STUDY DESIGN 
This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, 3-period, 3-
treament, crossover pharmacokinetic study to evaluate the 
steady-state pharmacokinetics of 5 mg and 10 mg Corplex™ 
Donepezil TDS manufactured with the commercial process 
compared to 10 mg oral administration of Aricept® in healthy 
volunteers. 
The study will consist of a Screening Period, a Treatment 
Phase with 3 treatment periods and a Follow-Up Visit, as 
follows: 
• Screening Period: Subjects will undergo a Screening 
Period up to 28 days prior to entering the Treatment 
Phase. 
• Treatment Phase: Eligible subjects will participate in 3 
treatment periods each consisting of 36 days, without 
a washout between treatments. 
o Treatment A: 5 mg/day Donepezil 
Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) for 
5 consecutive weeks (7-day wear for each of 
the 5 patches). In Period 1, all enrolled 
subjects will receive Treatment A. The last 
(5th) patch will be removed on the morning of 
Day 36 (168 hours after the last patch 
application). No study drug will be 
administered on Day 36. 
During Period 1, the 5 mg/day Donepezil TDS as the first 
treatment of the study allows subjects to get accustomed to 
the potential cholinergic effects (5 mg/day for 1 week is the 
recommended starting dose before titrating up, to 10 mg/day). 
In this study, the 5 mg/day Donepezil TDS is administered for 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 10 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
5 weeks to reach steady state in order to measure the steady 
state pharmacokinetics in Week 5 to be compared with those 
after oral Aricept®. 
 
During Treatment Periods 2 and 3, the subjects will be 
randomized to receive either sequences of Treatments B-C or 
Treatments C-B. Subjects will receive the following 
treatments according to the randomization schedule. 
o Treatment B: 10 mg/day Donepezil TDS 
applied weekly (within ±1 hour of application 
time on Day 1) for 5 consecutive weeks  
o Treatment C: 10 mg Aricept® donepezil tablet 
administered QD for 5 weeks (within ±1 hour 
of dosing time on Day 1). 
Randomization to the 2 treatment sequences will be stratified 
by gender. 
For all oral doses and TDS applications, subjects will receive 
a light meal 30 minutes prior to dosing. Standard meals will 
be provided at appropriate times thereafter. Blood samples for 
pharmacokinetics and safety assessments will be collected 
during the Treatment Phase. 
 
See Treatment Phase Schematic (Section 2). 
In each period wherein the treatment consists of a patch, the 
subjects will wear a total of 5 patches (1 per week) for a total 
of 35 days (5 weeks). The last (5th) patch in the period will be 
removed after the morning blood draw on Day 36 (168-hour 
time point after the last patch in the period). No treatment will 
be administered on Day 36 of the period; additional post-wear 
PK blood samples will be collected on Day 36 after any patch 
treatment. 
 
In each period (Period 2 or 3) wherein the treatment consists 
of oral Aricept®, the subjects will receive an oral dose daily 
for a total of 35 days (5 weeks). The last oral dose in the 
period will be administered on the morning of Day 35. No 
treatment will be administered on Day 36 of the period; a PK 
blood sample will be collected in the morning of Day 36 at 
24 hours after the last oral dose. 
 
In Period 1, all subjects will wear patches (Treatment A). In 
Periods 2 and 3, subjects will either wear patches 
(Treatment B) or receive once-per-day oral Aricept® 
(Treatment C).  
o The treatment in Period 2 will start on the morning of 
Study Day 37 after the pre-dose blood draw for 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 11 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
Period 2 is collected. No treatment will be 
administered on Study Day 72. For the patch treatment 
in Period 2, the patch will be removed on Study 
Day 72 after the 168-hour blood sample collection. 
o The treatment in Period 3 will start on the morning of 
Study Day 73 after the pre-dose blood draw for 
Period 3 is collected. No treatment will be 
administered on Study Day 108. For the patch 
treatment in Period 3, the patch will be removed on 
Study Day 108 after the 168-hour blood sample 
collection. 
 
• Follow-Up Visit: 5 ±2 days after the day of the last 
oral drug administration or last TDS removal during 
the Treatment Phase, subjects will enter a Follow-Up 
Visit to evaluate safety parameters. 
There will be no washout phase between treatment 
periods (with the exception of Day 36 within each period 
to collect post-treatment PK blood samples). 
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE 
To evaluate the bioequivalence of steady-state donepezil 
plasma exposure following once-weekly treatments with 
10 mg/day Corplex™ Donepezil TDS compared to once-daily 
oral administration of 10 mg Aricept®.  
SECONDARY  
OBJECTIVES 
 
• To evaluate the bioequivalence of steady-state 
donepezil plasma exposure (after dose-normalization) 
following once-weekly treatments with 5 mg/day 
Corplex™ Donepezil TDS compared to once-daily 
oral administration of 10 mg Aricept®. 
• To evaluate the adhesion to the skin during the wear 
period of each once-weekly 5 mg/day and 10 mg/day 
Corplex™ Donepezil TDS application. 
SAFETY OBJECTIVE 
To evaluate the safety and tolerability (including local skin 
tolerability, which consists of Dermal Response and Other 
Effects) of once-weekly Corplex™ Donepezil TDS.  
NUMBER OF SUBJECTS 
An appropriate number of subjects will enter the Screening 
Period to enroll approximately 60 subjects to complete with 
48 subjects during the Treatment Phase.

(within ±1 hour of dosing time on Day 1). This is the 
Reference Listed Drug (RLD). 
 
See Treatment Phase Schematic (Section 2). 
In each period wherein the treatment consists of a patch, the 
subjects will wear a total of 5 patches for a total of 35 days 
(5 weeks). The last (5th) patch in the period will be removed 
after the morning blood draw on Day 36 (168-hour time 
point). No treatment will be administered on Day 36 of the 
period; additional post-wear PK blood samples will be 
collected on Day 36 after any patch treatment. 
 
In each period wherein the treatment consists of oral 
Aricept®, the subjects will receive an oral dose daily for a 
total of 35 days (5 weeks). The last oral dose in the period 
will be administered on the morning of Day 35. No treatment 
will be administered on Day 36 of the period; a PK blood 
sample will be collected in the morning of Day 36 at 24 hours 
after the last oral dose. 
 
In Period 1, all subjects will wear patches (Treatment A). In 
Periods 2 and 3, subjects will either wear patches (Treatment 
B) or receive once-per-day oral Aricept® (Treatment C).  
o The treatment in Period 2 will start on the morning of 
Study Day 37 after the pre-dose blood draw for 
Period 2 is collected. No treatment will be 
administered on Study Day 72. For the patch treatment 
in Period 2, the patch will be removed on Study 
Day 72 after the 168-hour blood sample collection. 
o The treatment in Period 3 will start on the morning of 
Study Day 73 after the pre-dose blood draw for Period 
3 is collected. No treatment will be administered on 
Study Day 108. For the patch treatment in Period 3, 
the patch will be removed on Study Day 108 after the 
168-hour blood sample collection. 
 
TDS Administration (Treatments A and B): 
• The pharmacy at the CRU will remove the TDS from 
refrigerated storage (2-8ºC) and place at room 
temperature storage (20-25ºC) on the day before 
application, no more than 24 hours prior to 
application. 
• The pharmacy at the CRU will prepare the Corplex™ 
Donepezil TDS for each subject (per the 
randomization and stratification scheme). Each TDS 
treatment will be applied to intact dry skin only on the 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 17 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
subject’s back weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. The 
most ideal naïve location on the back (back area that 
avoids the bra area and is slightly above the waistline 
is preferred) should be reserved for the last 5th patch of 
the treatment sequence. If this is not possible Sponsor 
approval should be obtained and documented to apply 
the TDS to a previously used site. 
• It is recommended that the TDS is applied to the 
subject within 120 minutes of opening/removing from 
the packaging. 
• Subjects will be instructed to shower from 1 to 2 hours 
prior to each TDS application. No more than 1 shower 
a day is permitted and if showers are not taken, the 
following will be performed within 1 to 2 hours prior 
to each TDS application: the application area will be 
washed with room temperature water using a wet 
washcloth. The application site will be patted dry and 
will be checked for irritancy.  
• The application area will be identified with a template 
overlay. The TDS will be placed at the designated 
application site and firm pressure will be applied 
immediately over the TDS for approximately 
20 seconds using the palm of the hand on each TDS to 
ensure adhesion. A new TDS should not be applied to 
an area of skin where a TDS was just removed. The 
area selected should not be oily, damaged, or irritated 
and should not be exposed to sunlight. 
• No taping of the transdermal delivery systems will be 
allowed. 
• The exact clock time of TDS application and removal 
will be recorded for the start and end of TDS 
application. During each TDS treatment, the next TDS 
will be applied as soon as the previous TDS was 
removed. The change in TDSs should be performed 
within 15 minutes. 
 
Oral Drug Administration (Treatment C): 
Study drug will be given orally and be administered with 
approximately 240 mL of water. Subjects will be instructed 
not to crush, split, or chew the study drug tablets. 
EVALUATION CRITERIA 
The evaluation criteria of the study are based on 
pharmacokinetic assessments, TDS adhesion assessments, and 
safety evaluations.

Adhesion: 
Trained observers will determine the adhesion of each TDS as 
the percentage of the total surface area that is adhered to the 
skin.

Safety:  
The Investigator will assess safety using the following 
parameters: physical examinations, vital sign assessments, 
clinical laboratory evaluations, C-SSRS evaluations, 
electrocardiograms, and skin tolerability assessments (Dermal 
Response and Other Effects). Subjects will be monitored for 
any adverse events (AEs) from the time of first drug 
administration through the Follow-Up Visit. 
 
STUDY PARAMETERS  
Pharmacokinetic 
Pharmacokinetic parameters at steady state (Week 5) 
calculated for plasma concentrations of donepezil and 6-O-
desmethyl donepezil (active metabolite) will include AUC0-
24,SS (daily AUC), AUC0-168,SS, Cmax, Cmin, Cavg, Ctau, percent 
peak-to-trough fluctuation (FLUCP). After oral 
administration, AUC0-24,SS will be calculated and multiplied 
by 7 to obtain AUC0-168,SS. 
 
Safety 
Safety will be assessed through 12-lead ECGs, vital sign 
measurements, clinical laboratory tests, suicidality monitoring 
(as per the C-SSRS), AEs, and physical examinations. Skin 
tolerability assessments will be performed for each TDS 
treatment prior to the TDS application and after removal of 
the TDS application. 
 
Adhesion 
Adhesion assessments of each TDS will be collected every 12 
hours during TDS wear as the percentage of the total surface 
area that is adhered to the skin, assessed in person by trained 
observers. With each consecutive measurement, observers 
will record the percentage based upon the actual measurement 
at each time point with the observer blinded to the previous 
recorded percentage finding. Tactile pressure to the TDS must 
not be applied during the adhesion determinations.  A grid 
overlay with boxes will be used to assist with estimating the 
% adhesion.  No taping of the TDS will be allowed. 
The time of full detachment of any TDS and its 0% adherence 
will be recorded, and the 0% adhesion will be assigned to all 
remaining adhesion time points of the current wear period. 
At each adhesion assessment time point, a photograph will be 
taken as evidence of the extent of TDS adhesion to the skin 
(as support of the visual observation of the adhesion 
percentage but not to be used for automated or photometric 
analysis). 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 20 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
Following removal of each TDS, the presence or absence of 
remaining adhesive residue will be recorded. 
 
Skin Tolerability 
Skin Tolerability assessments will be performed prior to the 
TDS application and after removal of the TDS application 
during each period. If application site score is other than a 0 
prior to TDS application, another site will need to be used. 
 
Residual Donepezil 
The used TDSs will be returned to Corium for residual drug 
analysis (inclusive of any TDS that will be replaced during 
the study). 
 
STATISTICAL 
ANALYSES 
Pharmacokinetics 
Plasma concentrations and PK parameters of donepezil and 6-
O-desmethyl donepezil will be tabulated using summary 
statistics. 
To examine the donepezil PK at steady state (Week 5 of 5 x 
1-week wear) after 5 and 10 mg/day TDS application 
compared to oral Aricept®, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) 
will be performed on the natural logarithms of AUC0-168,SS 
and Cmax. Dose-normalization will be applied as appropriate. 
Differences between each Test and Reference in the PK 
parameters will be tested at the 5% level of significance. 
 
Time to Steady State Assessment 
Assessment of time to achieve steady-state will be performed 
by a review of weekly donepezil trough levels (Ctau) at time 
points immediately prior to dosing on Days 15, 22, 29, and 36 
in each treatment period. The univariate analysis method 
described by Chow and Liu for examining when steady-state 
is attained will be implemented using log-transformed trough 
plasma concentrations. Modifications to the method for 
Treatment Periods 2 and 3 will be explained in the Statistical 
Analysis Plan (SAP),  to possibly adjust for the attainment of 
a new steady state after switching to a new treatment without 
a washout period after the previous treatment. 
 
Relative Bioavailability 
To examine the relative bioavailability at steady state of the 
5 and 10 mg/day TDS (Tests) relative to oral donepezil 
(Reference), plasma donepezil exposure as characterized by 
AUC0-168 at steady state will be assessed and compared 
utilizing bioequivalence criteria. 
Since the intention of the patch is to decrease the peak-to-

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 21 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
through fluctuations with lower Cmax after the patch 
application compared to daily oral Aricept dosing, rather than 
using the conventional bioequivalence criterion for Cmax, it is 
stipulated that  mean steady-state donepezil Cmax after patch 
administration should remain between the steady-state Cmax 
and Cmin after daily oral Aricept® administration. 
 
Safety 
Adverse events will be coded using the current version of 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities® (MedDRA). 
The numbers of subjects with AEs, serious AEs (SAEs), and 
AEs leading to withdrawal from the study will be summarized 
by Preferred Term and System Organ Class for each 
treatment. 
Continuous safety data will be summarized by observed value 
and by change from baseline at each scheduled assessment. 
Concomitant medications will be coded using the current 
version of World Health Organization drug dictionary and 
will be listed by subject. Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating 
Scale item responses will be listed and an overall summary of 
any suicidal ideation and behavior will be presented in tabular 
format. 
 
Adhesion 
TDS adhesion score results (percentage adhesion) for each 
TDS strength will be summarized separately for Weeks 1 
through 5 and across all wear periods (Weeks 1-5 combined) 
as follows: 
• Summary statistics (mean, SD, minimum, Q1, median, 
Q3, maximum) for the mean adhesion score, where 
the mean adhesion score for each patch is the average 
of the patch adhesion scores across the entire wear 
period.   
• Adhesion score distribution at each adhesion 
measurement time point post patch application (i.e., 
12, 24, …, and 168 hours) 
• Average adhesion score at each adhesion 
measurement time point post patch application 
• Number (%) of patches that are completely detached 
during the 7-day wear period 
• Number (%) of patches with adhesion <50% at any 
adhesion measurement time point during the 7-day 
wear period 
• Summary of frequency of time a patch was first 
observed with adhesion <50% during the 7-day wear 
period 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 22 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
• Number (%) of patches with adhesion ≥75% at all 
adhesion assessment time points during the 7-day 
wear period 
  
To assess whether at least 80% of the TDS applied are at least 
75% adhered throughout the 7-day wear period, a one-sided 
95% confidence interval will be determined for the 
probability (p) that a randomly selected TDS maintains at 
least 75% adhesion throughout the entire wear period. If the 
95% lower confidence limit for p is greater than 80%, 
acceptable TDS adhesion will be concluded. The method for 
the calculation of the 95% lower confidence limit and the 
justification of the method will be provided in the SAP. 
 
To calculate the mean adhesion score and associated statistics, 
the lowest adhesion score at each time point after the baseline 
time point (t0) will be carried forward to subsequent time 
points until a lower score is observed. 
 
Patch Detachment: 
If a TDS partially or fully detaches from the skin, actions to 
reapply a detached area of the TDS, to apply pressure to the 
TDS, or to reinforce TDS adhesion with the skin (e.g., taping) 
must be avoided throughout the study. TDS detachment must 
not be inappropriately inhibited (e.g., by the constant pressure 
applied by a person or an object such as the back of a chair). 
 
If a TDS fully detaches from the skin, the TDS must not be 
reapplied and no fresh TDS will be applied for the remainder 
of the intended wear period. The time of full detachment of 
any TDS and its 0% adherence will be recorded, and the 0% 
adhesion will be assigned to all remaining adhesion time 
points of the current wear period. 
 
Skin Tolerability Assessments: 
Dermal response scores, other effects numerical scores, and 
the combined skin irritation score (calculated as the sum of 
the dermal response and other effects scores) will be 
summarized by post removal time point (0.5, 24, 48, 72 hours 
post removal).  The Dermal Response scale combined with 
the Other Effects scale is what defines the Local Skin 
Tolerability Assessment. Whole number scores will be used. 
When evaluating a dermal response, at least 25% or more of 
the patch area should demonstrate an observable response. 
When multiple observable dermal responses are present, each 
observable response shall represent at least 25% or more of 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 23 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
the patch area. It is recommended when determining the 
percentage of patch area with an observable response, record 
each dermal response and determine if each one response 
represents at least 25% or more of the patch area. Skin 
irritation will be followed until skin tolerability scores are ≤1. 
Separate summaries by treatment and by post removal 
assessment time point will be provided.   
If a TDS detaches, the tolerability scores will be collected for 
the site from which the TDS was removed. 
 
Skin tolerability assessments will be performed prior to the 
TDS application and after removal of the TDS application 
during each period using the following scale:

1. ECG: A 12-lead ECG will be obtained after the subject has been in the supine position for at least 3 minutes. Abnormal 
ECGs may be repeated for confirmation in which case only the repeated ECG will be recorded. The QT interval corrected 
for heart rate will be calculated with Fridericia’s formula (QTcF). Vital sign measurements will be obtained after the 
subject has been seated for at least 3 minutes. Vital signs will include sitting blood pressure (systolic and diastolic 
measurements), pulse rate (beats per minute), respiratory rate (breaths per minute), and oral temperature.  
2. Vital signs will be collected prior to the first dose/application of each treatment period and weekly thereafter.  Temperature 
checks may be permitted daily. 
3. Hematology, Serum Chemistry, Coagulation Panel, and Urinalysis: Laboratory safety tests will be obtained at the 
Screening visit, Day -1, Day 36, Day 72, Day 109, and at the Early Termination visit. 
4. COVID-19 Testing: Subjects must have an inactive COVID-19 test at Screening and Day -1.  COVID-19 testing will occur 
weekly while subjects are housed in the clinic. Additional test may be conducted at the discretion of the Principle 
Investigator in consultation with the Medical Monitor. 
5. C-SSRS Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale Assessments will be performed at Screening, Day -1, Day 37, Day 72, 
Day 109, and the Early Termination visit. 
6. Drug Administration: 
In Period 1, all subjects will wear patches (Treatment A). In Periods 2 and 3, subjects will either wear patches (Treatment 
B) or receive once-per-day oral Aricept (Treatment C). There is a treatment-free day on Day 36 of each period. 
In each period wherein the treatment consists of a patch, the subjects will wear a total of 5 patches for a total of 35 days 
(5 weeks). The last (5th) patch in the period will be removed after the morning blood draw on Day 36 (168 hour time 
point after the last patch in the period). No treatment will be administered on Day 36 of the period. 
In each period (Period 2 or 3) wherein the treatment consists of oral Aricept, the subjects will take an oral dose daily 
for a total of 35 days (5 weeks). The last oral dose in the period will be administered on the morning of Day 35. No 
treatment will be administered on Day 36 in each period.

• The pharmacy at the CRU will remove the TDS from refrigerated storage (2-8ºC) and place at room temperature 
storage (20-25ºC) on the day before application to the skin, no more than 24 hours prior to application. 
• It is recommended that the TDS is applied to the subject within 120 minutes of opening/removing from the packaging. 
• Subjects will be instructed to shower from 1 to 2 hours prior to each TDS application. No more than 1 shower a day is 
permitted and if showers are not taken, the following will be performed within 1 to 2 hours prior to each TDS 
application, the application area will be washed with room temperature water using a wet washcloth. The application 
site will be patted dry and will be checked for irritancy.  
• The application area will be identified with a template overlay. The TDS will be placed at the designated application 
site and firm pressure will be applied immediately over the TDS for approximately 20 seconds using the palm of the 
hand on each TDS to ensure adhesion. A new TDS should not be applied to an area of skin where a TDS was just 
removed. The area selected should not be oily, damaged, or irritated and should not be exposed to sunlight. 
The exact clock time of TDS application and removal will be recorded for the start and end of TDS application. During 
each TDS treatment period, the next TDS will be applied as soon as the previous TDS was removed. The change in 
TDSs should be performed within 15 minutes. No taping of the Transdermal Delivery Systems will be allowed. 
7. PK Sampling (Days listed are within each period) The blood PK samples will be collected at the nominal time points listed 
below ±5 minutes for the first 24 hours and 10 minutes thereafter: 
Treatments A and B (patch applications): 
The following blood PK samples will be collected in 2 mL EDTA K2 lavender top tubes: 
• Week 1 (Days 1 to 7): Pre-TDS #1 application (Day 1), and at 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and 144 h after TDS #1 
application.

• Week 5: Day 29 Pre-Dose 
• Week 5: Day 35 Pre-Dose, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h after oral administration (the 24-h sample will be collected 
on Day 36). 
8. Adhesion Assessments: Treatment A and B only - To be performed prior to TDS removal and at specified timepoints. 
Adhesion assessments will be performed at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, and 168 hour following 
TDS application. The 168-hour assessment will be conducted prior to the next TDS application. Adhesion assessments will 
be performed in all periods within ± 1 hour of scheduled assessment. 
9. Irritation Assessments: Treatment A and B only - The site receiving the TDS should be assessed for skin irritation prior to 
TDS application (if the score is greater than zero another site must be selected) for Period 1. For TDS applied in during 
period 2 or 3, the site receiving the TDS should be assessed prior to TDS application (if the score is greater than zero 
another site must be selected) and the previous week’s TDS site should be assessed at 0.5, 24, 48 and 72 hours following 
TDS removal. If the score is greater than 1 at 72 hours, assessments are to be performed at the following time points until 
the score returns to <1: 120 and 168 hours post-removal and then every 3 days. For TDS applied in Week 5, the site 
receiving the TDS should be assessed prior to TDS application (if the score is greater than zero another site must be 
selected) and the previous week’s TDS site should be assessed at 0.5, 24, 48 and 72 hours following TDS removal.  
10. Skin Photography: Treatment A & B only - A photograph of the TDS will be taken in conjunction with the adhesion 
assessments.  Adhesion assessments will be performed at baseline and every 12 hours during TDS wear, and when the TDS 
is removed (including patch removal at or before Early Termination). 
11. TDS Removal: Treatment A and B only – TDS removal will occur on Day 8, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, and Day 36 of 
Period 1 and Days 44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 80, 87, 94, 101, and 108 for Period 2 and 3.  Immediately after removal, used TDSs 
will be collected and returned to the Sponsor. After TDS removal, the presence or absence of adhesive residue on the skin 
will be recorded. As soon as the TDS has been removed from the skin, the used TDS will be placed adhesive side down, on 
to a new release liner or folded in half and placed into a foil pouch. The sealed, labeled foil pouch and the corresponding 
original labeled patch pouch will then be inserted into a plastic bag and stored at approximately -20°C (-4°F) The used 
TDS will be shipped to the Sponsor, for residual drug determination. Additional instructions regarding application and 
removal of the TDS are provided in the Pharmacy Manual. 
12. Early Termination: Adhesion, tolerability and photos will be performed as needed if early termination occurs when the 
TDS is still being worn.

2. BACKGROUND 
2.1. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) 
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology, 
characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Due to the role of cholinergic forebrain projections 
in memory and learning, several researchers proposed a cholinergic hypothesis to explain at least 
some of the features of AD. In the cholinergic hypothesis, cholinergic neurons emanating from the 
basal forebrain (nucleus of Meynert) are selectively lost. A corollary of this hypothesis is that 
augmentation of available cholinergic input to the forebrain could ameliorate AD symptoms. One 
method to augment cholinergic input would be to increase the levels of acetylcholine (ACh) in the 
synaptic cleft by inhibiting its degradation by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). 
 
2.2. Donepezil 
Donepezil HCl is one of 5 drugs approved for the treatment of AD. Aricept® (donepezil HCl) is 
approved for the treatment of mild to severe AD, and is available as 5, 10, and 23 mg tablets. 
Donepezil is a reversible inhibitor of the enzyme AChE. Donepezil is postulated to exert its 
therapeutic effect by enhancing cholinergic function. This is accomplished by increasing the 
concentration of acetylcholine through reversible inhibition of its hydrolysis by AChE. While 
there is no evidence that donepezil alters the course of the underlying dementing process, 6 to 
12-month controlled studies have shown modest cognitive and/or behavioral benefits in patients 
with AD.  
 
Corium is developing CorplexTM Donepezil TDS, a matrix type transdermal patch that is 
designed for donepezil delivery over a 7-day wear period. A transdermal form of donepezil may 
benefit patients by potentially reducing gastrointestinal side effects (by bypassing the GI tract) 
and by improving treatment efficacy (through consistent, constant delivery, preventing missed 
doses and patient non-compliance).

1 The P-15086 Sub-Study was conducted as an amendment to Protocol No. P-15086. 
 
Across all Phase 1 studies conducted to date with Donepezil and CorplexTM Donepezil TDS (any 
formulation), no safety concerns specific to Donepezil or CorplexTM Donepezil TDS have been 
identified. Most systemic adverse effects have been consistent with those described in the package 
insert for Aricept. Application site-related AEs accounted for the greatest differences in AEs 
reported with CorplexTM Donepezil TDS versus those reported with Aricept (due to the nature of 
transdermal delivery system). The most frequently reported AEs considered related to the TDS were 
nausea, headache, application site pruritus, application site erythema, and nightmare. Headache and 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 32 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
nausea were also observed following treatment with oral Aricept. Application site-related AEs were 
largely mild in severity and skin irritation assessments demonstrated that most application site 
irritation was scored as not detected or mild and decreased over wear duration. In studies of 
CorplexTM Donepezil TDS there were not apparent differences in the incidence and quality of AEs 
reported for subjects using regimens that titrated doses (5 mg/day initial dose) upward to the 10 
mg/day target dose and those that did not titrate (initial dose was 10 mg/day). Both regimens yielded 
comparable adverse event profiles. 
With regard to the pharmacokinetics of donepezil after CorplexTM Donepezil TDS application, of 
note is Study P-15086 wherein bioequivalence was demonstrated between the registration batch of 
the CorplexTM Donepezil TDS (TDS A) and oral Aricept®. The mean steady state donepezil plasma 
concentration-time profiles after weekly donepezil TDS application (TDS A, 10 mg/day) and daily 
oral 10 mg/day Aricept are shown in Figure 1. In accordance with the long donepezil half-life of 
approximately 70 hours, steady state was reached by Day 29, at the beginning of Week 5 during 
which the steady state exposure was evaluated. In line with the intension of the TDS application to 
also decrease the peak-to-through fluctuations of plasma donepezil concentrations, a lower 
donepezil Cmax after the TDS application was observed compared to daily oral Aricept dosing. The 
mean steady-state donepezil concentrations after TDS application fell between the steady-state Cmax 
and Cmin after daily oral Aricept administration at most time points. 
Corium has made changes to the intended commercial manufacturing process including changes to 
increase the bond strength between the active layer and the overlay portion of the patch. Since these 
and other changes may be considered major differences compared to the process used for the clinical 
batch used in Study P-15086, the purpose of the current study is to demonstrate bioequivalence at 
steady state between the highest strength (10 mg/day) TDS manufactured with the new 
manufacturing process and oral 10 mg/day Aricept®. 
In clinical practice, some patients are taking 5 mg/day Aricept®, and donepezil-naïve patients 
typically receive 5 mg/day oral Aricept doses as a lead-in before safely escalating to a 10 mg/day 
dose. Therefore, Corium had also developed a 5 mg/day CorplexTM Donepezil TDS by using half 
the patch size as in the 10 mg/day TDS. The current study will therefore also evaluate the 
bioequivalence of steady-state donepezil plasma exposure (after dose-normalization) following 
once-weekly treatments with 5 mg/day CorplexTM Donepezil TDS compared to once-daily oral 
administration of 10 mg Aricept®. Bioequivalence is expected since it has been demonstrated that 
the pharmacokinetics of donepezil are linear over a dose range of 1-10 mg given once daily 
(Aricept® label, Eisai Inc, 2012). In addition, the 5-mg/day TDS application in the first study period 
for all subjects of the current study will allow safe escalation to 10 mg/day in the next study period. 
Refer to the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) for detailed background information on CorplexTM 
Donepezil TDS, and to the prescribing information for oral Aricept® (Aricept® label, Eisai Inc, 
2018).

4. STUDY RATIONALE 
The study is being conducted to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics of 5 mg/day and 10 
mg/day Corplex™ Donepezil TDS manufactured with the commercial process compared to 10 mg 
oral administration of Aricept® in healthy volunteers. 
5. STUDY OBJECTIVES 
5.1. Primary Objective 
To evaluate the bioequivalence of steady-state donepezil plasma exposure following once-weekly 
treatments with 10 mg/day Corplex™ Donepezil TDS compared to once-daily oral administration 
of 10 mg Aricept®. 
5.2. Secondary Objectives 
• To evaluate the bioequivalence of steady-state donepezil plasma exposure (after dose-
normalization) following once-weekly treatments with 5 mg/day Corplex™ Donepezil TDS 
compared to once-daily oral administration of 10 mg Aricept®.  
• To evaluate the adhesion to the skin during the wear period of each once-weekly 5 mg/day 
and 10 mg/day Corplex™ Donepezil TDS application 
5.3. Safety Objective 
To evaluate the safety and tolerability, including local skin tolerability (Dermal Response and Other 
Effects) of once-weekly Corplex™ Donepezil TDS. 
6. INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
6.1. Study Design 
This is a Phase 1, open-label, randomized, 3-period, 3-treament, crossover pharmacokinetic study 
to evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics of 5 mg/day and 10 mg/day Corplex™ Donepezil 
TDS manufactured with the commercial process compared to 10 mg oral administration of Aricept® 
in healthy volunteers.  
The study will consist of a Screening Period, a Treatment Phase with 3 treatment periods and a 
Follow-Up Visit, as follows: 
• Screening Period: Subjects will undergo a Screening Period up to 28 days prior to 
entering the Treatment Phase. 
 
• Treatment Phase: Eligible subjects will participate in 3 treatment periods each consisting 
of 36 days, without a washout between treatments.

o Treatment A: 5 mg/day Donepezil Transdermal Delivery System (TDS) for 5 
consecutive weeks (7-day wear for each of the 5 patches). In Period 1, all enrolled 
subjects will receive Treatment A. The last (5th) patch will be removed on the 
morning of Day 36 (168 hours after the last patch application). No study drug will 
be administered on Day 36. The 5 mg/day Donepezil TDS as the first treatment of 
the study allows subjects to get accustomed to the potential cholinergic effects (5 
mg/day for 1 week is the recommended starting dose before titrating up, to 10 
mg/day). In this study, the 5 mg/day Donepezil TDS is administered for 5 weeks to 
reach steady state in order to measure the steady state pharmacokinetics in Week 5 
to be compared with those after oral Aricept®. 
During Treatment Periods 2 and 3, the subjects will be randomized to receive either sequences of 
Treatments B-C or Treatments C-B. Subjects will receive the following treatments according to the 
randomization schedule. 
o Treatment B: 10 mg/day Donepezil TDS applied weekly (within ±1 hour of 
application time on Day 1) for 5 consecutive weeks  
 
o Treatment C: 10 mg Aricept® donepezil tablet administered QD for 5 weeks 
(within ±1 hour of dosing time on Day 1). 
 
Randomization to the 2 treatment sequences will be stratified by the subject’s gender.  For all oral 
doses and TDS applications, subjects will receive a light meal 30 minutes prior to dosing. Standard 
meals will be provided at appropriate times thereafter. Blood samples for pharmacokinetics and 
safety assessments will be collected during the Treatment Phase. 
In each period wherein the treatment consists of a patch, the subjects will wear a total of 5 patches 
for a total of 35 days (5 weeks). The last (5th) patch in the period will be removed after the morning 
blood draw on Day 36 (168-hour time point after the last patch in the period). No treatment will be 
administered on Day 36 of the period; additional post-wear PK blood samples will be collected on 
Day 36 after any patch treatment.  Because of the lag time of donepezil plasma concentrations after 
TDS application, the Cmax and Tmax values at steady state. in some subjects, may be observed after 
removal of the TDS (past 168 hours after TDS application). This is the reason why an additional 
day (Day 36 in each treatment period) was added to the PK sampling schedule, after TDS removal 
at the end of the TDS dosing interval (168 hours). 
In each period (Period 2 or 3) wherein the treatment consists of oral Aricept®, the subjects will an 
oral dose daily for a total of 35 days (5 weeks). The last oral dose in the period will be administered 
on the morning of Day 35. No treatment will be administered on Day 36 of the period; a PK blood 
sample will be collected in the morning of Day 36 at 24 hours after the last oral dose. 
In Period 1, all subjects will wear patches (Treatment A). In Periods 2 and 3, subjects will either 
wear patches (Treatment B) or receive once-per-day oral Aricept® (Treatment C).

o The treatment in Period 2 will start on the morning of Study Day 37 after the pre-
dose blood draw for Period 2 is collected. No treatment will be administered on 
Study Day 72. For the patch treatment in Period 2, the patch will be removed on 
Study Day 72 after the 168-hour blood sample collection. 
 
o The treatment in Period 3 will start on the morning of Study Day 73 after the pre-
dose blood draw for Period 3 is collected. No treatment will be administered on 
Study Day 108. For the patch treatment in Period 3, the patch will be removed on 
Study Day 108 after the 168-hour blood sample collection. 
 
• Follow-Up Visit: 5 ±2 days after the day of the last oral drug administration or last TDS 
removal during the Treatment Phase, subjects will enter a Follow-Up Visit to evaluate safety 
parameters. 
There will be no washout phase between treatment periods (with the exception of Day 36 within 
each period to collect post-treatment PK blood samples).

(RLD).See Section 2 for a treatment phase schematic. 
TDS Application: The first patch in each period with patch treatments (Treatment A or B) will be 
applied on Treatment Phase Days 1, 37, and 73. For patches #2 to #4, at the end of each week of 
patch wear (168 h after application), the worn patch will be removed and a new patch will be 
applied. The 168-h post-dose PK blood samples will be collected before removal of the worn patch. 
The last (5th) patch in each period with patch treatments (Treatment A or B) will be removed after 
168 hours of the last patch application, after the 168-h PK blood sample collection. 
Oral Dosing: In periods with oral Aricept (Treatment C), a single dose will be administered daily 
on Treatment Phase Days 37-71 (Period 2) and 73-107 (Period 3). 
Drug-Free Days: There is no study drug administration (neither patch wear nor oral dosing) on 
Treatment Phase Days 36, 72, and 108. 
In each period wherein the treatment consists of a patch, the subjects will wear a total of 5 patches 
for a total of 35 days (5 weeks). The last (5th) patch in the period will be removed after the morning 
blood draw on Day 36 (168-hour time point). No treatment will be administered on Day 36 of the 
period; additional post-wear PK blood samples will be collected on Day 36 after any patch 
treatment. 
In Period 1, all subjects will wear patches (Treatment A). In Periods 2 and 3, subjects will either 
wear patches (Treatment B) or receive once-per-day oral Aricept® (Treatment C).  
The treatment in Period 2 will start on the morning of Study Day 37 after the pre-dose blood draw 
for Period 2 is collected. No treatment will be administered on Study Day 72. For the patch 
treatment in Period 2, the patch will be removed on Study Day 72 after the 168-hour blood sample 
collection. 
The treatment in Period 3 will start on the morning of Study Day 73 after the pre-dose blood draw 
for Period 3 is collected. No treatment will be administered on Study Day 108. For the patch 
treatment in Period 3, the patch will be removed on Study Day 108 after the 168-hour blood sample 
collection. 
TDS Administration (Treatments A and B): 
The pharmacy at the CRU will remove the TDS from refrigerated storage (2-8ºC) and place at room 
temperature storage (20-25ºC) on the day before application, no more than 24 hours prior to 
application. The pharmacy at the CRU will prepare the Corplex™ Donepezil TDS for each subject 
(per the randomization and stratification scheme). Each TDS treatment will be applied to intact dry 
skin only on the subject’s back weekly for 5 consecutive weeks. The most ideal naïve location on 
the back (back area that avoids the bra area and is slightly above the waistline is preferred) should

Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 41 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
be reserved for the last TDS application of each period. If this is not possible Sponsor approval 
should be obtained and documented to apply the TDS to a previously used site. 
• It is recommended that the TDS is applied to the subject within 120 minutes of 
opening/removing from the packaging. 
• Subjects will be instructed to shower from 1 to 2 hours prior to each TDS application. No 
more than 1 shower a day is permitted and if showers are not taken, the following will be 
performed within 1 to 2 hours prior to each TDS application, the application area will be 
washed with room temperature water using a wet washcloth. The application site will be 
patted dry and will be checked for irritancy.  
• The application area will be identified with a template overlay. The TDS will be placed at 
the designated application site and firm pressure will be applied immediately over the TDS 
for approximately 20 seconds using the palm of the hand on each TDS to ensure adhesion. 
A new TDS should not be applied to an area of skin where a TDS was just removed. The 
area selected should not be oily, damaged, or irritated and should not be exposed to sunlight. 
• No taping of the transdermal delivery systems will be allowed. 
• The exact clock time of TDS application and removal will be recorded for the start and end 
of TDS application. During each TDS treatment, the next TDS will be applied as soon as 
the previous TDS was removed. The change in TDSs should be performed within 15 
minutes. 
Oral Drug Administration (Treatment C): 
Study drug will be given orally and be administered with approximately 240 mL of water. Subjects 
will be instructed not to crush, split, or chew the study drug tablets. 
8.2. Treatment Assignment 
At the start of Period 2, subjects will be randomized to one of the following treatments in Period 2. 
Subjects will receive the alternate treatment in Period 3. Randomization to the 2 treatment 
sequences will be stratified by gender using a computer-generated randomization scheme.  Study 
drug will be assigned to each subject on each dosing day based on the randomization scheme.  
8.3. Blinding 
This is an open-label pharmacokinetic study; therefore, study treatments will not be blinded.

medications and chronic conditions, past or present illnesses or dysfunctions, substance/drug abuse, 
and history of allergies or idiosyncratic responses to drugs. 
12.2. Physical Examination 
A complete physical examination including body weight will be completed for all subjects at 
Screening, at End-of-Treatment or Early Termination, and at the Follow-Up visits. The complete 
physical examination will include a review of the subject’s general appearance, skin, head and neck 
(eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and throat), lymph nodes, thyroid, musculoskeletal/extremities, 
cardiovascular system, lungs, abdomen and a brief examination of the neurological system. 
Height will be recorded in centimeters (cm) with the subject’s shoes removed. Body weight will be 
measured in kilograms (kg); subjects will remain in their normal clothing with shoes and jacket 
(and/or outer clothing) removed. 
12.3. Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) 
The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a brief questionnaire that provides for the 
identification, quantification and standardized assessment of the occurrences and severity of 
suicidal ideation and behavior (see http://cssrs.columbia.edu) (Posner 2011). The typical 
administration time is a few minutes. The “Baseline Version” of the C-SSRS will be assessed at 
Screening. The C-SSRS “Since Last Visit” version will be assessed at Day -1, Day 36, Day 72, Day 
109, and Early Termination. 
12.4. Vital Signs 
Vital sign measurements will be obtained after the subject has been seated for 3 minutes. Vital signs 
will include sitting blood pressure (systolic and diastolic measurements), pulse rate (beats per 
minute), respiratory rate (breaths per minute), and oral temperature. In order to ensure accuracy, 
out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once, at least 2 minutes after an abnormal finding. 
Vital signs will be collected at prior to the first dose/application and weekly thereafter.  Temperature 
checks may be permitted daily. 
12.5. 12-Lead Electrocardiogram 
A 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be obtained after the subject has been in a supine position 
for a minimum of 3 minutes. Abnormal ECGs may be repeated for confirmation in which case only

Fridericia’s formula (QTcF). 
ECGs will be obtained at Screening, Day -1, ET and EOS visit. 
12.6. Clinical Laboratory Measurements 
All clinical laboratory samples will be sent to a local laboratory for analysis. Up to approximately 
40 mL of blood will be collected for clinical chemistries, hematology, and pregnancy test (if 
applicable) from each subject during the study. During the Screening Period, Clinical Laboratory 
Measurements may be repeated at the discretion of the Investigator. 
The Clinical Laboratory evaluations will consist of the following: 
• Total Hematology as well as differential and Coagulation: red blood cell count, white 
blood cell count with differential (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, 
basophils), hemoglobin, hematocrit and platelets, Prothrombin Time (PT) and Partial 
Thromboplastin Time (PTT). 
• Serum Chemistry: aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), 
albumin, alkaline phosphatase, bicarbonate, total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen, 
phosphorus (inorganic) calcium, chloride, creatine phosphokinase, creatinine, gamma 
glutamyl transferase, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase, potassium, sodium, total protein, 
and uric acid. 
• Urinalysis: microanalysis for specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, 
nitrites, leukocytes. If positive for blood, protein or nitrites, a microscopic examination 
will be performed. 
• Serology: hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody and human immunodeficiency 
virus antibody. 
• Pregnancy Tests: will be performed for all female subjects. A serum β-hCG pregnancy 
test will be performed at Screening. A urine pregnancy test will be performed at check-
in, Day 36, Day 72, Day 109, and the Early Termination visit,. A positive pregnancy test 
will exclude a subject from enrollment into the study. A positive urine pregnancy test will 
be confirmed with a serum β-hCG pregnancy test. 
• Urine Screen for Alcohol, Drugs of Abuse: Urine samples will be tested for alcohol, drugs 
of 
abuse 
(amphetamines, 
methamphetamines, 
benzodiazepines, 
barbiturates, 
cannabinoids, cocaine, and opioids) at Screening and at check-in of the Treatment Phase.

• If a subject displays COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, or 
diarrhea). 
• If any subject is suspected of coming in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 positive 
person. 
• At the discretion of the Principle Investigator/in consultation with the Medical Monitor. 
A detailed site COVID-19 Continuity Plan could be provided to include guidance for testing 
frequency and related safety precautions. 
12.8. Adverse Event Assessments 
Adverse events (AEs) shall be monitored continuously from the administration of the first dose of 
study drug until either the Follow-Up or Early Termination visits as noted on the Schedule of 
Events.  AEs will be monitored continuously and solicited using a non-leading question 
immediately after dosing and at 1, 3, 5, 10, 24 hours post-dose, after all other procedures at each 
specified time are performed. Definitions and details of AE reporting and documentation are listed 
in Section 19.

h sample will be collected on Day 36. 
One hundred and four (104) blood samples will be collected during the entire treatment period. A 
total of approximately 316 mL blood per subject will be drawn for PK analysis. 
Detailed instructions for the collection, processing, storage and shipment of the plasma PK samples 
will be included in the Laboratory Manual. The date and time of collection of each PK sample will 
be recorded. 
13.2. Pharmacokinetic Sample Shipment 
The plasma samples will be transferred to the analytical laboratory after completion of the study or 
at mutually agreed upon time points during the clinical conduct of the study. Prior to shipment, the 
samples will be appropriately packed in a Styrofoam cooler containing dry ice. Sufficient dry ice 
will be added to ensure that the samples will remain frozen for at least 24 hours for local shipments 
and for at least 48 hours for remote shipments. The shipment will be accompanied by documentation 
containing the following information: name of the study drug product, protocol number, number of 
patients, and number of samples included in the shipment. 
All frozen PK samples will be transferred with accompanying documentation to: 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL

be recorded, and the 0% adhesion will be assigned to all remaining adhesion time points of the 
current wear period. No taping of the TDS will be allowed. 
At each adhesion assessment time point, a photograph will be taken as evidence of the extent of 
TDS adhesion to the skin (as support of the visual observation of the adhesion percentage but not 
to be used for automated or photometric analysis). 
Following removal of each TDS, the presence or absence of remaining adhesive residue will also 
be recorded. 
14.1. Patch Detachment 
If a TDS partially or fully detaches from the skin, actions to reapply a detached area of the TDS, to 
apply pressure to the TDS, or to reinforce TDS adhesion with the skin (e.g., taping) must be avoided 
throughout the study. TDS detachment must not be inappropriately inhibited (e.g., by the constant 
pressure applied by a person or an object such as the back of a chair). 
If a TDS fully detaches from the skin, the TDS must not be reapplied, and no fresh TDS will be 
applied for the remainder of the intended wear period. The time of full detachment of any TDS and 
its 0% adherence will be recorded, and the 0% adhesion will be assigned to all remaining adhesion 
time points of the current wear period. 
15. IRRITATION ASSESSMENTS/SKIN TOLERABILITY 
Dermal response scores, other effects numerical scores, and the combined skin irritation score 
(calculated as the sum of the dermal response and other effects scores) will be summarized by post 
removal time point (0.5, 24, 48, 72 hours post removal). Skin irritation will be followed until skin 
tolerability scores are ≤1. Separate summaries by treatment and by post removal assessment time 
point will be provided. Whole number scores will be used. When evaluating a dermal response, at 
least 25% or more of the patch area should demonstrate an observable response. When multiple 
observable dermal responses are present, each observable response shall represent at least 25% or 
more of the patch area. It is recommended when determining the percentage of patch area with an 
observable response, record each dermal response and determine if each one response represents at 
least 25% or more of the patch area. 
Skin tolerability assessments will be performed prior to the TDS application and after removal of 
the TDS application during each period using the following scale:

16. DISCONTINUATION AND REPLACEMENT OF SUBJECTS 
16.1. Withdrawal of Subjects from the Study 
A subject may be discontinued or choose to withdraw from study treatment at any time if the subject, 
the Investigator, or the Sponsor feels that it is not in the subject’s best interest to continue. The 
following is a list of possible reasons for study treatment discontinuation: 
• 
Subject withdrawal of consent. 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 65 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
• 
Subject is not compliant with study procedures. 
• 
Adverse event that in the opinion of the Investigator would be in the best interest of the 
subject to discontinue study treatment. 
• 
Protocol violation requiring discontinuation of study treatment. 
• 
Lost to follow-up. 
• 
Sponsor request for early termination of the study. 
• 
Positive pregnancy test (females). 
• 
Out-of-range vital signs, at the discretion of the Investigator. In order to ensure accuracy, 
out-of-range vital signs may be repeated once, at least 2 minutes after an abnormal 
finding. 
• 
For other reasons (e.g., Investigator/Sponsor request, inappropriate behavior, social 
reasons). 
 
If a subject is withdrawn from treatment due to an adverse event, the subject will be followed and 
treated by the Investigator until the abnormal parameter or symptom has resolved or stabilized. 
All subjects are free to withdraw from participation at any time, for any reason, specified or 
unspecified, and without prejudice. 
16.2. Withdrawal of Subjects Post-Dose Study Drug 
If a subject meets withdrawal criteria post-dose during the Treatment Phase, the subject will 
complete, if possible, all study procedures after the current (last) administration of study drug 
(including PK sample collections) before starting Early Termination procedures. The subject will 
be withdrawn and Early Termination procedures will be completed prior to the subject’s discharge 
from the clinic. 
At the discretion of the Investigator, ensuring the safety of the subjects, any ET procedures that 
were already performed on the same day as part of the procedures of the current treatment phase, 
do not need to be repeated. 
The Sponsor may be contacted if clarification is required on a case-by-case basis. 
16.3. Replacement of Subjects  
Treated subjects who discontinue treatment or withdraw early from the study will not be 
replaced.  
17. STATISTICAL METHODS 
More details of the statistical analyses will be defined in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). Prior 
to the analysis of the final study data, a detailed SAP will be written describing all analyses that will 
be performed.

October 26, 2020 
 
17.1. Analysis Populations 
There are 5 populations in this study: 
Randomized Population: all subjects who signed the informed consent form and are assigned a 
randomization number on Day 1 of Treatment Period 1, prior to the first dose of study drug. 
Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all randomized subjects who take a least 1 dose of study drug. 
Demographics and baseline characteristics will be summarized for the ITT population. 
Pharmacokinetic Per-Protocol (PK-PP) Population: all ITT subjects for a particular treatment 
without any major protocol deviations that could affect the pharmacokinetic endpoint for that 
particular treatment, who received adequate treatment to reach steady state for donepezil in the 
particular treatment (for example, adequate TDS wear), and who provide the plasma concentrations 
required to calculate the donepezil AUC0-168,SS after a particular treatment. Detailed criteria for the 
PK-PP Population will be listed in the SAP. Demographics and baseline characteristics will be 
summarized for the PK-PP Population by treatment. Data from the PK-PP Population will be used 
for PK data listings, with descriptive statistics, and for statistical comparison between the treatments 
in the Test Products and the Reference. 
Safety Population: all randomized subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug and who 
have at least one safety assessment. Safety measures will be analyzed for all subjects in the Safety 
Population. 
Adhesion Per-Protocol (ADH-PP) Population: The ADH-PP population will be based on the 
number of TDSs applied (instead of the number of subjects). All TDSs applied will be part of the 
ADH-PP Population except those that were intentionally removed early in the trial (e.g., because of 
unacceptable irritation) or from subjects who discontinued use of a TDS before the end of the 7-day 
wear period for reasons unrelated to adhesion (e.g., because of a protocol violation or an adverse 
event). Individual case reports describing any subjects/TDS who were excluded from the ADH-PP 
Population, and the reasons for their exclusion, will be included in the clinical study report. The 
ADH-PP Population will be used for the summaries and statistics of adhesion data. 
17.2. Determination of Sample Size 
An adequate number of subjects (approximately 60 subjects) will be enrolled in the study to plan 
for 48 subjects to complete all study periods. This sample size was based on results of a previous 
steady-state study comparing 10 mg/day donepezil TDS to oral 10 mg/day donepezil (Study CL-P-
15086) that showed an AUC geometric mean ratio of 1.04 and a coefficient of variation of 29.3%. 
The calculated sample size of 48 subjects is estimated to show at least 90% power to assess 
bioequivalence within the limits of 80 to 125% for the geometric mean ratio if the true expected 
geometric mean ratio is 1.05 (assuming a coefficient of variation of 29%) for AUC. 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 67 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
Based on adhesion scores from previous studies with the donepezil TDS, the planned sample size 
of the current study should be more than adequate to demonstrate, based on a one-sided lower 95% 
confidence interval created with 80% power, that >80% of patches are adhered for at least 75% 
throughout the wear period. 
17.3. Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
17.3.1. Pharmacokinetic Parameters 
PK parameters will be calculated for the PP population from plasma concentrations of donepezil 
and 6-O-desmethyl donepezil (active metabolite) using standard, non-compartmental methods 
using Phoenix® WinNonlin® (Version 8.3 or higher, Certara USA, Inc., Princeton, NJ). 
Pharmacokinetic parameters at steady state (Week 5) will include AUC0-24,SS (daily AUC), AUC0-
168,SS, Tlag, Cmax, Cmin, Cavg, Ctrough, Ctau, percent peak-to-trough fluctuation (FLUCP). After oral 
administration, AUC0-24,SS will be calculated and multiplied by 7 to obtain AUC0-168,SS. In some 
subjects, because of the lag time, the Cmax and Tmax values at steady state may be observed after 
removal of the TDS (past 168 hours after TDS application). Additional PK parameters will be 
reported (see SAP for details). 
Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve will be calculated by the linear trapezoidal 
rule. Concentrations that are below the limit of quantification (BLQ) will be treated as zero in the 
data summarization and descriptive statistics. In the pharmacokinetic analysis, BLQ concentrations 
will be treated as zero from time zero up to the time at which the first quantifiable concentration is 
observed; embedded and/or terminal BLQ concentrations will be treated as “missing. 
17.3.2. Descriptive Statistics for Pharmacokinetics 
For the plasma concentrations at each time point and for each PK parameter, parametric and 
nonparametric descriptive statistics will be calculated. Parametric descriptive statistics include 
number of subjects (n), arithmetic mean and standard deviation (SD), and percent coefficient of 
variation (%CV). Nonparametric descriptive statistics include minimum, Q1 (25th percentile), 
median, Q3 (75th percentile), and maximum. Individual plasma concentrations and PK parameters 
and descriptive statistics by treatment will be listed. 
PK parameters of exposure (concentrations and AUCs) after the 5 mg/day TDS application will be 
multiplied by 2 to adjust for the lower dose (dose-normalization) before comparison to the 
10 mg/day treatments. 
17.3.3. Plasma Concentration-Time Plots 
Individual subject and mean plasma concentration-time profiles will be plotted for donepezil by 
treatment on linear and logarithmic concentration axes.

October 26, 2020 
 
17.3.4. Statistical PK Comparison between Treatments  
Statistical comparison of the PK parameters of exposure (AUC0-24,SS, AUC0-168,SS, Cmax, Cmin, Ctau, 
percent peak-to-trough fluctuation (FLUCP).) at steady state for donepezil among the 3 treatments 
will be performed using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) model for a 3-way crossover design on 
the ln-transformed data with sequence, period and treatment as the fixed effects and subject within 
sequence as a random effect. A statistically significant difference is defined as p <0.05. Intersubject, 
intrasubject and total variability (coefficient of variation in percent, CV%) of the PK parameters 
will be reported. 
PK parameters of exposure (concentrations and AUCs) after the 5 mg/day TDS application will be 
multiplied by 2 to adjust for the lower dose (dose-normalization) before statistical comparison to 
the 10 mg/day treatments. 
17.3.5. Time to Steady State Assessment 
Assessment of time to achieve steady-state will be performed by a review of weekly donepezil 
trough levels (Ctau) at time points immediately prior to dosing on Days 15, 22, 29, and 36 in each 
treatment period. The univariate analysis method described by Chow and Liu for examining when 
steady-state is attained will be implemented using log-transformed trough plasma concentrations. 
Modifications to the method for Treatment Periods 2 and 3 will be explained in the SAP,  to possibly 
adjust for the attainment of a new steady state after switching to a new treatment without a washout 
period after the previous treatment. 
17.3.6. Statistical Assessment of Relative Bioavailability 
To examine the relative bioavailability at steady state of the 5 and 10 mg/day TDS (Tests) relative 
to oral donepezil (Reference), plasma donepezil exposure as characterized by AUC0-168,SS will be 
assessed and compared utilizing bioequivalence criteria. The least squares geometric means 
(LSGM) of the PK parameters for each treatment will be reported. Point estimates and 90% 
Confidence Intervals (CI) for the Test to Reference ratios of geometric means will be provided. 
Similar bioavailability for donepezil will be concluded if the 90% CIs of the LSGMs lie within the 
acceptable range of 0.80 to 1.25 for AUC0-168,SS. Forest plots presenting the point estimate and 90% 
confidence intervals for AUC0-168,SS will be constructed for the comparisons between the 5 mg/day 
and 10 mg/day donepezil TDS applications (Tests) and oral Aricept® (Reference). 
Since the intention of the patch is to decrease the peak-to-through fluctuations with lower Cmax 
after the patch application compared to daily oral Aricept dosing, rather than using the conventional 
bioequivalence criterion for Cmax, it is stipulated that mean steady-state donepezil Cmax after patch 
administration should remain between the steady-state Cmax and Cmin after daily oral Aricept® 
administration.

17.4. Adhesion Analysis 
TDS adhesion score results (percentage adhesion) for each TDS strength will be summarized 
separately for Weeks 1 through 5 and across all wear periods (Weeks 1-5 combined) as follows: 
• Summary statistics (mean, SD, minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum) for the mean 
adhesion score, where the mean adhesion score for each patch is the average of the patch 
adhesion scores across the entire wear period. 
• Adhesion score distribution at each adhesion measurement time point post patch application 
(i.e., 12, 24, …, and 168 hours). 
• Average adhesion score at each adhesion measurement time point post patch application. 
• Number (%) of patches that are completely detached during the 7-day wear period. 
• Number (%) of patches with adhesion <50% at any adhesion measurement time point during 
the 7-day wear period. 
• Summary of frequency of time a patch was first observed with adhesion <50% during the 
7-day wear period. 
• Number (%) of patches with adhesion ≥75% at all adhesion assessment time points during 
the 7-day wear period 
To assess whether at least 80% of the TDS applied are at least 75% adhered throughout the 7-day 
wear period, a one-sided 95% confidence interval will be determined for the probability (p) that a 
randomly selected TDS maintains at least 75% adhesion throughout the entire wear period. If the 
95% lower confidence limit for p is greater than 80%, acceptable TDS adhesion will be concluded. 
The method for the calculation of the 95% lower confidence limit and the justification of the method 
will be provided in the SAP. 
To calculate the mean adhesion score and associated statistics, the lowest adhesion score at each 
time point after the baseline time point (t0) will be carried forward to subsequent time points until a 
lower score is observed. 
17.5. Subject Disposition and Demographic/Baseline Characteristics 
The numbers of subjects screened, the number of subjects randomized overall (Randomized 
Population) and per treatment sequence group, and the number of subjects in the ITT and PP 
populations overall and by treatment sequence group will be listed. Differences between the number 
of subjects in the analysis populations will be explained. For randomized subjects who discontinue 
from the study, the primary reason for discontinuation will be listed and summarized by treatment 
after which they discontinued. 
Summary statistics will be provided by treatment sequence and overall for demographic 
characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race, and ethnicity) and baseline characteristics (e.g., body weight, 
height, BMI) in the ITT and PP populations. Demographic data and baseline characteristics will be 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL

Page 70 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
compared among treatment sequence groups for the ITT and PP population. 
17.6. Safety Analysis 
All analyses of safety will be conducted on the Safety Population. The safety assessment will be 
based on adverse events, physical exams, vital signs, ECG parameters, C-SSRS, safety laboratory 
tests, and irritation scores (for treatments with TDS). 
Adverse events will be coded in accordance with the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA). Adverse events with new onset during the study between the initiation of study drug 
and 5 days after the last dose of study drug will be considered treatment-emergent (TEAEs). This 
will include any AE with onset prior to initiation of study drug and increased severity after the 
treatment initiation. 
Treatment-emergent adverse events will be summarized by system organ class and preferred term, 
and by treatment. This will include overall incidence rates (regardless of severity and relationship 
to study drug), and incidence rates for moderate or severe adverse events. A summary of serious 
adverse events, and adverse events leading to early discontinuation from the study will be presented 
through data listings. 
Safety laboratory tests and vital signs will be summarized by post-treatment change from baseline 
for each of the parameters using descriptive statistics by treatment group. Those subjects with 
significant laboratory abnormalities will be identified in data listings. Additional safety parameters 
will be summarized in data listings. 
17.7. Interim Analysis 
No interim analysis is planned for this study. 
18. ADVERSE EXPERIENCE REPORTING AND DOCUMENTATION 
18.1. Adverse Events 
18.1.1. Recording and Monitoring of Adverse Events 
For the purpose of this clinical trial, all Adverse Events will be recorded and monitored for all 
enrolled subjects from the moment they receive the dose of study drug until they complete the study 
at the EOS (the Follow-Up visit or the Early Termination Visit). 
18.1.2. Definition 
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation of a patient 
administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with 
the treatment. An AE is therefore any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 71 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the administration of an 
investigational product, whether or not related to that investigational product. An unexpected AE is 
one of a type not identified in nature, severity, or frequency in the current Investigator’s Brochure 
or of greater severity or frequency than expected based on the information in the Investigator’s 
Brochure. 
The Investigator or designee will probe, via discussion with the subject, for the occurrence of AEs 
during each subject visit and record the information in the site’s source documents. Adverse events 
will be recorded in the patient CRF. Adverse events will be described by duration (start and stop 
dates and times), severity, outcome, treatment and relation to study drug, or if unrelated, the cause. 
18.1.3. AE Grading  
The severity of each AE will be graded by the investigator using the following categories: 
Mild 
Does not interfere with subject’s usual function (awareness of symptoms or signs, but 
easily tolerated [no specific medical intervention required]). 
Moderate 
Interferes to some extent with subject’s usual function (enough discomfort to interfere 
with usual activity [minimal intervention; local intervention; noninvasive 
intervention]). 
Severe 
Interferes significantly with subject’s usual function (incapacity to work or to do usual 
activities [significant symptoms requiring hospitalization or invasive intervention]). 
 
If there is a change in severity of an AE, only the maximum severity of the AE should be 
recorded. 
The investigator will describe the action taken in the appropriate section of the eCRF, as follows: 
• None 
• Study product stopped 
• Study product temporarily interrupted 
• Concomitant medication 
• Other, specify 
18.1.4. AE Relationship to Study Drug 
The relationship of an AE to the study drug should be assessed using the following: 
1. Definitely - Previously known toxicity of agent; or an event that follows a reasonable 
temporal sequence from administration of the drug; that follows a known or expected 
response pattern to the suspected drug; that is confirmed by stopping or reducing the dosage 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 72 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
of the drug; and that is not explained by any other reasonable hypothesis. 
2. Probably - An event that follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of the 
drug; that follows a known or expected response pattern to the suspected drug; that is 
confirmed by stopping or reducing the dosage of the drug; and that is unlikely to be 
explained by the known characteristics of the subject’s clinical state or by other 
interventions. 
3. Possibly - An event that follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of the 
drug; that follows a known or expected response pattern to that suspected drug; but that 
could readily have been produced by a number of other factors. 
4. Unrelated - An event that can be determined with certainty to have no relationship to the 
study drug. 
18.2. Serious Adverse Events 
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any AE occurring at any dose that results in any of 
the following outcomes: 
• Death 
• A life-threatening adverse experience 
• Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• A persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• A congenital anomaly/birth defect 
• Other important medical events may also be considered an SAE when, based on 
appropriate medical judgment, they jeopardize the subject or require intervention 
to prevent one of the outcomes listed. 
 
Other important medical events may also be considered an SAE when, based on appropriate medical 
judgment, they jeopardize the subject or require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed. 
Note that AEs of Grade 3 due to hospitalization or prolongation of a hospitalization, and Grade 4 
and Grade 5 per CTCAE grading criteria are classified as SAEs. 
18.2.1. Serious Adverse Event Reporting 
Within 24 hours after a SAE detection, observation, or report of occurrence (regardless of the 
relationship to test article), the Investigator or designee will enter the SAE into the electronic 
database. The investigator/qualified designee will enter the required information regarding the SAE 
into the appropriate module of the eCRF, which will automatically result in distribution of the 
information to the appropriate sponsor contact. If the EDC system is temporarily unavailable, the 
event, including the investigator-determined causality to study drug, should be reported via a paper 
back-up SAE form to the appropriate sponsor contact. Upon return of the availability of EDC 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL 
Corium, Inc. 
 
Page 74 of 78 
 
October 26, 2020 
 
the alert reports per FDA regulations. 
18.3. Adverse Event Treatment and Follow-up 
All AEs, including SAEs, will be followed to resolution when possible. All AEs and treatment 
administered will be recorded on the case report form (eCRF). Treatment may be rendered on site 
under the direction of the Investigator as appropriate. Events requiring diagnostic evaluation or 
treatment beyond the scope of what is available and appropriate within the clinical research unit 
shall be referred in a timely basis to other care providers. Records of diagnostic and therapeutic 
interventions shall be requested in compliance with HIPAA requirements, and those received shall 
be retained in the subject’s file. 
SAE assessment, treatment, and follow up shall be performed up to at least 30 days after last dose 
for events considered definitely, probably, or possibly related to study drug, and continue until 
resolved or clinically stable. 
19. PREGNANCY 
Females with a positive pregnancy test will terminate the study early (Section 10.5). The initial 
report of a pregnancy during the study will be provided to the sponsor within 24 hours of the incident 
identification and to the IRB within a time frame after the incident identification as required by the 
IRB. 
All pregnancies will be followed to at least the completion/termination of the pregnancy. The 
Investigator will document the subject visits accordingly and record the information in the clinical 
site’s source documents. If the pregnancy continues to delivery, the outcome (health of the infant), 
in addition to the maternal health status, must be included in the report. 
Pregnancy will not be considered an AE or SAE; any pregnancy complication or termination of a 
pregnancy for medical reasons will be recorded as an AE or SAE. 
20. PROTOCOL VIOLATIONS 
A protocol violation occurs when the subject, Investigator, or Sponsor fails to adhere to significant 
protocol requirements that materially (a) reduces the quality or completeness of the data, (b) makes 
the Informed Consent Form inaccurate, or (c) impacts a subject's safety, rights, or welfare. 
Examples of protocol violations may include the following: 
1. Inadequate or delinquent Informed Consent 
2. Inclusion/exclusion criteria not met 
3. Unreported serious adverse events 
4. Multiple visits missed or outside permissible windows 
5. Materially inadequate record keeping 
6. Intentional deviation from protocol, Good Clinical Practice, or regulations by study

personnel 
7. Subject repeated non-compliance with study requirements 
 
It is the Investigator’s responsibility to report to the IRB of any Protocol Violation(s) according to 
the IRBs policy. Copy of the IRB submission will be filed in the site’s regulatory binder and in the 
Sponsor’s files. 
21. DATA MANAGEMENT AND RECORD KEEPING 
21.1. Data Management 
Data will be recorded at the site on CRFs. All entries on a CRF are ultimately the responsibility of 
the Investigator, who is expected to review each form for completeness, accuracy and legibility 
before signing. All forms must be filled out by using black ink. Errors should be lined out but not 
obliterated and the correction inserted, initialed and dated. A CRF must be completed for each 
participant who has given informed consent. The CRFs and source documents must be made 
available to Sponsor and/or its representatives. 
21.2. Record Keeping 
The Investigator must maintain all documents and records, originals or certified copies of original 
records, relating to the conduct of this trial, and necessary for the evaluation and reconstruction of 
the clinical trial. This documentation includes, but is not limited to protocol, CRFs, AE reports, 
subject source data (including records of subjects, subject visit logs, clinical observations and 
findings), correspondence with health authorities and IRB, consent forms, inventory of study 
product, Investigator’s curriculum vitae, monitor visit logs, laboratory reference ranges and 
laboratory certification or quality control procedures and laboratory director curriculum vitae. 
The Investigator and affiliated Institution should maintain the trial documents as required by the 
applicable regulations. The Investigator and affiliated Institution should take measures to prevent 
accidental or premature destruction of documents. Clinical trial documents must be kept in the 
clinical site’s archives indefinitely, unless written authorization is obtained from the Sponsor. 
21.3. Access to Source Data/Documents 
The Investigator and research Institution agree that the Sponsor, their representatives, the IRB, and 
representatives from worldwide regulatory agencies will have the right, both during and after the 
clinical trial, to review and inspect pertinent medical records related to the clinical trial. 
22. QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
By signing the protocol, the Institution and the Sponsor agree to be responsible for implementing 
and maintaining quality control and quality assurance systems with written standard operating 
procedures to ensure that trials are conducted and data are generated, documented, and reported in 

Protocol CL-P-20003 Amendment #1 CONFIDENTIAL

compliance with the protocol, accepted standards of Good Clinical Practice. (GCP), ICH and other 
applicable regulations. 
23. ETHICS AND GOOD CLINICAL PRACTICE COMPLIANCE 
Good Clinical Practice is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, 
conducting, recording, and reporting trials that involve human subjects. Compliance with this 
standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and wellbeing of trial subjects are 
protected, consistent with the principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, and 
that the clinical trial data are credible. In this study, the 2008 version of the Declaration of Helsinki 
will be adhered to. It can be found on the website of The World Medical Association: 
http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/17c.pdf 
24. PUBLICATION POLICY 
Confidentiality, presentation, and publication of manuscripts containing the study data, and patent 
applications related to unpublished study-related information and unpublished information given to 
the Investigator by the Sponsor and/or its representatives shall be handled as set forth in a mutual 
written agreement between the Sponsor and the Institution. The publication or presentation of any 
study results shall comply with all applicable privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the Health 
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. 
25. FINANCING AND INSURANCE 
25.1. Finances 
Prior to starting the study, the Principal Investigator and/or Institution will sign an agreement with 
the Sponsor related to conducting the clinical trial. This agreement will include the financial 
information agreed upon by the parties. 
25.2. Insurance Compensation 
The Sponsor certifies that it has taken out a liability insurance policy covering all clinical trials 
under its sponsorship. This insurance policy is in accordance with local laws and requirements. The 
insurance of the Sponsor does not relieve the Investigator and the other collaborators from 
maintaining their own liability insurance policy. An insurance certificate will be provided to the 
IRB according to regulatory requirements. 
26. COMPLETION OF STUDY 
The end of the study will be at the time of the last subject, last visit. The IRB will be notified about 
the end of the study according to regulatory requirements.

27. STUDY ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 
27.1. Protocol Amendments 
Any amendments to the study protocol considered to be a substantial amendment will be 
communicated to the Investigator by the Sponsor. All substantial protocol amendments will 
undergo the same review and approval process as the original protocol and may be implemented 
after it has been approved by the IRB, unless immediate implementation of the change is necessary 
for subject safety. In this case, the situation must be documented and reported to the IRB according 
to all relevant regulatory requirements. 
A protocol amendment is considered to be a substantial amendment if it is likely to affect the safety, 
physical, or mental integrity of subjects in the study; the scientific value of the study; the conduct 
or management of the study; or the quality or safety of any Investigational Medicinal Product used 
in the study. 
Any other minor changes to the protocol not considered to be substantial amendments will not need 
prior approval of the IRB and will be communicated to the Investigator by the Sponsor.
