Section 4.6 
Rationale included in this section for the use of 
the weight-based dose regimen in pediatric 
subjects from Study 160325 who roll over into 
the current Study 42-1703. 
Population pharmacokinetic 
modeling has demonstrated that 
diazepam exposure following 
DBF (like Diastat rectal gel) is 
dependent on body size. For this 
reason, the DBF dose for 
subjects entering Study 42-1703 
from the Study 160325 
performed in pediatric subjects 
with epilepsy < 17 years and 
have received DBF as part of 
the Study 160325 will be 
determined using the weight- 
based dosing regimen employed 
in Study 160325. 
Subjects enrolled directly into 
Study 42-1703 and who are 
naive to DBF will be dosed 
according to the 42-1703 
protocol dose regimen (Table 4). 
After receiving their first dose 
of DBF, these subjects will be 
re-evaluated by the Investigator 
and, according to Investigator's 
judgment, may be moved to 
Table 5 for dose determination. 
Subjects already enrolled and 
dosed in Study 42-1703 
according to the 42-1703 
protocol dose regimen (Table 4) 
may be moved to Table 5 for 
dose determination after re- 
evaluation by the Investigator 
and, according to Investigator's 
judgment. 
Subjects who enter Study 
42-1703 from the pediatric 
Epilepsy Monitoring Unit Study 
160325 will be dosed according 
Section 6.1 
Sentence add to the description of overall study 
design: Study drug dosing is determined first 
according to age group and then by body weight 
within age group (Table 4) for subjects who 
entered into the present study 42-1703 never 
having received DBF as study drug before and 
Table 5 for rollover subjects from the pediatric 
EMU study 160325).

Final/Completion or Early Withdrawal Visit 
• 
For those subjects who have exceeded 6 
months on study with at least 3 uses of 
DBF, the subject may complete the study 
at the 6-month visit (Visit 5) per the 
protocol, or the subject may continue as 
described below.

Extension of Study Beyond Month 6 
The duration of treatment is being extended 
beyond 6 months under a similar schedule of 
visits. This policy is intended to continue for the 
period while the study remains open. 
At the discretion of the Principal Investigator 
and the subject, caregiver or guardian as 
applicable, a subject may continue in the study 
beyond the 6-month visit under a similar 
schedule of assessments, while the study is 
open. No Medical Monitor approval is required 
for subjects with 3 or more uses. The subject 
may continue in the study while the study 
remains open.

For subjects who continue beyond Month 6 
(Visit 5), subsequent visits will occur every 3 
months (± 14 days) while the study remains 
open. 
If a subject has not had 3 uses of DBF at the 6- 
month visit (Visit 5), or any visit after that, the 
Investigator should strongly consider the 
likelihood of the subject using DBF and whether 
the subject should continue in the study. The 
Investigator may consult with the Medical 
Monitor, if needed, to assess on a case-by-case 
basis the likelihood of achieving 3 uses of DBF 
by continuing the subject on study. If the 
assessment concludes that achieving 3 uses of 
study drug is likely, the subject’s participation 
can be extended with a similar schedule of 
assessments. If the assessment concludes that 
achieving 3 uses use of the study drug is not 
likely, the study will be considered complete for 
the subject. The sponsor may elect to end study 
  participation for non-users prior to end of study.

SYNOPSIS 
 
Title of Study 
An Open-Label, Safety and Tolerability Study of Chronic Intermittent 
Use of Diazepam Buccal Soluble Film (DBSF) in Pediatric, Adolescent, 
and Adult Subjects with Epilepsy 
Protocol Number 
42-1703 
Investigator/Study 
Sites 
Approximately 20 United States (US) study sites are projected 
Phase of 
Development 
3 
Objectives: 
Primary objective 
• 
To assess the safety and tolerability of DBF (study drug) 
administered a minimum of 3 times to subjects with epilepsy for 
the treatment of seizures over a minimum 6-month period. 
Secondary objectives 
• 
To evaluate the usability of study drug as assessed by the ability of 
caregivers/subjects to administer study drug based on the 
Instructions for Use (IFU) 
• 
To evaluate the Quality of Life (QoL) of the subjects during the 
study drug treatment period as assessed by use of age-appropriate 
epilepsy scales over a minimum 6-month period. 
Study Design 
This is a Phase 3 multicenter, open-label, long-term safety and 
tolerability study conducted in male and female pediatric (2 to 12 years 
old), adolescent (13 to 16 years old), and adult subjects (17 to 65 years 
old) with a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy who have bouts of increased 
seizure activity (e.g., Acute Repetitive Seizures [ARS], frequent 
breakthrough seizures, seizure clusters, or cluster seizures) and who are 
on chronic intermittent use of a rescue medication (e.g., Diastat® 
AcuDial™ or other benzodiazepine). 
Subjects who have completed the Phase 2 studies 160325 (Pediatric) or 
160326 (Adult) which enrolled subjects with a similar diagnosis may 
screen for enrollment into this Phase 3 study when they come in for the 
follow-up visit after the last treatment period in the Phase 2 study 
(rollover subjects). These rollover subjects will be screened for 
enrollment using inclusion/exclusion criteria of this protocol (42-1703). 
The Screening visit for the Phase 3 study can be conducted on the day 
of the follow-up visit for the Phase 2 study. 
Subjects who initially consented and enrolled in the study under version 
1 of the protocol dated 31 July 2017 may come in at their next 
scheduled site visit, reconsent under the amended protocol and be 
dispensed a new container of DBF based upon the revised mg/kg 
dosing. The subjects do not need to come in for unscheduled visit.

Screening: Screening for enrollment eligibility can occur within 1 to 28 
days prior to study entry. Before the performance of any study-related 
procedure, written informed consent will be obtained from the subject or 
subject’s legally authorized representative and oral and/or written assent 
will be obtained from the subject as required by the Institutional Review 
Board (IRB). 
As a part of screening, potential subjects and caregivers will be advised 
that electronic diaries will be used by subjects and/or caregivers to 
document seizures, use of study drug, adverse events (AEs), and 
changes in concomitant medication to determine their 
ability/willingness to comply with this procedure. 
Subjects may be re-screened during the study per Investigator judgment 
after consultation with and approval by the Medical Monitor. 
The last Screening Visit is 28 February 2020. 
The duration of the study per subject will be a minimum of 6 months:

Subjects who are ongoing on 28 February 2020, who are benefitting from the use of DBSF, and who would like to stay on 
study, will be allowed to continue until study end. 
Baseline Visit (Study Day 1)-Conducted after completion of 
screening and confirmation of eligibility for study enrollment-based 
compliance with protocol Inclusion and Exclusion criteria: The last 
Baseline Visit/Study Day 1 will occur no later than 06 March 2020. 
Training will be performed by the study team on study drug 
administration and the use of the electronic study diary. The training 
will be reinforced at all subsequent study visits/contacts. 
Study drug dosing will be administered away from the study site by the 
subject, with the assistance of a caregiver as appropriate. 
Administration and usability of study drug will be recorded at home in 
the electronic diary after each use of study drug. The electronic diary 
will also be used at home to capture seizure history and changes in 
health and medications. 
Subjects/caregivers will be instructed to call the site when the first 
seizure prompts study drug administration. A study site visit will occur 
within 14 days after this first use.

Site Visit Following the First Seizure Prompting Study Drug 
Administration: 
A study site visit will be conducted within 14 days after the first study 
drug dosing. 
The subject or caregiver (if needed) will document the seizure and study 
drug administration in the electronic study diary AND call the study site 
after the first use of study drug. 
Based on subject diagnosis and history (Inclusion Criteria), it is 
expected that subjects will have a minimum of 3 uses of the study drug 
within the 6 months treatment period. 
Telephone Contact at 1 Month and 2 Months After Study Day 1: 
The study site staff will telephone the subjects at approximately 1 and 2 
months ± 7 days after the baseline visit to check on the subject’s health 
and seizure status, reinforce training on study drug administration and 
diary documentation, determine if study drug was used, and to address 
concerns. 
Site Visit at 3 Months and 6 Months After Study Day 1: A study site 
visit will be conducted every 3 months ± 14 days over the minimum 6- 
month course of treatment. 
At the Month 3 visit, the subjects (and their caregivers as appropriate) 
will have a review of the number of study drug uses, study drug 
usability assessment, seizure-control status, use of the study diary, AEs, 
concomitant medications, and subject/caregiver training. Subjects will 
undergo assessment of oral mucosal health, gustatory assessment, vital 
signs, physical and neurological examination, collection of blood and 
urine samples for clinical laboratory testing, 12-lead ECG, age- 
appropriate Quality of Life (QoL) and Columbia Suicide Severity 
Rating Scale (C-SSRS) assessments. 
The QoL and C-SSRS should be completed in appropriately aged 
subjects. These assessments may be omitted as applicable if a subject's 
cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally complete the 
assessment. The site must document in the source documents the reason 
that these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to perform test 
due to incapacity, etc.). 
For all age groups, height and weight will be measured and body mass 
index (BMI; kg/m2) recorded. 
Urine and serum pregnancy testing will be performed at for female 
subjects of childbearing potential. If the subject is unable to provide a 
urine sample, the option to use only the serum pregnancy test will be at 
the Investigator's discretion. The reason that urine pregnancy screen 
could not be completed should be documented in the source documents 
and the Case Report Form.

Study Final/Completion/Early Withdrawal Visit. A Final Visit after 
the end of the study drug treatment period or early withdrawal will 
occur for the subject to undergo final study assessments, return unused 
study drug, and return the study diary. 
The last subject Study Completion Visit/Visit 5 is projected for 02 
September 2020. 
The subjects will have a review of AEs in relation to study drug 
treatment and severity, concomitant medication review, assessment of 
vital signs, body height and weight, physical and neurological status, 
C-SSRS assessment, 12-lead ECG, and assessments of tolerability, 
usability, and seizure-control status. The unused study drug will be 
returned, and study diary will be collected. 
Urine and serum pregnancy testing will be performed for female 
subjects of childbearing capacity. If the subject is unable to provide a 
urine sample, the option to use only the serum pregnancy test will be at 
the Investigator's discretion. 
Telephone contact 30-37 days after the Final Visit: For subjects 
completing the study at 6 months, the 6-month visit serves as the 
Final/Completion Visit. The Investigator or designee will conduct a 
follow-up phone call with the subject at 30-37 days after the Final Visit 
to check on subject status and collect AE information. 
Last Subject Last Telephone Contact: The last subject follow-up 
telephone contact will occur in October 2020. 
Selection of Subjects 
Approximately 120 subjects are expected to be screened in order to have 
a minimum of 100 eligible subjects (50 adult and 50 
pediatric/adolescent) enrolled. The enrollment should include at least 20 
subjects in the 6 to 11-year-old group and 20 subjects in the 12 to 
16-year-old group. 
Subjects may be re-screened during the study per Investigator judgment 
after consultation with and approval by the Medical Monitor. 
Inclusion Criteria: Subjects must meet all the following criteria in order 
to be included in the study: 
1. Female or male between 2 and 65 years of age, inclusive 
2. Written informed consent to participate in the study from the 
subject or subject’s legally authorized representative and oral 
and/or written assent will be obtained from the subject as required 
by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the performance 
of any study-related procedure 
3. Caregiver, if needed for subject, provides written informed 
consent and is able to administer study drug in the event of a 
seizure.

4. Subject has an established diagnosis of epilepsy with motor 
seizures with clear alteration of awareness, and while on a 
regimen of anti-epileptic medication(s), still experiences bouts of 
seizures (frequent break through seizures, e.g., ARS or seizure 
clusters) and who, in the opinion of the Investigator, may need 
benzodiazepine intervention for seizure control at least 1 time a 
month on average. Subject must be on at least 1 concomitant anti- 
epileptic drug (AED) at screening. 
The study is open to subjects who, in the opinion of the 
Investigator, would benefit from the study drug. Concomitant 
prescription for a benzodiazepine for rescue (including diazepam) 
at screening or ongoing, or concomitant use of a benzodiazepine 
ongoing as a part of the subject’s daily antiepileptic drug regimen 
does not exclude a subject from eligibility. Subjects are to be 
encouraged to use study drug when a benzodiazepine rescue 
treatment is needed. However, treatment decisions are to be 
guided in all cases according to the Investigator’s judgment as to 
the optimal treatment in the interest of the subject’s care and 
welfare. Participation in this study is never a basis for the 
withholding of any treatment considered to be indicated in the 
interest of the subject. 
5. Female subjects have negative serum and urine pregnancy test at 
screening.a Female subjects of childbearing potential (not 
surgically sterile or less than 2 years postmenopausal) must have 
a partner who is sterile, agrees to abstinence, be practicing double 
barrier contraception or using a Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA) approved contraceptive (e.g., licensed hormonal or barrier 
methods) for greater than 2 months prior to screening visit and 
commit to an acceptable form of birth control for the duration of 
the study and for 30 days after the study. 
a 
If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to 
use only the serum pregnancy test will be at the Investigator's 
discretion. 
6. No clinically significant abnormal findings on the ECG (QTcF 
[Fridericia's Correction Formula] ≤ 450 msec for males and QTcF 
≤ 470 msec for females). 
7. Subject and caregiver (if applicable) must be willing to comply 
with all study visits and all required study procedures (including 
the use of the electronic diary). NOTE: Nonverbal and cognitively 
impaired subjects are eligible to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria: Subjects meeting any of the following criteria are 
ineligible to participate in this study: 
1. A history of clinically significant gastrointestinal, 
renal/genitourinary, hepatic, hematologic, dermatologic, 
endocrine, oncologic, pulmonary, immunologic, psychiatric, or 
cardiovascular disease, or any other clinically significant 
abnormalities, such as physical examination, vital signs, 
laboratory tests or ECG at Screening or Baseline which in the 
opinion of the Investigator require further investigation or 
treatment or which may interfere with study procedures or safety 
or other medical conditions (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, 
gastrointestinal, psychiatric, renal disease) which are not 
adequately and stably controlled, or which in the opinion of the 
Investigator could affect the subject’s safety or interfere with the 
study assessments or any other condition which, in the opinion of 
the Investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject. 
2. Subject has had a significant traumatic injury, major surgery or 
open biopsy within 30 days prior to study screening. 
3. Subject has a recent history of suicide attempt (defined as an 
active, interrupted, or aborted attempt with the past five years) or 
reports suicidal ideation in the past six months as indicated by a 
positive response (“Yes”) to either Question 4 or Question 5 of 
the C-SSRS performed at the Screening Visit. . 
NOTE: If a subject cannot complete the assessment, the site must 
document this. 
4. A history of allergic or adverse responses to diazepam or any 
other benzodiazepine. 
5. Participation in another clinical trial other than Aquestive 
Therapeutics Phase 2 studies 160325 and 160326 within 30 days 
prior to screening. Participation in an observational (non- 
interventional) study is not an exclusion provided there are no 
scheduling conflicts with this study. 
6. Received any other investigational medication (unless it can be 
documented that the subject received only placebo) or device 
within 8 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before 
assignment to study drug treatment. 
7. Lactating female or positive urine and serum pregnancy test 
(β-hCG) at screening for female subjects ≥ 12 years of age.a 
a 
If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to 
use only the serum pregnancy test will be at the Investigator's 
discretion.

8.   In subjects 17 years of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years 
of age at the Investigator’s discretion), positive blood screen for 
human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen 
(HBsAg), hepatitis C, or a positive test result for drugs of abuse or 
alcohol, except marijuana use for medicinal indications. When 
marijuana is or was used for medicinal indications in the opinion 
of the Investigator, it is not considered as drug abuse and the 
subject can be enrolled in states where marijuana is legal, even if 
the marijuana metabolites are positive in the urine. NOTE: In 
such a case, the marijuana product will be recorded as a 
concomitant medication. 
Planned Sample Size: Approximately 120 subjects with epilepsy will be screened in order to 
have a minimum of 100 eligible subjects (50 adult and 50 
pediatric/adolescent) enrolled in the 6-month (24-week) study period. 
The enrollment should include at least 20 subjects in the 6 to 11-year- 
old group and 20 subjects in the 12 to 16-year-old group. 
Investigational 
Therapy: 
Study drug dosing is determined according to age group and body 
weight within age group during each study site visit where subjects are 
dispensed 5, 7.5, 10. 12.5, 15, or 17.5 mg study drug. 
Dosing occurs away from the study site by the subject or caregiver. 
Investigators can make dosing adjustments after the first administration 
and at subsequent visits. The Investigator may choose to adjust the dose 
upward or downward by 1 dose level depending on clinical response to 
study drug. 
For all age groups, the height and weight will be measured and recorded 
at all study visits. Subjects with body weights in the range 112 to 134 kg 
(247 to 295 pounds) may participate in the study at the discretion of the 
investigator. 
Treatment Duration: 
• Screening Period: A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 28 days prior 
to enrollment 
Subjects may be re-screened during the study per Investigator 
judgment after consultation with and approval by the Medical 
Monitor. 
• Baseline Visit/Study Day 1: Conducted after completion of screening. 
• Study Drug Treatment Period: Upon completion of the Baseline visit, 
the subject enters a 6-month minimum period of potential study drug 
treatment. 
− 
Study site visits occur every 3 months (± 14 days) after the 
Baseline Visit (Study Day 1/Visit 2) for a minimum of 6 months. 
− 
Subjects/caregivers will be instructed to call the site after the 
first seizure for which study drug is administered. A study site 
visit will occur within 14 days after this first use.

− 
The study site staff will telephone the subjects at approximately 
1 and again at 2 months after the date of the Baseline Visit 
(Study Day 1/Visit 2) to check on the subject’s health and 
seizure status, reinforce training on study drug administration 
and diary documentation, determine if study drug was used, and 
to address concerns. 
• Study Final/Completion/Early Withdrawal Visit: A Final Visit at 
Month 6 of the study drug treatment period or early withdrawal will 
occur for the subject to undergo final study assessments, return 
unused study drug, and return the study diary. 
If a subject has experienced 3 uses of study drug, study participation 
will be complete. For those subjects who have not experienced 3 uses 
of study drug, the Investigator and the Medical Monitor will assess 
on a case-by-case basis the likelihood of achieving 3 uses of study 
drug by continuing the subject on study for an additional 3 months. If 
the assessment concludes use of the study drug is not likely, the 
study will be considered complete for the subject. The sponsor may 
elect to end study participation for non-users prior to end of study. 
• For subjects completing the study at 6 months, the 6-month visit 
serves as the Final Visit. The Investigator or designee will conduct a 
follow-up phone call with the subject at 30-37 days after the Final 
Visit to check on subject status and collect any reporting information 
should any SAE have occurred. 
The Sponsor has elected to extend the duration of treatment beyond 6 
months under a similar schedule of visits. This policy is intended to 
continue for the period that the study remains open. 
Enrollment end-date is 06 March 2020. However, all ongoing subjects 
at the enrollment end-date who are benefitting from the use of DBF and 
would like to stay on study, will be allowed to do so until study end. 
Last subject/last contact telephone call is projected for 09 October 2020. 
Criteria for 
Evaluation: 
Safety Assessments: 
At each study visit, the following assessments will be completed: 
• Documentation and assessment of AEs over the time elapsed 
between visits (serious and non-serious to include time of onset and 
resolution, severity, relationship to study treatment) 
• Concomitant medications review 
• Vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate, oral 
temperature) 
• Body height and weight 
• Symptom-driven physical and neurological examination except at 
screening and baseline (Day 1) when a complete physical and 
neurological examination is required

• C-SSRS: if a subject cannot complete the questionnaire, the site must 
document this. 
• Clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, 
and urine and serum pregnancy tests for female subjects of 
childbearing potential) 
If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to use 
only the serum pregnancy test will be at the Investigator's discretion. 
If a protocol-required urine sample cannot be obtained from the subject 
(at any study visit), the site must document the reason why the urine 
sample could not be obtained from the subject (e.g., subject is 
incontinent, subject is incapable of supplying a urine sample on request, 
etc.) in the source documents and via the eCRF. Urine samples 
obtained using a urine collection bag are acceptable. Urine-soaked 
diapers, urine pads, etc. are not acceptable methods of obtaining a urine 
sample for this study. The Sponsor does not advocate use of a urinary 
catheter 
• Review of electronic diary which will capture the occurrence of 
seizures, use of study drug, usability assessment, study drug 
placement (left or right) for each seizure cluster treated, AE 
information, and any changes in medication. This information can be 
review directly in the subject’s electronic diary or via the Engage 
Portal database. 
Tolerability Assessments: 
At each study site visit: 
• Oral examination for assessment of oral mucosa 
• Gustatory sense assessment in subjects 12 years of age and older by 
trained Investigator or other trained site personnel using the labeled 
Magnitude Scale (gLMS) and commercially available test strips from 
Burghart Messtechnik 
• Age-appropriate QoL scales; 
PedsQL 3.0 Epilepsy Module PedsQL Parent Proxy Report (ages 2 to 
4 years); 
Peds QL 3.0 Epilepsy Module Parent Proxy Report (ages 5 to 7 
years) 
PedsQL 3.0 Epilepsy Module Parent Proxy Report (ages 8 to 10 
years) 
QOLIE-AD-48 Version 1 (ages 11 to 17 years) 
QOLIE-31-P Version 2 (18 years and older) 
Non-verbal and cognitively impaired subjects are eligible to 
participate in the study. If a subject cannot complete the assessment 
(ie, non-verbal subjects), the site must document this. 
The QoL and C-SSRS should be completed in appropriately aged 
subjects. These assessments may be omitted as applicable if a subject's 
cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally complete the 
assessment. The site must document in the source documents the reason

that these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to perform test 
due to incapacity, etc.). 
Administration and Usability Assessments 
At each study site visit, the study team will review the Usability 
Assessments documented in the electronic diary. 
• Review diary for documentation of study drug use 
− 
Handling and administration of study drug, based on the 
Instructions for Use 
− 
Successful buccal insertion of study drug 
o Successful placement and adherence of the study drug

Statistical Methods 
and Planned 
Analyses: 
All analyses will be descriptive, and no formal statistical testing will be 
performed. 
All summaries will be done for all subjects combined as well as by age 
group (pediatric, adolescent, adult). Pediatric and adolescent might be 
combined as one group for summary purpose. 
An interim analysis is planned to obtain a snapshot of targeted Tables, 
Figures, and Listings and summary of the preliminary safety 
information. 
The statistical evaluation will be performed using the Statistical 
Analysis Software (SAS®) Version 9.3 or higher (SAS Institute, Cary, 
NC). 
All data will be listed and summary tables provided. Summary statistics 
will be presented by age group and overall. For continuous variables, 
data will be summarized with number of subjects (n), mean, standard 
deviation (SD), median, minimum (min), and maximum (max). For 
categorical variables, data will be tabulated with the number and 
proportion (percentage) of subjects for each category.

INTRODUCTION 
4.1. 
Background on Treatment and Management of Individuals 
with Refractory Epilepsy 
Acute repetitive seizures (ARS) comprising breakthrough seizures, repetitive seizures, 
and seizure clusters occur in a significant number of epilepsy patients who are on 
established antiepileptic drug treatment. These types of seizures have distinguishable 
characteristics that are usually recognized by patients, caregivers, and physicians. 
Although patients typically recover between seizures, these seizures can last anywhere 
from minutes to hours.[1] When these seizures occur outside a hospital, the patient is 
often transported to an acute care facility for treatment to prevent prolonged seizures.[2] 
If treatment is not prompt and effective there is a risk that seizure activity will continue, 
and may become life threatening, including the risk of status epilepticus.[3,4,5] 
In these cases, the primary goals of the treatment are seizure cessation and prevention of 
seizure recurrence.[1] Usually, acute benzodiazepine treatment is effective for seizure 
control and often results in rapid seizure termination. Nevertheless, many treatment 
options rely on appropriate intervention by medical personnel, and treatment may be 
delayed while the patient is transported to a medical facility.[6] 
Outpatient treatment for these types of seizures may reduce emergency medical 
intervention, decrease seizure duration, prevent general deterioration due to the repeated 
seizures and improve the quality of life of these patients. While rectal diazepam gel is 
currently available in the United States (US), a portion of the population does not benefit 
from this treatment partly because the rectal route of administration is inappropriate or 
unacceptable.[7] Therefore, there is an unmet medical need for an effective treatment 
with a rapid onset of action that is easily administered in the outpatient setting. 
4.2. 
Diazepam 
Diazepam is a long-acting "classical" benzodiazepine that enhances the effect of 
γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the (GABA)-A receptor and demonstrates anticonvulsant 
properties. It is commonly used to treat a range of conditions including seizures, anxiety, 
alcohol withdrawal syndrome, benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome, muscle spasms, 
trouble sleeping, and restless legs syndrome.[8] It can be taken by mouth, inserted into 
the rectum, injected into muscle, or injected intravenously. When given intravenously, 
effects begin in one to five minutes. When diazepam is taken orally, effects may be 
delayed as long as 40 minutes.[9] 
Intravenous diazepam is a first-line treatment for status epilepticus.[9] Diazepam gel has 
been demonstrated superior to placebo gel in reducing the risk of continuing seizures. 
Diazepam is rarely used for the long-term treatment of epilepsy because tolerance to its 
anticonvulsant effects develops over time with continuous treatment.[9] However, 
diazepam is effective when used intermittently for the prevention of repeated seizures. 
Like other benzodiazepines, diazepam administration may cause sedation, anxiolysis, and 
amnesia.[9]

4.2.1. 
Mechanism of Action 
Although the precise mechanism by which diazepam exerts its anti-seizure effects is 
unknown, animal and in vitro studies suggest that diazepam acts to suppress seizures 
through an interaction with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors of the A-type 
(GABAA). GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, 
acts at this receptor to open the membrane channel allowing chloride ions to flow into 
neurons [10]. Entry of chloride ions causes an inhibitory potential that reduces the ability 
of neurons to depolarize to the threshold potential necessary to produce action potentials. 
Excessive depolarization of neurons is implicated in the generation and spread of 
seizures. It is believed that diazepam enhances the actions of GABA by causing GABA 
to bind more tightly to the GABAA receptor. 
4.2.2. 
Metabolism and Elimination 
Diazepam is extensively metabolized to one major active metabolite 
(desmethyldiazepam) and two minor active metabolites, 3-hydroxydiazepam 
(temazepam) and 3-hydroxy-N-diazepam (oxazepam) [11]. With steady state dosing, 
desmethyldiazepam is found in plasma at concentrations equivalent to those of diazepam 
while oxazepam and temazepam are not usually detectable. The metabolism of diazepam 
is primarily hepatic and involves demethylation (involving primarily CYP2C19 and 
CYP3A4) and 3 hydroxylation (involving primarily CYP3A4), followed by 
glucuronidation. The marked inter- individual variability in the clearance of diazepam 
reported in the literature is probably attributable to variability of CYP2C19 (which is 
known to exhibit genetic polymorphism; about 3-5% of Caucasians have little or no 
CYP2C19 activity and are “poor metabolizers”) and CYP3A4. No inhibition was 
demonstrated in the presence of inhibitors selective for CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, 
CYP2E1, or CYP1A2, indicating that these enzymes are not significantly involved in 
metabolism of diazepam [12]. 
 
4.2.3. 
Pharmacokinetics 
Per the prescribing information, rectal administration of a 15 mg dose of Diastat® 
AcuDial™ rectal gel produces peak plasma concentrations in 1.5 hours, with absolute 
bioavailability of 90% relative to Valium® injectable. The volume of distribution of 
diazepam rectal gel is calculated to be approximately 1 L/kg. The mean elimination half- 
life of diazepam and desmethyldiazepam following administration of a 15 mg dose of 
diazepam rectal gel was found to be about 46 hours (coefficient of variation [CV] = 43%) 
and 71 hours (Coefficient of Variation [CV] = 37%), respectively. Both diazepam and its 
major active metabolite desmethyldiazepam bind extensively to plasma proteins 
(95-98%). 
 
4.3. 
Diastat® AcuDial™ 
Although the Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel formulation is considered generally safe and 
effective, the route of administration is less than ideal. The mechanics of administering a 
rectal gel can be a difficult, time-consuming, and embarrassing experience for both 
patient and care-givers alike. For example, the patient or care-giver must first remove

articles of clothing and then place the patient in an appropriate position. The Diastat® 
AcuDial™ rectal gel syringe tip is inserted into the rectum to a specific depth and the gel 
expressed into the rectal vault. However, improper technique can lead to patient injury 
and leakage of gel from the rectum can result in incomplete dosing and the need for an 
additional dose to compensate for any loss. Additionally, the attitude of some patients 
toward a rectal route of drug administration is unfavorable which may negatively impact 
compliance to treatment.[13] Each of these factors has a potential influence on patient 
morbidity. Persistent seizure activity is associated with worse outcomes across a 
spectrum of precipitating conditions.[14,15] Further, it has been demonstrated that if 
seizures are not terminated quickly, escalating doses of benzodiazepines are required to 
achieve seizure cessation and seizures may become refractory to anticonvulsant 
therapy.[16] 
 
4.4. 
Diazepam Buccal Film (DBF) 
The new route of diazepam administration is via buccal soluble film. Buccal soluble 
diazepam may be particularly well-suited for administration in outpatient settings. The 
study drug is administered by placing the film against the inner aspect of the cheek, 
where it adheres, and allows for transbuccal absorption of diazepam. There is no need to 
position or disrobe the subject. Additionally, there is less potential for delay in treatment 
and greater subject and caregiver acceptance with improved compliance may be 
expected. 
The development of DBF will meet the treatment need for a form of diazepam that is 
effective, safe, allows for reliable dose administration, and is easier to administer than the 
rectal gel in a subset of epileptic subjects. Subjects, caregivers, and physicians have 
indicated that this type of product would be desirable for acute, intermittent treatment of 
breakthrough, repetitive or cluster seizures. The clinical trials with DBF have focused on 
assessing its relative bioavailability to the reference therapy, Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal 
gel, dose proportionality, assessment of food effect, and the pharmacokinetics in subjects 
with epilepsy. Overall safety and tolerability have been assessed in all clinical trials 
conducted with DBF. 
Aquestive Therapeutics initiated development of DBF, specifically intended for buccal 
delivery for subjects who require control of intermittent bouts of seizure activity. DBF 
contains the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved active ingredient diazepam, 
a benzodiazepine, as a treatment for the management of selected, refractory subjects with 
epilepsy, on stable regimens of antiepileptic drugs who require intermittent use of 
diazepam to control bouts of increased seizure activity. The study drug, with a planned 
dose range of 5 mg to 17.5 mg, is expected to achieve peak plasma concentrations of 
diazepam equivalent to the reference therapy, Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel. The DBF 
product is intended for submission as a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA) using 
Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel as the reference therapy. 
4.5. 
Background on Diazepam Buccal Film (DBF) 
Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel is prescribed for increased seizure activity as defined by a 
marked increase in seizure activity, sometimes heralded by non-convulsive symptoms

that are characteristic for each subject and deemed by the prescriber to be the kind of 
seizure for which a benzodiazepine would be administered (Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel 
Prescribing Information). Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel has been marketed in the US 
since 1997 and currently is the only FDA approved drug in the US for this indication. 
Though the Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel formulation is considered safe and effective, the 
route of administration is less than ideal. The mechanics of administering a rectal gel can 
be a difficult, time-consuming, and embarrassing experience for both subject and care- 
givers alike. For example, the subject or caregiver must first remove articles of clothing 
and then place the subject in an appropriate position. The Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel 
syringe tip is inserted into the rectum to a specific depth and the gel expressed into the 
rectal vault. However, improper technique can lead to subject injury, and leakage of gel 
from the rectum can result in incomplete dosing. Additionally, some subjects have a 
negative view of the rectal route of administration, and this may reduce compliance to 
treatment.[13] Each of these factors has a potential influence on subject morbidity. 
Persistent seizure activity is associated with less favorable outcomes across a spectrum of 
precipitating conditions.[14,15] Further, it has been demonstrated that if seizures are not 
terminated quickly, escalating doses of benzodiazepines are required to achieve seizure 
cessation and seizures may become refractory to anticonvulsant therapy.[15] 
The DBF is intended for application to the inner aspect of the cheek where it adheres, 
dissolves, and releases the drug into the buccal mucosa. Though buccal absorption is 
expected as the primary route of absorption of the drug, some absorption through 
gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be possible due to swallowing of the saliva. It is expected 
that that use of the buccal film will be similar to the use of Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel, 
i.e., the film would be administered after a seizure with characteristics for which the 
Reference Listed Drug (RLD) would be indicated. 
 
4.5.1. 
Nonclinical Studies 
Mechanism of Action: Although the precise mechanism by which diazepam exerts its 
anti-seizure effects is unknown, animal and in vitro studies suggest that diazepam acts to 
suppress seizures through an interaction with GABA receptors of the A-type (GABAA). 
GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, acts at this 
receptor to open the membrane channel allowing chloride ions to flow into neurons. 
Entry of chloride ions causes an inhibitory potential that reduces the ability of neurons to 
depolarize to the threshold potential necessary to produce action potentials. Excessive 
depolarization of neurons is implicated in the generation and spread of seizures. It is 
believed that diazepam enhances the actions of GABA by causing GABA to bind more 
tightly to the GABAA receptor. 
Metabolism and Elimination: It has been reported in the literature that diazepam is 
extensively metabolized to one major active metabolite (desmethyldiazepam) and two 
minor active metabolites, 3-hydroxydiazepam (temazepam) and 3-hydroxy-N-diazepam 
(oxazepam). With steady state dosing, desmethyldiazepam is found in plasma at 
concentrations equivalent to those of diazepam while oxazepam and temazepam are not 
usually detectable. The metabolism of diazepam is primarily hepatic and involves 
demethylation (involving primarily CYP2C19 and CYP3A4) and 3-hydroxylation

(involving primarily CYP3A4), followed by glucuronidation. The marked inter- 
individual variability in the clearance of diazepam reported in the literature is probably 
attributable to variability of CYP2C19 (which is known to exhibit genetic polymorphism; 
about 3-5% of Caucasians have little or no CYP2C19 activity and are “poor 
metabolizers”) and CYP3A4. No inhibition was demonstrated in the presence of 
inhibitors selective for CYP2A6, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, or CYP1A2, indicating 
that these enzymes are not significantly involved in metabolism of diazepam. 
 
4.5.2. 
Clinical Studies 
As of 18 July 2018, 6 DBF studies in healthy volunteers have been completed: two 
bioavailability/bioequivalence studies (Study numbers 1899 and 1900), a dose- 
proportionality study (Study number 162013), a fasting pivotal bioavailability study in 
comparison with Diastat® gel (Study number 162021) and two food effect studies (high 
and moderate fat) in healthy subjects (Study numbers 162022 and 172018). 
 
4.5.2.1. 
Safety in Clinical Studies 
It is anticipated that the adverse event (AE) profile from systemic exposure observed with 
study drug will resemble the already well-known profile for diazepam in general and the 
reference therapy, Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel, in particular. Diazepam rectal gel AE 
data were collected from double-blind, placebo-controlled studies and open label studies 
with 573 subjects exposed to diazepam rectal gel.[11] The majority of AEs were mild to 
moderate in severity and transient. The most frequent AE reported with diazepam rectal 
gel in the two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies was somnolence (23%). Less 
frequent AEs were headache (≤5%), diarrhea (≤4%), ataxia (≤3%), dizziness (≤3%), 
euphoria (≤3%), incoordination (≤3%), rash (≤3%), vasodilatation (≤2%), and asthma 
(≤2%). 
In the 6 completed DBF studies, there have been a total of 154 subjects enrolled and 132 
subjects (65.9% male, 34.1% female; age range 19-64) having received at least one dose 
of study drug. A total of 268 doses of DBF and 119 doses of Diastat® AcuDial™ were 
administered. 
Sixty-five percent of all administrations of DBF (n = 175) and 63.9% (n=78) of Diastat 
administrations were followed by one or more Treatment Emergent Adverse Events 
(TEAE). A total of 252 TEAEs were reported following administrations of DBF; the 
majority were mild (90.9%) or moderate (8.3%) in severity. 80.1% were deemed to be 
possibly or probably related to study drug. Of 103 TEAEs reported following Diastat 
doses, 98%were mild and 2% were moderate. 75.7% were possibly or probably related. 
There was 1 serious adverse event (SAE) reported and 2 TEAEs leading to 
discontinuation. There were no adverse events resulting in persistent impairment and 
there were no deaths reported. 
In all studies to date, somnolence followed by dizziness were the most frequently 
reported TEAE, consistent with the known pharmacologic action of diazepam. 
Somnolence has also been the most frequent AE reported for Diastat.

The frequency of AEs increased in a dose-related manner with DBF. An analysis of 138 
administrations of 15 or 20 mg in a fasted state showed no particular pattern of TEAEs 
according to Cmax or increase in frequency with an increase in Cmax. 
An increased frequency of AEs following dosing in a fasted state was observed in the two 
food effect studies. 
Overall, the administration of DBF was safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects 
following a single oral dose of 5mg through 20 mg under various conditions. Adverse 
events were primarily mild to moderate in severity, short-lasting and consistent with the 
known pharmacologic effects of diazepam. There were few SAEs reported and no events 
associated with death or lasting impairment were observed. 
 
4.5.2.2. 
Pharmacokinetics in Clinical Studies 
Pharmacokinetics: Per the prescribing information, 15 mg dose of Diastat® AcuDial™ 
rectal gel following rectal administration, produces peak plasma concentrations in 1.5 
hours, with absolute bioavailability of 90% relative to Valium® injectable. The volume 
of distribution of diazepam rectal gel is calculated to be approximately 1 L/kg. The mean 
elimination half-life of diazepam and desmethyldiazepam following administration of a 
15 mg dose of diazepam rectal gel was found to be about 46 hours, Coefficient of 
Variation (CV) =43% and 71 hours (CV=37%), respectively. Both diazepam and its 
major active metabolite desmethyldiazepam bind extensively to plasma proteins 
(95-98%). 
 
4.5.2.2.1. Pilot Studies 1899 and 1900 
The Sponsor conducted two randomized, open label, single-dose, fasting condition, 
crossover pilot studies in healthy male and female volunteers to assess the bioavailability 
of study drug in comparison to the same nominal dose of Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel. 
The planned enrolment was 12 subjects in both studies. 
Study 1899 compared study drug 5 mg to Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel 5 mg. Among 
the 11 subjects who completed both treatments, DMSF 5 mg was bioequivalent to 
Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel 5 mg with respect to area under the plasma concentration- 
time curve from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) to time t (the time of the 
last quantifiable concentration) [AUCt] and AUC extrapolated to infinity (AUC∞). This 
was evidenced by the 90% confidence interval (CI) for the ratio of geometric means was 
within the acceptable range of 80-125%. For the maximum observed plasma 
concentration (Cmax), the ratio of geometric means was 1.07 (90% CI: 87.1-131.5%). The 
median time to reach Cmax (Tmax) was 0.67 hours for DBF (range 0.33-1.50 hours) and 
0.25 hours for the Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel (range 0.15-1.00 hours). The difference 
in Tmax values was not statistically significant. 
Study 1900 compared DBF 20 mg to Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel 20 mg. Evaluable data 
from 10 subjects who completed both treatments showed that the extent of the absorption 
of DBF 20 mg was comparable to Diastat® AcuDial™ 20 mg rectal gel, with the ratio of 
geometric means for AUCt and AUC∞ within the acceptable range of 80-125%. For Cmax, 
the ratio of geometric means was 158.72% (90% CI 122.81-205.14). The median Tmax 
was 1.25 hours for the DBF (range 0.36-2.05 hours) and 1.00 hours for the Diastat®

AcuDial™ rectal gel (range 0.25-2.00 hours). The difference in Tmax values was not 
statistically significant. Examination of the mean plasma curves for DSBF and Diastat® 
AcuDial™ showed that although the Cmax was higher for the DSBF relative to Diastat® 
AcuDial™, the pharmacokinetics were comparable in terms of rapid rate of absorption, 
duration of plateau, and the rate of elimination. 
 
4.5.2.2.2. Study 162013 – Dose-Proportionality 
Study 162013 was a single-dose, randomized, open-label, three-period, six-sequence, 
crossover study conducted to assess dose-proportionality of DBF at doses of 5, 10, and 15 
mg. A total of 30 subjects were randomized and dosed in the study. Analysis of the 
pharmacokinetic data confirmed that DBF is dose-proportional over the dose range 5 mg 
to 15 mg (Table 1). The criteria for dose proportionality were met for diazepam since for 
both comparisons (A/B: DBF 5 mg/DBF 10 mg and C/B: DBF 15 mg/DBF 10 mg), the 
geometric mean 90% CI of the ratios of Least-Squares means from the analysis of 
variance (ANOVA) of the ln-transformed AUCt, AUC∞, and Cmax were within the 
acceptable range 80-125%.

4.5.2.2.3. Study 162021 – Pivotal Bioavailability Study 
This pivotal relative bioavailability study was a four-period, four-sequence randomized 
crossover in 36 healthy adult males and females. The four treatments were DBF 15 mg 
and three doses of Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel: 5 mg, 12.5 mg, and 20 mg. These 
Diastat® AcuDial™ doses span the approved dose range for the rectal gel. The objective 
of this study was to gain a thorough and precise understanding of the comparative 
exposure to diazepam and nordiazepam (both AUC and Cmax) after administration of 
DBF or Diastat® AcuDial™.

Pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUCt, and AUC∞) were compared pairwise. DBF 
15 mg with each of the three doses of the rectal gel (Table 2). The results suggest that the 
dose of DBF expected to match the diazepam Cmax following 20 mg Diastat® 
AcuDial™gel is lower than 12.5 mg (closer to 11 mg); the dose expected to match the 
diazepam Cmax following a 12.5 mg dose of Diastat® AcuDial™gel is lower than 9 mg; 
and the dose of DBF expected to match the diazepam Cmax following a 5 mg dose of 
Diastat® AcuDial™gel is lower than 5 mg (closer to 4 mg). Results demonstrate that AUC 
(both AUCt and AUC∞) are dose proportional following single doses for both DBF and 
for Diastat® AcuDial™gel over the studied dose. These results, normalized for dose in 
mg, suggest that the relative bioavailability of diazepam administered as DMSF 
compared with Diastat® AcuDial™ gel is 118% to 128%.

4.5.2.2.4. Food Effect Studies 
Aquestive Therapeutics conducted two food effect studies (Study 162022 in 
Section 4.5.2.2.4.1 and Study 172018 in Section 4.5.2.2.4.2 ). Results for a high fat meal 
were consistent across the two studies.

The food effect studies indicate that a high fat or moderate fat meal within 30 minutes 
prior to dosing of DBF has no effect on diazepam AUC but reduces diazepam Cmax on 
average of 45% and 33%, respectively. Bimodal peaks were observed under fed 
conditions due to the combination of oral transmucosal absorption and intestinal 
absorption of DBF. The first peak (mean concentration curves) for both high fat and 
moderate fat meals is observed at 45 minutes (mean of 199.04 ng/mL and 222.37 ng/mL, 
respectively) and the second peak of the mean concentration curves is observed at 3 hours 
(mean of 196.22 ng/mL and 261.79 ng/mL, respectively). 
4.5.2.2.4.1. Study 162022 
Study 162022 was a single-dose, open-label, two-period, randomized two-sequence 
crossover study with DBF 15 mg administered under fasted conditions and within 
30 minutes following a high-fat meal. The washout period between doses was 28 days. 
The study was conducted with 18 healthy male and female subjects aged 18 to 62 years, 
inclusive. AUCt and AUC∞ were not affected by food; however, Cmax after a high fat 
meal was approximately 55% of the fasting value, 90% CI 48.6% – 62.7% (ratio of 
geometric means). Median Tmax fasting was approximately 0.75 hour with range of 
0.25 hour to 2 hours whereas median Tmax after a high fat meal was 3.0 hours with range 
0.5 hour to 6.0 hours, p = 0.0008. 
 
4.5.2.2.4.2. Study 172018 
Study 172018 was a four-period, randomized four-sequence crossover study in 24 male 
and female adults with four treatments: (A) DBF 15 mg fasted, administered upright; (B) 
DBF 15 mg fasted, administered reclining; DBF 15 mg within 30 minutes following a 
standardized high-fat meal, administered reclining; and DBF 15 mg within 30 minutes of 
a standardized moderate-fat meal, administered reclining. 
The primary objective was to assess the effect of a moderate-fat meal on the diazepam 
PK profile. A secondary objective was to assess the effect of administration of DBF with 
the subject reclining on his/her side (application site downward) for 15 minutes after 
application. This was based on aligning treatment administration with the typical posture 
assumed by subjects in a postictal state and the Sponsor’s interest in investigating 
whether position affected diazepam PK following administration of DBF. 
Analysis comprised pairwise comparisons of Treatment C (high-fat meal, reclining) and 
Treatment D (moderate-fat meal, reclining) with Treatment B (fasting, reclining) as well 
as a comparison between Treatment B (fasting, reclining) with Treatment A (fasting, 
upright). 
Overall, AUCt and AUC∞ were not affected by either food or position. Cmax after the high 
fat meal (reclining) was approximately 53% of the fasting value (reclining), 90% CI: 
41.1% - 59.5% (ratio of geometric means). Cmax after the moderate fat meal (reclining) 
was approximately 67% of the fasting value (reclining), 90% CI 59.8% - 74.6% (ratio of 
geometric means). Comparison of Treatment B with Treatment A demonstrated that 
position in the fasting condition (reclining versus upright) had no meaningful effect on 
either Cmaxor AUC. Diazepam profiles (reclining versus upright) met bioequivalence 
criteria for the upright and fasting condition. There was no difference in Tmax, p = 0.4979.

Median Tmax fasting, upright was 1.00 hour with range 0.28 hour to 2.03 hours. Median 
Tmax fasting, reclining was 0.80 hour with range 0.50 hour to 2.03 hours whereas median 
Tmax after a high fat meal, reclining was 2.01 hours with range 0.50 hour to 4.06 hours 
(p = 0.0147 versus fasting, reclining). and median Tmax after a moderate fat meal, 
reclining was 3.00 hours with range 0.50 hour to 4.02 hours (p = 0.0005 versus fasting, 
reclining). 
4.6. 
Rationale for the Dose Regimen of Diazepam Buccal Film 
As described above, the data from Study 162013 and Study 162021 demonstrate that 
DBF is dose-proportional over the studied dose-range, while Diastat® AcuDial™ is less 
than dose-proportional with respect to Cmax. Also, as described above, the data from 
Study 162022 and Study 172018 demonstrate that food taken within 30 minutes prior to 
dosing affects the rate (but not the extent) of absorption of diazepam administered as 
DBF. Accordingly, Aquestive used population PK modeling to select a dosing regimen to 
compensate for the differences in PK between DBF and Diastat® AcuDial™ (Table 4; 
Section 8.1). 
Using data from Study 162013, Study 162021, and Study 172018, population PK 
modeling was used to model the PK profiles for DBF and Diastat® AcuDial™ under 
fasted and fed conditions (DBF). In brief, the recommended DBF dose for each weight 
class as defined in the Diastat® AcuDial™ label was selected (1) to provide a dose 
sufficiently high to ensure that the predicted median of the resulting diazepam Cmax 
following a moderate fat meal was similar to the median Cmax following the labeled dose 
of Diastat® AcuDial™, and (2) to provide a dose for which the predicted median of the 
resulting diazepam Cmax under fasting conditions would not exceed the median Cmax 
values observed and demonstrated as safe in Phase 1 studies with DBF. It was 
demonstrated that the predicted median diazepam Cmax values with the proposed regimen 
administered under fasting conditions did not meaningfully exceed the median Cmax 
values observed in the 115 healthy volunteers (adult men and women) who received DBF 
15 or 20 mg under fasting conditions in Phase 1 studies conducted Aquestive. The 
median Cmax among these 115 healthy subjects (138 DBF administrations) was 
486 ng/mL. Under conditions of a moderate fat meal, the proposed DBF dosing regimen 
produces a Cmax similar to the Cmax expected following the labeled dose of Diastat® 
AcuDial™. 
Population PK modeling using data from healthy adults demonstrated that diazepam 
exposure following DBF (like Diastat) is dependent on body size. In the adult population, 
it was demonstrated that a weight-based dose regimen based on modeling produced 
exposures that were uniform across weight classes and these exposures in higher weight 
subjects following a 17.5 mg dose were no higher than exposures observed in lower 
weight subjects following a 12.5 mg dose. Thus, the weight adjusted regimen is not 
expected to incur any additional safety risks related to Cmax. In fact, the weight-adjusted 
regimen increases the likelihood that subjects receive relatively consistent exposure to 
diazepam across weight categories. 
For this reason, the DBF dose for pediatric subjects entering the current study from study 
160325 and who have received diazepam administered as study drug in the past will be

determined using the regimen employed in study 160325 (Table 5).The proposed dosing 
regimen, under conditions of a moderate fat meal, is expected to produce Cmax values 
similar to the Cmax expected following the labeled dose of Diastat.

Clinical Risks/Benefits of Study Drug 
4.7.1. 
Managing Clinical Risks/Benefits in the Current Study 
The available data indicate that study drug is dose proportional over the studied dose- 
range, while Diastat® AcuDial™ is less than dose proportional with respect to Cmax. The 
data suggest that study drug and Diastat® AcuDial™ are approximately bioequivalent at 
the 5 mg dose, and that Cmax values for study drug exceed Cmax from Diastat® AcuDial™ 
as the dose increases beyond 5 mg. 
In this study, dose is based on age and weight category (Section 4.5.2.2 and Section 8.3). 
Note that subjects are to be weighed at screening and at each study visit, and dose 
dispensed will be adjusted depending on age and weight category at that visit 
(Section 8.3). Study drug dosing is determined first according to age group and then by 
body weight within age group. The Investigator may make adjustments as medically 
indicated. For all age groups, the height, weight, and body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) will 
be measured and recorded at all study visits. The rationale for the dose regimen for DBF 
is explained in Section 4.6. 
The subjects in this study will be administering study drug themselves or with the help of 
a caregiver, (trained by the study site staff in study drug administration and 
documentation) in the same setting as they typically use the diazepam rectal gel or other 
rescue medication, without the presence of study staff. The study design includes study 
site visits to monitor safety and tolerability, assess subject/caregiver use of study drug 
through review of subject/caregiver diaries, ensure adequate supply of study drug dose, 
and reinforce subject/caregiver training on the use of study drug, with a focus on safety 
and correct study conduct. Since the dosing is weight based, the subjects’ drug inventory 
will be reviewed at each study visit and reissued with the correct dosage, based on body 
weight. 
 
4.7.2. 
Overdosage Information Derived from Diastat® AcuDial™ Prescribing 
Information 
According to the prescribing information for Diastat® AcuDial™ rectal gel (December 
2016), previous reports of diazepam overdosage have shown that manifestations of 
diazepam overdosage include somnolence, confusion, coma, and diminished reflexes. 
Respiration, pulse, and blood pressure should be monitored, as in all cases of drug 
overdosage, although, in general, these effects have been minimal. General supportive 
measures should be employed, along with intravenous fluids, and an adequate airway 
maintained. Hypotension may be combated by the use of levarterenol or metaraminol. 
Dialysis is of limited value. 
Flumazenil, a specific benzodiazepine-receptor antagonist, is indicated for the complete 
or partial reversal of the sedative effects of benzodiazepines and may be used in 
situations when an overdose with a benzodiazepine is known or suspected. Prior to the

administration of flumazenil, necessary measures should be instituted to secure airway, 
ventilation, and intravenous access. Flumazenil is intended as an adjunct to, not as a 
substitute for, proper management of benzodiazepine overdose. Subjects treated with 
flumazenil should be monitored for re-sedation, respiratory depression and other residual 
benzodiazepine effects for an appropriate period after treatment. The prescriber should be 
aware of a risk of seizure in association with flumazenil treatment, particularly in long- 
term benzodiazepine users and in cyclic antidepressant overdose. Caution should be 
observed in use of flumazenil in epileptic subjects treated with benzodiazepines. The 
complete flumazenil package insert, including CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, 
and PRECAUTIONS, should be consulted prior to use.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
6.1. 
Description of Overall Study Design and Plan 
This Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, long-term safety and tolerability study of chronic, 
intermittent use of DBF (study drug). 
The study population will be male and female children (2 to 12 years old), adolescents 
(13 to 16 years old), and adults (17 to 65 years old) with a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy 
and with bouts of increased seizure activity, ARS, frequent breakthrough seizures, seizure 
clusters, or cluster seizures and who are on chronic, intermittent use of a rescue 
medication (e.g., Diastat® AcuDial™ or other benzodiazepine). 
It is expected that approximately 120 subjects (∼60 children and adolescents and ∼60 
adults) will be screened and approximately 100 subjects (50 children and adolescents and 
50 adults) are expected to enroll. The enrollment should include at least 20 subjects in the 
6- to 11-year-old group and 20 subjects in the 12- to 16-year-old group. 
Subjects who initially consented and enrolled in the study under version 1 of the protocol 
dated 31 July 2017 may come in at their next scheduled site visit, reconsent under the 
amended protocol and be dispensed a new container of DBF based upon the revised 
mg/kg dosing in Table 4. The subjects do not need to come in for unscheduled visit. 
In addition to direct enrollment of subjects from screening, subjects who have completed 
the Phase 2 clinical trials (Study 160325 [Pediatric] and Study 160326 [Adult]) may 
screen and enroll (i.e., rollover subjects) into this Phase 3 long-term safety study when 
they come for their follow-up visit in the Phase 2 study. Seizure diary used during the 
Phase 2 studies will be reviewed at screening for this rollover subjects. Rollover subjects 
will be assessed using Protocol 42-1703 inclusion/exclusion criteria. The Phase 3 study 
Screening visit can be done on the same day as the Phase 2 study follow-up visit. 
The duration of the study per subject will be a minimum of 6 months (Figure 1). Subject 
study visits will occur at Baseline, within 14 days after the first seizure prompting study 
drug administration, and approximately every 3 months (± 14 days) over the course of the 
study. All visits are calculated from the time of the Baseline Visit/Study Day 1. 
The planned end date for this study is 09 October 2020. Thus, the last screening visit is 
28 February 2020. 
The last Baseline Visit/Study Day 1 will occur no later than 06 March 2020. The last 
planned Study Completion Visit/Visit 5 will be 02 September 2020 and the last planned 
follow-up telephone contact will be completed by 09 October 2020. Subjects who are 
ongoing on 28 February 2020, who are benefitting from the use of DBF, and who would 
like to stay on study, will be allowed to continue until study end.

Subjects who are ongoing on 28 February 2020, who are benefitting from the use of DBSF, and who would like to stay on 
study, will be allowed to continue until study end. 
 
The study site visits will be conducted to assess protocol-defined safety variables 
(Section 5.2). 
Administration and usability of study drug will be recorded at home in the electronic 
diary after each use of study drug. The electronic diary will also be used at home to 
capture seizure history and changes in health and medications. 
The study drug dose will be tailored to the subject’s age and body weight, as described in 
Section 8.1, and adjusted throughout the study period if changes in body weight call for 
dose modification. For all age groups, the height and weight will be recorded at all study 
visits. Study drug dosing is determined first according to age group and then by body 
weight within age group. Subjects with weights in the range 112 to 134 kg (247 to 295 
pounds) may be allowed to participate in the study at the discretion of the Investigator. 
Table 4 provides the calculated prescribed DBF dose for DBF naive subjects (i.e., those 
who entered into the present study 42-1703 never having received DBF as study drug 
before). The Investigator is encouraged to use Table 5 for dose determination after 
subjects have received their first dose of DBF based on subject response to the study drug 
dose and the Investigator's judgment. Subjects already enrolled in the present study 42- 
1703 and dosed according to the guidelines in Table 4 can also be moved to dosing 
according to Table 5 after evaluation of subject response to the study drug dose and the 
Investigator's judgment. Table 5 will be used for dose-determination for subjects who 
enter the present study 42-1703 from the pediatric EMU study 160325 after Investigator 
review and evaluation of the subject's dose and response in the EMU study. 
Study drug will be administered away from the study site, by the subject or, if applicable. 
by a caregiver, both trained in study drug administration and documentation using the 
electronic diary. This is expected to be in the home most often but could also occur in a 
non-clinical environment outside of the home. The subject and/or caregiver will be: 
• able to recognize the occurrence of a qualifying event that for the individual 
subject is characteristic and is deemed by the investigator to be a kind for 
which benzodiazepine would ordinarily be administered acutely 
 
Within 14 days post

• trained by the study team to administer the study drug following the 
Instructions For Use (IFU; Appendix B) 
Investigators will be allowed to make adjustments to subjects’ anti-epileptic drug 
regimens throughout the study, with the aim to control seizures, and reduce increased 
bouts of seizure frequency, as will be expected in the general practice of medicine. 
Screening Period: The last Screening Visit is 28 February 2020. Screening for 
enrollment eligibility can occur within 1 to 28 days prior to study entry. Before the 
performance of any study-related procedure, written informed consent will be obtained 
from the subject or subject’s legally authorized representative and oral and/or written 
assent will be obtained from the subject as required by the Institutional Review Board 
(IRB). 
As a part of screening, potential subjects and caregivers will be advised that electronic 
diaries will be used by subjects and/or caregivers to document seizures, use of study drug, 
AEs, changes in concomitant medication to determine their ability/willingness to use the 
electronic diary during treatment. Training on the use of the diary will not be performed 
until the baseline visit. 
Subjects may be re-screened during the study per Investigator judgment after consultation 
with and approval by the Medical Monitor. 
Baseline Visit (Study Day 1) – conducted after completion of screening and 
confirmation of eligibility for study enrollment determined by compliance with protocol 
Inclusion (Section 7.1) and Exclusion (Section 7.2) criteria. During the baseline visit at 
the study site, the subjects will undergo baseline assessments and subjects/caregivers will 
receive training in study drug administration and use of electronic diary, and receive their 
study drug supply with documentation materials (IFU [Appendix B]). 
The last Baseline Visit/Study Day 1 will occur no later than 06 March 2020. 
Subjects/caregivers will be instructed to call the site when the first seizure prompts study 
drug administration. A study site visit will occur within 14 days after this first use. 
See Section 9.2.2 for the detailed list of procedures scheduled for Study Day 1. 
Treatment Period Clinical Site Visits: Upon completion of the Baseline visit, the 
subject enters a 6-month minimum period of study drug treatment with an expectation 
that the subject will use the study drug at least 3 times over the 6-month period. 
The study site visits will be conducted within 14 days after the first study drug dosing and 
then approximately every 3 months (± 14 days) after the Baseline Visit (Study Day 
1/Visit 2). 
See Section 9.2.3 for a detailed list of procedures scheduled for the site visit following 
the first seizure prompting study drug administration. 
Subjects will bring their diary and their supply of study drug to each study site visit. 
Subjects’ height and weight (without shoes and with empty pockets) will be obtained at 
each site visit for determination of study drug dose (Section 8). The subject diary will be 
reviewed, and subject/caregiver training will be reinforced (Section 9.2.2). Review of

study diary use will include the number of study drug uses, study drug usability 
assessment, seizure-control status, AEs, and concomitant medications. 
Subjects will undergo assessment of oral mucosal health, gustatory assessment, vital 
signs, physical and neurological examination, collection of blood and urine samples for 
clinical laboratory testing, 12-lead ECG, age-appropriate Quality of Life (QoL) and 
Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) assessments. 
The QoL and C-SSRS should be completed in appropriately aged subjects. These 
assessments may be omitted as applicable if a subject's cognitive status does not allow 
the subject to personally complete the assessment. The site must document in the source 
documents the reason that these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to 
perform test due to incapacity, etc.). 
See Section 9.2.3 for a detailed list of procedures scheduled for the planned visits during 
the treatment period. 
Scheduled Telephone Contact at 1 Month and 2 Months After Study Day 1: The 
study site staff will telephone the subjects at approximately 1 and 2 months ± 7 days after 
the baseline visit to check on the subject’s health and seizure status, determine if study 
drug was used reinforce training on study drug administration and diary documentation, 
and to address concerns. 
See Section 9.2.5 for a detailed list of procedures scheduled for the planned telephone 
contacts at Month 1 and Month 2. 
Final/Completion or Early Withdrawal Visit 
The last subject Study Completion Visit/Visit 5 is projected for 02 September 2020. 
• For those subjects who have exceeded 6 months on study with at least 3 uses 
of DBF, the subject may complete the study at the 6-month visit (Visit 5) per 
the protocol, or the subject may continue as described below. 
• For those subjects who have at least 6 months on study with less than 3 uses 
of DBF, the subject may complete the study at the 6-month visit (Visit 5) per 
the protocol, or the subject may continue as described below. 
Subjects who prematurely withdraw from the study for any reason should undergo a final 
visit as well. If the Early Withdrawal Visit is not done, the reason(s) will be recorded in 
the eCRF. Assessments/procedures performed at the final visit are the same as those 
performed during Treatment Period Clinical Site Visits. In addition: 
• Unused study drug will be returned, and the electronic study diary will be 
collected. For subjects completing the study at 6 months, the 6-month visit 
serves as the Final/Completion Visit. 
See Section 9.2.6 for a detailed list of procedures scheduled for the final study visit. 
Telephone contact 30-37 days after the Final/Completion Visit: 
The last subject follow-up telephone contact will occur in October 2020.

For subjects completing the study at 6 months, the Investigator or designee will conduct a 
follow-up phone call with the subject at 30-37 days after the Final Visit to check on 
subject status and collect reporting information, should any AE/serious adverse event 
(SAE) have occurred. 
See Section 9.2.7 for a detailed list of procedures scheduled for the telephone contact 
performed 30-37 days after the Final/Completion visit for subjects completing the 6- 
month visit. 
Extension of Study Beyond Month 6: 
The duration of treatment is being extended beyond 6 months under a similar schedule of 
visits. This policy is intended to continue for the period while the study remains open. 
At the discretion of the Principal Investigator and the subject, caregiver or guardian as 
applicable, a subject may continue in the study beyond the 6-month visit under a similar 
schedule of assessments, while the study is open. No Medical Monitor approval is 
required for subjects with 3 or more uses. The subject may continue in the study while 
the study remains open. 
In order to continue: 
• The subject is using the Investigational Product 
• The subject is receiving benefit from the Investigational Product 
• The subject is tolerating the Investigational Product 
• The subject wishes to continue in the study 
If a subject has had 3 or more uses of DBF, subjects may complete the study at the 6- 
month visit (Visit 5) per protocol or the subject may continue as described above. 
If a subject has not had 3 uses of DBF at the 6-month visit (Visit 5), or any visit after that, 
the Investigator should strongly consider the likelihood of the subject using DBF and 
whether the subject should continue in the study. The Investigator may consult with the 
Medical Monitor, if needed, to assess on a case-by-case basis the likelihood of achieving 
3 uses of DBF by continuing the subject on study. If the assessment concludes that 
achieving 3 uses of study drug is likely, the subject’s participation can be extended with a 
similar schedule of assessments. If the assessment concludes that achieving 3 uses use of 
the study drug is not likely, the study will be considered complete for the subject. 
 
6.2. 
Rationale for Study Design 
The subjects in this study will be administering study drug themselves or with the help of 
a caregiver (trained by study site staff in study drug administration and documentation) in 
the same setting as they typically use the diazepam rectal gel or other rescue mediation, 
without the presence of study staff. The study design includes study site visits to monitor 
safety and tolerability, assess subject/caregiver use of study drug through review of 
electronic diaries, ensure adequate supply of study drug dose, and reinforce 
subject/caregiver training on the use of study drug, with a focus on safety and correct 
study conduct. Since dosing is weight-based, the subject’s drug inventory will be

reviewed at each study visit and investigative product (IP) will be dispensed with the 
correct dosage, based on age and body weight.

7. 
SELECTION AND WITHDRAWAL OF SUBJECTS 
Male and female subjects with a clinical diagnosis of epilepsy with bouts of increase 
seizure activity (e.g., ARS, frequent breakthrough seizures, seizure clusters or cluster 
seizures) will be screened. Subjects may be re-screened during the study per Investigator 
judgment after consultation with and approval by the Medical Monitor. Approximately 
120 subjects are expected to be screened in order to have a minimum of 100 enrolled 
subjects (50 adult and 50 pediatric/adolescent subjects). The enrollment should include at 
least 20 subjects in the 6 to 11-year-old group and 20 subjects in the 12 to 16-year-old 
group. 
In addition to direct enrollment from screening, subjects who have completed the Phase 2 
clinical trials (Study 160325 [Pediatric] and Study 160326 [Adult]) may screen and enroll 
(i.e., rollover subjects) into this Phase 3 long-term safety study when they come for their 
follow-up visit in the Phase 2 study. Seizure diary used during the Phase 2 studies will be 
reviewed at screening for this rollover subjects. Rollover subjects will be assessed using 
Protocol 42-1703 inclusion/exclusion criteria. The Phase 3 study Screening visit can be 
done on the same day as the Phase 2 study follow-up visit. 
 
7.1. 
Inclusion Criteria 
Subjects must meet all the following criteria in order to be included in the study: 
1. Female or male between the ages of 2 and 65 years, inclusive 
2. Written informed consent to participate in the study from the subject or subject’s 
legally authorized representative and oral and/or written assent will be obtained 
from the subject as required by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) prior to the 
performance of any study-related procedure 
3. Caregiver, if needed for subject, provides written informed consent and is able to 
administer study drug in the event of a seizure 
4. Subject has an established diagnosis of epilepsy with motor seizures with clear 
alteration of awareness, and while on a regimen of anti-epileptic medication(s), still 
experiences bouts of seizures (frequent break through seizures, e.g., ARS or seizure 
clusters) and who, in the opinion of the Investigator, may need benzodiazepine 
intervention for seizure control at least 1 time a month on average. Subject must be 
on at least 1 concomitant anti-epileptic drug (AED) at screening. 
The study is open to subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, would benefit 
from use of study drug. Concomitant prescription for a benzodiazepine for rescue 
(including diazepam) at screening or ongoing, or concomitant use of a 
benzodiazepine ongoing as a part of the subject’s daily antiepileptic drug regimen 
does not exclude a subject from eligibility. Subjects are to be encouraged to use 
study drug when a benzodiazepine rescue treatment is needed. However, treatment 
decisions are to be guided in all cases according to the Investigator’s judgment as to 
the optimal treatment in the interest of the subject’s care and welfare. Participation 
in this study is never a basis for the withholding of any treatment considered to be 
indicated in the interest of the subject.

5. Female subjects have negative serum and urine pregnancy test at screening1. 
Female subjects of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or less than 2 years 
postmenopausal) must have a partner who is sterile, agrees to abstinence, be 
practicing double barrier contraception or using an FDA-approved contraceptive 
(e.g., licensed hormonal or barrier methods) for greater than 2 months prior to 
screening visit and commit to an acceptable form of birth control for the duration of 
the study and for 30 days after the final study visit. 
6. No clinically significant abnormal findings on the ECG (QTcF [Fridericia’s 
Correction Formula] ≤ 450 msec for males and QTcF ≤ 470 msec for females) 
7. Subject and caregiver (if applicable) must be willing to comply with all study visits 
and all required study procedures (including the use of electronic diary). NOTE: 
Non-verbal and cognitively impaired subjects are eligible to participate in the study. 
7.2. 
Exclusion Criteria 
Subjects meeting any of the following criteria are ineligible to participate in this study: 
1. A history of clinically significant gastrointestinal, renal/genitourinary, hepatic, 
hematologic, dermatologic, endocrine, oncologic, pulmonary, immunologic, 
psychiatric, or cardiovascular disease, or any other clinically significant 
abnormalities, such as physical examination, vital signs, laboratory tests or ECG at 
Screening or Baseline which in the opinion of the Investigator require further 
investigation or treatment or which may interfere with study procedures or safety or 
other medical conditions (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, 
renal disease) which are not adequately and stably controlled, or which in the 
opinion of the Investigator could affect the subject’s safety or interfere with the 
study assessments or any other condition which, in the opinion of the Investigator, 
would jeopardize the safety of the subject. 
2. Subject has had a significant traumatic injury, major surgery, or open biopsy within 
30 days prior to screening 
3. Subject has a recent history of suicide attempt (defined as an active, interrupted, or 
aborted attempt with the past five years) or reports suicidal ideation in the past six 
months as indicated by a positive response (“Yes”) to either Question 4 or Question 
5 of the C-SSRS performed at the Screening Visit. 
NOTE: If a subject cannot complete the assessment, the site must document this. 
4. A history of allergic or adverse responses to diazepam or any other benzodiazepine. 
5. Participation in another clinical trial other than Aquestive Therapeutics Phase 2 
studies 160325 and 160326 within 30 days prior to screening. Participation in an 
observational (non-interventional) study is not an exclusion provided there are no 
scheduling conflicts with this study. 
 
 
 
1 If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to use only serum pregnancy test will be 
according to Investigator judgment.

6. Received any other investigational medication (unless it can be documented that the 
subject received only placebo) or device within 8 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever 
is longer) before assignment to study drug treatment. 
7. Lactating female or positive urine and serum pregnancy test (β-hCG) at screening 
for female subjects of childbearing potential.1 
8. In subjects 17 years of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years of age at the 
Investigator’s discretion), positive blood screen for human immunodeficiency virus 
(HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C, or a positive test result for 
drugs of abuse or alcohol, except marijuana use for medicinal indications. When 
marijuana is or was used for medicinal indications in the opinion of the 
Investigator, it is not considered as drug abuse and the subject can be enrolled in 
states where marijuana is legal, even if the marijuana metabolites are positive in the 
urine. NOTE: In such a case, the marijuana product will be recorded as a 
concomitant medication. 
 
7.3. 
Withdrawal, Removal, and Replacement of Subjects 
A subject may voluntarily withdraw or be withdrawn from the study at any time for 
reasons including, but not limited to, the following: 
• progressive disease 
• unacceptable toxicity or AE 
• intercurrent illness: a condition, a condition, injury, or disease unrelated to the 
primary diagnosis that became apparent during treatment with study drug and

• general or specific changes in the subject's condition that renders him/her 
ineligible for further treatment with study drug according to the 
inclusion/exclusion criteria 
• subject or caregiver withdrawal of consent: At any time, a subject's 
participation in the study may terminate at his/her request or on the basis of 
the Investigator's clinical judgment. The reason for subject withdrawal will be 
noted on the electronic case report form (eCRF) 
• protocol deviation: The subject's findings or conduct failed to meet the 
protocol entry criteria or failed to adhere to the protocol requirements (e.g., 
drug noncompliance, failure to return for defined number of visits), and the 
deviation in the judgment of the Principal Investigator and/or the Sponsor 
warrants premature termination from the study. 
• lost to follow-up: The subject stopped coming for visits, and study personnel 
were unable to contact the subject. After two documented telephone contacts 
and a certified letter, the subject will be withdrawn as lost to follow-up.

This study may be terminated at the discretion of the Sponsor or any regulatory agency. 
An Investigator may elect to discontinue or stop the study at his or her site for any reason 
including safety or low enrollment. 
7.4. 
Follow-up for Drug Discontinuation/Subject Withdrawal from 
Study 
If a subject discontinues study treatment with study drug and is withdrawn from the study 
for any reason, the study site must promptly notify the clinical research associate (CRA). 
The date and the reason for study discontinuation must be recorded on the eCRF. 
Subjects who withdraw prematurely are to be scheduled and attend an Early Withdrawal 
Visit, if possible, and complete all assessments. 
In the event that a subject discontinues prematurely from the study due to a TEAE or 
serious TEAE, the TEAE or serious TEAE will be followed until it resolves (returns to 
normal or baseline values) or stabilizes, or until it is judged by the Investigator to be no 
longer clinically significant. 
Once a subject is withdrawn from the study, the subject may not re-enter the study.

The DBF dose will be determined according to age and weight category in a manner 
analogous to the Diastat® AcuDial™ label [11] (Table 4). The rationale for the dose 
regimen of the test product is provided in Section 4.5.2.2. 
The dose levels specified in Table 4 are intended as the starting dose for subjects who 
have not received diazepam administered as DBF in the past. The Investigator may 
choose to adjust the dose upward or downward by 1 dose level depending on clinical 
response to study drug. The Investigator is encouraged to use Table 5 for dose 
determination after subjects have received their first dose of DBF based on subject 
response to the study drug dose and the Investigator's judgment. 
Subjects who initially consented and enrolled in the study under version 1 of the protocol 
dated 31 July 2017 may come in at their next scheduled site visit, reconsent under the 
amended protocol and be dispensed a new container of DBF based upon the revised 
mg/kg dosing in Table 4. The subjects do not need to come in for unscheduled visit. . 
These subjects already enrolled in the present study 42-1703 and dosed according to the 
guidelines in Table 4 can also be moved to dosing according to Table 5 after evaluation 
of subject response to the study drug dose and the Investigator's judgment. 
For subjects entering this study after participating in the Pediatric EMU Study 160325, 
who have taken DBF in the past, the Investigator will begin dosing according to dosing 
regimen derived from population pharmacokinetic modeling provided in Table 5 after 
Investigator review and evaluation of the subject's dose and response in the EMU study. 
See also the rationale for the modified pediatric dose regimen for these subjects entering 
Study 42-1703 from Study 160325 in Section 4.6.

Controlled Substance Documentation 
The study drug DBF is designated as a Schedule IV controlled substance with abuse 
potential by the US Controlled Substances Act (21 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 
§1308). Because the study drug is a controlled substance, drug supplies at the study sites 
must be kept in a secure, double-locked, substantially constructed enclosure with 
restricted access. 
Prior to shipment of study drug to the study site, the Investigator must provide the 
Sponsor with a copy of a controlled substance license that clearly identifies the registrant

Diazepam Buccal Film 
Protocol Number 42-1703 
Amendment 2

and address of the registrant. Study drug supplies will be shipped to the registrant and 
address noted on the certificate. 
8.1.2. 
Description of Study Drug 
The study drug, DBF, contains the active ingredient diazepam incorporated into a 
polymer-based film matrix utilizing Aquestive Therapeutics PharmFilm® technology. 
For the purposes of this study, with a population ranging in age from 2 to 65 years, the 
investigational product will be provided at the following strengths: 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 
12.5 mg, 15 mg, and 17.5 mg. 
The film is intended for application to the inner aspect of the cheek where the film 
immediately adheres and begins to hydrate. During the hydration process, the drug, along 
with associated solubility enhancers, are rapidly released onto the buccal mucosa for 
dissolution and absorption. The study drug doses up to 20 mg were tested in a pilot 
clinical study (Study 1900). The inactive ingredient composition, the film dimensions, 
and the manufacturing process selected for study drug are based on the information 
gained from the development of the study drug and other film products produced by 
Aquestive Therapeutics (ZUPLENZ® 4 and 8 mg and SUBOXONE® 2 mg/0.5 mg, 4 
mg/1 mg, 8 mg/2 mg, and 12 mg/3mg Sublingual Films). The study drug is a green 
rectangular film. 
The primary package used for study drug is a polyester/foil laminate provided by Amcor 
Flexibles (Madison, WI). The material (product code RFE-013) is a multi-layer 
composite consisting of (1) a 12.2-micron layer of polyethylene phthalate, (2) a 
25.4-micron layer of low-density polyethylene, (3) an 8.9-micron layer of aluminum foil, 
and (4) a 38.1-micron layer of low-density polyethylene, and is heat sealed at the edges. 
Each pouch contains one study drug film. 
8.2. 
Labelling, Maintenance and Retention of Study Drug 
It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to ensure that all drug supplies provided for the 
study are manufactured under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and are 
suitable for human use. The Sponsor will supply an authorized clinical supplies vendor 
with a sufficient quantity of the study formulation(s) to allow completion of this study, 
including some spares for replacement drugs. The clinical supply vendor will ship the 
packaged and labeled study drugs for each participating investigator to the Pharmacy or 
Investigator at the address specified on the Drug Enforcement Agency Controlled 
Substance certificate. 
The study drugs will be sent to the Site Pharmacy already packed in individual unit-dose 
packages. Each unit-dose pouch will be labeled in English containing the Sponsor name 
(MonoSol Rx [now Aquestive Therapeutics])1, Protocol Number, Drug Name, Strength, 
Kit Identification Number, Subject Number, Lot Number, Route of Administration, 
Quantity of Dosage Units and a statement “Caution: New Drug – Limited by Federal Law 
to investigational use and the kit label will include at minimum Sponsor Name and 
Address, Drug Name, Strength, Quantity of Pouches, Route of Administration, Lot 
 
1 Some labels will retain the original name MonoSol Rx.

Number, Kit Identification Number, Protocol Number, Subject Number, Investigator 
Name, Directions for Use, Storage Conditions, and a statement ‘Keep out of reach of 
children’. 
Upon receipt of the study drugs, the Investigator, Pharmacist, or designee will inspect the 
shipment to ensure study drugs are received in good condition. Study drug receipt and 
condition will be promptly registered in the Interactive Web Response System (IWRS). 
The Investigator, Pharmacist, or designee will ensure records of receipt and dispensing of 
study drugs supplied are maintained for the duration of the study. 
The Investigator or designee will log into the IWRS to register the subject’s visit and 
have the study drug kit numbers assigned to the subject. Only these kits will be removed 
from inventory. At study visit 2 (Baseline visit) a starter kit containing 6 doses of one 
strength of study drug will be dispensed to each subject. 
At each subsequent study visit, a 3-month supply of study drug will be dispensed to each 
subject. Doses will be in individual labeled pouches inside a labeled container. Each 
container will hold either 15 or 23 pouches of the same dose of DBF. The decision of 
which quantity container is to be dispensed will be based on investigator estimation of 
whether or not the subject will need a 2nd dose of study drug for a seizure episode. Each 
subject will receive a new container with either 15 or 23 pouches at each visit. The 
subject should bring back the container with empty (used) and unused pouches at their 
next study visit. The container will not be re-dispensed. 
At the completion of the study, all unused study drug, will be retained by the Study Site 
until the authorization to return or destroy is received from the Sponsor. 
8.3. 
Dosage Schedule 
Dosing will occur away from the study site and administered by the subject or caregiver, 
if applicable. The dosing time will be triggered by occurrence of a qualifying event that 
for the individual subject is characteristic and is deemed by the prescriber to be of a kind 
for which a benzodiazepine would ordinarily be administered acutely. The subject and/or 
caregiver will administer the study drug as described in the IFU, see Appendix B. The 
actual date and time of film placement will be documented in the electronic diary by the 
subject or caregiver and in the eCRF by the study site staff during study visits. 
A second dose, when required, may be given within 4 to 12 hours after the first dose, as 
previously discussed between the investigator and subject/caregiver. No more than one 
episode every 5 days and no more than 5 episodes per month should be treated with study 
drug or with any other product containing diazepam (e.g., Diastat® AcuDial™) except as 
instructed by a physician. 
Based on subject diagnosis and history (Inclusion Criteria), it is expected that subjects 
will have a minimum of 3 uses of the study drug within the 6 months treatment period. 
If a subject has experienced 3 uses of study drug, study participation will be complete at 
Month 6. For those subjects who have not experienced 3 uses of study drug, the 
Investigator and the Medical Monitor will assess on a case-by-case basis the likelihood of 
achieving 3 uses of study drug by continuing the subject on study for an additional 3

months. If the assessment concludes use of the study drug is not likely, the study will be 
considered complete for the subject. The sponsor may elect to end study participation for 
non-users prior to end of study. 
8.4. 
Study Treatment Assignment 
Subjects will be assigned to treatment with study drug with the use of IWRS. There will 
be no subject randomization; however, each study drug kit will have a kit number which 
will be documented. The Investigator may adjust the study drug dose as medically 
appropriate, in accordance with guidelines provided in Section 8.1. 
8.5. 
Treatment Accountability and Compliance 
The pharmacist or other designated individual will maintain records of study treatment 
with study drug delivered to the study site, the inventory at the site, the distribution to and 
use by each subject, and the return of materials to the clinical supply vendor for storage 
or disposal. These records should include dates, quantities, batch/serial numbers, 
expiration dates, in clinic temperature log, and unique code numbers assigned to the 
product and study subjects. 
At each visit after initiation of treatment with study drug, site staff will record 
compliance of subjects with their assigned regimen. Subjects will be instructed to bring 
their diaries and study drug containers with unused/partially used/empty pouches back for 
inspection at each study visit. Subjects are to be reminded of the importance of 
compliance with their assigned regimen, with an emphasis on taking their study drug 
timed to occur during a qualifying seizure when it is safe to do so and maintaining the 
prescribed minimum interval between doses. 
Investigators will maintain records that document adequately that the subjects were 
provided with the correct study drug treatment kits and will reconcile the products 
received from the drug dispensing center. Study drug will not be returned to the clinical 
supplies vendor until accountability has been fully monitored. 
Unused medication must be returned at each visit, as compliance will be assessed by 
soluble film counts. Noncompliance is defined: 
• taking more than 2 doses for a single episode 
• treating a second episode in less than 5 days 
• treating more than 5 episodes per month 
• unaccounted for doses 
Discontinuation for noncompliance is at the Investigator’s discretion and is to be noted 
on the eCRF. 
Study drugs may be administered by a caregiver (including group home or school 
personnel) trained to assist with study drug administration.

Prior and Concomitant Illnesses and Medications 
8.6.1. 
Prior and Concomitant Illnesses 
Investigators should document all surgeries and prior significant illnesses that the subject 
has experienced prior to screening. Additional illnesses present at the time when 
informed consent is given and up to the time of first dosing are to be regarded as 
concomitant illnesses. Illnesses first occurring or detected during the study and/or 
worsening of a concomitant illness during the study are to be documented as AEs on the 
eCRF. For subjects completing the Aquestive Therapeutics Phase 2 studies, this 
information will be collected. 
 
8.6.2. 
Prior and Concomitant Medications 
All medications and other treatments taken by the subject during the study, including 
those treatments initiated prior to the start of the study, must be recorded on the eCRF. 
Medications taken by or administered to the subject for 30 days before screening will be 
recorded in the eCRF. After the baseline visit, concomitant medication will be reviewed 
on a case by case basis to determine further participation in the study. Any treatment or 
therapy that is taken by or administered to the subject during the course of the study must 
be recorded in the eCRF. The entry must include the dose, regimen, route, indication, and 
dates of use. 
Subjects who test positive for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at screening can continue with 
screening if the Principal Investigator is able to affirm that the use of a medical marijuana 
product is part of the subject’s treatment plan as recommended by a physician for 
treatment of a medical condition(s), and hence the marijuana product shall be recorded as 
a concomitant medication. This is applicable in states where medical marijuana use is 
legal.

STUDY PROCEDURES 
Table 6 outlines the timing of procedures and assessments to be performed throughout 
the study. All site visits and telephone contacts are calculated from the time of the 
Baseline Visit/Study Day 1 with the exception of the Final/Completion/Early Withdrawal 
Visit which is calculated from the time of the 6-month visit. 
See Section 11 for additional details of study procedures. 
NOTE: The schedule of procedures and assessments in this table assumes the subjects 
has experienced 3 uses of study drug over the minimum 6-month study period. For those 
subjects who have not experienced 3 uses of study drug, the Investigator and the Medical 
Monitor will assess on a case-by-case basis the likelihood of achieving 3 uses of study 
drug by continuing the subject on study for an additional 3 months. Thus, for these 
subjects who continue on study, the Day 180 (Month 6) visit would entail all procedures 
and assessments performed at the Day 90 (Month 3) visit including: 
• review training subject/caregiver on timing of study drug administration and use 
of electronic diary 
• review of study drug administration (IFU) 
• providing a new supply of study drug 
If the assessment concludes use of the study drug is not likely, the Sponsor may elect to 
end study participation for non-users prior to end of study

¶ Screening end date is 28 February 2020. 
† The last Baseline Visit/Study Day 1 will occur no later than 06 March 2020. 
# The last planned Study Completion Visit/Visit 5 will be in September 2020. 
ǂ The last subject telephone follow-up contact will occur in October 2020. The Sponsor has elected to extend the duration of treatment beyond 6 months under a similar 
schedule of visits. This policy is intended to continue for the period that the study remains open. See Section 6.1 Final/Completion or Early Withdrawal Visit for 
criteria and methods. 
¶¶ The QoL, C-SSRS, and Gustatory assessments should be completed in appropriately aged subjects. These assessments may be omitted as applicable if a 
subject's cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally complete the assessment. The site must document in the source documents the reason that 
these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to perform test due to incapacity, etc.).

††The Alcohol Breath Test should be completed according to the schedule of assessments in subjects 17 years of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years of age 
at the Investigator's discretion). If a subject cannot complete the assessment or, if in the judgment of the Investigator, the subject's exposure to alcohol is 
limited as determined by the medical history, incapacity, etc., the site must document in the source documents the reason that the assessment is not completed. 
If a subject cannot provide a urine sample for drug screen, the same policy applies. If a subject cannot provide a urine sample or, if in the judgment of the 
Investigator, the subject's exposure to drugs of abuse is limited as determined by the medical history, incapacity, etc., the site must document in the source 
documents the reason that the assessment is not completed. If the subject cannot provide a urine sample for routine analysis, the site must document in the 
source documents the reason that the assessment is not completed. Urine samples obtained using a urine collection bag are acceptable. Urine-soaked diapers, 
urine pads, etc. are not acceptable methods of obtaining a urine sample for this study. The Sponsor does not advocate use of a urinary catheter. 
a Screening evaluation is to be conducted for all direct enrolling subjects within 28 days before the baseline visit. Rollover subjects may consent and undergo 
screening during their final visit of their Phase 2 trial, thus eliminating an additional screening visit. Subjects may be re-screened during the study per 
Investigator judgment after consultation with and approval by the Medical Monitor. 
b The Baseline visit includes a battery of assessments, as well as training in study drug administration and documentation and supply of study drug and study 
logs. 
c Study site visits will be conducted at Baseline, within 14 days after the first study drug dose, and approximately every 3 months until completion 6 months or 
Discontinuation. The study site staff will telephone the subjects at approximately 1 and 2 months ± 7 days after baseline to check on status, reinforce training 
on study drug administration and diary documentation, and address any concerns. 
d Before the performance of any study-related procedure, written informed consent will be obtained from the subject or subject’s legally authorized 
representative and oral and/or written assent will be obtained from the subject as required by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). 
e Age, weight, height, gender, ethnicity and race at screening; Body weight and height will be measured at every site visit. Study drug dosage based on age and 
body weight. Duration of epilepsy history is documented. 
f Training of subject/caregiver (as applicable) on the use of the electronic diary; use of the diary will be reviewed at each visit/contact to ensure 
subjects/caregivers understand and are comfortable with using the electronic diary. 
g Review/record medical history. 
h Vital signs include body temperature, respiration rate, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements. All vital signs will be measured after the 
subject has been resting in a sitting position for at least 5 minutes. Blood pressure measurements are to be taken in the same arm (if possible) for the duration 
of the study. If a subject is unable to provide an oral temperature as they are unable to retain an oral thermometer in position with their mouth closed, a 
tympanic, axillary, or temporal (forehead) temperature may be taken. In this case, the method should be recorded in the source documents. 
i Body height and weight is obtained for all subjects at screening to document body mass index (kg/m2). Body weight (without shoes and with empty pockets) 
will be recorded whenever vital signs are recorded, and height (without shoes) will be recorded at all study site visits to calculate weight-based study drug 
dosage. 
j Complete physical examination: head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat (HEENT), heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, cervical and axillary lymph nodes, neurological and 
musculoskeletal systems. 
k Symptom-driven Physical and Neurological examinations will be conducted at the First/Day 1 visit, at the Final/Completion or Early Withdrawal visit, and as 
clinically indicated during the study. 
l C-SSRS; If a subject cannot complete the assessment, the site must document this. 
m Oral mucosal health assessment will be performed by the Investigator or trained Study nurse at all study site visits. In addition, any mucosal or tongue 
lacerations encountered during the study are recorded in the diary. 
n 12-lead ECG testing is performed at Screening, Baseline, and at all onsite visits including the Final Visit. When performed on days of blood draws, ECG 
should be completed prior to blood collection.

o Serum and/or urine pregnancy test for females of childbearing potential. If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to use only the serum 
pregnancy test will be at the Investigator's discretion. The reason that urine pregnancy testing could not be completed should be documented in the source 
documents and CRF. Females with positive pregnancy tests cannot be dosed. 
p Hematology testing includes Full and differential blood count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC morphology, mean corpuscular volume, platelet count, RBC 
count and WBC with differential. Albumin, ALT, AST ALP, BUN, creatinine, creatine kinase, Na, K, Cl, Ca, glucose, protein, total protein, total bilirubin, 
uric acid will be performed. For urinalysis, dipstick is acceptable. Microscopic analyses if clinically indicated. 
q Gustatory sense assessment will be administered to cognitively-appropriate subjects 12 years and older at all site visits. The general Labeled Magnitude Scale 
(gLMS) will remain as the evaluation scale for gustation (taste) testing; however, commercially available test strips from Burghart Messtechnik will replace 
the liquid taste solutions described as part of the NIH Toolbox Regional Taste Intensity Test. 
r Study drug will be self-administered or with the assistance of a caregiver, as applicable. The dosing is administered remote from the study site, usually in the 
home setting, according to the IFU (see Appendix B) 
s Quality of life will be assessed at all study site visits by age appropriate epilepsy scales (Section 11.4). If a subject cannot complete the assessment, the site 
must document this. 
t Use of an electronic diary will be reviewed with the subject/caregiver (as applicable) to determine their ability/willingness to use the electronic diary during 
treatment. 
u Adverse events should be recorded. At the screening visit, this applies only to rollover subjects from the Phase 2 studies. For all other subjects, adverse events 
observed/reported after provision of informed consent/assent are recorded. Subjects must be followed for AEs for 30 days after the last study drug treatment 
administration or until all drug related toxicities have resolved, whichever is later. 
v The study site staff will telephone the subjects at approximately 1 and 2 months ± 7 days after the baseline visit to check on the subject’s health and seizure 
status, reinforce training on study drug administration and diary documentation, and to address concerns. The investigator or designee will conduct a follow-up 
phone call with the subject at 30-37 days after the Final Visit to check on subject status and collect reporting information, should any SAE have occurred.

Subject Informed Consent 
Before the performance of any study-related procedure, written informed consent will be 
obtained from the subject or subject’s legally authorized representative and oral and/or 
written assent will be obtained from the subject as required by the IRB. 
Subjects who initially consented and enrolled in the study under version 1 of the protocol 
dated 31 July 2017 may come in at their next scheduled site visit, reconsent under the 
amended protocol and be dispensed a new container of DBF based upon the revised 
mg/kg dosing in Table 4. The subjects do not need to come in for unscheduled visit. 
9.2. 
Procedures by Study Visit or Period 
Assessments are to be performed as outlined in the following by-visit subsections. 
 
9.2.1. 
Screening 
The Screening visit (Visit 1) will occur within 1 to 28 days prior to Study Day 1. 
Subjects who have completed the Phase 2 studies 160325 (Pediatric) or 160326 (Adult) 
which enrolled subjects with a similar diagnosis may screen for enrollment into this 
Phase 3 study when they come in for the follow-up visit after the last treatment period in 
the Phase 2 study (rollover subjects). These rollover subjects will be assessed for 
enrollment using inclusion/exclusion criteria of this protocol (42-1703). In addition to the 
Follow-up clinical laboratory assessments for the Phase 2 studies, clinical laboratory 
screen for this Phase 3 study includes HIV, HBsAg, and hepatitis C in subjects 17 years 
of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years of age at the Investigator’s discretion). 
The following procedures will be performed: 
• Obtain written informed consent/assent (Section 9.1) 
• Record medical/medication history and demographic information based on the 
interview with the potential subject 
• For rollover subjects from the Phase 2 studies described above, AEs will be 
documented/assessed (Section 11.10). 
• Obtain vital signs (blood pressure [BP], heart rate [HR], respiratory rate [RR], 
oral temperature). All vital signs will be measured after the subject has been 
resting in a sitting position for at least 5 minutes. Blood pressure 
measurements are to be taken in the same arm (if possible) for the duration of 
the study. 
If a subject is unable to provide an oral temperature as they are unable to 
retain an oral thermometer in position with their mouth closed, a tympanic, 
axillary, or temporal (forehead) temperature may be taken. In this case, the 
method should be recorded in the source documents. 
• Obtain height and body weight (without shoes and with empty pockets) 
• Obtain a 12-lead ECG; ECG should be completed prior to any blood 
collection.

• Perform a complete physical and neurological examination, including 
examination of the oral cavity to verify there are no significant lesions, recent 
prophylactic procedures, mouth jewelry, dentures, braces, or piercings in the 
mouth or tongue that in the opinion of the Investigator would likely interfere 
with successful completion of the dosing procedure. 
• Advise potential subjects and caregivers that electronic diaries will be used by 
subjects and/or caregivers to document seizures, use of study drug, adverse 
events (AEs), changes in concomitant medication to determine their 
ability/willingness to comply with this procedure. 
• C-SSRS; Baseline Screening 
C-SSRS should be completed according to the schedule of assessments in 
appropriately aged subjects. These assessments may be omitted as applicable 
if a subject's cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally 
complete the assessment. The site must document in the source documents 
the reason that these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to 
perform test due to incapacity, etc.). 
• Quality of Life (QoL) assessment by use of age-appropriate epilepsy scales 
(Appendix C through Appendix G). If a subject cannot complete the 
assessment, the site must document this along with the reason. 
QoL assessment should be completed according to the schedule of 
assessments in appropriately aged subjects. These assessments may be 
omitted as applicable if a subject's cognitive status does not allow the subject 
to personally complete the assessment. The site must document in the source 
documents the reason that these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., 
unable to perform test due to incapacity, etc.). 
• Collect blood and urine samples for hematology, chemistry, urinalysis and 
screening for drugs of abuse. Perform breath alcohol test. Urine and serum 
pregnancy test in female subjects of childbearing potential. A complete listing 
of all tests to be performed is provided in Section 11.9. 
If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to use only the 
serum pregnancy test will be according to Investigator judgment. 
The Alcohol Breath Test should be completed according to the schedule of 
assessments in subjects 17 years of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years 
of age at the Investigator's discretion). If a subject cannot complete the 
assessment or, if in the judgment of the Investigator, the subject's exposure to 
alcohol is limited as determined by the medical history, incapacity, etc., the 
site must document in the source documents the reason that the assessment is 
not completed.

documents the reason that these assessments cannot be completed (e.g., 
unable to perform test due to incapacity, etc.). 
• Review and record AEs 
• A starter kit containing 6 doses of one strength of study drug will be dispensed 
to each subject. The DBF dose will be determined according to age and 
weight category in a manner analogous to the Diastat® AcuDial™ label [11] 
(Table 4). 
• Subjects/caregivers will be instructed to call the site when the first seizure 
prompts study drug administration. A study site visit will occur within 14 days 
after the first study drug dosing. 
• Training of subjects/caregivers on drug administration and documentation in 
the electronic diary ensuring that subjects/caregivers understand: 
1. The guidelines on when to use study drug 
2. How to store study drug and how to obtain additional study drug if 
needed before the next scheduled visit 
3. How to administer study drug including review of Instructions for Use 
(IFU)

questionnaires to the best of their recollection, if necessary. 
9.2.3. 
Treatment Period Clinical Site Visits 
Upon completion of the Baseline visit, the subject enters a 6-month minimum period of 
potential study drug treatment with an expectation that the subject will use the study drug 
at least 3 times over the 6-month period. Study site visits occur every 3 months (± 14 
days) after the Baseline Visit (Study Day 1/Visit 2) for a minimum of 6 months. 
The study visits will be conducted within 14 days after the first study drug dosing and 
then approximately every 3 months for a minimum of 6 months. The Sponsor has elected 
to extend the study beyond 6 months under a similar schedule of visits. The policy is 
intended to continue for the period while the study remains open. 
The following procedures will be performed at the study during the study drug treatment 
period. Additional details with frequency are listed in Table 6, Schedule of Assessments: 
• Review and record concomitant medications 
• Obtain vital signs (BP, HR, RR, oral temperature). All vital signs will be 
measured after the subject has been resting in a sitting position for at least 5 
minutes. Blood pressure measurements are to be taken in the same arm (if 
possible) for the duration of the study. 
If a subject is unable to provide an oral temperature as they are unable to

• Review subject/caregiver diary for drug administration and usability and 
provide training as described in Section 9.2.1. 
• Dispense a new 3-month supply of study drug based on body weight and 
supportive documentation as needed. NOTE: where there is an overlap in age 
and weight criteria, the age-adjustment takes precedence (Table 4). 
Investigator may make adjustments as medically indicated (Section 8.1). 
• Review and record AEs 
9.2.4. 
Treatment Period (Remote Study Drug Administration) 
The study drug Treatment Period is for a minimum of 6 months after baseline (Day 1). 
The subjects will administer the study drug as needed with help of their caregiver, if 
applicable, to treat their recurring seizures as they would have with Diastat® AcuDial™, 
or other prescribed benzodiazepine. The subject or caregiver will document all 
procedures as trained (Section 9.2.2). Subjects and/or caregivers will perform the 
following: 
• Monitor and record seizures, using seizure calendar in electronic diary 
• Dose with study drug and record use in electronic diary 
• Complete diary documentation as instructed at the Baseline/Day 1 visit 
(Section 9.2.2) 
• Record any AEs in the electronic diary 
• Record any changes in concomitant medication in the electronic diary 
• Store study drug in a safe place with limited access (Section 0) 
• Bring unused study drug, empty pouches, and electronic diary to all study site 
visits 
9.2.4.1. 
Food and Fluid Intake 
Food and water will be allowed ad libitum at all times, except during the study drug 
application. Per dosing instructions, the subject should refrain from eating or drinking 
during study drug dosing until full dissolution of study drug has been confirmed by visual 
inspection. 
9.2.4.2. 
Dosing 
Dosing will occur away from the study site. The subject or caregiver will administer the 
study drug as described in the IFU. The actual time of study drug film placement will be 
documented in the study diary. 
A second dose, when required, may be given within 4 to 12 hours after the first dose, as 
previously discussed between the investigator and subject/caregiver. No more than 5

episodes per month or one episode every 5 days should be treated with study drug or with 
any other product containing diazepam (e.g., Diastat® AcuDial™) except as instructed by a 
physician. 
The DBF dose will be determined according to age and weight category in a manner 
analogous to the Diastat® AcuDial™ label [11] (Table 4). The rationale for the dose 
regimen of the test product is provided in Section 4.5.2.2. 
The adjustment of study drug dose by body weight and dispensing of study drug is done 
at each study visit with use of IWRS assigning the appropriate kit number. Where there is 
overlap in body weight with age, the age-adjustment takes precedence. The Investigator 
may also make adjustments as medically indicated. 
 
9.2.5. 
Treatment Period Scheduled Telephone Contact with Subjects 
Study site staff will telephone subjects approximately 1 and 2 months ± 7 days after the 
Baseline Visit (Study Day 1/Visit 2) to query the subject/caregiver regarding study drug 
administration, diary use, seizures, AEs, changes in concomitant medication, to reinforce 
training, and to address concerns. 
If subject has had qualifying seizures for which study drug was not taken, the site should 
determine if the subject chose to use a different rescue (eg, Diastat ® in lieu of study drug 
and the reasons why and brought back in for a study visit). The site should discuss with 
the medical monitor the appropriateness of the subject’s inclusion in the study. 
If the subject has not had any qualifying seizures within this timeframe, the site should 
discuss with the Medical Monitor the appropriateness of the subject’s inclusion in the 
study. 
9.2.6. 
Final / Completion or Early Withdrawal Visit 
The 6-month visit will serve as the study Final/Completion site visit . The Sponsor has 
elected to extend the study beyond 6 months under a similar schedule of visits. 
The last subject Final/Completion Visit is projected for September 2020. 
Prior to the subject’s return for the 6-month visit, site personnel will review the subject’s 
status with respect to use of study drug. If a subject has experienced 3 uses of study drug, 
study participation will be complete. For those subjects who have not experienced 3 uses 
of study drug, the Investigator and the Medical Monitor will assess on a case-by-case 
basis the likelihood of achieving 3 uses of study drug by continuing the subject on study 
for an additional 3 months. If considered likely, the subject’s participation can be 
extended for another 90 days with a similar schedule of assessments. If the assessment 
concludes use of the study drug is not likely, the study will be considered complete for 
the subject. The sponsor may elect to end study participation for non-users prior to end of 
study. 
Subjects who prematurely withdraw from the study for any reason should undergo a Final 
Visit as well. If the Early Withdrawal Visit is not done, the reason(s) will be recorded in 
the eCRF.

tests to be performed is provided in Section 11.9. 
If the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to use only the 
serum pregnancy test will be according to Investigator judgment. 
The Alcohol Breath Test should be completed according to the schedule of 
assessments in subjects 17 years of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years 
of age at the Investigator's discretion). If a subject cannot complete the 
assessment or, if in the judgment of the Investigator, the subject's exposure to 
alcohol is limited as determined by the medical history, incapacity, etc., the 
site must document in the source documents the reason that the assessment is 
not completed. 
If a subject cannot provide a urine sample for drug screen or, if in the 
judgment of the Investigator, the subject's exposure to drugs of abuse is 
limited as determined by the medical history, incapacity, etc., the site must 
document in the source documents the reason that the assessment is not 
completed. If the subject cannot provide a urine sample for routine analysis, 
the site must document in the source documents the reason that the 
assessment is not completed. Urine samples obtained using a urine collection 
bag are acceptable. Urine-soaked diapers, urine pads, etc. are not acceptable 
methods of obtaining a urine sample for this study. The Sponsor does not 
advocate use of a urinary catheter. 
• Perform symptom-driven physical examination, including examination of the 
oral cavity to verify there are no significant lesions, recent prophylactic 
procedures, mouth jewelry, dentures, braces, or piercings in the mouth or 
tongue that in the opinion of the Investigator would likely interfere with 
successful completion of the dosing procedure.

SAFETY ASSESSMENTS 
Safety assessments are performed at each study visit/contact, as specified in the Schedule 
of Assessments, Table 6. 
11.1. 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs (body temperature, respiration rate, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood 
pressure measurements) will be measured, recorded, and evaluated at the visits indicated 
in the Schedule of Assessments. All vital signs will be measured after the subject has 
been resting in a sitting position for at least 5 minutes. Blood pressure measurements are 
to be taken in the same arm (if possible) for the duration of the study. 
Vital sign measurements will be repeated if clinically significant or machine/equipment 
errors occur. Out-of-range BP, RR or HR measurements will be repeated at the 
Investigator’s discretion. Any confirmed, clinically significant vital sign measurements 
must be recorded as AEs. 
11.2. 
Body Height and Weight 
Body weight (without shoes, and empty pants pockets) will be recorded whenever vital 
signs are recorded, and height (without shoes) will be recorded at all study site visits, to 
calculate weight-based study drug dosage. 
11.3. 
Physical and Neurological Examinations 
A complete physical examination (head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat [HEENT], heart, 
lungs, abdomen, skin, cervical and axillary lymph nodes, neurological, and 
musculoskeletal systems) will be performed at Screening Visit 1. Physical examinations 
will be performed by medically qualified site personnel. In addition, medical history will 
be recorded at screening, including smoking history, if applicable. 
A symptom-driven physical examination to verify continued subject eligibility and to 
follow up any change in medical history will be performed at the visits indicated in the 
Schedule of Assessments. Symptom-driven limited physical and neurological 
examinations will be performed at First, Early Withdrawal / Completion Visit, and as 
clinically indicated at any study visit. All changes not present at baseline or described in 
the past medical history and identified as clinically noteworthy must be recorded as AEs. 
11.4. 
Quality of Life Assessments 
Age-appropriate QoL assessments will be performed at all study site visits (Table 7). 
QoL administration should be delayed if a subject has experienced a simple or complex 
seizure within the previous 4 hours, or a generalized tonic-clonic seizure within the 
previous 24 hours. 
If a subject moves from one age range to the next while participating in the study, 
continued to use the same scale throughout the study. Do not switch to the next QoL 
module.

Non-verbal and cognitively impaired subjects are eligible to participate in the study. The 
Quality of Life assessments should be personally completed by the subject using non- 
verbal methods with assistance of site staff trained for these assessments. If the scales are 
not able to be completed, the site must document this. 
Quality of Life assessment should be completed according to the schedule of assessments 
in appropriately aged subjects. These assessments may be omitted as applicable if a 
subject's cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally complete the 
assessment. The site must document in the source documents the reason that these 
assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to perform test due to incapacity, etc.). 
11.5. 
Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale 
The C-SSRS, which assesses suicidal behavior and ideation, will be administered at each 
study visit. Qualified, trained staff will administer the C-SSRS, Baseline-Screening 
version at screening, and the C-SSRS, Since Last Visit version will be administered at 
Baseline and all subsequent visits. Subjects with Type 4 (active suicidal ideation with 
some intent to act, without specific plan) or Type 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific 
plan and intent) suicidal ideation during the study will be discontinued from the study and 
referred to a mental health professional. 
The C-SSRS assessment should be completed according to the schedule of assessments in 
appropriately aged subjects. These assessments may be omitted as applicable if a 
subject's cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally complete the 
assessment. The site must document in the source documents the reason that these 
assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to perform test due to incapacity, etc.).

11.6. 
Oral Mucosa Health Assessment 
A checklist was developed to use in the assessment of the health of the oral mucosa with 
sporadic, yet chronic use of study drug. During site initiation, use of the oral mucosa 
examination checklist will be reviewed with the clinical investigators and other medically 
qualified study personnel. 
The examiner will make an illumination-assisted visual inspection of the oral mucosa at 
Screening, and at all study site visits. Mucosal irritation and any injuries to the oral cavity 
(e.g., tongue or mucosa laceration, broken tooth, bleeding) will be recorded using criteria 
specified in a checklist in the eCRF. Any de novo post-dose mucosal irritation or other 
abnormality will be reported as an AE of special interest and will be followed until 
resolution. 
 
11.7. 
Gustatory Sense Assessment 
A gustatory (sense of taste) assessment using commercially available taste test strips from 
Burghart Messtechnik, in subjects 12 years and older, will be conducted by trained 
Investigator or other trained site personnel. 
The general Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS) will be used as the evaluation scale 
(ranging from “no sensation at all” to “strongest sensation of any kind”) using 
commercially available taste test strips from Burghart Messtechnik The taste strips are 
statistically well-correlated with the NIH Toolbox Regional Taste Intensity Test 
solutions.[17] The test takes approximately 6 minutes to administer. The subject must not 
eat or drink for 30 minutes prior to completing the taste test. 
The assessment will be performed during all study site visits. 
Gustatory sense assessment should be completed according to the schedule of 
assessments in appropriately aged subjects. These assessments may be omitted as 
applicable if a subject's cognitive status does not allow the subject to personally complete 
the assessment. The site must document in the source documents the reason that these 
assessments cannot be completed (e.g., unable to perform test due to incapacity, etc.). 
11.8. 
Electrocardiograms 
A 12-lead resting ECG will be obtained at the visits indicated in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 6). When performed on days of blood draws, ECG should be 
completed prior to blood collection. 
At Screening, the Investigator will examine the ECG traces for signs of cardiac disease 
that could exclude the subject from the study. An assessment of normal or abnormal will 
be recorded and if the ECG is considered abnormal, the abnormality will be documented 
on the eCRF. ECGs will be repeated at Baseline and 6 months after dosing, and at the 
Study Final/Completion or Early Withdrawal Visit, and at any study site visit if clinically 
significant abnormalities are observed or artifacts are present.

Serology: At screening (in subjects 17 years of age and older) tests for HIV, HBsAg, and HCV. Test 
positive for any of these tests is exclusionary. These may be collected in subjects < 17 years of age at the 
Investigator’s discretion. 
Pregnancy Tests: Both serum and urine pregnancy tests will be performed in all female subjects of 
childbearing potential; if the subject is unable to provide a urine sample, the option to use only the serum 
pregnancy test will be according to Investigator judgment. 
Breath Alcohol Test: The Alcohol Breath Test should be completed according to the schedule of 
assessments in subjects 17 years of age and older (and in subjects < 17 years of age at the Investigator's 
discretion). If a subject cannot complete the assessment or, if in the judgment of the Investigator, the 
subject's exposure to alcohol is limited as determined by the medical history, incapacity, etc., the site 
must document in the source documents the reason that the assessment is not completed. 
Urine Tests for Drugs of Abuse: amphetamines, phencyclidine, cocaine, opiates, benzodiazepines, 
tetrahydrocannabinol; if a subject cannot provide a urine sample for drug screen, an accurate and 
thorough review should be conducted by the Investigator with the subject and/or subject’s 
caregiver/study partner/Legally Authorized Representative. This review should include, as applicable, a 
Physical Exam, Review of Systems/Symptoms (ROS), Past Medical History, Concomitant Medications 
(including last known diazepam use), any new or ongoing adverse events, sexual activity history, 
pregnancy/menstrual cycle status and illicit drug use. 
Blood and urine samples will be analyzed at a central laboratory facility. Urine samples 
will be analyzed by dipstick, and a microscopic analysis will be performed if the results 
of dipstick indicate abnormalities to be further investigated. All laboratory reports must 
be reviewed, signed, and dated by the Investigator. A legible copy of all reports must be 
filed with both the subject's eCRF and medical record (source document) for that visit. 
Any laboratory test result considered by the Investigator to be clinically significant

should be considered an AE (clinically significant AEs include those that require an 
intervention). Clinically significant abnormal values occurring during the study will be 
followed until repeat test results return to normal, stabilize, or are no longer clinically 
significant. 
If/When a protocol-required urine sample cannot be obtained from the subject (at any 
study visit), the Investigator should in lieu ensure that an accurate and thorough review 
be conducted by the Investigator with the subject and/or subject’s caregiver/study 
partner/Legally Authorized Representative. This review should include, as applicable, a 
Physical Exam, Review of Systems/Symptoms (ROS), Past Medical History, 
Concomitant Medications (including last known diazepam use), any new or ongoing 
adverse events, sexual activity history, pregnancy/menstrual cycle status and illicit drug 
use. This is extremely important during the screening/eligibility visit as the urine sample 
is a key component/assessment in determining a host of inclusion and exclusion criteria. 
As with other missing/unobtainable protocol-mandated assessments, the site must 
document the reason why the urine sample could not be obtained from the subject (e.g., 
subject is incontinent, subject is incapable of supplying a urine sample on request, etc.) 
in the source documents and via the eCRF. 
Urine samples obtained using a urine collection bag are acceptable. Urine-soaked diapers, 
urine pads, etc. are not acceptable methods of obtaining a urine sample for this study. The 
Sponsor does not advocate use of a urinary catheter. 
11.10. 
Adverse Events 
An AE is any symptom, physical sign, syndrome, or disease that either emerges during 
the study or, if present at screening, worsens during the study, regardless of the suspected 
cause of the event. All medical and psychiatric conditions (except those related to the 
indication under study) present at screening will be documented in the medical history 
eCRF. Changes in these conditions and new symptoms, physical signs, syndromes, or 
diseases should be noted on the AE eCRF during the rest of the study. Symptoms present 
at screening in rollover subjects whose screening visit is also their final visit of the Phase 
2 study will be recorded as AEs (Table 6). Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities 
should also be recorded as AEs. Surgical procedures that were planned before the subject 
enrolled in the study are not considered AEs if the conditions were known before study 
inclusion; the medical condition should be reported in the subject’s medical history. 
Additionally, anticipated AEs for this study population, listed below, must be reported by 
Investigators to the Sponsor but will not be expedited on an individual basis. Instead 
these AEs will be reviewed in aggregate every three months by Syneos Health 
responsible group or Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). This aggregate review 
may result in an expedited safety report.

Anticipated Adverse Events for this Study and Precautions 
 
11.10.1.1. List of Anticipated Adverse Events for this Study 
The most frequent adverse event reported to be related to Diastat®AcuDial™ in the two 
double-blind, placebo-controlled studies was somnolence (23%). Less frequent adverse

events were headache (≤ 5%), diarrhea (≤ 4%), ataxia (≤ 3%), dizziness (≤ 3%), euphoria 
(≤ 3%), incoordination (≤ 3%), rash (≤ 3%), vasodilatation (≤ 2%), and asthma (≤ 2%). 
The majority of adverse events were mild to moderate in severity and transient in nature. 
Adverse events reported elsewhere were dose related and included fatigue, drowsiness, 
muscle weakness, ataxia, occasional dizziness, dysarthria, slurred speech, headache, 
paradoxical reactions, confusion, emotional poverty, decreased alertness, depression, and 
increased or decreased libido (Valium® package insert 2015). 
In the pilot study drug bio-equivalence bio-availability studies, the most frequently 
reported adverse event was somnolence. In Study1899, there were 7 occurrences of 
somnolence in 7 subjects while taking 5 mg study drug and there were 10 occurrences of 
somnolence in 10 subjects while taking 5 mg Diastat®AcuDial™ rectal gel. In Study 
1900, there were 12 occurrences of somnolence in 12 subjects while taking 20 mg study 
drug and there were 11 occurrences of somnolence in 11 subjects while taking 20 mg 
Diastat®AcuDial™ rectal gel. 
11.10.1.2. Cautionary Statements 
Due to the Central Nervous System (CNS) depressant effect of diazepam, any subject or 
subject taking it should be cautioned not to operate dangerous machinery or motor 
vehicles or engage in activities requiring mental alertness until they have returned to their 
baseline level of functioning. Additionally, there is the potential for a synergistic CNS 
depressant effect when diazepam is used simultaneously with alcohol or other CNS 
depressants including barbiturates, anxiolytics, sedatives, anti-depressants, hypnotics, 
anti-epileptic drugs, phenothiazines, skeletal muscle relaxants, anti-histamines, narcotic 
analgesics and anesthetics. 
Although study drug will not be used on a chronic daily basis, as noted in the preceding 
sections, diazepam is a Schedule IV controlled substance and can produce drug 
dependence. Caution should be used in any subject with a history, however remote, of 
alcohol or drug abuse or dependence. Diazepam may interact with disulfiram, cimetidine, 
ketoconazole, fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, diltiazem or omeprazole resulting in increased 
plasma levels of diazepam. Subjects who have taken diazepam concomitantly with these 
medications or within 5 half-lives of the respective drug, should be observed closely for 
evidence of enhanced benzodiazepine response (e.g., increased or prolonged sedation 
(Valium® PI). 
 
11.10.2. 
Collection and Documentation of Adverse Events 
Subjects/caregivers will be instructed to report AEs at each study visit. All AEs are to be 
followed until resolution or until a stable clinical endpoint is reached. Any de novo post- 
dose mucosal irritation or other abnormality will be reported as an AE of special interest 
and will be followed until resolution (see Section 11.6 ). 
Each AE is to be documented on the eCRF with reference to date of onset, duration, 
frequency, severity, relationship to study drug, action taken with study drug, treatment of 
event, and outcome. Furthermore, each AE is to be classified as being serious or 
non-serious. Changes in AEs and resolution dates are to be documented on the eCRF.

For the purposes of this study, the period of observation for collection of AEs extends 
from the time the subject gives informed consent until the Final Visit. Follow-up of the 
AE, even after the date of therapy discontinuation, is required if the AE persists until the 
event resolves or stabilizes at a level acceptable to the Investigator. The Investigator or 
designee will conduct a follow-up phone call with the subject at 30-37 days after the 
Final Visit to check on subject status and collect reporting information, should any SAE 
have occurred. 
Specific guidelines for classifying AEs by intensity and relationship to study drug are 
given in Table 9 and Table 10. 
When changes in the intensity of an AE occur more frequently than once a day, the 
maximum intensity for the event should be recorded. If the intensity category changes 
over a number of days, then the changes should be recorded separately (with distinct 
onset dates). 
Table 9: 
Classification of Adverse Events by Intensity 
 
MILD 
An event that is easily tolerated by the subject, causing minimal 
discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities. 
MODERATE 
An event that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal 
everyday activities. 
SEVERE 
An event that prevents normal everyday activities 
Table 10: 
Classification of Adverse Events by Relationship to Study Drug 
 
Probable 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a reasonable 
time sequence to drug administration, unlikely to be attributed to current 
disease or other drugs or chemicals, and which follows a clinically 
reasonable response on withdrawal. 
Possible 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a reasonable 
time sequence to drug administration, but which could also be explained by 
concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals. Information on drug 
withdrawal may be lacking or unclear. 
Unlikely 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a reasonable 
time sequence to drug administration which makes a causal relationship 
improbable, and which other drugs, chemicals or underlying disease provide 
plausible explanation. 
Unrelated 
This category is applicable to adverse events which are judged to be clearly 
and incontrovertibly due to extraneous causes (disease, environment, etc.) 
and do not meet the criteria for drug relationship listed for the above- 
mentioned conditions. 
When changes in the intensity of an AE occur more frequently than once a day, the 
maximum intensity for the event should be recorded. If the intensity category changes 
over a number of days, then the changes should be recorded separately (with distinct 
onset dates).

11.10.3. 
Serious Adverse Events and Reporting 
 
11.10.3.1. Serious Adverse Events 
An AE is considered “serious” if, in the view of either the Investigator or the Sponsor, it 
meets 1 or more of the following criteria: 
• is fatal 
• is life-threatening 
• results in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• results in a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the 
ability to conduct normal life functions 
• is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
Other important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization, based upon appropriate medical judgment, are considered 
serious adverse events (SAEs) if they are thought to jeopardize the subject and/or require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes defining a SAE. Since 
SAEs are critically important for the identification of significant safety problems, it is 
important to take into account both the Investigator’s and the Sponsor’s assessment. If 
either the Sponsor or the Investigator believes that an event is serious, the event must be 
considered serious and evaluated by the Sponsor for expedited reporting. 
 
11.10.3.2. Reporting Serious Adverse Events 
An SAE occurring during the study or 30 days of stopping the study drug treatment must 
be reported to the Syneos Pharmacovigilance Group and will be communicated to the 
Sponsor. Any such SAE due to any cause, whether or not considered related to the study 
drug, must be reported within 24 hours of occurrence or when the Investigator becomes 
aware of the event. Notification can be made using the dedicated fax line or telephone 
line for the Syneos Pharmacovigilance Group: 
 
Syneos Pharmacovigilance Fax Number: 
+1-866-856-1649 
Syneos Pharmacovigilance Telephone Number: 
+1-888-750-8020 
 
Email In case of emergency or fax failure the report can also be submitted by email to 
saereceipt.international@syneoshealth.com 
If the Investigator contacts the Syneos Pharmacovigilance Group by telephone, then a 
written report must follow within 24 hours and is to include a full description of the event 
and sequelae in the format detailed in the SAE reporting form. 
The event must also be recorded on the standard AE electronic eCRF. Preliminary reports 
of SAEs must be followed by detailed descriptions later on, including clear and 
anonymized photocopies of hospital case reports, consultant reports, autopsy reports, and 
other documents when requested and applicable. SAE reports must be made whether or 
not the Investigator considers the event to be related to the investigational drug.

Appropriate remedial measures should be taken to treat the SAE, and the response should 
be recorded. Clinical, laboratory, and diagnostic measures should be employed as needed 
in order to determine the etiology of the problem. The Investigator must report all 
additional follow-up evaluations to the Syneos Pharmacovigilance Group within 10 
calendar days. All SAEs will be followed until the Investigator and Sponsor agree the 
event is satisfactorily resolved. 
Any SAE that is not resolved by the end of the study or upon discontinuation of the 
subject’s participation in the study is to be followed until it either resolves, stabilizes, 
returns to baseline values (if a baseline value is available), or is shown to not be 
attributable to the study drug or procedures. 
 
11.10.4. 
Pregnancy 
Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breast feeding and 
must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening. Following administration of study 
drug, any known cases of pregnancy in female subjects will be reported until the subject 
completes or withdraws from the study. The pregnancy will be reported immediately by 
phone and by faxing/emailing a completed Pregnancy Report to the Sponsor (or 
designee) within 24 hours of knowledge of the event. The pregnancy will not be 
processed as an SAE; however, the Investigator will follow the subject until completion 
of the pregnancy and must assess the outcome in the shortest possible time but not more 
than 30 days after completion of the pregnancy. The Investigator should notify the 
Sponsor (or designee) of the pregnancy outcome by submitting a follow-up Pregnancy 
Report. If the outcome of the pregnancy meets the criteria for immediate classification of 
an SAE (e.g., spontaneous or therapeutic abortion [any congenital anomaly detected in an 
aborted fetus is to be documented], stillbirth, neonatal death, or congenital anomaly), the 
Investigator will report the event by phone and by faxing a completed SAE form to the 
Sponsor (or designee) within 24 hours of knowledge of the event. 
 
11.10.5. 
Overdose 
The Investigator must immediately notify the Sponsor of any occurrence of overdose 
with study drug. Previous reports of diazepam overdose have shown that manifestations 
of diazepam overdose include somnolence, confusion, coma, and diminished reflexes. 
Respiration rate, pulse and blood pressure should be monitored, as in all cases of drug 
overdose, although, in general, these effects have been minimal. General supportive 
measures should be employed, along with intravenous fluids, and an adequate airway 
maintained. Hypotension may be combated by the use of levarterenol or metaraminol. 
Dialysis is of limited value. Flumazenil, a specific benzodiazepine-receptor antagonist, is 
indicated for the complete or partial reversal of the sedative effects of benzodiazepines 
and may be used in situations when an overdose with a benzodiazepine is known or 
suspected. Prior to the administration of flumazenil, necessary measures should be 
instituted to secure airway, ventilation and intravenous access. Flumazenil is intended as 
an adjunct to, not as a substitute for, proper management of benzodiazepine overdose. 
Subjects treated with flumazenil should be monitored for resedation, respiratory 
depression and other residual benzodiazepine effects for an appropriate period after 
treatment. The prescriber should be aware of a risk of seizure in association with

flumazenil treatment, particularly in long-term benzodiazepine users and in cyclic 
antidepressant overdose. Caution should be observed in use of flumazenil in epileptic 
subjects treated with benzodiazepines. The complete flumazenil package insert, including 
CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, and PRECAUTIONS, should be consulted 
prior to use.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 
All analyses will be descriptive, and no formal statistical testing will be performed. All 
summaries will be done for all subjects combined, as well as by age group (pediatric, 
adolescent, adult). Pediatric and adolescent subjects might be combined as 1 group for 
summary purpose. 
The statistical evaluation will be performed using the Statistical Analysis Software 
(SAS®) Version 9.3 or higher (SAS Institute, Cary, NC). All data will be listed, and 
summary tables will be provided. Summary statistics will be presented by age group and 
overall. For continuous variables, data will be summarized with the number of subjects 
(n), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, min, and max. For categorical variables, data 
will be tabulated with the number and proportion of subjects for each category. 
A separate statistical analysis plan (SAP) will provide further details regarding the 
summary statistics to be provided. The SAP will serve as a compliment to the protocol 
and supersedes it in case of differences. 
12.1. 
Determination of Sample Size 
A maximum of 120 subjects with epilepsy will be screened, with about 50 pediatric and 
adolescent and about 50 adult subjects planned. A minimum of 100 subjects is expected 
to be enrolled. This sample size is based on practical reason instead of statistical 
consideration. The enrollment should include at least 20 subjects in the 6 to 11-year-old 
group and 20 subjects in the 12 to 16-year-old group. 
12.2. 
Analysis Population 
Safety Population: all subjects administered at least 1 dose of study drug. The Safety 
Population is used for all data summaries. 
12.3. 
Demographic and Baseline Characteristics 
Subject demographic and baseline characteristics will be summarized descriptively by 
age group and overall. Subject demographic baseline disease characteristics include age, 
race, gender, weight (kg), height (cm), BMI (kg/m2), and duration of epilepsy. 
12.4. 
Safety Analysis 
12.4.1. 
Primary Safety Endpoints 
 
12.4.1.1. Adverse Events 
All reported AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA version 20.0, or later). The incidence of TEAEs (adverse events with onset 
dates on or after administration of study drug) will be included in incidence tables. 
Events with missing onset dates will be included as study drug treatment-emergent. If a 
subject experiences more than 1 occurrence of the same AE, the occurrence with the 
greatest severity and the closest association with the study drug will be used in the 
summary tables. SAEs and AEs causing discontinuation will be tabulated. All AEs will
