Objectives 
Primary 
: To determine the rates and routes of excretion of [14C]BTZ-043-related 
radioactivity, including mass balance of total drug-related radioactivity in urine 
and feces (and vomit, if applicable), following the oral administration of a single 
500 mg dose of [14C]BTZ-043 in healthy male volunteers. 
 
: To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of total radioactivity in blood and in 
plasma. 
 
: To characterize the plasma PK of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by liquid 
chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), if applicable. 
 
: To characterize the urine concentrations of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by 
LC-MS, if applicable. 
Secondary 
: To assess the safety and tolerability of a single 500 mg oral dose of BTZ-043 
administered to healthy volunteers. 
Exploratory 
: To identify BTZ-043’s metabolites in plasma, and to quantify metabolites not 
measured in the primary objectives by radiometry in order to elucidate key 
biotransformation pathways and clearance mechanisms of BTZ-043 in humans.

: To identify BTZ-043’s metabolites in excreta (urine and feces) and to quantify 
metabolites not measured in the primary objectives by radiometry in order to 
elucidate key biotransformation pathways and clearance mechanisms of BTZ-
043 in humans. 
 
Design and Treatments 
This study is a Phase 1, single-center, open-label study to investigate the absorption, metabolism, and 
excretion of BTZ-043 after a single oral administration of 500 mg BTZ-043 containing 3.7 MBq of 
[14C]BTZ-043 in 4 healthy adult male subjects. 
 
A total of 4 evaluable subjects completing all procedures are required. Six (6) subjects will be enrolled in the 
cohort in order to have 4 evaluable subjects. If the cohort of 4 subjects administered with 500 mg BTZ-043 
containing 3.7 MBq of [14C]BTZ-043 leads to less than 4 evaluable subjects, the 2 back-up subjects can be 
dosed subsequently to ensure that 4 subjects have completed all study procedures and are evaluable. If any 
of the 4 subjects vomits within 4 hours after study drug administration (approximately 2 times the median 
Tmax of BTZ-043), the subject will be replaced. The 2 back-up subjects will stay in the clinical research center 
until the morning of Day 2. 
 
The study will consist of a screening period (Day -21 to -2), a baseline period (Day -1), a single dose 
treatment on Day 1 with a minimum of 96 hours (=4 days) post dose in-house observation period (Days -1 
up to afternoon Day 5), and a follow-up visit 30 days (±2 days) after the [14C]BTZ-043 dose. The subjects 
will be admitted to the clinical site on Day -1, at least 17 hours before the administration of [14C]BTZ-043 for 
baseline evaluation. Subjects will be administered a single 500 mg [14C]BTZ-043 dose as drinking 
suspension. Subjects will be confined to the clinical site for at least 96 hours following drug administration 
(ie, afternoon of Day 5). During this time, blood, feces, and urine samples for measurement of [14C]BTZ-043 
and metabolites will be collected. The radioactivity excreted in urine and feces as well as radioactivity in 
blood and plasma should be measured and the data should be communicated daily to Matthias Bader or his 
designee. The subjects will be released from the clinic approximately 96 hours to 168 hours after dose 
administration and upon satisfactory recovery of radioactivity (at least 90%) approved by the Sponsor’s 
scientific advisor after consulation of the Sponsor. This will depend on the radioactivity excretion balance as 
assessed by a normal counting method or real time rapid analysis on site (‘quick counting’ procedure, 
utilizing liquid scintillation counter, or sample combustion apparatus) of radioactivity in plasma, urine, and 
feces accumulated until 96 hours, as feasible. The data has to be available before subjects will be released 
from the clinic.  
 
The in-house period should be prolonged up to the morning of Day 8 if at least 1 of the following applies: 
 
Total radioactivity in plasma is higher than 5% of total radioactivity-Cmax and/or PK parameters for 
determination of the total radioactivity-elimination phase cannot be determined reliably. 
 
The mass balance in urine and feces is not complete by Day 5 (ie, <90%).  
 
The combined urinary and fecal excretion is not 1% of the administered dose per 24 hours for 
2 consecutive days based on 14C-radioactivity “quick counts” or normal counts, as feasible. 
 
In the event of an incomplete mass balance on the morning of Day 8, subjects may be discharged from the 
clinical site upon discretion of the Investigator. Subjects with an incomplete mass balance (<90% of dose 
administered and/or combined urinary and fecal excretion >1% of the administered dose per 24 hours for 
2 consecutive days based on 14C-radioactivity “quick counts” or normal counts, as feasible) on Day 8 will be 
asked to return to the clinical site for one or two 24-hour visits (Day 11-12 and Day 15-16).

Subjects will be in the clinic from Day -1 (predose) until Day 5 with possible extension (Day 6 to Day 8) as well as possible 24-hour visits (Day 11-12, Day 15-16). The 2 back-up subjects will stay 
in the clinic until the morning of Day 2. 
Subjects will be released from the clinic 96 hours after dose administration and upon satisfactory recovery of radioactivity. 
Complete physical examinations will be conducted at screening, Day -1, and follow-up/early termination. Symptom driven physical examinations may be conducted at any time, per the Investigator’s 
discretion.  
Sampling of nasal and throat mucosal cells. If deemed necessary, additional tests may be conducted during the study. The nonclinical project manager will be informed immediately upon availability  
of Day 11 results, as this will qualify the feces samples for metabolite profiling with regard to potential COVID-19 infectivity. 
Clinical laboratory tests (including clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis): at screening; on Day -1 (admission), Day 2, and Day 4; and at follow-up.
12-lead ECG: at screening; Day -1, and 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours postdose; at discharge; and at follow-up.  
Vital signs (supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and respiratory rate): at screening; at admission; at predose and at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours postdose; at 
discharge; and at follow-up. 
Plasma sampling for PK of BTZ-043 and main metabolites in plasma: at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose. 
Total radioactivity in whole blood and plasma, and metabolite profiling in plasma: at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose (in case total radioactivity 
recovered is still <90%: in addition 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose and at further 24-hour visits [264 and 360 hours postdose] until study completion). Metabolite profiling in plasma: at predose 
and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose (in case total radioactivity recovered is still <90%: in addition 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose. 
Urine collection and pooling for BTZ-043 and main metabolites, total radioactivity, and metabolite profiling: at predose (within 12 hours prior to dosing) and over 0-24, 24-48, 48-72, and 72-96 hours 
postdose collection intervals (in case total radioactivity recovered is still <90%, in addition 96-120, 120-144, and 144-168 hours postdose and at further 24-hour intervals [Day 11-12 and Day 15-16] 
until study completion). 
Feces collection for total radioactivity and metabolite profiling; predose feces collection to be collected at any time within 48 hours prior to study drug administration (at home or in the clinic). After 
administration of BTZ-043, feces will be collected in 24 hour collection intervals up to 96 hours postdose (in case total radioactivity recovered is still <90%: in addition 120, 144, and 168 hours 
postdose and at further 24-hour intervals [Day 11-12 and Day 15-16] until study completion). 
If produced, vomit will be collected up to 8 hours after the administration of the study drug for total radioactivity determination.
Day 6-8 procedures will only be conducted in case that the recovery of radioactivity was not satisfactory until Day 5. 24-hour visits procedures will only be conducted in case that the recovery of 
radioactivity was not satisfactory until Day 8. For the 24-hour visits (if applicable): feces collection to be collected at home within 48 hours prior to admission.

INTRODUCTION 
1.1 
Background 
BTZ-043 is a promising new antibiotic for the treatment of tuberculosis. Its mechanism 
of action is based on a reduction of BTZ-043 to a transient nitroso moiety, which then 
reacts with an essential cysteine residue in the enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl- - -
ribose-2 -epimerase (DprE1), forming a semimercaptal as covalent adduct. DprE1 itself 
is required for the biosynthesis of decaprenylphosphoryl- - -arabinose, an essential 
component for the cell wall assembly of mycobacteria. Formation of the covalent adduct 
between BTZ-043 and DprE1 results in inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis and loss of 
viability of M. tuberculosis. Due to this mechanism BTZ-043 is highly selective for 
mycobacteria species (and some other members of Actinomycetales), but does not 
affect the gut flora.1 
 
In 2018 a Phase 1a study entitled “A Randomized, Double blind, Placebo-controlled, 
Single 
Ascending 
Dose 
Study 
to 
Evaluate 
Safety, 
Tolerability, 
and 
Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Single Doses of BTZ-043 in Healthy Adult Volunteers” 
(LMU-IMPH-BTZ-043-01) was conducted in humans and currently a Phase 1a/2b study 
entitled “A Prospective Phase 1b/2a, Active-controlled, Randomized, Open-label Study 
to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Extended Early Bactericidal Activity and PK of 
Multiple Oral Doses of BTZ-043 Tablets in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed, 
Uncomplicated, 
Smear-positive, 
Drug-susceptible 
Pulmonary 
Tuberculosis” 
(PanACEA-BTZ-043-02) is ongoing. This human absorption, metabolism, and excretion 
study is conducted during Phase 2 proof of concept studies and before a Phase 3 study 
is initiated.

1.2
Risk-benefit Assessment
There is no expected clinical benefit for the healthy subjects who will participate in this 
study. The information obtained in this study can be used for the further clinical 
development of BTZ-043. As depicted in Table 2, BTZ-043 has been well tolerated in 
much higher exposures as proposed in this study.  
 
Overall, on the basis of the available nonclinical and clinical data, the risk-benefit profile 
of BTZ-043 is judged acceptable for the proposed clinical study.

Page 27 of 57 
The risk-benefit assessment for the subjects receiving BTZ-043 remains unchanged in 
relation to the corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic as available clinical and 
nonclinical results do not suggest that administration of BTZ-043 will lead to suppression 
or modulation of the immune system. In addition, the mode of action does not appear to 
have a substantial effect on the respiratory or cardiovascular system critically affected 
by a SARS-CoV-2 infection. As the subjects to be included in this study are in general 
young to middle aged without major comorbidities, the study population is not considered 
to be a high-risk population for serious COVID-19 disease. Only persons with a negative 
SARS-CoV-2 test at admission to the clinical research center will be allowed to 
participate in the study. In addition, all appropriate measures to prevent SARS-CoV-2 
infection during the study will be taken as detailed in Section 3.2.1. 
1.3
Study Rationale
This study will determine the disposition and metabolism of BTZ-043 in humans after 
oral administration. The use of radiolabeled molecules (usually [14C]) is a common 
method to ascertain information on the elimination routes and metabolic fate of a 
compound at an early stage of development. This evaluation will provide an estimate of 
PK parameters, the routes and rates of elimination of radioactivity, and identification of 
metabolites and metabolic pathways. These data will be compared with similar data 
obtained from nonclinical studies, both from PK and metabolic points of view. 
The rationale for the proposed dose can be found in Section 3.4.4.

OBJECTIVES 
2.1 
Primary  
To determine the rates and routes of excretion of [14C]BTZ-043-related radioactivity, 
including mass balance of total drug-related radioactivity in urine and feces (and 
vomit, if applicable), following the oral administration of a single 500 mg dose of 
[14C]BTZ-043 in healthy male volunteers. 
 
To determine the PK of total radioactivity in whole blood and in plasma. 
 
To characterize the plasma PK of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by liquid 
chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), if applicable. 
 
To characterize the urine concentrations of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by 
LC-MS, if applicable. 
2.2
Secondary
 
To assess the safety and tolerability of a single 500 mg oral dose of BTZ-043 
administered to healthy male volunteers. 
2.3 
Exploratory 
 
To identify BTZ-043’s metabolites in plasma, and to quantify metabolites not 
measured in the primary objectives by radiometry in order to elucidate key 
biotransformation pathways and clearance mechanisms of BTZ-043 in humans.  
 
To identify BTZ-043’s metabolites in excreta (urine and feces) and to quantify 
metabolites not measured in the primary objectives by radiometry in order to 
elucidate key biotransformation pathways and clearance mechanisms of BTZ-043 in 
humans.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
3.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
3.1.1
Type of Study
This will be a Phase 1, single-center, open-label, absorption, metabolism, and excretion 
(AME) study in 4 healthy adult male subjects. 
3.1.2 
Screening Period 
Subjects will report to the medical screening facility/clinical site for the eligibility 
screening (see Section 3.3 for inclusion and exclusion criteria) within 3 weeks prior to 
drug administration.  
 
Subjects will sign the study-specific informed consent form (ICF) prior to any 
study-specific screening procedures being performed. The written informed consent will 
be obtained for all subjects, regardless of their eligibility for the study; the signed ICFs 
will be retained and archived at PRA Health Sciences (PRA) and a copy will be provided 
to the subject.  
 
Eligibility screening will consist of the assessments as presented in the schedule of 
assessments (Table 1). 
3.1.3 
Treatment Period 
Subjects will be admitted to the clinical research center on Day -1, which is the day prior 
to Day 1, the day of drug administration.  
 
Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 500 mg BTZ-043 containing 3.7 MBq of 
[14C]BTZ-043 on Day 1. Subjects will be discharged from the clinical research center on 
Day 5 (approximately 96 hours after drug administration) upon satisfactory recovery of 
radioactivity. If the criteria for discharge are not met on Day 5, subjects will be required 
to remain confined for a maximum of 3 additional days (Days 6 to 8) until the criteria are 
met (daily check by quick counts or normal counts, as feasible). The in-house period 
should be prolonged up to the morning of Day 8 if at least 1 of the following applies:  
 
Total radioactivity in plasma is higher than 5% of radioactivity-Cmax and/or 
PK parameters for determination of the total radioactivity-elimination phase 
cannot be determined reliably.  
 
The mass balance in urine and feces is not complete by Day 5 (ie, >90%). 
 
The combined urinary and fecal excretion is not 1% of the administered dose 
per 24 hours for 2 consecutive days based on 14C-radioactivity “quick counts” or 
normal counts, as feasible. 
If the criteria for discharge are still not met on Day 8, subjects may be discharged from 
the clinical site upon discretion of the Investigator. To ensure that adequate 
consideration is given to the protection of the subject’s interests, subjects with an 
incomplete mass balance on Day 8 will be asked to return to the clinical site for one or

On the day of study drug administation (Day 1), an FDA-recommended high-fat (or a 
standardized breakfast, if applicable, as outlined in Section 3.4.4 and Section 3.4.7) with 
calculated caloric content will be provided. 
 
Assessments during the treatment period will be performed as presented in the schedule 
of assessments (Table 1). 
3.1.4 
Follow-up 
The follow-up assessments will be performed 30 days (±2 days) after the [14C]BTZ-043 
dose.  
 
Assessments during follow-up will be performed as presented in the schedule of 
assessments (Table 1). 
3.2 
Discussion of Study Design 
The current design is commonly used for AME studies and in accordance with the current 
EMA “Guideline on the investigation of drug interactions”. 2 Since the present study is a 
descriptive study aimed at assessing excretion routes of BTZ-043 and evaluating mass 
balance, a formal statistical sample size calculation was not performed. A sample size 
of 4 subjects is a minimum, accepted number of subjects for AME studies and is 
considered sufficient to achieve the study objectives. Early-termination subjects may be 
replaced if the total number of completers drops below 4, after mutual agreement 
between the Sponsor and PRA.  
3.2.1 
COVID-19 Risk Mitigation 
This study will be conducted in accordance with guidance from the Central Committee 
on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO [Centrale Commissie Mensgebonden 
Onderzoek], ie, the Dutch competent authority [CA]) on conducting Phase 1 trials in 
clinical research centers in The Netherlands during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
During the entire study, the clinical research center will implement all recommendations 
issued by the Dutch government, including specific guidelines related to clinical research 
executed in clinical research centers with respect to minimizing the risk of disease 
spreading (eg, social distancing, disinfection, hygiene, and wearing of personal 
protection equipment by study staff). Details on specific procedures are described in the 
site specific manual.  
 
In cases where subjects are not able to attend study visits due to an infection with 
SARS-CoV-2, the Investigator will discuss with the Sponsor potential mitigation 
approaches (including, but not limited to, extending the visit window, conducting 
evaluations via video link or phone call, allowing for safety procedures to be conducted 
at a local facility). The rationale (eg, the specific limitation imposed by the SARS-CoV-2 
infection that led to the inability to perform the protocol-specified assessment) and 
outcome of the discussion will be documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF). 
 
In addition, the following containment measures will be taken during the study:

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 will be performed at the 
time points indicated in Table 1.
 
A subject should not be admitted if there was any contact with a person who tested 
positive for SARS-CoV-2 or a COVID-19 patient within the last 2 weeks prior to 
admission to the clinical research center. 
 
If a subject is tested to be SARS-CoV-2 positive on Day -1, the subject will be 
excluded from participation with reference to Exclusion Criterion 13, and referred 
for treatment. 
 
Physical examinations will be limited. 
 
If a subject becomes ill and/or is tested to be SARS-CoV-2 positive after the 
administration of study treatment, study assessments will be stopped (see also 
Section 3.3.3.1). A safety follow-up can be done if deemed necessary by the 
Investigator. The subject will be kept in-house in quarantine with appropriate 
medical intervention until complete elimination of the study compound or will be 
asked to quarantine at home according to guidelines of the Dutch government.

Please note that subjects should refrain from consumption of any foods containing poppy 
seeds, corn (whole corn kernels and popcorn), cruciferous vegetables, and bitter 
oranges within 48 hours (2 days) prior to screening and admission to the clinical 
research center to avoid false positive drug screen results, difficult feces texture, or 
induction of drug metabolizing enzymes. In addition, they should refrain from strenuous 
exercise within 96 hours (4 days) prior to screening and admission as this could result in 
abnormal clinical laboratory values.  
3.3.3 
Removal of Subjects from Assessment 
Participation in the study is strictly voluntary. A subject has the right to withdraw from the 
study at any time for any reason. 
 
The Investigator has the right to terminate participation of a subject for any of the 
following reasons: difficulties in obtaining blood samples, violation of the protocol, 
severe AEs or SAEs, or for any other reason relating to the subject’s safety or integrity 
of the study data. 
 
If a subject is withdrawn from the study, Nuvisan and LMU Klinikum will be informed 
immediately. If there is a medical reason for withdrawal, the subject will remain under 
the supervision of the Investigator until satisfactory health has returned, or the condition 
has stabilized with no more change being likely. 
 
After signing informed consent, subjects who drop out or withdraw for any reason without 
completing all screening evaluations successfully as well as subjects who drop out or 
withdraw prior to the first dose of study drug will be considered screening failures. 
 
A subject who is withdrawn or voluntarily withdraws from the study for any reason, 
whether related to the study drug or not, after having received the study drug, will be 
considered an early-termination subject. If a subject is withdrawn from the study, the 
early-termination subject will be replaced after mutual agreement between the Sponsor 
and PRA if the number of evaluable subjects drops below 4 (with a maximum of 
2 replacements).  
 
The decision regarding the replacement of subjects will be documented. 
 
PRA will make every effort to ensure that early-termination subjects who have received 
the study drug complete the early-termination assessments/safety follow-up 
assessments.

replaced, increased by 100 (eg, 101 replacement number for Subject Number 001), and 
will be administered the same treatment. 
 
After signing informed consent, subjects who drop out or withdraw for any reason without 
completing all screening evaluations successfully as well as subjects who drop out or 
withdraw prior to the first dose of study drug will be considered screening failures. Such 
subjects, and also subjects who are eligible for inclusion in the study but do not receive 
the study drug, will not receive a subject number, and only applicable data will be entered 
in the eCRFs.  
3.4.4 
Selection of Doses and Meals in the Study 
The targeted dose of 500 mg is considered a clinically relevant dose for the human AME 
study (Table 2) since this exposure achieves a maximal bactericidal effect and has 
shown to be tolerable in the 14-day Phase 1b study. It is proposed that the active 
pharmaceutical ingredient is taken after a high-fat breakfast (see Section 3.4.7), as 
absorption is then much improved. As shown in Table 2, the expected exposure is well 
below the maximum and well tolerated exposure achieved in the Phase 1b study. In the 
unexpected case that the currently conducted Phase 2a study with 250 mg, 500 mg, and 
1000 mg BTZ-043 administered after a high-fat breakfast shows any dose-related safety 
alert, the study team and the Sponsor will take measures to reduce the exposure. 
Reduction of exposure will be achieved by adapting the food intake (up to fasting) before 
the administration of [14C]BTZ-043. This protocol describes the drug administration of 
500 mg [14C]BTZ-043 after a high-fat breakfast as default. However, the study team and 
the Sponsor will decide whether a reduction in food intake is necessary to reduce the 
exposure to [14C]BTZ-043. 
 
In case it is indeed decided to administer 500 mg [14C]BTZ-043 after a 
standardized breakfast or in the fasted state rather than after a high-fat breakfast 
as planned, this decision and the associated rationale will be laid down in a Note to File, 
to be signed by the Sponsor and the PI, and to be submitted to the IEC for information 
only. 
 
The dose of 14C (approximately 3.7 MBq) to be administered was chosen to ensure 
successful profiling and identification of metabolites. 
 
In the present study, the estimated effective radiation burden after a single oral 
radioactivity dose of 3.7 MBq is approximately 0.16 mSv. 3 For biomedical investigations 
in small groups of human volunteers, an effective dose of 0.1 to 1.0 mSv is considered 
acceptable. 
3.4.5 
Radiation Safety of Clinical and Laboratory Staff 
It is expected that the clinical and laboratory staff handling the radioactive material and 
samples will not be exposed to any relevant radiation and associated health risk. The 
[14C] isotope emits low energy beta particles, which are not able to penetrate the 
dose containers or sample 
container walls. 
Therefore, there will 
be 
no 
“external” exposure from sample handling. The samples from the participants after 
y (Table 2) since this exposure achieves a maximal bactericidal effect and has 
shown to be tolerable in the 14-day Phase 1b study. It is proposed that the active 
pharmaceutical ingredient is taken after a high-fat breakfast (see Section 3.4.7), as 
absorption is then much improved. As shown in Table 2, t

radiolabeled dose administration will contain low levels of radioactivity. The radioactive 
dose of 3.7 MBq [14C] per subject is below the legal handling limit, above which a special 
laboratory and special procedures for handling radioactivity would be required. 
Therefore,

like 
any 
other 
non-radioactive biological material. Common practice of safe laboratory technique and 
hygiene will be exercised in handling all biological materials from this study.  
3.4.6 
Timing of Doses in the Study 
On Day 1, the study drug will be administered with the subject in the upright position. 
The study drug will be administered to subjects between 08:00 and 11:00 in the morning. 
After an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, subjects will receive an FDA-recommended 
high-fat breakfast (or a standardized breakfast, if applicable as outlined in Section 3.4.4) 
that will have to be finished within 20 minutes. The entire breakfast must be consumed 
by the subjects. The actual consumed food will be documented.  
 
Dosing will occur at 30 minutes after the start of the high-fat breakfast (or the 
standardized breakfast, if applicable, or dosing will occur in a fasted state, if applicable 
as outlined in Section 3.4.4).  
 
The study drug will be given as an oral suspension of 100 mL, which will be provided in 
an amber glass bottle from which the subjects can drink. Thereafter the bottle will be 
rinsed twice with 70 mL of water, and the subjects will be required to drink the bottle 
contents after rinsing. Thereafter, the subjects are required to drink additional 
non-carbonated water until they have ingested a total volume of 380 mL. 
 
Following drug administration, subjects will fast for a period of 4 hours until lunch. During 
fasting, no fluids are allowed except water; however, water is not allowed from 1 hour 
predose until 1 hour postdose (apart from the water taken with the dose).  
 
Subjects will not lie down for 4 hours after drug administration, except when required for 
assessments that need to be performed. 
3.4.7 
Meals During the Study 
A fasting period of at least 4 hours is required before obtaining clinical laboratory 
blood samples at the time points indicated in the schedule of assessments (Table 1). 
 
An FDA-recommended high-fat (or a standardized breakfast, if applicable, as outlined in 
Section 3.4.4) with calculated caloric content will be provided on Day 1.  
 
The FDA-recommended high-fat breakfast of 918 kcal consists of: 
 
2 fried eggs (in 15 g butter/margarine) (approximately 100 g) 
 
1 portion of bacon (40 g) (or brie 60+ for vegetarians) 
 
1 portion of fried potatoes (115 g) 
 
2 slices of (toasted) (wheat) bread with 15 g margarine

3.5.1.2.1
Adverse Events
AEs will be recorded from signing the ICF until completion of the follow-up visit. Any 
clinically significant observations, as determined by the Investigator, in results of clinical 
laboratory, 12-lead ECGs, vital signs, or physical examinations will be recorded as AEs. 
 
A TEAE is defined as any event not present prior to administration of the study drug or 
any event already present that worsens in either severity or frequency following 
exposure to the study drug.  
 
An AE that occurs prior to administration of the study drug will be considered a 
pretreatment AE.  
 
At several time points before and after drug administration, subjects will be asked 
nonleading questions to determine the occurrence of AEs. Subjects will be asked in 
general terms about any AEs at regular intervals during the study. In addition, all AEs 
reported spontaneously during the course of the study will be recorded. All answers will 
be interpreted by the Investigator using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA; most recent version) for AEs and will be recorded in the eCRF as reported 
terms.  
 
The severity of the AEs will be rated as mild, moderate, or severe; the relationship 
between the AEs and the study drug will be indicated as related or not related. Details 
on rating the severity of AEs and relationship to study treatment are given in 
Appendix 8.2. 
 
Pregnancy of female partners of male subjects will be monitored along with follow-up, if 
warranted (see Appendix 8.3). 
3.5.1.2.2 Clinical Laboratory  
Blood and urine samples for clinical laboratory assessments will be collected according 
to PRA SOPs. 
The following parameters will be measured: 
 
Clinical chemistry (serum quantitatively): 
 
total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, AST, ALT, lactate 
dehydrogenase, creatinine, urea, total protein, glucose, inorganic phosphate, 
sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride.  
 
Hematology (blood quantitatively): 
 
leukocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, thrombocytes, absolute partial 
automated differentiation (lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and 
neutrophils), mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean 
corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. 
 
Urinalysis (urine qualitatively): 
 
hemoglobin, urobilinogen, ketones, glucose, protein. 
 
Serology: 
 
HBsAg, HCV antibodies, and HIV 1 and 2 antibodies.

Drug and alcohol screen: 
 
opiates, methadone, cocaine, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, amphetamines (including 
ecstasy), cannabinoids, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, 
nicotine metabolites, and alcohol. 
 
Nasal and throat mucosal cell samples will be collected according to PRA work 
instructions detailed in the site specific manual. The samples will be tested for 
SARS-CoV-2 virus using PCR tests. The nonclinical project manager will be informed 
immediately upon availability of Day 11 results, as this will qualify the feces samples for 
metabolite profiling with regard to potential COVID-19 infectivity. 
 
In case of unexplained or unexpected clinical laboratory test values, the tests will be 
repeated as soon as possible and followed up until the results have returned to the 
normal range and/or an adequate explanation for the abnormality is found. The clinical 
laboratory will clearly mark all laboratory test values that are outside the normal range, 
and the Investigator will indicate which of these deviations are clinically significant. 
Clinically significant laboratory result deviations will be recorded as AEs, and the 
relationship to the treatment will be indicated (see also Appendix 8.2). 
 
Details on sample collection, handling, storage, and shipping will be described in the 
laboratory manual prepared by PRA. 
3.5.1.2.3 Vital Signs 
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse will be recorded after the subject has 
been resting for at least 5 minutes in the supine position. These assessments will be 
made using an automated device whenever possible. Body temperature and respiratory 
rate will also be measured. 
3.5.1.2.4 Electrocardiogram 
A standard 12-lead ECG will be recorded after the subject has been resting for at least 
5 minutes in the supine position. The ECG will be recorded using an ECG machine 
equipped with computer-based interval measurements. The following ECG parameters 
will be recorded: heart rate, PR-interval, QRS-duration, QT-interval, QTc-interval 
(Fridericia’s), and the interpretation of the ECG profile by the Investigator. 
3.5.1.2.5 Physical Examination 
Physical examination will be performed according to PRA SOPs. In addition, body weight 
and height will be measured according to PRA SOPs. 
3.5.1.3 
Total of Blood Volume 
Table 3 presents the number and volume of blood samples and the total volume of blood 
that will be collected throughout the study per subject.  
 
If deemed necessary by the Investigator or the Sponsor, the number and/or volume of 
blood samples per assessment may be increased, as long as the total volume of blood

3.5.2 
Appropriateness of Measurements 
The assessments that will be made in this study are standard and generally recognized 
as reliable, accurate, and relevant.  
3.5.2.1 
Timing of Assessments  
For PK, predose samples will be obtained between waking up and dosing. Postdose 
samples up to 20 minutes postdose will be obtained with a time window of ±1 minute. 
Thereafter, postdose samples will be obtained with time margins of ±5% of the time that 
has passed since dosing. The ±5% time window also applies to the start and end times 
of urine collection intervals and to the total duration of each collection interval. 
 
For safety assessments, predose assessments will be performed between waking up 
and dosing. For safety assessments up to 2.5 hours postdose, a time window of 
±15 minutes is allowed. Thereafter, serial postdose assessments (eg, multiple 
assessments within any given day) will be performed with time margins of ±10% of the 
time that has passed since dosing. 
 
When assessments are planned for the same scheme time, the order of the 
assessments should be arranged in such a way that PK blood sampling will be done 
after the ECG and vital signs recordings have been conducted, with PK blood sampling 
exactly on time. 
3.5.3 
Pharmacokinetic, Safety, and Exploratory Variables  
3.5.3.1 
Pharmacokinetic Variables  
PK variables will be the plasma and urine concentrations of BTZ-043 and 
main metabolites, the total radioactivity concentrations in plasma, whole blood, urine, 
and feces (and in vomit, if produced) and their PK parameters. The PK parameters to be

immediately reported to the IEC. In accordance with Section 10, Subsection 1, of the 
Dutch law on Medical Research in Human Subjects (WMO, revised Dec 2015)6, PRA 
will inform the subjects and the IEC if anything occurs on the basis of which it appears 
that the disadvantages of participation may be significantly greater than was foreseen in 
the research proposal, or if further recruitment of subjects in the study has been put on 
hold for that reason, whichever occurs first. The study may be suspended pending 
further review by the IEC, except insofar as suspension would jeopardize the subjects’ 
health. PRA will take care that all subjects are kept informed.  
 
No changes will be made to the study without IEC approval, except when required to 
eliminate apparent immediate hazards to human subjects. 
 
Notification of the end of the study will be sent by PRA to the CA in The Netherlands and 
to the IEC within 90 days after completion of follow-up for the last subject. In case a 
study is temporarily halted, PRA will notify the IEC immediately, including the reason for 
this. In case a study is ended prematurely, PRA will notify the IEC and the CA in The 
Netherlands within 15 days, including the reasons for the premature termination. A 
summary of the results of the study will be sent by PRA to the CA and the IEC within 
1 year after the end of the study.

APPENDICES 
8.1
Drug Accountability 
Upon receipt of the study drug, it will be inspected and counted by the responsible 
pharmacist. If necessary, all study drug will be repacked per dosing occasion and labeled 
according to PRA SOPs. 
 
The study drug will be kept in the PRA Pharmacy or in a locked and secured storage 
facility accessible to the pharmacist and the pharmacy assistant only. Temperature is 
monitored 24/7 with an automatic environmental monitoring system. In case of an alarm, 
the pharmacist or pharmacist on duty is informed immediately by email and phone. 
 
The responsible pharmacist will keep an inventory. This will include a description of the 
formulation and the quantity of study drug received for the study and a record of what is 
dispensed, to whom, and when. 
 
On termination of the study, the responsible pharmacist will conduct a final inventory of 
the study drug supply and will record the results of this inventory in the 
Drug Accountability Form. Unused study drug will be returned to the Promotor upon 
notice is given to Promotor and Sponsor or will be locally destroyed according to PRA 
standard procedures. Final accountability needs to be verified by monitor before return 
and/or destruction of medication. 
8.2
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Evaluation and Reporting 
8.2.1 
Adverse Events 
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical treatment or 
procedure that may or may not be considered related to the medical treatment or 
procedure. AE definitions will be followed as stated in the “Note for Guidance on Clinical 
Safety Data Management: Definitions and Standards for Expedited Reporting” (ICH topic 
E2A).10
 
All AEs reported by the subjects or apparent from their physical appearance during the 
clinical study will be reported on the AE eCRF page. 
 
The severity of AEs will be graded using the most current version of the MedDRA: 
 
Mild: An AE that is easily tolerated by the subject, causes minimal discomfort, does 
not interfere with everyday activities, and does not require intervention. 
 
Moderate: An AE that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday 
activities; intervention may be needed. 
 
Severe: An AE that prevents normal everyday activities; treatment or other 
intervention usually needed. 
 
If an AE has multiple aspects, the aspect with the highest severity will be graded.

Page 55 of 57 
It is emphasized that the term severe is a measure of severity; thus, a severe AE is not 
necessarily serious. For example, itching for several days may be rated as severe, but 
may not be clinically serious. 
 
In addition, clinically significant changes in physical examination findings and abnormal 
objective test findings (eg, laboratory, x-ray, ECG) should also be recorded as AEs. Test 
findings and physical examination findings can result in AEs if they:  
 
Are associated with accompanying symptoms, and/or 
 
Require additional diagnostic testing or medical/surgical intervention, and/or 
 
Lead to a change in study dosing or discontinuation from the study; result in the 
addition of significant additional concomitant drug treatment or other therapy, and/or 
 
Lead to any of the outcomes included in the definition of an SAE, and/or 
 
Are considered to be an AE by the Investigator or Sponsor. 
 
Reporting as an AE should not be triggered by: 
 
Merely repeating an abnormal test, or  
 
Any abnormal test result that is determined to be an error. 
 
The relationship of any AE to the study drug will be assessed and graded as related or 
not related. 
 
Related:   
 
The AE follows a reasonable temporal sequence to study drug administration, and 
cannot be reasonably explained by the subject’s clinical state or other factors (eg, 
disease under study, concurrent diseases, or concomitant medications). 
 
The AE follows a reasonable temporal sequence to study drug administration, and is 
a known reaction to the drug under study or a related chemical group, or is predicted 
by known pharmacology. 
 
Not Related: 
The AE does not follow a reasonable sequence from study drug administration, or can 
be reasonably explained by the subject’s clinical state or other factors (eg, disease under 
study, concurrent diseases, and concomitant medications).  
8.2.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, on the basis of medical and scientific 
judgment: 
 
Results in death, or 
 
Is life-threatening (this refers to an event in which the patient was at risk of death at 
the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have 
caused death if it were more severe), or  
 
Requires inpatient hospitalization for a medical reason or prolongation of existing 
hospitalization (this refers to hospital admission required for treatment of the AE). 
(Note: this does not include confinement in, for example, a respite unit; a skilled

nursing unit; rehabilitation facility; the clinical research center; or confinement due to 
planned or unplanned reason unrelated to study), or 
 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or 
 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited 
reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that 
may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but may 
jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the other 
outcomes listed in the definition above. These should also usually be considered 
serious. Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or 
at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not 
result in hospitalization. 
 
SAEs will be collected from admission until the final study visit. SAEs that are related to 
the investigational drug and continue beyond the normal collection period (ie, are 
ongoing at the time a subject exits the study) will be followed until resolution or until 
stabilized with sequelae. SAEs that begin after the subject’s participation in the study is 
complete, but that the Investigator considers to be related to study drug, may be reported 
at any time.  
 
The Investigator or clinical site personnel must notify the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor and 
PRA Drug Safety Center of all SAEs, regardless of relationship to the investigational 
drug, within 24 hours of clinical site personnel becoming aware of the event. The 
Investigator will provide the initial notification by sending a completed “SAE Notification 
Form,” which must include the Investigator’s assessment of the relationship of the event 
to investigational drug and must be signed by the Investigator. 
 
In addition, notification is sent by PRA to the IEC and the subject’s General Practitioner. 
 
Follow-up information, or new information regarding an ongoing SAE, must be provided 
promptly to the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor and PRA Drug Safety Center. 
All SAE reports should be sent to the contacts provided on Page 4: SAE Contact 
Information. 
8.2.3 
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions 
An SAE that is also an unexpected adverse drug reaction is called a suspected 
unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR). Unexpected adverse reactions are 
adverse reactions of which the nature or severity is not consistent with the applicable 
product information (eg, investigator’s brochure for an unapproved investigational 
medicinal product or the Summary of Product Characteristics for an authorized medicinal 
product). 
 
The Sponsor or its representative (eg, PRA if agreed to before start of the study) will 
promptly report (expedited reporting) the following SUSARs to the IEC: 
 
SUSARs that have arisen in the current clinical study that was assessed by the IEC 

  
CLINICAL STUDY PROTOCOL 
LMU-IMPH-BTZ-043-03/NVS543EC-185431 
VERSION 1.02.0 – 18-Mar-01-Jul-2021 
 
PRA-QMS-02701 6.0 
 
Page 57 of 57 
 
SUSARs that have arisen in other clinical studies of the same Sponsor and with the 
same medicinal product, and that could have consequences for the safety of the 
subjects involved in the current clinical study that was assessed by the IEC 
 
The Sponsor will promptly report (expedited reporting) all SUSARs to the CA and the 
Medicine Evaluation Board (MEB) of the country where this study is conducted and to 
the CAs in other Member States, as applicable. 
 
SUSARs that have already been reported to the EMA Eudravigilance database do not 
have to be reported again to the CA and the MEB because they have direct access to 
the Eudravigilance database. 
 
Expedited reporting will occur no later than 15 calendar days after the Sponsor or its 
representative has first knowledge of the adverse reactions. For fatal or life-threatening 
cases, the term will be maximally 7 calendar days for a preliminary report with another 
8 days for completion of the report.  
8.2.4 
Follow-up of Adverse Events 
Follow-up of AEs will continue until resolution, stabilization, or death. In case of ongoing 
AEs at database closure, the data obtained at database closure will be used in the 
statistical analysis. The follow-up of the AE will be documented in the source documents 
and will be described in the final CSR only if considered relevant by the Investigator. 
8.3
Pregnancy 
If the Investigator becomes aware of a pregnancy occurring in the partner of a male 
subject participating in the study up to 90 days after the last dose of study drug of the 
male subject, the pregnancy should be reported to the Sponsor within 1 working day of 
obtaining written consent from the pregnant partner. The Investigator may make 
arrangements for the partner to be counseled by a specialist, to discuss the risks of 
continuing with the pregnancy and the possible effects on the fetus. Monitoring of the 
partner should continue untile the outcome of the pregnancy is known.

Objectives 
Primary 
: To determine the rates and routes of excretion of [14C]BTZ-043-related 
radioactivity, including mass balance of total drug-related radioactivity in urine 
and feces (and vomit, if applicable), following the oral administration of a single 
500 mg dose of [14C]BTZ-043 in healthy male volunteers. 
 
: To determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of total radioactivity in blood and in 
plasma. 
 
: To characterize the plasma PK of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by liquid 
chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), if applicable. 
 
: To characterize the urine concentrations of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by 
LC-MS, if applicable. 
Secondary 
: To assess the safety and tolerability of a single 500 mg oral dose of BTZ-043 
administered to healthy volunteers. 
Exploratory 
: To identify BTZ-043’s metabolites in plasma, and to quantify metabolites not 
measured in the primary objectives by radiometry in order to elucidate key 
biotransformation pathways and clearance mechanisms of BTZ-043 in humans.

: To identify BTZ-043’s metabolites in excreta (urine and feces) and to quantify 
metabolites not measured in the primary objectives by radiometry in order to 
elucidate key biotransformation pathways and clearance mechanisms of BTZ-
043 in humans. 
 
Design and Treatments 
This study is a Phase 1, single-center, open-label study to investigate the absorption, metabolism, and 
excretion of BTZ-043 after a single oral administration of 500 mg BTZ-043 containing 3.7 MBq of 
[14C]BTZ-043 in 4 healthy adult male subjects.
 
A total of 4 evaluable subjects completing all procedures are required. Six (6) subjects will be enrolled in the 
cohort in order to have 4 evaluable subjects. If the cohort of 4 subjects administered with 500 mg BTZ-043 
containing 3.7 MBq of [14C]BTZ-043 leads to less than 4 evaluable subjects, the 2 back-up subjects can be 
dosed subsequently to ensure that 4 subjects have completed all study procedures and are evaluable. If any 
of the 4 subjects vomits within 4 hours after study drug administration (approximately 2 times the median 
Tmax of BTZ-043), the subject will be replaced. The 2 back-up subjects will stay in the clinical research center 
until the morning of Day 2. 
 
The study will consist of a screening period (Day -21 to -2), a baseline period (Day -1), a single dose 
treatment on Day 1 with a minimum of 96 hours (=4 days) post dose in-house observation period (Days -1 
up to afternoon Day 5), and a follow-up visit 30 days (±2 days) after the [14C]BTZ-043 dose. The subjects 
will be admitted to the clinical site on Day -1, at least 17 hours before the administration of [14C]BTZ-043 for 
baseline evaluation. Subjects will be administered a single 500 mg [14C]BTZ-043 dose as drinking 
suspension. Subjects will be confined to the clinical site for at least 96 hours following drug administration 
(ie, afternoon of Day 5). During this time, blood, feces, and urine samples for measurement of [14C]BTZ-043 
and metabolites will be collected. The radioactivity excreted in urine and feces as well as radioactivity in 
blood and plasma should be measured and the data should be communicated daily to Matthias Bader or his 
designee. The subjects will be released from the clinic approximately 96 hours to 168 hours after dose 
administration and upon satisfactory recovery of radioactivity (at least 90%) approved by the Sponsor’s 
scientific advisor after consulation of the Sponsor. This will depend on the radioactivity excretion balance as 
assessed by a normal counting method or real time rapid analysis on site (‘quick counting’ procedure, 
utilizing liquid scintillation counter, or sample combustion apparatus) of radioactivity in plasma, urine, and 
feces accumulated until 96 hours, as feasible. The data has to be available before subjects will be released 
from the clinic.  
 
The in-house period should be prolonged up to the morning of Day 8 if at least 1 of the following applies: 
 
Total radioactivity in plasma is higher than 5% of total radioactivity-Cmax and/or PK parameters for 
determination of the total radioactivity-elimination phase cannot be determined reliably. 
 
The mass balance in urine and feces is not complete by Day 5 (ie, <90%).  
 
The combined urinary and fecal excretion is not 1% of the administered dose per 24 hours for 
2 consecutive days based on 14C-radioactivity “quick counts” or normal counts, as feasible. 
 
In the event of an incomplete mass balance on the morning of Day 8, subjects may be discharged from the 
clinical site upon discretion of the Investigator. Subjects with an incomplete mass balance (<90% of dose 
administered and/or combined urinary and fecal excretion >1% of the administered dose per 24 hours for 
2 consecutive days based on 14C-radioactivity “quick counts” or normal counts, as feasible) on Day 8 will be 
asked to return to the clinical site for one or two 24-hour visits (Day 11-12 and Day 15-16).

Subjects will be in the clinic from Day -1 (predose) until Day 5 with possible extension (Day 6 to Day 8) as well as possible 24-hour visits (Day 11-12, Day 15-16). The 2 back-up subjects will stay 
in the clinic until the morning of Day 2. 
Subjects will be released from the clinic 96 hours after dose administration and upon satisfactory recovery of radioactivity.
Complete physical examinations will be conducted at screening, Day -1, and follow-up/early termination. Symptom driven physical examinations may be conducted at any time, per the Investigator’s 
discretion.  
Sampling of nasal and throat mucosal cells. If deemed necessary, additional tests may be conducted during the study. The nonclinical project manager will be informed immediately upon availability  
of Day 11 results, as this will qualify the feces samples for metabolite profiling with regard to potential COVID-19 infectivity. 
Clinical laboratory tests (including clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis): at screening; on Day -1 (admission), Day 2, and Day 4; and at follow-up.
12-lead ECG: at screening; Day -1, and 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours postdose; at discharge; and at follow-up.  
Vital signs (supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and respiratory rate): at screening; at admission; at predose and at 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours postdose; at 
discharge; and at follow-up. 
Plasma sampling for PK of BTZ-043 and main metabolites in plasma: at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 hours postdose. 
Total radioactivity in whole blood and plasma, and metabolite profiling in plasma: at predose and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose (in case total radioactivity 
recovered is still <90%: in addition 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose and at further 24-hour visits [264 and 360 hours postdose] until study completion). Metabolite profiling in plasma: at predose 
and 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose (in case total radioactivity recovered is still <90%: in addition 120, 144, and 168 hours postdose. 
Urine collection and pooling for BTZ-043 and main metabolites, total radioactivity, and metabolite profiling: at predose (within 12 hours prior to dosing) and over 0-24, 24-48, 48-72, and 72-96 hours 
postdose collection intervals (in case total radioactivity recovered is still <90%, in addition 96-120, 120-144, and 144-168 hours postdose and at further 24-hour intervals [Day 11-12 and Day 15-16] 
until study completion). 
Feces collection for total radioactivity and metabolite profiling; predose feces collection to be collected at any time within 48 hours prior to study drug administration (at home or in the clinic). After 
administration of BTZ-043, feces will be collected in 24 hour collection intervals up to 96 hours postdose (in case total radioactivity recovered is still <90%: in addition 120, 144, and 168 hours 
postdose and at further 24-hour intervals [Day 11-12 and Day 15-16] until study completion). 
If produced, vomit will be collected up to 8 hours after the administration of the study drug for total radioactivity determination.  
Day 6-8 procedures will only be conducted in case that the recovery of radioactivity was not satisfactory until Day 5. 24-hour visits procedures will only be conducted in case that the recovery of 
radioactivity was not satisfactory until Day 8. For the 24-hour visits (if applicable): feces collection to be collected at home within 48 hours prior to admission.

INTRODUCTION 
1.1 
Background 
BTZ-043 is a promising new antibiotic for the treatment of tuberculosis. Its mechanism 
of action is based on a reduction of BTZ-043 to a transient nitroso moiety, which then 
reacts with an essential cysteine residue in the enzyme decaprenylphosphoryl- - -
ribose-2 -epimerase (DprE1), forming a semimercaptal as covalent adduct. DprE1 itself 
is required for the biosynthesis of decaprenylphosphoryl- - -arabinose, an essential 
component for the cell wall assembly of mycobacteria. Formation of the covalent adduct 
between BTZ-043 and DprE1 results in inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis and loss of 
viability of M. tuberculosis. Due to this mechanism BTZ-043 is highly selective for 
mycobacteria species (and some other members of Actinomycetales), but does not 
affect the gut flora.1 
 
In 2018 a Phase 1a study entitled “A Randomized, Double blind, Placebo-controlled, 
Single 
Ascending 
Dose 
Study 
to 
Evaluate 
Safety, 
Tolerability, 
and 
Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Single Doses of BTZ-043 in Healthy Adult Volunteers” 
(LMU-IMPH-BTZ-043-01) was conducted in humans and currently a Phase 1a/2b study 
entitled “A Prospective Phase 1b/2a, Active-controlled, Randomized, Open-label Study 
to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Extended Early Bactericidal Activity and PK of 
Multiple Oral Doses of BTZ-043 Tablets in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed, 
Uncomplicated, 
Smear-positive, 
Drug-susceptible 
Pulmonary 
Tuberculosis” 
(PanACEA-BTZ-043-02) is ongoing. This human absorption, metabolism, and excretion 
study is conducted during Phase 2 proof of concept studies and before a Phase 3 study 
is initiated.

1.2 
Risk-benefit Assessment  
There is no expected clinical benefit for the healthy subjects who will participate in this 
study. The information obtained in this study can be used for the further clinical 
development of BTZ-043. As depicted in Table 2, BTZ-043 has been well tolerated in 
much higher exposures as proposed in this study.  
 
Overall, on the basis of the available nonclinical and clinical data, the risk-benefit profile 
of BTZ-043 is judged acceptable for the proposed clinical study.

Page 27 of 57 
The risk-benefit assessment for the subjects receiving BTZ-043 remains unchanged in 
relation to the corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic as available clinical and 
nonclinical results do not suggest that administration of BTZ-043 will lead to suppression 
or modulation of the immune system. In addition, the mode of action does not appear to 
have a substantial effect on the respiratory or cardiovascular system critically affected 
by a SARS-CoV-2 infection. As the subjects to be included in this study are in general 
young to middle aged without major comorbidities, the study population is not considered 
to be a high-risk population for serious COVID-19 disease. Only persons with a negative 
SARS-CoV-2 test at admission to the clinical research center will be allowed to 
participate in the study. In addition, all appropriate measures to prevent SARS-CoV-2 
infection during the study will be taken as detailed in Section 3.2.1. 
1.3 
Study Rationale 
This study will determine the disposition and metabolism of BTZ-043 in humans after 
oral administration. The use of radiolabeled molecules (usually [14C]) is a common 
method to ascertain information on the elimination routes and metabolic fate of a 
compound at an early stage of development. This evaluation will provide an estimate of 
PK parameters, the routes and rates of elimination of radioactivity, and identification of 
metabolites and metabolic pathways. These data will be compared with similar data 
obtained from nonclinical studies, both from PK and metabolic points of view. 
The rationale for the proposed dose can be found in Section 3.4.4.

vomit, if applicable), following the oral administration of a single 500 mg dose of 
[14C]BTZ-043 in healthy male volunteers.
 
To determine the PK of total radioactivity in whole blood and in plasma. 
 
To characterize the plasma PK of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by liquid 
chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), if applicable. 
 
To characterize the urine concentrations of BTZ-043 and main metabolites by 
LC-MS, if applicable.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
3.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
3.1.1 
Type of Study 
This will be a Phase 1, single-center, open-label, absorption, metabolism, and excretion 
(AME) study in 4 healthy adult male subjects. 
3.1.2 
Screening Period 
Subjects will report to the medical screening facility/clinical site for the eligibility 
screening (see Section 3.3 for inclusion and exclusion criteria) within 3 weeks prior to 
drug administration.  
 
Subjects will sign the study-specific informed consent form (ICF) prior to any 
study-specific screening procedures being performed. The written informed consent will 
be obtained for all subjects, regardless of their eligibility for the study; the signed ICFs 
will be retained and archived at PRA Health Sciences (PRA) and a copy will be provided 
to the subject.  
 
Eligibility screening will consist of the assessments as presented in the schedule of 
assessments (Table 1). 
3.1.3 
Treatment Period 
Subjects will be admitted to the clinical research center on Day -1, which is the day prior 
to Day 1, the day of drug administration.  
 
Subjects will receive a single oral dose of 500 mg BTZ-043 containing 3.7 MBq of 
[14C]BTZ-043 on Day 1. Subjects will be discharged from the clinical research center on 
Day 5 (approximately 96 hours after drug administration) upon satisfactory recovery of 
radioactivity. If the criteria for discharge are not met on Day 5, subjects will be required 
to remain confined for a maximum of 3 additional days (Days 6 to 8) until the criteria are 
met (daily check by quick counts or normal counts, as feasible). The in-house period 
should be prolonged up to the morning of Day 8 if at least 1 of the following applies:  
 
Total radioactivity in plasma is higher than 5% of radioactivity-Cmax and/or 
PK parameters for determination of the total radioactivity-elimination phase 
cannot be determined reliably.  
 
The mass balance in urine and feces is not complete by Day 5 (ie, >90%). 
 
The combined urinary and fecal excretion is not 1% of the administered dose 
per 24 hours for 2 consecutive days based on 14C-radioactivity “quick counts” or 
normal counts, as feasible. 
If the criteria for discharge are still not met on Day 8, subjects may be discharged from 
the clinical site upon discretion of the Investigator. To ensure that adequate 
consideration is given to the protection of the subject’s interests, subjects with an 
incomplete mass balance on Day 8 will be asked to return to the clinical site for one or 
two 24-hour visits (Day 11-12 and Day 15-16).

On the day of study drug administation (Day 1), an FDA-recommended high-fat (or a 
standardized breakfast, if applicable, as outlined in Section 3.4.4 and Section 3.4.7) with 
calculated caloric content will be provided. 
 
Assessments during the treatment period will be performed as presented in the schedule 
of assessments (Table 1). 
3.1.4 
Follow-up 
The follow-up assessments will be performed 30 days (±2 days) after the [14C]BTZ-043 
dose.  
 
Assessments during follow-up will be performed as presented in the schedule of 
assessments (Table 1). 
3.2 
Discussion of Study Design 
The current design is commonly used for AME studies and in accordance with the current 
EMA “Guideline on the investigation of drug interactions”. 2 Since the present study is a 
descriptive study aimed at assessing excretion routes of BTZ-043 and evaluating mass 
balance, a formal statistical sample size calculation was not performed. A sample size 
of 4 subjects is a minimum, accepted number of subjects for AME studies and is 
considered sufficient to achieve the study objectives. Early-termination subjects may be 
replaced if the total number of completers drops below 4, after mutual agreement 
between the Sponsor and PRA.  
3.2.1 
COVID-19 Risk Mitigation 
This study will be conducted in accordance with guidance from the Central Committee 
on Research Involving Human Subjects (CCMO [Centrale Commissie Mensgebonden 
Onderzoek], ie, the Dutch competent authority [CA]) on conducting Phase 1 trials in 
clinical research centers in The Netherlands during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
During the entire study, the clinical research center will implement all recommendations 
issued by the Dutch government, including specific guidelines related to clinical research 
executed in clinical research centers with respect to minimizing the risk of disease 
spreading (eg, social distancing, disinfection, hygiene, and wearing of personal 
protection equipment by study staff). Details on specific procedures are described in the 
site specific manual.  
 
In cases where subjects are not able to attend study visits due to an infection with 
SARS-CoV-2, the Investigator will discuss with the Sponsor potential mitigation 
approaches (including, but not limited to, extending the visit window, conducting 
evaluations via video link or phone call, allowing for safety procedures to be conducted 
at a local facility). The rationale (eg, the specific limitation imposed by the SARS-CoV-2 
infection that led to the inability to perform the protocol-specified assessment) and 
outcome of the discussion will be documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF). 
 
In addition, the following containment measures will be taken during the study:

Page 31 of 57 
 
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 will be performed at the 
time points indicated in Table 1.
 
A subject should not be admitted if there was any contact with a person who tested 
positive for SARS-CoV-2 or a COVID-19 patient within the last 2 weeks prior to 
admission to the clinical research center. 
 
If a subject is tested to be SARS-CoV-2 positive on Day -1, the subject will be 
excluded from participation with reference to Exclusion Criterion 13, and referred 
for treatment. 
 
Physical examinations will be limited. 
 
If a subject becomes ill and/or is tested to be SARS-CoV-2 positive after the 
administration of study treatment, study assessments will be stopped (see also 
Section 3.3.3.1). A safety follow-up can be done if deemed necessary by the 
Investigator. The subject will be kept in-house in quarantine with appropriate 
medical intervention until complete elimination of the study compound or will be 
asked to quarantine at home according to guidelines of the Dutch government. 
3.3

Please note that subjects should refrain from consumption of any foods containing poppy 
seeds, corn (whole corn kernels and popcorn), cruciferous vegetables, and bitter 
oranges within 48 hours (2 days) prior to screening and admission to the clinical 
research center to avoid false positive drug screen results, difficult feces texture, or 
induction of drug metabolizing enzymes. In addition, they should refrain from strenuous 
exercise within 96 hours (4 days) prior to screening and admission as this could result in 
abnormal clinical laboratory values.  
3.3.3 
Removal of Subjects from Assessment 
Participation in the study is strictly voluntary. A subject has the right to withdraw from the 
study at any time for any reason. 
 
The Investigator has the right to terminate participation of a subject for any of the 
following reasons: difficulties in obtaining blood samples, violation of the protocol, 
severe AEs or SAEs, or for any other reason relating to the subject’s safety or integrity 
of the study data. 
 
If a subject is withdrawn from the study, Nuvisan and LMU Klinikum will be informed 
immediately. If there is a medical reason for withdrawal, the subject will remain under 
the supervision of the Investigator until satisfactory health has returned, or the condition 
has stabilized with no more change being likely. 
 
After signing informed consent, subjects who drop out or withdraw for any reason without 
completing all screening evaluations successfully as well as subjects who drop out or 
withdraw prior to the first dose of study drug will be considered screening failures. 
 
A subject who is withdrawn or voluntarily withdraws from the study for any reason, 
whether related to the study drug or not, after having received the study drug, will be 
considered an early-termination subject. If a subject is withdrawn from the study, the 
early-termination subject will be replaced after mutual agreement between the Sponsor 
and PRA if the number of evaluable subjects drops below 4 (with a maximum of 
2 replacements).  
 
The decision regarding the replacement of subjects will be documented. 
 
PRA will make every effort to ensure that early-termination subjects who have received 
the study drug complete the early-termination assessments/safety follow-up 
assessments.

Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups 
After obtaining informed consent, subjects will receive a screening number and will be 
screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects who have met all 
eligibility criteria will receive a subject number upon inclusion in the study 
(Subject Numbers 001-004). They will receive the subject number just prior to dosing. 
The subject number will ensure identification throughout the study after study drug 
administration. Replacement subjects will receive the number of the subject to be

replaced, increased by 100 (eg, 101 replacement number for Subject Number 001), and 
will be administered the same treatment. 
 
After signing informed consent, subjects who drop out or withdraw for any reason without 
completing all screening evaluations successfully as well as subjects who drop out or 
withdraw prior to the first dose of study drug will be considered screening failures. Such 
subjects, and also subjects who are eligible for inclusion in the study but do not receive 
the study drug, will not receive a subject number, and only applicable data will be entered 
in the eCRFs.  
3.4.4 
Selection of Doses and Meals in the Study 
The targeted dose of 500 mg is considered a clinically relevant dose for the human AME 
study (Table 2) since this exposure achieves a maximal bactericidal effect and has 
shown to be tolerable in the 14-day Phase 1b study. It is proposed that the active 
pharmaceutical ingredient is taken after a high-fat breakfast (see Section 3.4.7), as 
absorption is then much improved. As shown in Table 2, the expected exposure is well 
below the maximum and well tolerated exposure achieved in the Phase 1b study. In the 
unexpected case that the currently conducted Phase 2a study with 250 mg, 500 mg, and 
1000 mg BTZ-043 administered after a high-fat breakfast shows any dose-related safety 
alert, the study team and the Sponsor will take measures to reduce the exposure. 
Reduction of exposure will be achieved by adapting the food intake (up to fasting) before 
the administration of [14C]BTZ-043. This protocol describes the drug administration of 
500 mg [14C]BTZ-043 after a high-fat breakfast as default. However, the study team and 
the Sponsor will decide whether a reduction in food intake is necessary to reduce the 
exposure to [14C]BTZ-043.
 
In case it is indeed decided to administer 500 mg [14C]BTZ-043 after a 
standardized breakfast or in the fasted state rather than after a high-fat breakfast 
as planned, this decision and the associated rationale will be laid down in a Note to File, 
to be signed by the Sponsor and the PI, and to be submitted to the IEC for information 
only. 
 
The dose of 14C (approximately 3.7 MBq) to be administered was chosen to ensure 
successful profiling and identification of metabolites. 
 
In the present study, the estimated effective radiation burden after a single oral 
radioactivity dose of 3.7 MBq is approximately 0.16 mSv. 3 For biomedical investigations 
in small groups of human volunteers, an effective dose of 0.1 to 1.0 mSv is considered 
acceptable. 
3.4.5 
Radiation Safety of Clinical and Laboratory Staff 
It is expected that the clinical and laboratory staff handling the radioactive material and 
samples will not be exposed to any relevant radiation and associated health risk. The 
[14C] isotope emits low energy beta particles, which are not able to penetrate the 
dose containers or sample 
container walls. 
Therefore, there will 
be no 
“external” exposure from sample handling. The samples from the participants after

radiolabeled dose administration will contain low levels of radioactivity. The radioactive 
dose of 3.7 MBq [14C] per subject is below the legal handling limit, above which a special 
laboratory and special procedures for handling radioactivity would be required. 
Therefore,

samples 
like 
any 
other 
non-radioactive biological material. Common practice of safe laboratory technique and 
hygiene will be exercised in handling all biological materials from this study.  
3.4.6 
Timing of Doses in the Study 
On Day 1, the study drug will be administered with the subject in the upright position. 
The study drug will be administered to subjects between 08:00 and 11:00 in the morning. 
After an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, subjects will receive an FDA-recommended 
high-fat breakfast (or a standardized breakfast, if applicable as outlined in Section 3.4.4) 
that will have to be finished within 20 minutes. The entire breakfast must be consumed 
by the subjects. The actual consumed food will be documented.  
 
Dosing will occur at 30 minutes after the start of the high-fat breakfast (or the 
standardized breakfast, if applicable, or dosing will occur in a fasted state, if applicable 
as outlined in Section 3.4.4).  
 
The study drug will be given as an oral suspension of 100 mL, which will be provided in 
an amber glass bottle from which the subjects can drink. Thereafter the bottle will be 
rinsed twice with 70 mL of water, and the subjects will be required to drink the bottle 
contents after rinsing. Thereafter, the subjects are required to drink additional 
non-carbonated water until they have ingested a total volume of 380 mL. 
 
Following drug administration, subjects will fast for a period of 4 hours until lunch. During 
fasting, no fluids are allowed except water; however, water is not allowed from 1 hour 
predose until 1 hour postdose (apart from the water taken with the dose).  
 
Subjects will not lie down for 4 hours after drug administration, except when required for 
assessments that need to be performed. 
3.4.7 
Meals During the Study 
A fasting period of at least 4 hours is required before obtaining clinical laboratory 
blood samples at the time points indicated in the schedule of assessments (Table 1). 
 
An FDA-recommended high-fat (or a standardized breakfast, if applicable, as outlined in 
Section 3.4.4) with calculated caloric content will be provided on Day 1.  
 
The FDA-recommended high-fat breakfast of 918 kcal consists of: 
 
2 fried eggs (in 15 g butter/margarine) (approximately 100 g) 
 
1 portion of bacon (40 g) (or brie 60+ for vegetarians) 
 
1 portion of fried potatoes (115 g) 
 
2 slices of (toasted) (wheat) bread with 15 g margarine

3.5.1.2.1 Adverse Events 
AEs will be recorded from signing the ICF until completion of the follow-up visit. Any 
clinically significant observations, as determined by the Investigator, in results of clinical 
laboratory, 12-lead ECGs, vital signs, or physical examinations will be recorded as AEs. 
 
A TEAE is defined as any event not present prior to administration of the study drug or 
any event already present that worsens in either severity or frequency following 
exposure to the study drug.  
 
An AE that occurs prior to administration of the study drug will be considered a 
pretreatment AE.  
 
At several time points before and after drug administration, subjects will be asked 
nonleading questions to determine the occurrence of AEs. Subjects will be asked in 
general terms about any AEs at regular intervals during the study. In addition, all AEs 
reported spontaneously during the course of the study will be recorded. All answers will 
be interpreted by the Investigator using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA; most recent version) for AEs and will be recorded in the eCRF as reported 
terms.  
 
The severity of the AEs will be rated as mild, moderate, or severe; the relationship 
between the AEs and the study drug will be indicated as related or not related. Details 
on rating the severity of AEs and relationship to study treatment are given in 
Appendix 8.2. 
 
Pregnancy of female partners of male subjects will be monitored along with follow-up, if 
warranted (see Appendix 8.3). 
3.5.1.2.2 Clinical Laboratory  
Blood and urine samples for clinical laboratory assessments will be collected according 
to PRA SOPs. 
The following parameters will be measured: 
 
Clinical chemistry (serum quantitatively): 
 
total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, AST, ALT, lactate 
dehydrogenase, creatinine, urea, total protein, glucose, inorganic phosphate, 
sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride.  
 
Hematology (blood quantitatively): 
 
leukocytes, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, thrombocytes, absolute partial 
automated differentiation (lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and 
neutrophils), mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean 
corpuscular hemoglobin concentration.

Drug and alcohol screen: 
 
opiates, methadone, cocaine, gamma hydroxybutyric acid, amphetamines (including 
ecstasy), cannabinoids, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants, 
nicotine metabolites, and alcohol. 
 
Nasal and throat mucosal cell samples will be collected according to PRA work 
instructions detailed in the site specific manual. The samples will be tested for 
SARS-CoV-2 virus using PCR tests. The nonclinical project manager will be informed 
immediately upon availability of Day 11 results, as this will qualify the feces samples for 
metabolite profiling with regard to potential COVID-19 infectivity. 
 
In case of unexplained or unexpected clinical laboratory test values, the tests will be 
repeated as soon as possible and followed up until the results have returned to the 
normal range and/or an adequate explanation for the abnormality is found. The clinical 
laboratory will clearly mark all laboratory test values that are outside the normal range, 
and the Investigator will indicate which of these deviations are clinically significant. 
Clinically significant laboratory result deviations will be recorded as AEs, and the 
relationship to the treatment will be indicated (see also Appendix 8.2). 
 
Details on sample collection, handling, storage, and shipping will be described in the 
laboratory manual prepared by PRA. 
3.5.1.2.3 Vital Signs 
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse will be recorded after the subject has 
been resting for at least 5 minutes in the supine position. These assessments will be 
made using an automated device whenever possible. Body temperature and respiratory 
rate will also be measured. 
3.5.1.2.4 Electrocardiogram 
A standard 12-lead ECG will be recorded after the subject has been resting for at least 
5 minutes in the supine position. The ECG will be recorded using an ECG machine 
equipped with computer-based interval measurements. The following ECG parameters 
will be recorded: heart rate, PR-interval, QRS-duration, QT-interval, QTc-interval 
(Fridericia’s), and the interpretation of the ECG profile by the Investigator. 
3.5.1.2.5 Physical Examination 
Physical examination will be performed according to PRA SOPs. In addition, body weight 
and height will be measured according to PRA SOPs.

Appropriateness of Measurements 
The assessments that will be made in this study are standard and generally recognized 
as reliable, accurate, and relevant.  
3.5.2.1 
Timing of Assessments  
For PK, predose samples will be obtained between waking up and dosing. Postdose 
samples up to 20 minutes postdose will be obtained with a time window of ±1 minute. 
Thereafter, postdose samples will be obtained with time margins of ±5% of the time that 
has passed since dosing. The ±5% time window also applies to the start and end times 
of urine collection intervals and to the total duration of each collection interval. 
 
For safety assessments, predose assessments will be performed between waking up 
and dosing. For safety assessments up to 2.5 hours postdose, a time window of 
±15 minutes is allowed. Thereafter, serial postdose assessments (eg, multiple 
assessments within any given day) will be performed with time margins of ±10% of the 
time that has passed since dosing. 
 
When assessments are planned for the same scheme time, the order of the 
assessments should be arranged in such a way that PK blood sampling will be done 
after the ECG and vital signs recordings have been conducted, with PK blood sampling 
exactly on time.

primary objectives will be reported in the a separate integrated PK report., which will be 
included as an appendix and briefly summarized in the CSR.
 
All data will be summarized using descriptive statistics and will be listed and summarized 
in tabular and/or graphical form. 
 
The metabolite profiling and identification results will be reported separately 
(see Section 3.5.4). 
3.6.3 
Determination of Sample Size 
Since the present study is a descriptive study aimed at assessing excretion routes of 
BTZ-043 by evaluating mass balance, a formal statistical sample size calculation was 
not performed. A sample size of 4 subjects is a minimum accepted number of subjects 
for AME studies and is considered sufficient to achieve the study objectives. 
Early-termination subjects may be replaced if the total number of completers drops 
below 4, after mutual agreement between the Sponsor and PRA. 
3.7 
Data Quality Assurance 
The study may be audited by the Quality Assurance Department at PRA to assess 
adherence to the clinical study protocol (CSP) and Quality System. During the conduct 
of the study, process-related audits may be performed. An audit certificate will be 
provided in the appendices of the final CSR outlining any audits and other related 
activities performed.  
 
The clinical research site will be monitored by the study monitor to ensure correct 
performance of the study procedures and assure that the study is conducted according 
to the relevant regulatory requirements. The eCRF entries will be verified with the source 
documentation, if applicable (in some cases data are captured directly on the eCRF, 
therefore source data verification is not necessary).

ETHICS 
4.1 
Independent Ethics Committee 
The submission package including the CSP and the ICFs will be submitted for review 
and approval by the IEC of the foundation “Beoordeling Ethiek Biomedisch Onderzoek” 
(English translation: “Evaluation of Ethics in Biomedical Research”) (Dr. Nassaulaan 10, 
9401 HK Assen, The Netherlands) prior to the eligibility screening. The composition of 
the IEC is in accordance with the recommendations of the World Health Organization, 
the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) E6(R2) Guideline for Good Clinical 
Practice (GCP) (European Medicines Agency [EMA]/Committee for Medicinal Products 
for Human Use [CHMP]/ICH/135/1995)4, and the EU Clinical Trial Directive (CTD) 
(Directive 2001/20/EC)5 (see below). The submission package will also be shared with 
the CA in the Netherlands for a statement of no objection. 
 
PRA will keep the IEC informed about the progress of the study. All changes in research 
activities and all unanticipated problems involving risks to human subjects will be 
immediately reported to the IEC. In accordance with Section 10, Subsection 1, of the 
Dutch law on Medical Research in Human Subjects (WMO, revised Dec 2015)6, PRA 
will inform the subjects and the IEC if anything occurs on the basis of which it appears 
that the disadvantages of participation may be significantly greater than was foreseen in 
the research proposal, or if further recruitment of subjects in the study has been put on 
hold for that reason, whichever occurs first. The study may be suspended pending 
further review by the IEC, except insofar as suspension would jeopardize the subjects’ 
health. PRA will take care that all subjects are kept informed.  
 
No changes will be made to the study without IEC approval, except when required to 
eliminate apparent immediate hazards to human subjects. 
 
Notification of the end of the study will be sent by PRA to the CA in The Netherlands and 
to the IEC within 90 days after completion of follow-up for the last subject. In case a 
study is temporarily halted, PRA will notify the IEC immediately, including the reason for 
this. In case a study is ended prematurely, PRA will notify the IEC and the CA in The 
Netherlands within 15 days, including the reasons for the premature termination. A 
summary of the results of the study will be sent by PRA to the CA and the IEC within 
1 year after the end of the study.  
 
The written documentation of approval of the CSP and ICFs will be provided to the 
Sponsor before the start of the study. Any communication with the IEC and/or CA before, 
during, and/or after the study will be provided to the Sponsor.

APPENDICES 
8.1
Drug Accountability 
Upon receipt of the study drug, it will be inspected and counted by the responsible 
pharmacist. If necessary, all study drug will be repacked per dosing occasion and labeled 
according to PRA SOPs. 
 
The study drug will be kept in the PRA Pharmacy or in a locked and secured storage 
facility accessible to the pharmacist and the pharmacy assistant only. Temperature is 
monitored 24/7 with an automatic environmental monitoring system. In case of an alarm, 
the pharmacist or pharmacist on duty is informed immediately by email and phone. 
 
The responsible pharmacist will keep an inventory. This will include a description of the 
formulation and the quantity of study drug received for the study and a record of what is 
dispensed, to whom, and when. 
 
On termination of the study, the responsible pharmacist will conduct a final inventory of 
the study drug supply and will record the results of this inventory in the 
Drug Accountability Form. Unused study drug will be returned to the Promotor upon 
notice is given to Promotor and Sponsor or will be locally destroyed according to PRA 
standard procedures. Final accountability needs to be verified by monitor before return 
and/or destruction of medication. 
8.2
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events Evaluation and Reporting 
8.2.1 
Adverse Events 
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical treatment or 
procedure that may or may not be considered related to the medical treatment or 
procedure. AE definitions will be followed as stated in the “Note for Guidance on Clinical 
Safety Data Management: Definitions and Standards for Expedited Reporting” (ICH topic 
E2A).10
 
All AEs reported by the subjects or apparent from their physical appearance during the 
clinical study will be reported on the AE eCRF page. 
 
The severity of AEs will be graded using the most current version of the MedDRA: 
 
Mild: An AE that is easily tolerated by the subject, causes minimal discomfort, does 
not interfere with everyday activities, and does not require intervention. 
 
Moderate: An AE that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday 
activities; intervention may be needed. 
 
Severe: An AE that prevents normal everyday activities; treatment or other 
intervention usually needed. 
 
If an AE has multiple aspects, the aspect with the highest severity will be graded.

PRA-QMS-02701 6.0 
 
Page 55 of 57 
It is emphasized that the term severe is a measure of severity; thus, a severe AE is not 
necessarily serious. For example, itching for several days may be rated as severe, but 
may not be clinically serious. 
 
In addition, clinically significant changes in physical examination findings and abnormal 
objective test findings (eg, laboratory, x-ray, ECG) should also be recorded as AEs. Test 
findings and physical examination findings can result in AEs if they:  
 
Are associated with accompanying symptoms, and/or 
 
Require additional diagnostic testing or medical/surgical intervention, and/or 
 
Lead to a change in study dosing or discontinuation from the study; result in the 
addition of significant additional concomitant drug treatment or other therapy, and/or 
 
Lead to any of the outcomes included in the definition of an SAE, and/or 
 
Are considered to be an AE by the Investigator or Sponsor. 
 
Reporting as an AE should not be triggered by: 
 
Merely repeating an abnormal test, or  
 
Any abnormal test result that is determined to be an error. 
 
The relationship of any AE to the study drug will be assessed and graded as related or 
not related. 
 
Related:   
 
The AE follows a reasonable temporal sequence to study drug administration, and 
cannot be reasonably explained by the subject’s clinical state or other factors (eg, 
disease under study, concurrent diseases, or concomitant medications). 
 
The AE follows a reasonable temporal sequence to study drug administration, and is 
a known reaction to the drug under study or a related chemical group, or is predicted 
by known pharmacology. 
 
Not Related: 
The AE does not follow a reasonable sequence from study drug administration, or can 
be reasonably explained by the subject’s clinical state or other factors (eg, disease under 
study, concurrent diseases, and concomitant medications).  
8.2.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, on the basis of medical and scientific 
judgment: 
 
Results in death, or 
 
Is life-threatening (this refers to an event in which the patient was at risk of death at 
the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have 
caused death if it were more severe), or  
 
Requires inpatient hospitalization for a medical reason or prolongation of existing 
hospitalization (this refers to hospital admission required for treatment of the AE). 
(Note: this does not include confinement in, for example, a respite unit; a skilled

nursing unit; rehabilitation facility; the clinical research center; or confinement due to 
planned or unplanned reason unrelated to study), or 
 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or 
 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited 
reporting is appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that 
may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but may 
jeopardize the patient or may require intervention to prevent one of the other 
outcomes listed in the definition above. These should also usually be considered 
serious. Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or 
at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not 
result in hospitalization. 
 
SAEs will be collected from admission until the final study visit. SAEs that are related to 
the investigational drug and continue beyond the normal collection period (ie, are 
ongoing at the time a subject exits the study) will be followed until resolution or until 
stabilized with sequelae. SAEs that begin after the subject’s participation in the study is 
complete, but that the Investigator considers to be related to study drug, may be reported 
at any time.  
 
The Investigator or clinical site personnel must notify the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor and 
PRA Drug Safety Center of all SAEs, regardless of relationship to the investigational 
drug, within 24 hours of clinical site personnel becoming aware of the event. The 
Investigator will provide the initial notification by sending a completed “SAE Notification 
Form,” which must include the Investigator’s assessment of the relationship of the event 
to investigational drug and must be signed by the Investigator. 
 
In addition, notification is sent by PRA to the IEC and the subject’s General Practitioner. 
 
Follow-up information, or new information regarding an ongoing SAE, must be provided 
promptly to the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor and PRA Drug Safety Center. 
All SAE reports should be sent to the contacts provided on Page 4: SAE Contact 
Information. 
8.2.3 
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions 
An SAE that is also an unexpected adverse drug reaction is called a suspected 
unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR). Unexpected adverse reactions are 
adverse reactions of which the nature or severity is not consistent with the applicable 
product information (eg, investigator’s brochure for an unapproved investigational 
medicinal product or the Summary of Product Characteristics for an authorized medicinal 
product). 
 
The Sponsor or its representative (eg, PRA if agreed to before start of the study) will 
promptly report (expedited reporting) the following SUSARs to the IEC: 
 
SUSARs that have arisen in the current clinical study that was assessed by the IEC

Page 57 of 57 
 
SUSARs that have arisen in other clinical studies of the same Sponsor and with the 
same medicinal product, and that could have consequences for the safety of the 
subjects involved in the current clinical study that was assessed by the IEC 
 
The Sponsor will promptly report (expedited reporting) all SUSARs to the CA and the 
Medicine Evaluation Board (MEB) of the country where this study is conducted and to 
the CAs in other Member States, as applicable. 
 
SUSARs that have already been reported to the EMA Eudravigilance database do not 
have to be reported again to the CA and the MEB because they have direct access to 
the Eudravigilance database. 
 
Expedited reporting will occur no later than 15 calendar days after the Sponsor or its 
representative has first knowledge of the adverse reactions. For fatal or life-threatening 
cases, the term will be maximally 7 calendar days for a preliminary report with another 
8 days for completion of the report.  
8.2.4 
Follow-up of Adverse Events 
Follow-up of AEs will continue until resolution, stabilization, or death. In case of ongoing 
AEs at database closure, the data obtained at database closure will be used in the 
statistical analysis. The follow-up of the AE will be documented in the source documents 
and will be described in the final CSR only if considered relevant by the Investigator. 
8.3
Pregnancy 
If the Investigator becomes aware of a pregnancy occurring in the partner of a male 
subject participating in the study up to 90 days after the last dose of study drug of the 
male subject, the pregnancy should be reported to the Sponsor within 1 working day of 
obtaining written consent from the pregnant partner. The Investigator may make 
arrangements for the partner to be counseled by a specialist, to discuss the risks of 
continuing with the pregnancy and the possible effects on the fetus. Monitoring of the 
partner should continue untile the outcome of the pregnancy is known.
