Protocol Summary
1.1
Synopsis
Protocol Title: A randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, multi-center 
study to assess the safety and tolerability of monthly subcutaneous administrations of a low 
and high dose cohort of osocimab to ESRD patients on regular hemodialysis
Short Title: Osocimab in ESRD Phase 2b study
Rationale: It is well known that end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis are at 
high risk for cardiovascular diseases. By targeting FXI, osocimab has the potential to provide 
an efficacious treatment for the prevention of thromboembolic events like myocardial 
infarction (MI), stroke and cardiovascular death with a favorable risk profile for unwanted 
bleeding. This Phase 2b trial will assess the safety and characterize the
pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile of two different dose cohorts of 
osocimab given subcutaneously once a month to participants with ESRD.  
Objectives and Endpoints:
Objectives
Endpoints
Primary

To clinically assess the safety of different 
doses of osocimab administered 
subcutaneously once a month during main
treatment period as compared to placebo

Composite of major and clinically-relevant 
non-major bleeding events (in alignment with
ISTH guidelines), as assessed by blinded 
Central Independent Adjudication Committee 
(CIAC)

Composite of moderate and severe AEs and 
SAEs
Secondary

To assess the change of key PD parameter 
from baseline

Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), 
FXIa activity at trough levels after 6 months
Overall Design
Disclosure Statement: This is a covariate-adaptive randomized, double-blind, parallel group, 
placebo controlled, multi-center study with 2 cohorts of osocimab (low and high dose) tested 
against placebo in ESRD patients on hemodialysis. In this protocol, the term hemodialysis 
includes hemodiafiltration. Sponsor, participants and investigators are being blinded with 
respect to active treatment versus matching placebo, but not blinded to dose cohort (low or 
high dose). 
A Data Monitoring Committee will regularly review the safety data of the participants.
Intervention Model: Parallel 
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Number of Arms: 2 dose cohorts, 3 groups, 4 arms
Blinding: Participants, Investigator, Outcome Assessor
Number of Participants: Approximately 600 randomized
Approximately 600 participants (up to 750) will be randomly assigned to study intervention
such that approximately 555 participants complete the main treatment period. 
For details on sample size determination see Section 9.2.

Version 1.0
Page: 7 of 77
Intervention Groups and Duration:
The following study interventions will be administered in the study:

Osocimab (BAY 1213790): sponsor’s study drug under investigation

Placebo to osocimab
Different doses will be achieved by administering a different volume. 

Low dose cohort
105 mg single loading dose as subcutaneous abdominal injection at visit 5, followed 
by monthly (i.e. 30 days ± 3 days) maintenance doses of 52.5 mg starting at visit 8
until the end of the extension treatment period. Placebo will be administered 
subcutaneously in the same manner as osocimab.

High dose cohort:
210 mg single loading dose as subcutaneous abdominal injection at visit 5, followed 
by monthly (i.e. 30 days ± 3 days) maintenance doses of 105 mg starting at visit 8
until the end of the extension treatment period. Placebo will be administered 
subcutaneously in the same manner as osocimab.
The two dose cohorts (low dose and high dose) follow the same treatment schedule:

Screening period (visit 1): up to 14 days 

Randomization (visit 2): 1 day

Pre-treatment period (from visit 2 until visit 4): 7 days

Main treatment period (from visit 5 until EOMT visit): 6 months

Extension treatment period (from visit 19 until EOET visit): up to 12 months

Follow-up period (from visit 32 until visit 35): 4 months after end of treatment 
(EOMT or EOET)
The mandatory extension treatment period is continued until the last study participant has 
completed its 6 months main treatment period or to a maximum of 18 months (i.e. 6 months 
main treatment period + 12 months extension treatment period). When the last participant has 
completed its 6 months main treatment period including EOMT (end of main treatment 
period) visit, all participants who are in extension treatment period at this time point will not 
receive any further dosing and will participate in an EOET (end of extension treatment 
period) visit at the next regular monthly extension visit and will move to the follow-up period. 
The last participant of the whole study will not take part in the extension treatment period. 
Data Monitoring Committee:
Yes
The study will be overseen by a Steering Committee (SC), a Data Monitoring Committee 
(DMC) and a Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC).

Schedule of Activities (SoA)
Visit procedures must be completed on a single day, except screening period.
Please note that if screening parameters are available as part of routine medical practice, these are not required to be repeated as long as they 
were measured within 14 days of screening and meet the thresholds defined in the in-/exclusion criteria.
It is not allowed to perform dialyses which are linked to study visits outside of the study center. Participants should come to the same dialysis 
center for each visit. Visits in between dialyses, i.e. not linked to a study visit, can be performed outside of the study center. 
PD and biomarker sampling and analyses are mandatory for all participants except China and have to be done according to the SoA.
Please refer to Table 1–1 for the Schedule of Activities of the main treatment period and to Table 1–2 for the Schedule of Activities of the 
extension treatment period and the follow-up period.

Introduction
Osocimab is a novel long-acting anticoagulant targeting the activated form of FXI with the 
potential to exhibit lower risk of bleeding events than currently available anticoagulants. 
2.1
Study Rationale
It is well known that ESRD patients on dialysis are at high risk for cardiovascular diseases. 
By targeting FXI, osocimab has the potential to provide an efficacious treatment for the 
prevention of thromboembolic events like MI, stroke and cardiovascular death with a 
favorable risk profile for unwanted bleeding. This Phase 2b trial will assess the safety and 
characterize the PK/PD profile of two different dose cohorts of osocimab given 
subcutaneously once a month to participants with ESRD.  
2.2
Background
2.2.1
Cardiovascular Disease in ESRD Patients
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in adults around the world. World Health 
Organization (WHO) data show that an estimated 17.7 million people died from 
cardiovascular disease in 2015, which represents 31% of all deaths worldwide. Of these 
deaths, an estimated 6.7 million were due to stroke and 7.4 million were due to coronary heart 
disease (1).
It is well known that patients with ESRD have very high cardiovascular morbidity and 
mortality rates. Cardiovascular disease (e.g., coronary artery disease [CAD] and acute 
coronary syndrome, arrhythmia, chronic heart failure, cerebrovascular events [i.e., stroke]) is 
the leading cause of death in ESRD patients and accounts for 53% of all deaths with a known 
cause in patients on hemodialysis (2). In a large prospective United States–based study, the 5-
year survival rate for hemodialysis patients was only 40%, with 40% of the deaths being 
cardiac (3). The annual cardiovascular mortality in the general population increases with age, 
rising from 0.01% in 30-year-old patients to 0.1% in 80-year-old patients (4). In contrast, 
there is only a modest age-related increase in cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis 
patients, and the annual cardiovascular mortality in a 40-year-old hemodialysis patient is 
comparable with the mortality observed in an 80-year-old individual in the general 
population.
CAD incidence among patients initiating hemodialysis is up to 38%, with a relative risk that 
is 5 to 20fold higher than that in the general population. The uremic environment due to 
the underlying renal disease may accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis and may 
influence the prevalence of CAD (5). Similarly, ESRD itself is seen as a risk factor for 
peripheral artery disease (PAD) as an additional expression of the underlying 
atherothrombosis/atherosclerosis, which often leads to complications such as non-healing 
ulcers and lower limb amputation (6- 7).
High levels of Creactive protein and pro-inflammatory cytokines have been reported in 
patients with ESRD, as well as endothelial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress, which 
are exacerbated in the setting of ESRD. Atherosclerosis and subsequent atherothrombosis are 
the drivers of CAD and PAD. These are inflammatory processes and the pro-inflammatory 
environment in patients with ESRD predisposes them to accelerated plaque formation and 
rupture, which contributes to thromboembolic events such as acute coronary syndrome/MI,
stroke and cardiovascular death.

2.2.2
Cardiovascular Treatment Options for ESRD Patients
Treating patients with ESRD is challenging owing to competing mortality risks. Patients with 
chronic kidney disease (CKD) and ESRD are at an increased risk for both thromboembolic 
events and bleeding (8) and treatment options need to be carefully evaluated against their 
benefits and risks. Furthermore, the relative benefit-risk profile of anticoagulation in ESRD 
patients is different from that in patients with normal kidney function. In the non-ESRD 
population, current anticoagulation therapies have been shown to be efficacious for 
prevention of thromboembolic events (9-11). However, their use is associated with a variable 
bleeding risk and ESRD patients have a much higher risk for severe bleeding events than the 
non-ESRD population (12). 
Although there are numerous high-quality randomized clinical trials (RCTs) supporting 
therapeutic cardiovascular interventions in the general population (13), the vast majority of 
these studies specifically excluded patients with severe renal impairment. In contrast, very 
few RCTs have evaluated cardiovascular therapies in hemodialysis. Because of the paucity of 
RCTs in hemodialysis patients, most cardiovascular therapies in this population are based on 
observational studies or results extrapolated from studies that excluded hemodialysis patients. 
Hence, due to the much higher bleeding risk of ESRD patients and the unproven benefits of 
anticoagulation therapy in these patients, most hemodialysis patients are not treated with 
respect to the prevention of thromboembolic events. 
2.2.3
Factor XI
Factor XI (FXI) is a new target for anticoagulants that have the potential to be associated with 
a lower risk of bleeding events than currently available anticoagulants. The identification of 
FXI as a safer target is supported by epidemiological data, studies in FXI deficient mice, 
studies with FXI knockdown or inhibition, and animal bleeding models (14).
The formation and the stability of clots are enhanced by FXI in in-vitro experiments (15- 16). 
Furthermore, FXI amplifies thrombin generation when coagulation is initiated by low levels 
of tissue factor (TF) or thrombin. FXI-dependent amplification of thrombin generation also 
leads to activation of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, which renders clots resistant 
to fibrinolysis. Therefore, FXI inhibitors might also indirectly enhance clot dissolution.
The most solid evidence in support of FXI as a potential therapeutic target came from 
epidemiological data. Observational studies in patients with congenital factor XI deficiency 
suggested that these patients are at reduced risk of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and 
venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with those with normal factor XI levels (14-19). 
Furthermore, a second-generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that specifically reduces 
FXI levels (ISIS 416858) yielded promising results when compared with enoxaparin for 
thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) (20). 
2.2.4
Osocimab (BAY 1213790)
Osocimab is a fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody that binds 
specifically to activated factor XIa (FXIa) (21) and exhibits a terminal half-life in plasma
ranging from approximately 30 to 44 days after intravenous administration.
2.2.4.1
Preclinical Data
Preclinical pharmacology experiments indicated a profound antithrombotic effect, both in 
arterial and in venous thrombosis models, in the absence of significantly prolonged bleeding 
times or increased blood loss. In line with the mechanism of action, the activated partial

Version 1.0
Page:  19 of 77
thromboplastin time (aPTT) increased in a dose-dependent manner and in parallel with the 
antithrombotic effect. Osocimab had no effect on the prothrombin time (PT), confirming that 
the effects of Osocimab were limited to the intrinsic pathway of coagulation.
As with any protein product, Osocimab may induce immune responses affecting safety and 
product efficacy. However, the compound is a fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody that 
has been optimized for affinity and low immunogenicity. The immunogenic potential of 
Osocimab was tested in silico and showed a favorable overall score, similar to other marketed 
monoclonal antibodies. Furthermore, toxicological studies have not identified relevant 
hypersensitivity effects in Cynomolgus monkeys after intravenous (iv) or subcutaneous (sc)
injections. Nevertheless, injection and hypersensitivity reactions may occur and the possibility 
of hitherto unforeseen side effects and allergic reactions to interventions, which can result in 
severe damage and even death, must always be considered.
2.2.4.2
Human Experience
So far osocimab has been tested in 4 Phase 1 studies (Studies #17188, 17956, 17780, 19513)
with either iv or sc administration in healthy volunteers (175 participants received osocimab 
up to 10 mg/kg iv), as well as in a study in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty for the 
prevention of VTE (#17664 FOXTROT study, 587 participants received osocimab up to 1.8 
mg/kg).
In the single dose Phase 1 studies #17188 (study report available) and #17780 and #17956 
(clinically completed, reporting ongoing), osocimab administrations were safe and well 
tolerated. No drug related serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported. Further details can be 
found in Section 5.2.3 of the Investigator’s Brochure (IB).
There were no clinically relevant bleeding events, no relevant bleeding time prolongations 
and no signs or symptoms for hidden bleedings in the single dose Phase 1 studies.
In the multiple dose study #19513, which investigated two dose steps, two bleeding events of 
a moderate severity were reported in the dose step 1 (loading dose 100 mg sc; maintenance 
dose 35 mg sc) of the study: bleeding hemorrhoids and rupture of tympanic membrane of the 
right ear. These hematomas were also assessed as not related to the study intervention. In dose 
step 2 (loading dose 210 mg sc; maintenance dose 105 mg sc), an intra-cranial hemorrhage 
was observed. The sponsor together with external experts performed a thorough evaluation of 
the case including follow-up Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In conclusion, and 
although the contribution of osocimab cannot be excluded, the overall benefit risk assessment
for osocimab has not changed according to the data generated so far, specifically as from the 
image interpretation there is a greater than 50% likelihood for an underlying arteriovenous 
(AV)-malformation/cavernoma as the underlying cause for the bleeding event. 
In summary, bleeding events in the single dose studies and in the multiple dose study in 
healthy volunteers did not indicate any increased risk of bleeding. 
In a Phase 2a study (#17664, FOXTROT), osocimab was administered in patients undergoing 
elective TKA. This was a randomized, active comparator controlled, multicenter study to 
assess the safety and efficacy of different doses of osocimab for the prevention of VTE in 
comparison to enoxaparin and apixaban (22).  
In the FOXTROT study, 2 different administration schemes of osocimab were assessed: post-
surgery administration (part A) and pre-surgery administration (part B).  A total of 813
patients were randomized in the overall study.

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  20 of 77
Part A investigated osocimab at single iv doses of 0.3, 0.6, 1.2, and 1.8 mg/kg. Part B 
investigated osocimab at single iv doses of 0.3 and 1.8 mg/kg.
Overall, FOXTROT showed that FXIa inhibition is effective for the prevention of VTE in 
patients undergoing TKA whether administered post- or pre-operatively. Osocimab
demonstrated good hemorrhagic as well as non-hemorrhagic safety and good tolerability (22). 
Further details can be found in the latest available version of the Investigator's Brochure, 
which contains comprehensive information on the test drug.
Furthermore, a small Phase 1, observer-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study is 
ongoing in patients with ESRD to assess the safety and tolerability and to characterize the PK 
and the PD of different doses of osocimab (sc and iv) in this patient population (Study 
#20046). So far 13 patients with ESRD received a single iv dose of osocimab (0.3 mg/kg or 
1.2 mg/kg). No clinically significant bleeding events (i.e. major or clinically relevant non-
major bleeding) occurred after study drug administration nor were any treatment-emergent 
SAEs reported, so far.
2.2.4.3
Rationale for the Development of Osocimab in ESRD Patients
The aim for the development of osocimab in patients with ESRD is to prevent 
thromboembolic events without increasing the risk for bleeding events, as it is known from 
currently available anticoagulation therapies, which could provide a favorable benefit risk 
profile in patients with ESRD on hemodialysis. Due to the characteristics of osocimab as a 
monoclonal antibody targeting FXIa additional benefits suit very well to the ESRD patient 
population:

Low dosing frequency of once a month subcutaneous injection, which does not add to 
the already high pill-burden in this patient population.

Low risk for drug-drug interaction via Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes in the liver. 
Generally, monoclonal antibodies are metabolized to peptides and amino acids in 
several tissues, by circulating phagocytic cells or by their target antigen-containing 
cells (23). In contrast to many other drugs that are taken by ESRD patients, osocimab 
will not interfere with other drugs that are metabolized in the CYP system of the liver 
as it is metabolized via other pathways. 

No influence of plasma concentrations is expected with impaired kidney function as 
the drug is not excreted via this pathway. Furthermore, due to the large size of 
osocimab it not expected to be dialyzable.
2.3
Benefit/Risk Assessment
Due to the higher bleeding risk of ESRD patients and the unproven benefits of currently 
available anticoagulation therapy in these patients, most hemodialysis patients are not treated
for the prevention of thromboembolic events. 
Targeting factor XI may attenuate thrombosis without increasing the risk for bleeding. The 
separation of bleeding and efficacy might be explained by the fact that inhibition of FXIa 
affects the intrinsic and propagation pathways, but keeps the extrinsic pathway unaffected, 
which is activated in case of vessel injury.
Based on the results of relevant animal models, known cases of human FXI deficiency, 
clinical experience with compounds with a similar mode of action (second-generation 
antisense oligonucleotide), initial clinical testing in healthy volunteers, and most importantly

Version 1.0
Page:  21 of 77
patients undergoing TKA and receiving osocimab post- and pre-surgery, osocimab is a 
promising new drug candidate with the potential to prevent thromboembolic events with a 
low risk for bleeding. Potential risks such as bleeding, thrombocytopenia, hypersensitivity/ 
injection-related reactions will be closely monitored during this trial. Strict inclusion and 
exclusion criteria are applied to exclude ESRD patients who are at higher risk for bleeding 
events. Due to the long half-life of the compound in plasma, participants will be kept under 
observation for approximately 5 months after the last administration of osocimab. 
A DMC will frequently review safety data to ensure the safety of the participants in the 
ongoing study. Further details can be found in the DMC charter.
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably 
expected adverse events of osocimab may be found in the Investigator’s Brochure.

Currently available preclinical and clinical data regarding the important potential risks 
including the assessment of the safety from the clinical studies do not indicate an unfavorable 
risk profile for osocimab.
2.3.2
Benefit Assessment
The potential benefit of receiving study intervention during study duration may already be a 
reduced risk for thromboembolic events in participants with ESRD, although this has not yet 
been proven clinically. Furthermore, this study will contribute to develop new therapies in an 
area of high medical need, specifically as patients with ESRD are often excluded from clinical 
trials due to their specific risk profile.
2.3.3
Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion
Taking into account the potential benefits of this new compound, the potential risks identified 
in association with osocimab are justified by the anticipated benefits that may be afforded to 
participants with ESRD. Currently available preclinical and clinical data do not indicate an 
unfavorable risk profile for osocimab.

Study Design
4.1
Overall Design
Study 20115 is a covariate-adaptive randomization, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-
controlled, multi-center study to assess the safety and tolerability of monthly administrations 
of a low and high dose cohort of osocimab given subcutaneously in ESRD patients on 
hemodialysis. In this protocol, the term hemodialysis includes hemodiafiltration. The overall 
study design is depicted in Figure 1–1.
Approximately 600 participants (up to 750) from approximately 150 sites are planned to be 
randomized and will receive either osocimab (200 participants on each dose arm), or placebo 
(200 participants, i.e. 100 participants receiving low dose volume placebo and 100 
participants receiving high dose volume placebo).
The following regions are planned to be included: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific.
The planned study will consist of:

Screening period (visit 1): up to 14 days

Randomization (visit 2): 1 day

Pre-treatment period (from visit 2 until visit 4): 7 days

Main treatment period (from visit 5 until EOMT visit): 6 months

Extension treatment period (from visit 19 until EOET visit): up to 12 months

Follow-up period (from visit 32 until visit 35): 4 months after end of treatment 
(EOMT or EOET)

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol

Version 1.0
Page:  25 of 77
Informed consent form will be obtained at the beginning of the screening period. During the 
screening period, participant’s eligibility evaluations will be performed. Participants will be 
randomized either to osocimab or to placebo using a covariate-adaptive randomization 
technique (minimization methods) (for details see Section 6.3).
During the pre-treatment period, which will serve as a baseline period, a series of 3 
hemodialysis sessions will be performed. Unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin 
(UFH/LMWH) is allowed as anticoagulation for maintenance of hemodialysis treatment
during the whole study duration.
The study intervention will be administered subcutaneously abdominal with one single 
loading dose at visit 5 and monthly maintenance doses from visit 8 onwards until the end of 
the extension treatment period with an overall maximum of 18 months of treatment. The main 
treatment period consists of 6 months of treatment as this time frame is deemed to be the 
minimum clinically relevant treatment time to assess osocimab as chronic life-time treatment 
in an appropriate manner and in preparation for Phase 3. 
Study intervention will be administered during the extension treatment period for up to a 
maximum of 12 months or until the last participant randomized to the study has performed the 
EOMT visit (whichever comes first).
The treatment period (main or extension) will end with the study assessments performed 30 
days after the last study intervention administration.
The follow-up period is an observational period of 4 months, i.e. ends approximately 5 
months after the administration of the last dose of osocimab.
All suspected bleeding and cardiovascular (CV) or thromboembolic (TE) events occurring 
after signing informed consent (randomized participants only) will be adjudicated by the
CIAC in a blinded fashion; blinded to treatment allocation and dose cohort (details are 
described in the CIAC charter).
The procedures followed by the CIAC are detailed in the CIAC charter. Detailed instructions 
regarding documentation, reporting and transferal of adjudication dossiers will be provided in 
a study specific guidance document.
A DMC will frequently review safety data to ensure the safety of the participants in the 
ongoing study. Further details can be found in the DMC charter.
Details of study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA (see Section 1.3).
4.2
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
This is the first multiple dose study of osocimab in ESRD patients with the aim to investigate 
the safety, tolerability and PK/PD after chronic monthly treatment with subcutaneous 
administrations in comparison to placebo. No established treatment exists for the prevention 
of thromboembolic events in patients with ESRD.
The selection criteria were chosen to exclude patients from the study, who may potentially be 
exposed to specific risks after administration of osocimab, as well as all patients with
conditions that may have an impact on the objectives of the study.
A main treatment period of 6 months until the primary endpoint assessment is deemed to be 
appropriate to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of osocimab for an envisaged chronic 
treatment regimen. However, participants will receive osocimab for a maximum of 18 months 

CONFIDENTIAL

which will generate additional long-term safety data and allow participants to potentially 
benefit from long-term treatment.
The study procedures were planned to be as close as possible aligned with the usual dialysis 
procedures in order to limit the extra burden for participants.
The envisaged indication for osocimab is prevention of thromboembolic events in male and 
female patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis.
4.3
Justification for Dose
The medium doses (0.6 and 1.2 mg/kg iv single dose administration) tested in the FOXTROT 
study were identified as the most promising doses to be tested in further studies, as they 
showed efficacy numerically comparable to that with enoxaparin and apixaban and were not 
associated with any primary safety event, i.e. clinical significant bleeding event (22) (further 
details on FOXTROT can be found in the current version of the IB). The doses tested in 
FOXTROT were substantially lower than the doses that were administered during the first
Phase 1 study (up to 10 mg/kg iv). It is currently assumed that the dose levels which were 
efficacious and safe in the FOXTROT trial will be safe and efficacious for the prevention of 
thromboembolic events in ESRD patients as well. The selected single iv doses from 
FOXTROT were translated into comparable sc doses independent from body weight (i.e.
fixed dosing) taking into account the bioavailability of sc administration. It was the aim to 
achieve with monthly fixed sc doses similar trough levels (plasma concentration 
approximately one month after dosing) as in FOXTROT at the primary endpoint assessment 
(approx. 10-14 days after dosing). Therefore, osocimab doses needed to be adapted to achieve 
the FOXTROT exposure level after that longer period of one month. Furthermore, therapeutic
drug level should be reached as soon as possible after initiation of treatment to allow for an 
immediate treatment effect. Therefore, a loading dose concept was developed and tested in a
multiple dose Phase 1 study (#19513). This loading dose concept provides with a single 
(higher) loading dose (compared to the maintenance doses) a rapid achievement of a 
therapeutic drug concentration and ensures steady state exposure already from study drug 
initiation.
As already tested in multiple dose study #19513, in this study the sc dose administration will 
be independent from the body weight (BW) (fixed dose concept). This is supported by 
preliminary population PK analyses of Phase 1 data indicating that BW-adjusted dosing and 
flat dosing provide similar exposure distributions, with no clear advantage to both dosing 
approaches with respect to reducing variability in pharmacokinetics.
When the fixed doses of the high dose cohort of 210 mg (LD) and 105 mg (MD) and are 
back-converted to BW-adjusted dosing, the corresponding sc doses for a participant of 80 kg 
will be 2.625 mg/kg and 1.3125 mg/kg BW, respectively. This is below 6 mg/kg BW sc, a
dose already shown to be safe in a Phase 1 study (#17780).
In an alternative scenario of administering fixed doses to a light weight participant of 50 kg, 
the calculated BW-adjusted sc doses would be 4.2 mg/kg BW for a flat dose of 210 mg and
2.1 mg/kg BW for 105 mg. For both, the low and high dose cohort, and both BWs the loading
and maintenance doses are below 6 mg/kg BW sc that were tested in the Phase 1 study 
(#17780). Additionally, the sc doses of the high dose cohort of 105 mg (MD) and 210 mg 
(LD) have already been tested in multiple dose study #19513 (administration on study days 1, 
29, 57 and 85). Importantly, all doses intended for the current study are considerably lower

than the highest tested iv dose of 10 mg/kg BW, which was has been shown to be safe and 
well tolerated in healthy volunteers (#17188).

Lifestyle Considerations
No restrictions during any of the study periods pertaining to lifestyle and/or diet apply.
5.4
Screen Failures
Screen failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in the clinical study but 
are not subsequently randomized. A minimal set of screen failure information is required to 
ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to meet the Consolidated Standards 
of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements and to respond to queries from 
regulatory authorities. Minimal information includes demography, screen failure details, and 
eligibility criteria.
Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) may be 
rescreened once. Rescreened participants should be assigned a new participant identification 
code (PID) and sign a new informed consent form.
Re-screening is allowed only if any of the following applies: 

The participant had successfully passed the screening procedures, but could not start 
subsequent treatment on schedule. 

The in- / exclusion criteria preventing the participant’s initial attempt to participate 
have been changed (via protocol amendment). 

The participant suffered from a temporary and not clinical relevant disease, e.g., a 
common cold.
In any case, the investigator has to ensure that the repeated screening procedures do not 
expose the participant to an unjustifiable health risk. Also, for re-screening, the participant has 
to re-sign the informed consent form, even if it was not changed after the participant’s 
previous screening.
Suspected events of screen failures will not be submitted to the CIAC.

Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability
1. The investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have 
been maintained during transit for all study intervention received and any 
discrepancies are reported and resolved before use of the study intervention.
2. Only participants enrolled in the study may receive study intervention and only 
authorized site staff may supply or administer study intervention. All study 
intervention must be stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored 
(manual or automated) area in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with 
access limited to the investigator and authorized site staff.
3. The investigator or the head of the institution (where applicable) is responsible for 
study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance (i.e., receipt, 
reconciliation, and final disposition records).
4. Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study 
interventions are provided in the Investigator Site File. 
Osocimab is supplied in 6 mL clear, single-use injection glass vials as a solution. Osocimab is 
a solution with a concentration of 150 mg/mL at pH 5.0. The total content of the glass vial is 
2.3 mL, corresponding to 345 mg of osocimab. From the total 2.3 mL, 2.0 mL (i.e. 300 mg) 
are the extractable volume and 0.3 mL (i.e. 45 mg) are overfill. Placebo to osocimab is 
supplied in 6 mL clear, single-use glass vials as a solution. Further details can be found in the 
handling instruction provided separately.
6.3
Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding
After a participant has signed an informed consent form,  the unique participant identification 
number (PID) will be assigned via Interactive Web Response System (IWRS). If a participant 
is re-screened, a new PID will be assigned. The PID is a 9-digit number consisting of: 
Digits 1 to 5 = Unique site number 
Digits 6 to 9 = Unique participant number (current participant number within the study site)
The unique participant number will start with 5 for each participant.
All participants will be centrally assigned to randomized study intervention using an IWRS. 
Study intervention will be administered at the study visits summarized in SoA (Section 1.3). 
Before the study is initiated, the log in information and directions for IWRS will be provided 
to each site.
Covariate-adaptive randomization techniques (minimization methods) will be utilized taking 
into account the following baseline covariates (weights of the baseline covariates for the 
calculation of imbalance in brackets):

Region (categorical) (17.0%)

Age (17.0%)

Prior major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) (17.0%)

Dialysis access via catheter (17.0%)

Low-dose ASA use (Yes/No) (17.0%)

Diabetes (Yes/No) (7.5%)

Version 1.0
Page:  32 of 77

Atrial fibrillation (Yes/No) (7.5%)
Sponsor, participants and investigators are being blinded with respect to active treatment 
versus placebo, but not blinded to dose cohort (low or high dose). The CIAC will be blinded 
to the participant’s treatment allocation and dose cohort. The DMC will review blinded data 
and will have access to unblinded data as outlined in the DMC charter.
In order to maintain the blind, osocimab and matching placebo will be packaged in identical 
vials and each vial will be labeled with a unique, pre-printed number.
The IWRS will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an emergency, the 
investigator has the responsibility for determining if unblinding of a participant’s intervention 
assignment is warranted. If the investigator is unavailable, and a treating physician not 
associated with the study requests emergency unblinding, the emergency unblinding requests 
are forwarded to the emergency medical advice 24 hours/7 day service. Participant safety 
must always be the first consideration in making such a determination. If the investigator 
decides that unblinding is warranted, the investigator should make every effort to contact the 
sponsor prior to unblinding a participant’s intervention assignment unless this could delay 
emergency treatment of the participant. If a participant’s intervention assignment is 
unblinded, the sponsor must be notified within 24 hours after breaking the blind. The date and 
reason that the blind was broken must be recorded in the source documentation and case 
report form, as applicable.
Bioanalytics and pharmacometrics staff will be unblinded according to Bayer SOPs. 
Bioanalysis and population PK (popPK) evaluation might be started prior to database lock: if 
this is applicable, appropriate measures will be taken to maintain blinding of the study team, 
e.g., data will be stored separately, and members of the study team will not have access to 
unblinded data.
6.4
Study Intervention Compliance
When participants are dosed at the site, they will receive study intervention directly from the 
investigator or designee. The date and time of each dose administered in the clinic will be 
recorded in the source documents and recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The 
vial number(s) and study participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing. To 
monitor compliance, drug accountability information will be documented for each participant.
6.5
Concomitant Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, 
and/or herbal supplements) that the participant is receiving between signing of the ICF and 
the end of the study must be recorded along with:

Reason for use

Dates of administration including start and end dates

Dosage information including dose and frequency
Specifically, medications influencing coagulation or platelet aggregation even if taken before 
the informed consent was signed should also be recorded in the eCRF (up to 6 months prior to 
randomization).
Prior and concomitant medications that should be stopped at least 10 days prior to start of 
study intervention, i.e. 3 days prior to randomization and not allowed during the study are:

1. Antiplatelets (e.g., clopidogrel, ticagrelor, dipyridamole, acetylsalicylic acid 
>150 mg/day) 
2. Vitamin K antagonists (e.g., phenprocoumon, warfarin-sodium) 
3. Unfractionated heparins and LMWH other than for dialysis maintenance
4. Direct oral anticoagulants (e.g., rivaroxaban, apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban).
Participants who cannot stop the respective treatment have to be excluded from the 
study.
5. Thrombolytic drugs for systemic use (e.g., streptokinase, alteplase, tenecteplase, etc.)
For participants, who are receiving ASA ≤ 150 mg/day, any dose adaptation should be 
avoided if possible. Especially, during the main treatment period any adaptation of the current
ASA dose or any initiation of ASA should be avoided and should only be done if medically 
necessary.
Surgery, which is deemed necessary should be performed under general anesthesia only. 
Spinal or epidural anesthesia is not allowed during the study. 
The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or 
prior therapy.

Dose Modification
This protocol does not allow any pre-planned alteration from the currently outlined dosing 
schedule (Section 6.1).

Discontinuation of Study Intervention and Participant 
Discontinuation/Withdrawal
7.1
Discontinuation of Study Intervention 
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue (definitive 
discontinuation) study intervention. If study intervention is definitively discontinued, the 
participant will remain in the study to be evaluated until the end of the follow-up period. See 
the SoA for data to be collected at the time of discontinuation of study intervention and 
follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be completed.
A participant must permanently discontinue study intervention for any of the following: 

The participant becomes pregnant. The pregnancy will be reported per reporting 
procedures in Section 8.3.5.

The participant is unwilling to continue study intervention.

The participant experiences an AE (including clinically significant bleeding 
[Sections 8.2.2 and 8.3]) or requires surgery (Section 8.2.2.2) that in the judgment of 
the investigator necessitates permanent discontinuation of study intervention.

The participant develops laboratory test abnormalities that meet the stopping rule 
outlined in Section 8.3.8.1.

The participant moves their dialysis care to a different hemodialysis facility where the 
study team cannot regularly follow the participant. All efforts should be made to 
conduct the post-treatment follow-up visits in person to complete all study procedures. 
If in-person visits by the participant are impossible, limited remote contact visits (e.g.,
phone) may be conducted recording as much information as possible for eCRF entry.

At the discretion of the investigator due to participant non-compliance, or major 
protocol deviation(s) 

The sponsor has the right to withdraw a participant from the study due to non-
compliance, major protocol deviations or for safety reasons
A participant may permanently discontinue study intervention for any of the following at the 
discretion of the investigator: 

The participant begins treatment with a disallowed concomitant medication as 
described in Section 6.5. 

The participant is no longer on regular maintenance hemodialysis of at least 3-times 
per week for a minimum of 9 hours per week, including a change in dialysis modality.
If a participant permanently discontinues study intervention and is unwilling or unable to 
attend regular study visits at the study site, all possible efforts should be made to obtain 
information on the health status of the participant.
A participant may be withdrawn from study intervention at the discretion of the investigator 
for safety, behavioral, compliance, or administrative reasons. 
The reason for discontinuation of study intervention must be recorded in the eCRF and source 
documentation.

7.1.1
Temporary Discontinuation 
This protocol does not allow any pre-planned alteration from the currently outlined dosing 
schedule. However, there may be rare circumstances due to which the investigator may need 
to temporarily discontinue study intervention for an adverse event (Section 8.3), bleeding 
event (Section 8.2.2), or surgery (Section 8.2.2.2) and any other reason not listed as reasons 
for discontinuation of study intervention (Section 7.1) or withdrawal from the study 
(Section 7.2). 
The following guidance should be observed in case maintenance dosing cannot be 
administered according to dosing schedule.
Delayed maintenance dosing:
A dose is delayed if it is given up to 4-7 days from the original schedule. The dose should be 
administered at the next possible time point, but not later than 7 days than originally 
scheduled.
Missed maintenance dosing:
Any dose which is delayed for more than 7 days will be considered as missed dose. The dose
should be administered at the next possible time point, but not later than 60 (+3) days after the 
last given dose. There should be also minimum 30 days ± 3 days between the doses. If the 
dose is delayed more than 60 (+3) days after the last given dose, the participant will need to
move into the follow-up period. Only one maintenance dose can be missed (i.e. given > 7 
days after the originally scheduled dosing and not later than 60 (+3) days after the last 
actually administered dose) per main treatment or per extension treatment period. Between 
missed doses at least 5 regular maintenance doses should have been administered according to 
protocol, otherwise the participant will also need to move into the follow-up period. Obtain 
blood samples for PK/PD analysis 30 (±3) days after the date of the delayed dose, if not 
already scheduled according to the study protocol. 
7.2
Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study

A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request, or may 
be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, 
compliance, or administrative reasons. This is expected to be uncommon. 

At the time of discontinuing from the study, if possible, an early discontinuation visit 
should be conducted, as shown in the SoA. See SoA (Section 1.3) for data to be 
collected at the time of study discontinuation and follow-up and for any further 
evaluations that need to be completed.

The participant will be permanently discontinued both from the study intervention and 
from the study at that time.

If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor 
may retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent.
If a participant permanently discontinues/withdraws from the study and is unwilling or unable 
to attend regular study visits at the study site, all possible efforts should be made to obtain 
information on the health status of the participant.

Lost to Follow Up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit:

The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon 
as possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned 
visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or should 
continue in the study.

Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must 
make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone 
calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address 
or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the 
participant’s medical record.

Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study.
Data that have been collected until the time the participant is considered to be lost to follow
up may be retained and continued to be used.
8.
Study Assessments and Procedures

Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA. Protocol waivers or 
exemptions are not allowed.

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or discontinue 
study intervention.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct.

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log 
to record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable. 

Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (e.g.,
platelet count) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilized for screening or 
baseline purposes provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were 
performed within the time frame defined in the SoA.

If deemed necessary for an individual participant, the investigator or designee, at 
his/her discretion, may arrange visits in addition to the scheduled study visits. 
Relevant unscheduled visits will be documented in the eCRF.

Efficacy Assessments 
The efficacy will be assessed by analyzing exploratively the incidence of the following 
components

Death due to MI, stroke, pulmonary embolism (PE) and systemic embolism (SE)

Non-fatal stroke

Non-fatal MI

Major amputation of vascular etiology

Acute limb ischemia

Symptomatic VTE 

Thrombosis of AV fistulas or grafts
Furthermore, the effect of osocimab on the clotting in the dialysis circuit will be assessed by 
the SQCS. At the end of the hemodialysis procedure, the filter and line (including drip 
chamber/air trap) will be examined by the hemodialysis nurse (or respective appropriate 
personnel) after rinsing the circuit. If possible the same rinsing volume should be used within 
one participant throughout the course of the study. Clotting scores will be assigned as follows:

“0” clean filter and no visible clots in the drip chamber/air trap

“1” traces of coagulation in the filter and/or in the drip chamber/air trap

“2” intermediate state between “1” and “3”

“3” fully clotted extracorporeal system resulting in an interruption of the 
hemodialysis session
Adequate anticoagulation is defined by a SQCS of less or equal “1”.
Additional details for assessment of SQCS can be found in a study specific guidance 
document .
8.2
Safety Assessments 
During all contacts with the participant from signing the informed consent form, investigators 
will check for and record the following in the eCRF:

Bleeding events

Adverse events, including adverse events of special interest

Concomitant medication changes

Changes in dialysis prescription
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA in Section 1.3.. 
Abnormal safety findings which have started after signing of informed consent should be 
reported as an AE/SAE. Clinically significant abnormal findings will be reported as AEs in 
the eCRF.
AEs requiring submission to the CIAC are listed in Section 8.3.9.

8.2.1
Main Safety Assessment
Incidence, severity and seriousness of AE, and SAE, including bleeding events, as well as the 
causal relationship between an AE/SAE and the administration of the study intervention will 
be assessed throughout the study.
In order to evaluate the safety and tolerability of osocimab, AEs will be assessed as the main 
safety endpoint. See Section 8.3 for further information.
8.2.2
Bleeding Events
Major bleeding (MB) and clinically-relevant non-major bleeding (CRNMB) events, as 
assessed by CIAC, will be the primary safety endpoint in this study. 
Randomized participants will be evaluated for occurrence of bleeding events continuously 
after signing informed consent up to the end of the post-treatment follow-up for all cohorts. 
All bleeding events (other than the normal bleeding from AV graft or fistula post-dialysis) 
will be reported as AE or SAE per Section 8.3 and submitted to the CIAC.
However, bleeding after dialysis from AV graft or fistulas is expected and will only be 
reported as an AE/SAE and submitted to CIAC if there is a change in the pattern, duration or 
intensity of bleeding in a participant, or if exceptional measures are taken for hemostasis 
beyond normal, relative to post-dialysis bleeding that was observed in that participant over
(approximately) the prior 4 weeks.  
Bleeding after dialysis from the AV fistula have also to be assessed by the AV bleeding score 
(Section 8.2.2.1).
The CIAC will classify bleeding events primarily in alignment with the ISTH definitions (24):
Definitions in alignment with ISTH (Please refer to the adjudication charter for details):
Major bleeding (MB) is defined as symptomatic bleeding with one of the following:

Bleeding that contributed to death

Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, 
intraocular, retroperitoneal, intraarticular or pericardial, or intramuscular with 
compartment syndrome

Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 2 g/dL(1.24 mmol/L) or more, or 
leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells
Clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding is any sign or symptom of hemorrhage (e.g.,
more bleeding than would be expected for a clinical circumstance, including bleeding found 
by imaging alone) that does not fit the criteria for the ISTH definition of major bleeding but 
does meet at least one of the following criteria:

Requiring medical intervention by a healthcare professional

Leading to hospitalization or increased level of care

Prompting a face to face evaluation (i.e. not a telephone or electronic communication)

8.2.2.1
Assessment of AV Access Bleeding
Severity of bleeding at the dialysis access will be assessed approx. 15 minutes after removal 
of the dialysis needle(s) from the AV access according to the following categories 
(exploratory bleeding score):

“0” no access bleeding

“1” slow oozing

“2” overt bleeding
In case the AV access exhibits overt bleeding 15 minutes after removal of the dialysis
needle(s) (AV access bleeding score of 2), the investigator may consider the reduction of
heparin (i.e. UFH, LMWH) for the subsequent dialysis sessions during the treatment and
follow-up period. For such decision, the investigator should take all available participant
information into account (e.g., laboratory values, concomitant medication, details of
hemodialysis session, adverse events etc.).
In case catheter is used, the AV access bleeding is not applicable.
8.2.2.2
Recommendations for Bleeding and Surgery Management 
Bleeding
In general, the management of bleeding is at the discretion of the treating physician and local 
prescribing information should be consulted for usage in ESRD for any drug administered. 
Evidenced-based treatment recommendations for uremic bleeding in patients with ESRD are 
summarized in Hedges et al, 2007 (25).
In case a participant experiences a severe bleeding event (e.g., bleeding that leads to surgical 
procedures or transfusion of blood components or to prolonged hospitalization or bleeding  
into a critical organ or in close space) and further treatment of the participant is harmful in the 
view of the investigator, treatment should be discontinued and participants should be treated 
as medically indicated. So far no data for management of bleeding and surgery under 
osocimab have been gathered.
The following measures may be considered by the investigators to control bleeding and are at 
the discretion of the treating physician:

Mechanical compression or surgical intervention

Delay of the next injection or discontinuation of treatment

Review and discontinue concomitant medications that could exacerbate bleeding

General volume management: fluid replacement & hemodynamic support.

Transfusion (e.g., whole blood/packed cells/fresh frozen plasma [FFP]/platelets) with 
careful volume management

Antifibrinolytics (e.g., aminocaproic acid or tranexamic acid, consult local prescribing 
information for guidance on usage in patients with severe renal impairment/ESRD)

Desmopressin

Conjugated estrogens

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  40 of 77
If bleeding cannot be controlled by these measures, administration of the following may be 
considered, if used as part of local practice (consult local prescribing information for guidance 
on usage in patients with severe renal impairment/ESRD) and are under discretion of the 
treating physician:

Recombinant Factor VIIa (NovoSeven)

FEIBA

4-factor concentrate (prothrombin complex concentrate)
In vitro data with osocimib showed that the prolongation of aPTT and ROTEM CT induced 
by osocimab can be fully reversed by recombinant FVIIa (NovoSeven) or factor eight 
inhibitor bypass activity (FEIBA). In in vitro experiments PCC (prothrombin complex 
concentrate) was not able to normalize aPTT and ROTEM CT. However, this may be due to 
the inability to show effects on the coagulation tests by these measures (further details may be 
found in the current version of the IB).
As coagulation parameters are potentially unblinding these should only be reviewed if 
medically indicated. 
Surgery
Major surgery (e.g., surgical procedure involving an organ within the cranium, chest, 
abdomen, or pelvic cavity) or major procedures in tissue with high fibrinolytic activity (e.g.,
gynecologic, urologic, or surgeries of the nasal and oral cavities) or surgeries with high risk 
for perioperative bleeding, should not be performed during the trial. However, if deemed 
medically necessary and surgery cannot be postponed until the end of the follow-up period, 
the surgery is only allowed to be performed under general anesthesia. Spinal or epidural 
anesthesia/analgesia is not allowed during the study. Investigators are encouraged to postpone 
surgeries whenever possible until the end of the study including the 4 months follow-up 
period or at least as long as possible after the last study intervention. Hence, study 
intervention should be immediately discontinued if a participant is scheduled for the above 
mentioned surgeries. Participants who permanently discontinue study intervention due to a 
surgery will enter the post-treatment follow-up period (Section 7.1).
Minor surgeries or surgeries with low bleeding potential (e.g., knee replacement surgery) may 
be performed during the trial if deemed necessary and can’t be postponed. Of note, during the 
FOXTROT trial participants have been operated for total knee replacement under full anti-
coagulation with osocimab (doses up to 1.8 mg/kg). Study interventions may be further 
administered after such surgery if deemed appropriate by the investigator and after careful 
post-operative assessment. Before restarting study intervention administration of prohibited 
concomitant medication needs to be taken into account (Section 6.5).
If knowledge of treatment assignment will influence the choice of intervention to manage 
bleeding risk prior to or during the surgery the investigator may immediately obtain the 
participant’s treatment assignment by contacting IWRS.  In this setting, it is appropriate to 
monitor coagulation parameters.  
Management of bleeding and surgery of study participants may further be guided by 
published data regarding patients with inherited FXI deficiency. There have been reports in 
the literature about the successful use of tranexamic acid or ε-amino caproic acid in the 
management of non-ESRD, hemophilia C patients when undergoing surgery (26). The local 
package insert need to be consulted for usage in patients with ESRD on dialysis. In patients

undergoing tooth extractions, i.e. an invasive procedure in tissue with high fibrinolytic 
activity in the oropharynx, Berliner et al. reported uneventful extractions in 19 patients with 
severe FXI deficiency treated with tranexamic acid alone (1 g q.i.d.) started 12 h prior to 
surgery and continued for 7 days after surgery (27). The administration of recombinant FVIIa 
in addition to tranexamic acid was also reported as a therapeutic option in patients with severe 
FXI deficiency undergoing surgery (28- 29). O’Connell et al. reported effective hemostasis 
when a dose of 90 μg/kg of recombinant FVIIa given every two hours in the first 24 hours 
and every 4 hours in the second 24 hours, followed by postoperative tranexamic acid for 7 
days, was used in patients undergoing major surgery. Subsequently, Livnat et al. showed that 
even a single dose of recombinant FVIIa at a dose of 15-30 μg/kg, along with 1 g of 
tranexamic acid given before surgery and then every 6 hours post-surgery for 7-14 days 
achieved satisfactory hemostasis in patients with FXI inhibitors undergoing major surgery 
(30). 
Please consider that for severe renal impairment/ESRD specific limitation or even 
contraindications for use of certain agents may apply. This may differ between countries.
8.2.3
Physical Examinations
A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the 
cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological systems and will follow standard 
practice of the site. Height will only be measured at screening visit. Weight will be measured 
pre- and post-hemodialysis (dry-weight).
8.2.4
Vital Signs

Vital signs will consist of 1 pulse and 1 blood pressure measurements. Vital signs will 
be measured after 5 minutes rest. 

Blood pressure and pulse measurements will be assessed pre-dialysis (with the 
exception of the screening visit), either in a supine or sitting position (preferably in the 
same position for all visits), on the same arm at each visit, and using the appropriate 
size cuff. These measurements will be performed at the time points specified in the 
SoA (see Section 1.3). 
NOTE: The AV graft or fistula arm cannot be used to measure blood pressure.
8.2.5
Electrocardiograms

Single standard electrocardiograms (12 lead ECG) according to Goldberger / 
Einthoven and Wilson will be recorded pre-dialysis after resting for at least 5 min at 
the time points specified in the SoA (see Section 1.3).

All ECG print-outs will be identified with the PID as well as date and time of 
recording and will be attached to the participant’s file.

ECG printouts will be examined locally by the investigator on the day of recording for 
safety and quality. Any clinically relevant abnormality will be documented as an AE.

All suspected acute coronary syndrome events need to be submitted to the CIAC for 
evaluation.

8.2.6
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments

See Section 10.2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the SoA
(Section 1.3) for timing and frequency. 

The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record 
any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE section of the 
eCRF. The laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents. Clinically 
significant abnormal laboratory findings are those which are not associated with the 
underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected 
for the participant's condition.

All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or until the end of study should be repeated until the values 
return to normal or baseline or are no longer considered clinically significant by the 
investigator or the medical monitor.

If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged 
reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor 
notified.

All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Section 10.2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA. 

If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments 
performed at the institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant 
management or are considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g.,
SAE or AE or dose modification), then the results must be recorded in the eCRF.

Appropriate blood draws from the dialysis access for any type of blood sampling, 
collected from the hemodialysis line (not directly from the fistula, nor from any vein 
on the fistula arm), or tunneled catheters are permitted. Whenever possible, the blood 
should be drawn under the same conditions (details are depicted in the laboratory 
manual). 

Where possible for safety laboratory, pediatric-sized blood volumes (as opposed to 
adult-sized blood volumes) are to be taken and blood collections should be combined 
to minimize the number of needle punctures.

During the screening visit, only local laboratory samples will be assessed to check the 
eligibility of the patient. For details see Section 10.2.
Central lab results for PD parameters including coagulation parameters will not be provided to 
the sites, as these are potentially unblinding. Investigators should also avoid local testing of
coagulation parameters, as these may be unblinding, unless clinically indicated.
8.2.7
Dialysis Information
8.2.7.1
Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) Baseline Information (General 
Dialysis Information)
Current dialysis prescription will be collected on the appropriate eCRF.
Note: anticoagulation use during hemodialysis must be reported in the Concomitant 
Medication page in the eCRF.

8.2.7.2
Dialysis Prescription Changes
Changes to the dialysis prescription and compliance with dialysis will be recorded on the 
appropriate eCRF at visits specified in the SoA.
Note: changes in anticoagulation use during hemodialysis must be reported on the appropriate 
eCRF page.
8.3
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the 
participant's legally authorized representative).
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for 
following up AEs that are serious, considered related to the study intervention or study 
procedures, or that caused the participant to discontinue the study intervention or study (see 
Section 7).
8.3.1
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
All AEs/SAEs will be collected from signing of informed consent until the last follow-up visit 
at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and under no 
circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Section 10.3. The investigator will 
submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it being available.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AE or SAE after conclusion of the study 
participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time 
after a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be 
reasonably related to the study intervention or study participation, the investigator must 
promptly notify the sponsor. 
8.3.2
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AE and SAE and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Section 10.3.
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrences.
8.3.3
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs, and AESIs (as defined in Section 8.3.8),
will be followed until resolution, stabilization, the event is otherwise explained, or the 
participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up 
procedures is provided in Section 10.3.
8.3.4
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs

Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that 
legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the 
safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met. 

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  44 of 77

The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators.

For all studies except those utilizing medical devices investigator safety reports must 
be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSAR) according to 
local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and forwarded to investigators as
necessary.

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and will notify the 
IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements.
Reporting of Disease-Related Events
Overall, in compliance with applicable regulations, in the event of a SUSAR related to the 
blinded treatment, the participant’s treatment code will usually be unblinded before reporting 
to the health authorities. Notifications of IEC/IRB and investigators will be done according to 
all applicable regulations (see Section 8.3.4) with the restrictions described below.
During the study there will be instances where AEs are also potential efficacy or safety 
endpoints.
The following efficacy and pre-defined disease-related outcome events are expected in 
patients with ESRD
i.
Bleeding
ii.
Death due to MI, stroke, PE and SE
iii.
Non-fatal stroke
iv.
Non-fatal MI
v.
Major amputation of vascular etiology
vi.
Acute limb ischemia
vii.
Symptomatic VTE 
viii.
Thrombosis of AV fistulas or grafts
These will be recorded on the corresponding CRF page in the participant’s eCRF.
If any of the above listed outcome events fulfil the definition of SAEs as given in 
Section 10.3, the investigator must report them immediately (within 24 hours of the 
investigator’s awareness) to the sponsor’s pharmacovigilance department as described in 
Section 10.3. However, SUSARs that derive from these efficacy outcome events (as specified
above ii – viii: Death due to MI, stroke, PE and SE, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal MI, major 
amputation of vascular etiology, acute limb ischemia, symptomatic VTE, thrombosis of AV 
fistulas or grafts), including events indicative of those outcome events (details will be 
described in the adjudication charter and additional study specific guidance documents) will 
be waived from unblinding and are not subject to expedited reporting to health authorities. In 
case of unblinding, SUSARs may be submitted blinded, either expedited or aggregated, to 

CONFIDENTIAL

investigators and IEC/IRB. Unblinded SUSAR reports are submitted only when required by 
local legislation.
8.3.5
Pregnancy

Details of all pregnancies in female participants and, if indicated, female partners of 
male participants will be collected after signing of informed consent and until the last
follow-up visit (visit 35). 

If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator should inform the sponsor within 24 hours 
of learning of the pregnancy and should follow the procedures outlined in 
Section 10.4.

Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (e.g., spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs.

As serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) levels are high in pregnant and 
may be elevated in non-pregnant women with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis, one 
measurement of high βhCG may not be sufficient to establish pregnancy. Only 
sequential increasing levels of βhCG may be considered for further investigation on 
pregnancy. If deemed necessary, a follow-up ultrasound may be performed to confirm 
pregnancy. If a female participant becomes pregnant, she must permanently 
discontinue study intervention.
8.3.6
Cardiovascular and Death Events
Not applicable.
8.3.7
Disease-Related Events and/or Disease-Related Outcomes Not 
Qualifying as AEs or SAEs
Bleeding after dialysis from AV graft or fistulas is expected and will only be reported as an 
AE or SAE if there is a change in the pattern or intensity of bleeding in a participant, or if 
exceptional measures are taken for hemostasis beyond normal, relative to post-dialysis 
bleeding that was observed in that participant over the prior 4 weeks.
8.3.8
Adverse Events of Special Interest 
Adverse events of special interest have to be reported to the sponsor along the timelines set 
for SAEs, i.e. within 24 hours of the investigator’s awareness, as described in Section 8.3.1.
Declaration of an event as serious should only occur if one or more of the serious criteria is 
applicable. Non-serious adverse events of special interest should not automatically be 
upgraded to serious by the reporting investigator.
Adverse events of special interest are:

Decrease in platelets below 75 x 109/L or > 50 % decrease in platelet count from 
baseline 

Hypersensitivity (i.e. any allergic reactions of ≥ CTCAE criteria 2 [Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events] or anaphylaxis)

Stopping Rule for Study Drug Administration in Case of 
Thrombocytopenia
In the event of a platelet count that is < 75,000mm3, or > 50% decrease in platelet count from 
baseline the initial measurement should be confirmed by drawing repeat measurement(s)
within 2 weeks. The repeat measurement(s) must occur before further study intervention (i.e. 
study drug administration). In the event that the platelet count has not recovered to 
> 100,000 mm3 within 2 weeks , dosing of the participant will be postponed until the platelet 
has increased at least above 100,000 mm3. In the event that after resumed dosing 
thrombocytopenia (< 75,000 mm3) occurs again, study drug administration will be stopped 
permanently. A participant may be withdrawn from study intervention at any time at the 
discretion of the investigator for safety reasons (Section 7.1). 
8.3.8.2
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions will be assessed according the Common Terminology Criteria for 
Adverse Events of the National Cancer Institute (CTCAE v5.0), see Table 8–1.

investigator may decide to cautiously continue further dosing. If any hypersensitivity 
symptom re-occurs dosing will be stopped permanently.
In case of hypersensitivity reactions of ≥ 3 dosing will be directly stopped permanently.
Anaphylaxis is strongly suspected when respiratory symptoms or hypotension occurs within 
10 minutes of injection. All measures at site will be performed according the S2 Guideline for 
acute therapy and management of anaphylaxis (31). 
8.3.9
AEs Requiring Submission to the CIAC
All deaths, and events suspected to be related to cardiovascular disease, or other arterial or 
venous thrombosis (including AV access thrombosis), but not limited to these and starting 
after signing informed consent (randomized participants only), will be submitted to the CIAC 
for adjudication. Similarly, all bleeding events in randomized participants (except a 
participant’s normal/expected post-dialysis bleeding from AV access) will be submitted to the 
CIAC for adjudication. Details of the adjudication process will be described in the 
adjudication charter and additional study specific guidance documents.
8.4
Treatment of Overdose
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should:
1. Contact the Medical Monitor immediately.
2. Closely monitor the participant for any AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities until 
study intervention can no longer be detected systemically (approx. 5 months).
3. Obtain blood samples for PK/PD analysis within 4 to 10 days and an additional one 
around 30 days from the date of the last dose of study intervention if not already 
scheduled according to the study protocol.
4. Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdose in the 
eCRF.
Decisions regarding dose interruptions or modifications will be made by the investigator in 
consultation with the Medical Monitor based on the clinical evaluation of the participant.
8.5
Pharmacokinetics
For the investigation of systemic exposure of osocimab and its relationship with treatment 
effects, the plasma concentrations of osocimab will be determined at different time points 
using a sparse sampling approach in all participating subjects. Details about the collection, 
processing, storage and shipment of samples will be provided separately (e.g., in the 
laboratory manual). Analysis of samples from participants not treated with osocimab is 
optional. 
Blood samples will be collected at the time points indicated in the SoA (Section 1.3). PK 
samples obtained at additional time points based on the investigator’s discretion will not 
qualify as a protocol deviation and will be used for PK analysis as well. Deviations from the 
specified time points will be documented and taken into account for the PK analysis. Date and 
time of the PK sample collection and date and time of most recent study drug administration
must be documented accurately in the eCRF.
PK samples will be analyzed, using validated analytical methods. Quality control (QC) and 
calibration samples will be analyzed concurrently with study samples. The results of 

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  49 of 77
calibration samples and QC samples will be reported in the Bioanalytical Report which will 
be included in the clinical study report (CSR) for this study.
Pharmacokinetic and exposure-response analysis might be performed using population 
approaches (popPK and popPK/PD, e.g., by non-linear mixed effect modeling). Analysis and 
report will be done under separate cover (see Section 6.3).
Exploratory analysis of unbound osocimab or of the complex of osocimab bound to FXI(a) 
might be done if applicable.
8.6
Pharmacodynamics
For the investigation of the pharmacodynamic response to osocimab and its relationship with 
treatment effects, pharmacodynamic parameters detailed below will be determined at different 
time points using a sparse sampling approach in all participating subjects. Details about the 
collection, processing, storage and shipment of samples will be provided separately (e.g., in 
the laboratory manual). Samples from participants not treated with osocimab will also be 
analyzed. 
Blood samples will be collected at the time points indicated in the SoA (Section 1.3). Blood
samples obtained at additional time points based on the investigator’s discretion will not 
qualify as a protocol deviation and will be used for the PD analysis as well. Deviations from 
the specified time points will be documented and taken into account for the PD analysis. Date 
and time of the PD sample collection and date and time of most recent study drug 
administration must be documented accurately in the eCRF.
For PD evaluation of osocimab the last sample taken prior to first drug administration will be 
defined as reference time point (i.e., will be assigned to a relative time of 00d00h00m). 
The actual date and time of blood sampling will be collected in the eCRF. All PD parameters 
will be measured using validated methods. Quality control and calibration samples will be 
analyzed concurrently with study samples. For selected parameters, results of QC samples 
will be reported together with analyte concentrations in the Clinical Study Report (CSR) for 
this study. Concentrations of the analyte are calculated according to the method description. 
Detailed method descriptions of all PD methods will be filed with the CSR for this study. 
The following parameters will be used to assess the PD effects after administration of the 
investigational drug:
Main pharmacodynamic parameters:

aPTT will be measured via the kaolin-trigger method (clotting assay). Furthermore, 
the aPTT assay will be conducted after in vitro-neutralization of heparin in order to 
separate potential heparin effects from the PD effect of osocimab.

Factor XI activity will be assessed with an aPTT-based coagulation test using FXI 
deficient plasma. Furthermore, the assay will be conducted after in vitro-neutralization 
of heparin in order to separate potential heparin effects from the PD effect of 
osocimab.
Other pharmacodynamic parameters:

Activated Factor XIa activity (AXIA) will be analyzed using a kaolin-trigger and a 
fluorogenic substrate readout.

Genetics
Genetic as well as non-genetic analyses may be part of the biomarker investigations in this 
study. Genetic investigations may be of any kind, except for whole genome sequencing. See 
Section 8.8 for details.
8.8
Biomarkers
Genetic as well as non-genetic biomarkers will be investigated. Biomarker analyses might be 
performed optionally and/or only in a subset of participants.
Exploratory biomarkers: FVIII activity, FIX activity, FXII activity, von Willebrand factor 
antigen level, ristocetin cofactor (i.e. von Willebrand factor) activity.
Furthermore, some PD markers listed under Section 8.6 might also be analyzed using 
alternative reagent/analyzer manufacturers in order to assess potential systematic influences 
of the analysis technology. 
In addition to the biomarkers described above, further biomarkers related to, e.g., the mode of 
action or the safety of the study intervention and similar drugs may be investigated. The same 
applies to further biomarkers deemed relevant to cardiovascular and renal diseases and 
associated health problems. These investigations may include e.g., diagnostic, safety, 
pharmacodynamic, monitoring, or potentially predictive biomarkers.
Timing
See SoA (Section 1.3) for planned time points of sample collection.
Sample handling and storage
Details on the collection, processing, storage, and shipment of biomarker samples will be
provided in separate documents (e.g., sample handling sheets or laboratory manual). Samples
may be stored for a maximum of 15 years (or according to local regulations) following the
end of the study at a facility selected by the sponsor to enable further analyses.
Reporting
Some of the results of biomarker investigations may be reported separately (e.g., in a 
biomarker evaluation report).
8.9
Immunogenicity Assessments
The development of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to osocimab will be investigated in plasma
samples from all participants taken at the time points indicated in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
Measurement of ADAs will be done batch-wise only as there is no expected direct impact on

Version 1.0
Page:  51 of 77
participants´ safety in this respective study setting. In case of any hypersensitive AE of life-
threatening consequences the ADA measurement will be carried out at short notice.
Plasma samples will be screened for ADAs to osocimab and the result as well as the titer of 
confirmed positive ADA samples will be reported. ADA positive samples will be further 
characterized for their ability to neutralize the activity of osocimab (i.e. Neutralizing antibody 
(NAB) analysis). Other analyses may be performed to further characterize the 
immunogenicity of osocimab. Analysis of samples from participants not treated with 
osocimab is optional.
Further details on collection, labeling, storage, and shipping of samples are provided in a 
separate laboratory manual. Immunogenicity samples will be analyzed using validated 
analytical methods. Positive controls will be analyzed concurrently with study samples. The 
results of samples and positive control samples will be reported in the Bioanalytical Report 
which will be included in the CSR for this study.

Statistical Considerations 
9.1
Statistical Hypotheses
The primary objective of this study is a qualitative assessment of safety. All analyses are 
performed in a descriptive manner and thus no formal hypothesis is defined. 
9.2
Sample Size Determination 
Assuming 25% screen failure proportion as based on historic operational experience, 
approximately 800 participants will be screened to achieve an estimated total of
approximately 600 participants randomly assigned to study intervention. Of those, 555
participants are expected to complete the main treatment period assuming a true incidence rate 
of 15 participants with LTFU (lost to follow-up) (including e.g., withdrawal of consent) per 
100 participant-years across all groups.
As a participant will be evaluated once he was randomized and received at least one dose of 
study intervention, the number of evaluable and randomized participants can be assumed to be 
similar.
In case that the observed overall incidence rate of participants with LTFU after the 400th
participant is significantly higher than expected, the number of randomized participants may 
be increased (max. of 750 participants) to ensure a sufficient number of participants 
completing the main treatment period.
As all analyses will be performed in a descriptive manner, no statistically driven sample size 
calculation was performed.
The expected 90% confidence interval for the hazard ratio of the primary safety outcome is 
given by [0.57; 2.28], assuming

1.
a true incidence rate of 10 participants with a major or clinically-relevant non-major 
bleeding event (in alignment with ISTH guidelines) per 100 participant-years in the 
placebo group (see below for definition)
2.
a true hazard ratio of 1.0 (i.e. no change in relative risk) in both osocimab groups as 
compared to placebo
3.
6 months of treatment with a true incidence rate of 15 participants with LTFU per 100 
participant-years across all groups.
The corresponding expected 90% confidence interval for the hazard ratio of the primary 
efficacy outcome is given by [0.44; 1.53]. while additionally assuming  
1.
a true incidence rate of 13 participants with a primary efficacy outcome per 100 
participant-years in the placebo group.

Statistical Analyses
The statistical analysis plan will be finalized prior to FPFV (first patient first visit) and it will 
include a more technical and detailed description of the statistical analyses described in this 
section. This section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most important 
endpoints including primary and key secondary endpoints.
9.4.1
General Considerations
The statistical analysis will be performed using SAS; the version used will be specified in the 
statistical analysis plan. In general, all variables including demography and baseline 
characteristics will be summarized by treatment group and by providing frequency tables for 
categorical variables and summary statistics for continuous variables. 

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  53 of 77
For the primary analysis, only the main treatment period will be considered. The partial data
of a participant’s extended treatment period up until primary completion may be presented in 
separate tables. Furthermore, the primary analysis will be performed on the safety analysis set 
in accordance with the “population” attribute of the primary estimand.
In general, participants receiving placebo in either the low-dose or the high-dose cohort will 
be analyzed in a pooled manner. This group will be referred to as placebo group. The group of 
participants receiving osocimab in the high dose cohort (or low dose cohort) will be referred 
to as high dose (or low dose osocimab) group.
Where appropriate, the osocimab groups will be additionally displayed in a pooled manner.
9.4.2
Primary Endpoints
The primary safety analysis is a descriptive time to first primary safety event (for both 
endpoints: composite of major and clinically-relevant non-major bleeding events [in 
alignment with ISTH guidelines] and moderate and severe AEs and SAEs). 
The primary objective is to assess the safety under an osocimab concentration which is 
expected to be maintained during a chronic treatment. Thus the aim it to assess the response to 
treatment while the participant is

alive (intercurrent event “death”) and 

exposed to study intervention (intercurrent event “premature discontinuation of 
treatment”).
Therefore, the time to the first primary safety event is defined as time from first dose of study 
intervention to the first event of the endpoint of interest up until 30 days after last study 
intervention in the main treatment period. The time under risk for a participant without a 
primary safety event will be censored at the date of the EOMT visit, or 30 days after study 
intervention discontinuation, or at the last date data was collected for a participant (e.g., for 
participants lost to follow-up) in the main treatment period, whatever occurs first.
The cumulative incidence risk for the primary safety event together with its confidence 
interval will be estimated. Each of the osocimab groups will be compared to the placebo 
group using two-sided log-rank tests at a type I error rate of α=10%. Due to the explorative 
nature of these analyses, no multiplicity adjustment will be done.
Hazard ratios comparing each of the osocimab groups with the placebo group and 
corresponding 90% (and 95%) confidence intervals will be estimated, as appropriate, from 
Cox proportional hazards models.
Hazard ratio, relative risk reduction (RRR; RRR = 100 × [1 – hazard ratio]%), and 
corresponding 2-sided 90% and 95% confidence intervals comparing each of the osocimab 
groups with the placebo group will be estimated based on two separate Cox proportional 
hazards models. Censoring will be assumed independent of the randomized group assignment.
For the analysis of the primary endpoint in this study, the hazard function h(t) is the chance 
that an individual experiences an event of the primary safety outcome in the next instant in 
time, given that the individual has not had such an event up to time t. For example, for the 
comparison of the osocimab high dose group with the placebo group, the corresponding Cox 
proportional hazards model can be described by the following equation:

Only events that started after the first dose of study treatment and during the main treatment 
period are considered for the primary analysis. Events that occurred during the pre-treatment 
period will be displayed in an exploratory manner.
9.4.3
Secondary Endpoints
The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and FXIa activity at trough levels after 6 
months will be analyzed as ratio to baseline by providing the mean and median, together with 
the standard deviation and quantiles, respectively.
The exploratory composite efficacy endpoint will be analyzed using a time to event analysis 
similarly to the primary safety endpoints. Thus, the descriptive analysis focuses on estimating 
the efficacy under an osocimab concentration which is expected to be maintained during a 
chronic treatment.
Only events that started after the first dose of study treatment and during the main treatment 
period are considered for the primary analysis. Events that occurred during the pre-treatment 
period will be displayed in an exploratory manner.
The endpoint of thrombosis of the arterio-venous grafts or fistulas will be handled similar.
9.4.4
Other Analyses
The difference in the median of SQCSs during main treatment period between each of the 
osocimab groups and the placebo group will be displayed together with the corresponding 
90% (and 95%) confidence intervals based on a T-test.
Furthermore, the difference of the proportion of hemodialysis sessions with adequate 
anticoagulation during main treatment period between each of the osocimab groups and the 
placebo group will be summarized with the corresponding 90% (and 95%) confidence 
intervals based on a proportion test.
The difference in the median of AV access bleeding score during main treatment period
between each of the osocimab groups and the placebo group will be displayed with the 
corresponding 90% (and 95%) confidence intervals based on a T-test.
Furthermore, the difference of the proportion of hemodialysis sessions with no AV access 
bleeding during main treatment period between each of the osocimab groups and the placebo 
group will be summarized with the corresponding 90% (and 95%) confidence intervals based 
on a proportion test.

Both the safety and efficacy analyses will be repeated based on the full data to also include 
events that occurred during the extension treatment period and during the follow-up period.
PK variables
For the investigation of PK, the plasma concentrations of osocimab will be determined at the 
times given in Section 1.3 using a sparse sampling approach.
The data processing and the statistical analysis will be performed in accordance with the 
sponsor’s current guidelines.
Osocimab concentrations will be summarized by visit, separated according to actual dose
cohort. Descriptive statistics of plasma concentrations [geometric mean and percent 
coefficient of variation (%CV), arithmetic mean and %CV, median and range] will be 
presented by treatment group and time in tabular form. Means at any time will only be 
calculated if at least 2/3 of the individual data were measured and were above the lower limit 
of quantification (LLOQ). For the calculation of the mean value, a data point below LLOQ 
will be substituted by one half of this limit. In tables showing mean values, where values 
below LLOQ are included in the calculation of mean values, these means will be marked.
Further details will be specified in the statistical analysis plan.
Pharmacokinetic and exposure-response analysis using population approaches (popPK and 
popPK/PD, e.g., by non-linear mixed effect modeling) will be reported under separate cover, 
if applicable.
PD variables
Results of the additional pharmacodynamics parameter will be displayed utilizing appropriate 
summary statistics and figures. The parameters will be described by the following summary 
statistics: arithmetic mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum. These 
summary statistics will be presented by actual dose group for the original data as well as for 
the absolute and relative changes from baseline as ratio to baseline. In addition, for each 
participant the maximum and minimum relative change from baseline will be determined and 
presented by appropriate summary statistics and figure.
The exploratory PD marker results may be reported separately.
9.5
Interim Analyses
No formal interim analysis is planned.
The primary analysis will be performed after all participants have completed the main 
treatment period (primary completion). A full analysis will be performed after the last 
participant has completed the follow-up of 4 months (study completion).
Furthermore, the DMC will frequently review safety data to ensure the safety of the 
participants in the ongoing study. The required tables and listings will be created by an 
independent Statistical Analysis Center (SAC).

Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)
A DMC will frequently review safety data to ensure the safety of the participants in the 
ongoing study.

Committees Structure
Three independent committees will be established in order to ensure a high-standard study 
conduct according to GCP, aiming to achieve ultimate integrity, consistency, and high quality 
data, and most importantly ensure the safety of the participants enrolled in the study. The 
committees are:
Steering Committee (SC): 
The SC will advise on all scientific aspects of the study and it will ensure that study execution 
and management of the study are of the highest quality. The Steering committee will consist 
of: External key experts in the field of nephrology, cardiology and hematology and sponsor 
representatives. Further details can be found in the SC charter.
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC): 
The primary role of the DMC is to frequently review the safety data and ensure the safety of 
the participants in the ongoing study including unblinded data if deemed necessary. The DMC 
will consist of members who have recognized clinical expertise or expertise in biostatistics
and who are not members of the steering committee, or involved as investigators or otherwise 
in the trial. Further details can be found in the DMC charter.
Central Independent Adjudication Committee (CIAC):
The central independent adjudication committee is blinded to treatment allocation and dose 
cohort and will objectively assess the safety and efficacy outcomes of the study and may 
convene on an ad-hoc basis for timely assessment. Further details will be found in the CIAC 
charter.

foreseen, the investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to the sponsor 
before submission. This allows the sponsor to protect proprietary information and to 
provide comments. 

The sponsor will comply with the requirements for publication of study results. In 
accordance with standard editorial and ethical practice, the sponsor will generally 
support publication of multicenter studies only in their entirety and not as individual 
site data. In this case, a coordinating investigator will be designated by mutual 
agreement.

Authorship will be determined by mutual agreement and in line with International 
Committee of Medical Journal Editors authorship requirements.

In addition the sponsor recognizes the right of the investigator to publish the results 
upon completion of the study. However, the investigator, whilst free to utilize study 
data derived from his/her center for scientific purposes, must obtain written consent of 
the sponsor on the intended publication manuscript before its submission. To this end, 
the investigator must send a draft of the publication manuscript to the sponsor within a 
time period specified in the contract. The sponsor will review the manuscript promptly 
and will discuss its content with the investigator to reach a mutually agreeable final 
manuscript.

10.3
Appendix 3: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting
10.3.1
Definition of AE
AE Definition

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, 
whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) whether or 
not associated with the use of study intervention.
Events Meeting the AE Definition 

Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) 
or other safety assessments (e.g., ECG, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (i.e., not related 
to progression of underlying disease).

Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition.

New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol

Version 1.0
Page:  64 of 77
though it may have been present before the start of the study.

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction.

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as an 
AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae.

The signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy will be 
reported as AE or SAE if they fulfil the definition of an AE or SAE. Also, “lack of 
efficacy” or “failure of expected pharmacological action” also constitutes an AE or 
SAE.
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition 

Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition.

The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition.

Medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is the AE.

Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital).

Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present 
or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.
10.3.2
Definition of SAE
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, death 
due to progression of disease).
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:
a.
Results in death
b.
Is life-threatening

The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in 
which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not 
refer to an event, which hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more 
severe.

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  65 of 77
c.
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been detained 
(usually involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward 
for observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the 
physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications that occur during 
hospitalization are AEs. If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any 
other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether 
“hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered 
serious.

Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not 
worsen from baseline is not considered an AE.
d.
Results in persistent disability/incapacity

The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to 
conduct normal life functions.

This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, 
influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g., sprained ankle) which may interfere with 
or prevent everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.
e.
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
f.
Other situations:

Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that 
may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but 
may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to 
prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These events 
should usually be considered serious.

Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, 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.
10.3.3
Recording and Follow-Up of AE and/or SAE
AE and SAE Recording

When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation (e.g., hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostics 
reports) related to the event.

The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information in the eCRF.

It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to sponsor in lieu of completion of the AE/SAE eCRF page.

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  66 of 77

There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by sponsor and CIAC. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the 
exception of the participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical 
records before submission to sponsor.

The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not 
the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE.
Assessment of Intensity

The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported 
during the study and assign it to 1 of the following categories: 

Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal 
discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities.

Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities.

Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed as 
severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category utilized for rating 
the intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe.

An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes 
as described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe.

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  67 of 77
Assessment of Causality

The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention 
and each occurrence of each AE/SAE.

A “reasonable possibility” of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out.

The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship.

Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated.

The investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment.

For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality.

There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to the sponsor’s PV. However, it 
is very important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality 
for every event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to sponsor.

The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment.

The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs

The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by sponsor 
to elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This 
may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological 
examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals.

If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-
up period, the investigator will provide the CIAC with a copy of any post-mortem 
findings including histopathology. 

New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed eCRF.

The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor’s PV within 24 
hours of receipt of the information.

10.3.4
Reporting of SAEs
SAE Reporting to the Sponsor via an Electronic Data Collection Tool

The primary mechanism for reporting an SAE to sponsor will be the electronic data 
collection tool.

If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data 
collection tool (see next section) in order to report the event within 24 hours.

The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available.

After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will be 
taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data.

If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see 
next section) or to the sponsor’s medical monitor by telephone.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in Investigator Site File.
SAE Reporting to Sponsor via Paper CRF

Email transmission of the SAE paper CRF is the preferred method to transmit this 
information to the sponsor.

In rare circumstances and if email transmission is not feasible, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by overnight 
mail or courier service.

Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE CRF pages within the designated reporting time frames.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the Investigator Site File.

Appendix 4: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy 
Information
Definitions:
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP)
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal 
unless permanently sterile (see below).
If fertility is unclear (e.g., amenorrhea in adolescents or athletes) and a menstrual cycle cannot 
be confirmed before first dose of study intervention, additional evaluation should be 
considered.

CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
No. BAY 1213790 / 20115
Version 1.0
Page:  69 of 77
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP
1. Premenarchal
2. Premenopausal female with 1 of the following:

Documented hysterectomy

Documented bilateral salpingectomy

Documented bilateral oophorectomy
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than the 
above, (e.g., mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity), investigator discretion should be 
applied to determining study entry.
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s: review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview.
3. Postmenopausal female

A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an 
alternative medical cause.

A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal 
range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using 
hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). 
However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with 
more than one FSH measurement is required. 

Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use 
one of the non-estrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they 
wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue 
HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment.
Contraception Guidance:
Women of childbearing potential with their partner must agree to use a highly effective 
contraception method from signing informed consent until approx. 150 days (due to long half-
life with only monthly administration) after last study intervention.
If engaged in sexual activity with child-bearing potential partner, male participants with their 
female partner must use highly effective contraception from signing informed consent until 
approx. 150 days (due to long half-life with only monthly administration) after last study 
intervention. 
Highly effective contraception methods are for example: 

History of surgical sterilization (male participant or female partner)

Female partner uses hormonal contraception or intrauterine contraception/device

Sexual abstinence
Male participants with partners that are pregnant must use condoms as contraception to ensure 
that the fetus does not get in contact with sperm fluid in case it may contain osocimab. Also 
male participants with female partners who are breast feeding must use condoms.

Collection of Pregnancy Information:
Male participants with partners who become pregnant 

The investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male 
participant’s female partner who becomes pregnant while the male participant is in 
this study. This applies only to male participants who receive study intervention, after 
up to the last follow-up visit (5 months after the last intervention is given).

After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female 
partner directly, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the appropriate 
form and submit it to the sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the partner’s 
pregnancy. The female partner will also be followed to determine the outcome of the 
pregnancy. Information on the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to the 
sponsor. Generally, the follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the 
estimated delivery date. Any termination of the pregnancy will be reported regardless 
of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for the procedure.
Female participants who become pregnant 

The investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female participant who 
becomes pregnant while participating in this study. The initial information will be 
recorded on the appropriate form and submitted to the sponsor within 24 hours of 
learning of a participant's pregnancy. 

The participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
investigator will collect follow-up information on the participant and the neonate and 
the information will be forwarded to the sponsor. Generally, follow-up will not be 
required for longer than 6 to 8 weeks beyond the estimated delivery date. Any 
termination of pregnancy will be reported, regardless of fetal status (presence or 
absence of anomalies) or indication for the procedure.

While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, any pregnancy 
complication or elective termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons will be 
reported as an AE or SAE. 

A spontaneous abortion (occurring at <22 weeks gestational age) or still birth 
(occurring at >22 weeks gestational age) is always considered to be an SAE and 
will be reported as such. 

Any post-study pregnancy related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the investigator will be reported to the sponsor as described in 
Section 8.3.4. While the investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information 
in former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE through spontaneous 
reporting. 

Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
discontinue study intervention.
