STUDY DESIGN AND DURATION: Phase 3b, single arm, single site simplification study of HIV-1 
infected patients with virological suppression under the combination of 3TC (150 mg BID) plus 
Raltegravir (400 mg BID) switching to 3TC (300 mg QD) plus Raltegravir (1200 mg QD): Roll-over study 
of the RALAM clinical trial (NCT02284035) 
The study treatment period will be 48 weeks. 
SAMPLE SIZE: A total of 50 patients, 18 years or older, will be included in the study. 
TREATMENTS, DOSE, POSOLOGY: 
Raltegravir + 3TC 
 
DOSE: RAL + 3TC (1200mg+300mg) 
 
POSOLOGY: QD 2 pills 600 mg Raltegravir and 1 pill 300 mg Lamivudine 
 
EFFICACY MEASUREMENTS: Plasma viral load (HIV-RNA) will be measured at weeks 0, 24 and 48. 
 
SAFETY ASSESSMENTS: At each visit, a physical examination and a blood test will be performed. 
 
DATA ANALYSIS: All patients will be included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. The per protocol 
population will include all patients from the ITT population except those who did not fulfil the 
inclusion/exclusion criteria or withdrawing from the study or discontinuing study treatment for reasons 
other than virological failure or adverse event. 
STATICAL METHODS: The primary variable, therapeutic failure at week 48, includes virological failure, 
change in treatment for any reason, consent withdrawal, loss to follow-up or death. It will be analysed 
also at 24 weeks. 
Virological failure is defined as two consecutive measurements of plasma viral load above 50 copies/ml 
separated at least by 2 weeks during the assigned treatment, using the FDA snapshot method. It will be 
assessed at 24 and 48 weeks. 
The following items will be described and compared between arms at each post baseline time point as 
well as the change versus baseline values in: 
• 
Laboratory parameters including CD4 cells, hematology, lipid profile, creatinine (and estimated 
glomerular filtration rate, CKD-EPI), urinary protein/creatinin, and vitamin D levels 
• 
Body fat distribution 
 
• 
Spine/femur bone mineral density

Descriptive analyses will be performed for those treatment-emergent adverse events (that means 
starting after baseline visit), for the possibly or probably related to the study drug treatment-emergent 
adverse events and for serious adverse event. A table will be performed with the proportion of patients 
reporting at least one adverse event described previously. 
 
 
SAMPLE SIZE: RALAM switch arm has included 50 patients. We expect that at least 90% of the patients 
(n=45) will accept participating into this roll-over study with a maximum of 50 patients. 
 
 
DSMB will review the data if 4 episodes of treatment failure are detected and subsequently every 4 new 
episodes of treatment failure. Study will be interrupted as soon as 5 episodes (10%) of confirmed 
virological failure are detected.

Rationale 
Antiretroviral drugs have improved over time, becoming more effective, simpler and better tolerated. 
However, for some patients current ART may still be challenging. Patients living longer with HIV infection 
may develop comorbidities as they get older that may be negatively influenced by some antiretrovirals 
(e.g. cardiovascular ischemic events with abacavir, bone fractures with tenofovir, etc) and these 
comorbidities require them to take additional medications that may increase the risk of significant 
interactions with some antiretrovirals (mainly, ritonavir and cobicistat boosters with many agents 
metabolized through cytochrome P450, but also rilpivirine with omeprazole or dolutegravir with 
metformin, among others). Despite better tolerability, some patients may experience direct toxicities with 
contemporary antiretrovirals (e.g. digestive and metabolic with boosted protease inhibitors, renal and 
bone with tenofovir, etc.). Standard antiretroviral therapy contains three drugs, but decreasing the 
number of antiretrovirals represents a strategy aimed to avoid the negative impact of drug exposure. 
RALAM-Roll Over study is a phase 3b, single arm, single site simplification study of HIV-1 infected 
patients with virological suppression under the combination of 3TC (150 mg BID) plus Raltegravir (400 
mg BID) switching to 3TC (300 mg QD) plus Raltegravir (1200 mg QD) : Roll-over study of the RALAM 
clinical trial (NCT02284035) 
RALAM study was a 24-week open-label randomized study in which virologically suppressed HIV- 
infected patients under combination antiretroviral therapy were switched to Dutrebis® (fixed-dose 
combination of 3TC/Raltegravir) (switch arm, n=50) or maintained under the same therapy (control arm, 
n=25). The trial ended the 28th of February 2017. As Dutrebis® is not clinically available, patients from 
the switch arm after completion of the 24 weeks have been offered to keep the same regimen in the 
commercially available forms of 3TC 150 mg BID plus Raltegravir 400 mg BID. 
By March 2017, all patients of the RALAM patients have finished the 24 weeks of the trial follow-up. 
There have been no virological failures in the switch arm, while there has been 1 virological failure in the 
control arm. All patients in the switch arm have remained virologically suppressed and have not had any 
major adverse effects. Patients in the switch arm have been offered to maintain the combination of 3TC 
(150 mg BID) plus Raltegravir (400 mg BID) and all of them have accepted which allows for a unique 
cohort of patients on dual therapy with 3TC plus Raltegravir. 
A new, more convenient formulation of Raltegravir QD has become available. Raltegravir QD 
development has been exclusively focused to antiretroviral-naïve patients. Therefore, it will be of 
paramount importance to have data of the new Raltegravir QD formulation in antiretroviral-experienced 
patients. Because of the uniqueness of the RALAM study arm cohort, this will be an excellent opportunity 
to have preliminary data on efficacy, tolerability, and satisfaction of the new Raltegravir QD as well as 
longer follow-up data on the dual therapy strategy.

Summary of known and potential risks and benefits 
The potential risks of a clinical trial with drugs include the possible occurrence of adverse events 
attributable to the study drugs. However, this simplification study does not add a new drug but withdraws 
or not one of them from the current regimen, and therefore an increase in potential toxicity is not 
expected. 
 
The risk of virological failure in patients with inclusion criteria similar to those in the study who are 
switched to dual therapy are subjected is actually very small, similar to that expected with triple standard 
combinations (references 8 y 9). In addition, virological monitoring in this study will be more frequent 
than in clinical practice and the results of HIV RNA measurements in plasma will be available one or two 
days after blood sampling. 
 
The reduction in the number of drugs could be associated with improved tolerability and less toxicity, as 
well as improved treatment compliance, which could result in superior effectiveness. 
 
 
Route of administration, dose, dosing regimen and treatment period 
It is a single arm study: 
 
 
(Raltegravir+3TC) (1200 mg+300mg) one daily 
 
it will be administered orally two 600 mg film-coated tablets of Raltegravir and one 300 mg 
film-coated tablet of Lamivudine according to instructions in the prescribing information. 
 
The study treatment period will be 48 weeks. 
 
Concomitant, rescue and nonpermitted medication 
Concomitant medication 
Any concomitant medication used during the study will be duly recorded in case report form for that 
purpose. The data to be recorded will be the name of the drug, dose, and date of dosing as well as the 
reason or indication for administration. 
 
Rescue medication 
Rescue medication will be at the investigator's discretion. 
 
Nonpermitted medication 
Investigational drugs.

Efficacy Assessment 
 
Selection/baseline visit 
For patient’s convenience, selection and baseline will be done in the same visit. The visit will be 
performed at Week 0. 
At this visit, the principal investigator or designated collaborator will assess and confirm the eligibility of 
the patient, and will obtain written informed consent from each patient before tests and assessments 
specific to the protocol are started. 
Women of childbearing age will undergo a pregnancy rest (urine test) and will only be able to participate 
in the study if they obtain a negative result. 
During the visit, a complete physical exam will be performed, and adequate samples for measurement 
of viral load, ultrasensible viral load, HIV-1 reservoir in peripheral mononuclear blood cells, CD4 cells, 
HLA-DR and CD38 cells and laboratory tests (including hematology, biochemistry, lipid profile, creatinine 
(and estimated glomerular filtration rate, CKD-EPI), urine protein/creatinin ratio and beta-2- 
microglobulin, and vitamin D levels) will be taken. 
In addition, the following tests will be done: 
 
1. DXA examination to determine body composition and spine/femur bone density. 
 
2. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep quality 
 
3. Quality of Life 
assessment 
through EQ-5D-5L 
(http://www.euroqol.org/eq-5d- 
products/eq-5d-5l.html) 
 
During the baseline visit, a plasma sample will be taken and stored frozen for potential future 
determination of biomarkers of inflammation (IL-6, high sensitivity C-reactive protein), biomarkers of 
mononuclear activation SD-14 and SD-163, and reservoirs. 
 
Follow-up visits 
Patients will return to the center at weeks 24 and 48 of the study. 
 
At each follow-up visit, a complete physical examination and laboratory tests (including plasma HIV RNA, 
CD4 cells, hematology, biochemistry, lipid profile, creatinine (and estimated glomerular filtration rate, 
CKD-EPI), urine protein/creatinin ratio and beta-2-microglobulin, and vitamin D levels) will be performed. 
Also, at each follow-up visit, tolerability of antiretroviral therapy and the presence of potential adverse 
events will be assessed. 
At the 48-week visit, measurement of ultrasensible viral load, HIV-1 reservoir in peripheral mononuclear 
blood cells, HLA-DR and CD38 cells will be also performed. In addition, DXA examination to determine 
body composition and spine/femur bone density, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep quality, 
and Quality of Life assessment through EQ-5D-5L will be also performed. Futhermore, a plasma 
sample will be taken and stored frozen for determination of

biomarkers of inflammation (IL-6, high sensitivity C-reactive protein) and biomarkers of mononuclear 
activation SD-14 and SD-163. 
If a patient has a result of a plasma viral load above 50 copies/mL, the patient will return to the center to 
repeat the test within 2 weeks. If viral load remains above 50 copies/mL the patient will be considered 
to have had a virological failure and a plasma sample will be collected for genotyping resistance test. 
The investigator will freely decide the most appropriate therapeutic option. Any change in antiretroviral 
therapy must be recorded in the case report form. 
All patients will continue follow-up according to the protocol during 48 weeks foreseen in the study 
timetable. 
The clinical trial will be conducted in accordance with the principles contained in the Declaration of 
Helsinki, ICH/GCP Guidelines, and according to applicable regulations (EU Clinical Trial Directive and 
Royal Decree 223/2004) and local regulations. The study will be started once approval from the 
reference EC, authorization from the Spanish Regulatory Agency, and approval by the Director of each 
participating Institution are obtained. 
 
Stored samples 
During the baseline visit and week 48 visits, a plasma sample will be taken and stored frozen for 
determination of biomarkers of inflammation (IL-6, high sensitivity C-reactive protein). In addition, a 
PBMC sample will be taken and stored frozen for determination of biomarkers of mononuclear activation 
SD-14 and SD-163 and immunology (CD38 and HLA-DR). 
If a patient experiences a plasma viral load above 50 copies/mL, the patient will need to repeat the test 
within 2 weeks. If viral load remains above 50 copies/mL the patient will be considered a virological 
failure: Genotypic resistance tests will be done in this case. 
The investigator will freely decide the most appropriate therapeutic option. Any change in antiretroviral 
therapy must be recorded in the case report form. 
All patients will continue follow-up according to the protocol during 48 weeks as planned in the study 
timetable.

Safety Assessment 
The investigator is responsible for detecting and documenting any event that meets the criteria and 
definitions of adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) per this protocol. 
During the conduct of the study, the presence of adverse events, whether or nonserious, will be verified 
according to the adverse event definitions given in this section. 
 
Definitions 
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward occurrence to the health of a patient or clinical trial subject 
treated with a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this 
treatment. It may be a new concomitant disease, a worsening of a concomitant disease, an injury, or 
any concomitant deterioration in the patient's health status, including laboratory values, regardless of 
etiology. Any medical condition that was present before the study treatment and that remains unchanged 
or improves should not be considered or recorded as an AE. A worsening of that medical condition will 
be considered as an AE. 
An adverse reaction (AR) is any noxious and unintended reaction to an investigational drug, regardless 
of the dose administered. 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any adverse event that, at any dose, results in death, is life- 
threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization of the subject, causes persistent or significant disability 
or incapacity, or gives rise to a congenital anomaly or birth defect. Life-threatening is defined as the 
situation in which, in the opinion of physician, the patient would have died if it had not been for a timely 
therapeutic intervention. 
For reporting purposes, any suspected adverse events considered medically important will be classified 
as serious even if they do not meet the above criteria. Medically important events are defined as those 
events that may not be immediately life-threatening or cause death, hospitalization, or disability, but may 
jeopardize the patient or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes 
listed above. Examples of such events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment at 
an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions not requiring hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse. 
 
Medical and scientific judgment should be used to decide if other situations that have resulted in one of 
the outcomes listed in the above definitions should be reported as a SAE. 
Hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization are a criterion for considering that an AE is 
serious. Only admission when the patient stays overnight in the hospital should be considered 
hospitalization. The following situations do not meet the criteria for a SAE: 


Protocol

EudraCT No. 2017-000986-60 
27 
Protocol version 1.2, dated 04 May 2017 
 
 
• 
if hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization is required for completing a procedure 
required by the protocol (for instance day or night visits are performed for biopsies or surgery 
required by the protocol). 
• 
if hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization is part of the routine procedure at the site 
(such as withdrawal of a stent after surgery) 
• 
if hospitalization was scheduled prior to patient entry in the study 
 
• 
if hospitalization was scheduled for a preexisting condition that has not Worsened 
An unexpected adverse reaction (UAR) is defined as any adverse reaction whose nature or severity 
is not consistent with product information (e.g., Investigator’s Brochure for an unapproved investigational 
drug or the summary of product characteristics for an approved medicinal product). A suspected 
unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR) is an adverse reaction 
that is both serious and unexpected. 
 
Attributability criteria 
The causal relationship of the investigational product to the occurrence of the AE/SAE will be established 
based on a clinical judgment. For this, other causes will be considered and studied, such as the natural 
history of underlying diseases, concomitant treatment, other risk factors, and temporal relationship of 
the event to the investigational product. In addition, the summary of product characteristics of the 
products will be reviewed. 
To analyze the possible cause-effect relationship, the temporal relationship between drug administration 
and the AE, possible alternative explanations, the outcome (complete remission, partial recovery, death, 
sequelae, persistence), persistence or not after discontinuation of the study drug, recurrence on drug 
rechallenge, or previous knowledge of the event consistent with the known or expected pattern of 
response to the study drug will be considered. 
The causal relationship of an AE to the study drug will be described according to the following definitions: 
Unlikely related: The adverse event does not occur after a plausible temporal sequence from 
administration of the study product and/or can be reasonably explained by other factors such as the 
patient's clinical state, toxic or environmental factors, or other concomitant therapies. In addition, it does 
not follow the known or expected pattern of response to the drug. 
Possible relationship: The adverse event occurs after a plausible temporal sequence from 
administration of the study product, but can also be explained by the patient's clinical state, toxic or 
environmental factors, or other concomitant therapies. In addition, it does not follow the known or 
expected pattern of response to the drug. 
Probable relationship: The adverse event occurs after a plausible temporal sequence from 
administration of the study product, cannot be reasonably explained by the patient's clinical state, toxic 
or environmental factors, or other concomitant therapies, and after withdrawal or dose reduction of the 


Protocol 
RALAM-Roll Over 
EudraCT No. 2017-000986-60 
28 
Protocol version 1.2, dated 04 May 2017 
 
 
suspect drug, the event follows a logical clinical sequence. In addition, it follows the known or expected 
pattern of response to the drug. 
Clear relationship: The adverse event occurs after a plausible temporal sequence from administration 
of study product, cannot be reasonably explained by the patient's clinical state, toxic or environmental 
factors or other concomitant therapies, after withdrawal or dose reduction of the suspect drug, the event 
follows a logical clinical sequence, and the adverse event recurs after reintroduction of the suspect drug. 
In addition, it follows the known or expected pattern of response to the drug. 
No relationship: The adverse event is clearly due to causes unrelated to the study drug, and the criteria 
for another causal relationship are not met. 
Nonassessable relationship: Any report suggesting an adverse effect which cannot be judged 
because the information is insufficient or contradictory, and which cannot be supplemented or verified. 
 
Adverse events detection and recording 
AEs will be recorded at each visit based on careful clinical observation of the patient, laboratory tests, 
spontaneous reports by the patient and also by open-ended questioning by the investigator. 
All AEs (serious or not) occurring during the study must be noted in the medical history and recorded in 
the CRF. The investigator will also decide whether the adverse event is, based on his/her judgment, 
related or not to the study drug—this decision should also be noted in the medical history and CRF. 
At each visit, all AEs experienced by the patient since the previous visit should be recorded in the specific 
adverse event form of the CRF. 
The following will be recorded for each event: description, severity (grade 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), duration (start 
and end dates), causal relationship with the drug (according to the previously attributability criteria) and 
study drug(s) for which this causal relationship is suspected, need for treatment (if applicable) or the 
actions taken, possible alternative explanations, predisposing factors, and outcome. For a preexisting 
AE that has worsened in terms of severity or frequency, the meaning of the change should be specified. 
The degree of severity of an adverse event provides a qualitative assessment of the extent or intensity 
of an adverse event elicited by the investigator or reported by the patient. Severity does not reflect the 
clinical seriousness of the event, only the grade or extent of the complaint or incidence. 
The severity of an AE will be rated based on the Division of AIDS toxicity table. 
 
Procedures for expedited reporting of serious adverse events by the investigator 
The principal investigator will report immediately to the Coordinating Center all serious adverse events 
regardless of their degree of causal relationship with the study drug. All SAEs occurring from signing of 
informed consent and up to 30 days after receiving the last dose of the study drug should be reported. 
The initial report of SAE should be written and as complete as possible including details of the current 
disease and SAE and assessment of the causal relationship between the AE and the investigational

product. Reporting will be made using the Serious Adverse Event Report Form within 24 hours from 
first knowledge by the investigator, completing all information on the form in the following two days. 
The information missing at the time of the initial report must be reported in the SAE 
follow-up form. 
For SAEs, the investigator will provide the Coordinating Center with all documentation related to the 
event (additional laboratory tests, discharge reports, etc.). 
The investigator must also follow up SAEs and similarly report information related to the event until it 
has subsided, returned to baseline, can be attributed to products other than the study medication or to 
factors unrelated to conduct of the study, it is unlikely to obtain additional information, or in case of 
permanent impairment, until the condition stabilizes. 
In the event of death, the investigator must provide the sponsor and/or Coordinating Center, the Ethics 
Committee (EC) involved, and the relevant regulatory authorities with all additional information requested 
by them. 
 
Procedures for expedited reporting of serious and unexpected adverse reactions by the sponsor 
The study sponsor will report any events that are serious and unexpected that may be related to the 
investigational products (i.e., suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions, SUSARs) to the Spanish 
Regulatory Agency, the competent bodies of the Autonomous Communities involved (the communities 
in whose territory the trial is being conducted) and to the EC involved (EC of the site where the SUSAR 
occurred). 
These reports will also be communicated simultaneously to the Pharmacovigilance responsibles at MSD 
within the 24 hr of uncknowledgement of the SAE in order to have the affiliate reporting it internally to its 
headquarters. Reporting will be made using Suspected Adverse Reaction Report Form. 
The maximum deadline for reporting will be 15 calendar days from the time the sponsor is aware of the 
SUSAR. For SUSARs causing death or that are lifethreatening for the subject, the maximum reporting 
time will be 7 calendar days from the time the sponsor is aware of them. This information will be 
completed, when possible, in the following 8 days. 
Information on adverse events that are not serious or unexpected and on those considered unrelated to 
the study treatment will be collected in tabular form at the end of the clinical trial or at the time of interim 
analyses when these are planned. The Coordinating Center will keep a record of all AEs reported by 
investigators. These records will be submitted to the Spanish Regulatory Agency when requested. 
 
Follow-up of adverse events 
The investigator must also follow up SAEs and similarly report information related to the event until it 
has subsided, returned to baseline, can be attributed to products other than the study medication or to

factors unrelated to conduct of the study, it is unlikely to obtain additional information, or in case of 
permanent impairment, until the condition stabilizes. 
Although not considered an adverse event, it is the responsibility of the investigator and his/her 
coinvestigators to report immediately any pregnancy or suspected pregnancy (including positive 
pregnancy tests regardless of age) occurring during the study or within 28 days after the end of the 
study.

Statistics 
 
Methods 
The statistical analysis will be performed by the statistician of Infectious Disease and HIV Unit using 
Stata version 14.0. 
Assignment of patients to subsets and identification of protocol, violations will be reviewed and approved 
before the statistical analysis. 
 
Variables/Time Points of Interest 
The primary variable, therapeutic failure at week 48, includes virological failure, change in treatment for 
any reason, consent withdrawal, loss to follow-up or death. It will be analysed also at 24 weeks. 
Virological failure is defined as two consecutive measurements of plasma viral load above 50 copies/ml 
separated at least by 2 weeks during the assigned treatment, using the FDA snapshot method. It will be 
assessed at 24 and 48 weeks. 
The following items will be described and compared between arms at each post baseline time point as 
well as the change versus baseline values in: 
• 
Laboratory parameters including CD4 cells, hematology, lipid profile, creatinine (and estimated 
glomerular filtration rate, CKD-EPI), urinary protein/creatinin, and vitamin D levels 
• 
Body fat distribution 
• 
Spine/femur bone mineral density 
• 
QoL (EQ-5D-5L) 
• 
Biomarkers of inflammation (IL-6, high sensitivity C-reactive protein) and biomarkers of 
mononuclear activation SD-14 and SD-163 
• 
HIV Reservoir 
Descriptive analyses will be performed for those treatment-emergent adverse events (that means 
starting after baseline visit), for the possibly or probably related to the study drug treatment-emergent 
adverse events and for serious adverse event. A table will be performed with the proportion of patients 
reporting at least one adverse event described previously. 
 
Sample size 
RALAM switch arm has included 50 patients. We expect that at least 90% of the patients (n=45) will 
accept participating into this roll-over study. 
 
.Statistical significance and adjustments for multiplicity 
In all cases, all tests will be performed with a two-sided type I error of 5%. For the primary endpoint, 
adjustment is not necessary to preserve the type I error. 
 
Criteria for discontinuation 
The study will be completed when these two premises are met:

Inclusion of the number of patients needed for the sample size in each randomized group 
• 
End of clinical monitoring 
No interim analyses are planned. 
 
Management of missing data 
In case of missing values, the Last Observation Carried forward (LOCF) method will be used. 
 
Deviations from statistical plan 
A statistical analysis plan will be prepared during the course of the study and before closing the database 
and unblinding which will describe in detail the statistical methods to be used, the approach to be 
followed in case of missing values and the tables and charts to be included in the statistical report. In 
addition, a data blind review will be made to define the subjects who will enter each study population. 
Any deviation from the original statistical plan must be reported and justified in the final report, if 
necessary. 
 
Analysis population 
All patients will be included in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. The per protocol population will include 
all patients from the ITT population except those who did not fulfil the inclusion/exclusion criteria or 
withdrawing from the study or discontinuing study treatment for reasons other than virological failure or 
adverse event. 
 
DSMB 
DSMB will review the data if 4 episodes of treatment failure are detected and subsequently every 4 new 
episodes of treatment failure. Study will be interrupted as soon as 5 episodes (10%) of confirmed 
virological failure are detected.

WORLD MEDICAL ASSOCIATION DECLARATION OF 
HELSINKI 
Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human 
Subjects 
 
Adopted by the 18th WMA General Assembly 
Helsinki, Finland, June 1964 
and amended by the 
29th WMA General Assembly, 
Tokyo, Japan, October 1975 
35th WMA General Assembly, Venice, Italy, October 1983 
41st WMA General Assembly, Hong Kong, September 1989 
48th WMA General Assembly, Somerset West, Republic of South Africa, October 1996 
and the 
52nd 
WMA General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000 
Note of Clarification on Paragraph 29 added 
by the WMA General Assembly, Washington 2002 
 
A. INTRODUCTION 
1. The World Medical Association has developed the Declaration of Helsinki as a statement of ethical 
principles to provide guidance to physicians and other participants in medical research involving 
human subjects. Medical research involving human subjects includes research on identifiable human 
material or identifiable data. 
2. It is the duty of the physician to promote and safeguard the health of the people. The physician’s 
knowledge and conscience are dedicated to the fulfillment of this duty. 
3. The Declaration of Geneva of the World Medical Association binds the physician with the words, 
"The health of my patient will be my first consideration," and the International Code of Medical Ethics 
declares that, "A physician shall act only in the patient's interest when providing medical care which 
might have the effect of weakening the physical and mental condition of the patient." 
4. Medical progress is based on research which ultimately must rest in part on experimentation 
involving human subjects. 
5. In medical research on human subjects, considerations related to the well-being of the human 
subject should take precedence over the interests of science and society. 
6. The primary purpose of medical research involving human subjects is to improve prophylactic, 
diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and the understanding of the aetiology and pathogenesis of 
disease. Even the best proven prophylactic, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods must continuously be 
challenged through research for their effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility and quality. 
7. In current medical practice and in medical research, most prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic 
procedures involve risks and burdens. 
8. Medical research is subject to ethical standards that promote respect for all human beings and 
protect their health and rights. Some research populations are vulnerable and need special protection. 
The particular needs of the economically and medically disadvantaged must be recognized. Special 
attention is also required for those who cannot give or refuse consent for themselves, for those who 
may be subject to giving consent under duress, for those who will not benefit personally from the 
research and for those for whom the research is combined with care. 
9. Research Investigators should be aware of the ethical, legal and regulatory requirements for 
research on human subjects in their own countries as well as applicable international requirements. No 
national ethical, legal or regulatory requirement should be allowed to reduce or eliminate any of the 
protectionsfor human subjects set forth in this Declaration. 
 
B. BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR ALL MEDICAL RESEARCH 
10. It is the duty of the physician in medical research to protect the life, health, privacy, and dignity of 
the human subject. 


Protocol 
RALAM-Roll Over 
EudraCT No. 2017-000986-60 
Annex 41 
Protocol version 1.2, dated 04 May 2017 
 
 
11. Medical research involving human subjects must conform to generally accepted scientific 
principles, be based on a thorough knowledge of the scientific literature, other relevant sources of 
information, and on adequate laboratory and, where appropriate, animal experimentation. 
12. Appropriate caution must be exercised in the conduct of research which may affect the 
environment, and the welfare of animals used for research must be respected. 
13. The design and performance of each experimental procedure involving human subjects should be 
clearly formulated in an experimental protocol. This protocol should be submitted for consideration, 
comment, guidance, and where appropriate, approval to a specially appointed ethical review 
committee, which must be independent of the investigator, the sponsor or any other kind of undue 
influence. This independent committee should be in conformity with the laws and regulations of the 
country in which the research experiment is performed. The committee has the right to monitor 
ongoing trials. The researcher has the obligation to provide monitoring information to the committee, 
especially any serious adverse events. The researcher should also submit to the committee, for 
review, information regarding funding, sponsors, institutional affiliations, other potential conflicts of 
interest and incentives for subjects. 
14. The research protocol should always contain a statement of the ethical considerations involved 
and should indicate that there is compliance with the principles enunciated in this Declaration. 
15. Medical research involving human subjects should be conducted only by scientifically qualified 
persons and under the supervision ofa clinically competent medical person. The responsibility for the 
human subject must 
always rest with a medically qualified person and never rest on the subject of the research, even 
though the subject has given consent. 
16. Every medical research project involving human subjects should be preceded by careful 
assessment of predictable risks and burdens in comparison with foreseeable benefits to the subject or 
to others. This does not preclude the participation of healthy volunteers in medical research. The 
design of all studies should be publicly available. 
17.  
Physicians should abstain from engaging in research projects involving human subjects unless they 
are confident that the risks involved have been adequately assessed and can be satisfactorily 
managed. Physicians should cease any investigation if the risks are found to outweigh the potential 
benefits or if there is conclusive proof of positive and beneficial results. 
18. Medical research involving human subjects should only be conducted if the importance of the 
objective outweighs the inherent risks and burdens to the subject. This is especially important when 
the human subjects are healthy volunteers. 
19. Medical research is only justified if there is a reasonable likelihood that the populations in which the 
research is carried out stand to benefit from the results of the research. 
20. The subjects must be volunteers and informed participants in the research project. 
21. The right of research subjects to safeguard their integrity must always be respected. Every 
precaution should be taken to respect the privacy of the subject, the confidentiality of the patient’s 
information and to minimize the impact of the study on the subject's physical and mental integrity and 
on the personality of the subject. 
22. In any research on human beings, each potential subject must be adequately informed of the aims, 
methods, sources of funding, any possible conflicts of interest, institutional affiliations of the 
researcher, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the study and the discomfort it may entail. 
The subject should be informed of the right to abstain from participation in the study or to withdraw 
consent to participate at any time without reprisal. After ensuring that the subject has understood the 
information, the physician should then obtain the subject's freely-given informed consent, preferably in 
writing. If the consent cannot be obtained in writing, the non-written consent must be formally 
documented and witnessed. 
23. When obtaining informed consent for the research project the physician should be particularly 
cautious if the subject is in a dependent relationship with the physician or may consent under duress. 
In that case the informed consent should be obtained by a well-informed physician who is not engaged 
inthe investigation and who is completely independent of this relationship. 
24. For a research subject who is legally incompetent, physically or mentally incapable of giving 
consent or is a legally incompetent minor, the investigator must obtain informed consent from the 
legally authorized representative in accordance with applicable law. These groups should not be 
included in research unless the research is necessary to promote the health of the population 
represented and this research cannot instead be performed on legally competent persons.

EudraCT No. 2017-000986-60 
Annex 42 
Protocol version 1.2, dated 04 May 2017 
 
 
25. When a subject deemed legally incompetent, such as a minor child, is able to give assent to 
decisions about participation in research, the investigator must obtain that assent in addition to the 
consent of the legally authorized representative. 
26. Research on individuals from whom it isnot possible to obtain consent, including proxy or advance 
consent, should be done only if 
the physical/mental condition that prevents obtaining informed consent is a necessary characteristic of 
the research population. The specific reasons for involving research subjects with a condition that 
renders them unable to give informed consent should be stated in the experimental protocol for 
consideration and approval of the review committee. The protocol should state that consent to remain 
in the research should be obtained as soon as possible from the individual or a legally authorized 
surrogate. 
27. Both authors and publishers have ethical obligations. In publication of the results of research, the 
investigators are obliged to preserve the accuracy of the results. Negative as well as positive results 
should be published or otherwise publicly available. Sources of funding, institutional affiliations and any 
possible conflicts of interest should be declared in the publication. Reports of experimentation not in 
accordance with the principles laid down in this Declaration should not be accepted for publication. 
C. ADDITIONAL PRINCIPLES FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH 
OMBINED WITH MEDICAL CARE 
28. The physician may combine medical research with medical care, only to the extent that the 
research is justified by its potential prophylactic, diagnostic or therapeutic value. When medical 
research is combined with medical care, additional standards apply to protect the patients who are 
research subjects. 
29. The benefits, risks, burdens and effectiveness of a new method should be tested against those of 
the best current prophylactic, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods. This does not exclude the use of 
placebo, or no treatment, in studies where no proven prophylactic, diagnostic or therapeutic method 
exists. (See footnote*) 
30. At the conclusion of the study, every patient entered into the study should be assured of access to 
the best proven prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic methods identified by the study. 
31. The physician should fully inform the patient which aspects of the care are related to the research. 
The refusal of a patient to participate in a study must never interfere with the patient-physician 
relationship. 
32. In the treatment of a patient, where proven prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic methods do 
not exist or have been ineffective, the physician, with informed consent from the patient, must be free 
to use unproven or new prophylactic, diagnostic and therapeutic measures, if in the physician’s 
judgement it offers hope of saving life, re-establishing health or alleviating suffering. Where possible, 
these measures should be made the object of research, designed to evaluate their safety and efficacy. 
In all cases, new information should be recorded and, where appropriate, published. The other 
relevant guidelines of this Declaration should be followed. 
 
 
*FOOTNOTE: 
Note of Clarification on Paragraph 29 of the WMA Declaration of Helsinki 
 
The WMA hereby reaffirms its position that extreme care must be taken in making use of a placebo- 
controlled trial and that in general this methodology should only be used in the absence of existing 
proven therapy. However, a placebo-controlled trial may beethically acceptable, even if proven therapy 
is available, under the following circumstances: 
- Where for compelling and scientifically sound methodological reasons its use is necessary to 
determine the efficacy or safety of a prophylactic, diagnostic or therapeutic method; or 
- Where a prophylactic, diagnostic or therapeutic method is being investigated for a minor condition 
and the patients who receive placebo will not be subject to any additional risk of serious or irreversible 
harm. 
All other provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki must be adhered to, especially the need for 
appropriate ethical and scientific review
