Enrollment: 100 participants; Allocation: NA; Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP

Brief summary:
Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), also referred to as Churg-Strauss syndrome, is a rare hyper-eosinophilic syndrome. Eosinophilia is central to the pathophysiology of EGPA and interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a key cytokine regulating the life-cycle of the eosinophil. Neutralization of IL-5 with mepolizumab, an anti-IL5 monoclonal antibody, therefore offers a potential therapeutic option for EGPA. The objective of study MEA115921 was to investigate the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab compared with placebo wherein the subjects were randomized to receive either: 300 milligram (mg) mepolizumab or Placebo subcutaneous (SC) injection every 4 weeks in addition to their background standard-of-care therapy. Subjects were treated for a period of 52 weeks and then followed up for a further 8 weeks to study completion at Week 60. This is a LAP to support provision of open-label mepolizumab on an individual basis to eligible subjects who participated in clinical study MEA115921 and who require a dose of prednisolone (or equivalent) of \>=5 milligrams per day (mg/day) for adequate control of their EGPA. Eligible subjects can initiate mepolizumab under this LAP within a 6-month period starting from completion of study MEA115921 (that is, at Week 60) or, in case of premature discontinuation from study MEA115921, the subjects will initiate mepolizumab at the time point that would have been Week 60 if the subject had completed the study. Eligible subjects will receive subcutaneously administered mepolizumab at a dose of 300 mg SC every 4 weeks. Eligible subjects will continue to receive mepolizumab under this LAP until mepolizumab is commercially licensed for the treatment of EGPA in the relevant country or until GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) discontinues the program or until the subject meets any of the withdrawal/stopping criteria.

Detailed description:

Arms: arm 1: Subjects who participated in clinical study MEA115921 and who require a dose of prednisolone (or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for adequate control of their EGPA will be included. Eligible subjects will receive subcutaneously administered mepolizumab at a dose of 300 mg SC every 4 weeks.
Interventions: intervention 1: Mepolizumab intervention 2: Prednisolone
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Mepolizumab will be available as lyophilized powder for injection to be reconstituted with sterile water for injection, prior to use. Subjects will be dosed with mepolizumab at a dose of 300 mg which will be administered as three separate 100 mg SC injections every 4 weeks. The injections will be administered into any of the upper arm, thigh or anterior abdominal wall. intervention 2: Subjects who require a dose of prednisolone (or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for adequate control of their EGPA will be included.

PROTOCOL SYNOPSIS FOR STUDY MEA116841 
Rationale 
Eosinophilia is central to the pathophysiology of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with 
Polyangiitis (EGPA) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a key cytokine regulating the life-cycle of 
the eosinophil. Neutralisation of IL-5 with mepolizumab, an anti-IL5 monoclonal 
antibody, therefore offers a potential therapeutic option for EGPA. This was shown by 
data from two investigator-sponsored studies which attest to the clinical utility/proof-of-
concept of mepolizumab in the treatment of EGPA by demonstrating the potential for 
mepolizumab to allow safe reduction in corticosteroid dose while maintaining clinical 
stability (study CRT109797) and for induction of remission (study MHE109435) in 
subjects with EGPA. These studies supported the subsequent initiation of a randomised, 
double-blind, phase 3 study (MEA115921) investigating the efficacy and safety of 
mepolizumab (300 mg subcutaneously [SC] every 4 weeks) compared with placebo over 
a 52-week study treatment period (with 8-week follow-up) in subjects with relapsing or 
refractory EGPA receiving standard-of-care therapy including background corticosteroid 
therapy with or without immunosuppressive therapy.  
The purpose of this protocol is to support provision of open-label mepolizumab from 
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), on an individual basis, to eligible subjects who participated in 
study MEA115921 and satisfy specific requirements, including requiring a dose of 
prednisolone (or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for adequate control of their EGPA. This will 
be referred to as a ‘Long-term access programme (LAP)’ and this protocol outlines the 
procedures to support treatment with mepolizumab in appropriate subjects. 
Objective 
The objective of this protocol is to provide a mechanism to supply mepolizumab on an 
individual subject basis to eligible subjects who previously participated in GSK-
sponsored study MEA115921. 
Overall Design 
This is a Long-term Access Programme (LAP) to support provision of open-label 
mepolizumab on an individual basis to eligible subjects who participated in clinical study 
MEA115921 and who require a dose of prednisolone (or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for 
adequate control of their EGPA. Eligible subjects can initiate mepolizumab under this 
LAP within a 6-month period starting from completion of study MEA115921 (i.e., at 
Week 60) or, if the subject discontinued study MEA115921 prematurely, from the time-
point that would have been Week 60 if the subject had completed the study. Initiation of 
mepolizumab treatment under this LAP more than 6 months after the MEA115921 Week 
60 time-point will be considered on an individual subject basis by the GSK Medical 
Monitor. 
After IRB/Ethics Committee approval is received for this protocol, the treating physician 
will be required to complete a ‘Long-term Access Programme’ Subject Application 
Form’ if he/she identifies a subject who may be eligible for treatment. The completed 
application form must be sent to GSK for review and approval by the GSK Medical

Monitor to confirm the subject is eligible for treatment with mepolizumab under this 
LAP. Approval will be communicated to the treating physician and mepolizumab 
supplies provided for initiation of treatment. 
Individual investigators will be responsible for identifying subjects from MEA115921 
who may be eligible for treatment with mepolizumab under this LAP and for ensuring the 
necessary approval is obtained from GSK. In the event a subject is deemed appropriate 
for treatment with mepolizumab the investigator will then be responsible for ongoing 
benefit:risk evaluation to support continued treatment with mepolizumab irrespective of 
oral corticosteroid dose. It is expected that the treating physician will monitor subjects as 
per standard-of-care therapy (including any requirements for blood and urine tests). 
Eligible subjects will receive subcutaneously administered mepolizumab at a dose of 
300 mg SC every 4 weeks.  
Information including demography, cardiovascular risk, date of randomization and last 
visit in study MEA115921 will be collected from participating subjects. Study visits will 
include assessment of adverse events and serious adverse events and recording of 
corticosteroid use. Based on regular standard-of-care management, at each visit the 
investigator will be required to make an overall assessment of benefit:risk for treatment 
with mepolizumab prior to administration. To support continued supply of mepolizumab, 
the investigator is required to record the overall assessment of benefit risk every 
12 weeks. Urine pregnancy tests will be conducted on females of child-bearing potential. 
In the event a subject discontinues treatment, for any reason, a follow-up assessment will 
be required 12 weeks after the last dose of mepolizumab. 
Eligible subjects can continue to receive mepolizumab under this LAP until mepolizumab 
is commercially licensed for the treatment of EGPA in the relevant country or until the 
Sponsor discontinues development in EGPA or until the subject meets any of the 
withdrawal/stopping criteria. United Kingdom (UK) only clarification: Eligible subjects 
can continue to receive mepolizumab under this LAP until July 2022 or until the Sponsor 
discontinues development in EGPA or until the subject meets any of the 
withdrawal/stopping criteria.

INTRODUCTION 
2.1. 
Study Rationale 
GlaxoSmith Kline (GSK) is sponsoring a randomised, double-blind, phase 3 study 
(MEA115921) investigating the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab (300 mg 
subcutaneously [SC] every 4 weeks) compared with placebo over a 52-week study 
treatment period in subjects with relapsing or refractory EGPA receiving standard-of-care 
therapy including background corticosteroid therapy with or without immunosuppressive 
therapy [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 2012N142276_02].  
The purpose of this protocol is to support provision of mepolizumab from GSK, on an 
individual compassionate basis, to eligible subjects who have participated in study 
MEA115921 and who satisfy specific requirements, including requiring a dose of 
prednisolone (or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for adequate control of their EGPA. This 
mechanism will be referred to as a ‘Long-term Access Programme’ (LAP) in this 
protocol and outlines procedures to support treatment with mepolizumab in appropriate 
subjects. 
2.2. 
Brief Background 
Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA), also referred to as Churg-Strauss 
syndrome (CSS), is a rare hypereosinophilic syndrome characterised by small vessel 
vasculitis in association with asthma, sinusitis, and pulmonary infiltrates. Multiple organs 
can be affected including the heart, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and 
nervous system [Keogh, 2006; Vaglio, 2012; Holle, 2009]. 
Eosinophilia is central to the pathophysiology of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with 
Polyangiitis (EGPA) and interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a key cytokine regulating the life-cycle of 
the eosinophil [Keogh, 2006; Vaglio, 2012; Holle, 2009; Clutterbuck, 1989; Lopez, 1988; 
Rothenberg, 2006]. Neutralisation of IL-5 with mepolizumab, an anti-IL5 monoclonal 
antibody, therefore offers a potential therapeutic option for EGPA. 
Mepolizumab is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1, kappa, mAb) which is 
specific for human IL-5 and which blocks binding of human IL-5 (hIL-5) to the alpha 
chain of the IL-5 receptor complex expressed on the eosinophil cell surface. In patients 
with conditions where eosinophilia is considered to play an important part in the 
pathology, a consistent reduction in eosinophil number is observed in association with 
mepolizumab administration, with concomitant clinical improvement [Haldar, 2009; 
Pavord, 2012; Stein, 2006; Rothenberg, 2008; Nair, 2009]. 
Data from two investigator-sponsored studies attested to the clinical utility/proof-of-
concept of mepolizumab in the treatment of EGPA having demonstrated the potential for 
mepolizumab to allow safe reduction in corticosteroid dose while maintaining clinical 
stability (study CRT109797; [Kim, 2010; IB; GlaxoSmithKline Document Number: 
CM2003/00010/08]) and for induction of remission (study MHE109435; [Moosig, 2011; 
IB; GlaxoSmithKline Document Number: CM2003/00010/08]) in subjects with EGPA.

This has supported initiation of a phase 3, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled 
study, MEA115921 [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 2012N142276_02].  
The objective of study MEA115921 is focussed on investigating the efficacy and safety 
of mepolizumab plus standard-of-care compared with placebo plus standard-of-care. In 
this study, 130 subjects are randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either: 300 mg 
mepolizumab SC every 4 weeks (n=65) or Placebo SC every 4 weeks (n=65) in addition 
to their background standard-of-care therapy including corticosteroid therapy with or 
without immunosuppressive therapy. Subjects are treated for a period of 52 weeks and 
then followed up for a further 8 weeks to study completion at Week 60.

OBJECTIVE 
The objective of this protocol is to provide a mechanism to supply mepolizumab on an 
individual subject basis to eligible subjects who previously participated in GSK-
sponsored study MEA115921. 
4. 
STUDY DESIGN 
4.1. 
Overall Design 
This is a LAP to support provision of open-label mepolizumab on an individual basis to 
eligible subjects who participated in clinical study MEA115921 who satisfy specific 
requirements, including requiring a dose of prednisolone (or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for 
adequate control of their EGPA. Eligible subjects can initiate mepolizumab under this 
LAP within a 6-month period starting from completion of study MEA115921 (i.e., at 
Week 60) or, if the subject discontinued study MEA115921 prematurely, from the time-
point that would have been Week 60 if the subject had completed the study. Initiation of 
mepolizumab treatment under this LAP more than 6 months after the MEA115921 Week 
60 time-point will be considered on an individual subject basis by the GSK Medical 
Monitor.  
After IRB/Ethics Committee approval is received for this protocol, the treating physician 
will be required to complete a ‘Long-term Access Programme Subject Application Form’ 
if he/she identifies a subject who may be eligible for treatment (a copy will be provided 
in the Study Reference Manual). The completed application form must be sent to GSK 
for review and approval by the GSK Medical Monitor to confirm the subject is eligible 
for treatment with mepolizumab under this LAP. Approval will be communicated to the 
treating physician and mepolizumab supplies provided for initiation of treatment. 
Individual investigators will be responsible for identifying subjects from MEA115921 
who may be eligible for treatment with mepolizumab under this LAP and for ensuring the 
necessary approval is obtained from GSK. In the event a subject is deemed appropriate 
for treatment with mepolizumab the investigator will then be responsible for ongoing 
benefit:risk evaluation to support continued treatment with mepolizumab irrespective of 
oral corticosteroid dose. It is expected that the treating physician will monitor subjects as 
per standard-of-care therapy (including any requirements for blood and urine tests).

Eligible subjects will receive subcutaneously administered mepolizumab at a dose of 
300 mg SC every 4 weeks.  
Information including demography, cardiovascular risk, date of randomization and last 
visit in study MEA115921 will be collected from participating subjects. Study visits will 
include assessment of adverse events and serious adverse events and recording of 
corticosteroid use. Based on regular standard-of-care management, at each visit the 
investigator will be required to make an overall assessment of benefit:risk for treatment 
with mepolizumab prior to administration. To support continued supply of mepolizumab, 
the investigator is required to record the overall assessment of benefit risk every 
12 weeks. Urine pregnancy tests will be conducted on females of child-bearing potential 
(FCBP). In the event a subject discontinues treatment, for any reason, a follow-up 
assessment will be required 12 weeks after the last dose of mepolizumab. 
Eligible subjects can continue to receive mepolizumab under this LAP until mepolizumab 
is commercially licensed for the treatment of EGPA in the relevant country or until the 
Sponsor discontinues development in EGPA or until the subject meets any of the 
withdrawal/stopping criteria. 
UK only clarification: Eligible subjects can continue to receive mepolizumab under this 
LAP until July 2022 or until the Sponsor discontinues development in EGPA or until the 
subject meets any of the withdrawal/stopping criteria. 
A summary of the study design is provided in Figure 1.

Study Design 
 
Serious adverse events (SAEs) reported from ongoing clinical studies with mepolizumab 
are reviewed daily by the project Medical Monitor. Additionally, regular, systematic 
reviews of emerging safety data from all clinical studies are conducted by an in-house 
multi-disciplinary Safety Review Team (SRT) which provides a central and dedicated 
forum for review of emerging data which could impact subject safety. The SRT, which 
includes the project Medical Monitor, other physicians assigned to the project, clinical 
scientists and a statistician, review blinded and unblinded (i.e., from open-label trials) 
safety data from ongoing clinical studies with mepolizumab on a regular basis and 
conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the safety data upon completion of each study. 
Moreover, an integrated analysis of safety across the program is completed annually 
when additional safety data are available from completed studies. A re-assessment of 
benefit risk and the current Developmental Core Safety Information (DCSI) is completed 
at each SRT meeting subsequent to review of new data. Additionally, an Independent

Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will be utilized until completion of the lead study 
MEA115921; their primary focus will be the monitoring of cardiovascular safety and all 
cause mortality.   
Furthermore, GSK has a standard and comprehensive process for the reporting and 
management of Sentinel Events. A sentinel event is an SAE that is not necessarily drug-
related, but that has been associated historically with adverse reactions for other drugs, 
and is therefore worthy of heightened pharmacovigilance. Sentinel Events include 
acquired long QT syndrome, agranulocytosis, anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions, 
hepatotoxicity, renal failure, seizures, and Stevens Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal 
necrolysis. Subsequent to the reporting of a sentinel event, the Medical Monitor promptly 
notifies the SRT and the GSK Global Safety Board and leads a thorough and 
comprehensive follow-up of the sentinel event with collection of all relevant data.    
4.2. 
Type and Number of Subjects 
Any subject who participated in study MEA115921 who requires a dose of prednisolone 
(or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for adequate control of their EGPA will be eligible to be 
considered for treatment with mepolizumab under the LAP outlined in this protocol. 
4.3. 
Dose Justification 
The dose of mepolizumab for this LAP is the same as that investigated in the lead clinical 
study, MEA115921, i.e., 300 mg mepolizumab SC every 4 weeks.

4.4.2. 
Benefit Assessment 
Data from two investigator-sponsored studies attested to the clinical utility/proof-of-
concept of mepolizumab in the treatment of EGPA having demonstrated the potential for 
mepolizumab to allow safe reduction in corticosteroid dose while maintaining clinical 
stability (study CRT109797; [Kim, 2010; IB; GlaxoSmithKline Document Number: 
CM2003/00010/08]) and for induction of remission (study MHE109435; [Moosig, 2011; 
IB; GlaxoSmithKline Document Number: CM2003/00010/08]) in subjects with EGPA. 
Furthermore, mepolizumab has also demonstrated clinical benefit in other conditions 
where eosinophilia is considered to play an important part in the pathology, e.g., severe 
asthma [Haldar, 2009; Nair, 2009; Pavord, 2012], hypereosinophilic syndrome 
[Rothenberg, 2008] and eosinophilic esophagitis [Stein, 2006]. 
Study MEA115921 is a phase 3, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study 
investigating the efficacy and safety of mepolizumab in the treatment of EGPA in 
subjects receiving standard-of-care therapy.  
The Sponsor considers that the available data support provision of mepolizumab to 
subjects who participated in study MEA115921 and who require a dose of prednisolone 
(or equivalent) of 5 mg/day for adequate control of their EGPA, as outlined in the 
eligibility criteria for supply of mepolizumab as outlined in this protocol/’LAP’. 
4.4.3. 
Overall Benefit:Risk Conclusion 
Current data from mepolizumab preclinical and clinical development indicate the ability 
of mepolizumab to inhibit IL-5, with demonstration of the potential for clinical utility in 
the treatment of conditions associated with hypereosinophilia such as EGPA. To date, the 
safety profile of mepolizumab has been favourable and Aes reported commonly are non-
serious and manageable with minimal supportive care. Furthermore, there have been no 
safety concerns identified or signals observed with mepolizumab that would preclude 
investigation in EGPA. The Sponsor therefore considers that the available data and 
overall benefit/risk profile support treatment of subjects who participated in study 
MEA115921.

7.2. 
Screening and Critical Baseline Assessments 
The subject’s informed consent will be obtained at the Screening visit. 
Review of inclusion/exclusion criteria will be conducted at the Screening visit. 
The investigator will make a benefit:risk evaluation to confirm treatment with 
mepolizumab is appropriate for the subject.  
The subject’s identification number from study MEA115921 will be recorded in addition 
to their current oral corticosteroid dose. 
Cardiovascular medical history/risk factors (as detailed in the CRF) will be assessed at 
screening. 
The following demographic parameters will be captured: year of birth, sex, race and 
ethnicity. 
7.3. 
Safety 
Planned time points for all safety assessments are listed in the Time and Events Table 
(Section 7.1).   
The treating physician should make a benefit:risk evaluation to confirm treatment with 
mepolizumab is appropriate prior to each administration. This will be documented every 
12 weeks to support continued supply. It is expected that the treating physician will 
monitor subjects as per standard-of-care therapy (including any requirements for blood 
and urine tests). 
7.3.1. 
Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) 
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix 4. Additionally, because 
mepolizumab is a monoclonal antibody administered subcutaneously, systemic (i.e., 
allergic/hypersensitivity and non-allergic) reactions and local injection site reactions will 
be reported and recorded throughout the treatment and follow-up period. Hypersensitivity 
reactions will be monitored using the diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis as outlined by 
the 2006 Joint NIAID/FAAN Second Symposium on Anaphylaxis [Sampson, 2006] 
(Error! Reference source not found.). 
The treating physician and their designees are responsible for detecting, documenting and 
reporting events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE.  
7.3.1.1. 
Time period and Frequency for collecting AE and SAE information 
• 
Aes and SAEs will be collected from administration of the first dose of mepolizumab 
and will continue indefinitely, see minimum schedule of assessments, Time and 
Events Table (Section 7.1) 
• 
Any SAEs assessed as related to study participation (e.g., protocol-mandated 
procedures, invasive tests, or change in existing therapy) or related to a GSK product 


2014N201870_04 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
 
MEA116841 
 
29 
will be recorded from the time a subject consents to participate in the study up to and 
including any follow-up contact.  
• 
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to GSK within 24 hours, as indicated in 
Appendix 4. The treating physician is not obligated to actively seek Aes or SAEs in 
former study subjects. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a 
death, at any time after a subject has discontinued mepolizumab treatment under the 
LAP, and he/she considers the event reasonably related to the study treatment or 
study participation, the investigator must promptly notify GSK. 
NOTE: The method of recording, evaluating and assessing causality of Aes and SAEs 
plus procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports to GSK are provided in 
Appendix 4 
 
7.3.1.2. 
Method of Detecting Aes and SAEs 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting Aes and/or SAEs. Open-ended 
and non-leading verbal questioning of the subject is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrence. Appropriate questions include: 
• 
“How are you feeling?”  
• 
“Have you had any (other) medical problems since your last visit/contact?”  
• 
“Have you taken any new medicines, other than those provided in this study, since 
your last visit/contact?”  
7.3.1.3. 
Follow-up of Aes and SAEs 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the treating physician is required to proactively follow 
each subject at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs, and non-serious Aes of special 
interest (as defined in Section 4.4.1) will be followed until resolution, until the condition 
stabilizes, until the event is otherwise explained, or until the subject is lost to follow-up 
(as defined in Section 5.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is given in 
Appendix 4. 
7.3.1.4. 
Cardiovascular and Death Events 
Investigators will be required to fill out the specific CV event page of the CRF for the 
cardiovascular Aes and SAEs, as listed in Appendix 4: Section 12.4.3. 
In addition, all deaths will require a specific death data collection tool to be completed. 
The death data collection tool includes questions regarding cardiovascular (including 
sudden cardiac death) and non-cardiovascular death. 
This information should be recorded within one week of when the death is first reported.

7.3.1.5. 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
Prompt notification by the treating physician to GSK of SAEs and non-serious Aes 
related to study treatment (even for non- interventional post-marketing studies) is 
essential so that legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of 
subjects and the safety of a product under clinical investigation are met.  
GSK has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other 
regulatory agencies about the safety of a product under clinical investigation. GSK will 
comply with country specific regulatory requirements relating to safety reporting to the 
regulatory authority, Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee 
(IEC) and investigators. 
Treating physician safety reports are prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions according to local regulatory requirements and GSK policy and are forwarded 
to investigators as necessary. 
A treating physician who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE(s) or 
other specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from GSK will file it 
with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements. 
7.3.2. 
Pregnancy 
Urine pregnancy tests in FCBP will be conducted as indicated in the Time and Events 
Table (Section 7.1).  
Details of all pregnancies in female subjects will be collected after the start of dosing and 
until 12 weeks post last dose. If a pregnancy is reported then the investigator should 
inform GSK within 2 weeks of learning of the pregnancy and should follow the 
procedures outlined below. 
• 
Treatment with mepolizumab should be discontinued in the event of pregnancy. . 
• 
Any pregnancy that occurs during study participation must be reported using a 
clinical trial pregnancy form. To ensure subject safety, each pregnancy must be 
reported to GSK within 2 weeks of learning of its occurrence. The pregnancy must 
be followed up to determine outcome (including premature termination) and status of 
mother and child. Pregnancy complications and elective terminations for medical 
reasons must be reported as an AE or SAE. Spontaneous abortions must be reported 
as an SAE. 
• 
Any SAE occurring in association with a pregnancy, brought to the investigator’s 
attention after the subject has completed the study and considered by the investigator 
as possibly related to the study treatment, must be promptly reported to GSK.

• 
Signed informed consent must be obtained for each subject prior to participation in 
the study 
• 
The IEC/IRB, and where applicable the regulatory authority, approve the clinical 
protocol and all optional assessments, including genetic research.  
• 
Optional assessments (including those in a separate protocol and/or under separate 
informed consent) and the clinical protocol should be concurrently submitted for 
approval unless regulation requires separate submission.  
• 
Approval of the optional assessments may occur after approval is granted for the 
clinical protocol where required by regulatory authorities. In this situation, written 
approval of the clinical protocol should state that approval of optional assessments is 
being deferred and the study, with the exception of the optional assessments, can be 
initiated. 
10.2. 
Quality Control (Study Monitoring) 
• 
In accordance with applicable regulations including GCP, and GSK procedures, 
GSK monitors will contact the site prior to the start of the study to review with the 
site staff the protocol, study requirements, and their responsibilities to satisfy 
regulatory, ethical, and GSK requirements.  
• 
When reviewing data collection procedures, the discussion will also include 
identification, agreement and documentation of data items for which the CRF will 
serve as the source document. 
GSK will monitor the study and site activity to verify that the: 
• 
Data are authentic, accurate, and complete. 
• 
Safety and rights of subjects are being protected. 
• 
Study is conducted in accordance with the currently approved protocol and any other 
study agreements, GCP, and all applicable regulatory requirements. 
The investigator and the head of the medical institution (where applicable) agrees to 
allow the monitor direct access to all relevant documents 
10.3. 
Quality Assurance 
• 
To ensure compliance with GCP and all applicable regulatory requirements, GSK 
may conduct a quality assurance assessment and/or audit of the site records, and the 
regulatory agencies may conduct a regulatory inspection at any time during or after 
completion of the study.  
• 
In the event of an assessment, audit or inspection, the investigator (and institution) 
must agree to grant the advisor(s), auditor(s) and inspector(s) direct access to all 
relevant documents and to allocate their time and the time of their staff to discuss the 
conduct of the study, any findings/relevant issues and to implement any corrective 
and/or preventative actions to address any findings/issues identified.

10.4. 
Study and Site Closure 
• 
Upon completion or premature discontinuation of the study, the GSK monitor will 
conduct site closure activities with the investigator or site staff, as appropriate, in 
accordance with applicable regulations including GCP, and GSK Standard Operating 
Procedures. 
• 
GSK reserves the right to temporarily suspend or prematurely discontinue this study 
at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, safety or ethical issues or severe 
non-compliance. For  nformation studies, this can occur at one or more or at all 
sites.  
• 
If GSK determines such action is needed, GSK will discuss the reasons for taking 
such action with the investigator or the head of the medical institution (where 
applicable). When feasible, GSK will provide advance notification to the investigator 
or the head of the medical institution, where applicable, of the impending action. 
• 
If the study is suspended or prematurely discontinued for safety reasons, GSK will 
promptly inform all investigators, heads of the medical institutions (where 
applicable) and/or institution(s) conducting the study. GSK will also promptly 
inform the relevant regulatory authorities of the suspension or premature 
discontinuation of the study and the reason(s) for the action.  
• 
If required by applicable regulations, the investigator or the head of the medical 
institution (where applicable) must inform the IRB/IEC promptly and provide the 
reason for the suspension or premature discontinuation. 
10.5. 
Records Retention 
• 
Following closure of the study, the investigator or the head of the medical institution 
(where applicable) must maintain all site study records (except for those required by 
local regulations to be maintained elsewhere), in a safe and secure location.   
• 
The records must be maintained to allow easy and timely retrieval, when needed 
(e.g., for a GSK audit or regulatory inspection) and must be available for review in 
conjunction with assessment of the facility, supporting systems, and relevant site 
staff.   
• 
Where permitted by local laws/regulations or institutional policy, some or all of these 
records can be maintained in a format other than hard copy (e.g., microfiche, 
scanned, electronic); however, caution needs to be exercised before such action is 
taken.   
• 
The investigator must ensure that all reproductions are legible and are a true and 
accurate copy of the original and meet accessibility and retrieval standards, including 
re-generating a hard copy, if required. Furthermore, the investigator must ensure 
there is an acceptable back-up of these reproductions and that an acceptable quality 
control process exists for making these reproductions. 
• 
GSK will inform the investigator of the time period for retaining these records to 
comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. The minimum retention time 
will meet the strictest standard applicable to that site for the study, as dictated by any 


2014N201870_04 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
 
MEA116841 
 
34 
institutional requirements or local laws or regulations, GSK standards/procedures, 
and/or institutional requirements.   
• 
The investigator must notify GSK of any changes in the archival arrangements, 
including, but not limited to, archival at an off-site facility or transfer of ownership 
of the records in the event the investigator is no longer associated with the site. 
10.6. 
Provision of Study Results to Investigators, Posting of 
Information on Publically Available Clinical Trials Registers 
and Publication 
Where required by applicable regulatory requirements, an investigator signatory will be 
identified for the approval of the clinical study report. The investigator will be provided 
reasonable access to statistical tables, figures, and relevant reports and will have the 
opportunity to review the complete study results at a GSK site or other mutually-
agreeable location. 
GSK will also provide the investigator with the full summary of the study results. The 
investigator is encouraged to share the summary results with the study subjects, as 
appropriate. 
The procedures and timing for public disclosure of the results summary and for 
development of a manuscript for publication will be in accordance with GSK Policy. 
10.7. 
Review Committees 
An IDMC will be utilized until completion of the lead study MEA115921; their primary 
focus will be the monitoring of cardiovascular safety and all cause mortality.

Appendix 2 – Anaphylaxis Criteria 
Hypersensitivity reactions will be monitored using the diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis 
as outlined by the Joint NIAID/FAAN Second Symposium on Anaphylaxis 
[Sampson, 2006]. The criteria do not make a distinction based on underlying mechanism. 
These criteria are summarized as follows: 
4) Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, 
mucosal tissue, or both (e.g., generalized hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-
tongue-uvula), and at least one of the following: 
c) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, 
reduced PEF, hypoxemia)  
d) Reduced BP or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction (e.g., 
hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence) 
5) Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after exposure to a likely allergen 
for that patient (minutes to several hours): 
e) Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue (e.g., generalized hives, itch-flush, 
swollen lips-tongue-uvula) 
f) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, 
reduced PEF, hypoxemia) 
g) Reduced BP or associated symptoms (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope, 
incontinence) 
h) Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., crampy abdominal pain, vomiting) 
6) Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that patient (minutes to several 
hours): 
c) Infants and children: low systolic BP (age specific) or greater than 30% 
decrease in systolic BP 
d) Adults: systolic BP of less than 90 mm Hg or greater than 30% decrease from 
that person’s baseline

Appendix 3 – Acceptable Birth Control 
To be eligible for entry into the study, females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must 
commit to consistent and correct use of an acceptable method of birth control from the 
time of consent, for the duration of the trial, and for 4 months after the last mepolizumab 
administration. 
• 
Male partner who is sterile prior to the female subject’s entry into the study and 
is the sole sexual partner for that female subject  
• 
Abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse. 
• 
UK only clarification: True abstinence from penile-vaginal intercourse when 
this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. 
• 
Implants of levonorgestrel or etonogestrel  
• 
Injectable progestogen 
• 
Oral contraceptive (either combined or progestogen alone) 
• 
Estrogenic vaginal ring 
• 
Percutaneous contraceptive patches 
• 
Any intrauterine device (IUD) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% 
per year. 
• 
Male condom combined with a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or 
suppository) 
• 
Male condom combined with a female diaphragm, either with or without a 
vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository) 
Females of childbearing potential are defined as females with functioning ovaries (i.e., 
post-menarche, premenopausal women with no documented impairment of oviductal or 
uterine function that would cause sterility). This category includes females with 
oligomenorrhea, females who are peri-menopausal, and young females who have begun 
to menstruate (adolescents). The information on the lack of impairment of oviductal or 
uterine function that would cause sterility can come from the site personnel’s: 
• 
Review of subject’s medical records 
• 
Medical examination of the subject 
• 
Interview with the subject on her medical history. 
Females of non-childbearing potential are defined as females with functioning ovaries 
and with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy; or females who are 
postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with an appropriate 
clinical profile, e.g. age appropriate, >45 years, in the absence of hormone replacement 
therapy (HRT). 
In questionable cases a blood sample for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol 
will be obtained and  nformat to confirm childbearing potential.

Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of 
the contraception methods listed above for females of childbearing potential if they wish 
to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow 
confirmation of post-menopausal status prior to study enrolment. For most forms of HRT, 
at least 2-4 weeks should elapse between the cessation of therapy and the blood draw; 
this interval depends on the type and dosage of HRT. Following confirmation of their 
post-menopausal status, they can resume use of HRT during the study without use of a 
contraceptive method. 
Based on the absence of an identified reproductive hazard from preclinical studies, 
absence of a genotoxic potential, and very low levels of mepolizumab that might be 
present in semen, there is no recognized risk for mepolizumab to affect human sperm or 
the foetus if transferred to a female partner via semen. Therefore, the use of condoms or 
other methods of contraception in the male study subject is not required.

Appendix 4 – Definition of and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-Up and Reporting of Adverse Events 
12.4.1. 
Definition of Adverse Events 
Adverse Event Definition: 
• 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation 
subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not 
considered related to the medicinal product. 
• 
NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of a medicinal product. 
 
Events meeting AE definition include: 
• 
Any abnormal laboratory test results (haematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) 
or other safety assessments (e.g., ECGs, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, and felt to be clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgement of the investigator. 
• 
Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
• 
New conditions detected or diagnosed after study treatment administration even 
though it may have been present prior to the start of the study. 
• 
Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected interaction. 
• 
Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
treatment or a concomitant medication (overdose per se will not be reported as an 
AE/SAE unless this is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. This should be reported regardless of sequelae). 
• 
“Lack of efficacy” or “failure of expected pharmacological action” per se will not be 
reported as an AE or SAE. However, the signs and symptoms and/or clinical 
sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy will be reported if they fulfil the definition 
of an AE or SAE. 
 
Events NOT meeting definition of an AE include: 
• 
Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the subject’s condition. 
• 
The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the subject’s 
condition.

• 
Medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is an AE. 
• 
Situations where an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
• 
Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present 
or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen. 
 
12.4.2. 
Definition of Serious Adverse Events 
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, 
death due to progression of disease, etc). 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, 
at any dose: 
a. Results in death 
b. Is life-threatening 
NOTE: 
The term ‘life-threatening’ in the definition of ‘serious’ refers to an event in which the 
subject was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
c. 
Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
NOTE: 
• 
In general, hospitalization signifies that the subject has been detained (usually 
involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for 
observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s 
office or out-patient setting. Complications that occur during hospitalization are Aes. 
If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfils any other serious criteria, the 
event is serious. When in doubt as to whether “hospitalization” occurred or was 
necessary, the AE should be considered serious. 
• 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen 
from baseline is not considered an AE. 
d. Results in disability/incapacity 
NOTE: 
• 
The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions. 
• 
This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, influenza,

and accidental trauma (e.g. sprained ankle) which may interfere or prevent everyday 
life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption 
e. 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
f. 
Other situations: 
• 
Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether reporting is 
appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize 
the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
other outcomes listed in the above definition. These should also be considered 
serious. 
• 
Examples of such events are invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment in an 
emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency 
or drug abuse 
g. Is associated with liver injury and impaired liver function defined as: 
• 
ALT  3xULN and total bilirubin*  2xULN (>35% direct), or 
• 
ALT  3xULN and INR** > 1.5. 
* Serum bilirubin fractionation should be performed if testing is available; if unavailable, 
measure urinary bilirubin via dipstick. If fractionation is unavailable and ALT  3xULN 
and total bilirubin  2xULN, then the event is still to be reported as an SAE. 
** INR testing not required per protocol and the threshold value does not apply to 
subjects receiving anticoagulants. If INR measurement is obtained, the value is to be 
recorded on the SAE form. 
 
12.4.3. 
Definition of Cardiovascular Events 
Cardiovascular Events (CV) Definition: 
Investigators will be required to fill out the specific CV event page of the CRF for the 
following Aes and SAEs: 
• 
Myocardial infarction/unstable angina 
• 
Congestive heart failure 
• 
Arrhythmias 
• 
Valvulopathy 
• 
Pulmonary hypertension 
• 
Cerebrovascular events/stroke and transient ischemic attack 
• 
Peripheral arterial thromboembolism

• 
Deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism 
• 
Revascularization 
 
12.4.4. 
Recording of Aes and SAEs 
Aes and SAE Recording: 
• 
When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation (e.g., hospital progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) 
relative to the event. 
• 
The investigator will then record all relevant information regarding an AE/SAE in 
the CRF 
• 
It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the subject’s medical 
records to GSK in lieu of completion of the GSK, AE/SAE CRF page. 
• 
There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by GSK. In this instance, all subject identifiers, with the exception of the 
subject number, will be blinded on the copies of the medical records prior to 
submission of to GSK. 
• 
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. In such cases, the diagnosis will be 
documented as the AE/SAE and not the individual signs/symptoms. 
 
12.4.5. 
Evaluating Aes and SAEs 
Assessment of Intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported 
during the study and will assign it to one of the following categories: 
• 
Mild:  An event that is easily tolerated by the subject, causing minimal discomfort 
and not interfering with everyday activities. 
• 
Moderate:  An event that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal 
everyday activities 
• 
Severe:  An event that prevents normal everyday activities. – an AE that is assessed 
as severe will not be confused with an SAE. Severity is a category utilized for rating 
the intensity of an event; and both Aes and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
• 
An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least one of the pre-defined 
outcomes as described in the definition of an SAE.

Assessment of Causality 
• 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study treatment and 
the occurrence of each AE/SAE. 
• 
A “reasonable possibility” is meant to convey that there are facts/evidence or 
arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot be ruled 
out. 
• 
The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
• 
Alternative causes, such as natural history of the underlying diseases, concomitant 
therapy, other risk factors, and the temporal relationship of the event to the study 
treatment will be considered and investigated. 
• 
The investigator will also consult the Investigator Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in the determination of his/her assessment. 
• 
For each AE/SAE the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• 
There may be situations when an SAE has occurred and the investigator has minimal 
information to include in the initial report to GSK. However, it is very important 
that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every event 
prior to the initial transmission of the SAE data to GSK. 
• 
The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information, amending the SAE data collection tool accordingly. 
• 
The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements. 
 
Follow-up of Aes and SAEs 
• 
The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as may be indicated or as requested by GSK to 
elucidate as fully as possible the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE. 
• 
The investigator is obligated to assist. This may include additional laboratory tests or 
investigations, histopathological examinations or consultation with other health care 
professionals. 
• 
If a subject dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up 
period, the investigator will provide GSK with a copy of any post-mortem findings, 
including histopathology. 
• 
New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed CRF. 
• 
The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within the designated 
reporting time frames.

Reporting of SAEs to GSK 
SAE reporting to GSK via electronic data collection tool 
• 
Primary mechanism for reporting SAEs to GSK will be the electronic data collection 
tool 
• 
If the electronic system is unavailable for greater than 24 hours, the site will use the 
paper SAE data collection tool and fax it to the Medical Monitor or the SAE 
coordinator. 
• 
Site will enter the serious adverse event data into the electronic system as soon as it 
becomes available. 
• 
After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool (e.g., 
InForm system) will be taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to 
existing data. 
• 
If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study subject or receives updated data 
on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been taken 
off-line, the site can report this information on a paper SAE form or to the Medical 
Monitor or the SAE coordinator by telephone. 
• 
Contacts for SAE receipt can be found at the beginning of this protocol on the 
Sponsor/Medical Monitor Contact Information page.

[Sampson, 2006]. The criteria do not make a distinction based on underlying mechanism. 
These criteria are summarized as follows: 
7) Acute onset of an illness (minutes to several hours) with involvement of the skin, 
mucosal tissue, or both (e.g., generalized hives, pruritus or flushing, swollen lips-
tongue-uvula), and at least one of the following: 
e) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, 
reduced PEF, hypoxemia)  
f) Reduced BP or associated symptoms of end-organ dysfunction (e.g., 
hypotonia [collapse], syncope, incontinence) 
8) Two or more of the following that occur rapidly after exposure to a likely allergen 
for that patient (minutes to several hours): 
i) Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue (e.g., generalized hives, itch-flush, 
swollen lips-tongue-uvula) 
j) Respiratory compromise (e.g., dyspnea, wheeze-bronchospasm, stridor, 
reduced PEF, hypoxemia) 
k) Reduced BP or associated symptoms (e.g., hypotonia [collapse], syncope, 
incontinence) 
l) Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., crampy abdominal pain, vomiting) 
9) Reduced BP after exposure to known allergen for that patient (minutes to several 
hours): 
e) Infants and children: low systolic BP (age specific) or greater than 30% 
decrease in systolic BP 
f) Adults: systolic BP of less than 90 mm Hg or greater than 30% decrease from 
that person’s baseline

Rationale: It is recognised that there may be occasions when physicians 
may want to administer another biological therapy for a condition other than 
EGPA while a patient is being treated with mepolizumab.  The GSK Medical 
Monitor will need to assess each drug’s safety profile and any potential 
safety concern with the combination and thus as a precaution, use of another 
biologic therapy in addition to mepolizumab will require approval from the 
GSK Medical Monitor.  In addition, the treating physician will be asked to 
take measures to separate administration of another biological therapy as 
long as possible from administration of mepolizumab.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this reporting and analysis plan (RAP) is to describe the analyses and
planned outputs to be included in the Clinical Study Report for the Long-term Access 
Programme (LAP) for mepolizumab in EGPA. The LAP comprises a clinical trial 
(MEA116841) and compassionate use programme (201607).  This document also 
describes the planned outputs to be included in periodic interim analyses, conducted after 
the effective date of this RAP, as appropriate
This RAP is based on MEA116841 study protocol amendment 4 issued 18-Jun-2019
(GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 2014N201870_04) and has been amended 
following the previous RAP version which has been used to provide the analyses required 
for the previous Interim Clinical Study Report (ICSRs).
The clinical data base for the LAP consists of the following subjects:

Subjects recruited into study MEA116841

Subjects recruited as part of the named patient supply guidance program 201607
Available data from the above subjects will be included in the analyses specified in this 
RAP. Combined summaries will be produced from the clinical trial data base for 
MEA116841 and the NPS guidance program.

STUDY POPULATION ANALYSES
6.1.
Overview of Planned Study Population Analyses
The study population analyses will be based on the Safety population.
Study population analyses including analyses of subject’s disposition, protocol 
deviations, demographic and baseline characteristics, prior and concomitant medications, 
and exposure and treatment compliance will be based on GSK Core Data Standards.  
Details of the planned displays are presented in Appendix 7: List of Data Displays.

SAFETY ANALYSES
The safety analyses will be based on the Safety population, unless otherwise specified.
The LAP comprises a clinical trial (MEA116841) and compassionate use programme 
(201607) restricted to subjects who participated in MEA115921. The compassionate use 
programme (CUP) was conducted under a guidance document which mirrored the 
objectives of MEA116841. Since 201607 was run as a CUP, the treating physician was 
the responsible party. Per local legal requirements, serious adverse event reporting was 
required at a minimum. Furthermore, GSK did not monitor CUP 201607, and therefore 
verification that all non-serious adverse events (AEs) were reported is not possible.
For this reason, summaries of adverse events are reported separately for MEA116841 and 
201607, with the exception of serious adverse events, which are additionally reported 
using combined MEA116841 and 201607 data.
7.1.
Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA) coding dictionary. Classification of an AE as pre-, on- or post-treatment will 
be made with reference to the study treatment start and stop date/time and the AE onset 
date/time. If the AE onset date is missing or partial then the AE will be considered on-
treatment unless there is evidence to the contrary (e.g. the month of the onset date is 
present and is less than the month of the first dose of study medication). AEs with onset 
up to 4 weeks after the last dose of treatment will be considered on-treatment. AEs with 
onset after this period will be considered post-treatment but will be assigned to the 
treatment previously received. 
Any SAEs for screen failures, run-in failures or subjects who were enrolled but did not 
receive treatment will be classified as pre-treatment SAEs. 
The most frequent on-treatment AEs will be defined as AEs with frequency ≥3% in any 
treatment group.
7.2.
Adverse Events of Special Interest
The following Adverse Events of Special Interest in mepolizumab clinical development 
have been defined:

Systemic Allergic/Hypersensitivity and Non-allergic Reactions 

Local injection site reactions

Alteration in immune response (infections)

Alteration in immune response (malignancies)

Alteration in cardiovascular safety

Immunogenicity
The methods by which these events will be identified are detailed in the Program Safety 
Analysis Plan for Mepolizumab (PSAP), version 5 (effective 1-Apr-2019), Section 10.3.2

Drug Related AEs
AEs with relationship marked ‘YES’.
AEs Leading to Permanent Discontinuation from Study Treatment or Withdrawal from the Study 
AEs with action marked “Study treatment withdrawn” or withdrawn from study status marked 
“YES”, or a response to either of these questions is missing.
AEs on Day of Dosing
AEs with an onset date equal to a study treatment dosing date and an onset time on or after the 
study treatment dosing time.
AE Time Since First Dose

If AE onset time is missing, calculate in days as follows:-
o
If AE start date < Date of first dose of study treatment then 
Time since first dose = AE start date - Date of first dose of study treatment 
o
If AE start date ≥ Date of first dose of study treatment then 
Time since first dose = AE start date – Date of first dose of study treatment +1
o
Missing if AE start date or date of first dose of study treatment is missing.

If AE onset time is present, calculate in days, hours, minutes as 
Time since first dose = AE start date/time – Date/time of first dose of study 
treatment 


CONFIDENTIAL

AE Duration (Days)

If AE onset time is missing, calculate in days as
AE end date – AE start date + 1

If AE onset time is present, calculate in days, hours and minutes as
AE end date/time – AE start date/time

Missing if AE start date or end date is missing.

Handling of Missing Data
Element
Reporting Detail
General

Missing data occurs when any requested data is not provided, leading to blank 
fields on the collection instrument :
o
These data will be indicated by the use of a “blank” in subject listing 
displays. Unless all data for a specific visit are missing in which case the 
data is excluded from the table. 
o
Answers such as “Not applicable” and “Not evaluable” are not 
considered to be missing data and should be displayed as such.
9.5.2.1.
Handling of Missing and Partial Dates
Element
Reporting Detail
Adverse 
Events

Completely missing start or end dates will remain missing, with no imputation 
applied.  Consequently, time to onset and duration of such events with be 
missing.

The eCRF allows for the possibility of partial dates (i.e., only month and year) to 
be recorded for AE start and end dates; that is, the day of the month may be 
missing. In such a case, the following conventions will be applied for calculating 
the time to onset and the duration of the event:
o
Missing Start Day: First of the month will be used unless this is before 
the start date of study treatment; in this case the study treatment start 
date will be used and hence the event is considered On-treatment as 
per Appendix 2: Treatment States and Phases.
o
Missing Stop Day: Last day of the month will be used, unless this is 
after the stop date of study treatment; in this case the study treatment 
stop date will be used.

The recorded partial date will be displayed in listings.
Concomitant 
medications

Partial dates for any concomitant medications recorded in the CRF will be 
imputed using the following convention:
o
If the partial date is a start date, a '01' will be used for the day and 'Jan' 
will be used for the month
o
If the partial date is a stop date, a '28/29/30/31' will be used for the day 
(dependent on the month and year) and 'Dec' will be used for the 
month.

The recorded partial date will be displayed in listings.
