own 
voluntary withdrawal; this study ending; commercial treatment with sutimlimab becoming 
available to participants in Japan, or other appropriate therapy for CAD becomes available; or 
determination by the participant’s physician that this treatment is no longer appropriate, or 
meeting any of the early termination criteria defined in Section 7.2.  
The Sponsor reserves the right to end the study at any time. 
4.2 
SCIENTIFIC RATIONALE FOR STUDY DESIGN  
Parts A of the CARDINAL and CADENZA studies have been performed to assess the efficacy 
and safety of sutimlimab, Parts B of the CARDINAL and CADENZA studies are ongoing. This 
study is open-label extension study following completion of CARDINAL or CADENZA.  
The objective of this study is to provide access to sutimlimab for the participants and to 
characterize the safety of sutimlimab. Sponsor will only enroll Japanese participants with CAD 
who have completed CARDINAL and CADENZA studies and shown to benefit with sutimlimab 
treatment. Therefore, the Sponsor will focus evaluation on safety outcomes (AE/SAE/AESI). 
Efficacy, pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and patient reported outcome assessments are not 
required/included. 
4.3 
JUSTIFICATION FOR DOSE

DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL  
7.1 
DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION  
Treatment may be discontinued temporarily or permanently. Any treatment discontinuation 
should be documented. 
7.1.1 Permanent discontinuation  
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue study 
intervention. If study intervention is permanently discontinued, the participant will be evaluated 
for safety. Such participants will not be eligible to re-enter the study. See the SoA for data to be 
collected at the time of discontinuation of study intervention and follow-up and for any further 
evaluations that need to be completed. 
Handling of participants after permanent intervention discontinuation 
Participants will be followed-up over the 9-week follow up period, or up to recovery or 
stabilization of any AE to be followed-up as specified in this protocol, whichever comes last. 
If possible, and after the permanent discontinuation of intervention, the participants will be 
assessed using the procedure normally planned for the last dosing day with the sutimlimab. 
All cases of permanent intervention discontinuation must be recorded by the Investigator in the 
appropriate pages of the CRF when considered as confirmed. 
7.1.2 Temporary discontinuation  
Temporary intervention discontinuation may be considered by the Investigator because of 
suspected AEs or disruption of the clinical trial due to a regional or national emergency declared 
by a governmental agency. For all temporary intervention discontinuations, duration should be 
recorded by the Investigator in the appropriate pages of the CRF.  
Temporary intervention discontinuation decided by the Investigator corresponds to more than 
1 dose not administered to the participant. 
In case of temporary discontinuation with dosing gap >17 days since last dose, participants must 
return to site (unscheduled visit) to receive another loading dose and then resume bi-weekly 
dosing schedule 1 week after the loading dose.

7.2 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL FROM THE STUDY  
• A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the Investigator for safety, behavioral, or 
compliance reasons. This is expected to be uncommon. 
• At the time of discontinuing from the study, if possible, an early discontinuation visit 
should be conducted, as shown in the SoA. See SoA for data to be collected at the time of 
study discontinuation and follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be 
completed. 
• If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the Sponsor may 
retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent. 
• Not demonstration of efficacy while on study considered by the investigator to be 
clinically meaningful.  
• Occurrence of AEs that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize participant 
safety or data integrity.  
• Occurrence of pregnancy in participant while receiving sutimlimab. 
• Intake of non-permitted concomitant medication or enrollment in another clinical study. 
• Diagnosis of SLE or immune complex mediated autoimmune disorders. 
• Once sutimlimab is available to participants commercially, or appropriate alternative 
therapy for CAD becomes available.  
 
If participants no longer wish to take the sutimlimab, they will be encouraged to complete the 9-
week post-treatment follow up period.    
The Investigators should discuss with them key visits to attend. The value of all their study data 
collected during their continued involvement will be emphasized as important to the public health 
value of the study. 
Participants who withdraw from the study intervention should be explicitly asked about the 
contribution of possible AEs to their decision, and any AE information elicited must be 
documented. 
All study withdrawals should be recorded by the Investigator in the appropriate screens of the 
CRF and in the participant’s medical records. In the medical record, at least the date of the 
withdrawal and the reason should be documented. 
In addition, a participant may withdraw his/her consent to stop participating in the study. 
Withdrawal of consent for intervention should be distinguished from withdrawal of consent for 
follow-up visits and from withdrawal of consent for non-participant contact follow-up, 
eg, medical record checks. The site should document any case of withdrawal of consent.

Participants who have withdrawn from this study cannot be treated in this study again. Their 
inclusion and intervention numbers must not be reused.  
7.3 
LOST TO FOLLOW UP  
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.  
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the study site for a required 
study visit: 
• The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon as 
possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit 
schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or should continue in 
the study. 
• Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the Investigator or designee must make 
every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, telephone calls and, if 
necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address or local 
equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the participant’s 
medical record. 
• Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES  
• Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA. Protocol waivers or 
exemptions are not allowed. 
• Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct. 
• All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The Investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable.  
• Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (eg, blood 
count, urine tests) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilized for screening or 
baseline purposes provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were 
performed within the time frame defined in the SoA. 
• Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues 
with the samples.

8.2.1 Physical examinations  
• A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the general 
appearance, head and neck, eyes and ears, nose and throat, chest, lungs, heart, abdomen, 
extremities and joints, lymph nodes, skin, and neurology systems. Height and weight will 
also be measured and recorded. 
• A brief physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the general 
appearance, chest, lungs, heart, abdomen, and skin. 
• Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious 
illnesses. 
8.2.2 Vital signs  
Oral temperature, respiratory rate, supine blood pressure, and pulse rate will be assessed. Vital 
signs will be measured after the participant has been supine for at least 5 minutes.

8.2.4 Clinical safety laboratory assessments  
• See Appendix 2 (Section 10.2) for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and 
to the SoA (Section 1.3) for the timing and frequency.  
• Safety laboratory tests will be performed at a local laboratory. A serum pregnancy test is 
required if any urine pregnancy test is positive.  
• The clinical laboratory data consist of analysis results, including hematology, clinical 
chemistry, and urinalysis.  
• Only clinically significant laboratory test abnormalities will be recorded as AEs in the 
CRF. 
8.2.5 Pregnancy testing  
If the participant is a woman of childbearing potential, a urine pregnancy test will be performed 
every 4 weeks from Day 21, up to 24 hours before the sutimlimab infusion. A serum pregnancy 
test is required if any urine pregnancy test is positive. 
8.3 
ADVERSE EVENTS (AES), SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS (SAES) AND OTHER 
SAFETY REPORTING  
The definitions of AEs and SAEs can be found in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3). The definition of 
AESI is provided in Section 8.3.6. 
AE will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the 
participant’s legally authorized representative).  
The Investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for following 
up all AEs OR AEs that are serious, considered related to the study intervention or study 
procedures, or that caused the participant to discontinue the study intervention (see Section 7).  
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the procedures 
for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3).  
8.3.1 Time period and frequency for collecting AE and SAE information  
All AEs (serious or nonserious) will be collected from the signing of the ICF until the follow-up 
visit at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
All SAEs and AESI will be recorded and reported to the Sponsor or designee immediately and 
under no circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3).

Page 29 
The Investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the Sponsor within 24 hours of it being 
available. 
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs after conclusion of 
the study participation. However, if the Investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any 
time after a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be 
reasonably related to the study intervention or study participation, the Investigator must promptly 
notify the Sponsor. 
8.3.2 Method of detecting AEs and SAEs  
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrences.  
8.3.3 Follow-up of AEs and SAEs  
After the initial AE/AESI/SAE report, the Investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. At the pre-specified study end-date, all SAEs, and AEs of 
special interest, will be followed until resolution, stabilization, the event is otherwise explained, or 
the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up 
procedures is provided in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3). 
8.3.4 Regulatory reporting requirements for SAEs  
• Prompt notification by the Investigator to the Sponsor of an SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety of 
a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.  
• The Sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The Sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and Investigators. 
• Serious adverse events that are considered expected will be specified in the reference 
safety information in the IB.  
• Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSARs) according to local regulatory requirements and Sponsor policy and 
forwarded to Investigators as necessary. 
• An Investigator who receives an Investigator safety report describing an SAE, SUSAR or 
any other specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the Sponsor 
will review and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements. It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to assess whether an 
event meets the criteria for a SUSAR, and therefore, is expedited to regulatory authorities.

8.3.5 Pregnancy  
• Details of all pregnancies in female participants and, if indicated, female partners of male 
participants will be collected after the start of study intervention and until time period for 
reporting pregnancies should align with the time period for post-intervention. 
• If a pregnancy is reported, the Investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to the Sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the female 
participant or female partner of male participant (after obtaining the necessary signed 
informed consent from the female partner pregnancy).  
• While pregnancy as such is considered as an AESI, any pregnancy complication or 
elective termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons will be reported as an AE or SAE.  
• Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, congenital 
anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs and will be reported as such. 
• The participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
Investigator will collect follow-up information on the participant and the neonate and the 
information will be forwarded to the Sponsor. 
• Any post-study pregnancy-related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the Investigator will be reported to the Sponsor as described in 
Section 8.3.4. While the Investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information in 
former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE through spontaneous reporting. 
• Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
discontinue study intervention or be withdrawn from the study. 
8.3.6 Adverse event of special interest   
An AESI is an AE (serious or nonserious) of scientific and medical concern specific to 
sutimlimab or this study, for which ongoing monitoring and immediate notification by the 
Investigator to Sanofi is required. Such events may require further investigation in order to 
characterize and understand them. Adverse events of special interest may be added, modified or 
removed during a study by protocol amendment. 
• Pregnancy of a female participant entered in a study as well as pregnancy occurring in a 
female partner of a male participant entered in a study with sutimlimab  
- 
Pregnancy occurring in a female participant entered in the clinical trial or in a female 
partner of a male participant entered in the clinical trial. It will be qualified as an SAE 
only if it fulfills one of the seriousness criteria (see Appendix 3 Section 10.3). 
- 
In the event of pregnancy in a female participant, sutimlimab should be discontinued.  
- 
Follow-up of the pregnancy in a female participant or in a female partner of a male 
participant is mandatory until the outcome has been determined. 
• Symptomatic overdose (serious or nonserious) with sutimlimab 
- 
A symptomatic overdose (accidental or intentional) with the sutimlimab is an event 
suspected by the Investigator or spontaneously notified by the participant (not based on

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION AND OPERATIONAL 
CONSIDERATIONS  
10.1 
APPENDIX 1: REGULATORY, ETHICAL, AND STUDY OVERSIGHT 
CONSIDERATIONS  
10.1.1 Regulatory and ethical considerations  
• This study will be conducted in accordance with the protocol and with the following: 
- 
Consensus ethical principles derived from international guidelines including the 
Declaration of Helsinki and the applicable amendments and Council for International 
Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) International Ethical Guidelines 
- 
Applicable ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines 
- 
Applicable laws and regulations (eg, data protection law as General Data Protection 
Regulation - GDPR) 
• The protocol, protocol amendments, ICF, IB and other relevant documents (eg, 
advertisements) must be submitted to an IRB/IEC by the Investigator and reviewed and 
approved by the IRB/IEC before the study is initiated.  
• Any amendments to the protocol will require IRB/IEC approval before implementation of 
changes made to the study design, except for changes necessary to eliminate an immediate 
hazard to study participants.  
• Protocols and any substantial amendments to the protocol will require health authority 
approval prior to initiation except for changes necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard 
to study participants. 
• The Investigator will be responsible for the following: 
- 
Providing written summaries of the status of the study to the IRB/IEC annually or 
more frequently in accordance with the requirements, policies, and procedures 
established by the IRB/IEC  
- 
Determining whether an incidental finding (as per Sanofi policy) should be returned to 
a participant and, if it meets the appropriate criteria, to ensure the finding is returned 
(an incidental finding is a previously undiagnosed medical condition that is discovered 
unintentionally and is unrelated to the aims of the study for which the tests are being 
performed). The following should be considered when determining the return of an 
incidental finding: 
- 
The return of such information to the study participant (and/or his/her designated 
healthcare professional, if so designated by the participant) is consistent with all 
applicable national, state, or regional laws and regulations in the country where the 
study is being conducted, and 
- 
The finding reveals a substantial risk of a serious health condition or has 
reproductive importance, AND has analytical validity, AND has clinical validity.

Property of the Sanofi group - strictly confidential 
Page 35 
- 
The participant in a clinical study has the right to opt out of being notified by the 
Investigator of such incidental findings. In the event that the participant has opted 
out of being notified and the finding has consequences for other individuals, eg, the 
finding relates to a communicable disease, Investigators should seek independent 
ethical advice before determining next steps. 
- 
In case the participant has decided to opt out, the Investigator must record in the 
site medical files that she/he does not want to know about such findings. 
- 
Notifying the IRB/IEC of SAEs or other significant safety findings as required by 
IRB/IEC procedures 
- 
Providing oversight of the conduct of the study at the study site and adherence to 
requirements of 21 CFR, ICH guidelines, the IRB/IEC, and all other applicable local 
regulations 
As applicable, according to Directive 2001/20/EC, the Sponsor will be responsible for obtaining 
approval from the Competent Authorities of the EU Member States and/or Ethics Committees, as 
appropriate, for any amendments to the clinical trial  that are deemed as “substantial” (ie, changes 
which are likely to have a significant impact on the safety or physical or mental integrity of the 
clinical trial participants or on the scientific value of the trial) prior to their implementation. 
10.1.2 Financial disclosure  
Investigators and sub-Investigators will provide the Sponsor with sufficient, accurate financial 
information as requested to allow the Sponsor to submit complete and accurate financial 
certification or disclosure statements to the appropriate regulatory authorities. Investigators are 
responsible for providing information on financial interests during the course of the study and for 
1 year after completion of the study. 
10.1.3 Informed consent process  
• The Investigator or his/her representative will explain the nature of the study to the 
participants or their legally authorized representative, and answer all questions regarding 
the study, including what happens to the participant when his/her participation ends (post-
trial access strategy for the study).  
• Participants must be informed that their participation is voluntary. Participants or their 
legally authorized representative will be required to sign a statement of informed consent 
that meets the requirements of 21 CFR 50, local regulations, ICH guidelines, Privacy and 
Data Protection requirements including those of the General Data Protection Regulation 
(GDPR) and of the French law, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act 
(HIPAA) requirements, where applicable, and the IRB/IEC or study center.  
• The medical record must include a statement that written informed consent was obtained 
before the participant was enrolled in the study and the date the written consent was 
obtained. The authorized person obtaining the informed consent must also sign the ICF. 
• In case of ICF amendment while the participants are still included in the study, they must 
be re-consented to the most current version of the ICF(s).Where participants are not in the 
VV-CLIN-0613758 1.0

study anymore, teams in charge of the amendment must define if those participants must 
or not re-consent or be informed of the amendment (eg, if the processing of personal data 
is modified, if the Sponsor changes, etc.). 
• A copy of the ICF(s) must be provided to the participant or their legally authorized 
representative, where applicable.  
Participants who are rescreened are required to sign a new ICF. 
10.1.4 Data protection  
All personal data collected and/or processed in relation to this study will be handled in 
compliance with all applicable Privacy & Data Protection laws and regulations, including the 
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The study Sponsor is the Sanofi company 
responsible for ensuring compliance with this matter, when processing data from any individual 
who may be included in the Sanofi databases, including Investigators, nurses, experts, service 
providers, IRB/IEC members, etc.  
When archiving or processing personal data pertaining to the Investigator and/or to the 
participants, the Sponsor takes all appropriate measures to safeguard and prevent access to this 
data by any unauthorized third party.  
Protection of participant data 
Data collected must be adequate, relevant and not excessive, in relation to the purposes for which 
they are collected. Each category of data must be properly justified and in line with the study 
objective.  
“Participant race and ethnicity will be collected in this study because they are expected to modify 
the drug response/because they are required by regulatory agencies (eg, on African American 
population for the FDA or on Japanese population for the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices 
Agency in Japan)”. They will not be collected in the countries where this is prohibited by local 
regulation. 
• Participants will be assigned a unique identifier by the Sponsor. Any participant records or 
datasets that are transferred to the Sponsor or its service providers will be identifiable only 
by the unique identifier; participant names or any information which would make the 
participant identifiable will not be transferred to the Sponsor.  
• The participant must be informed that his/her personal study-related data will be used by 
the Sponsor in accordance with applicable data protection laws. The level of disclosure 
must also be explained to the participant as described in the informed consent.  
• The participant must be informed that his/her medical records may be examined by 
Clinical Quality Assurance auditors or other authorized personnel appointed by the 
Sponsor, by appropriate IRB/IEC members, and by inspectors from regulatory authorities.  
• Participants must be informed that their study-related data will be used for the whole “drug 
development program”, ie, for this trial as well as for the following steps necessary for the 
VV-CLIN-0613758 1.0

development of the investigational product, including to support negotiations with payers 
and publication of results. 
Protection of data related to professionals involved in the study  
• Personal data (eg, contact details, affiliation(s) details, job title and related professional 
information, role in the study, professional resume, training records) are necessary to 
allow Sanofi to manage involvement in the study and/or the related contractual or pre-
contractual relationship. They may be communicated to any company of the Sanofi group 
(“Sanofi”) or to Sanofi service providers, where needed.  
• Personal data can be processed for other studies and projects. At any time, objection to 
processing can be made by contacting the Sanofi Data Protection Officer (link available at 
Sanofi.com).  
• In case of refusal to the processing of personal data by or on behalf of Sanofi, it will be 
impossible to involve the professionals in any Sanofi study. In case the professionals have 
already been involved in a Sanofi study, they will not be able to object to the processing of 
their personal data as long as they are required to be processed by applicable regulations. 
The same rule applies in case the professionals are listed on a regulatory agencies 
disqualification list.  
• Personal data can be communicated to the following recipients:  
- 
Personnel within Sanofi or partners or service providers involved in the study  
- 
Judicial, administrative and regulatory authorities, in order to comply with legal or 
regulatory requirements and/or to respond to specific requests or orders in the 
framework of judicial or administrative procedures. Contact details and identity may 
also be published on public websites in the interest of scientific research transparency 
• Personal data may be transferred towards entities located outside the Economic European 
Area, in countries where the legislation does not necessarily offer the same level of data 
protection or in countries not recognized by the European Commission as offering an 
adequate level of protection. Those transfers are safeguarded by Sanofi in accordance with 
the requirement of European law including, notably:  
- 
The standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for transfers towards 
our partners and service providers, 
- 
Sanofi’s Binding Corporate Rules for intra-group transfers.  
• Professionals have the possibility to lodge a complaint with Sanofi leading Supervisory 
Authority, the “Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés” (CNIL) or with 
any competent local regulatory authority.  
• Personal data of professionals will be retained by Sanofi for up to thirty (30) years, unless 
further retention is required by applicable regulations.  
• In order to facilitate the maintenance of Investigators personal data, especially if they 
contribute to studies sponsored by several pharmaceuticals companies, Sanofi participates 
in the Shared Investigator Platform (SIP) and in the Transcelerate Investigator Registry 
(IR) project (https://transceleratebiopharmainc.com/initiatives/investigator-registry/).

Therefore, personal data will be securely shared by Sanofi with other phamaceutical 
company members of the Transcelerate project. This sharing allows Investigators to keep 
their data up-to-date once for all across pharmaceutical companies participating in the 
project, with the right to object to the transfer of the data to the Transcelerate project.  
• Professionals have the right to request the access to and the rectification of their personal 
data, as well as their erasure (where applicable) by contacting the Sanofi Data Protection 
Officer: Sanofi DPO - 54 rue La Boétie - 75008 PARIS - France (to contact Sanofi by 
email, visit https://www.sanofi.com/en/our-responsibility/sanofi-global-privacy-
policy/contact).  
10.1.5 Dissemination of clinical study data  
Study participants 
Sanofi shares information about clinical trials and results on publicly accessible websites, based 
on company commitments, international and local legal and regulatory requirements, and other 
clinical trial disclosure commitments established by pharmaceutical industry associations. These 
websites include clinicaltrials.gov, EU clinicaltrialregister (eu.ctr), and sanofi.com, as well as 
some national registries.  
In addition, results from clinical trials in participants are required to be submitted to peer-
reviewed journals following internal company review for accuracy, fair balance and intellectual 
property. For those journals that request sharing of the analyzable data sets that are reported in the 
publication, interested researchers are directed to submit their request to 
clinicalstudydatarequest.com. 
Individual participant data and supporting clinical documents are available for request at 
clinicalstudydatarequest.com. While making information available we continue to protect the 
privacy of participants in our clinical trials.   Details on data sharing criteria and process for 
requesting access can be found at this web address: clinicalstudydatarequest.com.  
 
Professionals involved in the study or in the drug development program 
Sanofi may publicly disclose, and communicate to relevant authorities/institutions, the funding, 
including payments and transfers of value, direct or indirect, made to healthcare organizations and 
professionals and/or any direct or indirect advantages and/or any related information or document 
if required by applicable law, by regulation or by a code of conduct such as the “EFPIA Code on 
Disclosure of Transfers of Value from Pharmaceutical Companies to Healthcare Professionals and 
Healthcare Organisations”.  
10.1.6 Data quality assurance  
• All participant data relating to the study will be recorded on printed CRF unless 
transmitted to the Sponsor or designee electronically (eg, laboratory data). The

Investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries are accurate and correct by 
physically signing the CRF.  
• The Investigator must permit study-related monitoring, audits, IRB/IEC review, and 
regulatory agency inspections and provide direct access to source data documents.  
• The Sponsor or designee is responsible for the data management of this study including 
quality checking of the data. 
• The Sponsor assumes accountability for actions delegated to other individuals 
(eg, Contract Research Organizations). 
• Records and documents, including signed ICFs, pertaining to the conduct of this study 
must be retained by the Investigator for 25 years after the signature of the final study 
report unless local regulations or institutional policies require a longer retention period. No 
records may be destroyed during the retention period without the written approval of the 
Sponsor. No records may be transferred to another location or party without written 
notification to the Sponsor.  
10.1.7 Source documents  
• Source documents provide evidence for the existence of the participant and substantiate 
the integrity of the data collected. Source documents are filed at the Investigator’s site.  
• Data reported on the CRF that are transcribed from source documents must be consistent 
with the source documents or the discrepancies must be explained. The Investigator may 
need to request previous medical records or transfer records, depending on the study. Also, 
current medical records must be available. 
• The Investigator must maintain accurate documentation (source data) that supports the 
information entered in the CRF. 
• Study monitors will perform ongoing source data verification to confirm that data entered 
into the CRF by authorized site personnel are accurate, complete, and verifiable from 
source documents; that the safety and rights of participants are being protected; and that 
the study is being conducted in accordance with the currently approved protocol and any 
other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all applicable regulatory requirements.  
10.1.8 Study closure  
The Sponsor reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any time for any 
reason at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon study completion. A 
study site is considered closed when all required documents and study supplies have been 
collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed. 
The Investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable cause 
and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination.  
Reasons for study termination by the Sponsor, as well as reasons for the early closure of a study 
site by the Sponsor or Investigator may include but are not limited to:

- 
Discontinuation of further study intervention development 
• For site termination: 
- 
Failure of the Investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the 
IRB/IEC or local health authorities, the Sponsor’s procedures, or GCP guidelines 
If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the Sponsor shall promptly inform the 
Investigators, the IECs/IRBs, the regulatory authorities, and any contract research organization(s) 
used in the study of the reason for termination or suspension, as specified by the applicable 
regulatory requirements. The Investigator shall promptly inform the participant and should assure 
appropriate participant therapy and/or follow-up. 
10.1.9 Publication policy  
• The results of this study may be published or presented at scientific meetings. If this is 
foreseen, the Investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to the Sponsor 
before submission. This allows the Sponsor to protect proprietary information and to 
provide comments.  
• The Sponsor will comply with the requirements for publication of study results. In 
accordance with standard editorial and ethical practice, the Sponsor will generally support 
publication of multicenter studies only in their entirety and not as individual site data. In 
this case, a coordinating Investigator will be designated by mutual agreement.

APPENDIX 3: AES AND SAES: DEFINITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR RECORDING, 
EVALUATING, FOLLOW-UP, AND REPORTING  
10.3.1 Definition of AE  
AE definition 
• An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related 
to the study intervention.

Page 42 
• NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of study intervention. 
Events meeting the AE definition 
• Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or 
other safety assessments (eg, vital signs measurements), including those that worsen from 
baseline, considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the 
Investigator (ie, not related to progression of underlying disease),   
- 
Symptomatic and/or  
- 
Requiring either corrective treatment or consultation, and/or  
- 
Leading to sutimlimab discontinuation and/or  
- 
Fulfilling a seriousness criterion, and/or 
- 
Defined as an AESI 
• Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition.  
• New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even though 
it may have been present before the start of the study.  
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction.  
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication.  
Events NOT meeting the AE definition 
• Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
Investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition. 
• The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of the 
disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the participant’s 
condition.  
• Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that leads to 
the procedure is the AE. 
• Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
• Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present or 
detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.  
10.3.2 Definition of SAE  
An SAE is defined as any adverse event that, at any dose:

Property of the Sanofi group - strictly confidential 
Page 43 
a) Results in death 
b) Is life-threatening 
The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in which the 
participant 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. 
c) Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been admitted (usually 
involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation 
and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or 
outpatient setting. Complications that occur during hospitalization are AEs. If a 
complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is 
serious. When in doubt as to whether “hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE 
should be considered serious. 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE. 
d) Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
- 
The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions. 
- 
This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma (eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.  
e) Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
f) 
Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via an authorized medicinal 
product 
g) Other situations: 
- 
Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised by the Investigator in deciding 
whether SAE reporting is appropriate in other situations such as significant medical 
events that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These 
events should usually be considered serious.  
- 
Note: The following list of medically important events is intended to serve as a 
guideline for determining which condition has to be considered as a medically 
important event. The list is not intended to be exhaustive:  
- 
Intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for:  
o Allergic bronchospasm   
o Blood dyscrasias (ie, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, bone marrow 
aplasia, myelodysplasia, pancytopenia, etc) 
o Convulsions (seizures, epilepsy, epileptic fit, absence, etc).

10.3.3 Recording and follow-up of AE and/or SAE  
AE and SAE recording 
• When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the Investigator to review all 
documentation (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostics reports) 
related to the event. 
• The Investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information. 
• It is not acceptable for the Investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s medical 
records to the Sponsor’s representative in lieu of completion of the required form. 
• There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are requested by 
the Sponsor’s representative. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of 
the participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to the Sponsor’s representative. 
• The Investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not the 
individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
Assessment of intensity 
The Investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the 
study and assign it to 1 of the following categories: 
• Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal discomfort and 
not interfering with everyday activities. 
• Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort to interfere with normal everyday 
activities. 
• Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed as 
severe should not be confused with an SAE. “Severe” is a category used for rating the 
intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
An event is defined as “serious” when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes as described 
in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe.

• The Investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE. 
• A "reasonable possibility" of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, and/or 
arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than that a relationship cannot be ruled 
out. 
• The Investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
• Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other risk 
factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• The Investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment. 
• For each AE/SAE, the Investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she has 
reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the Investigator has minimal 
information to include in the initial report to Sanofi. However, it is very important that 
the Investigator always make an assessment of causality for every event before the 
initial transmission of the SAE data to Sanofi. 
• The Investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up information 
and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality assessment. 
• The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory reporting 
requirements. 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
• The Investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by the Sponsor’s 
representative to elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as 
possible. This may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological 
examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals. 
• If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up 
period, the Investigator will provide sponsor with a copy of any post-mortem findings 
including histopathology. 
• New or updated information will be recorded in the originally submitted documents. 
• The Investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the Sponsor within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information. 
10.3.4 Reporting of SAEs  
SAE reporting to the Sponsor via paper data collection tool 
• Facsimile transmission of the SAE paper data collection tool is the preferred method to 
transmit this information to the Sponsor’s representative.
