Summary of Changes and Rationale
Amendment 5
25 September 2020
Sample size estimation changed based on the 
observed common standard deviation of mean 
deviation. Common SD changed from 5.6 dB 
based on literature at the time of the study design
to 1.3 dB based on observed blinded data from 
study A0081096.
Enrollment to be approximately 187.
The following statement has been added to the 
Section 9.4 of the protocol: the expectation is that 
the Per Protocol subset will be close in the 
number of subjects to the number of subjects 
randomized.
Amendment 4
15 December 2015
Single Reference Safety Document (SRSD) for 
this study was changed from the Core Data Sheet 
(CDS) to the Investigators Brochure (IB). The IB 
contains more extensive information about 
pregabalin than the CDS.
The protocol introduction was updated to include 
current marketing information on Lyrica.
The following changes were made to comply with 
FDA and Neuropsychiatric and Abuse Potential 
Advisory Council (NAPAC) Guidance:

Suicidality assessment: the Columbia-Suicide 
Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) will be 
performed instead of the Sheehan-Suicidality 
Tracking Scale (S-STS) for subjects screened 
following approval/initiation of 
Amendment 4. Subjects who are randomized 
under Amendment 3 will not switch to the 
C-SSRS. 

Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire–Revised 
(SBQ-R) will be performed at screening.

Scoring instructions for the PHQ8 have been 
inserted as well as a reference to the 
Instruction Manual.
The following protocol exclusion has been 
inserted to increase subject safety:

Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 3

Any subject at risk of suicide or self-harm 
based on investigator judgment and/or details 
of a mental health risk assessment (MHRA) 
by a qualified mental health professional.
Instructions for completion of the PHQ-8 have 
been included. The Instruction Manual has been 
referenced.
The following statement has been inserted into 
Section 4.3 to reinforce the requirement to 
include only subjects who have adequate baseline 
VFT.

Subjects may not be randomized prior to 
receiving confirmation of the validity of the 
Baseline VFT from the central reader.
Sections presenting the Visual Field Testing 
(VFT) procedures were revised to clarify 
procedures or to amend the procedures to make it 
easier for the investigator to comply with the 
protocol:

Repeat VFT should be performed as soon as 
possible and within 2 weeks following 
notification from the central reader.

Section has been updated to reflect the 
electronic submission of the VFT results with 
subsequent faster response times.
The number of sites to participate in the study has 
been deleted. This study has been ongoing for 
many years with waves of sites being initiated 
and terminated.
The following changes were made to comply with 
the current protocol template and required 
language/wording:

Abbreviation list moved to an Appendix.

Updated terms study drug and study 
medication to investigational product for 
consistency.

Inserted Lifestyle Guidelines which includes 
template contraception language.

Inserted Sponsors Medically Qualified

Personnel.

Updated Trial Treatments including insertion 
of new sections for Investigational Product 
Storage, Investigational Product 
Accountability and Destruction of 
Investigational Product Supplies.

Updated Drug Supplies.

Updated Investigational Product Storage.

Updated Quality Control and Quality 
Assurance.

Inserted Medication Errors.

Updated Exposure During Pregnancy.

Inserted Occupational Exposure.

Updated Publication of Results.
The following changes were made to clarify 
potentially confusing language or to streamline 
the protocol:
Clarified dose administration.
Deleted samples of S-STS and PHQ-8 from 
Appendices.
Subjects will be required to record all 
investigational product dosing in a dosing diary 
which is to be reviewed by site staff with the 
subject at each visit. This is expected to improve 
the ability of the investigative site to reconcile 
investigational product use.
Amendment 3
12 December 2011
To add new safety wording. To allow for 
rescreening of subjects. To add clarification 
around the timing of the visual field testing
(VFT) and handling of the primary endpoint as an 
AE.  Also clarification of prohibited and allowed
concomitant medications; and documentation of 
adverse events related to changes from entry in
vital signs, weight and on the physical exam.
Background & Rationale, PASS language added, 
Subject Selection, Compliance, DMC text added.

SUMMARY
Indication:
Epilepsy; adjunctive therapy in patients with partial seizures.
Rationale:
This study is being performed as a Phase IV commitment to assess visual fields in subjects 
taking pregabalin as compared to placebo when added to their existing antiepileptic therapy.
Objectives: 
To evaluate visual fields in subjects with partial epilepsy receiving 12 weeks treatment of 
pregabalin compared to placebo.
Trial Design:
This is a Phase IV, multicenter, randomized placebo-controlled trial to further characterize 
visual fields in subjects with partial epilepsy dosed for 13 weeks, including a 1 week up
titration and 1 week down titration from the target dose of pregabalin 300 mg/day versus 
placebo.  Comprehensive ophthalmologic testing will be done at pre-treatment baseline to 
exclude those with pre-existing eye disease.

Endpoints:
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a decrease in the threshold value 
from baseline to termination in five or more points (in either eye) at the p<.05 level repeated 
in the same five points on subsequent computerized automated perimetry testing 
(Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard).
Trial Treatments:
Subjects will receive oral pregabalin 75 mg twice daily (BID) (150 mg/day) or matching 
placebo for titration and taper.  Subjects will receive oral pregabalin 150 mg BID 
(300 mg/day) or matching placebo for the treatment phase.
Statistical Methods:
The primary endpoint will be analyzed using a non- inferiority analysis.  The difference in 
proportions between pregabalin and placebo in the per protocol population will be compared 
using a 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI).  Non-inferiority will be demonstrated if the 
upper CI bound is less than 0.10 (10%).  The proposed sample size will have >90% power to 
detect non-inferiority on the primary endpoint, assuming a proportion of 1% for each group.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Pregabalin (Lyrica) has been approved in over 130 countries to date for varying neuropathic 
pain indications and for adjunctive treatment of patients with partial seizures and for 
generalized anxiety disorder.  Lyrica is approved in the United States for management of 
neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia, for 
the adjunctive treatment of adult patients with partial onset seizures, and for management of 
fibromyalgia.1  Lyrica is approved in European Union countries for the treatment of 
peripheral neuropathic pain, adjunctive treatment of partial seizures with or without 
secondary generalization, and for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.2  Since initial 
market approval of Lyrica in 2004 through 2014, it is estimated that more than 28.5 million
patient years of exposure will have accumulated worldwide.  More detailed information, 
including efficacy results in adults and the possible risks associated with administration of 
pregabalin, can be found in the current Investigator Brochure (IB).
Prospectively planned ophthalmologic assessments, including visual acuity testing, formal 
visual field testing and dilated funduscopic examination, were performed in the pregabalin 
clinical development program for all of the initial indications.
Formal visual field testing was conducted in over 2400 patients treated with pregabalin for 
neuropathic pain, chronic pain syndromes, intractable epilepsy, or generalized anxiety 
disorder in randomized controlled clinical trials of up to 3 months in duration and in over 
3600 patients in open-label trials of up to 4 years in duration.  Ophthalmologic assessments 
were included in the program due to concerns expressed at the time on emerging reports of 
visual field disturbances with the anticonvulsant vigabatrin, a gamma-aminobutyric acid 
(GABA)-transaminase inhibitor.3-11  The mechanism of the visual field defects with 
vigabatrin is unknown but was considered as possibly related to its GABA mechanism.  As a 
structural derivative of GABA, regulatory agencies considered similarity of pregabalin to 
vigabatrin as possible.  Subsequently, it became clearer that the mechanism of action of 
pregabalin was not related to GABA-transaminase inhibition or to a GABA related 
mechanism.  While the mechanism of action of pregabalin is not completely understood, 
results in animal models indicate that binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated 
calcium channels may be involved in the activity of pregabalin.
In controlled pregabalin studies, a higher proportion of patients treated with pregabalin 
reported blurred vision (6%) than did patients treated with placebo (2%), which resolved in 
the majority of patients during treatment.  In patients assessed with prospectively planned 
ophthalmologic testing, visual acuity was reduced in 7% of patients treated with pregabalin, 
and 5% of placebo-treated patients.  Visual field changes were detected in 13% of 
pregabalin-treated, and 12% of placebo-treated patients.  Funduscopic changes were 
observed in 2% of pregabalin-treated and 2% of placebo-treated patients.
This study is a Post-Authorization Safety Studies (PASS).  It is being conducted as a 
commitment agreed upon with the United States Federal Drug Administration (FDA) 
regulatory agency.

1.2. Rationale
This study is being performed to further characterize visual fields with pregabalin as 
compared to placebo when added to their existing antiepileptic therapy. In this study, 
standardized test equipment, program and test procedures across all study sites will be used 
to optimize the data quality and the sensitivity of the test.  Threshold visual fields will be 
performed using computerized static perimetry.
Complete information for this compound may be found in the Single Reference Safety 
Document (SRSD), which for this study is the pregabalin Investigator’s Brochure (IB).  The 
SRSD will be used in determining expected versus unexpected adverse events.
2. TRIAL OBJECTIVES AND ENDPOINTS
2.1. Objective
To evaluate visual fields in subjects with partial epilepsy receiving 12 weeks treatment of 
pregabalin compared to placebo.
2.2. Endpoints
Primary endpoint: 

The proportion of subjects with a decrease in the threshold value from baseline to 
termination in five or more points (in either eye) at the p<.05 level repeated in the 
same five points on subsequent computerized automated perimetry testing 
(Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard).
Secondary endpoints:

Change in mean deviation score from baseline to Week 12 from the Humphrey 
threshold test;

Change in visual acuity from Baseline to Week 12 expressed by number identified in 
ETDRS visual acuity assessment.
3. TRIAL DESIGN
This is a Phase IV, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to 
measure visual field sensitivity in subjects with partial epilepsy dosed with pregabalin or 
placebo.  Pregabalin will be dosed at 300 mg/day for 11 weeks after one-week initiation with 
150 mg/day, followed by one-week tapering of 150 mg/day.  Total treatment period will be 
13 weeks.  Comprehensive ophthalmologic testing will be done at pre-treatment baseline to 
exclude subjects with pre-existing eye disease.  
A central reader will assure the quality of all visual field test results with pre-specified 
criteria.  Any field failing this quality assurance criteria either due to poor subject compliance 
or due to failure to follow testing procedures will be repeated as soon as possible within 
2 weeks following notification from the central reader.  Prior to randomization subjects must 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 15
meet the pre-specified quality assurance criteria. Subjects failing to meet this criteria at 
Baseline either due to poor subject compliance or due to failure to follow testing procedures 
can be re-screened one additional time after 3 months and will keep their previously assigned
ID number. Rescreening may also be allowed for subjects with non-lesional epilepsy who 
may have been screen failed for reasons other than those specified above, if correctable. 
Approximately 187 subjects will participate in the study. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to 
pregabalin or placebo, with approximately 93 randomized to pregabalin and 93 to placebo.  
4. SUBJECT SELECTION
This clinical trial can fulfill its objectives only if appropriate subjects are enrolled.  The 
following eligibility criteria are designed to select subjects for whom protocol treatment is 
considered appropriate.  All relevant medical and non-medical conditions should be taken 
into consideration when deciding whether this protocol is suitable for a particular subject.
4.1. Inclusion Criteria
Subjects must meet the following criteria to be eligible to participate in the study:
1. Diagnosis of epilepsy with partial seizures (as defined in the International League 
Against Epilepsy Classification of Seizures).  Diagnosis must be established by 
subject’s medical history (eg, seizures), family history, and the results of 
electroencephalogram testing done within 2 years prior to baseline (if none available, 
must be taken during Screening).  Results must be consistent with the diagnosis of 
focal-onset epilepsy;

4.3. Randomization Criteria 
Subjects will complete visual field testing (VFT) at baseline.  Once the central reader 
confirms the validity of the VFT, the subjects will return to the site to be randomized to 
treatment and to receive the investigational product. Subjects may not be randomized prior 
to receiving confirmation of the validity of the Baseline VFT from the central reader.
4.4. Lifestyle Guidelines
All male subjects who are able to father children and female subjects who are of childbearing 
potential and are sexually active and at risk for pregnancy must agree to use a highly 
effective method of contraception consistently and correctly for the duration of the active 
treatment period and for at least 28 days after the last dose of investigational product.  The 
investigator or his or her designee, in consultation with the subject, will confirm that the 
subject has selected an appropriate method of contraception for the individual subject and his 
or her partner from the permitted list of contraception methods (see below) and instruct the 
subject in its consistent and correct use.  Subjects need to affirm that they meet the criteria 
for correct use of at least 1 of the selected methods of contraception.  The investigator or 
his/her designee will discuss with the subject the need to use highly effective contraception 
consistently and correctly according to the schedule of activities and document such 
conversation in the subject’s chart.  In addition, the investigator or his or her designee will 
instruct the subject to call immediately if the selected contraception method is discontinued 
or if pregnancy is known or suspected in the subject or the subject’s partner.  
Highly effective methods of contraception are those that, alone or in combination, result in a 
failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly (ie, perfect use) and 
include the following:

Established use of oral, inserted, injected, implanted or transdermal hormonal 
methods of contraception is allowed provided the subject plans to remain on the same 
treatment throughout the entire study and has been using that hormonal contraceptive 
for an adequate period of time to ensure effectiveness.

Correctly placed copper-containing intrauterine device (IUD). 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 19

Male condom or female condom used WITH a spermicide (ie, foam, gel, film, cream, 
or suppository).  For countries where spermicide is not available or condom plus 
spermicide is not accepted as highly effective contraception, this option is not 
appropriate.

Male sterilization with absence of sperm in the postvasectomy ejaculate.

Bilateral tubal ligation/bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral tubal occlusive procedure 
(provided that occlusion has been confirmed in accordance with the device’s label).

Female partner who meets the criteria for non-childbearing potential, as described 
below:
Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must meet at least one of the following 
criteria:

Have undergone a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy;

Have medically confirmed ovarian failure; or 

Achieved postmenopausal status, defined as follows: cessation of regular menses 
for at least 12 consecutive months with no alternative pathological or 
physiological cause; and have a serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level 
confirming the post-menopausal state.
All other female subjects (including females with tubal ligations) will be considered 
to be of childbearing potential.
All sexually active male subjects must agree to prevent potential transfer of and exposure to 
drug through semen to their partners by using a condom consistently and correctly, beginning 
with the first dose of investigational product and continuing for at least 28 days after the last 
dose.
4.5. Sponsor’s Qualified Medical Personnel
The contact information for the sponsor's appropriately qualified medical personnel for the 
study is documented in the study contact list located in the supporting study documentation.
To facilitate access to appropriately qualified medical personnel on study-related medical 
questions or problems, subjects are provided with a contact card.  The contact card contains, 
at a minimum, protocol and investigational compound identifiers, subject study numbers, 
contact information for the investigational site, and contact details for a contact center in the 
event that the investigational site staff cannot be reached to provide advice on a medical 
question or problem originating from another healthcare professional not involved in the 
subject’s participation in the study.  The contact number can also be used by investigational 
staff if they are seeking advice on medical questions or problems; however, it should be used
only in the event that the established communication pathways between the investigational 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 20
site and the study team are not available. It is therefore intended to augment, but not replace, 
the established communication pathways between the investigational site and the study team 
for advice on medical questions or problems that may arise during the study.  The contact 
number is not intended for use by the subject directly, and if a subject calls that number, he 
or she will be directed back to the investigational site.
5. TRIAL TREATMENTS
Equal number of subjects will receive oral pregabalin or matching placebo.  Pregabalin 
treatment period will be 11 weeks at the dose of 300 mg/day (150 mg BID).  A one-week 
titration and one-week taper at 150 mg/day (75 mg BID) will be given prior to and following 
the 11 week period (total 13 weeks).
If the subject cannot tolerate 300 mg/day dose, they will be discontinued from the study.  No 
down-titration on the dose is allowed.
It is recommended that the first dose of pregabalin be taken in the evening.
On the day of the ophthalmic testing it is recommended that the visual field test be performed 
in the morning (or when the subject is most alert). It is also recommended that the subject 
withholds the morning dose of investigational product until the ophthalmic tests are 
completed to reduce any potential effects of CNS events that may occur (eg, somnolence) 
with pregabalin which may interfere with testing. If the subject has taken the morning study 
dose of medication, testing should be performed when the subject is least probably affected 
by any potential CNS events that may occur to ensure the subject is optimally alert during the
test.
For the purposes of this study, and per International Conference on Harmonization (ICH)
guidelines investigational product is defined as a pharmaceutical form of an active ingredient 
or placebo being tested or used as a reference in a clinical trial, including a product with a 
marketing authorization when used or assembled (formulated or packaged) in a way different 
from the approved form, or when used for an unapproved indication, or when used to gain 
further information about an approved use (ICH E6 1.33).
5.1. Prohibited/Allowable Medications or Precautions
Apart from the background antiepileptics, administration of psychotropic compounds is 
prohibited during the trial, with the exception of a single antidepressant.  Benzodiazepine and 
barbiturate usage are not allowed in this study. Concurrent treatment with other 
investigational agents or devices is not allowed during the study. The prior or current use of 
vigabatrin is prohibited in this trial.
If it is necessary to alleviate insomnia during the study, zolpidem 10 mg or another non 
benzodiazepine hypnotic is permitted on an as needed (PRN) basis, but must not be taken for 
more than 4 nights per week, and must not be taken on a night before an ophthalmologic
study visit.

Page 21
5.2. Allocation to Treatment
Following the Baseline visit and after confirmation of the validity of the VFTs from the 
central reader, subjects will be randomized to receive either pregabalin or placebo.  Subjects 
will be randomly assigned to treatment regimens in a 1:1 ratio according to a
computer-generated random code.  Each subject will receive the lowest randomization 
number available at the site.
5.3. Breaking the Blind 
At the initiation of the trial, the trial site will be instructed on the method for breaking the 
blind.  The method will be either a manual or electronic process.  Blinding codes should only 
be broken in emergency situations for reasons of subject safety.  The investigator should 
contact Pfizer before breaking the blind.  When the blinding code is broken, the reason must 
be fully documented and entered on the case report form.  With the exception of such 
emergency code breaks, the blind for the study will be broken only after all subjects have 
completed or terminated from the study, data issues have been resolved, and the per protocol 
population has been determined.
5.4. Drug Supplies
5.4.1. Formulation and Packaging
Pregabalin capsules (75 mg and 150 mg) and matching placebo will be supplied by Pfizer.  
Investigational product will be assigned according to a randomization code prepared from 
specifications provided by the Clinical Statistics department.
Investigational product is formulated into size 0 grey/grey capsules and packaged into 
high-density polyethylene child-resistant bottles.
5.4.2. Preparation and Dispensing
The Sponsor will provide the investigational product that will be dispensed according to 
randomization code.  The investigator must verify and acknowledge the receipt of clinical 
drug supplies and retain related documentation.  A set of detailed dispensing instructions will 
be provided.
At Randomization, each subject will receive 1 bottle of investigational product capsules with 
the titration dose for the first week (pregabalin 75 mg BID (150 mg/day) or placebo BID).
At Week 1, the subject will receive 5 bottles containing capsules of the treatment dose
(pregabalin 150 mg BID (300 mg/day) or placebo BID).  At Week 6, the subject will receive 
6 bottles containing capsules of treatment dose (pregabalin 150 mg BID (300 mg/day) or 
placebo BID).  At Week 12, the subject will receive 1 bottle containing capsules for the taper
(pregabalin 75 mg BID (150 mg/day) or placebo BID).  All bottles will contain 3 days 
overage except the taper bottle that will contain only enough capsules for seven days.

5.4.3. Administration
Medication errors are reportable irrespective of the presence of an associated AE/SAE, 
including:

Medication errors involving patient exposure to the product. 

Potential medication errors or uses outside of what is foreseen in the protocol that do 
or do not involve the participating subject.
Whether or not the medication error is accompanied by an AE, as determined by the 
investigator, the medication error and, if applicable, any associated adverse event(s) is 
captured on an adverse event (AE) CRF page (refer to ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
section for further details).
The subjects will be recommended to take their first dose of investigational product the 
evening of their randomization visit. Dosing is BID, therefore subjects should take one 
capsule 2 times per day, except on Day 1 when the subject should take their first capsule in 
the evening. 
Subjects are to take a single capsule of investigational product from a single bottle at each 
dose. Subjects must not take more than 1 capsule per dose.  Subjects should take study 
capsules only from one bottle at a time. Doses should be administered at approximately the 
same time of day, without regard to meals, preferably as close to 12 hours apart as possible.  
All doses should be taken with 6 to 8 ounces of water.  Subjects must swallow the capsules 
intact.  Blinding will be maintained within each group by administering the same number of 
capsules of investigational product per day and by the fact that all capsules are identical in 
appearance.
Subjects will document each dose in a diary at the time of the dose. Reasons for any missed 
doses should also be recorded in the diary. The dosing diary is to be brought to each study 
visit and reviewed by the study team at the site and any correction should be made by the 
subject while they are at the site. 
5.4.4. Compliance
Subjects who are not fully compliant with investigational product as intended (<80% or 
>120% of doses taken) will be evaluated by the investigator for possible discontinuation 
from the study.  If the subject fails to take investigational product for 7 consecutive days the 
subject should be considered non compliant, and the investigator should consider 
discontinuing the subject from the study after confirming the decision with Pfizer.
5.5. Investigational Product Storage
The investigator, or an approved representative, eg, pharmacist, will ensure that all 
investigational products are stored in a secured area with controlled access under required 
storage conditions and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 23
Investigational product should be stored in its original container and in accordance with the 
label. See the Investigational Product Manual for storage conditions of the product.
Pregabalin is a controlled substance in the United States and must be handled and stored in 
accordance with state and federal regulations for controlled substances.
Storage conditions stated in the single reference safety document (SRSD) (eg, investigator’s 
brochure [IB]) will be superseded by the storage conditions stated in the labeling.
Site systems must be capable of measuring and documenting (for example, via a log), at a 
minimum, daily minimum and maximum temperatures for all site storage locations (as 
applicable, including frozen, refrigerated and/or room temperature products).  This should be 
captured from the time of investigational product receipt throughout the study.  Even for 
continuous monitoring systems, a log or site procedure that ensures active daily evaluation 
for excursions should be available.  The operation of the temperature monitoring device and 
storage unit (for example, refrigerator), as applicable, should be regularly inspected to ensure 
it is maintained in working order. 
Any excursions from the product label storage conditions should be reported upon discovery.
The site should actively pursue options for returning the product to the storage conditions as 
described in the labeling, as soon as possible.  Deviations from the storage requirements, 
including any actions taken, must be documented and reported to the sponsor.  Once an 
excursion is identified, the investigational product must be quarantined and not used until the 
sponsor provides documentation of permission to use the investigational product.  It will not 
be considered a protocol deviation if the sponsor approves the use of the investigational 
product after the temperature excursion.  Use of the investigational product prior to sponsor 
approval will be considered a protocol deviation.
Specific details regarding information the site should report for each excursion will be 
provided to the site.
Site staff will instruct subjects on the proper storage requirements for take home 
investigational products. 
5.6. Investigational Product Accountability
The investigative site must maintain adequate records documenting the receipt, use, loss, or 
other disposition of the investigational product supplies.  Subjects should bring all 
Investigational Product bottles to each study visit for review and accounting. Bottles no 
longer needed will be retained by the site. By the completion of the study all Investigational 
Product bottles are to be returned to the site. Do not transfer the investigational product from 
one bottle to another.

5.6.1. Destruction of Investigational Product Supplies 
The sponsor or designee will provide guidance on the destruction of unused investigational 
product (eg, at the site).  If destruction is authorized to take place at the study site, the 
investigator must ensure that the materials are destroyed in compliance with applicable 
environmental regulations, institutional policy, and any special instructions provided by 
Pfizer, and all destruction must be adequately documented.

An external eye examination will be performed to assess the general appearance of the eye.  
It will look at ocular motility to detect deviations from strabismus or a convergence defect.
The external eye examination will be conducted at the Screening (Visit 1) and Week 12
(Visit 6) visits, and at the Week 15 (Follow-up, Visit 7) visits if deemed necessary.
7.1.2. Direct and Indirect Funduscopy 
At Screening visit, direct and indirect funduscopy will be used to look at retinal morphology 
(dilated eyes).  Indirect funduscopy will be performed using a biomicroscope (slit lamp) and 
a Volk 90 diopter lens allowing evaluation of maculae and optic nerve. A 20 or 28 diopter 
lens can be used to evaluate the peripheral fundus and providing an overall view of the 
pigment epithelium.  Direct funduscopy may be performed using a manual ophthalmoscope 
and will examine the macular ocular disc vessels, looking especially for edema and 
alterations of the macular reflex.  Results will be collected on the Case Report Form (CRF).
Funduscopy will be conducted at Screening visit.
7.1.3. Best Corrected Visual Acuity
The best corrected visual acuity (with glasses or best possible glasses prescription) will be 
measured using the ETDRS charts.  The letters on chart A are read using the right eye and 
chart B using the left eye.
The subject starts the top of the chart and begins to read down the chart.  The subject reads 
down the chart until they reach a row where a minimum of three letters on a line cannot be 
read.  The subject is scored by how many letters could be correctly identified.
The number of correct letters identified by each eye will be collected into the CRF. 
Visual acuity will be measured at Screening (Visit 1), Baseline (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 5), 
and Week 12 (Visit 6) visits, and at Week 15 (Follow-up, Visit 7) visit if deemed necessary.  
The best corrected visual acuity should be obtained at each scheduled visit or repeat visit.  It 
should not be copied from a previous visit.
7.1.4. Visual Field Test
All investigators will receive extensive training at the investigator’s meeting and periodically 
throughout the study to improve the reliability of measurements by monitoring subject 
compliance and recognizing artifact in visual field examination.  Investigators should 
repeat/reschedule sessions when subjects have poor compliance or any difficulties which 
interferes with visual field testing. Ophthalmologists/ VFT technician should inquire prior to 
testing when the subject’s last seizure occurred to assess the possibility of ictal or post-ictal 
state to avoid interference with testing; the time of last dose of investigational product (it is 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 31
recommended that the subject withholds the morning dose of investigational product until 
after the VFT has been completed to reduce any potential effects of CNS events that may 
occur (eg, somnolence) with pregabalin which may interfere with testing).  If the subject has 
taken the morning study dose of medication, testing should be performed when the subject is 
least probably affected by any potential CNS events that may occur to ensure the subject is 
optimally alert during the test.
Prior to performing the computerized automated perimetry (Humphrey 24-2 SITA), pupil 
size will be measured and recorded and must be 3 mm or greater for VFT, otherwise the 
pupil must be dilated.  Visual fields will be measured using the Humphrey 24-2 SITA and 
analyzed using STATPAC according to the guidelines.  A detailed guideline is provided in 
the Appendix 2 of this document.  Because visual field results are strongly affected by 
experience, visual field tests will be repeated on two occasions at Screening and at Baseline 
visits.  A pre-test is recommended for all subjects who have never performed VFT.
All automated perimetry results will be read by a central reader within 3 working days of the 
examination.  If the central reader assesses the visual field exam to be of poor quality, the 
exam should be repeated as soon as possible within 2 weeks of being notified.  The repeat 
test will be performed only on the eye whose test was considered to give a poor result. 
Any subject who has a new loss of sensitivity at the p<.05 level in five or more points in the 
visual field will have a repeat exam as soon as possible within 2 weeks of receiving 
confirmation from the central reader.
VFT will be conducted at the Screening (Visit 1), Baseline (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 5), and 
Week 12 (Visit 6) visits as well as at the Week 15 (follow-up, Visit 7) visit if deemed 
necessary.
If a subject complains about their vision at the site it should be recorded as an adverse event 
like every other adverse event regardless of central reading.
If the subject does not complain about the vision and the central reader shows confirmed
deterioration based on the VFT this should not be collected as an adverse event because this 
is the study endpoint. 
7.2. Clinical Laboratory Tests
Laboratory
The following safety laboratory tests will be performed at the Screening (Visit 1) and 
Week 12 (Visit 6).

7.3. Vital Sign, Body Weight and Physical Examination
Vital signs (sitting heart rate and blood pressure) will be obtained at Screening (Visit 1), 
Baseline (Visit 2), Week 1 (Visit 4), Week 6 (Visit 5), Week 12 (Visit 6) and Early 
Termination (ET). BP will be measured with the subject’s arm supported at the level of the 
heart, and recorded to the nearest mm Hg.  The same arm (preferably the dominant arm) will 
be used throughout the trial. BP and heart rate will be measured after at least 5 minutes in 
sitting position.  When done manually, heart rate will be measured in the brachial/radial 
artery for at least 30 seconds.  The use of automated devices for measuring BP and heart rate 
are also acceptable.  Any clinically significant negative changes (increase or decrease) in 
vital signs from the entry examination should be recorded as an adverse event and/or based 
on the clinical judgment of the PI.
Body weight will be collected at Screening (Visit 1), Baseline (Visit 2), Week 1 (Visit 4), 
Week 6 (Visit 5), Week 12 (Visit 6), Week 15 (Visit 7) and Early Termination (ET). Any 
clinically significant negative changes (increase or decrease) from the entry examination 
should be recorded as an adverse event for weight and/or based on the clinical judgment of 
the PI.  
To reduce measurement variability of body weight, subjects should be weighed on the same 
scale at each visit that body weight is assessed; should not carry extraneous items such as
purses, blackberries, and cell phones onto the scale; should remove their coats and shoes 
before being weighed, and should empty their pockets of any heavy items.
A physical exam will be performed at Screening (V1) and Week 12 (Visit 6). Items included
will be:

General appearance – including height (at Screening only);

Skin – Examination for the presence of rash;

HEENT – Examination of extraocular movements, pupillary response, determination 
of nystagmus, and visual field examination by confrontation;

Lungs and Cardiovascular – Auscultation of lung fields, determination of BP, cardiac 
rhythm and rate auscultation for the presence of murmurs, gallops, or rubs;

Neurologic – Including mental status, station and gait, cranial nerves, motor and 
sensory function, reflexes, and coordination;

Abdominal – Palpation and auscultation performed.

A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 34
Additional physical assessment will be made as necessary to evaluate symptoms or adverse 
experiences at the discretion of the investigator.  Any clinically significant negative changes
on the physical examination from the entry examination should be recorded as an adverse 
event and/or based on the clinical judgment of the PI.
7.4. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
A 12-lead ECG (singlet) will be performed at Screening (Visit 1).  ECG should be performed 
after the subject has rested quietly for at least 10 minutes in a supine position.  ECG tracing 
will be evaluated by the investigator in a real time for the safety monitoring of the subjects.  
In some cases, it may be appropriate to repeat abnormal ECGs to rule out improper lead 
placement as contributing to the ECG abnormality.  It is important that leads are placed in the 
same positions each time in order to achieve precise ECG recordings.
7.5. Assessment of Suicidal Ideation and Behavior
Three tools are being used to assess for suicidal ideation and behavior during the study; the 
Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS), the Columbia-Suicidality Severity Rating Scale 
(C-SSRS) and the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire – Revised (SBQ-R). Subjects
randomized prior to Amendment 4 will only complete the S-STS.
7.5.1. Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS)
The Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS) is an 8-item prospective rating scale that 
tracks treatment-emergent suicidal ideation and behaviors. This scale was adapted from the 
Suicidality Module of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) Structured 
Diagnostic Interview for DSM-IV.  Items 1a, 2-6, 7a, and 8 are scored on a 5-point Likert 
scale (ranging from 0= not at all to 4=extremely).  Items 1, 1b, and 7 require yes or no 
responses.  This scale can be administered either by a clinician (ie, MD or a PhD level 
clinical Psychologist) or patient through self-report.  The baseline Lifetime Assessment will 
be completed at Screening and the “Since Last Visit” version will be completed at Baseline
(Visit 2), Randomization (Visit 3), Week 1 (Visit 4), Week 6 (Visit 5), Week 12 (Visit 6), 
Week 15 (Visit 7) and ET. 
Subjects randomized prior to Amendment 4 will complete the S-STS and not the C-SSRS or 
SBQ-R. Subjects enrolled/randomized after implementation of Amendment 4 will not 
complete the S-STS but will instead complete the C-SSRS and SBQ-R.
7.5.2. Columbia-Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The Columbia-Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a semi-structured interview 
developed in the National Institute of Mental Health Treatment of Adolescent Suicide 
Attempters Study to assess severity and track suicidal events through any treatment.14 The 
C-SSRS is being used in the current study to provide a summary measure of suicidal risks. 
This scale is to be completed by a trained clinician. Training materials on the scale will be 
provided to investigator sites by Pfizer. The Lifetime version is completed during the first 
visit and the Since Last Visit version will be completed at subsequent visits.

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 35
7.5.3. Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire – Revised (SBQ-R)
The SBQ-R is a 4-item; self-report questionnaire that assesses behaviors associated with 
suicidality.  The SBQ-R will be completed at Screening (V1) following implementation of 
Amendment 4. Subjects screened under Amendment 3 but continue under Amendment 4 
should complete the SBQ-R at the baseline or randomization visit.
7.5.4. Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ) 
The PHQ-8 is a self-administered version of the PRIME-MD diagnostic instrument for 
common mental disorders.  The PHQ-9 is the depression module, which scores each of the 9 
DSM-IV criteria as 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day).15  The PHQ-8, a validated subset of 
the PHQ-9, which comprises the first 8 items of the measure, will be completed by subjects 
at Screening (Visit 1). 
The score is the sum of items 1-8. A total score 15 indicates significant depression and 
requires mental health risk assessment.16
When scoring the PHQ-8, if more than one response is given on an item and two consecutive 
numbers are checked, score the higher (more distress) number; however, if the numbers are 
not consecutive, do not score the item. If more than 1 item is missing, the PHQ-8 should be 
reported as Not Done.
7.5.5. Assessment of Suicidal Ideation and Behavior During Screening
The Investigator will review the results of the STS (Lifetime), C-SSRS (Lifetime), SBQ-R, 
PHQ-8 and medical history.  The following criteria would indicate a potential risk:

Positive subject’s responses (score 1) on any of these S-STS questions:

1a (To what extent did you plan or intend to hurt yourself?), 

1b (Did you intend to die as a result of this accident?), 

both 3 and 4 (How seriously did you ever want to harm yourself or to hurt or to 
injure yourself? and Did you think about suicide?), 

5 (How seriously did you ever plan for a suicide?), 

6 (How seriously did you ever take active steps to prepare for a suicide attempt in 
which you expected or intended to die?),  

8 (How seriously did you ever attempt suicide?).

Suicidal ideation associated with actual intent and/or method and/or plan in the past 
year based on C-SSRS assessment (ie, ‘yes’ response to C-SSRS items 4 (Active 
suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or 5 (Active suicidal 
ideation with specific plan and intent)). 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 36

Any previous history of suicidal behaviors reported or documented within the past 
10 years.

For events that occurred within the past 10 years, an answer of “yes” to any of the 
suicidal behavior items of the C-SSRS.

SBQ-R total score 8. 

Clinically significant depression: PHQ-8 total score 15.

The presence of any current major psychiatric disorder that is not explicitly permitted 
in the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

In the investigator’s judgment a risk assessment or exclusion is required.
If any of these criteria are met and the subject is being considered for study participation, a 
risk assessment must be completed to determine whether it is appropriate for the subject to be 
enrolled. 
Risk assessments should be done by a qualified mental health professional (MHP).  A
qualified MHP is a clinically-qualified MHP with appropriate training in the assessment of 
suicide risk, according to local clinical practice standards and regulations, who would 
normally evaluate the risk for suicidal ideation or behavior in a patient. In the United States, 
in addition to psychiatrists (board certified or board eligible), clinically qualified MHPs 
include the following: (1) Psy.D. or Ph.D. level Clinical Psychologists, (2) licensed Master’s 
level Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), or (3) licensed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners (PNP), 
who have specific training and experience in the assessment and management of acutely 
suicidal patients.
The MHP may be a member of study site team.  If an MHP is not available within the study 
team, the Investigator should make the necessary referral.
The Investigator must obtain and review the risk assessment prior to the subject continuing in 
the study.  A written copy of the risk assessment should be included in the subject’s clinical 
record (source documentation).
7.5.6. Assessment of Suicidal Behavior and Ideation During the Clinical Trial
Beginning with Visit 2, if there are any positive response:

On the S-STS (Since Last Visit version) items 1a, 1b, both 3 and 4, 5, 6, or 8;
or

On items 4, 5, or on any behavioral question of the C-SSRS (Since Last Visit 
version).

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 37
A risk assessment should be done by a qualified MHP to determine whether it is safe for the 
subject to continue to participate in the trial. 
Suicidal risk should be managed appropriately by the Investigator together with a qualified
MHP (or the Investigator alone if the Investigator is a qualified MHP).  In addition, the 
Investigator should consult with the Pfizer medical monitor to determine whether the subject 
can continue the trial. 
A narrative should be prepared for subjects who have undergone any post-baseline risk 
assessment, using relevant information from the STS, C-SSRS and risk assessment.  
7.6. Patient Assessment of Seizure Frequency 
Global change of seizure frequency will be rated as increased, no change or decreased by 
patient at Visit 6 (Week 12) or Early Termination (ET).
8. ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
8.1. Adverse Events
All observed or volunteered AEs regardless of treatment group or suspected causal 
relationship to the investigational product(s) will be reported as described in the following 
sections. 
For all AEs, the investigator must pursue and obtain information adequate both to determine 
the outcome of the AE and to assess whether it meets the criteria for classification as an SAE 
requiring immediate notification to Pfizer or its designated representative.  For all AEs, 
sufficient information should be obtained by the investigator to determine the causality of the 
AE.  The investigator is required to assess causality.  Follow-up by the investigator may be 
required until the event or its sequelae resolve or stabilize at a level acceptable to the 
investigator, and Pfizer concurs with that assessment.  
As part of ongoing safety reviews conducted by the Sponsor, any non-serious adverse event 
that is determined by the Sponsor to be serious will be reported by the Sponsor as an SAE.  
To assist in the determination of case seriousness further information may be requested from 
the investigator to provide clarity and understanding of the event in the context of the clinical 
trial.  
8.2. Reporting Period
For SAEs, the active reporting period to Pfizer or its designated representative begins from 
the time that the subject provides informed consent, which is obtained prior to the subject’s 
participation in the study, ie, prior to undergoing any study-related procedure and/or 
receiving investigational product, through and including 28 calendar days after the last 
administration of the investigational product.  SAEs occurring to a subject after the active 
reporting period has ended should be reported to the sponsor if the investigator becomes 
aware of them; at a minimum, all SAEs that the investigator believes have at least a 
reasonable possibility of being related to investigational product are to be reported to the 
sponsor.

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 38

AEs (serious and non-serious) should be recorded on the CRF from the time the 
subject has taken at least one dose of investigational product through the subject’s last
visit.
8.3. Definition of an Adverse Event
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a 
product or medical device; the event need not necessarily have a causal relationship with the 
treatment or usage.  Examples of AEs include but are not limited to:  

Abnormal test findings;

Clinically significant symptoms and signs;

Changes in physical examination findings;

Hypersensitivity;

Progression/worsening of underlying disease;

Drug abuse;

Drug dependency.
Additionally, they may include the signs or symptoms resulting from:

Drug overdose;

Drug withdrawal;

Drug misuse; 

Drug interactions;

Extravasation;

Exposure during pregnancy (EDP);

Exposure via breastfeeding;

Medication error;

Occupational exposure.

A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 39
8.4. Medication Errors
Medication errors may result, in this study, from the administration or consumption of the 
wrong product, by the wrong subject, at the wrong time, or at the wrong dosage strength.  
Such medication errors occurring to a study participant are to be captured on the medication 
error CRF, which is a specific version of the AE page, and on the SAE form when 
appropriate. In the event of medication dosing error, the sponsor should be notified 
immediately.
Medication errors are reportable irrespective of the presence of an associated AE/SAE, 
including:

Medication errors involving subject exposure to the investigational product;

Potential medication errors or uses outside of what is foreseen in the protocol that do 
or do not involve the participating subject.
Whether or not the medication error is accompanied by an AE, as determined by the 
investigator, the medication error is captured on the medication error version of the AE page 
and, if applicable, any associated AE(s) are captured on an AE CRF page.
8.5. Abnormal Test Findings
The criteria for determining whether an abnormal objective test finding should be reported as 
an AE are as follows: 

Test result is associated with accompanying symptoms, and/or

Test result requires additional diagnostic testing or medical/surgical intervention, 
and/or

Test result leads to a change in study dosing or discontinuation from the study, 
significant additional concomitant drug treatment, or other therapy, and/or

Test result is considered to be an AE by the investigator or sponsor.
Merely repeating an abnormal test, in the absence of any of the above conditions, does not 
constitute an AE.  Any abnormal test result that is determined to be an error does not require 
reporting as an AE.
8.6. Serious Adverse Events
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that:

Results in death;

Is life-threatening (immediate risk of death);

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization;

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 40

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the 
ability to conduct normal life functions);

Results in congenital anomaly/birth defect;

Lack of efficacy should be reported as an AE when it is associated with an SAE.
Medical and scientific judgment is exercised in determining whether an event is an important 
medical event.  An important medical event may not be immediately life-threatening and/or 
result in death or hospitalization.  However, if it is determined that the event may jeopardize 
the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other AE outcomes, the 
important medical event should be reported as 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; 
or development of drug dependency or drug abuse.
8.6.1. Protocol-Specified Serious Adverse Events 
There are no protocol-specified SAEs in this study.  All SAEs will be reported by the 
investigator as described in previous sections, and will be handled as SAEs in the safety 
database (see the section on Serious Adverse Event Reporting Requirements).
8.6.2. Potential Cases of Drug-Induced Liver Injury 
Abnormal values in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 
levels concurrent with abnormal elevations in total bilirubin level that meet the criteria 
outlined below in the absence of other causes of liver injury are considered potential cases of 
drug-induced liver injury (potential Hy’s Law cases) and should always be considered 
important medical events.  
The threshold of laboratory abnormalities for a potential case of drug-induced liver injury 
depends on the subject’s individual baseline values and underlying conditions. Subjects who 
present with the following laboratory abnormalities should be evaluated further to 
definitively determine the etiology of the abnormal laboratory values:

Subjects with AST or ALT and total bilirubin baseline values within the normal range 
who subsequently present with AST or ALT values 3 times the upper limit of 
normal (X ULN) concurrent with a total bilirubin value 2 X ULN with no evidence 
of hemolysis and an alkaline phosphatase value 2 X ULN or not available.

For subjects with preexisting ALT OR AST OR total bilirubin values above the 
upper limit of normal, the following threshold values should be used in the definition
mentioned above:

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 41

For subjects with pre-existing AST or ALT baseline values above the normal 
range: AST or ALT 2 times the baseline values and 3 X ULN, or 8 X ULN 
(whichever is smaller).

Concurrent with

For subjects with pre-existing values of total bilirubin above the normal range: 
Total bilirubin level increased from baseline by an amount of at least 1 × ULN or
if the value reaches 3 × ULN (whichever is smaller).
The subject should return to the investigational site and be evaluated as soon as possible, 
preferably within 48 hours from awareness of the abnormal results.  This evaluation should 
include laboratory tests, detailed history and physical assessment.  In addition to repeating 
measurements of AST and ALT, laboratory tests should include albumin, creatine kinase, 
total bilirubin, direct and indirect bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, prothrombin time 
(PT)/INR, and alkaline phosphatase.  A detailed history, including relevant information, such 
as review of ethanol, acetaminophen, recreational drug and supplement consumption, family 
history, occupational exposure, sexual history, travel history, history of contact with a 
jaundiced subject, surgery, blood transfusion, history of liver or allergic disease, and work 
exposure, should be collected.  Further testing for acute hepatitis A, B, or C infection and 
liver imaging (eg, biliary tract) may be warranted. All cases confirmed on repeat testing as 
meeting the laboratory criteria defined above, with no other cause for LFT abnormalities
identified at the time should be considered potential Hy’s Law cases irrespective of 
availability of all the results of the investigations performed to determine etiology of the 
abnormal LFTs. Such potential Hy’s Law cases should be reported as SAEs.
8.7. Hospitalization
Hospitalization is defined as any initial admission (even less than 24 hours) in a hospital or 
equivalent healthcare facility or any prolongation of an existing admission.  Admission also 
includes transfer within the hospital to an acute/intensive care unit (eg, from the psychiatric 
wing to a medical floor, medical floor to a coronary care unit, or neurological floor to a 
tuberculosis unit).  An emergency room visit does not necessarily constitute a hospitalization; 
however, the event leading to the emergency room visit should be assessed for medical 
importance.
Hospitalization does not include the following:

Rehabilitation facilities;

Hospice facilities;

Respite care (eg, caregiver relief);

Skilled nursing facilities;

Nursing homes;

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 42

Same day surgeries (as outpatient/same day/ambulatory procedures).
Hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization in the absence of a precipitating, clinical 
AE is not in itself an SAE.  Examples include: 

Admission for treatment of a preexisting condition not associated with the 
development of a new AE or with a worsening of the preexisting condition (eg, for 
work-up of persistent pre-treatment lab abnormality);

Social admission (eg, subject has no place to sleep);

Administrative admission (eg, for yearly physical examination);

Protocol-specified admission during a study (eg, for a procedure required by the study 
protocol);

Optional admission not associated with a precipitating clinical AE (eg, for elective 
cosmetic surgery);

Hospitalization for observation without a medical AE;

Pre-planned treatments or surgical procedures.  These should be noted in the baseline 
documentation for the entire protocol and/or for the individual subject.
Diagnostic and therapeutic non-invasive and invasive procedures, such as surgery, should not 
be reported as AEs. However, the medical condition for which the procedure was performed 
should be reported if it meets the definition of an AE.  For example, an acute appendicitis 
that begins during the AE reporting period should be reported as the AE, and the resulting 
appendectomy should be recorded as treatment of the AE.
8.8. Severity Assessment
If required on the AE case report forms (CRFs), the investigator will use the adjectives 
MILD, MODERATE, or SEVERE to describe the maximum intensity of the AE.  For 
purposes of consistency, these intensity grades are defined as follows:
MILD
Does not interfere with subject's usual function.
MODERATE
Interferes to some extent with subject's usual function.
SEVERE
Interferes significantly with subject's usual function.
Note the distinction between the severity and the seriousness of an AE.  A severe event is not 
necessarily an SAE.  For example, a headache may be severe (interferes significantly with 
subject's usual function) but would not be classified as serious unless it met one of the 
criteria for SAEs, listed above.

8.9. Causality Assessment
The investigator’s assessment of causality must be provided for all AEs (serious and non-
serious); the investigator must record the causal relationship in the CRF, as appropriate, and 
report such an assessment in accordance with the serious adverse reporting requirements if 
applicable.  An investigator’s causality assessment is the determination of whether there 
exists a reasonable possibility that the investigational product caused or contributed to an 
AE; generally the facts (evidence) or arguments to suggest a causal relationship should be 
provided.  If the investigator does not know whether or not the investigational product caused 
the event, then the event will be handled as “related to investigational product” for reporting 
purposes, as defined by the Sponsor (see Section on Reporting Requirements).  If the
investigator's causality assessment is "unknown but not related to investigational product", 
this should be clearly documented on study records.  
In addition, if the investigator determines an SAE is associated with study procedures, the 
investigator must record this causal relationship in the source documents and CRF, as 
appropriate, and report such an assessment in accordance with the SAE reporting 
requirements, if applicable.
8.10. Exposure During Pregnancy
For both unapproved/unlicensed products and for marketed products, an exposure during 
pregnancy occurs if:
1. A female becomes, or is found to be, pregnant either while receiving or having been 
exposed (eg, because of treatment or environmental exposure) to the investigational 
product; or the female becomes or is found to be pregnant after discontinuing and/or 
being exposed to the investigational product; 
An example of environmental exposure would be a case involving direct contact with 
a Pfizer product in a pregnant woman (eg, a nurse reports that she is pregnant and has 
been exposed to chemotherapeutic products).
2. A male has been exposed (eg, because of treatment or environmental exposure) to the 
investigational product prior to or around the time of conception and/or is exposed 
during his partner’s pregnancy. 
If a study subject or study subject’s partner becomes or is found to be pregnant during the 
study subject’s treatment with the investigational product, the investigator must submit this 
information to the Pfizer drug safety unit on an SAE report form and an EDP supplemental 
form, regardless of whether an SAE has occurred.  In addition, the investigator must submit
information regarding environmental exposure to a Pfizer product in a pregnant woman (eg, a 
subject reports that she is pregnant and has been exposed to a cytotoxic product by inhalation 
or spillage) using the EDP supplemental form.  This must be done irrespective of whether an 
AE has occurred and within 24 hours of awareness of the exposure.  The information 
submitted should include the anticipated date of delivery (see below for information related 
to termination of pregnancy).

Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 44
Follow-up is conducted to obtain general information on the pregnancy and its outcome for 
all EDP reports with an unknown outcome.  The investigator will follow the pregnancy until 
completion (or until pregnancy termination) and notify Pfizer of the outcome as a follow-up 
to the initial EDP supplemental form.  In the case of a live birth, the structural integrity of the 
neonate can be assessed at the time of birth.  In the event of a termination, the reason(s) for 
termination should be specified and, if clinically possible, the structural integrity of the 
terminated fetus should be assessed by gross visual inspection (unless preprocedure test 
findings are conclusive for a congenital anomaly and the findings are reported).
If the outcome of the pregnancy meets the criteria for an SAE (ie, ectopic pregnancy, 
spontaneous abortion, intrauterine fetal demise, neonatal death, or congenital anomaly [in a 
live-born baby, a terminated fetus, an intrauterine fetal demise, or a neonatal death]), the 
investigator should follow the procedures for reporting SAEs.
Additional information about pregnancy outcomes that are reported as SAEs follows: 

Spontaneous abortion includes miscarriage and missed abortion;

Neonatal deaths that occur within 1 month of birth should be reported, without regard 
to causality, as SAEs.  In addition, infant deaths after 1 month should be reported as 
SAEs when the investigator assesses the infant death as related or possibly related to 
exposure to the investigational product. 
Additional information regarding the EDP may be requested by the investigator.  Further 
follow-up of birth outcomes will be handled on a case-by-case basis (eg, follow-up on 
preterm infants to identify developmental delays).  In the case of paternal exposure, the 
investigator will provide the study subject with the Pregnant Partner Release of Information 
Form to deliver to his partner.  The investigator must document in the source documents that 
the subject was given the Pregnant Partner Release of Information Form to provide to his 
partner.
8.11. Occupational Exposure
An occupational exposure occurs when, during the performance of job duties, a person 
(whether a healthcare professional or otherwise) gets in unplanned direct contact with the 
product, which may or may not lead to the occurrence of an AE.
An occupational exposure is reported to the drug safety unit within 24 hours of the 
investigator’s awareness, using the SAE report form, regardless of whether there is an 
associated AE/SAE.  Since the information does not pertain to a subject enrolled in the study, 
the information is not reported on a CRF; however, a copy of the completed SAE report form 
is maintained in the investigator site file.
8.12. Withdrawal Due to Adverse Events (See Also Section 6.4 Subject Withdrawal)
Withdrawal due to AE should be distinguished from withdrawal due to other causes, 
according to the definition of AE noted earlier, and recorded on the appropriate AE CRF 
page.  

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 45
When a subject withdraws because of an SAE, the SAE must be reported in accordance with 
the reporting requirements defined below.
8.13. Eliciting Adverse Event Information
The investigator is to report all directly observed AEs and all AEs spontaneously reported by
the study subject.  In addition, each study subject will be questioned about AEs.
8.14. Reporting Requirements
Each AE is to be assessed to determine if it meets the criteria for SAEs.  If an SAE occurs, 
expedited reporting will follow local and international regulations, as appropriate.
8.14.1. Serious Adverse Event Reporting Requirements
If an SAE occurs, Pfizer is to be notified within 24 hours of investigator awareness of the 
event.  
In particular, if the SAE is fatal or life-threatening, notification to Pfizer must be made 
immediately, irrespective of the extent of available AE information.  This timeframe also 
applies to additional new information (follow-up) on previously forwarded SAE reports as 
well as to the initial and follow-up reporting of exposure during pregnancy, exposure via 
breastfeeding, and occupational exposure cases.  
In the rare event that the investigator does not become aware of the occurrence of an SAE 
immediately (eg, if an outpatient study subject initially seeks treatment elsewhere), the 
investigator is to report the event within 24 hours after learning of it and document the time 
of his/her first awareness of the AE.
For all SAEs, the investigator is obligated to pursue and provide information to Pfizer in 
accordance with the timeframes for reporting specified above.  In addition, an investigator 
may be requested by Pfizer to obtain specific additional follow-up information in an 
expedited fashion.  This information collected for SAEs is more detailed than that captured 
on the AE CRF.  In general, this will include a description of the AE in sufficient detail to 
allow for a complete medical assessment of the case and independent determination of 
possible causality.  Information on other possible causes of the event, such as concomitant 
medications, vaccines and/or illnesses must be provided.  In the case of a subject death, a 
summary of available autopsy findings must be submitted as soon as possible to Pfizer or its 
designated representative. 
8.14.2. Non-Serious Adverse Event Reporting Requirements
All AEs will be reported on the AE page(s) of the CRF.  It should be noted that the form for 
collection of SAE information is not the same as the AE CRF.  Where the same data are 
collected, the forms must be completed in a consistent manner.  For example, the same AE 
term should be used on both forms.  AEs should be reported using concise medical 
terminology on the CRFs as well as on the form for collection of SAE information.

8.14.3. Sponsor Reporting Requirements to Regulatory Authorities
Adverse event reporting, including suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions, will be 
carried out in accordance with applicable local regulations.
9. DATA ANALYSIS/STATISTICAL METHODS
9.1. Sample Size Determination
The study will be powered to show non-inferiority of pregabalin with respect to placebo on 
the mean deviation score from the Humphrey threshold test, a secondary endpoint.
Non-inferiority from placebo will be declared with respect to mean deviation if the lower 
bound of the 95% 2-sided confidence interval of the difference in mean deviation scores 
between pregabalin and placebo is greater than -2.0 decibels (dB). Assuming the mean 
deviation scores to be equal and assuming estimated common standard deviation of 1.3 dB, 
then the proposed sample size of 187 subjects will provide greater than 85% power to show 
non-inferiority of pregabalin to placebo. 
The estimated common standard deviation of 1.3 dB, from the 15 March 2019 dataset 
prepared for the annual Internal Review Committee (IRC) blinded review (refer to 
Section 9.6), was used to re-estimate the sample size for the secondary endpoints. Previously, 
at the time of study design, a common standard deviation of 5.6 dB had been used for the 
sample size determination based on literature.12 Table 1 below used common standard 
deviation (1.3) and the number of enrolled subjects (n=187) to estimate the study power.

repeated decrease in the same 5 visual field points, with non-inferiority declared if the upper 
bound of the 95% confidence interval for the difference between pregabalin and placebo does 
not exceed 10% and assuming a proportion of subjects meeting primary endpoint definition 
of 1% for both groups. Table 2 below provided the estimated power for the primary 
endpoint.

9.3. Analysis of Other Endpoints
Not Applicable.
9.4. Safety Analysis
9.4.1. Analysis of Primary Endpoint

Definition: The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a decrease in the 
threshold value from baseline to termination in five or more points (in either eye) at 
the p<.05 level repeated in the same five points on subsequent computerized 
automated perimetry testing (Humphrey 24-2 SITA standard).

Baseline: Baseline is determined from the last VFTs prior to receiving investigational 
product.  A point will be considered abnormal at baseline only if it was abnormal 
(<0.05) at both baseline tests.

Termination: Termination is the VFT done at Week 12 (including a repeat test if 
applicable).  For subjects who did not complete the study, the last available test(s) 
after Day 1 will be used.  Data will not be imputed for subjects who do not have any 
VFTs after baseline; rather, such subjects will be treated as missing values.

Comparison: The difference in proportions between pregabalin and placebo will be 
compared using a 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI). Non-inferiority will be 
demonstrated if the upper CI bound is less than 0.10 (10%).

Populations: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population is defined as all subjects 
randomized to treatment who received at least one dose of investigational product.  
The Per Protocol population is a subset of the ITT population, and excludes subjects 
who had a decrease in at least 5 points at termination but did not return for a repeat 
test.  The Per Protocol population may also exclude subjects with major protocol 
violations; the list of subjects excluded will be determined prior to breaking the blind.  
The primary analysis will be performed on the Per Protocol population, the 
expectation is that the Per Protocol subset will be close in the number of subjects to 
the number of subjects randomized.  A supplementary analysis of the primary 
parameter will be performed using the ITT population.
9.4.2. Analysis of Secondary Endpoints
9.4.3. Mean Deviation
Change in mean deviation from baseline to termination will be computed for each subject.  
Baseline mean deviation will be the average of the two mean deviations from the Baseline 
visit, and termination mean deviation will be the mean deviation at the Week 12 visit (or the 
last available after Day 1 for subjects who terminate early).  If a repeat test was done at 
termination, the mean deviation from the repeat test will be used.  For each subject, the worst 
eye (ie, the eye with the greatest decrease in mean deviation) will be used in the analysis.  
Change in mean deviation will be analyzed for the ITT population using analysis of 
covariance (ANCOVA), with treatment and center in the model and the baseline mean
deviation as the covariate.  Least squares means will be obtained from the model and a 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 48
2-sided 95% confidence interval will be constructed on the difference in least squares means 
between pregabalin and placebo.  Non-inferiority with respect to mean deviation will be 
demonstrated if the lower bound of the CI is greater than –2.0 dB.
9.4.4. Visual Acuity
Visual acuity (best-corrected, measured using ETDRS charts) is expressed in terms of 
number of letters correctly identified.  Change in visual acuity from baseline to termination 
will be computed for each subject.  Baseline will be defined as the last visual acuity 
assessment prior to receiving investigational product, and termination will be the visual 
acuity assessment at the Week 12 visit (or the last available after Day 1 for subjects who 
terminate early).  If acuity was assessed at a repeat visit at termination, the acuity from the 
repeat test will be used. For each subject, the worst eye (ie, the eye with the greatest 
decrease in visual acuity) will be used in the analysis.  Change in visual acuity will be 
analyzed for the ITT population using ANCOVA, with treatment and center in the model and 
the baseline acuity as the covariate.
9.4.5. Other Safety Measurements
Other safety parameters, including adverse events, physical examination results, vital signs, 
body weight, clinical laboratory results, and subject assessment of seizure frequency as 
compared to before taking investigational product, and C-SSRS/S-STS, will be summarized 
by treatment group, but not analyzed inferentially.
9.5. Interim Analysis
N/A.
9.6. Data Monitoring Committee
This study will use an Internal Review Committee (IRC).  
The IRC will be responsible for ongoing monitoring of safety of subjects in the study 
according to the Charter.  The recommendations made by the IRC to alter the conduct of the 
study will be forwarded to the clinical lead or delegate for final decision.  Pfizer will forward 
such decisions, which may include summaries of aggregate analyses of endpoint events and 
of safety data which are not endpoints, to regulatory authorities, as appropriate.  
10. QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Pfizer or its agent will conduct periodic monitoring visits during trial conduct to ensure that 
the protocol and Global Clinical Practices are being followed.  The monitors may review 
source documents to confirm that the data recorded on CRFs are accurate.  The investigator 
and institution will allow Pfizer monitors/auditors or its agents and appropriate regulatory 
authorities direct access to source documents to perform this verification.  This verification 
may also occur after study completion.

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 49
During study conduct and/or after study completion, the study site may be subject to review 
by the institutional review board (IRB)/ethics committee (EC), and/or to quality assurance 
audits performed by Pfizer, or companies working with or on behalf of Pfizer, and/or to 
inspection by appropriate regulatory authorities.
The investigator(s) will notify Pfizer or its agents immediately of any regulatory inspection 
notification in relation to the study. Furthermore, the investigator will cooperate with Pfizer 
or its agents to prepare the study site for the inspection and will allow Pfizer or its agent, 
whenever feasible, to be present during the inspection. The investigator will promptly 
provide copies of the inspection findings to Pfizer or its agent.  Before response submission 
to the regulatory authorities, the investigator will provide Pfizer or its agents with an 
opportunity to review and comment on responses to any such findings.
It is important that the investigator(s) and their relevant personnel are available during the 
monitoring visits and possible audits or inspections and that sufficient time is devoted to the 
process.
11. DATA HANDLING AND RECORD KEEPING
11.1. Case Report Forms/Electronic Data Record
As used in this protocol, the term Case Report Form (CRF) should be understood to refer to 
either a paper form or an electronic data record or both, depending on the data collection 
method used in this trial.
A CRF is required and should be completed for each included subject.  The completed 
original CRFs are the sole property of Pfizer and should not be made available in any form to 
third parties, except for authorized representatives of Pfizer or appropriate regulatory 
authorities, without written permission from Pfizer.
It is the investigator's responsibility to ensure completion and to review and approve all 
CRFs.  CRFs must be signed by the investigator or by an authorized staff member.  These 
signatures serve to attest that the information contained on the CRFs is true.  At all times, the 
investigator has final personal responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of all clinical 
and laboratory data entered on the CRFs.  Subject source documents are the physician's 
subject records maintained at the trial site.  In most cases, the source documents will be the 
hospital's or the physician's chart.  In cases where the source documents are the hospital or 
the physician's chart, the information collected on the CRFs must match those charts. 
In some cases, the CRF may also serve as the source document.  In these cases, Pfizer and 
the investigator must prospectively document which items will be recorded in the source 
documents and for which items the CRF will stand as the source document.

11.2. Record Retention
To enable evaluations and/or audits from regulatory authorities or Pfizer, the investigator 
agrees to keep records, including the identity of all participating subjects (sufficient
information to link records, eg, CRFs and hospital records), all original signed informed 
consent forms, copies of all CRFs, serious adverse event forms, source documents, and 
detailed records of treatment disposition.  The records should be retained by the investigator 
according to ICH, local regulations, or as specified in the Clinical Study Agreement, 
whichever is longer.
If the investigator relocates, retires, or for any reason withdraws from the trial, Pfizer should 
be prospectively notified.  The trial records must be transferred to an acceptable designee, 
such as another investigator, another institution, or to Pfizer.  The investigator must obtain 
Pfizer's written permission before disposing of any records, even if retention requirements 
have been met.
12. ETHICS
12.1. Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)
It is the responsibility of the investigator to have prospective approval of the trial protocol, 
protocol amendments, informed consent forms, and other relevant documents, 
eg, advertisements, if applicable, from the IRB/IEC.  All correspondence with the IRB/IEC 
should be retained in the Investigator File.  Copies of IRB/IEC approvals should be 
forwarded to Pfizer.
The only circumstance in which an amendment may be initiated prior to IRB/IEC approval is 
where the change is necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazards to the subjects.  In 
that event, the investigator must notify the IRB/IEC and Pfizer in writing within 5 working 
days after the implementation.
12.2. Ethical Conduct of the Trial
The trial will be performed in accordance with the protocol, International Conference on 
Harmonization Good Clinical Practice guidelines, and applicable local regulatory 
requirements and laws.
12.3. Subject Information and Consent
All parties will ensure protection of subject personal data and will not include subject names 
on any sponsor forms, reports, publications, or in any other disclosures.  In case of data 
transfer, Pfizer will maintain high standards of confidentiality and protection of subject 
personal data.
The informed consent form must be agreed to by Pfizer and the IRB/IEC and must be in 
compliance with ICH GCP, local regulatory requirements, and legal requirements.

Pregabalin

Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 51
The investigator must ensure that each trial subject, or his/her legally acceptable 
representative, is fully informed about the nature and objectives of the trial and possible risks 
associated with participation.  The investigator, or a person designated by the investigator, 
will obtain written informed consent from each subject or the subject's legally acceptable 
representative before any trial-specific activity is performed.  The informed consent form 
used in this trial, and any changes made during the course of the trial, must be prospectively 
approved by both the IRB/IEC and Pfizer before use.  The investigator will retain the original 
of each subject's signed consent form.
12.4. Reporting of Safety Issues and Serious Breaches of the Protocol or ICH GCP
In the event of any prohibition or restriction imposed (ie, clinical hold) by an applicable 
Competent Authority in any area of the World, or if the investigator is aware of any new 
information which might influence the evaluation of the benefits and risks of the 
investigational product, Pfizer should be informed immediately.  
In addition, the investigator will inform Pfizer immediately of any urgent safety measures 
taken by the investigator to protect the study subjects against any immediate hazard, and of
any serious breaches of this protocol or of ICH GCP that the investigator becomes aware of.
13. DEFINITION OF END OF TRIAL
13.1. End of Trial in all Participating Countries
End of Trial in all participating countries is defined as Last Subject Last Visit.
13.2. End of Trial in a Member State of European Union
End of Trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it is 
deemed that sufficient subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated in the 
regulatory application (ie, Clinical Study Application (CTA)) and ethics application in the 
Member State.  Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated number in the CTA) by 
a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but is considered a normal 
conclusion to the study in that Member State.
14. SPONSOR DISCONTINUATION CRITERIA
Premature termination of this clinical trial may occur because of a regulatory authority 
decision, change in opinion of the IRB/IEC, drug safety problems, or at the discretion of 
Pfizer.  If a trial is prematurely terminated or discontinued, Pfizer will promptly notify the 
investigator.  After notification, the investigator must contact all participating subjects within 
72 hours.  As directed by Pfizer, all trial materials must be collected and all CRFs completed 
to the greatest extent possible.

Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 53
publication or other type of disclosure of the results of the study (collectively, “Publication”) 
before it is submitted or otherwise disclosed.
The investigator will provide any publication to Pfizer at least 30 days before they are 
submitted for publication or otherwise disclosed.  If any patent action is required to protect 
intellectual property rights, the investigator agrees to delay the disclosure for a period not to 
exceed an additional 60 days.
The investigator will, on request, remove any previously undisclosed confidential 
information before disclosure, except for any study- or Pfizer product-related information 
necessary to the appropriate scientific presentation or understanding of the study results.
If the study is part of a multicenter study, the investigator agrees that the first publication is 
to be a joint publication covering all study sites, and that any subsequent publications by the
principal investigator will reference that primary publication.  However, if a joint manuscript 
has not been submitted for publication within 12 months of completion or termination of the 
study at all participating sites, the investigator is free to publish separately, subject to the 
other requirements of this section.
For all publications relating to the study, the institution will comply with recognized ethical 
standards concerning publications and authorship, including Section II - “Ethical 
Considerations in the Conduct and Reporting of Research” of the Uniform Requirements for 
Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, http://www.icmje.org/index.html#authorship,

Publication of study results is also provided for in the Clinical Study Agreement (CSA)
between Pfizer and the institution.  In this section entitled PUBLICATION OF TRIAL 
RESULTS, the defined terms shall have the meanings given to them in the CSA.
If there is any conflict between the CSA and any Attachments to it, the terms of the CSA 
control.  If there is any conflict between this protocol and the CSA, this protocol will control 
as to any issue regarding treatment of study subjects, and the CSA will control as to all other 
issues.

Appendix 2. Special Notes about Visual Field Testing
Even though the Humphrey Field Analyzer is programmed with highly refined testing and 
analysis methods, the technician continues to play a central role.  Without proper 
management and instruction, the results of perimetric examinations are often of poor quality.
Only central reader trained, certified perimetrists will administer VFT in this study.  
Confirmation of perimetrist qualified to perform VFT will be documented.
Important Instructions for the perimetrist
The chair height and instrument height should be adjusted for subject comfort. 
It is particularly important to tell the subject what to expect during the test.  At the beginning 
of the test you should explain/show to your subject:

The task;

What the stimulus will look like, where it might appear;

How long the test will last;

When blinks are allowed;

How to sit;

How to pause the test;

That more than half of the stimuli shown in a threshold test will be too dim to be seen 
and that the stimuli that are seen are likely to be barely visible.
The perimetrist must be available to monitor the entire test to ensure the subject 
remains in the proper position.
Intercede a test
During the test, the perimetrist may pause the procedure if he/she detects obvious artifact(s).  
The test may be resumed after a 5–10 minute break.  Investigators/perimetrist can 
repeat/reschedule sessions for another time when subjects have poor compliance that 
interferes with visual field testing. 
Timing of the test
It is recommended that all the visual field testing be performed in the morning (or when the 
subject is most alert), and it is recommended that the subject withholds the morning dose of 
the investigational product until the ophthalmic tests are completed to reduce any potential 
CNS effects - that may occur (eg, somnolence) with pregabalin which may interfere with 

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 58
testing. If the subject has taken the morning study dose of medication, testing should be 
performed when the subject is least probably affected by any potential CNS events that may 
occur to ensure the subject is optimally alert during the test.
Common artifacts 
Common false patterns may be caused by:

Lack of previous perimetric experience;

Droopy eye lid – place a surgical tape between eye lid and eye brow;

Misaligned correction lenses;

Subject anxiety – counsel subject prior to testing.
Role of Central Reader/Reading Center  
It is the responsibility of central reader/reading center to ensure VFTs are collected properly 
and accurately.  The central reader /reading center is responsible for: 
Training 

All investigators and staff who will perform study procedures will receive extensive 
training. Refresher training may be offered periodically throughout the study as 
needed;

Completion of training and approval of perimetrist will be documented;

Investigator and staff will not perform the tests until they have been certified by 
central reader.
During the study, the center reader performs the following:

Confirms VFT outcomes and decides if a repeat is necessary.  This result will be 
communicated to the site within 72 hours of receiving test results;

Review VFT conduct and quality control on a monthly basis.  Communicate results 
with the sponsor. Implement improvement measurements as necessary;

Tabulated (post-processed) data will be electronically transferred to Pfizer from the 
Central Reader for storage and data analysis as specified in Statistical Analysis Plan 
(SAP).

Change From
Pregabalin (Lyrica) has been approved in over 50 110 countries to date for varying 
neuropathic pain indications and for adjunctive treatment of patients with partial seizures and 
for generalized anxiety disorder.  Lyrica is was approved in the United States in 
December 2004 for management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral 
neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia, and in June 2005 for the adjunctive treatment of adult 
patients with partial onset seizures, and for management of fibromyalgia.1.  Lyrica iswas
approved in the European Union countries in July 2004 for the treatment of peripheral 
neuropathic pain, and as adjunctive treatment of partial seizures with or without secondary 
generalization, and in March 2006 for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. 2
Formal visual field testing was conducted in over 2400 patients treated with pregabalin for 
neuropathic pain, chronic pain syndromes, intractable epilepsy, or generalized anxiety 
disorder in randomized controlled clinical trials of up to 3 months in duration and in over 
3600 patients in open-label trials of up to 4 years in duration.  Ophthalmologic assessments 
were included in the program due to concerns expressed at the time on emerging reports of 
visual field disturbances with the anticonvulsant vigabatrin, a gamma-aminobutyric acid 
(GABA)-transaminase inhibitor.13-9  11  The mechanism of the visual field defects with 
vigabatrin is unknown but was considered as possibly related to its GABA mechanism.  As a 
structural derivative of GABA, regulatory agencies considered similarity of pregabalin to 
vigabatrin as possible.  Subsequently, it became clearer that the mechanism of action of 
pregabalin was not related to GABA-transaminase inhibition or to a GABA related 
mechanism.  While the mechanism of action of pregabalin is not completely understood, 
results in animal models indicate that binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated 
calcium channels may be involved in the activity of pregabalin.

the Appendix 1 of this document.  Because visual field results are strongly affected by 
experience, visual field tests will be repeated on two occasions at Screening and at Baseline 
visits. 
All automated perimetry results (in computer disc form) will be read by a central reader 
within three seven days of the examination.  If the central reader assesses the visual field 
exam to be of poor quality, the exam will be repeated within one week.  The repeat test will

7.3. Vital Sign, Body Weight and Physical Examination
Vital signs (sitting heart rate and blood pressure) will be obtained at Screening (Visit 1), 
Baseline (Visit 2), Week 1 (Visit 4), Week 6 (Visit 5), Week 12 (Visit 6) and Early 
Termination (ET).  BP will be measured with the subject’s arm supported at the level of 
the heart, and recorded to the nearest mm Hg.  The same arm (preferably the dominant 
arm) will be used throughout the trial. BP and heart rate will be measured after at 
least 5 minutes in sitting position.  When done manually, heart rate will be measured in 
the brachial/radial artery for at least 30 seconds.  The use of automated devices for 
measuring BP and heart rate are also acceptable.
Body weight will be collected at Screening (Visit 1), Baseline (Visit 2), Week 1 (Visit 4), 
Week 6 (Visit 5), Week 12 (Visit 6), Week 15 (Visit 7) and Early Termination (ET).  Any 
negative changes from the screening examination will be recorded as adverse events.
To reduce measurement variability of body weight, subjects should be weighed on the 
same scale at each visit that body weight is assessed; should not carry extraneous items 
such as purses, blackberries, and cell phones onto the scale; should remove their coats 
and shoes before being weighed, and should empty their pockets of any heavy items.
A physical exam will be performed at Screening (V1) and Week 12 (Visit 6). Items 
included will be:

General appearance – including height (at Screening only);

Skin – Examination for the presence of rash;

HEENT – Examination of extraocular movements, pupillary response, 
determination of nystagmus, and visual field examination by confrontation;

Lungs and Cardiovascular – Auscultation of lung fields, determination of BP, 
cardiac rhythm and rate auscultation for the presence of murmurs, gallops, or 
rubs;

Neurologic – Including mental status, station and gait, cranial nerves, motor and 
sensory function, reflexes, and coordination;

Abdominal – Palpation and auscultation performed.
Additional physical assessment will be made as necessary to evaluate symptoms or 
adverse experiences at the discretion of the investigator.

7.4. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
A 12-lead ECG (singlet) will be performed at Screening (Visit 1).  ECG should be 
performed after the subject has rested quietly for at least 10 minutes in a supine 
position.  ECG tracing will be evaluated by the investigator in a real time for the safety 
monitoring of the subjects.  In some cases, it may be appropriate to repeat abnormal 
ECGs to rule out improper lead placement as contributing to the ECG abnormality.  It 
is important that leads are placed in the same positions each time in order to achieve 
precise ECG recordings.
7.5. Suicidality Assessment 
7.5.1. Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS)
The Sheehan-Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS, see Appendix 3) is an 8-item 
prospective rating scale that tracks treatment-emergent suicidal ideation and 
behaviors.12  This scale was adapted from the Suicidality Module of the Mini 
International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) Structured Diagnostic Interview for 
DSM-IV.  Items 1a, 2-6, 7a, and 8 are scored on a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from 0= 
not at all to 4=extremely).  Items 1, 1b, and 7 require yes or no responses.  This scale 
can be administered either by a clinician or patient through self-report.  In this study, 
the scale will be completed by the patient (self-report). The Baseline-Lifetime 
Assessment will be completed at Screening and the “Since Last Visit” version will be 
completed at Baseline(Visit 2) , Randomization(Visit 3), Week 1 (Visit 4), Week 6
(Visit 5), Week 12 (Visit 6), Week 15 (Visit 7) and ET. 
7.5.2. Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ), Appendix 3.
The PHQ-8 (See Appendix 3) is a self-administered version of the PRIME-MD 
diagnostic instrument for common mental disorders.  The PHQ-9 is the depression 
module, which scores each of the 9 DSM-IV criteria as 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every 
day).15  The PHQ-8, a validated subset of the PHQ-9, which comprises the first 8 items 
of the measure, will be completed by subjects at Screening (Visit 1). 
7.5.3. Suicidality Assessments 
During Screening
A risk assessment should be done by a qualified mental health professional (MHP: a 
psychiatrist or licensed PhD level clinical psychologist) to assess whether it is safe for 
the subject to participate in the trial if at least one of the following three conditions are 
met:

Subject’s responses on the S-STS items 1a, 1b, 3 and 4, 5, 6, or 8 is positive 
(score 1);
or

Pregabalin
A0081096
Protocol Amendment 5, 25 September 2020
PFIZER CONFIDENTIAL
Page 81

Subject’s Total PHQ- 8 score 15;
or

Presence of any current major psychiatric disorder that is not explicitly 
permitted in the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
A written copy of the risk assessment should be included in the subject’s clinical record 
(source documentation).
During the Clinical Trial:
At the Baseline and post-baseline visits, if there are any positive response on the S-STS 
(since last visit version) items 1a, 1b, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8, a risk assessment should be done by 
a qualified MHP to determine whether it is safe for the subject to continue to 
participate in the trial. Subjects who have a positive response on S-STS items 1a, 1b, 3 
and 4, 5, 6, or 8 on more than one occasion during a trial must have their potential 
suicidality managed appropriately by the PI together with a qualified MHP (or the PI 
alone if the PI is a qualified MHP). In addition, the PI should consult with the Pfizer 
medical monitor to determine whether the subject can continue the trial.  
7.6. Patient Assessment of Seizure Frequency 
Global change of seizure frequency will be rated as increased, no change or decreased 
by patient at Visit 6 (Week 12) or Early Termination (ET).

13.1. End of Trial in all Participating Countries
End of Trial in all participating countries is defined as Last Subject Last Visit.
13.2. End of Trial in a Member State of European Union
End of Trial in a Member State of the European Union is defined as the time at which it 
is deemed that sufficient subjects have been recruited and completed the study as stated 
in the regulatory application (ie, Clinical Study Application (CTA)) and ethics 
application in the Member State.  Poor recruitment (recruiting less than the anticipated 
number in the CTA) by a Member State is not a reason for premature termination but 
is considered a normal conclusion to the study in that Member State.

Pfizer has no objection to publication by Investigator of any information collected or 
generated by Investigator, whether or not the results are favorable to the 
Investigational Drug. However, to ensure against inadvertent disclosure of Confidential 
Information or unprotected Inventions, Investigator will provide Pfizer an opportunity 
to review any proposed publication or other type of disclosure before it is submitted or 
otherwise disclosed.
Investigator will provide manuscripts, abstracts, or the full text of any other intended 
disclosure (poster presentation, invited speaker or guest lecturer presentation, etc.) to 
Pfizer at least 30 days before they are submitted for publication or otherwise disclosed.

If any patent action is required to protect intellectual property rights, Investigator 
agrees to delay the disclosure for a period not to exceed an additional 60 days.
Investigator will, on request, remove any previously undisclosed Confidential 
Information (other than the Study results themselves) before disclosure.
If the Study is part of a multi-centre study, Investigator agrees that the first publication 
is to be a joint publication covering all centers. However, if a joint manuscript has not 
been submitted for publication within 12 months of completion or termination of the 
Study at all participating sites, Investigator is free to publish separately, subject to the 
other requirements of this Section.
For all publications relating to the Study, Institution will comply with recognized 
ethical standards concerning publications and authorship, including Section II -
“Ethical Considerations in the Conduct and Reporting of Research” of the Uniform 
Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, 
http://www.icmje.org/index.html#authorship, established by the International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
Publication of study results is also provided for in the Clinical Study Agreement 
between Pfizer and the institution.  In this section entitled Publications by Investigators, 
the defined terms shall have the meanings given to them in the Clinical Study 
Agreement.
