2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background and Rationale
Why Is This Study Being Conducted?
OnabotA X is an onabotulinumtoxinA investigational product being developed for the treatment of GL.  
Hyperfunctional facial lines that develop from repeated facial expression, such as GL, are typically 
treated by selectively weakening specific muscles with small quantities of botulinum toxin.1-5  Botulinum 
toxins act selectively at the neuromuscular or neuroglandular junction to reversibly block presynaptic 
acetylcholine release.  BOTOX (onabotulinumtoxinA) was first approved for aesthetic treatment of 
glabellar lines in 2001 and is one of the most common nonsurgical procedures in aesthetic medicine.6
A key factor contributing to patient satisfaction with aesthetic treatments is the durability of therapeutic
benefit.7,8  An enhanced duration could increase patient satisfaction and require fewer clinician visits
and injections to maintain the therapeutic benefit.  With the intent of developing a formulation of 
onabotulinumtoxinA that would potentially meet this clinical need, several prototype formulations were 
screened and lead candidate formulations of OnabotA X were identified. 
 
  OnabotA X formulations may offer an improved treatment option to 
patients based on their durability profile.  This is a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the safety and 
exploratory efficacy of 3 different formulations of OnabotA X (A, B, and C; 
 
).
2.2 Benefits and Risks to Subjects
OnabotulinumtoxinA is the active drug substance in BOTOX/BOTOX Cosmetic and in OnabotA X; 
therefore, safety data from prior studies of BOTOX are relevant to the benefit/risk assessment for this 
first-in-human study of OnabotA X.  
The clinical efficacy and safety profile of BOTOX has also been demonstrated in multiple Allergan- and 
non-Allergan-sponsored clinical trials across several indications, with favorable benefit/risk profiles.  In 
general, adverse reactions occur within the first few days following injection of BOTOX, and while 
generally transient, may have a duration of several months or, in rare cases, longer.  
In a meta-analysis conducted by Brin et al, the most frequently reported AEs among subjects treated for 
GL with BOTOX 
 were headache, nasopharyngitis, eyelid sensory disorder, eyelid ptosis, 
injection site pain, and nausea.9  All of these events were mild or moderate in severity, and the 
incidence decreased with increasing number of treatment cycles.  The safety profile for the 
 dose of 
OnabotA X selected for evaluation in this study is expected to fall within that of BOTOX for the 
treatment of GL.

Considering the coronavirus disease – 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the benefit and risk to subjects 
participating in this study have been re-evaluated.  Based on the limited information to date, no 
additional risk to study subjects is anticipated with the use of OnabotA X.  
For further details, please see findings from completed studies, including safety data in the current 
OnabotA X Investigator's Brochure.

3.6 Immunogenicity and Hypersensitivity Sampling
Immunogenicity 
Blood samples for immunogenicity testing will be collected from all subjects treated with OnabotA X 
according to the Study Activities Table (Appendix D) at Day 1 (Baseline), Day 30, Day 90, and End-of-
Study (Day 180 or Premature Discontinuation) visits.  Collected samples will be processed to yield serum 
for detection of binding and neutralizing antibodies to OnabotulinumtoxinA.
Hypersensitivity Assessments 
In suspected cases of anaphylaxis, blood samples should be collected within 2 hours after dosing or as 
soon as possible.  See Appendix F Operations Manual, Section 3.5 and Section 7.2.
4 INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN
4.1 Overall Study Design and Plan
This is a 180-day, Phase 2a, open-label, proof-of-concept study to assess the safety and efficacy of a 
single
 dose of 3 different formulations of OnabotA X (A, B, and C; 
 
). The study will enroll approximately 90 adult female subjects 
(≥18 years old) with severe GL based on FWS-GL ratings.  Approximately 5 sites in the United States will 
enroll subjects.
The study will include up to a 7-day Screening period, occurring from Day -14 to -7.  On Day 1, eligible 
subjects will be randomized (1:1:1) to receive one 
 dose of Formulation A, B, or C of OnabotA X.  
The single treatment of study drug will be administered in an open-label manner as
 
to the corrugator and procerus muscles.  Following treatment administration for each 
subject, the investigator will complete the Injector Experience Survey. 
Each subject will be in the study for up to 180 days and have 9 visits after screening.  Follow-up visits will 
be on Days 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 (exit).  The visit at Day 3 will be permitted a window of 
± 1 day, the visits at Days 7 and 14 will be permitted a window of ± 3 days, and the visits at Days 30, 60, 
90, 120, and 180 (exit) will be permitted a window of ± 7 days.  Safety parameters such as clinical 
laboratory test results, neurologic assessment, abbreviated physical examination, ECG, and vital signs 
will be monitored (see Operations Manual [Appendix F] Section 3).  At Screening, Baseline (Day 1) prior 
to treatment, and study exit, females of childbearing potential will undergo pregnancy testing.  For all 
subjects, AEs will be collected, whether solicited or spontaneously reported by the subject.  Blood 
samples for immunogenicity testing will be collected at Days 1, 30, 90, and 180 (exit).  
Additional efficacy will be evaluated based on FWS-GL-Investigator (assessed by an independent 
evaluating investigator), the FWS-GL-Subject, and the AGLSS.  
Subjects who discontinue should complete the procedures outlined for the Premature Discontinuation 
visit as soon as possible, preferably within 2 weeks (see Appendix D Study Activities Table).  
Further details regarding study procedures are in the Operations Manual (Appendix F) Section 3.

Phytoestrogen
Subjects must maintain their standardized skin care regimen throughout the study period.
Any questions regarding concomitant or prior therapy should be raised to the AbbVie non-emergency 
contact.  Information regarding potential drug interactions with OnabotA X may be found in the 
Investigator's Brochure.
Subjects must be able to safely discontinue any prohibited medications as described in the eligibility 
criteria.  Subjects must be consented for the study prior to discontinuing any prohibited medications for 
the purpose of meeting study eligibility.
COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Vaccination Guidance
The potential impact of OnabotA X on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is unknown.  If the subject has received a 
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, the subject must have completed their final dose at least 7 days prior to Day 1.  
Following Day 1, the decision to receive a locally available vaccine should be based on local guidance 
and an individual discussion between the treating physician and the subject.
These recommendations may be subject to change based on the evolving knowledge around the use of 
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and as more data are collected in real-world scenarios and clinical trials.
Any SARS-CoV-2 vaccine information must be documented on the COVID-19 vaccine eCRF.  Refer to the 
Operations Manual for instructions on reporting any AEs associated with the COVID-19 vaccine.

5.5 Withdrawal of Subjects and Discontinuation of Study
A subject may voluntarily withdraw or be withdrawn from the study at any time for reasons including, 
but not limited to, the following:  

Clinically significant abnormal laboratory results or AEs, as determined by the investigator or 
sponsor.

The investigator believes it is in the best interest of the subject.

The subject requests withdrawal from the study.

Eligibility criteria violation was noted after the subject started study drug and continuation of 
the study drug would place the subject at risk.

Introduction of prohibited medications or dosages and continuation of the study drug would 
place the subject at risk.

Subject is significantly noncompliant with study procedures.
For subjects to be considered lost to follow-up, reasonable attempts must be made to obtain 
information on the subject's final status.  At a minimum, 2 telephone calls must be made and 1 certified 
letter must be sent and documented in the subject's source documentation.
AbbVie may terminate this study prematurely, either in its entirety or at any site.  The investigator may 
also stop the study at his/her site if he/she has safety concerns.  If AbbVie terminates the study for 
safety reasons, AbbVie will promptly notify the investigator.
COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Acceptable Protocol Modification
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has been necessary to employ mitigation strategies to enable the 
investigator to ensure subject safety and continuity of care.  Acceptable mitigation strategies are 
identified and included in the Operations Manual in Appendix F, in Section 2 and Section 3.
The investigator should contact the sponsor's non-emergency medical contact before discontinuing a 
subject from the study for a reason other than described in the protocol, to ensure all acceptable 
mitigation steps have been explored.
Refer to the Operations Manual in Appendix F, Section 2 and Section 3, for details on how to handle 
study activities/procedures.
5.6 Follow-Up After Subject Discontinuation of Study Drug or from 
Study
To minimize missing data for efficacy and safety assessments, subjects who prematurely discontinue 
study drug treatment on Day 1 should continue to be followed for all regularly scheduled visits, unless 
subjects have decided to discontinue the study participation entirely (withdrawal of informed consent).  
Subjects should be advised on the continued scientific importance of their data even if they discontinue 
treatment with study drug early.

used. The IRT will assign a randomization number that will encode the subject's treatment group 
assignment according to the randomization schedule (1:1:1).
Randomization will be central by block randomization.  The same block will not be shared across 
investigative sites.
All subjects will be treated with OnabotA X (Formulation A, B, or C) in an unblinded, open-label manner.  
Study drug will be labeled with study kit numbers.  The IRT system will provide the designated site 
personnel with the specific study kit number for each subject after eligibility is confirmed on Day 1.  The 
designated site personnel will receive and maintain the IRT confirmation notifications for each 
transaction.  The designated, qualified site personnel will prepare the study drug per the instructions in 
the pharmacy manual and per subject randomization, and will draw up the required administration 
volume into an appropriately sized syringe(s) and label the syringe(s) with the subject's assigned 
identification number (and other information as specified in the pharmacy manual for a given 
formulation).  At the time of study drug administration, the designated site personnel will provide the 
labeled dosing syringe(s) to the trained qualified physician who will inject the subject according to the 
study drug administration instructions.
5.9 Protocol Deviations
AbbVie does not allow intentional/prospective deviations from the protocol except when necessary to 
eliminate an immediate hazard to study subjects.  The investigator is responsible for complying with all 
protocol requirements, written instructions, and applicable laws regarding protocol deviations.  If a 
protocol deviation occurs (or is identified, including those that may be due to the COVID-19 pandemic),
the investigator is responsible for notifying the IRB, regulatory authorities (as applicable), and AbbVie.
6 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Complaints and Adverse Events
Complaints
A complaint is any written, electronic, or oral communication that alleges deficiencies related to the 
physical characteristics, identity, quality, purity, potency, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, or 
performance of a product/device.  Complaints associated with any component of this investigational 
product must be reported to AbbVie.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Product complaints concerning the investigational product and/or device must be reported to AbbVie 
within 24 hours of the study site's knowledge of the event.  Product complaints occurring during the 
study will be followed up to a satisfactory conclusion.
Medical Complaints/Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events:  OnabotA X
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with 
this treatment.  An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
(investigational) product, whether or not the event is considered causally related to the use of the 
product.
Such an event can result from use of the drug as stipulated in the protocol or labeling, as well as from 
"special situations" such as accidental or intentional overdose, medication error, occupational or 
accidental exposure, off-label use, drug abuse, drug misuse, or drug withdrawal, all which must be 
reported whether associated with an AE or not.  Any worsening of a pre-existing condition or illness is 
considered an AE.  Worsening in severity of a reported AE should be reported as a new AE.  Laboratory 
abnormalities and changes in vital signs are considered to be AEs only if they result in discontinuation 
from the study, necessitate therapeutic medical drug, and/or if the investigator considers them to be 
AEs.
The investigators will monitor each subject for clinical and laboratory evidence of AEs on a routine basis 
throughout the study.  All AEs will be followed to a satisfactory conclusion.
An elective surgery/procedure scheduled to occur during a study will not be considered an AE if the 
surgery/procedure is being performed for a pre-existing condition and/or the surgery/procedure has 
been pre-planned prior to study entry.  However, if the pre-existing condition deteriorates unexpectedly 
during the study (e.g., surgery performed earlier than planned), then the deterioration of the condition 
for which the elective surgery/procedure is being done will be considered an AE.
If an AE, whether associated with study drug or not, meets any of the following criteria, it is to be 
reported to AbbVie clinical pharmacovigilance or contract research organization (as appropriate) as a 
SAE within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the SAE (refer to Section 4.2 of the Operations 
Manual [Appendix F] for reporting details and contact information):

Death of Subject
An event that results in the death of a subject.
Life-Threatening
An event that, in the opinion of the investigator, would have 
resulted in immediate fatality if medical intervention had not been 
taken.  This does not include an event that would have been fatal if it 
had occurred in a more severe form.
Hospitalization or 
Prolongation of 
Hospitalization
An event that results in an admission to the hospital for any length 
of time or prolongs the subject's hospital stay.  This does not include 
an emergency room visit or admission to an outpatient facility.
Congenital Anomaly
An anomaly detected at or after birth, or any anomaly that results in 
fetal loss.
Persistent or Significant 
Disability/Incapacity
An event that results in a condition that substantially interferes with 
the activities of daily living of a study subject.  Disability is not 
intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma (e.g., sprained ankle).
Important Medical Event 
Requiring Medical or Surgical 
Intervention to Prevent 
Serious Outcome
An important medical event that may not be immediately life-
threatening or result in death or hospitalization but, based on 
medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes 
listed above (i.e., death of subject, life threatening, hospitalization, 
prolongation of hospitalization, congenital anomaly, or persistent or 
significant disability/incapacity).  Additionally, any elective or 
spontaneous abortion or stillbirth is considered an important 
medical event along with any suspected transmission of an 
infectious agent via a medicinal product if no other serious criterion 
is applicable.  Examples of such events include allergic 
bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room 
or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in 
inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse.
All AEs reported from the time of study drug administration until 30 days after the last dose of study 
drug or until completion of the study or the last follow-up visit, whichever is longer, will be collected, 
whether solicited or spontaneously reported by the subject.  In addition, study procedure-related 
serious and nonserious AEs will be collected from the time the subject signs the study-specific informed 
consent.
The following definitions will be used for Serious Adverse Reactions (SAR) and Suspected Unexpected 
Serious Adverse Reaction (SUSAR):
Page 21 of 68
abbvie 

STUDY M21-324  |  Version 3.0  
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
SAR
Defined as all noxious and unintended responses to an investigational medicinal 
product (IMP) related to any dose administered that result in an SAE as defined 
above.
SUSAR
Refers to individual SAE case reports from clinical trials where a causal 
relationship between the SAE and the IMP was suspected by either the sponsor 
or the investigator, is unexpected (not listed in the applicable Reference Safety 
Information), and meets one of the above serious criteria.
AbbVie will be responsible for SUSAR reporting for the IMP in accordance with global and local
requirements.
AEs will be monitored throughout the study to identify any of special interest that may indicate a trend 
or risk to subjects.
Possible Distant Spread of Toxin 
Possible distant spread of toxin (PDSOT) is defined as a possible pharmacologic effect of botulinum toxin 
at sites noncontiguous and distant from the site of injection.  To assess possible local and distant spread 
of toxin, Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) preferred terms (PTs) that may be 
associated with botulinum toxin effects have been identified, and the final terms will be listed in the 
statistical analysis plan.  All AEs will be medically reviewed by the Sponsor on a regular basis throughout 
the duration of the study to identify PDSOT events, which will be assessed for severity, frequency, and 
trending and will be summarized in study clinical study report.
Adverse Event Severity and Relationship to Study Drug
The investigators will rate the severity of each AE as mild, moderate, or severe.
The investigator will use the following definitions to rate the severity of each AE:
Mild
The AE is transient and easily tolerated by the subject.
Moderate
The AE causes the subject discomfort and interrupts the subject's usual 
activities.
Severe
The AE causes considerable interference with the subject's usual activities 
and may be incapacitating or life threatening.
Page 22 of 68
abbvie 

STUDY M21-324  |  Version 3.0  
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
The investigator will use the following definitions to assess the relationship of the AE to the use of study 
drug:
Reasonable 
Possibility
After consideration of factors including timing of the event, biologic 
plausibility, clinical judgment, and potential alternative causes, there is 
sufficient evidence (information) to suggest a causal relationship.
No Reasonable 
Possibility
After consideration of factors including timing of the event, biologic 
plausibility, clinical judgment, and potential alternative causes, there is 
insufficient evidence (information) to suggest a causal relationship.
Pregnancy
While not an AE, pregnancy in a study subject must be reported to AbbVie within 24 hours after the site 
becomes aware of the pregnancy.  Subjects who become pregnant during the study will be encouraged 
to remain in the study for safety follow-up.  If a pregnancy occurs in a study subject, information 
regarding the pregnancy and the outcome will be collected.
The pregnancy outcome of an elective or spontaneous abortion, stillbirth or congenital anomaly is 
considered a SAE and must be reported to AbbVie within 24 hours after the site becomes aware of the 
event.
7 STATISTICAL METHODS & DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
7.1 Statistical and Analytical Plans
Complete and specific details of the statistical analysis will be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan 
(SAP).
7.2 Definition for Analysis Populations
The Full Analysis Set (FAS) includes all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug.  
The FAS will be used for all efficacy and baseline analyses. Subjects in this population will be analyzed 
per randomization, regardless of actual treatment received.
The Safety Analysis Set consists of all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug.  The Safety 
Analysis Set will be used for all safety analyses. Subjects in this population will be analyzed according to 
the actual treatment received.
7.3 Handling Potential Intercurrent Events for the Primary and Key 
Secondary Endpoints
Not applicable.

7.4 Statistical Analyses for Efficacy
Summary and Analysis of the Primary Endpoint
Not applicable.
Summary and Analysis of Secondary Endpoints
Not applicable.
Summary and Analysis of Additional Efficacy Endpoints
The number and percentage (or proportion) of the subjects who are responders will be summarized, 
95% confidence interval will be calculated with an exact method based on the binomial distribution for 
percentage (or proportion) of the subjects.  Observed data without imputation will be used.
For efficacy endpoints using AGLSS, subsets of subjects will be used as follows:

1-grade improvement from baseline at maximum frown or at rest: only subjects with 
corresponding baseline score being at least mild are included

2-grade improvement from baseline at maximum frown: only subjects with corresponding 
baseline score being at least moderate are included

Achieving none or mild at maximum frown: only subjects with corresponding baseline score 
being at least moderate are included
7.5 Statistical Analyses for Safety
The safety analyses will be performed using the safety population.  The safety parameters will include 
incidence of AEs and change from baseline in vital signs, laboratory assessments, and ECG.  Safety 
endpoints will be summarized using descriptive statistics and/or shift tables, as applicable. For each 
safety endpoint evaluating change from baseline, the last nonmissing safety assessment before study 
intervention administration will be used as the baseline for all analyses of that endpoint.
Treatment-emergent AEs are defined as any AE with the onset that is after the first dose of study drug.  
Events where the onset date is the same as the study drug start date are assumed to be treatment-
emergent. 
An overview of AEs will be presented consisting of the number and percentage of subjects experiencing 
at least one event for each of the following AE categories:

Any treatment-emergent AE

Any treatment-emergent AE related to study treatment according to the investigator
o
Any treatment-emergent AE related to study procedure according to the investigator
o
Any treatment-emergent AE related to study drug according to the investigator

Any severe treatment-emergent AE

No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.

Any serious treatment-emergent AE

Any treatment-emergent AE leading to death

Any PDSOT AEs

All deaths
Treatment-emergent AEs will be summarized by system organ class (SOC) and PT; by maximum 
relationship to study drug as assessed by the investigator (e.g., reasonable possibility or no reasonable 
possibility) and SOC and PT; by maximum severity and SOC and PT; and by subject number and SOC and 
PT.  Specific treatment-emergent AEs will be counted once for each subject for calculating percentages, 
unless stated otherwise.  In addition, if the same AE occurs multiple times within a subject, the highest 
severity and level of relationship to investigational product will be reported.
SAEs (including deaths) will be summarized by SOC and PT and in listing format.
PDSOT AEs will be identified in the SAP and summarized by PT.  
Vital sign and laboratory measurements will be summarized for changes from baseline at each 
assessment timepoint.
Analyses for ECGs and other safety endpoints will be addressed in the SAP.
Statistical Analyses for Immunogenicity and Hypersensitivity
Samples from subjects treated with OnabotA X will be analyzed for anti-drug antibodies using validated 
assays.  Immunogenicity results, manifested as the binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies, will 
be summarized in a table for each sampling timepoint.
Results from hypersensitivity evaluations, if any are conducted, will be listed.
7.6 Overall Type I Error Control
Not applicable.
7.7 Sample Size Determination
This is a proof-of-concept study with a primary objective of evaluating safety.  A sample size of 90 (30 
per treatment group) subjects will provide sufficient data for safety evaluations of OnabotA X to support 
future placebo-controlled studies in larger sample sizes, powered for efficacy evaluations.
8 ETHICS
8.1 Institutional Review Board (IRB)
The protocol, investigator brochure, informed consent form(s), recruitment materials, and all subject 
materials will be submitted to the IRB for review and approval.  Approval of both the protocol and the

informed consent form(s) must be obtained before any subject is enrolled.  Any amendment to the 
protocol will require review and approval by the IRB before the changes are implemented to the study.  
In addition, all changes to the consent form(s) will be IRB approved.
8.2 Ethical Conduct of the Study
The study will be conducted in accordance with the protocol, Operations Manual, International Council 
for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines, 
applicable regulations, and guidelines governing clinical study conduct and the ethical principles that 
have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki.  Responsibilities of the investigator are specified in 
Appendix B.
In the event a significant disaster/crisis (e.g., epidemic/pandemic, natural disaster, conflict/combat) 
occurs leading to difficulties in performing protocol-specified procedures, AbbVie may engage with 
study site personnel in efforts to ensure the safety of subjects, maintain protocol compliance, and 
minimize risks to the integrity of the study while trying to best manage subject continuity of care.  This 
may include alternative methods for assessments (e.g., phone contacts or virtual site visits), alternative 
locations for data collection (e.g., use of a local lab instead of a central lab), and shipping investigational 
product and/or supplies direct to subjects to ensure continuity of treatment where allowed.  In all cases, 
these alternative measures must be allowed by local regulations and permitted by IRB.  Investigators 
should notify AbbVie if any urgent safety measures are taken to protect the subjects against any 
immediate hazard.
8.3 Subject Confidentiality
To protect subjects' confidentiality, all subjects and their associated samples will be assigned numerical 
study identifiers or "codes."  No identifiable information will be provided to AbbVie.
9 SOURCE DOCUMENTS AND CASE REPORT FORM 
COMPLETION
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness of the 
data reported.  All source documents should be attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, 
accurate, and complete to ensure accurate interpretation of data.  Clinical site monitoring is conducted 
to ensure that the rights and well-being of human subjects are protected, that the reported trial data 
are accurate, complete, and verifiable, and that the conduct of the trial is in compliance with the 
currently approved protocol, ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP), and applicable local regulatory 
requirement(s).  During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote data review/verification may be employed if 
allowed by the local regulatory authority, IRB, and the study site.

The primary purpose of the version update to 3.0 is to incorporate ECGs into the study design, per FDA 
feedback. Edits were made in Section 1. Synopsis; Section 4.1 Overall Study Design and Plan; Section 5.1
Eligibility Criteria; Section 7.5 Statistical Analyses for Safety; Appendix D, Activity Schedule; Appendix F, 
Operations Manual.
Additional edits were made, as follows:
Instructions to collect concomitant medications and concurrent procedures at each visit were added to 
Section 5.4 Prior and Concomitant Therapy.
For the definition of PDSOT, the word "potential" was corrected to "possible" (Section 6.1 Complaints 
and Adverse Events). 
The following verbiage in Section 6.1 Complaints and Adverse Events was copied verbatim into 
Appendix F, Operations Manual (Section 4.1): "All AEs reported from the time of study drug 
administration until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or until completion of the study or the last 
follow-up visit, whichever is longer, will be collected, whether solicited or spontaneously reported by 
the subject.  In addition, study procedure-related serious and nonserious AEs will be collected from the 
time the subject signs the study-specific informed consent."
Categories of study drug-related AEs and study procedure-related AEs were added to the overview of 
AEs analysis described in Section 7.5 Statistical Analyses of Safety.
Protocol signatories were updated to be current (Appendix C List of Protocol Signatories).
In Appendix F, Operations Manual, the Fitzpatrick Skin Phototype scale was added, COVID-19-related 
acceptable protocol modifications were deleted for standardized facial photography, paper forms were 
removed from the procedures for SAE reporting, and height and weight were added to the Baseline 
collection of vital signs.

Schedule; Appendix F, Operations Manual).
Eligibility criteria that, if failed, would preclude a subject from being permitted to rescreen for the study, 
were identified at the beginning of Section 5.1 Eligibility Criteria.
Diluent was added to the list of Investigational Products in Section 5.7 Study Drug and Appendix F,
Operations Manual. Allergan (rather than Allergan Pharmaceuticals Ireland) was listed as the 
manufacturer in Section 5.7 Study Drug. The verbiage "Formulations A, B, or C" was included in 
Section 5.7 Study Drug, Section 5.8 Randomization/Study Drug Assignment, and Appendix F, Operations 
Manual.  
Updated verbiage was incorporated to align with other aesthetic toxin protocols, in Section 5.4 Prior and 
Concomitant Therapy and Section 5.5 Withdrawal of Subjects and Discontinuation of Study. 
The FWS-GL Investigator assessment was changed to be completed at all timepoints by an independent 
evaluating sub-investigator; the AGLSS will now be completed by the principal investigator (Appendix D,
Activity Schedule; Appendix F, Operations Manual).

2 PROTOCOL ACTIVITIES BY VISIT
Study visits may be impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This may include changes such as phone 
or virtual visits, visits at alternative locations, or changes in the visit frequency and timing of study 
procedures, among others.  Additional details are provided in the subsequent sections.  Every effort 
should be made to ensure the safety of subjects and site staff, while maintaining the integrity of the 
study.  If visits cannot be conducted onsite due to travel restrictions or other pandemic-related reasons, 
follow the updates below on how to proceed.
COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Acceptable Protocol Modifications
During the COVID-19 pandemic, if it is not possible for all study procedures to be performed as specified 
due to travel restrictions or other reasons, the following modifications are allowed with agreement from 
the sponsor:

If permitted by local regulations, the IRB, and the subject, postbaseline visits may be conducted 
virtually, including only prior/concomitant therapy, AE assessment, and partial neurologic 
assessment. 

During a virtual visit, the following activities do not need to be performed: abbreviated physical 
examination, vital signs, FWS-GL assessments by investigator and subject, AGLSS (independent 
evaluating investigator assessment), standardized facial photography, immunogenicity blood 
sampling, urine pregnancy testing.

Clinical laboratory assessments and ECGs may be skipped, unless the investigator has a 
significant concern and it is possible to arrange for the subject to have laboratory work and/or 
ECG done at an appropriate local facility.  The local laboratory draw and/or ECG should be 
scheduled within 7 days of the missed scheduled visit, if possible.

Study Visits should be performed as scheduled whenever possible.  If it is not possible to do so 
due to the pandemic, the following modification is allowed with sponsor approval:

If the Day 1 visit cannot occur within 30 days of Screening, then the subject will be 
considered a screen failure and must be rescreened to participate in the study.
2.1 Individual Treatment Period Visit Activities
This section presents a list of activities performed during each visit, organized by visit.  The dot pattern 
on the upper right indicates the place of the visit in the overall Activity Schedule.
Activities are grouped by category (Interview, Examinations, etc.).  Further information about each 
activity is provided in Section 3.
All Screening and Baseline visit procedures must be performed onsite.

3 STUDY PROCEDURES
3.1 Study Subject Information and Informed Consent
The investigator or his/her representative will explain the nature of the study to the subject, the 
benefits and risks anticipated from participation in the study and will answer all questions regarding this 
study.  Prior to any study-related screening procedures being performed on the subject or any 
medications being discontinued by the subject in order to participate in this study, the informed consent 
statement will be reviewed, signed, and dated by the subject or their legally authorized representative, 
the person who administered the informed consent, and any other signatories according to local 
requirements.  A copy of the signed informed consent will be given to the subject and the original will be 
placed in the subject's medical record.  An entry must also be made in the subject's dated source
documents to confirm that informed consent was obtained prior to any study-related procedures and 
that the subject received a signed copy.
Photographs will be taken for research purposes, and may also be used for education, commercial, 
and/or marketing purposes.  To participate in this study, the subject must consent to having 
photographs taken for research but may still participate if he/she declines use of the photographs for 
other purposes.  The sponsor shall have full ownership rights to any photographs derived from the 
study.
Information regarding benefits for subjects and information regarding provisions for treating and/or 
compensating subjects who are harmed because of participation in the study can be found in the 
informed consent form.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that additional protocol modifications not outlined in this 
protocol may become necessary.  If this situation arises, in addition to the study informed consent, 
additional temporary verbal consent may be obtained prior to these adaptations or substantial changes 
in study conduct in accordance with local regulations.  An appropriately signed and dated informed
consent form should be obtained from the subject afterwards, as soon as possible.
3.2 Medical/Surgical History
A complete medical history including demographics; history of tobacco, alcohol, and drug use; and 
Fitzpatrick skin phototype will be taken at screening. 
Fitzpatrick skin phototypes are defined as follows1:
I = Always burns, never tans
II = Always burns easily, tans minimally
III = Burns moderately, tans uniformly
IV = Burns minimally, always tans well
V= Rarely burns, tans profusely
VI = Never burns

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
The subject's medical history will be updated at the Study Day 1 visit.  This updated medical history will 
serve as the baseline for clinical assessment. Any abnormal findings from screening assessments (e.g.,
laboratory assessments, ECG, neurologic assessment) should be captured as medical history.
3.3 Subject Training on FWS-GL
At the Screening and Day 1 visits, subjects will view a training video on how to assess their GL severity 
using the FWS-GL-Subject. At any time during the study, subjects may view the training video again, if 
the site considers it to be necessary or helpful.
3.4 Adverse Event Assessment
Please refer to Section 4.1.
3.5 Immunogenicity and Hypersensitivity Sampling
Immunogenicity Sampling
Blood samples for immunogenicity testing will be collected from all subjects according to the Study 
Activities Table (Protocol, Appendix D) at Day 1 (Baseline), Day 30, Day 90, and End-of-Study (Day 180 or 
Premature Discontinuation) visits.  Instructions regarding the collection, processing, and shipping of 
these samples will be provided by the central laboratory.  Collected samples will be processed to yield 
serum for analysis.  
A 2-tier assay approach will be used for the detection of binding and neutralizing antibodies to 
OnabotulinumtoxinA in human serum.  In Tier 1, serum samples will be screened using a validated 
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).  The positive samples will subsequently be 
immunodepleted to confirm that the antibodies were specifically binding to OnabotulinumtoxinA and 
then titered to assess the magnitude of antibodies present.  In Tier 2, only samples that are confirmed
positive in the ELISA will be tested for neutralizing antibodies to OnabotulinumtoxinA using a validated 
assay.
Samples collected will also be used for investigative purpose in characterizing the assay.
There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for immunogenicity samples.  
If a site visit is missed at which immunogenicity samples were planned to be collected, this assessment 
will be skipped for that timepoint.
Hypersensitivity Assessments 
In suspected cases of anaphylaxis or systemic hypersensitivity reactions (see Appendix 7.2), blood 
samples for testing of biomarkers (i.e., tryptase) should be collected within 2 hours after dosing or as 
soon as possible after the event.  The sponsor may require additional testing be conducted.  Instructions 
regarding the collection, processing, and shipping of these samples will be provided by the central 
laboratory.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Subjects who experience anaphylaxis (regardless of seriousness) or serious systemic hypersensitivity will 
be managed per standard of care and referred to an allergist/immunologist for further assessment.  
Subjects who experience systemic hypersensitivity reactions will be followed until stabilization or 
resolution of the event.  
3.6 Vital Signs
Vital sign determinations of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body 
temperature will be obtained at visits as specified in Section 2; height and weight will also be collected, 
at the baseline visit.  Blood pressure and pulse rate should be measured after the subject has been 
sitting for at least 5 minutes.  
Measurements should be assessed consistently throughout the study.  Vital signs measurements 
determined prior to dosing on Day 1 will serve as baseline.
There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for vital signs.  If a site visit is 
missed at which vital signs were planned to be collected, this assessment will be skipped for that 
timepoint.
3.7 Abbreviated Physical Examination
An abbreviated physical examination, including general appearance, head, ears, eyes, nose, throat, and 
neck, will be performed at the designated study visits as specified in Section 2.  The physical examination 
performed on Study Day 1 will serve as the baseline physical examination for the entire study.  Physical 
examination abnormalities noted at the Baseline Visit prior to the first dose of study drug should be 
recorded in the subject's medical history.  Any significant physical examination findings after the first 
dose will be recorded as AEs.  All findings, whether related to an AE or part of each subject's medical 
history, will be captured on the appropriate eCRF page.
At any time, a symptom-directed physical examination can be performed as deemed necessary by the 
investigator.
There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for physical examinations.  If a 
site visit is missed at which a physical examination was planned, this assessment will be skipped for that 
timepoint.
3.8 Clinical Laboratory Tests
The blood samples for serum chemistry tests will be collected nonfasting.  The baseline laboratory test 
results for clinical assessment for a particular test will be defined as the last measurement prior to the 
initial dose of study drug.
A certified laboratory will be utilized to process and provide results for the clinical laboratory tests.  
Laboratory reference ranges will be obtained prior to the initiation of the study.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Instructions regarding the collection, processing, and shipping of these samples will be provided by the 
central laboratory.
If a laboratory test value at Screening is outside the reference range and the investigator considers the 
laboratory result to be clinically significant, the subject will be a screen failure and will be referred for 
follow-up with their physician. Laboratory abnormalities at Screening will be captured as medical 
history for enrolled subjects.
If a post-baseline laboratory test value is outside the reference range and the investigator considers the 
laboratory result to be clinically significant, the investigator will record the result as an AE, repeat the 
test to verify the value, and:

follow the out-of-range value to a satisfactory clinical resolution; or

discontinue the subject from the study or require the subject to receive treatment

There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for urine pregnancy testing.  If 
a site visit is missed at which a urine pregnancy test was planned, this assessment will be skipped for 
that timepoint.  (Screening and Day 1 visits are mandatory to occur onsite.)
Urinalysis
Dipstick urinalysis will be completed by the central laboratory at all required visits.  Specified abnormal 
macroscopic urinalyses defined as leukocytes, nitrite, protein, ketones, or blood greater than negative, 
or glucose greater than normal will be followed up with a microscopic analysis at the central laboratory.
COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Acceptable Protocol Modifications
If travel restrictions or other changes in local regulations due to a pandemic or natural disaster prevent 
the subject from having blood drawn for laboratory testing at the study site, it may be skipped unless 
the investigator has a significant concern and it is possible to arrange for the subject to have laboratory 
work done at a local laboratory, hospital, or other facility.  The local laboratory draw should be 
scheduled within 7 days of the missed scheduled visit, if possible.  Local laboratory results should be 
obtained along with reference ranges and kept within the subjects' source documentation.  The 
investigator should review local laboratory results as soon as possible.
3.9 Neurologic Assessment
COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Acceptable Protocol Modifications
If travel restrictions or other changes in local regulations due to a pandemic or natural disaster prevent 
the subject from completing an in-person visit, a partial neurologic assessment could be conducted 
remotely, to the best of ability by observing the subject via video call, if subject is in good health and a

video call is possible to arrange.  In this case, the missing components of the neurologic assessment 
must be documented as not performed.
3.10 12-Lead Electrocardiogram
12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)
All subjects will undergo conventional 12-lead ECG using standardized equipment and electrode 
placement at the visits outlined in the study activities table (Protocol Appendix D). Subjects are to be in 
a semirecumbent position for at least 10 minutes prior to starting the tracing. Single, legible/readable
ECG tracings will be taken at all timepoints. When an ECG is scheduled at the same time as a blood 
collection, the ECG will be obtained prior to the blood collection.  
A qualified third-party vendor will read the ECGs and report the findings as normal, abnormal, or unable 
to evaluate.
For screening ECGs, prespecified significant abnormal findings will be flagged as exclusion alerts, and a 
third-party vendor will generate an exclusion alert for the site and the sponsor. For all subsequent ECGs, 
a qualified third-party vendor will also report the appearance of any new, prespecified significant 
abnormal findings and generate a protocol alert for the site and the sponsor.
The cardiologists will be blinded to participant study intervention assignments. If the ECG finding is 
abnormal, they will specify the abnormality or give a diagnosis, whenever it is possible. ECG reports will 
be provided to the investigator and the sponsor via a secure portal within 24 hours of screening and 
within 72 hours for all other visits.
Before study intervention, if the ECG finding is clinically significant, the investigator must capture the 
finding in the medical history eCRF. After study intervention, if the pre-existing finding becomes worse 
and is clinically significant or the new ECG finding is clinically significant, the investigator must capture 
the AE in the AE eCRF. Hard copies of the ECG tracings will be kept in the study files at the investigator's 
site.
The ECG will be assessed for the following measures: heart rate, QRS duration, QT interval, QTcB 
interval, QTcF interval, ST segment, RR interval, PR interval, and qualitative results.
COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Acceptable Protocol Modifications
In the event the ECG may not be performed due to study modifications related to the COVID-19 
pandemic, it may be skipped for that timepoint unless the investigator has a significant concern and an 
arrangement can be safely made to have an alternative acceptable local facility perform the ECG.

3.11 Facial Wrinkle Scale – Glabellar Lines (FWS-GL)
Investigators' and subjects' assessments of the severity of GL at rest and maximum contraction using the 
FWS-GL are based on the following scale:
0 = None
1 = Mild
2 = Moderate
3 = Severe
The FWS-GL scales will be provided by the sponsor to each study site.  Both versions of the scale provide 
photographic examples of GL severity at rest and at maximum contraction.  Prior to enrolling subjects, 
physician investigators will be trained in grading GL severity using the FWS-GL to ensure that severity is 
graded consistently at each site and across all sites.  For this training, the same set of images will be 
used for all raters and all sites.  
The FWS-GL must be evaluated by a qualified, trained, physician sub-investigator other than the 
principal investigator who administers the study drug and who completes all other assessments
(described in Section 2 as an "independent evaluating investigator"). The FWS-GL is the only assessment 
in the study that this sub-investigator will complete.  The FWS-GL assessment is to be performed by the 
same sub-investigator throughout the study whenever possible.  If it is not possible to use the same 
assessor to follow the subject, it is recommended that the FWS-GL assessments overlap (assess the 
subject together and discuss findings) for at least 1 visit for a given subject.  The sub-investigator who 
performs the FWS-GL assessment must do so independent of the investigator who completes the AGLSS, 
and the results of the FWS-GL and AGLSS assessments must not be discussed.
Subjects will also be provided standardized training in grading GL severity using the FWS-GL to ensure 
that severity is scored consistently.  Instructions on using the FWS-GL will be provided prior to 
performing the assessment.  Standard mirrors (non-magnifying mirrors) will be used by the subject to 
aid in self-assessments.
Investigators and subjects will assess GL severity using the FWS-GL at the same time.  However, 
assessments must be independent of each other, and the results of the assessments must not be 
discussed.  The investigator and subject must grade the severity of GL first at rest and then at maximum 
contraction, using the FWS-GL.
There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for the FWS-GL scale.  If a site 
visit is missed at which this assessment was planned, the assessment will be skipped for that timepoint.
3.12 Allergan Glabellar Line Severity Scale (AGLSS)
Similar to the FWS-GL, the AGLSS assessments are to be conducted at rest and maximum contraction. 
The scale provides photographic examples of GL severity at rest and at maximum contraction; it uses a 
different set of photographs than the FWS-GL scales.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
The AGLSS uses the following scale:
0 = None
1 = Mild
2 = Moderate
3 = Severe
The AGLSS will be provided by the sponsor to each study site.  Prior to enrolling subjects, physician 
investigators will be trained in grading GL severity using the AGLSS to ensure that severity is graded 
consistently across all sites.  For this training, the same set of images will be used for all raters and all 
sites.  The AGLSS assessment is to be performed by the principal investigator; it must not be conducted 
by the sub-investigator who conducts the FWS-GL assessments (see Section 3.10).  These 2 investigators
must perform the assessments independently of each other, and the results of the assessments must 
not be discussed.  
The investigator must grade the severity of GL first at rest and then at maximum contraction, using the 
AGLSS.  
There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for the AGLSS.  If a site visit is 
missed at which this assessment was planned, the assessment will be skipped for that timepoint.
3.13 Standardized Facial Photography 
Standardized digital facial photography will be performed prior to injection of study drug for all subjects 
at the times described in Section 2.  Images will be taken by study site staff of each subject's face from 
the front at rest and at maximum contraction.  Each site will receive documented training and 
instructions on taking photographs.  
Conditions of photography will be standardized across all photographs, including camera equipment,
exposure, background, lighting, and focal length.  Ideally, the same photographer will take all required 
photographs.  A qualified third-party vendor will provide instructions for taking photographs and 
processing digital photographs.  All digital images will be transferred to the sponsor at the end of the 
study.  
Photographs may be used for education, commercial, and/or marketing purposes.  To participate in this 
study, the subject must consent to having photographs taken for research but may still participate if 
he/she declines use of the photographs for other purposes.  The sponsor shall have full ownership rights 
to any photographs derived from the study.
There are no pandemic or natural disaster-related protocol modifications for standardized facial 
photography.  If a site visit is missed at which photography was planned, it will be skipped for that 
timepoint.

3.14 Study Drug Adminstration
Study drug will be dispensed to site personnel at Baseline (Day 1), as specified in Section 2.1, and will be 
administered after all other baseline (Day 1) procedures are completed.  
Only the principal investigator as a trained and medically qualified physician is authorized to administer 
the study drug.  Study-specific training for GL injections is provided to investigators via a video with 
injection demonstration, and review of injection techniques as outlined in the protocol.  The video is 
available on the training portal for injectors to access at any time as a refresher course.  
The study intervention will be administered as intramuscular (IM) injections at 5 different injection sites 
in the glabellar complex (Figure 1).
Glabellar Line (GL) Injection Technique
Prior to injection, the skin at the injection sites and surrounding areas will be cleansed with 
antimicrobial solution.  Injections will be given using a sterile needle.  Each injection will contain 0.1 mL.  
Injections must be given with the bevel oriented superiorly and laterally.  The first injection will be made 
to the midline at the base of the procerus muscle.  The next 4 injections will be made bilaterally (i.e., 2 
injections per side) into each corrugator muscle (Figure 1).  The corrugators will be injected 
inferomedially near the origin of the supratrochlear nerve and superolaterally to the superior middle 
aspect ≥ 1 cm above the bony orbital rim.  
Figure 1.
Glabellar Line Injection Paradigm
m = muscle
Subjects must remain in the investigator's office for a minimum of 2 hours following the injection and be 
observed clinically during this time for any AEs.  The subject should be instructed to avoid rubbing or 
massaging the injection area for the next 24 hours.

3.15 Injector Experience Survey
Following study drug administration on Day 1, the investigator will complete the Injector Experience 
Survey, which collects information about the investigator's experiences with administering the 
treatment (e.g., ease of injection).
3.16 Subject Withdrawal from Study
All attempts must be made to determine the primary reason for discontinuation of study drug or study 
participation.  The information will be recorded on the appropriate eCRF page.  However, these 
procedures should not interfere with the initiation of any new treatments or therapeutic modalities that 
the investigator feels are necessary to treat the subject's condition.  Following discontinuation of study 
drug, the subject will be treated in accordance with the investigator's best clinical judgment, irrespective 
of whether the subject decides to continue participation in the study.
3.17 Unscheduled Visits
An Unscheduled Visit should be performed when the subject comes in for a medical visit for evaluation 
and assessment.  During Unscheduled Visits, blood and urine samples may be obtained for the 
laboratory tests listed in Section 3, or for other tests, at the investigator's discretion.
Visits to only retest a lab will not be considered an Unscheduled Visit.
4 SAFETY MANUAL
4.1 Methods and Timing of Safety Assessment
All AEs reported from the time of study drug administration until 30 days after the last dose of study 
drug or until completion of the study or the last follow-up visit, whichever is longer, will be collected, 
whether solicited or spontaneously reported by the subject.  In addition, study procedure-related 
serious and nonserious AEs will be collected from the time the subject signs the study-specific informed 
consent.  
4.2 Reporting Adverse Events and Intercurrent Illnesses
In the event of an SAE, whether associated with study drug or not, the investigator will notify Clinical 
Pharmacovigilance within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the SAE by entering the SAE data 
into the electronic data capture (EDC) system (RAVE) within 24 hours of the site being made aware of 
the SAE.  SAEs that occur prior to the site having access to the RAVE® system, or if RAVE is not operable, 
should be documented on the SAE nonCRF form and emailed (preferred route) or faxed to Clinical 
Pharmacovigilance within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the SAE and entered into RAVE 
system as soon as it becomes available.

COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Acceptable Protocol Modifications
If travel restrictions or other changes in local regulations due to a pandemic or natural disaster prevent 
the subject from in-person visits, AEs may be collected via phone or video conference.
Supplemental study CRFs should be completed in the event of COVID-19 related missed/virtual visits, or 
AEs (including capture of specific signs/symptoms of infection and testing results).
SARS-CoV-2 infections should be captured as AEs.  If the event meets the criteria for an SAE, then follow 
the SAE reporting directions per the protocol and above.  The following COVID-19 related supplemental 
eCRFs should be completed (for both serious and non-serious events):

COVID -19 Supplemental Signs/ Symptoms

COVID-19 Status Form
Reactions known to be associated with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine should be reported as AEs.  If the event 
meets the criteria for an SAE, then follow the SAE reporting directions.  All AEs associated with the SARS-
CoV-2 vaccine will be linked to the vaccine on the COVID-19 Vaccine eCRF.
5 COUNTRY-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Sample Retention Requirements
Samples for immunogenicity and hypersensitivity (as needed) testing may be stored for a maximum of 5 
years from application approval or 5 years from study completion (if not approved) at a facility selected 
by the sponsor to enable further characterization if necessary.
5.2 SUSAR Reporting
AbbVie will be responsible for SUSAR reporting for the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) in 
accordance with global and local guidelines and the Investigator Brochure will serve as the Reference 
Safety Information (RSI).  The RSI in effect at the start of a DSUR reporting period serves as the RSI

during the reporting period.  For follow-up reports, the RSI in place at the time of occurrence of the 
'suspected' Serious Adverse Reaction will be used to assess expectedness.
6 STUDY DRUG
6.1 Treatments Administered
The study drug (OnabotA X Formulations A, B, and C) will be dispensed, prepared, and administered as 
an IM injection at the Baseline/Day 1 visit as described in Section 5.7 of the study protocol.
Study drug must not be dispensed without contacting the IRT system.  Study drug may only be 
dispensed to subjects enrolled in the study through the IRT system.  
6.2 Packaging and Labeling
 
 
 
 
The investigational products are for investigational use only and are to be used only within the context 
of this study.  The study drug supplied for this study must be maintained under adequate security and 
stored under the conditions specified on the label until dispensed for subject use or destroyed on site as 
appropriate.
6.3 Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups
This is a randomized, open-label study.  All eligible subjects will receive the same 
 dosage of 
OnabotA X; however, 1 of 3 different formulations (A, B, or C) will be administered to subjects based on 
randomization.
At the screening visit, all subjects will be assigned a unique subject number through the use of the IRT.  
For subjects who do not meet the study selection criteria, the site personnel must contact the IRT 
system and identify the subject as a screen failure.
Subjects who are enrolled will retain their subject number assigned at the screening visit throughout the 
study.  Upon receipt of study drug, the site will acknowledge receipt in the IRT system.

Anaphylaxis and Systemic Hypersensitivity
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease/Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network 
(NIAID/FAAN) diagnostic criteria serve as a rapid and simplified method to make an accurate clinical 
diagnosis of anaphylaxis.2  Investigators should utilize these criteria to recognize any early signs and 
symptoms of anaphylaxis and practice clinical judgement for acute treatment and referral to emergency 
care.  The NIAID/FAAN diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis are outlined below.  
Table 1.
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and Food Allergy and 
Anaphylaxis Network Criteria for Anaphylaxis
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network 
Criteria for Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is likely when any one of these 3 criteria is fulfilled:
Acute onset of illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, mucosal tissue, or both 
(e.g., generalized hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips, tongue, or uvula) and at least one of the following:
a.
Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze or bronchospasm, stridor, reduced peak expiratory 
flow, hypoxemia)
b.
Reduced blood pressure or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], 
syncope, incontinence)
Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after exposure to a likely allergen for that patient (minutes to 
several hours):
a.
Involvement of the skin or mucosal tissue (e.g., generalized hives, itch or flush, swollen lips, tongue, or 
uvula)
b.
Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze or bronchospasm, stridor, reduced peak expiratory 
flow, hypoxemia)
c.
Reduced blood pressure or associated symptoms (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence)
d.
Persistent gastrointestinal tract symptoms (e.g., crampy abdominal pain, vomiting)
Reduced blood pressure after exposure to known allergen for that patient (minutes to several hours):
a.
Infants and children: low systolic blood pressure (age-specific) or > 30% decrease in systolic blood 
pressurea
b.
Adults: systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or > 30% decrease from that person's baseline
a.
Low systolic blood pressure for children is defined as < 70 mm Hg from 1 month to 1 year, < (70 mm Hg + [2 x age]) 
from 1 to 10 years, and < 90 mm Hg from 11 to 17 years.
