Methodology: Phase I, open-label, 3-period, cross-over study.
The study will be divided into 3 periods. Each subject will receive all 3 treatments A, B and C, 
and will be randomized to one of 6 treatment sequences. In Treatment A, the PK of tepotinib
will be evaluated after oral single dose administration of 500 mg tepotinib under fed condition.
Under Treatments B and C, 40 mg omeprazole will be administered once per day for 5 days. 
On Day 5, omeprazole and tepotinib will be co-administered once under fasted (Treatment B),
and once under fed conditions (Treatment C). The washout period will be at least 14 days 
between tepotinib single dose administrations. Participants will be randomized in a balanced 
way to one of 6 treatment sequences.
The subjects will be admitted to the study site on Day -1 of each period. After administration 
of tepotinib alone (Treatment A) the subjects will be resident at the study site from Days -1 to 
4 and must visit the site on the morning of Days 5 to 7 for further blood sampling. In both 
periods with omeprazole co-administration (Treatments B and C) the subjects will be resident 
at the study site from Days -1 to 8 and must visit the site on the morning of Days 9 to 11 for 
further blood sampling.
Planned number of subjects: Overall, 12 healthy subjects are planned to be included.
Primary Endpoint:

PK profile of tepotinib following Treatments A and C in terms of area under the 
concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to the last sampling time 144 h 
postdose (AUC0-t), AUC from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞) and 
maximum plasma concentration (Cmax).
Secondary Endpoints: 

PK profile of tepotinib following Treatment B in terms of AUC0-t from time zero to 
144 h postdose, AUC0-∞and Cmax

PK profile of tepotinib following Treatments A, B and C in terms of time of the 
maximum drug concentration (tmax), terminal half-life (t1/2), time prior to the first 
measurable (non-zero) concentration (tlag), apparent total body clearance (CL/f), 
apparent volume of distribution during terminal phase (VZ/f)

Occurrence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs, incidence, frequency, 
intensity and causality), occurrence of changes in safety laboratory assessments, 
12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and vital signs in subjects receiving tepotinib alone 
and together with omeprazole assessed from Day -1 of Period 1 until the End of Trial
Visit.
Exploratory Endpoints: 

PK profiles of tepotinib metabolites: AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Cmax, tmax, and t1/2

Ratios of tepotinib metabolites to tepotinib: MRAUC0-∞and MRCmax

Genetic variants and mutations in genes that potentially influence the PK of tepotinib.

Pharmacokinetics: 
Blood samples for determination of plasma concentrations of tepotinib and its metabolites 
MSC2571109A and MSC2571107A will be taken at predose until 144 hours (h) after dosing 
on Day 1 of Treatment A and Day 5 of Treatments B and C. PK parameters will be calculated 
using non-compartmental analysis. 
Other assessments: Not applicable.
Diagnosis and key inclusion and exclusion criteria: 
Healthy males and females (of non-childbearing potential) between 18 and 55 years of age 
(inclusive) with total body weight between 50 to 100 kg (inclusive) and body mass index 
(BMI) between 18.5 and 29.9 kg/m2 (inclusive) at the time of the Screening examination.
Investigational Medicinal Product: dose/mode of administration/ dosing schedule:
Tepotinib film-coated tablet (Tablet Formulation 2, TF2) containing 500 mg of drug substance, 
oral administration.
Omeprazole, 40 mg gastro-resistant hard capsule.
Treatment A: A single oral dose of 500 mg tepotinib will be administered on Day 1 together 
with 240 mL still water at 30 minutes (min) after start of the breakfast which will have to be 
consumed completely within 25 min. 
Treatment B: Single doses of 40 mg omeprazole will be administered in the fasted state in the 
morning of Days 1 to 5. In the morning of Day 5, also a single oral dose of 500 mg tepotinib 
will be administered, in fasted state, 2 h after the omeprazole administration.
Treatment C: Single doses of 40 mg omeprazole will be administered in the fasted state in the 
morning of Days 1 to 5. In the morning of Day 5, also a single oral dose of 500 mg tepotinib 
will be administered in a fed state, 2 h after the omeprazole administration and 30 min after 
start of breakfast.
Reference therapy: dose/mode of administration/dosing schedule: Not applicable
Planned trial and treatment duration per subject:
About 2 months from Screening to End of Trial Visit, treatment on Day 1 of Treatment A and 
Days 1 to 5 of Treatments B and C.

Statistical methods:
A linear model with TREATMENT, PERIOD, SEQUENCE and SUBJECT (SEQUENCE) as 
fixed effects will be applied to log-transformed PK parameters Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞
based on the PK analysis set. Treatment differences C-A and C-B on the log scale will be 
estimated for Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞together with their 90% confidence intervals (CIs). 
Point estimates and CIs will be back-transformed to the original scale.
The relative bioavailabilities C/A and C/B will be calculated for each subject.
Summary statistics will be provided for all parameters.

Effect of a proton pump inhibitor on the PK of Tepotinib

Until 30 September 2017, 452 subjects have been exposed to tepotinib. 60 subjects of these were 
exposed to the tepotinib + gefitinib combination. Five studies have been completed; 3 of these 
were conducted as single dose studies in healthy subjects (EMR200095-002, EMR200095-007, 
and MS200095-0012; n = 79 subjects), and 2 as multiple dose studies in subjects with different 
solid tumors (EMR200095-001 and EMR200095-003; n = 161). In addition, 4 studies in subjects 
with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; EMR200095-004, EMR200095-005) or epidermal growth 
factor receptor (EGFR) mutated or c-Met mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; 
EMR200095-006, and MS200095-0022) are ongoing. In the ongoing studies, subjects with HCC 
received tepotinib as multidose monotherapy, and subjects with NSCLC received either 
multidose tepotinib monotherapy or a multidose combination with gefitinib in Phase I or Phase 
Ib/II studies. Doses of tepotinib of up to 1400 mg daily in subjects with solid tumors 
(EMR200095-001) and up to 1000 mg daily in subjects with HCC (EMR200095-004) have been 
explored.
The 500 mg tepotinib single oral dose has been studied in previous studies with 36 healthy 
subjects in total (EMR200095-007: 12 subjects, MS200095-0012: 24 subjects, 2 single doses of 
500 mg) and was well tolerated. A dose of 500 mg once daily is the recommended Phase II dose 
(RP2D). Refer to the Investigator’s Brochure for further information about the nonclinical and 
clinical programs and the implemented Guidance for the Investigator.
Based on the currently available nonclinical as well as clinical safety data, there is no objection 
against administration of single doses of tepotinib to healthy subjects. It is recognized that 
healthy subjects will not get benefit by participating in this study. However, this study will 
generate mandatory human data about the potential of drug-drug interaction (DDI) of a proton 
pump inhibitor (omeprazole) on the PK of tepotinib, which is of importance in the context of 
concomitant medication in tumor patients with hepatic impairment treated with tepotinib. This is 
basic information to safeguard the further clinical development of tepotinib in patients suffering 
from malignancies such as HCC. During the development of tepotinib, in all 3 studies performed 
in healthy subjects (n = 79), the subjects well tolerated a single or 3 doses of tepotinib (different 
dose levels up to 500 mg single dose). All treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were 
mild to moderate, except one Grade 3 asymptomatic lipase elevation in 1 subject. TEAEs did not 
show a pattern across all 3 trials. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were reported and no subject 
died. No clinically significant findings regarding laboratory parameters, vital signs and ECG 
including corrected QT interval according to Fridericia (QTcF) values were noted.
Elevations in serum lipase and amylase are considered as identified risks for subjects 
administered tepotinib. These elevations were observed in 5 of 79 healthy subjects exposed to 
tepotinib and were mild to moderate in severity (exception: one Grade 3 lipase elevation) and 
without apparent dose dependency. All increases of serum amylase/lipase were asymptomatic 
and not associated with a pancreatitis.
Subjects enrolled in this study might be exposed to a risk, including pancreatic enzyme elevation. 
However, inclusion of healthy subjects is justified when the administration of tepotinib is limited 
to a single dose or short term multiple administrations that will be given under close monitoring 
conditions to reduce the risk for untoward effects.

Knowing that loss of c-Met induces teratogenic effects in c-Met knockout mice, stringent criteria 
are applied to ensure exclusion of women of childbearing potential in this study. A pilot embryo-
fetal development study in rabbits revealed maternotoxic effects and a dose-dependent increased 
number of skeletal malformations (teratogenicity). Only healthy women that are known to be 
postmenopausal or surgically sterile (ie due to hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, or 
bilateral salpingectomy) will be enrolled in this study (for details see Section 5, Investigational 
Plan). Male subjects will be required to take precautions with regards to female partners.
To further mitigate any risk, a close monitoring of the safety laboratory parameters, ECG, and 
vital signs will be performed in all healthy subjects. Subjects will be admitted to the study site 
and remain resident there for at least 72 h after administration of a single tepotinib dose in each 
treatment period, to allow continuous safety monitoring. In addition, frequent monitoring of 
subjects is ensured by subsequent ambulant visits and by choosing a contract research 
organization (CRO) experienced in the conduct of clinical pharmacology studies.
Omeprazole
Omeprazole reduces gastric acid secretion through a highly targeted inhibition of the H+K+-
ATPase - the proton pump expressed in the parietal cell. It is frequently used for the treatment of 
gastroesophageal reflux, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. For further 
information refer to the SmPC [1].
Oral dosing with omeprazole once daily leads to rapid and effective inhibition of daytime and 
nighttime gastric acid secretion with maximum effect being achieved within 4 days of daily 
treatment [1].
The recommended daily dose of omeprazole to treat patients with active duodenal or
intragastrical ulcer is 20 mg per day, but can be increased to 40 mg omeprazole per day as 
necessary. With omeprazole 20 mg, a mean decrease of at least 80% in 24-hour intragastrical
acidity is then maintained in duodenal ulcer patients, with the mean decrease in peak acid output 
after pentagastrin stimulation being about 70% 24 hours after dosing. Oral dosing with 
omeprazole 20 mg maintains an intragastrical pH of ≥3 for a mean time of 17 hours of the 24-
hour period in duodenal ulcer patients.
Likewise, omeprazole significantly reduced the percentage of time with pH < 5 postprandially. 
Omeprazole does not change 24-hour median intraduodenal pH significantly [2].
3.1
Trial Rationale
The impact of the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on the bioavailability of tepotinib will be 
studied as the solubility of tepotinib is pH dependent, specifically tepotinib is slightly soluble at 
pH 4.5 whereas it is practically insoluble at pH 1.2, 6.8, and 7.4 (see Figure 1). In this study, the 
impact of the proton pump inhibitor omeprazole on the bioavailability of tepotinib will be 
studied. A 3-period, crossover study design will be used to investigate the effect of omeprazole 
on the PK of tepotinib under fasted and fed condition, and based on the regulatory guidelines of 
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [3] and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) [4].

Based to the known minor, but positive food effect on tepotinib exposure (EMR200095-003, see 
Tepotinib Investigator’s Brochure), tepotinib is developed in clinical studies with patients by 
administration under fed condition. Therefore, the PK of tepotinib after single dose 
administration under fed condition (Treatment A) will serve as reference in this study.

Data of 2 different batches are presented.
This clinical trial will be conducted in compliance with the clinical trial protocol, ICH GCP and 
any additional applicable regulatory requirements.
Based on the available nonclinical and clinical data to date, the conduct of the trial specified in 
this protocol is considered justifiable.

Investigational Plan
5.1
Overall Trial Design and Plan
This is a Phase I, open-label, 3-period, crossover study to investigate the effect of omeprazole on 
the PK of tepotinib in 12 healthy subjects under fasted and fed condition. A flowchart 
summarizing the overall study design is shown in Figure 2. Two subjects each will be 
randomized to one of the six possible treatment sequences.
The study will be divided into 3 periods: in one period, the PK of tepotinib will be evaluated 
after single dose administration under fed condition (Treatment A), and in two periods 
omeprazole will be administered for 5 days and a respective single dose of tepotinib will be co-
administered on Day 5. Thereby tepotinib will be administered 2 hours after omeprazole 
administration once under fasted (Treatment B) and once under fed conditions (Treatment C). 
The washout period will be at least 14 days between tepotinib single dose administrations (see 
Figure 2). Subjects will be randomized to one of six possible treatment sequences as detailed in 
Section 8.2.

Safety assessments: Vital signs, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory.
A screening period will occur from Day -21 to Day -2.
Subjects will be admitted to the study site on Day -1 of each period. After administration of 
tepotinib alone the subjects will be resident at the study site under medical supervision from 
Days -1 to 4 and must visit the site on the morning of Days 5 to 7 for further blood sampling. In 
both periods with omeprazole co-administration the subjects will be resident at the study site 
under medical supervision from Days -1 to 8 and must visit the site on the morning of Days 9 to 
11 for further blood sampling.
Blood and urine samples will be collected for laboratory assessments (hematology, biochemistry, 
urinalysis), which will be performed at Screening, throughout the inpatient period of each 
treatment period as explained in detail in Table 2 and Table 3 (also see Figure 2) and for the End 
of Trial Visit. 
Serial blood samples for PK assessments will be collected for 144 h (7 days) after tepotinib 
administration in all 3 periods. 
The End of Trial Visit is planned 7 days (± 1 day) after tepotinib administration in the last 
period. An Early Termination Visit will be conducted for subjects who withdraw prematurely. 
The same assessments as for the End of Trial Visit will be conducted at the Early Termination 
Visit. 
A detailed schedule of study procedures and assessments is provided in Table 1, Table 2 and

Discussion of Trial Design
The trial design is based on the regulatory guidelines of the FDA and the EMA (see Section 3.1).
5.2.1
Inclusion of Special Populations
Not applicable.
5.2.2
Scientific Rationale for Trial Design
The study design and endpoints are typical for a drug interaction study of this type. The single 
dose design is more sensitive in showing changes in the PK as compared to multiple dose 
designs. Considering that the main influence of the gastric pH change is on the absorption, a 
single dose design is preferred.
The study will utilize a crossover design to minimize the influence of covariates, with all 3 
treatments applied to each subject. Tepotinib has an elimination t1/2 of about 30 h and its main 
metabolite MSC2571109A has a t1/2 of approximately 45 h. Very low concentrations were 
observed after 14 days in study MS200095-0012, (ie, less than the 5% of Cmax as required in the

bioequivalence guidance [5]). Therefore, a washout period of at least 14 days is considered 
appropriate to prevent any significant carryover effects between periods. 
Healthy subjects will be included in the study to minimize variability, which is expected to be 
higher in a patient population. Non-clinical safety investigations did not reveal a genotoxicity 
potential or other findings with relevance for human use. Therefore, it is reasonable that tepotinib 
can be administered to healthy subjects such as in this study in which careful safety monitoring is 
conducted. Knowing that tepotinib shows teratogenic effects, only healthy women that are 
postmenopausal or surgically sterile (ie, due to hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, or 
bilateral salpingectomy) will be enrolled in this study and male subjects must take precautions 
with female partners.
This study is performed in healthy subjects to minimize variability that may be observed in a co-
morbid patient on concomitant treatments. Further, participation of tumor patients in this cross-
over study would delay their start of continuous tumor treatment due to study requirements. A 
close monitoring of the safety laboratory parameters, ECG, and vital signs will be performed in 
all subjects. Subjects will be admitted to the study site and remain resident there until at least 
72 h after the last administration, to allow continuous safety monitoring. A hospitalization period 
of 72 h after the last dose of tepotinib is regarded as sufficient to ensure close safety monitoring 
of the subjects during the initial elimination of about 70 - 80%. The End of Trial Visit is set at 
7 (1) days after last dose of tepotinib, hence covering full elimination of tepotinib. The 
Investigator can extend the inpatient period as appropriate. In addition, monitoring of subjects is 
ensured by choosing a CRO experienced in the conduct of clinical pharmacology studies.
5.2.3
Justification for Dose
The 500 mg single oral dose has been studied in previous studies in healthy subjects and was 
found to be well tolerated. The tepotinib dose of 500 mg is the RP2D for the treatment of human 
malignant tumors. 
Omeprazole will be administered as 40 mg gastro-resistant capsules, daily for 5 days. A 40 mg 
daily dose is the approved dose for 14 days for Helicobacter pylori eradication and it is the 
approved dose for 4 to 8 weeks for a gastric ulcer. For the long-term management of patients 
with healed reflux esophagitis, the recommended dose of omeprazole is up to 40 mg once daily. 
The anti-secretory effect of multiple doses of 20 and 40 mg of omeprazole in healthy subjects 
and in patients demonstrate a greater effect following a 40 mg daily dose compared to 20 mg. 
The maximum effect on the inhibition of gastric acid secretion is 2 to 6 h post-dose. The 
inhibitory effect of omeprazole on gastric acid secretion increases with repeated once-daily 
dosing, reaching a plateau after 4 days [6].
5.2.4
Rationale for Endpoints
The peak (Cmax) and extent (AUC) of exposure of tepotinib after single dose administration are 
considered adequate endpoints to evaluate the effect of omeprazole on the PK of tepotinib and its 
metabolites. These endpoints are in line with the regulatory guidance of the FDA and the EMA
(see Section 3.1).

Criteria for Subject Withdrawal
5.5.1
Withdrawal from Trial Treatment
A subject must be withdrawn from IMPs administration if any of the following occur:

The subject requires treatment with any medication suspected or known to interfere with 
the IMPs

The subject is suspected or known not to comply with the protocol directives (use of 
prohibited medication, noncompliance with the sampling schedule, nonadherence to 
dietary rules, and nonattendance at study assessments).
Withdrawal of a subject from study drug due to any of the above reasons means that this subject 
prematurely discontinues the study, ie before completion of the full profiling and all safety 
investigations. Subjects who dropped out, must be encouraged to attend the End of Trial
examination for safety reasons (see Table 1).
Subjects who dropped out with incomplete PK data must be replaced.
5.5.2
Withdrawal from the Trial
Subjects must be withdrawn from the study by the Investigator at any time for any of the 
following reasons:

that are considered necessary for the subject’s wellbeing (eg paracetamol up to 1500 mg per 
day) may be given at the discretion of the Investigator
Subject is no longer able to participate for other medical reasons (eg surgery, intercurrent 
illness)
Any other condition which to the opinion of the Investigator no longer justifies or permits a 
safe participation of the subject.
Any of the following individual stopping criteria is met unless deemed unrelated to study 
drug(s) (IMPs) by the Investigator with alternate etiology identified:
-
Abnormal clinically relevant vital signs confirmed on 2 or more measurements (min. 
5 minute intervals), including abnormal blood pressure 
o
hypotension defined as systolic < 80 mmHg and/or diastolic < 40 mmHg, or
o
hypertension defined as systolic > 160 mmHg and/or diastolic > 100 mmHg 
-
Abnormal clinically relevant ECG findings, including a corrected QT-interval (ad modus 
Fridericia; QTcF) > 500 ms or an increase in QTcF > 60 ms compared to baseline, 
confirmed on ≥ 2 repeat measurements

range (ULN), total bilirubin ≥2 x ULN), creatinine ˃ 1.5 x (ULN) confirmed by ≥2 
repeat measurements
-
Any clinically relevant symptom or sign which in the opinion of the Investigator and/or 
Sponsor warrants subject withdrawal
If a subject has failed to attend scheduled trial assessments, the Investigator must determine the 
reasons and the circumstances as completely and accurately as possible.
In case a subject should be withdrawn from the trial, the medical monitor and clinical trial leader 
at the Sponsor will be informed immediately.
If there is a medical reason for the withdrawal, appropriate medical care will be provided.
In case of premature withdrawal from the trial, the assessments scheduled for the last End of 
Trial Visit should be performed, as Early Termination Visit, if possible with focus on the most 
relevant assessments (see Table 1). In any case, the appropriate electronic Case Report Form 
(eCRF) section must be completed.
Subjects who withdraw from the trial with incomplete PK data must be replaced.

6.3
Assignment to Treatment Groups
Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of six treatment sequences (see Section 8.2). Only 
subjects who comply with all selection criteria will be included into the trial. Prior to the first 
administration the subjects will be assigned to a treatment sequence via the random number on 
Day 1. 
According CRO standard operational procedures (SOPs) the subjects will be assigned to the 
random number in the order of their registration to the study (first registration results in the 
lowest available random number, second registration results in the second lowest available 
random number, and so on). However, precedence will be given to subjects who participate in a 
trial at 
 for the first time and for subjects who served as “stand-by” during a 
preceding trial. 
The Investigator will keep a record relating the subjects’ random numbers and the names of all 
subjects (including screening number and the Nuvisan GmbH ID number) who have given their 
informed consent, to allow easy checking of data in subject files, when required. This record will 
also include the date of subject’s enrolment and completion, as well as subjects who could not be 
randomized for whatever reason.

Preparation, Handling, and Storage of the Investigational 
Medicinal Product
The pharmacy or designee will receive the IMPs labeled and packaged according to the local 
regulatory requirements and the storage requirements. Tepotinib and the interaction drug will be 
supplied in ready to use oral formulations. The responsible pharmacist will dispense the 
necessary amount of the IMPs. Detailed guidance will be provided in an IMP handling manual.
The IMP supplies will be recorded in an IMP inventory.
Tepotinib must be carefully stored at the trial site in a closed room or cabinet with restricted 
access, safely and separately from other drugs and protected from environmental extremes until 
used in the trial. Tepotinib should be stored at or below 25°C. Any deviations from the 
recommended storage conditions should be immediately reported to the Sponsor, and the IMP 
should not be used until authorization has been received from the Sponsor. The preparation, 
handling and storage of the IMP will be documented.
Detailed recommendations for the use and storage of omeprazole are described in the Summary 
of Product Characteristics. 
The IMPs must not be used for any purpose other than the trial in question.
It must be ensured at the trial site that the IMPs are not used after the use-by date. This is to be 
closely monitored by the responsible monitor.
6.8
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability
The Clinical Trial Supply Department of Nuvisan GmbH is responsible for ensuring IMP 
accountability, including reconciliation of drugs and maintenance of records. Drug accountability 
will also be confirmed by the Trial Monitor.

Upon receipt of IMPs, the responsible person will check for accurate delivery and 
acknowledge receipt by signing or initialing and dating the appropriate documentation 
and returning it to the location specified. A copy will be archived for the Investigator Site 
File

IMP dispensing will be recorded on the appropriate drug accountability forms so that 
accurate records will be available for verification at each monitoring visit

Trial site IMP accountability records will include the following:

Confirmation of IMP receipt, in good condition and in the defined temperature range

The inventory of IMPs provided for the clinical trial and prepared at the site

The use of each dose by each subject

The disposition (including return, if applicable) of any unused IMP

Dates, quantities, batch numbers, kit numbers, expiry dates, formulation (for IMP 
prepared at the site), and the individual subject trial numbers.

The Investigator site should maintain records, which adequately document that subjects were 
provided the doses specified in this protocol, and all IMPs provided were fully reconciled.
Unused IMP must not be discarded or used for any purpose other than the present trial. No IMP 
that is dispensed to a subject may be redispensed to a different subject.
A Trial Monitor will periodically collect the IMP accountability forms.
At the conclusion or termination of this trial, all used and unused IMP kits will be destroyed at 
the trial site according to local regulations and institutional guidelines. All used and unused 
medications will be carefully recorded and documented before destruction.
6.9
Assessment of Investigational Medicinal Product Compliance
During the treatment periods, drug administrations will be performed by a Nuvisan GmbH staff 
member in accordance with the specifications of the Investigator. This includes checking the oral 
and buccal cavity with the aid of a flashlight and tongue depressor. The proper administration of 
the trial medication will be documented on the individual eCRF.
6.10
Blinding
This is an open label study by design. Therefore, blinding is not applicable. (Note: the 
bioanalytics will be performed without knowledge of treatment information. Access to treatment 
information will be restricted and defined in a Data Access Plan).
6.11
Emergency Unblinding
Not applicable.
6.12
Treatment of Overdose
An overdose is defined as any dose greater than the highest daily dose included in a clinical trial 
protocol or planned for an individual subject enrolled in the trial. Even if it does not meet other 
criteria for an SAE, any overdose must be recorded in the trial medication section of the eCRF
and reported to Patient Safety in an expedited manner using the SAE Report Form, and following 
the procedure in Section 7.4.
The effects of an overdose of tepotinib are unknown, and therefore no standard treatment is 
currently established. In the event of an overdose, the Investigator or treating physician should 
use appropriate clinical judgment for the management of any clinical symptoms or evaluation 
results.
There is limited information available on the effects of overdoses of omeprazole in humans. In 
the literature, doses of up to 560 mg have been described, and occasional reports have been 
received when single oral doses have reached up to 2400 mg omeprazole (60 times the usual 
recommended clinical dose of 40 mg). Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea

will report any AEs, whether observed by the Investigator or reported by the subject (see Section 
7.4.1.2). The reporting period for AEs is described in Section 7.4.1.3.
7.4.1
Adverse Events
7.4.1.1
Adverse Event Definitions
Adverse Event
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal relationship with this treatment. An 
AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether 
or not considered related to the medicinal product. 
For surgical or diagnostic procedures, the condition/illness leading to such a procedure is 
considered as the AE rather than the procedure itself.
The Investigator is required to grade the severity or toxicity of each AE. Investigators will 
reference the National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (NCI-
CTCAE), Version 4.03 (publication date: 14 June 2010), a descriptive terminology that can be 
used for AE reporting. A general grading (severity/intensity; hereafter referred to as severity) 
scale is provided at the beginning of the above referenced document, and specific event grades 
are also provided. If the severity for an AE is not specifically graded by NCI-CTCAE, the 
Investigator is to use the general NCI-CTCAE definitions of Grade 1 through Grade 5, using his 
or her best medical judgment.
The 5 general grades are:
Grade 1 or Mild
Grade 2 or Moderate
Grade 3 or Severe 
Grade 4 or Life-threatening 
Grade 5 or Death
Any clinical AE with severity of Grade 4 or 5 must also be reported as an SAE. However, a 
laboratory abnormality of Grade 4, such as hemoglobin decreased or neutrophils count 
decreased, is considered serious only if the condition meets one of the serious criteria specified 
below.
If death occurs, the primary cause of death or event leading to death should be recorded and 
reported as an SAE. “Fatal” will be recorded as the outcome of this specific event and death will 
not be recorded as separate event. Only, if no cause of death can be reported (eg, sudden death, 
unexplained death), the death per se might then be reported as an SAE.
Investigators must also systematically assess the causal relationship of AEs to IMPs (including 
any other non-IMPs, radiation therapy, etc.) using the following definitions. Decisive factors for

Related:
Reasonably related to the IMPs. AE could medically (pharmacologically/clinically) 
be attributed to the IMPs under trial in this clinical trial protocol. 
Abnormal Laboratory Findings and Other Abnormal Investigational Findings
Abnormal laboratory findings and other abnormal investigational findings (for example, on an 
ECG trace) should not be reported as AEs unless they are associated with clinical signs and 
symptoms, lead to treatment discontinuation or are considered otherwise medically important by 
the Investigator. If a laboratory abnormality fulfills these criteria, the identified medical 
condition (for example, anemia, increased ALT) must be reported as the AE rather than the 
abnormal value itself.
Serious Adverse Events
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:
Results in death
Is life-threatening (Note: The term “life-threatening” refers to an event in which the subject is 
at risk of death at the time of the event, not an event that hypothetically might have caused
death if it was more severe.)
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs an existing hospitalization
Results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity
Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect
Is otherwise considered to be medically important. (Note: Important medical events that may 
not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered as SAEs 
when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the subject or may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. 
Examples of such events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an 
emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient 
hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse.).
For the purposes of reporting, any suspected transmission of an infectious agent via an IMP is 
also considered an SAE, as described in Section 7.4.1.4.

Events that Do Not Meet the Definition of an SAE
Elective hospitalizations to administer, or to simplify trial treatment or trial procedures (for 
example, an
overnight stay to facilitate chemotherapy and related intravenous fluid 
administration) are not considered SAEs. However, all events leading to unplanned 
hospitalizations or unplanned prolongation of an elective hospitalization (for example,
undesirable effects of any administered treatment) must be documented and reported as SAEs.
7.4.1.2
Methods of Recording and Assessing Adverse Events
At each trial visit, the subject will be queried on changes in his or her condition. During the 
reporting period, any unfavorable changes in the subject’s condition will be recorded as AEs, 
whether reported by the subject or observed by the Investigator. 
Complete, accurate and consistent data on all AEs experienced for the duration of the reporting 
period (defined below) will be reported on an ongoing basis in the appropriate section of the 
eCRF. All SAEs must be additionally documented and reported using the appropriate Report 
Form as described in Section 7.4.1.4.
It is important that each AE report include a description of the event, its duration (onset and 
resolution dates and times when it is important to assess the time of AE onset relative to the 
recorded treatment administration time), its severity, its causal relationship with the trial 
treatment, any other potential causal factors, any treatment given or other action taken, including 
dose modification or discontinuation of the IMP, and its outcome. In addition, serious cases 
should be identified and the appropriate seriousness criteria documented.
Specific guidance can be found in the eCRF Completion and Monitoring Conventions.
7.4.1.3
Definition of the Adverse Event Reporting Period
The AE reporting period for safety surveillance begins when the subject is initially included in 
the trial (date of first signature of informed consent) and continues until the End of Trial Visit. 
Any SAE assessed as related to the IMPs must be reported whenever it occurs, irrespective of the 
time elapsed since the last administration of IMPs. 
7.4.1.4
Procedure for Reporting Serious Adverse Events, Adverse 
Events of Special Interest and Dose Limiting Toxicities
Serious Adverse Events
In the event of any new SAE occurring during the reporting period, the Investigator must 
immediately (within a maximum of 24 hours after becoming aware of the event) inform the 
Sponsor or its designee in writing. All written reports should be transmitted using the SAE 
Report Form, which must be completed by the Investigator following specific completion 
instructions.

In exceptional circumstances, an SAE (or follow-up information) may be reported by telephone; 
in these cases, a written report must be sent immediately thereafter by fax or e-mail. Names, 
addresses, and telephone and fax numbers for SAE reporting will be included in the trial-specific 
SAE Report Form.
Relevant pages from the eCRF may be provided in parallel (for example, medical history, 
concomitant drugs). Additional documents may be provided by the Investigator, if available (for 
example, laboratory results, hospital report, autopsy report). In all cases, the information 
provided on the SAE Report Form must be consistent with the data about the event recorded in 
the eCRF.
The Investigator must respond to any request for follow-up information (for example, additional 
information, outcome, final evaluation, other records where needed) or to any question the 
Sponsor/designee may have on the AE within the same timelines as those noted above for initial 
reports. This is necessary to ensure prompt assessment of the event by the Sponsor or designee 
and (as applicable) to allow the Sponsor to meet strict regulatory timelines associated with 
expedited safety reporting obligations.
Requests for follow-up will usually be made via the responsible Monitor, although in exceptional 
circumstances the Global Drug Safety department may contact the Investigator directly to obtain 
further information or to discuss the event.
Adverse Events of Special Interest
Healthy subjects might experience asymptomatic elevations in serum lipase and amylase. Any 
elevation in serum lipase and amylase of Grade ≥3 will lead to the recording of an adverse event 
of special interest (AESI). The severity of these AEs should be defined based on clinical 
judgment of the Investigator and defined according to NCI-CTCAE Severity Scale.
7.4.1.5
Safety Reporting to Health Authorities, Independent Ethics 
Committees/ Institutional Review Boards and Investigators
The Sponsor will send appropriate safety notifications to Health Authorities in accordance with 
applicable laws and regulations.
The Investigator must comply with any applicable site-specific requirements related to the 
reporting of SAEs (particularly deaths) involving trial subjects to the IEC that approved the trial.
In accordance with ICH GCP, the Sponsor/designee will inform the Investigator of “findings that 
could adversely affect the safety of subjects, impact the conduct of the trial or alter the IEC’s 
approval/favorable opinion to continue the trial.” In line with respective regulations, the 
Sponsor/designee will inform the Investigator of AEs that are both serious and unexpected and 
are considered to be related to the administered product (“suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions” or SUSARs). The Investigator should place copies of Safety Reports in the

When specifically required by regulations and guidelines, the Sponsor/designee will provide 
appropriate Safety Reports directly to the concerned lead IEC and will maintain records of these 
notifications. When direct reporting is not clearly defined by national or site-specific regulations, 
the Investigator will be responsible for promptly notifying the concerned IEC of any Safety 
Reports provided by the Sponsor/designee and of filing copies of all related correspondence in 
the Investigator Site File.
For trials covered by the European Directive 2001/20/EC, the Sponsor’s responsibilities 
regarding the reporting of SAEs/SUSARs/Safety Issues will be carried out in accordance with 
that Directive and with the related Detailed Guidance documents.
7.4.1.6
Monitoring of Subjects with Adverse Events
AEs are recorded and assessed continuously throughout the trial (see Section 7.4.1.3) and are 
assessed for final outcome at the End of Trial Visit. All AEs ongoing at the End of Trial Visit
must be monitored and followed up by the Investigator until stabilization or until the outcome is 
known, unless the subject is documented as “lost to follow-up”. Reasonable attempts to obtain 
this information must be made and documented. It is also the responsibility of the Investigator to 
ensure that any necessary additional therapeutic measures and follow-up procedures are 
performed. 
7.4.2
Pregnancy and In Utero Drug Exposure 
Only pregnancies considered by the Investigator to be related to trial treatment (for example,
resulting from a drug interaction with a contraceptive medication) are considered to be AEs. 
However, all pregnancies with an estimated conception date during the period defined in Section 
7.4.1.3 must be recorded by convention in the AE page/section of the eCRF. The same rule 
applies to pregnancies in female subjects and to pregnancies in female partners of male subjects. 
The Investigator must notify the Sponsor/designee in an expedited manner of any pregnancy 
using the Pregnancy Report Form, which must be transmitted according to the same process as 
described for SAE reporting in Section 7.4.1.4. 
Investigators must actively follow up, document and report on the outcome of all these 
pregnancies, even if the subjects are withdrawn from the trial.
The Investigator must notify the Sponsor/designee of these outcomes using the Pregnancy Report 
Form. If an abnormal outcome occurs, the SAE Report Form will be used if the subject sustains 
an event and the Parent-Child/Fetus Adverse Event Report Form if the child/fetus sustains an 
event.
Any abnormal outcome must be reported in an expedited manner as described in Section 7.4.1.4, 
while normal outcomes must be reported within 45 days after delivery.
In the event of a pregnancy in a subject occurring during the course of the trial, the subject must 
be discontinued from trial medication immediately. The Sponsor/designee must be notified 
without delay and the subject must be followed as mentioned above.

Clinical Laboratory Assessments
Fasted blood samples and urine samples will be collected for the clinical laboratory tests 
(hematology, biochemistry, virology, drugs of abuse, hormones, and urinalysis, Table 4) 
following the timing noted in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3). 
Additional laboratory safety examinations during the trial are at the discretion of the Investigator. 
All blood and urine samples will be worked up and analyzed in Nuvisan's clinical laboratory. 
Any abnormalities in any of the laboratory parameters will be judged by a physician individually 
in relation to the reference ranges from the laboratory.
For all findings with major deviation and/or possible pathological relevance, follow-up 
examinations will be carried out until the deviation returns to normal or the absence of 
pathological relevance can be confirmed. If a deviation considered clinically relevant has not 
returned to a normal or not clinically relevant value when it is checked during the screening 
laboratory tests, the subject will not be included in the trial.
Laboratory abnormalities considered clinically relevant by the Investigator will be reported as 
AE. The following parameters will be determined as summarized in Table 4.
The Sponsor should receive a list of laboratory normal ranges before shipment of the IMP. Any 
change in laboratory normal ranges during the trial should be forwarded to the Sponsor, 
including laboratory certificates.
For the amount of blood taken in this study see Appendix II.

Vital Signs, Physical Examinations, and Other Assessments
7.4.4.1
Vital Signs
Blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [mmHg] and diastolic blood pressure [mmHg]) will be 
measured according to the oscillometric method using an automated device, which also indicates 
the corresponding pulse rate. Blood pressure and pulse rate will be measured after at least 5 min 
in a supine position, according to the schedule of assessments (Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3).
Body temperature will be measured auricular.
Further vital sign measurements during the course of the trial are at the discretion of the 
Investigator.
7.4.4.2
ECG
Twelve-lead ECGs will be recorded as scheduled in the trial schedule of assessments (Table 1, 
Table 2 and Table 3) using the ECG system (CardioPerfect®, Welch Allyn). The ECGs will be 
recorded in supine position after at least 5 min rest.
ECGs will be plotted with a paper speed of 50 mm/s and 10 mm/mV amplitude, with 10 seconds 
recording duration for all leads and at least 3 complexes, but preferably 5 complexes in each 
lead. 
Per time-point, the ECG will be stored electronically, printed and reviewed in a timely manner 
by the Investigator. The original printout will be stored with the subject’s source data. Electronic 
data may be transferred to a central ECG laboratory for central reading and further analysis; 
these results would be reported separately.
ECG printouts will be signed and dated electronically by the person evaluating the ECG. The 
ECG will be interpreted by the Investigator (normal/abnormal). For abnormal ECGs, the clinical 
significance (yes/no) must be judged by the Investigator and the abnormality is to be specified.
Additional ECGs during the course of the trial are at the discretion of the Investigator.
7.4.4.3
Physical Examination
The physical examination comprises general appearance, skin, head, neck (including thyroid), 
eyes, ears, nose, throat, abdomen, as well as neurological, peripheral vascular, musculoskeletal, 
cardiovascular and pulmonary system.
Physical examination will be scheduled according to the study flow chart (see Table 1, Table 2
and Table 3). Further physical examinations during the course of the trial are at the discretion of 
the Investigator. Any relevant findings are to be recorded on the Medical History form in the 
eCRF (for findings from the past that occurred prior to ICF signature) or on the AE form in the 
eCRF (for findings presently occurring; events existing but unresolved prior to drug 
administration).

7.5
Pharmacokinetics
7.5.1
Blood Sampling
On the PK profiling day, an indwelling venous catheter will be positioned in a suitable forearm 
vein for blood sampling and should be kept, if possible, until at least 24 h after dosing. After 
removing the indwelling venous cannula, samples will be taken by venipuncture. 
Blood samples will be taken and plasma levels of tepotinib and its metabolites MSC2571109A 
and MSC2571107A will be determined as closely as possible to the following time points: 
Treatment A: 
on Day 1 at predose (within 60 min prior to administration of
tepotinib) and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 min, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 h and on 
Day 2 at 24, 36 h, on Day 3 at 48, 60 h, on Day 4 at 72 h, on Day 5 at 
96 h, on Day 6 at 120 h and on Day 7 at 144 h post-dose.
Treatments B and C: 
on Day 5 at predose (within 60 min prior to administration of 
tepotinib) and 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 min, and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 h and on 
Day 6 at 24, 36 h, on Day 7 at 48, 60 h, on Day 8 at 72 h, on Day 9 at 
96 h, on Day 10 at 120 h and on Day 11 at 144 h post-dose
The exact date and time of sample collection must be recorded in the eCRF and will be used in 
the calculation of PK parameters. Blood samples should be taken as close as possible to the 
scheduled time points. Samples taken outside of the time periods shown in Table 5 need an 
explanation and will be considered a protocol violation.

Details of blood sample collection, labeling, processing, storage and shipment requirements will 
be described in a separate laboratory manual. For the amount of blood taken in this study see 
Appendix II.
All sample handling procedures, including the time of each sample collection, the time of 
placement into frozen storage (at the end of the sample preparation), and the date of transfer or 
shipment of the samples to the responsible analyst will be documented in detail. 
Concentrations of tepotinib and its metabolites MSC2571109A and MSC2571107A will be 
measured using validated liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry methods at 
Nuvisan. The assays will be carried out in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice
Regulations and the EMA reflection paper. A separate bioanalytical protocol will be provided 
before the start of the analytical part of the study. Full details of the bioanalytical method used 
will be described in a separate bioanalytical report.
7.5.2
Calculation of Pharmacokinetic Variables
The following non-compartmental PK parameters (see Table 6) will be calculated from the 
individual plasma tepotinib concentration-time data using commercial software such as 
Phoenix®/WinNonlin® (Version 6.2 or higher) at Nuvisan GmbH.

AUC0-t
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero (= dosing time) to the last 
sampling time (tlast) at which the concentration is at or above the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), 
calculated using the mixed log linear trapezoidal rule (ie linear up/log down)
AUC0-∞
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero (= dosing time) extrapolated to 
infinity, calculated as AUC0-t + AUCextra. AUCextra represents the extrapolated part of AUC0-∞
calculated by Clastpred/λz, where Clastpred is the predicted plasma concentration at the last sampling 
time point, calculated from the log-linear regression line for λz determination at which the measured 
plasma concentration is at or above LLOQ

Individual PK parameters will be calculated using actual sampling times. The predose sample 
will be considered as if it had been taken simultaneously with the administration of study drug. 
PK variables will be evaluated and listed for all subjects who provide sufficient concentration-
time data.
Plasma concentrations below LLOQ before the last quantifiable data point will be taken as zero 
for calculating the AUC (ie embedded below the limit of quantitation values set to zero). Plasma 
concentrations below LLOQ after the last quantifiable data point will not be considered for the 
determination of λz.

Pharmacogenomics 
Pharmacogenetic sample collection is optional. An additional separate Informed Consent Form 
(ICF) will be used. One blood sample should be collected in duplicate on Day -1 of Period 1. The 
pharmacogenetic samples will be analyzed conditionally in case of unexpected PK profiles. The 
results of the pharmacogenetic analysis, as applicable, will be described in a separate report.

Statistics
8.1
Sample Size
A total of 12 subjects will be randomized into this study. To obtain at least 12 evaluable subjects 
for the primary endpoint analysis, every drop-out with incomplete data must be replaced.
The statistical analysis of study data will be descriptive; no hypothesis tests will be performed. 
Nevertheless, the relative bioavailability should be estimated with a reasonable precision. 
The half-width of the 90% confidence interval (CI) will be taken as a measure of precision.
The precision for the test/reference ratios (T/R ratio) to be estimated for AUC and Cmax for a 
series of coefficients of variation (CV) and a fixed sample size of 12 subjects is shown in Table 
7. The CVs observed most recently for AUC and Cmax of tepotinib in a relative bioavailability in 
the fed condition study comparing two tepotinib tablet formulations (MS200095-0012) ranged 
between 10% and 13%. An increase in variability up to 20% is expected under fasting 
conditions.
A two-sided alpha = 0.10 was used in the calculations, and the probability of achieving a pre-
defined half-width (precision) was set to 0.80.

Based on these assumptions, the CI half-width for the estimated T/R ratios will be between 9% 
and 18% for both AUC and Cmax. Considering the envisaged therapeutic window of tepotinib, 
this precision is sufficient to meet the study objectives.

Analysis Sets
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined:
Population
Description
Screening
The screening analysis set will include all subjects who provided signed 
informed consent, regardless of treatment status in the trial. This set will 
be used for subject disposition.
Safety
The Safety Analysis Set will include all subjects who have received at 
least 1 dose of planned IMP and have had 1 subsequent safety assessment. 
Subjects will be analyzed according to the actual treatment they receive.
Pharmacokinetic
The PK Analysis Set will consist of all subjects who receive at least one 
dose of IMP, have no clinically important protocol deviations or important 
events affecting PK, and provide at least one measurable postdose
concentration. Subjects will be analyzed according to the actual treatment 
they received. All PK analyses will be based on this analysis set.
Subjects may be excluded after vomiting or following diarrhea in a 
particular period as this could render the plasma concentration-time 
profile unreliable. The use of a concomitant medication that might 
interfere with the PK of any investigational drug could be a reason for 
excluding a subject.

Description of Statistical Analyses
8.5.1
General Considerations
Statistical analyses will be performed using the computer program package SAS® System for 
Windows™ (Version 9.4 or later; SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina, USA).
The results of this trial will be reported using summary tables, figures, and data listings, as 
appropriate. All data will be summarized by treatment and/or scheduled time point, as 
appropriate.
For demographic, baseline and safety assessments, continuous measurements will be 
summarized by means of descriptive statistics (ie number and percentage of observations, 
number and percentage of missing observations, mean, standard deviation [StD], median, 25th 
and 75th percentiles [Q1 and Q3], minimum, and maximum) and categorical data will be 
summarized by means of frequency tables (ie count and percentages), if not stated otherwise.
Concentrations of tepotinib and its metabolites in plasma will be presented in tables and 
descriptively summarized by treatment and nominal time point using n, arithmetic mean, StD, 
standard error of the mean, median, minimum, maximum, and CV%. Values below the LLOQ 
will be taken as zero for descriptive statistics of PK concentrations. Descriptive statistics of PK 
parameters will additionally show the geometric mean (GeoMean), the geometric coefficient of 
variation (GeoCV%), and the 95% CI for the GeoMean.
Missing data will be handled as such and not be replaced by estimates. A subject who withdraws 
prior to the last planned observation in a trial period will be included in the analyses up to the 
time of discontinuation.
Changes in the conduct of the trial or planned analyses, if any, will be reported in the appropriate 
section of the statistical analysis plan (SAP) and in the clinical trial report.
8.5.2
Analysis of Primary Endpoint
A linear model with TREATMENT, PERIOD, SEQUENCE and SUBJECT(SEQUENCE) as 
fixed effects will be applied to log-transformed PK parameters Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞based 
on the PK analysis set. Treatment differences C-A and C-B on the log scale will be estimated for 
Cmax, AUC0-t, and AUC0-∞together with their 90% CIs. Point estimates and CIs will be 
back-transformed to the original scale. 
The relative bioavailabilities C/A and C/B will be calculated for each subject and summarized.
Graphical displays will be given, where appropriate. Details of the statistical analysis will be 
described in the SAP.

subjects experiencing at least 1 TEAE will be summarized by treatment as well as the number of 
events. Tables by relationship to trial drug and by severity will be generated. AEs will be coded 
using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities terminology. 
All laboratory data will be reported with SI units. Laboratory parameters will be summarized 
using descriptive statistics for absolute values and change from baseline over time, by postdose
shifts relative to baseline, and data listings of abnormalities as per NCI-CTCAE severity scale.
Vital signs and ECG data will be summarized by changes-from-baseline values by treatment 
using descriptive statistics. Clinical noteworthy ECG findings for individual subjects will be

9.2
Subject Information and Informed Consent
An unconditional prerequisite for each subject prior to participation in the trial is written 
informed consent, which must be given before any trial-related activities are carried out.
Adequate information must therefore be given to the subject by the Investigator before informed 
consent is obtained. 
A subject information sheet must be prepared in the local language in accordance with ICH GCP
and will be provided by the Sponsor for the purpose of obtaining informed consent. In addition 
to providing this written information to a potential subject, the Investigator or a designate will 
inform the subject verbally of all pertinent aspects of the trial, using language chosen so that the 
information can be fully and readily understood by laypersons. The subject will be given 
sufficient time to read the information and the opportunity to ask questions and to request 
additional information and clarification.
After the information is provided by the Investigator, the Informed Consent Form must be signed 
and dated by the subject and the Investigator. 
The signed and dated declaration of informed consent will remain at the Investigator’s site, and 
must be safely archived so that the forms can be retrieved at any time for monitoring, auditing 
and inspection purposes. A copy of the signed and dated information and Informed Consent 
Form should be provided to the subject prior to participation.
Whenever important new information becomes available that may be relevant to informed
consent, the Investigator will revise the subject information sheet and any other written 
information to be provided to the subjects and submit them to the IEC for review and opinion. 
Using the approved revised subject information sheet and other written information, the 
Investigator will explain the changes to the previous version to each trial subject and obtain new
written consent for continued participation in the trial. The subject will be given sufficient time 
to read the information and the opportunity to ask questions and to request additional information 
and clarification about the changes.
A separate subject information and Informed Consent Form will be prepared and signed by the 
subjects for pharmacogenomic examination. 
9.3
Subject Identification and Privacy
A unique number will be assigned to each subject, immediately after informed consent has been 
obtained. This number will serve as the subject’s identifier in the trial as well as in the clinical 
trial database. All subject data collected in the trial will be stored under the appropriate subject
number. Only the Investigator will be able to link trial data to an individual subject via an 
identification list kept at the site. For each subject, original medical data will be accessible for 
the purposes of source data verification by the Monitor, audits and regulatory inspections, but 
subject confidentiality will be strictly maintained.

Data protection and privacy regulations will be observed in capturing, forwarding, processing, 
and storing subject data. Subjects will be informed accordingly, and will be requested to give 
their consent on data handling procedures in accordance with national regulations.
9.4
Emergency Medical Support and Subject Card
Subjects will be provided with Emergency Medical Support cards supplied by Nuvisan GmbH 
for use during trial participation in order to provide clinical trial subjects with a way of 
identifying themselves as participating in a clinical trial and to give health care providers access 
to any information about this participation that may be needed to determine the course of 
medical treatment for the subject.
The first point of contact for all emergencies will be the clinical trial Investigator caring for the 
affected subject. The Investigator agrees to provide his or her emergency contact information on 
the card for this purpose. If the Investigator is available when an event occurs, he will answer 
any questions. Any subsequent action will follow the standard process established for 
Investigators.
In cases where the Investigator is not available, the Phase I facility will provide the appropriate 
means to contact a physician. This includes the provision of a 24 h contact number at the facility, 
whereby the health care providers will be given access to an appropriate physician to assist with 
the medical emergency.
9.5
Clinical Trial Insurance and Compensation to Subjects
Insurance coverage will be provided for the trial. Insurance conditions will meet good local 
standards, as applicable.
9.6
Independent Ethics Committee 
Prior to commencement of the trial, this clinical trial protocol will be submitted together with its 
associated documents (for example, Informed Consent Form, insurance certificate) to the 
responsible IEC for its favorable opinion or approval, which will be filed in the Investigator Site 
File. A copy will be filed in the Sponsor Trial Master File.
The IEC will document the date at which the favorable opinion or approval was given. A 
members list of the IEC will be provided. Written evidence of favorable opinion or approval that 
clearly identifies the clinical trial protocol version and the Subject Information and Informed 
Consent Form version reviewed will be provided. Where possible, copies of the meeting minutes 
should be obtained.
Amendments to this clinical trial protocol will also be submitted to the concerned IEC, before 
implementation of substantial changes (see Section 10.5). Relevant safety information will be 
submitted to the IEC during the course of the trial in accordance with national regulations and 
requirements.

Trial Management
10.1
Case Report Form Handling
Refer to the Manual of Operations for eCRF handling guidelines. 
The main purpose of the eCRF is to obtain data required by the clinical trial protocol in a 
complete, accurate, legible and timely manner. The data in the eCRF should be consistent with 
the relevant source documents.
The Investigator or designee is responsible for ensuring that the data collected in the course of 
this trial is accurate and documented. They will then be processed, evaluated, and stored in 
anonymous form in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. The Investigator
must ensure that the eCRFs and any other associated documents forwarded to data management
contain no mention of any subject names.
The data will be entered into a validated database. Nuvisan GmbH will be responsible for data 
processing, in accordance with the Sponsor’s data management procedures. Database lock will 
occur once quality control and quality assurance procedures have been completed. PDF files of 
the eCRFs will be provided to the Investigators at the completion of the trial.
10.2
Source Data and Subject Files
The Investigator must keep a file (medical file, original medical records) on paper or 
electronically for every subject in the trial. It must be possible to identify each subject by using 
this subject file. This file will contain the demographic and medical information for the subject
listed below and should be as complete as possible. 

Subject’s full name, date of birth, sex, height, weight

Medical history and concomitant diseases

Prior and concomitant therapies (including changes during the trial)

Trial identification, that is, the Sponsor trial number for this clinical trial, and subject’s
screening number

Dates for entry into the trial (informed consent) and visits to the site

Any medical examinations and clinical findings predefined in this clinical trial protocol


Date that the subject left the trial including any reason for early withdrawal from the trial 
or IMP (if applicable).
All documents containing source data must be filed, including, but not limited to ECG 
recordings, and laboratory results. Such documents must bear the subject’s screening number and 
the date of the procedure. If possible, this information should be printed by the instrument used 
to perform the assessment or measurement. As necessary, medical evaluation of such records 
should be performed; all evaluations should be documented, signed, and dated by the 
Investigator.
Electronic subject files will be printed whenever the Monitor performs source data verification. 
Printouts must be signed and dated by the Investigator, countersigned by the Monitor and kept in 
a safe place at the site.
10.3
Investigator Site File and Archiving
Upon initiation of the trial, the Investigator will be provided with an Investigator Site File 
containing all necessary trial documents, which will be completed throughout the trial and 
updated as necessary. The file must be available for review by the Monitor, during Sponsor 
audits and for inspection by Health Authorities during and after the trial, and must be safely 
archived for at least 15 years after the end of the trial. 
The documents to be archived include the Subject Identification List and the signed subject 
Informed Consent Forms. If archiving of the Investigator Site File is no longer possible at the 
site, the Investigator must notify the Sponsor/designee.
All original subject files (medical records) must be stored at the site (hospital, research institute, 
or practice) for the longest possible time permitted by the applicable regulations, and/or as per 
ICH GCP guidelines, whichever is longer. In any case, the Investigator should ensure that no 
destruction of medical records is performed without the written approval of the Sponsor.
10.4
Monitoring, Quality Assurance and Inspection by Health 
Authorities
This trial will be monitored in accordance with the ICH GCP and any other applicable 
regulations. The site Monitor will perform visits to the trial site at regular intervals.
The clinical trial protocol, each step of the data capture procedure, and the handling of the data, 
including the final clinical trial report, will be subject to independent Quality Assurance 
activities. Audits may be conducted at any time during or after the trial to ensure the validity and 
integrity of the trial data. Representatives of the Quality Assurance unit from the Sponsor or a 
designated organization, as well as Health Authorities, must be permitted to access all trial
documents and other materials at the site, including the Investigator Site File, the completed 
eCRFs, all IMPs and IMP accountability records, and the original medical records or files for 
each subject.

10.5
Changes to the Clinical Trial Protocol
Changes to the clinical trial protocol will be documented in writing. Substantive amendments 
will usually require submission to the Health Authorities and to the relevant IEC for approval or 
favorable opinion. In such cases, the amendment will be implemented only after approval or 
favorable opinion has been obtained.
Minor (non-substantial) protocol amendments, including administrative changes, will be filed by 
the Sponsor and at the site. They will be submitted to the relevant IEC or to Health Authorities 
only where requested by pertinent regulations. Any amendment that could affect the subject’s 
agreement to participate in the trial requires additional informed consent prior to implementation 
following the process as described in Section 9.2.
10.6
Clinical Trial Report and Publication Policy
10.6.1
Clinical Trial Report
After completion of the trial, a clinical trial report will be written by Nuvisan GmbH following 
the guidance in ICH Topic E3 [8].
10.6.2
Publication
The first publication will include the results of the analysis of the primary endpoints. The results 
of this study may be published or presented at scientific meetings. If this is foreseen, the 
Investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to the Sponsor before submission. This 
allows Merck to protect proprietary information and to provide comments. 
The Sponsor will comply with the requirements for publication of study results. 
Posting of data on ClinicalTrials.gov and EU Clinical Trials Register (EudraCT) is planned and 
will occur 12 months after the last clinic visit of the final trial subject or another appropriate date 
to meet applicable requirements.

Contraception Guidance
Definitions
Woman of Childbearing Potential 
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless 
permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral 
salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy.
Women in the following categories are not considered women of childbearing potential
1.
Premenopausal female with 1 of the following:
Documented hysterectomy
Documented bilateral salpingectomy
Documented bilateral oophorectomy
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s: review of participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview.
2.
Premenarchal
3.
Postmenopausal female
Females who are postmenopausal (age-related amenorrhea ≥12 consecutive months and 
increased follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] > 40 mIU/mL), or who have undergone 
documented hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy are 
exempt from pregnancy testing. If necessary to confirm postmenopausal status, FSH 
will be re-tested at Screening.
Females on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and whose menopausal status is in 
doubt will be required to use one of the non-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.

Contraceptive Guidance for Women of Childbearing Potential:
Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods That Are User Dependent
Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly. 

Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulation b

oral 

intravaginal 

transdermal 

Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation b

oral 

injectable 
Highly Effective Methods That Are User Independent

Implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation b

Intrauterine device (IUD)

Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)

bilateral tubal occlusion

Vasectomized partner 
(A vasectomized partner is a highly effective contraception method provided that the partner is the sole male 
sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an 
additional highly effective method of contraception should be used. 
NOTES: 
a) Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use should be consistent 
with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants participating in clinical studies. 
b) Hormonal contraception may be susceptible to interaction with the study drug, which may reduce the efficacy 
of the contraceptive method. In this case another highly effective (not hormone based) method of contraception 
must be utilized during the treatment period and for at least 3 months after the last dose of study treatment
