Amendment 1 
Amendment rationale 
At the time of this amendment, enrollment into this study has not yet started. 
This protocol is being amended in order to address comments received from the reviewers at 
the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). In light of these comments 
from the Health Authority, the protocol is being amended to clarify operational activities that 
are planned for each visit. Additional details regarding the analysis plan were added. 
The specific issues addressed in this amendment include: 
1. To more completely capture the trajectory of growth and sexual development, the 
maximum age of follow up is increased from age 15 years (female) and 16 years (male), to 
16 years (female) and 17 years (male). 
2. To better evaluate the physiological basis of potential delays in growth or sexual 
development, annual endocrine laboratory testing for FSH, LH, and estrogen (females) or 
testosterone (males) will be performed. 
3. To provide a more detailed description of growth and sexual development in the study 
population, the age of attainment of each Tanner stage will be evaluated. 
4. To better track everolimus exposure and dosing, investigators will be asked to estimate the 
duration of interruptions by the patient in the prior reporting period. 
5. Sample size determinations have been added as well as other clarifications of the analysis 
plan. 
6. Data collected in the follow-up M2305 study will be pooled with the corresponding 
patient’s data collected in the parent CRAD001M2301 study. Inclusion of baseline values 
collected in M2301 before the start of everolimus will be used to calculate the whole 
exposure to everolimus for patients enrolled in the M2305 study and in considerations 
pertaining to the entire growth/development course over time from the start of everolimus. 
7. To be able to differentiate the impact of the TSC condition and the impact of the 
everolimus treatment on growth and sexual development a data set from peri-pubertal 
patients with TSC, who have not been exposed to everolimus will be used as a 
reference. These patients are a subset of the patient population that is currently being 
enrolled into the TOSCA registry (CRAD001MIC03). By end of enrollment TOSCA will 
have collected the data of approximately 1700 patients from 31 countries around the 
world. The descriptive analyses will present, side by side, the results from the 
CRAD001M2305 patients and those from the TOSCA registry patients not treated with an 
mTOR inhibitor, whenever similar data are collected in both studies. Detailed definition of 
the TOSCA subset of patients that will be used as a TSC-untreated reference population is 
provided in this amendment. If the missing data pattern is not limiting, exploratory 
indirect comparisons between patients treated by everolimus (from M2305 study) and 
those who never received an mTOR inhibitor (TOSCA subset of patients) will be 
performed to evaluate the everolimus effect on growth and sexual development (through 
the use of propensity scores).

8. The WHO growth charts will be used as reference data representing the average global 
population. Since no weight-for-age references are available from the WHO above 10 
years of age, the WHO BMI-for-age references from 0 to 19 years of age will be used and 
the BMI standard-deviation scores (SDS) will be analyzed instead of weight SDS. 
9. The long-term brain development and in particular the occurrence of TSC associated 
neurocognitive disorders will be assessed through the collection of the TAND Checklist, 
whenever available. Brain MRI scans may be evaluated, provided that scientific or 
technological advancements allow these data to be used for assessing brain functions. 
10. The window to allow patients entering the study was extended from 3 to 6 months after 
end of treatment in study CRAD001M2301. 
11. The language regarding evaluation of adverse event data was aligned with Novartis data 
directory requirements.

Interventional 
Purpose and rationale 
The results from CRAD001M2301 have shown that a significant proportion 
of patients with advanced TSC-associated SEGA benefited from 
continuous treatment with the mTOR inhibitor everolimus which led to 
volume reduction of the SEGA lesions. Patients with TSC-associated 
SEGA are typically young children at pre-pubertal age whose physical and 
sexual maturation is ongoing. mTOR has been shown to be an important 
regulator of cell growth and proliferation. Additionally, it is possible that 
mTOR is also a regulator of sexual development and maturation. As many 
patients treated in CRAD001M2301 were young at the time of their 
exposure to everolimus (an mTOR inhibitor) and/or have experienced 
prolonged exposure to the drug from a young age, patients exposed to 
everolimus as part of CRAD001M2301 may present an appropriate study 
population in which to track the long term impact of everolimus exposure 
on growth and development. 
Therefore this safety extension-study is implemented to continue 
monitoring growth and development of pediatric patients previously 
enrolled in CRAD001M2301 who have been treated or are being treated 
with everolimus. 
Primary Objective(s) 
The primary objective of this study is to monitor the growth and 
development of pediatric patients with TSC-associated SEGA, previously 
enrolled in CRAD001M2301, who had received everolimus as part of study 
CRAD001M2301 and may or may not be continuing treatment with 
everolimus by annual assessments of: 
1. Height 
2. Weight for BMI 
3. Tanner Stage 
4. Endocrine laboratory values (FSH, LH, and estrogen or testosterone) 
Secondary Objectives 
• 
Long-term safety 
• 
Age at menarche (females) 
• 
Age at thelarche (females) 
• 
Age at adrenarche (males) 
• 
Age at Tanner Stages II-V 
• 
Assess neuropsychological development by TAND Checklist 
• 
Compare CRAD001M2305 and CRAD001MIC03 on height, BMI and 
sexual development (using Tanner Stages)

patients who are currently being treated with everolimus and have been 
treated with everolimus for TSC-associated SEGA. The study will include 
all consenting pediatric patients who at the time of completion of study 
CRAD001M2301 have not achieved Tanner Stage V and are younger than 
16 years (for females) or 17 years (for males), and were receiving 
treatment with everolimus in study CRAD001M2301 within 6 months 
before enrollment into CRAD001M2305.

Data analysis 
This is a long-term safety follow-up study and statistical analyses will be 
primarily descriptive for all endpoints. 
Data collected in this CRAD001M2305 study will be pooled with the 
corresponding patient’s data collected in the parent CRAD001M2301 
study, in particular, background information on the disease history, 
demographics and baseline characteristics, everolimus exposure, sexual 
and growth development data. 
To facilitate the interpretation of the CRAD001M2305 results and help 
differentiate the impact of the TSC condition versus the impact of 
everolimus on growth and sexual development, a descriptive statistical 
comparison will be performed using data from patients with comparable 
clinical characteristics, enrolled in the TOSCA registry (CRAD001MIC03) 
and not treated with any mTOR inhibitor. The descriptive analyses will 
present, side by side, the results from the CRAD001M2305 patients and 
those from the TOSCA patients not treated with any mTOR inhibitor, 
whenever similar data are collected in both studies. 
Categorical data will be presented as frequencies, percentages, and 95% 
confidence intervals. For continuous data, mean, standard deviation, 
median, 25th and 75th percentiles, minimum, and maximum will be 
presented. 
If the missing data pattern is not limiting, exploratory indirect comparisons 
between patients treated by everolimus (from M2305 study) and those who 
never received an mTOR inhibitor (TOSCA subset of patients) will be 
performed to evaluate the everolimus effect on growth and sexual 
development (use of propensity scores). 
In order to describe data from the CRAD001M2305 patients and those 
from the TOSCA registry side by side, the following analyses sets will be 
used. 
• 
The Full Analysis Set (FAS): 
• 
for CRAD001M2305, FAS will consist of all patients enrolled in this 
study. 
• 
for TOSCA, FAS will consist of all patients enrolled in this TOSCA 
registry whose age at study entry was below 17 years and who 
never received an mTOR inhibitor throughout the registry follow-up 
period. 
• 
The Full Analysis Set for sexual development (FAS Puberty): 
• 
for CRAD001M2305, FAS Puberty will consist of the FAS patients 
defined above. 
• 
for TOSCA, FAS Puberty will consist of the FAS patients defined 
above but restricting from the patients to those aged between 9 to 
17 years at study entry. The TOSCA registry is designed to collect 
Tanner Staging until 2017 (i.e. 4 to 6 years of follow-up). Thus it is 
considered adequate to select only TOSCA patients aged between 
9 to 17 years old at the time of entry to the registry to allow for 
obtaining puberty data corresponding to the peri-pubertal time 
frame. 
The Safety Set (SS) will include all patients enrolled in this follow-up 
CRAD001M2305 study who have at least one-post baseline safety 
assessment. It should be noted that all patients enrolled in the 
CRAD001M2305 study have been exposed to everolimus in the parent 
study CRAD001M2301 (and may or may not continue receiving

commercial everolimus while on CRAD001M2305). 
For CRAD001M2305 patients, the duration of everolimus exposure and 
cumulative everolimus dose will be described using descriptive statistics 
on the Safety Set. 
The total duration of everolimus exposure will be calculated as the total 
duration of everolimus exposure received while on CRAD001M2301 plus 
the total duration of (commercially supplied) everolimus exposure reported 
in CRAD001M2305. 
In the CRAD001M2305 study, the duration of (commercially supplied) 
everolimus exposure will be estimated using the dates of the first and last 
everolimus doses and investigator summary of treatment interruptions 
between each visit. 
The primary safety objective of this study is to report the effect of 
everolimus treatment on height, BMI and sexual development (using 
Tanner Stages) in children and adolescents with TSC-associated SEGA 
who are taking everolimus or have taken everolimus. 
The height and BMI standard deviation scores (SDS) will be calculated 
based on data collected during the study and published reference 
information. The SDS (also called z-scores) will be computed for a 
particular patient at each time point. The time-course of height and BMI 
SDS will be summarized on the FAS using descriptive statistics by year 
since the enrollment date. Growth charts for height and BMI will be 
presented for each patient. 
Percentage of patients who will have reached Tanner Stage V by age 16 
(for females) or age 17 (for males) will be provided on the FAS Puberty, 
along with 95% confidence intervals. 
Endocrine parameters such as LH, FSH, testosterone levels (in males) 
and LH, FSH, estrogen levels (in females) will be summarized descriptively 
by gender and by age over time on the Safety Set. 
The following secondary objectives will be described: the long term-safety, 
the age at Tanner Stage V, the age at thelarche and menarche for 
females, and the age at adrenarche for males. The secondary safety 
objective of the study will be based mainly on the frequency of adverse 
events. 
The overall observation period will be divided into two mutually exclusive 
segments to analyse the adverse events on the Safety Set in the M2305 
study: 
1. everolimus exposure period: from day of first commercial dose 
received in the M2305 study to 30 days after the last commercial dose 
received in the M2305 study 
2. post-everolimus exposure period: 
• 
starting at day 30+1 after the last commercial dose in the M2305 
study 
or 
• 
starting at the enrollment date for patients who will stop everolimus 
in M2301 and who will not start everolimus in M2305. 
Summary tables for adverse events (AEs) have to include only AEs that 
started or worsened during the everolimus exposure period. However, all 
safety data will be listed and those collected during the post-everolimus 
exposure period are to be flagged. 
Deaths reportable as SAEs and non-fatal serious adverse events will be 
listed by patient and tabulated by type of adverse event. 

Novartis

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
Clinically notable AEs (CNAE) will be considered. Such categories consist 
of one or more well-defined safety events which are similar in nature and 
for which there is a specific clinical interest in connection with everolimus. 
The other secondary safety objectives of the study will be based on sexual 
and neuropsychological development data. 
The age when patients reach each Tanner Stage II-V will be summarized 
on the FAS Puberty. 
The following variables will be summarized on the Safety Set (those are 
only collected in the CRAD001M2305 study) using descriptive statistics: 
• 
age when females will start thelarche 
• 
age when females will have their first menses 
• 
age when males will reach adrenarche 
Potential delayed puberty will be defined based on Tanner stage and also 
on onset of menarche for girls. Potential cases identified through this 
algorithm, will then be clinically reviewed by assessing all available 
information in order to conclude the clinical relevance of the delay: 
• 
Potential delayed puberty in girls is defined as failure to attain Tanner 
Stage II by age 13, or absence of menarche by age 15 or within 5 
years of attainment of Tanner Stage II 
• 
Potential delayed puberty in boys is defined as failure to attain Tanner 
Stage II by age 14 
All responses to the individual questions from the TAND Checklist 
(collected in both studies) will be summarized using descriptive statistics 
on both studies, side by side, and over time on the FAS. 
Everolimus blood trough levels (Cmin), collected at investigator discretion 
in compliance with local product information, should be recorded if 
available. The time-normalized Cmin value will be estimated for the entire 
treatment period using recorded everolimus Cmin values and prescribed 
doses in that treatment period. Cmin will be summarized with descriptive 
statistics over time. 
No formal interim analysis is planned for this study. However, safety 
outputs may be generated for regulatory safety updates.

Background 
1.1 
Overview of subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGA) 
associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and growth 
and development 
The long term effects of everolimus on the growth and development of pediatric patients 
treated for TSC-associated SEGA are unknown. This study is designed to monitor the long 
term growth and development of pediatric patients who had previously been treated with 
everolimus in a randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial of everolimus in this indication 
(CRAD001M2301). 
1.1.1 
SEGA-associated with TSC 
TSC is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by inactivating mutations in the TSC1 
or TSC2 genes, with a prevalence ranging from 1 in 6000 to 1 in 25,000 (Morrison 2009, 
Crino 2006, Osborne 1991). TSC affects approximately 1 million people worldwide (Anon 
2010). The disease is characterized by benign, highly vascular, hamartoma growth and 
variable clinical manifestations ranging from mild dermatologic findings to seizures (which 
affect up to 90% of patients), learning disabilities (38% to 80%), mental retardation (50% to 
70%), autism (20% to 60%), and fatal renal, cardiac, or pulmonary diseases (Curatolo 2002, 
Levine 2006). 
Despite this broad range of clinical findings, a limited number of features are responsible for 
the morbidity and decreased life expectancy associated with this disease. These include 
neurologic disorders such as SEGAs and seizures, renal diseases such as angiomyolipomas 
and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), pulmonary disease (lymphangioleiomyomatosis), and 
cardiovascular disease (rhabdomyoma) (Goh et al 2004). 
The incidence of SEGA in TSC varies from 5 to 15% (Shepherd et al 1991). SEGA lesions 
are usually associated with TSC. They arise in the subependymal layer of the lateral ventricle 
and are usually located near the foramen of Monro and enhance homogeneously with contrast 
on MRI with no evidence of surrounding edema. These are slow-growing lesions that are 
typically unapparent clinically until they reach sufficient size to produce ventricular 
obstruction and hydrocephalus. By the time symptoms are noted, they are often irreversible 
even by emergent surgical intervention. They arise deep within the brain in the region of the 
foramen of Monro, which hampers their surgical resection, as the approach to the lesion 
entails removal of substantial amounts of viable cerebral tissue. Surgery, even when 
successful, often results in significant morbidity. 
1.1.2 
Treatments for SEGA-associated with TSC 
For SEGAs that exhibit serial growth, cause hydrocephalus, or produce any clinical 
symptoms, resection, until recently, was the only recommended treatment for these patients 
(Torres 1998, Sinson 1994, Cuccia 2003). The lack of reported spontaneous regression or 
subsequent stabilization in SEGAs supported this recommendation (Franz 2007). In addition, 
SEGAs do not typically respond to radiation therapy or chemotherapy (Franz 2007). Given 

Novartis

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
the genetic basis of TSC, the risk of inducing second malignancies through utilization of 
standard chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy has been noted (Matsumura et al 1998). 
Everolimus first received accelerated approval from FDA on 29-Oct-2010 based on data from 
CRAD001C2485 under the trade name Afinitor® for the treatment of patients with SEGA 
associated with TSC who require therapeutic intervention but are not candidates for curative 
surgical resection based on data from CRAD001C2485. The effectiveness of Afinitor is based 
on an analysis of change in SEGA volume. Clinical benefit such as improvement in disease-
related symptoms or increase in overall survival has not been demonstrated 
Subsequently on 29-Aug-2012, the indication was revised by FDA based on results of study 
CRAD001M2301 and with the approval of the dispersible tablet to “Afinitor® Tablets and 
Afinitor® Disperz are indicated in pediatric and adult patients with TSC for the treatment of 
SEGA that requires therapeutic intervention but cannot be curatively resected. The 
effectiveness of Afinitor Tablets and Afinitor Disperz is based on demonstration of durable 
objective response, as evidenced by reduction in SEGA tumor volume. Improvement in 
disease-related symptoms and overall survival in patients with SEGA and TSC have not been 
demonstrated”. 
In the EU, under the trade name Votubia®, everolimus first received conditional approval on 
02-Sep-2011 based on the data from CRAD001C2485 for the treatment of patients aged 3 
years and older with SEGA associated with TSC who require therapeutic intervention but are 
not amenable to surgery. Further clinical benefit, such as improvement in disease-related 
symptoms, has not been demonstrated. Based on data from CRAD001M2301, the European 
Commission decision was received on 15-Nov-2013 for removal of the age restriction and 
inclusion of the dispersible tablets. 
1.1.3 
Growth and development 
Growth 
Childhood growth and development are routinely monitored as part of child preventive health 
care in many countries. The assessment whether a child’s growth pattern deviates from that of 
the reference population is intended to detect childhood illnesses that manifest themselves 
through abnormal growth, ideally before any other signs or symptoms of the disease have 
appeared. 
Close monitoring of growth and development may be even more important when children are 
treated over long periods of time with drugs like everolimus that interfere with complex 
intracellular signaling pathways. Everolimus is an inhibitor of mTOR, a key player in a 
multifunctional, intracellular signal transduction pathway which has been shown to be 
essential for various vital processes. mTOR senses cellular nutrient and energy levels, and is 
one of many regulators of the cell cycle and proliferation. At present, it is unknown if long 
term treatment with everolimus affects the growth and development of children. Under certain 
circumstances everolimus is the only treatment option for children with SEGA associated with 
TSC. In this study, the height and weight for BMI of pediatric patients who take or have taken 
everolimus will be assessed on an annual basis to detect possible abnormalities.

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
WHO (World Health Organization) growth charts and other population-specific growth data 
have been used to establish cut-off values that define abnormal growth. The most commonly 
used parameter is height-for-age [expressed as height SD score (SDS) or height percentile]. 
Standard deviations scores (SDS) give an indication of the stature of the subject relative to a 
normal population of that age, a value of 0 being average and + and - values representing 
degrees of tallness and shortness, respectively. 
Development 
In animal studies it was shown that signaling through mTOR was at least partially involved in 
the control of puberty onset. Chronic blockade of mTOR by rapamycin had a strong inhibitory 
impact on puberty onset in female rats. Preliminary results suggested that also male rat 
puberty is sensitive to mTOR inactivation. Toxicology studies performed with everolimus 
demonstrate that treatment with everolimus may be associated with decreased weight in 
rodent pups and a delay in descent of testes in male pups. 
Additionally, the safety profile of everolimus in Study [CRAD001M2301] was consistent 
with that observed in the phase II study [CRAD001C2485] in patients with TSC with the 
exception of three cases of secondary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea is thought to be an 
indicator of end-stage ovarian dysfunction. It has been speculated that this finding may be a 
consequence of TSC-related-mTOR over-expression or mTOR inhibition. 
Due to these preclinical and clinical findings further investigation of possible effects of long-
term everolimus treatment on the onset of puberty and development of TSC patients is 
imperative. This study is designed to address these questions. The timing of puberty onset and 
development through the different stages to full maturation will be monitored by assessment 
of Tanner Stage and if achieved prior to study completion timing of menarche and thelarche 
(females) or adrenarche (males). 
In addition, many of the patients who will be enrolled in this study have previously received 
and will be taking antiepileptic drugs (or enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs [EIAED]). 
While in general it is not thought that antiepileptic drugs impact ultimate height, the studies 
have not been comprehensive (Macardle et al 1986). Additionally, some antiepileptic drugs 
(e.g., valproic acid, topiramate) may affect weight in the peri-pubertal period (Novak et al 
1999). As a consequence, this study may generate some observations about the dual exposure 
of patients to antiepileptic drugs and everolimus. 
1.2 
Introduction to everolimus 
1.2.1 
Overview of everolimus (RAD001) 
Everolimus (Afinitor®/Votubia®; RAD001) is a selective inhibitor of mTOR, specifically 
targeting mTORC1. Everolimus was initially developed to prevent allograft rejection 
following solid organ transplantation, and is approved in more than 80 countries worldwide 
for use in this indication (Certican®/Zortress®). 
In the oncology setting, everolimus has been approved, under the trade name Afinitor, in the 
US, in EU and many countries worldwide for the treatment of patients with advanced renal 
cell carcinoma (>100 countries), for the treatment of patients with advanced neuroendocrine 

Novartis

Page 19 
Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
tumors of gastrointestinal, lung or pancreatic origin (>80 countries) and for the treatment of 
postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer in 
combination with an aromatase inhibitor, after prior endocrine therapy (>80 counties). 
Indications vary by country. 
In the TSC setting, everolimus has received approval in more than 70 countries, under the 
trade names Afinitor and Votubia, for the treatment of patients with TSC who have SEGA not 
requiring immediate surgery and for the treatment of adult patients with renal 
angiomyolipoma associated with TSC, not requiring immediate surgery. 
1.2.1.1 
Non-clinical experience 
Everolimus inhibits the proliferation of a range of human tumor cell lines in vitro including 
lines originating from lung, breast, prostate, colon, melanoma and glioblastoma. IC50s range 
from sub/low nM to μM. Everolimus also inhibits the proliferation of human umbilical vein 
endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro, with particular potency against VEGF-induced 
proliferation suggesting that everolimus may also act as an anti-angiogenic agent. The 
antiangiogenic activity of everolimus was confirmed in vivo. Everolimus selectively inhibited 
VEGF-dependent angiogenic response at well tolerated doses. Mice with primary and 
metastatic tumors treated with everolimus showed a significant reduction in blood vessel 
density when compared to controls. 
Everolimus administered orally daily was a potent inhibitor of tumor growth, at well tolerated 
doses, in 11 different mouse xenograft models (including pancreatic, colon, epidermoid, lung 
and melanoma) and two syngeneic models (rat pancreatic, mouse orthotopic melanoma). 
These models included tumor lines considered sensitive and “relatively resistant” in vitro. In 
general, everolimus was better tolerated in mouse xenograft models than standard cytotoxic 
agents (i.e., doxorubicin and 5-fluorouracil), while possessing similar anti-tumor activity. In 
nonclinical models, the administration of everolimus is associated with reduction of protein 
phosphorylation in target proteins downstream of mTOR, notably phosphorylated S6 (p-S6) 
and p-4E-BP1, and occasionally with an increase in phosphorylated AKT, a protein upstream 
of mTOR signaling pathway. 
All significant adverse events observed in toxicology studies with everolimus in mice, rats, 
monkeys and mini-pigs were consistent with its anticipated pharmacological action as an 
antiproliferative and immunosuppressant and at least in part reversible after a 2 or 4-week 
recovery period with the exception of the changes in male reproductive organs, most notably 
testes. 
Further details can be found in the everolimus Investigator’s Brochure. 
1.2.1.2 
Clinical experience 
Interventional studies in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex: 
Everolimus has been investigated in one phase I/II study (28 patients) in patients with TSC 
who have SEGA [CRAD001C2485]. Additionally, two phase III studies have been conducted 
in patients with TSC: study [CRAD001M2301] in patients with TSC who have SEGA 
(117 patients) and study [CRAD001M2302] in patients with renal angiomyolipoma

(118 patients). [CRAD001MIC02] is an ongoing, expanded access phase IIIb study for 
patients with TSC associated SEGA. Currently there is a fourth phase III study 
[CRAD001M2304] ongoing in which everolimus will be tested to evaluate whether its use as 
adjunctive treatment results in reducing seizure frequency in patients with TSC who have 
refractory seizures. 
Data on a small series of TSC patients who had systematic SEGAs which were treated with 
daily rapamycin therapy showed tumor size reduction by 46-63% within 2.5 to 5 months 
(Franz et al 2006). All lesions exhibited regression and, in one case, necrosis. Interruption of 
therapy for one patient resulted in regrowth of the SEGA, but further regression of another 62-
75% was seen upon the resumption of therapy. These results represented a new therapeutic 
paradigm for the treatment of SEGAs in the TSC patients with rapamycin and related agents. 
Therefore, in 2007, everolimus entered clinical development for TSC. Study C2485, 
conducted by Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), is a prospective, 
non-randomized, open-label, investigator-initiated, single-center 28-patient trial designed to 
evaluate the safety and efficacy of everolimus in patients ≥ 3 years of age with SEGA 
associated with TSC. The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline in volume of 
primary SEGA lesion at 6 months as determined by central radiology review. At 6 months, 9 
out of 28 patients (32%, 95% CI: 16% to 52%) had a ≥ 50% reduction in the tumor volume of 
their largest SEGA lesion. The median duration of response for these 9 patients was 11.8 
months (range 3.2 to 39.1 months). Response rate continues to improve as 58.3% of patients 
(14 of 23) who took everolimus for at least four years have experienced a reduction of ≥ 50% 
in the size of their largest SEGA relative to baseline. One patient has experienced a SEGA 
progression (defined as an increase of at least 25% to a value greater than baseline). The 
median time from first response to progression/censoring was 37 months (range: 6-63 
months). No patient developed a new lesion and none required surgical resection or other 
therapy for SEGA. 
The safety and efficacy of everolimus in patients with TSC who have SEGA was studied 
further in [CRAD001M2301], a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 
everolimus conducted in 117 pediatric and adult patients with SEGA and TSC. The main 
efficacy outcome measure was SEGA response rate based on independent central radiology 
review. After 6-months of study treatment, 35% of the patients treated with everolimus had at 
least a 50% reduction in SEGA volume compared to none in the placebo group (Franz et al 
2013). Based on recent data, the response rate after at least 12-months of everolimus treatment 
has increased to 48%. SEGA progression was seen in nine of the all patients treated with 
everolimus (8.1%). In five patients, progression occurred after cessation of treatment or was 
associated with Cmin values which were markedly reduced or at zero. In one case of 
progression, the patient developed hydrocephalus that was successfully treated, in the absence 
of SEGA growth. In one case, progression reversed with further treatment. 
Non-interventional studies: 
A total of three non-interventional studies relevant for the TSC setting ([CRAD001MIC03], 
[CRAD001MCO05], and [CRAD001M1401]) have been initiated and are ongoing (Table 1-
1). These three studies have so far not shown any unexpected or unusual safety findings.

Rationale 
2.1 
Study rationale and purpose 
The results from [CRAD001M2301] have shown that a significant proportion of patients with 
advanced TSC-associated SEGA benefited from continuous treatment with the mTOR 
inhibitor everolimus which led to volume reduction of the SEGA lesions. Patients with TSC-
associated SEGA are typically young children at pre-pubertal age whose physical and sexual 
maturation is ongoing. mTOR has been shown to be an important regulator of cell growth and 
proliferation. Additionally, it is possible that mTOR is also a regulator of sexual development 
and maturation. As many patients treated in [CRAD001M2301] were young at the time of 
their exposure to everolimus (an mTOR inhibitor) and/or have experienced prolonged 
exposure to the drug from a young age, patients exposed to everolimus as part of 
CRAD001M2301 may present an appropriate study population in which to track the long term 
impact of everolimus exposure on growth and development. 
Upon request by the EMA (during the procedure EMEA/H/C/002311/II/0004), this safety 
extension-study, classified as Post-Authorization Safety Study (PASS), is implemented to 
continue growth and development monitoring of pediatric patients enrolled in 
CRAD001M2301 who have been treated or are being treated with everolimus. 
The study will monitor the growth and development of pediatric patients with TSC-associated 
SEGA, previously enrolled in CRAD001M2301until they reach Tanner Stage V, or until age 
16 for females or 17 for males whichever occurs first. After completion of [CRAD001M2301] 
continued treatment with everolimus is at investigator discretion and is not required for 
participation in CRAD001M2305. It is expected that some patients will cease treatment with 
everolimus upon completion of study CRAD001M2301, but most will opt for continued 
treatment with everolimus. Under either circumstance, the patients will be eligible for 
enrolment in study CRAD001M2305.

The primary objective of CRAD001M2305 is to report the long-term effects of everolimus 
treatment on height, BMI and sexual development (using Tanner Stages) in children and 
adolescents with TSC-associated with SEGA. Additionally, it is possible that the presence of 
TSC and SEGA and non-everolimus therapy could affect growth and sexual development. To 
be able to differentiate the potential impact of the TSC condition and the potential impact of 
the everolimus treatment on growth and sexual development a second data set from peri-
pubertal patients with TSC, who have not been exposed to everolimus will be used as a 
reference. These patients are a subset of the patient population that is currently being enrolled 
into the TOSCA registry. 
Height and BMI data obtained in this study will be compared against the WHO reference 
growth charts (representing the average global population). Recent growth surveys in both 
developed and developing countries have reported increases in mean height and earlier sexual 
maturation, suggesting that current WHO growth charts, may not be representative of the 
general population in the future. Therefore if, over the course of the next 10 years, a more 
appropriate reference data set is developed, the study may compare the growth and sexual 
development of its subjects to such a data set. 
Monitoring of patient safety, brain development as assessed by TAND Checklist and the 
timing of menarche, thelarche (females), and adrenarche (males), and the age at Tanner Stage 
V will be determined as secondary objectives.

Rationale for the study design 
CRAD001M2305 is a prospective, multi-center phase IIIb/IV study. This study will 
investigate if the physical and sexual development of pediatric patients is affected by previous 
or ongoing treatment with everolimus. 
Growth (height, weight), sexual development (Tanner Stages, sex hormone levels, age at 
menarche, thelarche (females) and adrenarche (males)), and brain development (assessed by 
TAND Checklist, dates of brain MRI) of patients participating in this long-term follow-up 
study will be followed at annual visits to the site until patients achieve Tanner Stage V or age 
16 (females), age 17 (males) whichever occurs first. 
Adverse events, concomitant medication, appearance of menarche, will be monitored and data 
collected every 3 months (“3-monthly”). As per local product information, all patients should 
be receiving periodic Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) to monitor the blood trough 
concentration of everolimus, any available everolimus blood trough levels with date of sample 
collection, will be recorded every 3-months. Unless clinically indicated these 3-monthly visits 
can be performed per telephone. 
Of note: the participation in this study does not require the administration of everolimus. In 
such cases in which the patient is taking everolimus, data collection (such as TDM, trough 
level, duration of everolimus interruptions and everolimus prescribed dose) will only be 
recorded, when available. Everolimus treatment, should it be continued during 
CRAD001M2305, will be based on the local product information. 
Blood samples will be collected annually for assessment of endocrine levels at a local lab for 
all patients, starting at age 10 until study participation is ended.

Data collected in this CRAD001M2305 study will be pooled with the corresponding patient’s 
data collected in the parent CRAD001M2301 study, in particular background information on 
the disease history, demographics and baseline characteristics, everolimus exposure, sexual 
and growth development data. 
To facilitate the interpretation of the CRAD001M2305 results and help differentiate the 
impact of the TSC condition versus the impact of everolimus on growth and sexual 
development, a descriptive statistical comparison will be performed using data from patients 
with comparable clinical characteristics, enrolled in the TOSCA registry and not treated with 
an mTOR inhibitor. 
CRAD001M2305 results will be reported, side by side, with those from the TOSCA registry 
patients not treated with an mTOR inhibitor, whenever similar data are collected in both 
studies.

Study design 
4.1 
Description of study design 
This is a prospective, multi-center, long-term follow-up, Post-Authorization Safety Study 
(PASS) evaluating the growth and development of pediatric patients who are currently being 
treated with everolimus or who have previously been treated with everolimus for TSC-
associated SEGA in [CRAD001M2301]. The study will include all consenting pediatric 
patients who at the time of completion of study CRAD001M2301 have not achieved Tanner 
Stage V and are younger than 16 years (for females) or 17 years (for males), and were 
receiving treatment with everolimus in study [CRAD001M2301] within 6 months before 
enrollment into CRAD001M2305. 
According to [CRAD001M2301] enrollment figures, it is anticipated that at the time of the 
start of study CRAD001M2305, approximately 50 patients may be eligible for this study, if 
they consent to participate. 
Enrollment 
Enrollment into CRAD001M2305 will start at the conclusion of the parent protocol 
([CRAD001M2301]). Investigators will identify study patients who qualify for enrollment 
into CRAD001M2305 and assign each a unique patient number (refer to Section 6.3). 
All pediatric patients and his/her parents or legal guardian must be thoroughly informed about 
the study. The Informed Consent Form(s) for CRAD001M2305 must be signed prior to 
performing any study procedures. 
Once Informed Consent has been obtained and eligibility is confirmed (Tanner Stage and age 
have been verified) by the investigator, the patient may be enrolled in the study. 
Monitoring 
For patients taking everolimus, dosing should follow the local product information. 
Patient visits will occur every 3 months (± 14 days) for collection of adverse events, any 
Afinitor/Votubia-related SAEs, and date of menarche (females). This information will be 
obtained from the patient or their parents/caregiver, depending on the patient’s age and 
cognitive abilities. 
Visits will also occur annually (± 30 days) for measurement of growth (height, weight), 
development (Tanner staging, age at thelarche, age at menarche for females, age at adrenarche 
for males), and pregnancy testing. Height and weight should be measured with the same 
calibrated equipment and in the same manner, preferably with the patient wearing minimal 
clothing and no shoes at every respective visit. If possible these measurements should be 
obtained by the same site personnel throughout the study. 
A blood sample will be taken at the annual visits for assessment of hormone levels at a local 
laboratory, starting at age 10 until study participation is ended. Estrogen, luteinizing hormone,

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
and follicular stimulating hormone will be tested for females and testosterone, luteinizing 
hormone, and follicular stimulating hormone for males. 
Adverse events should be collected, by the investigator, according to the protocol 
requirements. Afinitor/Votubia-related SAEs should be collected throughout the study until 
30 days after last everolimus dose. 
Additionally, medications and therapies/non-drug therapies should be recorded on the CRFs 
designated to record concomitant medications at every 3-month and annual visit until the end 
of the study. 
The date of the first dose and the date of the last dose of systemic everolimus treatment will 
be recorded, as available. The patient’s recent everolimus Cmin (i.e. obtained since the last 
visit as per local product information) with collection date and current prescribed everolimus 
dose should be recorded. The time-normalized Cmin value will be estimated for the entire 
treatment period using recorded everolimus Cmin values and prescribed doses in that 
treatment period (Section 10.5.2). Additionally, a summary of everolimus interruptions (an 
estimate of the duration of the interruptions) will be collected at each study visit. 
The dates of all performed brain MRI scans that are done in the scope of the regular TSC 
SEGA follow-up will be collected at the annual visits. Brain MRI data will not be collected at 
this point but may be retrieved at a later date if technological advancements pertaining to 
predicting future cognitive abilities such as the development of the working memory arise. 
Brain development will be assessed by determining the occurrence of TSC-Associated-
Neuropsychiatric-Disorders (TAND) with an appropriate TAND Checklist at each annual 
visit. 
The first study visit will occur 3 months after enrollment in CRAD001M2305 and the first 
annual visit one year (± 30 days) after enrollment in CRAD001M2305. The 3-monthly visits 
can be performed per telephone unless a visit to the site is clinically indicated. 
Patient participation in the study will be completed once the patient has achieved Tanner 
Stage V or age 16 for females, age 17 for males, whichever occurs first.

Timing of interim analyses and design adaptations 
No formal interim analysis is planned for this study. However, safety outputs may be 
generated for regulatory safety updates. 
4.3 
Definition of end of the study 
The study will end when all patients have either reached Tanner Stage V, or age 16 for 
females, age 17 for males, or when the last patient is discontinued. The latest possible LPLV 
date is expected to take place in September-2026. 
4.4 
Early study termination 
The study can be terminated at any time for any reason by Novartis. The investigator may be 
informed of procedures to be followed in order to ensure that adequate consideration is given 
to the protection of the patient’s interests. The investigator will be responsible for informing 
IRBs and/or ECs of the early termination of the trial. 
5 
Population 
5.1 
Patient population 
The target population is comprised of pediatric female and male patients who have previously 
participated in the study [CRAD001M2301] and have not, prior to enrollment into 
CRAD001M2305, reached age 16 for females, or age 17 for males. Additionally, these 
patients will not yet have achieved Tanner Stage V. Study treatment in study 
[CRAD001M2301] must have been completed within 6 months prior to enrollment into 
CRAD001M2305. 
The investigator or designee must ensure that only patients who meet all inclusion are offered 
participation in the study. No additional exclusions can be applied by the investigator, in order 
that the study population will be representative of all eligible patients. All screening 
assessments must be completed and reviewed by the investigator (or designee) prior to 
starting study participation in CRAD001M2305. 
All pediatric study patients and their parent(s) or legal guardian must be thoroughly informed 
about all aspects of the study, including the study visit schedule and required evaluations, and 
all regulatory requirements in order to ensure informed consent. The written informed consent 
must be obtained prior to performing any CRAD001M2305 study procedures. If the patient is 
unable to read, an impartial witness and/or the patient’s parent or legal guardian must be 
present during the entire informed consent discussion. The following criteria apply to all 
patients enrolled into the study. 
5.2

Patient numbering, everolimus exposure 
6.3.1 
Patient numbering 
Each patient is identified in the study by a Patient Number (Patient No.), that is assigned when 
the patient is first enrolled and is retained as the primary identifier for the patient throughout 
his/her entire participation in the trial. The Patient No. consists of the Center Number (Center 
No.) (as assigned by Novartis to the investigative site) with a sequential patient number 
suffixed to it, so that each subject is numbered uniquely across the entire database. Upon 
signing the informed consent form, the patient is assigned to the next sequential Patient No. 
available. 
6.3.2 
Everolimus exposure 
For patients being prescribed Afinitor/Votubia, the sponsor will monitor the exposure by 
requesting that the investigator record in the CRF the current prescribed dose, a summary of 
everolimus interruptions, and any available everolimus trough concentration levels 
(completed as per label) that have been recorded in the patient chart. This information must 
also be recorded in the source document at each patient visit.

7.1.1 
Eligibility enrollment 
Patients have to be thoroughly informed about the study by the investigator and have to sign 
the informed consent form before study enrollment can be performed. The inclusion/exclusion 
criteria should be verified within 28 days before Day 1. If Tanner Staging was done in the 
scope of [CRAD001M2301] within 3 months prior to enrollment into CRAD001M2305, these 
results may be used for enrollment decisions. In this case, Tanner Staging does not have to be 
repeated. The patient’s age should be verified prior to enrollment into CRAD001M2305. 
7.1.1.1 
Patient demographics and other characteristics at study start 
At time of enrollment, patients’ demographic and previous study identification from the 
parent protocol (CRAD001M2301) will be collected. Furthermore patients will undergo 
Tanner Staging, height, weight, and developmental milestone (adrenarche, thelarche, 
menarche) assessments. 
Data pertaining to ongoing adverse events and concomitant medications will be transferred 
from the parent study into CRAD001M2305. 
For details of assessments, refer to Table 7-1. 
7.1.2 
Study participation 
At the discretion of the investigator, patients may continue treatment of their TSC-associated 
SEGAs with commercially-supplied everolimus. Everolimus does not need to be actively in 
use for the entire duration of the patient’s study participation. 
7.1.3 
Study completion 
Patients will meet the criteria for study completion upon demonstrating Tanner Stage V, or 
reaching age 16 (females) or age 17 (males), whichever comes first. Upon meeting the criteria 
for study completion, the patient should schedule an End of Study visit at the site. The End of 
Study visit cannot be completed via telephone contact. 
Patients who discontinue commercial everolimus should continue study participation until 
meeting any of the aforementioned criteria for study completion. The discontinuation of 
everolimus will be recorded on the End of Treatment CRF page. Safety monitoring should be 
continued for at least 30 days following the last dose of everolimus. 
Patients who complete the study, or discontinue the study early, should have the reason for 
exiting the study recorded on the Study Phase Completion Disposition CRF (SEC) page. 
7.1.3.1 
Criteria for early study discontinuation 
Patients may voluntarily withdraw from the study or be dropped from it at the discretion of 
the investigator at any time. Patients must be withdrawn from the study if any of the following 
occur: 
• Protocol deviation(s) that impact eligibility 
• Patient withdrew consent 
• Lost to follow-up 

Novartis

• Administrative problems 
• Death 
7.1.4 
Post-study follow up period 
All patients must have safety evaluations 30 days after the last dose of everolimus. 
Patients lost to follow up should be recorded as such on the CRF. For patients who are lost to 
follow-up, the investigator should show "due diligence" by documenting in the source 
documents steps taken to contact the patient, e.g., dates of telephone calls, registered letters, 
etc. 
7.2 
Assessment types 
7.2.1 
Efficacy assessments 
Not applicable 
7.2.2 
Safety and tolerability assessments 
Safety will be monitored by collecting data about growth, development, and adverse events. 
For details on AE collection and reporting, refer to Section 8.1. 
7.2.2.1 
Height and weight 
Height and body weight (with minimal clothing, without shoes) will be measured annually. 
Note: CRFs are designed to collect the data in the units they are measured in; e.g., height in 
centimeters (cm) or inches (in) and weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lb). Height and 
weight should be measured with the same calibrated equipment and in the same manner at 
every respective visit. If possible these measurements should be obtained by the same site 
personnel throughout the study. 
7.2.2.2 
Tanner staging 
For all male patients, Tanner Stage V will be achieved once the patient has demonstrated 
either stage 5 genitalia development or stage 5 pubic hair development. For all female 
patients, Tanner Stage V will be achieved once the patient has demonstrated either stage 5 
breast development or stage 5 pubic hair development (Marshal 1969, Marshal 1970). 
Male: Genitalia stages: 
Stage 1: Pre-adolescent. Testes, scrotum, and penis are of about the same size and proportion 
as in early childhood. 
Stage 2: The scrotum and testes have enlarged and there is a change in the texture of the 
scrotal skin. There is also some reddening of the scrotal skin. 
Stage 3: Growth of the penis has occurred, at first mainly in length but with some increase in

Stage 5: Genitalia adult in size and shape. No further enlargement takes place after Stage 5 is 
reached. 
Male: Pubic hair stages: 
Stage 1: Pre-adolescent. The vellus over the pubesis no further developed than that over the 
abdominal wall, i.e. no pubic hair. 
Stage 2: Sparse growth of long, slightly pigmented, downy hair, straight or only slightly 
curled, appearing chiefly at the base of the penis. 
Stage 3: Considerably darker, coarser, and more curled. The hair spreads sparsely over the 
junction of the pubes. 
Stage 4: Hair is now adult in type, but the area covered by it is still considerably smaller than 
in most adults. There is no spread to the medial surface of the thighs. 
Stage 5: Adult in quantity and type, distributed as an inverse triangle of the classically 
feminine pattern. Spread to the medial surface of the thighs but not up the linea alba or 
elsewhere above the base of the inverse triangle. 
Female: Breast stages: 
Stage 1: Pre-adolescent; elevation of papilla only. 
Stage 2: Breast bud stage; elevation of breast and papilla as a small mound, enlargement of 
areola diameter. 
Stage 3: Further enlargement of breast and areola, with no separation of their contours. 
Stage 4: Projection of areola and papilla to form a secondary mound above the level of the 
breast. 
Stage 5: Mature stage; projection of papilla only, due to recession of the areola to the general 
contour of the breast. 
Female: Pubic hair stages: 
Stage 1: Pre-adolescent; the vellus over the pubes is not further developed than that over the 
anterior abdominal wall, i.e. no pubic hair. 
Stage 2. Sparse growth of long, slightly pigmented, downy hair, straight or only slightly 
curled, appearing chiefly along the labia. 
Stage 3: Considerably darker, coarser, and more curled. The hair spreads sparsely over the 
junction of the pubes. 
Stage 4: Hair is now adult in type, but the area covered by it is still considerably smaller than 
in most adults. There is no spread to the medial surface of the thighs. 
Stage 5: Adult in quantity and type, distributed as an inverse triangle of the classically 
feminine pattern. Spread to the medial surface of the thighs, but not up the linea alba or 
elsewhere above the base of the inverse triangle.

7.2.2.3 
Endocrine testing 
A blood sample for analysis of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicular stimulating hormone 
(FSH), and estrogen (females) or total testosterone (males) will be collected on day 1, 
annually, and at end of study for endocrine assessment at a local laboratory for all patients, 
starting at age 10 until study participation is ended. In the event that amenorrhea is reported in 
between scheduled assessments, hormone evaluations should be completed at that time. 
7.2.2.4 
Brain imaging 
The dates of all brain MRI scans that were performed since the last annual visit will be 
collected annually. Actual MRI data will only be retrieved if future technological 
advancements allow MRI data to be used for prediction of cognitive abilities, diagnosing 
neuropsychological disorders, and assessing the speed of cognitive development. 
7.2.2.5 
TSC-associated-neuropsychiatric-disorders (TAND) 
A TAND Checklist will be completed by an appropriate clinician at the clinical site at each 
annual visit. 
7.2.2.6 
Pregnancy testing 
For all female patients who have achieved Tanner Stage II or higher, urine pregnancy testing 
will be completed annually as part of the assessments for growth and development. In the 
event of positive urine pregnancy test, results should be verified by serum pregnancy testing. 
7.2.2.7 
Pregnancy and assessments of fertility 
When effective contraception is required, pregnancy testing is recommended at enrollment 
and at the end of the trial. All patients should follow instructions for contraception as per local 
label. 
There are no adequate data from the use of everolimus in pregnant women. Studies in animals 
have shown reproductive toxicity effects including embryotoxicity and foetotoxicity. The 
potential risk for humans is unknown. 
Everolimus is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing 
potential not using contraception. Discontinuation of everolimus should be considered in 
case of pregnancy. 
All pregnancies should be followed up to determine outcome (Section 8.3). Patient 
participation in this study for monitoring of growth and development should be continued.

Safety monitoring and reporting 
8.1 
Adverse events 
8.1.1 
Definitions and reporting 
An adverse event is defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) 
undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s) that occur after patient’s signed 
informed consent has been obtained. 
Adverse events that begin or worsen after informed consent may be recorded in the Adverse 
Events CRF. Adverse events that were ongoing from CRAD001M2301 will be transferred to 
the AE CRFs for CRAD001M2305. Adverse event monitoring should be continued for at 
least 30 days following the last dose of everolimus treatment. Adverse events (including lab 
abnormalities that constitute AEs) should be described using a diagnosis whenever possible, 
rather than individual underlying signs and symptoms. When a clear diagnosis cannot be 
identified, each sign or symptom should be reported as a separate Adverse Event. 
Adverse events will be assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse 
Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. 
If CTCAE grading does not exist for an adverse event, the severity of mild, moderate, severe, 
and life-threatening, corresponding to Grades 1-4, will be used. CTCAE Grade 5 (death) will 
not be used in this study; rather, information about deaths will be collected though a Death 
form 
The occurrence of adverse events should be sought by non-directive questioning of the patient 
during the screening process after signing informed consent and at each visit during the study. 
Adverse events also may be detected when they are volunteered by the patient during the 
screening process or between visits, or through physical examination, laboratory test, or other 
assessments. As far as possible, each adverse event should be evaluated to determine: 
• The severity grade (CTCAE Grade 1-4) 
• Its duration (start and end dates or ongoing at end of study) 
• Its relationship to the everolimus treatment (suspected/not suspected) 
• Action taken with respect to everolimus treatment (no action taken; study drug dosage 
adjusted/temporarily interrupted; study drug permanently discontinued due to this adverse 
event; concomitant medication taken) 
• Whether it is serious, where a serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as in Section 8.2.1. 
All adverse events should be treated appropriately. If a concomitant medication or non-drug 
therapy is given, this action should be recorded on the Adverse Event CRF. 
Once an adverse event is detected, it should be followed until its resolution or until it is 
judged to be permanent, and assessment should be made at each visit (or more frequently, if 
necessary) of any changes in severity, the suspected relationship to everolimus treatment, the 
interventions required to treat it, and the outcome.

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
Progression of TSC may be reported as an adverse event. Progression of TSC will not 
necessarily end patient participation in this study unless the patient meets any of the other 
reasons for early study discontinuation. 
Adverse events separate from the progression of TSC (e.g., deep vein thrombosis at the time 
of progression or hemoptysis concurrent with finding of disease progression) will be reported 
as per usual guidelines used for such events with proper attribution regarding relatedness to 
everolimus. 
8.2 
Serious adverse events 
8.2.1 
Definitions 
Serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as one of the following: 
1. Is fatal or life-threatening 
2. Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
3. Constitutes a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
4. Is medically significant, i.e., defined as an event that jeopardizes the patient or may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above 
5. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 
Note that hospitalizations for the following reasons should not be reported as serious adverse 
events: 
• Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication, not associated with any 
deterioration in condition of TSC 
• Elective or pre-planned treatment for a pre-existing condition that is unrelated to the 
indication under study and has not worsened since signing the informed consent 
• Social reasons and respite care in the absence of any deterioration in the patient’s general 
condition 
• Note that treatment on an emergency outpatient basis that does not result in hospital 
admission and involves an event not fulfilling any of the definitions of a SAE given above 
is not a serious adverse event 
8.2.2 
Reporting 
To ensure patient safety, every SAE, regardless of suspected causality, occurring after the 
patient has provided informed consent until at least 30 days after the patient has stopped 
everolimus must be reported to Novartis within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence. 
Any SAEs experienced after this 30 days period should only be reported to Novartis if the 
investigator suspects a causal relationship to everolimus. Recurrent episodes, complications, 
or progression of the initial SAE must be reported as follow-up to the original episode within 
24 hours of the investigator receiving the follow-up information. An SAE occurring at a 
different time interval or otherwise considered completely unrelated to a previously reported 
one should be reported separately as a new event. 
Information about all SAEs is collected and recorded on the Serious Adverse Event Report 
Form; all applicable sections of the form must be completed in order to provide a clinically 

Novartis 
Confidential 
Page 40 
Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
thorough report. The investigator must assess and record the relationship of each SAE to 
treatment with everolimus, complete the SAE Report Form in English, and send the 
completed, signed form by fax within 24 hours to the oncology Novartis Drug Safety and 
Epidemiology (DS&E) department. 
The telephone and telefax number of the contact persons in the local department of Drug 
Safety and Epidemiology (DS&E), specific to the site, are listed in the investigator folder 
provided to each site. The original copy of the SAE Report Form and the fax confirmation 
sheet must be kept with the case report form documentation at the study site. 
Follow-up information is sent to the same contact(s) to whom the original SAE Report Form 
was sent, using a new SAE Report Form stating that this is a follow-up to the previously 
reported SAE and giving the date of the original report. Each re-occurrence, complication, or 
progression of the original event should be reported as a follow-up to that event regardless of 
when it occurs. The follow-up information should describe whether the event has resolved or 
continues, if and how it was treated, whether the blind was broken or not, and whether the 
patient continued or withdrew from study participation. 
If the SAE is not previously documented in the Investigator’s Brochure or Package Insert 
(new occurrence) and is thought to be related to the Novartis everolimus treatment, an 
oncology Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology (DS&E) department associate may 
urgently require further information from the investigator for Health Authority reporting. 
Novartis may need to issue an Investigator Notification (IN), to inform all investigators 
involved in any study with the same drug that this SAE has been reported. Suspected 
Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) will be collected and reported to the 
competent authorities and relevant ethics committees in accordance with Directive 
2001/20/EC or as per national regulatory requirements in participating countries. 
8.3 
Pregnancies 
To ensure patient safety, each pregnancy occurring while the patient is on everolimus must be 
reported to Novartis within 24 hours of learning of its occurrence. The pregnancy should be 
followed up to determine outcome, including spontaneous or voluntary termination, details of 
the birth, and the presence or absence of any birth defects, congenital abnormalities, or 
maternal and/or newborn complications. 
Pregnancy should be recorded on a Clinical Trial Pregnancy Form and reported by the 
investigator to the oncology Novartis Drug Safety and Epidemiology Department (DS&E). 
Pregnancy follow-up should be recorded on the same form and should include an assessment 
of the possible relationship to the commercial supply of everolimus and any pregnancy 
outcome. Any SAE experienced during pregnancy must be reported on the SAE Report Form. 
Pregnancy outcomes must be collected for the female partners of any males who took 
everolimus treatment in this study. Consent to report information regarding these pregnancy 
outcomes should be obtained from the mother.

Data collection and management 
9.1 
Data confidentiality 
Information about study subjects will be kept confidential and managed under the applicable 
laws and regulations. Those regulations require a signed subject authorization informing the 
subject of the following: 
• What protected health information (PHI) will be collected from subjects in this study 
• Who will have access to that information and why 
• Who will use or disclose that information 
• The rights of a research subject to revoke their authorization for use of their PHI. 
In the event that a subject revokes authorization to collect or use PHI, the investigator, by 
regulation, retains the ability to use all information collected prior to the revocation of subject 
authorization. For subjects that have revoked authorization to collect or use PHI, attempts 
should be made to obtain permission to collect follow-up safety information (e.g. has the 
subject experienced any new or worsened AEs) at the end of their scheduled study period. 
The data collection system for this study uses built-in security features to encrypt all data for 
transmission in both directions, preventing unauthorized access to confidential participant 
information. Access to the system will be controlled by a sequence of individually assigned 
user identification codes and passwords, made available only to authorized personnel who 
have completed prerequisite training. 
9.2 
Site monitoring 
Before study initiation, at a site initiation visit or at an investigator’s meeting, Novartis 
personnel (or designated CRO) will review the protocol and CRFs with the investigators and 
their staff. During the study, the field monitor will visit the site regularly to check the 
completeness of patient records, the accuracy of entries on the CRFs, the adherence to the 
protocol to Good Clinical Practice, and the progress of enrollment and study conduct. Key 
study personnel must be available to assist the field monitor during these visits. 
The investigator must maintain source documents for each patient in the study, consisting of 
case and visit notes (hospital or clinic medical records) containing demographic and medical 
information, such as laboratory data, electrocardiograms, and the results of any other tests or 
assessments. All information recorded on CRFs must be traceable to source documents in the 
patient's file. The investigator must also keep the original signed informed consent form (a 
signed copy is given to the patient). 
The investigator must give the monitor access to all relevant source documents to confirm 
their consistency with the CRF entries. Novartis monitoring standards require full verification 

Novartis 
Confidential 
Page 42 
Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
for the presence of informed consent, adherence to the inclusion/exclusion criteria and 
documentation of SAEs. Additional checks of the consistency of the source data with the 
CRFs are performed according to the study-specific monitoring plan. 
9.3 
Data collection 
For studies using Electronic Data Capture (EDC), the designated investigator staff will enter 
the data required by the protocol into the Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRF). The eCRFs 
have been built using fully validated secure web-enabled software that conforms to 21 CFR 
Part 11 requirements, Investigator site staff will not be given access to the EDC system until 
they have been trained. Automatic validation programs check for data discrepancies in the 
eCRFs and, allow modification or verification of the entered data by the investigator staff. 
The Principal Investigator is responsible for assuring that the data entered into eCRF is 
complete, accurate, and that entry and updates are performed in a timely manner. 
9.4 
Database management and quality control 
For studies using eCRFs, Novartis personnel (or designated CRO) will review the data entered 
by investigational staff for completeness and accuracy. Electronic data queries stating the 
nature of the problem and requesting clarification will be created for discrepancies and 
missing values and sent to the investigational site via the EDC system. Designated 
investigator site staff are required to respond promptly to queries and to make any necessary 
changes to the data. 
Concomitant treatments and prior medications entered into the database will be coded using 
the WHO Drug Reference List, which employs the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical 
classification system. Medical history/current medical conditions and adverse events will be 
coded using the Medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA) terminology. 
For EDC studies, after database lock, the investigator will receive a CD-ROM or paper copies 
of the patient data for archiving at the investigational site. 
10 
Statistical methods and data analysis 
The data will be analyzed by Novartis and/or a designated CRO. 
This is a long-term safety follow-up study and statistical analyses will be primarily descriptive 
for all endpoints. 
Data collected in this CRAD001M2305 study will be pooled with the corresponding data 
collected in the parent CRAD001M2301 study, in particular, background information on the 
disease history, demographics and baseline characteristics, everolimus exposure, sexual and 
growth development data. This pooling will allow for the following: 
• Obtaining baseline values collected in M2301 before start of everolimus 
• Calculating the whole exposure to everolimus for patients enrolled in the M2305 study 
• Considering the whole growth/development course over time from the start of everolimus. 
The descriptive analyses of data from the CRAD001M2305 study and TOSCA registry will 
be presented, side by side, whenever similar data are collected in both studies. This is 

Novartis 
Confidential 
Page 43 
Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
intended to facilitate the interpretation of the CRAD001M2305 results and help differentiate 
the impact of the TSC condition versus the impact of everolimus on growth and sexual 
development. 
Categorical data will be presented as frequencies, percentages and 95% confidence intervals. 
For continuous data, mean, standard deviation, median, 25th and 75th percentiles, minimum, 
and maximum will be presented. 
If the missing data pattern is not limiting, exploratory indirect comparisons between patients 
treated by everolimus (from M2305 study) and those who never received an mTOR inhibitor 
(TOSCA subset of patients) will be performed to evaluate the everolimus effect on growth 
and sexual development. The proposed statistical methodology for these indirect comparisons 
is described in Section 10.5.1.4. 
In addition to the statistical methods outlined below, further details and any additional 
exploratory analyses that may be performed will be described in the Report and Analysis Plan 
(RAP). 
10.1 
Analysis sets 
10.1.1 
Full Analysis Set 
In order to describe data from the CRAD001M2305 patients and those from the TOSCA 
registry side by side, the following analyses sets will be used. 
• The Full Analysis Set (FAS): 
• for CRAD001M2305, FAS will consist of all patients enrolled in this study. 
• for TOSCA, FAS will consist of all patients enrolled in this TOSCA registry whose 
age at study entry was below 17 years and who never received an mTOR inhibitor 
throughout the registry follow-up period. 
• The Full Analysis Set for sexual development (FAS Puberty): 
• for CRAD001M2305, FAS Puberty will consist of the FAS patients defined above. 
• for TOSCA, FAS Puberty will consist of the FAS patients defined above but 
restricting from the patients to those aged between 9 to 17 years at study entry. The 
TOSCA registry is designed to collect Tanner Staging until 2017 (i.e. 4 to 6 years of 
follow-up). Thus it is considered adequate to select only TOSCA patients aged 
between 9 to 17 years old at the time of entry to the registry to allow for obtaining 
puberty data corresponding to the peri-pubertal time frame. 
10.1.2 
Safety Set 
The Safety Set (SS) will include all patients enrolled in this follow-up CRAD001M2305 study 
who have at least one-post baseline safety assessment. It should be noted that all patients 
enrolled in the CRAD001M2305 study have been exposed to everolimus in the parent study 
CRAD001M2301 (and may or may not continue receiving commercial everolimus while on 
CRAD001M2305).

Patient demographics/other baseline characteristics 
Demographic and other baseline characteristics will be described by study (CRAD001M2305 
and TOSCA), side by side, on the two Full Analysis Sets (FAS and FAS-Puberty). 
The baseline value will be the last available assessment on or before the start of everolimus 
for CRAD001M2305 patients and the first available assessment after the enrollment date for 
the TOSCA patients. 
10.3 
Treatments (everolimus treatment, concomitant therapies, 
exposure) 
For patients in Study CRAD001M2305, the duration of everolimus exposure and cumulative 
everolimus dose will be described using descriptive statistics on the Safety Set. 
The total duration of everolimus exposure will be calculated as the total duration of 
everolimus exposure received while on Study CRAD001M2301 plus the total duration of 
(commercially supplied) everolimus exposure reported in Study CRAD001M2305. 
Similarly the cumulative dose of everolimus will be calculated as the cumulative everolimus 
dose received while on CRAD001M2301 plus the cumulative everolimus (commercially 
supplied) dose reported in CRAD001M2305. 
In the CRAD001M2305 study: 
• the duration of (commercially supplied) everolimus exposure will be estimated based on 
the dates of the first and last everolimus doses and the investigator summary of treatment 
interruptions (estimation of number of missed doses) between each visit. 
• the cumulative dose will be estimated through the prescribed doses recorded at each visit. 
Between two consecutive visits, the prescribed dose will be assumed constant taking into 
account the investigator summary of treatment interruptions between each visit. 
All exposure data will be listed. 
Concomitant medications and significant non-drug therapies taken concurrently with 
everolimus will be listed and summarized by ATC class, preferred term by means of 
frequency counts and percentages. 
The Safety Set will be used for all above-mentioned tables and listings. 
10.4 
Primary objective 
The primary safety objective of this study is to report the effect of everolimus on height, BMI 
and sexual development (using Tanner Stages) in children and adolescents with TSC-
associated SEGA who are taking everolimus or have taken everolimus.

10.4.1 
Variable 
To monitor the growth and the development of pediatric patients the following measurements 
will be performed annually: 
• Height 
• Weight 
• Tanner Stage 
• LH, FSH, and estrogen levels (female patients) starting age 10 
• LH, FSH, and testosterone levels (male patients) starting age 10 
10.4.1.1 Statistical hypothesis, model, and method of analysis 
10.4.1.2 Height and BMI 
The height standard deviation score (SDS) will be calculated based on height data collected 
during the study and published reference height information. The height SDS (also called z-
score) will be computed for a particular patient at each time point. The same approach will be 
used to compute BMI SDS. BMI will be calculated as weight (in kg) / squared height (in m). 
The z-scores will allow identification of potential outliers. 
SDS will be calculated using the current formulae provided by the WHO as follows: 
1. Calculate zind = 
 
2. If | zind | ≤ 3, SDS = zind 
If zind > 3, 
SDS = 3 + (X – SD3pos) / SD23pos 
If zind < -3, SDS = -3 + (X – SD3neg) / SD23neg 
where: 
• X is height in centimeters or BMI in kilograms/m2, 
• L, M and S are height or BMI-, sex- and age-specific reference values from the WHO 
Growth Charts. 
• SD3pos is the cutoff 3SD calculated by the LMS method: 
SD3pos = M * (1 + LS*3)1/L 
• SD3neg is the cutoff -3SD calculated by the LMS method: 
SD3pos = M * (1 + LS*(-3))1/L 
• SD23pos if the difference between the cutoffs 3SD and 2SD: 
SD23pos = M * (1 + LS*3)1/L - M * (1 + LS*2)1/L 
• SD23neg if the difference between the cutoffs -2SD and -3SD: 
SD23neg = M * (1 + LS*(-2))1/L - M * (1 + LS*(-3))1/L 
Height-for-age and BMI-for-age L, M and S reference values for boys and girls are available 
under http://www.who.int/childgrowth/standards/en/ (for patients aged between 0 to 5 years 
old) and http://www.who.int/growthref/en/ (for patients aged between 5 to 19 years old). 
These correspond to the latest available international references available at the time of this 
protocol and described in the 2007 Bulletin of the World Health Organization (Mercedes de 

Novartis 
Confidential 
Page 46 
Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
Onis et al 2007). However these references may be revised according to new available 
standards at the time of the analysis. 
The age category immediately above the patient’s exact age should be used. SDS is actually a 
Z score that measures the distance from the population mean in units of standard deviations. 
That is, SDS < 0 refers to values lower than the population mean, and for example SDS ≤ -
1.645 refers to values in the lowest 5%. (The usual percentile more commonly used in the 
clinical practice can be derived from the Z-score by a normal distribution). 
The time-course of height and BMI SDS will be summarized, side by side, on the FAS of the 
studies CRAD001M2305 and TOSCA using descriptive statistics by year since the enrollment 
date (for TOSCA patients) or since the start of everolimus (for CRAD001M2305 patients). 
The counts and frequencies of patients with height and BMI SDS values lower than the 5th 
percentile (notably low) or higher than the 95th percentile (notably high) will be described on 
the FAS, overall and by region. 
The rate of height (respectively BMI) growth notable abnormality will be calculated as the 
rate of patients with a height SDS < 5th percentile at the last time point where height is 
reported. 
If a high rate of notably height (respectively BMI) growth abnormality occurs in the 
CRAD001M2305 patients, the relationship between the everolimus exposure and the height 
growth abnormality will be further explored as detailed below: 
• The rate of height (respectively BMI) growth abnormality will be described in the 
different subgroups defined by the duration of everolimus exposure. These subgroups will 
be defined in the Report and Analysis Plan. 
• The duration of exposure and the age at start of everolimus will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics in the subgroups of patients with and without a height (respectively 
BMI) growth abnormality. 
• A logistic regression including the duration of exposure and the age at the start of 
everolimus as continuous covariates will also be used to further explore the relationship 
between the everolimus exposure and the height (respectively BMI) growth notable 
abnormality. Additional covariates (e.g. time normalized Cmin) might also be included in 
the model. 
In addition, individual patient graphs for height and BMI over time will be provided for 
CRAD001M2305 patients. 
10.4.1.3 Tanner Stage 
Tanner Stage will include two components for boys, namely testis and pubic hair; and two 
components for girls: breast development and pubic hair. 
Percentage of patients who will have reached Tanner Stage V by age 16 (for females) or age 
17 (for males) will be provided, side by side, on the FAS Puberty of the studies CRADM2305 
and TOSCA, along with 95% confidence intervals. 
The relationship between the everolimus exposure and the Tanner Stage will be further 
explored in the CRAD001M2305 patients as detailed below:

• The percentage of patients who will have reached Tanner Stage V by age 16 (for females) 
or age 17 (for males) will be described in the different subgroups defined by duration of 
everolimus exposure. These subgroups will be defined in the Report and Analysis Plan. 
• The duration of exposure and the age at start of everolimus will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics in the subgroups of patients who will reach and who will not reach 
Tanner Stage V by age 16 (for females) or age 17 (for males). 
• A logistic regression including the duration of exposure and the age at the start of 
everolimus as continuous covariates may also be used to further explore if needed the 
relationship between the everolimus exposure and the achievement of Tanner Stage V by 
age 16 (for females) or age 17 (for males). Additional covariates (e.g. time normalized 
Cmin) might also be included in the model.

Endocrine parameters such as LH, FSH, testosterone levels (in males) and LH, FSH, estrogen 
levels (in females) will be summarized descriptively, side by side, by gender and by age over 
time on the FAS of the studies CRADM2305 and TOSCA. 
In addition individual patient graphs over time will be provided for the CRAD001M2305 
patients. 
All data will be listed. 
10.4.2 
Handling of missing values/censoring/discontinuations 
All missing data will simply be described as missing on appropriate tables/listings in 
particular for patients who will not have reached Tanner Stage V or the age of 16 years (for 
females) or the age of 17 years (for males) at the end of the CRAD001M2305 study or at the 
end of the TOSCA registry using the FAS Puberty.

Secondary objectives 
The following secondary objectives will be described: the long term-safety, the age at Tanner 
Stage II-V, the age at thelarche and menarche for females, the age at adrenarche for males and 
the TAND Checklist responses. 
Additionally an indirect comparison of CRAD001M2305 and TOSCA will be performed to 
compare the height, BMI and sexual development (using Tanner Stages). 
10.5.1 
Safety objectives 
The secondary safety objective of the study will be based mainly on the frequency of adverse 
events. All safety data will be listed.

10.5.1.1 Analysis set and grouping for the analyses 
All listings and tables will be presented for all CRAD001M2305 patients using the Safety Set 
for adverse events. 
The overall observation period will be divided into two mutually exclusive segments: 
1. everolimus exposure period: from day of first commercial dose received in the M2305 
study to 30 days after the last commercial dose received in the M2305 study. 
2. post-everolimus exposure period: 
• starting at day 30+1 after the last commercial dose received in the M2305 study 
or 
• starting at the enrollment date for patients who will stop everolimus in M2301 and 
who will not start commercial everolimus. 
10.5.1.2 Adverse events (AEs) 
Summary tables for adverse events (AEs) have to include only AEs that started or worsened 
during the everolimus exposure period, the treatment-emergent AEs. However, all safety data 
will be listed and those collected during the post-everolimus exposure period are to be 
flagged. 
The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (new or worsening from baseline) will be 
summarized by system organ class and or preferred term, severity (based on CTCAE grades), 
type of adverse event, relation to everolimus treatment and by year since the enrollment date. 
The prevalence over time of treatment-emergent adverse events will be described by system 
organ class and or preferred term. 
Deaths reportable as SAEs and non-fatal serious adverse events will be listed by patient and 
tabulated by type of adverse event. 
Clinically notable AEs (CNAE) will be considered. Such categories consist of one or more 
well-defined safety events which are similar in nature and for which there is a specific clinical 
interest in connection with everolimus. 
For each CNAE, number and percentage of patients with at least one event part of the CNAE 
will be reported by categories regrouping the relevant preferred terms, as appropriate. 
10.5.1.3 Other safety data 
The other secondary safety objectives of the study will be based on sexual and 
neuropsychological development data. 
The age when patients reach each Tanner Stage II-V will be summarized on the FAS Puberty 
of the studies CRADM2305 and TOSCA. 
The following variables will be summarized on the Safety Set (SS) (those are only collected 
in the CRAD001M2305 study) using descriptive statistics: 
• age when females will start thelarche 
• age when females will have their first menses 
• age when males will reach adrenarche

For the age at which Tanner Stage II will be achieved, summary statistics from the Kaplan-
Meier distribution will be determined on the FAS puberty, including the median age and the 
proportions of patients reaching this milestone at some given ages. These statistics will be 
given as point estimates with 95% confidence intervals. The same analyses will be performed 
for the following variables: age at which each Tanner Stage III, IV and V will be reached. Age 
at thelarche (females), age at menarche (females) and age at adrenarche (males) will be 
described similarly on the SS. 
Potential delayed puberty will be defined based on Tanner stage and also on onset of 
menarche for girls. Potential cases identified through this algorithm, will be then clinically 
reviewed by assessing all available information in order to conclude the clinical relevance of 
the delay. 
Potential delayed puberty in girls is defined as failure to attain Tanner Stage II (for both breast 
development and pubic hair) by age 13, or absence of menarche by age 15 or within 5 years of 
attainment of Tanner Stage II (Fenichel 2012) Potential delayed puberty in boys is defined as 
failure to attain Tanner Stage II (for both testis and pubic hair) by age 14 (Traggiai 2002, 
Tanner 1962) 
Rates of potential delayed puberty will be described for boys and girls separately among the 
patients at risk of delayed puberty along with 95% confidence intervals. The patients at risk 
are patients who may potentially present an event of potential delayed puberty at baseline. 
The rates of potential delayed puberty will be described in the different subgroups defined by 
duration of everolimus exposure. These subgroups will be defined in the Report and Analysis 
Plan. 
The duration of exposure and the age at start of everolimus will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics in the subgroup of patients with potential delayed puberty. 
If a high rate of potential delayed puberty occurs, a logistic regression including the duration 
of exposure and the age at the start of everolimus as continuous covariates will also be used to 
further explore the relationship between the everolimus exposure and the rate of potential 
delayed puberty. Additional covariates (e.g. time normalized Cmin) might also be included in 
the model. 
These patients will be clinically reviewed by assessing all available information in order to 
evaluate their puberty development. 
All responses to the individual questions from the TAND Checklist (collected in both studies) 
will be summarized using descriptive statistics on both studies, side by side, and over time on 
the FAS of studies CRAD001M2305 and TOSCA. 
Safety data from other assessments will be listed, notable values flagged, and any other 
information collected will be listed as appropriate. 
10.5.1.4 Indirect comparison 
If the missing data pattern will not limiting, an indirect comparison between patients treated 
by everolimus (from CRAD001M2305 study) and those who never received an mTOR 
inhibitor (TOSCA subset of patients) will be performed to evaluate the everolimus effect on

growth and sexual development. Due to the observational nature of the TOSCA registry and 
its limited follow-up time, the statistical analysis will be primarily descriptive. 
The following steps will be followed: 
• The following non-exhaustive list of baseline characteristics will be used to assess 
potential imbalances between the two groups of patients: age at baseline, race, country, 
gender, age at first diagnosis of TSC, height abnormality at baseline, BMI abnormality at 
baseline, TSC mutation, type of TSC lesions, endocrine abnormality at baseline, Tanner 
Stage at baseline. 
• If any imbalances that are deemed to affect the comparison of the two groups are 
identified in the step above, propensity scores will be calculated using the appropriate 
statistical model according to the observed missing data pattern. The propensity score is 
the conditional probability of being a member of one of the groups to be compared (i.e. 
probability of being from the CRAD001M2305 study) given the patient’s covariates 
(D’Agostino 1998, Rosenbaum 1984). 
• Strata defined by the propensity scores (e.g. quintiles) will be then created and the balance 
between the groups within those strata will be examined. 
• If deemed relevant, the estimated propensity scores may then be used to obtain estimates 
for the effect of everolimus on growth (respectively sexual) development, through 
matching and/or logistic regression adjustment, using the CRAD001M2305 and TOSCA 
FAS (respectively FAS-Puberty) analysis sets. Matching will be considered if there is a 
much larger sample size of untreated (TOSCA) patients as compared to the 
CRAD001M2305 patients. In regression adjustment the propensity score may be included 
either as its raw score or as per the defined strata. In addition to the propensity score a 
subset of the other baseline characteristics covariates may be included. 
The following should be noted: the above described use of propensity scores is exploratory 
and highly dependent on the observed data (observed imbalances between groups, observed 
missingness pattern) and therefore it is not possible to fully pre-specify all aspects of the 
planned analyses. In addition, whereas a formal randomization guarantees that there should be 
no systematic differences in observed and unobserved covariates between the groups to be 
compared, the propensity scores are conditional only on the observed covariates. Thus, even if 
the use of propensity scores is intended to reduce bias and increase precision of the treatment 
effect, these indirect comparisons analyses using the propensity score methodology will be 
considered exploratory only and should be interpreted with cautious. 
For each covariate used to investigate the imbalances between the two groups (and then 
calculate the propensity score) the missing-data mechanism will be explored. If relevant 
(depending on the number of patients in the TOSCA Full Analysis Sets, amount of missing 
data, missing-data mechanism), specific methods like Multiple Imputation or ECM algorithms 
may be considered to estimate the propensity scores in presence of missing data. Handling of 
missing data is an evolving field of research and additional methods may be considered at the 
time of the availability of these long-term data. This will be further detailed in the Report 
Analysis Plan. 
If the missing data pattern will not limiting, the effect of everolimus on height (respectively 
BMI) growth abnormality may also be assessed as an exploratory analysis through the use of 

Novartis

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
propensity scores in a logistic regression or matching comparison as detailed before. The 
same analysis will be performed for the achievement of Tanner Stage V by age 16 (for 
females) or age 17 (for males). 
10.5.2 
Pharmacokinetics 
Blood trough levels collected at investigator discretion in compliance with local product 
information should be recorded, if available. 
The time-normalized Cmin value will be estimated for the entire treatment period using 
recorded everolimus Cmin values and prescribed doses in that treatment period. Cmin will be 
summarized with descriptive statistics over time in the SS. 
Time-normalized Cmin (Cmin,TN) will be calculated over each assessment interval (t1, t2). 
The time-normalized Cmin is defined as: 
 
Cmin,TN = (Cmin,t1*p1 + Cmin,t2*p2) / (p1+p2) 
• Cmin is considered to be the same within the same dosing interval (Cmin,ti is the mean 
Cmins if multiple Cmins are available within a dosing interval) 
• The dosing interval Pi is number of days in which the patient is treated with the same dose 
(in mg). 
• If there is no valid Cmin value available within a dose interval, the following imputation 
rule will be applied: the last Cmin,ti value will be taken and multiplied by the ratio of the 
dose given in the current dose interval to that of the previous dose interval. 
• The dose refers to the prescribed dose. 
If a high rate of growth/puberty abnormalities occurs, the potential relationships between 
Cmin and growth/puberty data will be explored in the SS as follow: 
Percentage of patients who will have reached Tanner Stage V by age 16 (for females) or age 
17 (for males) will be presented split by exposure to everolimus, in terms of patient’s time-
normalized Cmin. As per everolimus label the target Cmin for pediatric patients is between 5 
to 15 ng/mL, the time-normalized Cmin will be categorized as < 5 ng/ml, 5-10 ng/ml and > 10 
ng/ml. Note: if there are insufficient numbers of patients in one of the groups the categories 
may be collapsed. 
The same descriptive analyses will be performed for the rates of potential delayed puberty and 
for rate of notably low BMI/height SDS.

Sample size calculation 
No formal sample size calculation has been performed in this non-comparative study which 
consists in the long-term safety follow-up of CRAD001M2301 paediatric patients. It is 
anticipated that approximately 50 patients who have participated in CRAD001M2301 would 
be eligible to enter CRAD001M2305. 
Based on the safety findings in study CRAD001M2301 in terms of growth development 
where the estimated rate of patients with growth development abnormality was between 5 – 
10% as of 11-Jan-2013 cutoff, it can be expected that the proportion of patients with growth 
development abnormality in this study would be in the same range, between 5 - 10%. The 
growth development abnormality would be defined as rate of notably low height SDS at the 
cut-off date of the analysis. 
The proposed sample size of 50 patients will allow estimating a two-sided 95% confidence 
interval for rate of patients with growth development abnormality. Table 10-1 below shows 
the exact binomial 95% confidence interval (Clopper and Pearson 1934) and the precision of 
the estimate for N=50 for various numbers of observed patients with growth abnormality. 
Note that the final interval will depend on the final sample size.

With this sample size of 50, if we observe 4 patients with growth development abnormality 
(which corresponds to an observed 8% rate) there will be 79% probability of true rate of 
patients with growth development abnormality ≤ 10%. Probabilities that the true rate of 
patients with growth development abnormality is lower or equal to 10% with different number 
of observed patients with development abnormality are illustrated in Table 10-2. These

This clinical study was designed, shall be implemented and reported in accordance with the 
ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, with applicable local 
regulations (including European Directive 2001/20/EC and US Code of Federal Regulations 
Title 21), and with the ethical principles laid down in the Declaration of Helsinki. 
11.2 
Responsibilities of the investigator and IRB/IEC/REB 
The protocol and the proposed informed consent form must be reviewed and approved by a 
properly constituted Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee/Research 
Ethics Board (IRB/IEC/REB) before study start. Prior to study start, the investigator is 
required to sign a protocol signature page confirming his/her agreement to conduct the study 
in accordance with these documents and all of the instructions and procedures found in this 
protocol and to give access to all relevant data and records to Novartis monitors, auditors, 
Novartis Clinical Quality Assurance representatives, designated agents of Novartis, 
IRBs/IECs/REBs and regulatory authorities as required. 
11.3 
Informed consent procedures 
Eligible patients may only be included in the study after providing written (witnessed, where 
required by law or regulation) IRB/IEC/REB-approved informed consent, or, if incapable of 
doing so, after such consent has been provided by a legally acceptable representative of the 
patient. In cases where the patient’s representative gives consent, the patient should be 
informed about the study to the extent possible given his/her understanding. If the patient is 

Novartis 
Confidential 
Page 54 
Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
capable of doing so, he/she should indicate assent by personally signing and dating the written 
informed consent document or a separate assent form. 
Informed consent must be obtained before conducting any study-specific procedures (i.e. all 
of the procedures described in the protocol). The process of obtaining informed consent 
should be documented in the patient source documents. The date when a subject’s Informed 
Consent was actually obtained will be captured in their CRFs. 
Novartis will provide to investigators, in a separate document(s), proposed informed consent 
form(s) (ICF) that are considered appropriate for this study and complies with the ICH GCP 
guideline and regulatory requirements. Any changes to this ICF suggested by the investigator 
must be agreed to by Novartis before submission to the IRB/IEC/REB, and a copy of the 
approved version must be provided to the Novartis monitor after IRB/IEC/REB approval. 
Women of child bearing potential should be informed that taking the study medication may 
involve unknown risks to the fetus if pregnancy were to occur during the study and agree that 
in order to participate in the study they must adhere to the contraception requirement for the 
duration of the study. If there is any question that the patient will not reliably comply, they 
should not be entered in the study. 
11.4 
Discontinuation of the study 
Novartis reserves the right to discontinue this study under the conditions specified in the 
clinical study agreement. 
11.5 
Publication of study protocol and results 
Novartis assures that the key design elements of this protocol will be posted in a publicly 
accessible database such as clinicaltrials.gov. In addition, upon study completion and 
finalization of the study report the results of this study will be either submitted for publication 
and/or posted in a publicly accessible database of clinical study results. 
11.6 
Study documentation, record keeping and retention of 
documents 
Each participating site will maintain appropriate medical and research records for this trial, in 
compliance with Section 4.9 of the ICH E6 GCP, and regulatory and institutional 
requirements for the protection of confidentiality of subjects. As part of participating in a 
Novartis-sponsored study, each site will permit authorized representatives of the sponsor(s) 
and regulatory agencies to examine (and when required by applicable law, to copy) clinical 
records for the purposes of quality assurance reviews, audits and evaluation of the study 
safety and progress. 
Source data are all information, original records of clinical findings, observations, or other 
activities in a clinical trial necessary for the reconstruction and evaluation of the trial. 
Examples of these original documents and data records include, but are not limited to, hospital 
records, clinical and office charts, laboratory notes, memoranda, subjects’ diaries or 
evaluation checklists, pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated 
instruments, copies or transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate and 
complete, microfiches, photographic negatives, microfilm or magnetic media, x-rays, and 

Novartis

Amended Protocol Version 01 (Clean) 
 
Protocol No. CRAD001M2305 
 
subject files and records kept at the pharmacy, at the laboratories, and medico-technical 
departments involved in the clinical trial. 
Data collection is the responsibility of the clinical trial staff at the site under the supervision of 
the site Principal Investigator. The study case report form (CRF) is the primary data collection 
instrument for the study. The investigator should ensure the accuracy, completeness, 
legibility, and timeliness of the data reported in the CRFs and all other required reports. Data 
reported on the CRF, that are derived from source documents, should be consistent with the 
source documents or the discrepancies should be explained. All data requested on the CRF 
must be recorded. Any missing data must be explained. Any change or correction to a paper 
CRF should be dated, initialed, and explained (if necessary) and should not obscure the 
original entry. For electronic CRFs an audit trail will be maintained by the system. The 
investigator should retain records of the changes and corrections to paper CRFs. 
The investigator/institution should maintain the trial documents as specified in Essential 
Documents for the Conduct of a Clinical Trial (ICH E6 Section 8) and as required by 
applicable regulations and/or guidelines. The investigator/institution should take measures to 
prevent accidental or premature destruction of these documents. 
Essential documents (written and electronic) should be retained for a period of not less than 
fifteen (15) years from the completion of the Clinical Trial unless Sponsor provides written 
permission to dispose of them or, requires their retention for an additional period of time 
because of applicable laws, regulations and/or guidelines 
11.7 
Confidentiality of study documents and patient records 
The investigator must ensure anonymity of the patients; patients must not be identified by 
names in any documents submitted to Novartis. Signed informed consent forms and patient 
enrollment log must be kept strictly confidential to enable patient identification at the site. 
11.8 
Audits and inspections 
Source data/documents must be available to inspections by Novartis or designee or Health 
Authorities. 
11.9 
Financial disclosures 
Financial disclosures should be provided by study personnel who are directly involved in the 
treatment or evaluation of patients at the site - prior to study start. 
12 
Protocol adherence 
Investigators ascertain they will apply due diligence to avoid protocol deviations. Under no 
circumstances should the investigator contact Novartis or its agents, if any, monitoring the 
study to request approval of a protocol deviation, as no authorized deviations are permitted. If 
the investigator feels a protocol deviation would improve the conduct of the study this must 
be considered a protocol amendment, and unless such an amendment is agreed upon by 
Novartis and approved by the IRB/IEC/REB it cannot be implemented. All significant 
protocol deviations will be recorded and reported in the CSR.

Amendments to the protocol 
Any change or addition to the protocol can only be made in a written protocol amendment that 
must be approved by Novartis, Health Authorities where required, and the IRB/IEC/REB. 
Only amendments that are required for patient safety may be implemented prior to 
IRB/IEC/REB approval. Notwithstanding the need for approval of formal protocol 
amendments, the investigator is expected to take any immediate action required for the safety 
of any patient included in this study, even if this action represents a deviation from the 
protocol. In such cases, Novartis should be notified of this action and the IRB/IEC at the study 
site should be informed according to local regulations (e.g. UK requires the notification of 
urgent safety measures within 3 days) but not later than 10 working days.
