PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
1.1. Synopsis 
Protocol Title: A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Active Reference, Double-blind, 
Double-dummy Study in Japanese Female Participants to Evaluate the Efficacy and 
Safety of Gepotidacin in the Treatment of Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection (Acute 
Cystitis) 
Brief Title: A study to investigate the efficacy and safety with gepotidacin in Japanese 
female participants with uncomplicated urinary tract infection (acute cystitis); Efficacy of 
Antibacterial Gepotidacin Evaluated in Japan (EAGLE-J) 
Rationale: 
Urinary tract infections (UTIs; acute cystitis) are very common, with approximately 11% 
of women (greater than 18 years of age) reporting at least 1 episode of acute 
uncomplicated cystitis per year. Of these, half will experience more than 1 recurrent 
episode over their lifetime [Foxman, 2000]. The peak incidence of acute cystitis occurs in 
young, sexually active women ages 18 to 29 years [Fihn, 2003]. The predominant 
uropathogen isolated in community-acquired UTIs is Escherichia coli (E. coli; 75% to 
90%) followed by Staphylococcus saprophyticus (5% to 15%). Multidrug resistance, 
which is typically associated with nosocomial infections, has emerged at the community 
level and has made treatment approaches for UTIs more difficult. Furthermore, extended 
spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (now recognized as 
Enterobacterales), which includes E. coli, is recognized as a serious threat. 
In Japan, published epidemiology studies reporting the incidence of UTIs are limited 
[Kusama, 2021; Sako, 2021], but the disease thought to be common infectious disease 
[Takahashi, 2022]. Most patients suffering from acute uncomplicated cystitis are sexually 
active women as shown in outside of Japan [Yamamoto, 2017]. The predominant 
uropathogens isolated from patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis are E coli 
(approximately 70%) followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, S. 
saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis which are observed in only 3% to 5% [Wada, 
2021]. In Japan as well, the resistance rate of ESBL-producing bacteria has been 
increased [Hayami, 2013; Hayami, 2019; Wada, 2021], and similarly increasing global 
rates of MDR bacteria may elevate the likelihood of MDR associated UTI infections 
becoming more common [Arcilla, 2017; Hassing, 2015]. There is an unmet medical need 
for new therapeutic agents that exhibit strong antibacterial activity against such bacteria 
[Kusama, 2021; Nakagawa, 2021]. 
Gepotidacin is a first-in-class, novel triazaacenaphthylene bacterial type II topoisomerase 
inhibitor. The microbiological spectrum of activity of gepotidacin includes E. coli, S. 
saprophyticus, and E. faecalis. This Phase III study aims to assess the consistency of 
therapeutic response (combined per-participant microbiological and clinical response) of 
gepotidacin observed in this study with global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390).

Primary estimand 
The primary estimand is described by the following attributes: 
• 
Population: Japanese and non-Japanese (from Studies 204989 and 212390) female 
participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis who have qualifying uropathogen(s) at 
Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin. 
• 
Treatment condition: Gepotidacin 1500 mg twice daily (BID) for 5 days in this study 
versus gepotidacin 1500 mg BID for 5 days in the global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) regardless of adherence. 
• 
Variable: Therapeutic response (combined per-participant microbiological and 
clinical response) at the TOC Visit. Microbiological success is defined as eradication 
(i.e. reduction) of all qualifying bacterial uropathogens recovered at baseline to <103 
colony-forming units/mL (CFU/mL) as observed on quantitative urine culture 
without the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials. Clinical success is 
defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis present at Baseline (and 
no new signs and symptoms) without the participant receiving other systemic 
antimicrobials.  
• 
Summary measure: Comparison of the proportion of Japanese participants achieving 
therapeutic success in this study with 10%tile of the predicted distribution for the 
proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success in this study derived from 
the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) under the assumption of consistency 
• 
Intercurrent events (ICEs):  
• 
Study treatment discontinuation (due to any reason) – treatment policy strategy 
(interest is in the treatment effect regardless of study treatment discontinuation)

• Use of systemic antimicrobials – composite strategy. This ICE is captured through 
the definitions of microbiological and clinical response (see Section 8.1.2.1 and 
8.1.3.1) 
The secondary estimands are provided in the Section 3.  
Overall Design: 
• Study 214144 is a Phase III randomized, multicentre, active reference, double-blind, 
double-dummy study in adolescent and adult Japanese female participants to evaluate 
the efficacy and safety of gepotidacin. The primary objective is to assess consistency 
of this study with global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) for therapeutic 
response of gepotidacin. 
• The study duration will be approximately 28 days with 4 visits. 
• Participants will be stratified by age category (≤50 years, or >50 years) and acute 
uncomplicated cystitis recurrence (recurrent or nonrecurrent) and will be randomly 
assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive either oral gepotidacin or oral nitrofurantoin (active 
reference). 
Brief Summary: 
The purpose of this study is to assess consistency of this study with global studies 
(Studies 204989 and 212390) for therapeutic response of gepotidacin at TOC Visit.  
Study details include: 
• Participants will receive treatment for 5 days according to their randomized treatment 
and assessed as follows: 
• Appropriate safety, clinical and microbiological assessments will be 
conducted at the Baseline (Day 1) Visit and repeated at the On-therapy (Day 2 
to 4), TOC (Day 10 to 13), and Follow-up (Day 28 ± 3) Visits. 
 
 
 
 
• For the primary efficacy endpoint of therapeutic response (combined per 
participant microbiological and clinical response), therapeutic success refers 
to participants who have been deemed both a microbiological success 
(reduction of all qualifying bacterial uropathogens [e.g., ≥105 colony-forming 
units/mL (CFU/mL)] recovered at Baseline to <103 CFU/mL as observed on 
quantitative urine culture without the participant receiving other systemic 
antimicrobials) and a clinical success (resolution of signs and symptoms of 
acute cystitis present at Baseline [and no new signs and symptoms] without 
the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials) at the TOC Visit in the 
Microbiological Intent-to-Treat Nitrofurantoin-Susceptible (micro-ITT NTF-
S) Population defined in Section 8.1.3, regardless of treatment 
discontinuation.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
• PK samples will be collected in all participants for analysis at the Baseline 
(postdose) and the On-therapy Visits (predose and postdose). 
Number of Participants: 
Approximately 300 participants will be enrolled to obtain approximately 108 Japanese 
females (adolescent and adults) ≥12 years meeting the eligibility criteria with qualifying 
uropathogen(s) at Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin (micro-ITT NTF-S 
Population). Enrolment will continue until the approximate target number of participants 
in the micro-ITT NTF-S Population has been reached. This study will be conducted at 
multiple sites in Japan. 
Note: Enrolled means a participant's, or their legally acceptable representative’s, 
agreement to participate in a clinical study following completion of the informed consent 
process. Potential participants who are screened for the purpose of determining eligibility 
for the study, but do not participate in the study, are not considered enrolled, unless 
otherwise specified by the protocol. A participant will be considered enrolled if the 
informed consent is not withdrawn prior to participating in any study activity after 
screening.  
Intervention Groups and Duration: 
Participants will be stratified by age category and acute uncomplicated cystitis recurrence 
(recurrent or nonrecurrent). Recurrence is defined as a confirmed infection [not including 
the current infection in the calculation] with at least 1 prior episode within the past 3 
months, at least 2 prior episodes within the past 6 months, or at least 3 prior episodes 
within the past 12 months before study entry). Participants will be randomly assigned in a 
3:1 ratio to receive either oral gepotidacin or oral nitrofurantoin as follows: 
• Gepotidacin: 1500 mg administered orally BID for 5 days 
• Nitrofurantoin: 100 mg administered orally BID for 5 days 
Note: each dose of gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin should be taken after food consumption 
and with water. 
The duration of study participation is approximately 28 days with 4 planned study visits: 
• Baseline (Day 1) Visit 
• On-therapy (Day 2 to 4) Visit 
• TOC (Day 10 to 13) Visit 
• Follow-up (Day 28±3) Visit 
 
Data Monitoring/ Other Committee: A GlaxoSmithKline Safety Review Team will 
monitor blinded safety data, while a Microbiology Review Team will monitor blinded 
microbiological data instream.

INTRODUCTION 
Gepotidacin (GSK2140944), a novel triazaacenaphthylene bacterial type II 
topoisomerase inhibitor, is being developed for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary 
tract infections (UTIs; acute cystitis). Gepotidacin has activity versus key pathogens, 
including drug-resistant strains associated with a range of conventional and biothreat 
infections. The microbiological spectrum of activity of gepotidacin includes Escherichia 
coli, the key causative pathogen of acute uncomplicated cystitis, Staphylococcus 
saprophyticus, and Enterococcus faecalis.  
Gepotidacin selectively inhibits bacterial DNA replication by interacting in a unique way 
on the GyrA subunit of bacterial DNA gyrase and the ParC subunit of bacterial 
topoisomerase IV. This interaction appears to be highly specific to bacterial 
topoisomerases as evidenced by weak in vitro inhibition of human topoisomerase IIα, 
supporting the selective activity of gepotidacin against the bacterial target. The novel 
mode of action of this new class antibacterial affords in vitro activity against most target 
pathogens resistant to established antibacterials, including fluoroquinolones. 
2.1. Study Rationale 
This study is being conducted based on the need to establish new and effective oral 
antimicrobial treatment options for acute uncomplicated cystitis, as such therapies are 
becoming limited due to the increase of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens and 
extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacterales pathogens, which 
are impacting the efficacy of currently available oral antibacterial treatment options (see 
Section 2.2).  
Two Phase II studies were conducted and the results demonstrated that gepotidacin was 
effective in the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea and acute bacterial skin 
and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) (see investigator’s brochure [IB] for details). In 
addition, a Phase IIa pharmacokinetic (PK) study (206899) was conducted in 22 female 
participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis that also included exploratory clinical and 
microbiological efficacy objectives. All 22 participants were evaluated for PK and 
clinical efficacy analysis. Of the 22 participants, 19 participants (86%) and 18 
participants (82%) achieved symptom resolution at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) and Follow-
up Visits, respectively. Eight of 22 participants (36%) who received at least 1 dose of 
gepotidacin had a qualifying baseline uropathogen (5 with E. coli isolates, 1 with a S. 
saprophyticus isolate, 1 with a Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate, and 1 with a Citrobacter 
koseri isolate). Of these 8 participants, 7 participants (88%) and 6 participants (75%) had 
a microbiological response of microbiological success (<103 colony-forming units/mL 
[CFU/mL]) at the TOC and Follow-up Visits, respectively. Furthermore, of these 8 
participants, 6 participants (75%) and 5 participants (63%) had a therapeutic response 
(combined per-participant microbiological and clinical response) of success at the TOC 
and Follow-up Visits, respectively. Refer to the IB for PK, safety, and additional efficacy 
results. 
Global Phase III studies (204989 and 212390) are being conducted aiming to evaluate the 
therapeutic response (combined microbiological and clinical efficacy per participant) of

oral gepotidacin compared to oral Nitrofurantoin for acute uncomplicated cystitis in 
adolescent and adult female participants.  
The purpose of this Phase III study (214144) is to assess the consistency of therapeutic 
response (combined per-participant microbiological and clinical response) of gepotidacin 
observed in this study with global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). 
2.2. Background 
2.2.1. 
Urinary Tract Infection 
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are very common, with approximately 11% of women 
>18 years of age experiencing at least 1 episode of acute uncomplicated cystitis per year 
[Foxman, 2000]. Of these, half will experience more than 1 recurrent episode over their 
lifetime [Foxman, 2000]. The peak incidence of acute uncomplicated cystitis occurs in 
young, sexually active women ages 18 to 29 years [Fihn, 2003]. The predominant 
uropathogens isolated in community-acquired UTIs are E. coli (75% to 90%) followed by 
S. saprophyticus (5% to 15%) [Stamm, 1993; Talan, 2000; Foxman, 2010]. Klebsiella, 
Enterobacter, Proteus species, and enterococci are observed in only 5% to 10% of acute 
uncomplicated cystitis [Stamm, 1993; Talan, 2000; Foxman, 2010]. 
In Japan, published epidemiology studies reporting the incidence of UTIs are limited 
[Kusama, 2021; Sako, 2021], but the disease thought to be common infectious disease 
[Takahashi, 2022]. Most patients suffering from acute uncomplicated cystitis are sexually 
active women as shown in overseas [Yamamoto, 2017]. The predominant uropathogens 
isolated from patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis are E. coli (approximately 70%) 
followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, S. saprophyticus, 
Enterococcus faecalis which are observed in only 3% to 5% [Wada, 2021]. 
2.2.2. 
Multidrug resistance in UTI 
Multidrug resistance, which is typically associated with nosocomial infections, has now 
emerged at the community level and has made treatment approaches for UTIs more 
difficult [Hooton, 2012; Flamm, 2014; Sanchez, 2016]. This has led to increasing patient 
morbidity, increasing costs due to reassessment and retreatment, higher rates of 
hospitalization, and increased use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials [Foxman, 2002; 
Gupta, 2011a; Hooton, 2012]. Furthermore, ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (now 
recognized as Enterobacterales), which includes E. coli, is recognized as a serious threat 
by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [CDC, 2019] and drug-
resistant Enterobacteriaceae is a critical priority pathogen for the World Health 
Organization (WHO) [WHO, 2017]. The availability of oral antimicrobials that are 
effective against ESBL producers is limited and, for some outpatient infections, no oral 
options remain. 
An in vitro evaluation of antimicrobial resistance of urinary E. coli isolates 
(n=12,253,679) among US outpatients between 2000 and 2010 was conducted using The 
Surveillance Network and found significant increases in the percentage of E. coli that 
were resistant to ciprofloxacin (3% to 17.1%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-
SXT) (17.9% to 24.2%), whereas there were minimal changes in the percentage of 


TMF-15095845 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
 
214144 
 
 
 
 
19 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
resistance to nitrofurantoin (0.8% to 1.6%) and ceftriaxone (0.2% to 2.3%) over time 
[Sanchez, 2012]. Another surveillance study, which looked at US susceptibility patterns 
and ESBL rates of E. coli from UTIs, showed an increase in ESBL rates from 7.8% to 
18.3% (p<0.0001) from 2010 to 2014 [Lob, 2016]. The expansion of ESBL-producing E. 
coli, which are usually co-resistant to TMP-SXT and fluoroquinolones, is of urgent 
concern globally as well [Oteo, 2010]. Recent global surveillance data of E. coli showed 
high resistance rates to third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones in all 6 
WHO regions [WHO, 2014]. An evaluation of the prevalence and susceptibility of acute 
uncomplicated cystitis pathogens in 9 European countries and Brazil from 2003 to 2006 
showed that >10% of E. coli strains were MDR and 1.7% were ESBL producers [Schito, 
2009]. A separate study in Brazil reported the prevalence of 7.6% ESBL-producing 
Enterobacterales among pathogens from community-acquired UTIs [Abreu, 2013]. In 
China, the prevalence of ESBLs in urinary E. coli in women ranged from 5% to 10.6% 
depending on the age group [Ho, 2007]. 
Based on these resistant pathogen trends, guidelines for acute uncomplicated cystitis now 
recommend first-line antimicrobial treatment with nitrofurantoin, TMP-SXT, fosfomycin, 
or pivmecillinam, assuming the drug is available, and the patient does not have a 
concerning allergy history or tolerance issues [Gupta, 2011b]. Trimethoprim-
sulfamethoxazole should not be used as a first-line treatment if the prevalence of 
resistance exceeds the 20% threshold or if TMP-SXT was used for the treatment of a UTI 
in the previous 3 months. If any of these are concerns for a patient, then fluoroquinolones 
or β-lactams are recommended. 
In Japan, fluoroquinolone-resistant bacteria and ESBL-producing bacteria have been 
paying attention as well. In early 2000, quinolone-resistant strains were rarely isolated in 
acute uncomplicated cystitis, but gradually increased, and the resistance rate of E. coli 
was reported to be 15.6% in a recent study [Wada, 2021]. ESBL-producing bacteria were 
originally regarded as one of the pathogens of nosocomial infections, and were rarely a 
problem in pathological conditions such as acute uncomplicated cystitis previously, 
however in recent years, ESBL-producing E. coli could be detected at approximately 
9.5% [Wada, 2021]. 
In Japan, the treatment recommendations of antimicrobials for acute uncomplicated 
cystitis differ between premenopausal and postmenopausal women. This is because the 
frequency of isolation of Gram-positive cocci is low and isolated E. coli shows a high 
rate of fluoroquinolone resistance in postmenopausal women, compared with 
premenopausal women. The Japanese therapeutic guideline recommends that 
fluoroquinolones should be used as the first-line treatment for acute uncomplicated 
cystitis in premenopausal women if tested positive by urinalysis for Gram-positive cocci, 
but should not be used if tested positive for Gram-negative rods [Yamamoto, 2017]. For 
these women, the guideline recommends using cephalosporins, or penicillins with β-
Lactamase inhibitor (BLI). For postmenopausal women, on the other hand, the guideline 
recommends selecting cephalosporins or penicillins with BLI as the first-line treatment 
because of a high proportion of fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates for the major 
uropathogen E. coli in acute uncomplicated cystitis. However, when Gram-positive cocci 
have been detected in a urine test, fluoroquinolones are recommended. Since ESBL-
producing strains are frequently resistant to fluoroquinolones, fosfomycin and faropenem

are recommended in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women if their 
uropathogen(s) are ESBL-producing strains [Yamamoto, 2017]. 
ESBL-producing E. coli has been spreading rapidly and worldwide, with extremely high 
detection rates in some areas [Doi, 2013; Flamm, 2014]. In current global society, there 
are no borders in the transmission of bacteria, and anyone can be a carrier of ESBL-
producing bacteria and MDR bacteria [Arcilla, 2017; Hassing, 2015]. In fact, the 
resistance rate of ESBL-producing E. coli has been gradually increased in Japan 
[Hayami, 2013; Hayami, 2019; Wada, 2021], and similarly increasing global rates of 
MDR bacteria may elevate the likelihood of MDR associated UTI infections becoming 
more common in Japan. In addition, National action plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 
was established [The Government of Japan, 2016]. There is an unmet medical need for 
new therapeutic agents that exhibit strong antibacterial activity against such bacteria 
[Kusama, 2021; Nakagawa, 2021]. 
2.2.3. 
Gepotidacin in acute uncomplicated cystitis treatment 
Gepotidacin is a first-in-class, novel triazaacenaphthylene antibacterial compound that 
has demonstrated in vitro activity against uropathogens including E. coli (see the IB for 
details) and provides high and sustained urine concentrations for the treatment of UTIs. 
With its unique ability to selectively inhibit bacterial DNA replication by a means not 
utilized by any currently approved human therapeutic agent, gepotidacin warrants further 
study as a potential opportunity to address an unmet medical need by providing a new 
and effective oral treatment option for acute uncomplicated cystitis. 
A detailed description of the chemistry, pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of 
gepotidacin is provided in the IB.  
2.3. Benefit/Risk Assessment 
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and 
reasonably expected adverse events (AEs) of gepotidacin may be found in the IB. 
And those of nitorofrantoin may be found in the package insert.

Gepotidacin (GSK2140944) 
Cardiovascular Effects 
Based on nonclinical data, cardiovascular effects 
were reversible increase in heart rate and blood 
pressure (dog and monkey); reversible 10 to 21 
msec (4% to 9%) increase in QTc (monkey); and at 
the highest dose, a reversible 2 to 3 msec (6% to 
8%) increase in QRS (monkey). 
Based on a thorough QTc clinical study, gepotidacin 
may cause mild, reversible heart rate effects and QT 
prolongation. 
In a thorough QTc study, infusion of gepotidacin at 
doses of 1000 and 1800 mg over 2 hours caused a 
mild increased heart rate effect of approximately 6 to 
10 bpm and QT prolongation measured as ∆∆QTcF 
of 12 to 22 msec. The QT prolongation evolved 
during the infusion and was quickly reversed over 2 
hours after the end of the infusion (see the IB for 
details). 
In Phase I studies, concentration-dependent QT 
prolongation has been observed during clinical trials 
with gepotidacin; however, this increase has not 
translated into clinically significant QTc values or 
changes from baseline (change from baseline 
>60 msec or QTcF >500 msec) or cardiovascular 
AEs.  
In Phase I and II studies, gepotidacin did not have a 
clinically relevant effect on cardiac conduction (PR 
and QRS intervals). 
Although there appears to be a trend to higher 
gepotidacin systemic exposure in healthy Japanese 
compared to Western subjects, the higher systemic 
exposure of gepotidacin observed in Japanese 
subjects is currently considered to be within the 
tolerable range and not associated with any 
cardiovascular safety concerns. 
See Section 5.2 for excluded cardiac conditions. 
Close monitoring of clinical parameters and AEs 
(Section 1.3) will be conducted, and treatment 
monitoring and evaluation criteria (Section 7.1.2) will 
be utilized to mitigate cardiovascular effects. 
Participants taking medications known to increase 
QT or potent CYP3A4 inhibitors will be excluded 
(see Section 6.8.2).

the glandular mucosa in stomach (rat, oral study); 
moderate cecal ulceration and minimal colonic 
erosion (rat, IV study); and vomiting (dog). 
Lower gastrointestinal effects (soft stools, flatulence, 
and diarrhea) are among the most common AEs 
reported in gepotidacin clinical studies. Nausea and 
vomiting AEs have also been commonly observed in 
gepotidacin clinical studies. 
Clostridioides difficile and C. difficile-associated 
diarrhea has been observed in clinical trials with 
gepotidacin. 
Suspected C. difficile infection will be managed 
according to a prespecified algorithm provided in 
10.7. 
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition 
In vitro testing showed gepotidacin to be a rapidly 
reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase in the 
clinical plasma concentration range. 
 
Based on clinical data, caution should be used in 
participants who have a condition requiring 
treatment with anticholinergic medications or who 
have certain medical conditions that may be 
exacerbated by the acetylcholinesterase inhibition 
activity of gepotidacin. 
Increased cholinergic effects can potentially be 
associated with more severe symptoms including 
atrioventricular block, seizure/convulsions, 
bronchospasm, and vasovagal syncope. No causal 
relationship between these events and the use of 
gepotidacin has been established during clinical 
trials to date. 
 
Adverse events consistent with acetylcholinesterase 
inhibition, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, 
gastrointestinal cramping and pain, dyspnea, 
bradycardia, lacrimation, salivation, dysarthria, and 
diaphoresis/sweating have been reported during 
clinical trials with gepotidacin.  
Mild and transient non-gastrointestinal AEs have 
been associated with Cmax levels higher than this 
dosing regimen. 
Participants who have medical conditions or require 
medications that may be impacted by inhibition of 
acetylcholinesterase will be excluded from 
participation in this study. See Section 5.2 for 
excluded medical conditions and Section 6.8.2, 
Prohibited Medications and Nondrug Therapies, for 
prohibited medications. 
Close monitoring of clinical parameters and AEs will 
be conducted to assess effects potentially related to 
acetylcholinesterase inhibition (Section 1.3). 
Hepatic Effects 
In preclinical studies, increases in ALT, GLDH, 
alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin were 
observed in some rat studies of varying exposure. 
Elevations in ALT have occurred in a few 
participants with pre-existing hepatitis C infection, 
but none were felt related to study treatment. The 
type and pattern of elevation in liver transaminases 
observed has not been suggestive of an adverse 
effect of gepotidacin and none were considered 
related to study treatment. 
Participants with severe hepatic impairment are 
excluded from Phase III trials. See Section 5.2 for 
excluded medical conditions. Monitoring and 
stopping criteria liver events have been 
implemented.

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance 
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
Mitigation Strategy 
A substantial increase in Cmax and AUC and 
decrease in clearance was observed in volunteer 
participants with severe hepatic impairment. 
Renal Effects 
In preclinical trials, mild to moderate tubular 
degeneration was noted in the rat and proteinuria in 
the dog. Proteinuria was also observed in humans. 
No clinical evidence of renal toxicity has been seen 
in clinical trials to date. 
A substantial increase in Cmax and AUC and 
decrease in clearance was observed in severe renal 
impairment/ESRD participants not on hemodialysis 
and in ESRD participants requiring hemodialysis 
(note: gepotidacin may have been administered at 
any time other than when receiving dialysis). 
Participants with severe renal impairment/ESRD 
(including those who may require dialysis) are 
excluded from Phase III trials. See Section 5.2 for 
excluded medical conditions. Monitoring criteria 
have been implemented. 
Reproductive System Effects 
Preclinical studies demonstrated that gepotidacin 
was not genotoxic and no drug related 
malformations were observed. Although positive in 
vitro findings for clastogenicity, consistent with a 
mechanism related to mammalian topoisomerase II 
inhibition were found, in vivo data from rat 
micronucleus and COMET assays suggest that 
gepotidacin does not pose a genotoxic hazard to 
humans. 
Gepotidacin effects on embryofetal development 
were limited to decreased fetal weights for male and 
female fetuses in rats and decreased fetal weights 
and increased fetal resorptions (fetal deaths) in 
mice, both at maternally toxic doses.These occurred 
at clinically relevant exposure (65 µg.h/mL in rat and 
35µg.h/mL in mouse). 
There are no data on the use of gepotidacin in 
pregnant women. 
Gepotidacin is not recommended in pregnant or 
nursing mothers. Pregnancy testing requirements in 
this study minimize the risk of exposure to a fetus. 
See 10.4 for contraceptive measures and Section 
8.2.5 for required pregnancy testing.

to oral nitrofurantoin treatment are nausea (8%),

Mitigation Strategy 
headache (6%), and flatulence (1.5%). As with 
gepotidacin, there is also a need to monitor for C. 
difficile-associated diarrhea during nitrofurantoin 
treatment.  
Nitrofurantoin is contraindicated for patients with 
anuria, oliguria, or significant impairment of renal 
function; pregnant patients at term (38 to 42 weeks’ 
gestation), during labor and delivery, or when the 
onset of labor is imminent; neonates under 1 month 
of age; and patients with a previous history of 
cholestatic jaundice/hepatic dysfunction associated 
with nitrofurantoin. 
Rare adverse reactions that generally occur in 
patients receiving treatment for 6 months or longer 
are acute, subacute, or chronic pulmonary reactions, 
with potential insidious development of chronic 
pulmonary reactions (diffuse interstitial pneumonitis 
or pulmonary fibrosis, or both).  
Peripheral neuropathy has occurred, which may be 
enhanced for patients with renal impairment, 
anemia, diabetes mellitus, electrolyte imbalance, 
vitamin B deficiency, and debilitating disease. 
Nitrofurantoin has induced the occurrence of 
hemolytic anemia of the primaquine sensitivity type, 
which appear to be linked to a glucose-6-phosphate 
dehydrogenase deficiency in the red blood cells of 
the affected patients.  
monitoring and evaluation criteria (Section 7.1.1) will 
be utilized to mitigate hepatic effects. 
Because planned treatment in this study is only 5 
days, the probability for adverse reactions 
associated with long-term use is low. 
The exclusion criteria for this study include 
contraindications to nitrofurantoin use and exclude 
participants at risk for nitrofurantoin adverse 
reactions, including acute porphyria as an example 
of a rare genetic risk (see Section 5.2).  
Participants with a history of sensitivity to 
nitrofurantoin, or components thereof, will not be 
allowed to enroll in the study (Section 5.2). 
Participant’s medical history will be carefully 
evaluated for history of hypersensitivity. 
Participants must agree not to use antacid 
preparations containing magnesium trisilicate or 
uricosuric drugs during study treatment (see Section 
5.2). 
Suspected C. difficile infection will be managed 
according to a prespecified algorithm provided in 
10.7. 
Precautions related to nitrofurantoin are summarized 
in detail in the Study Reference Manual.

Hepatic reactions, including hepatitis, cholestatic 
jaundice, chronic active hepatitis, and hepatic 
necrosis, occur rarely. 
Concomitant administration of nitrofurantoin with 
antacids containing magnesium trisilicate reduces 
both the rate and extent of absorption, and 
uricosuric drugs, such as probenecid and 
sulfinpyrazone, can inhibit renal tubular secretion of 
nitrofurantoin.

Benefit Assessment 
Acute uncomplicated cystitis is among the most common indications for which 
antimicrobials are prescribed for otherwise healthy women [Gupta, 2011b]. The increase 
in antimicrobial resistance among pathogens causing community-acquired UTIs over the 
past 2 decades has made treatment approaches for UTIs more difficult. Rising incidences 
of Anti-microbial Resistance and MDR represent a pressing and growing public health 
issue in both Japan and the rest of the world. There are limited options currently available 
for treating infections with MDR organisms. Merely a few antimicrobials with new 
mechanisms and no cross resistance to other antimicrobials are in clinical development at 
this time. 
Gepotidacin is active in vitro and in vivo against the key causative pathogen in acute 
uncomplicated cystitis, E. coli, including most isolates resistant to other antibacterial 
treatments. Given gepotidacin’s spectrum of activity against E. coli, S. saprophyticus, and 
E. faecalis, as well as human safety data and the PK profile, it is anticipated that 
gepotidacin will benefit participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis. 
The active reference in this study is nitrofurantoin, a marketed antimicrobial in several 
global markets including the US and EU for the treatment of acute uncomplicated UTIs 
(acute cystitis) caused by susceptible strains of E. coli or S. saprophyticus as a first-line 
therapy with high efficacy and good tolerability dosed for 5 days or longer. Although 
nitrofurantoin is not approved in Japan, it was a marketed antimicrobial in Japan until 
1990 and has shown efficacy in Japanese patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis and 
had no clinically significant safety issues [Tsunoda, 1970; Ookita, 1970; Tofukuji,1970]. 
Participants randomly assigned to this treatment group are also expected to experience 
treatment benefits.  
Overall, all participants in this study will not only receive routine medical monitoring 
appropriate for acute uncomplicated cystitis, but they will also receive heightened 
monitoring to minimize safety risks when participating in a clinical study. 
 
2.3.3. 
Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion 
Antimicrobial resistance among uropathogens causing acute uncomplicated cystitis has 
increased in the past decades [Gupta, 2011b; Sanchez, 2016]. However, despite of 
increasing drug resistance to existing agents, few new antimicrobials with novel 
mechanisms of action are being developed. Gepotidacin selectively inhibits bacterial 
DNA replication by a means not utilized by any currently approved human therapeutic 
agent. Based on the known preclinical data for gepotidacin against E. coli, S. 
saprophyticus, and E. faecalis, the Phase II results showing the effective treatment of 
uncomplicated urogenital gonorrhea and ABSSSIs, Phase IIa results indicating efficacy 
in acute uncomplicated cystitis, and the cumulative safety results from Phase I and Phase 
II studies with oral gepotidacin treatment, this study will assess the consistency of this 
study with global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) for the therapeutic response 
(combined microbiological and clinical efficacy per participant) of oral gepotidacin.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
None of the potential or identified risks seen to date in participants dosed with 
gepotidacin preclude further clinical development. Mitigation strategies have been 
implemented to promptly identify and appropriately address risks to protect participant 
safety and to better characterize the safety profile of the study treatments (Section 2.3.1). 
Furthermore, a GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Safety Review Team (SRT) will monitor 
blinded safety data in stream (see 10.1). Careful safety monitoring should also identify 
any emerging safety issues for gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin.  
The investigator may also, at his or her discretion, discontinue the participant from study 
treatment at any time and initiate appropriate alternative therapy. 
Taking into account the measures taken to minimize risk to participants participating in 
this study, the potential risks identified in association with gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin 
are justified by the anticipated benefits that may be afforded to participants with acute 
uncomplicated cystitis.

Primary estimand 
The primary clinical question of interest is: Whether the therapeutic response at the TOC 
visit in female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis who have qualified 
uropathogen(s) at Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin in this study is 
consistent with that from the global studies, regardless of intervention discontinuation for 
any reason. Receipt of systemic antimicrobials will impact the endpoint definition (see 
Section 8.1.2.1 and 8.1.3.1).  
The estimand is described by the following attributes: 
• 
Population: Japanese and non-Japanese (from Studies 204989 and 212390) female 
participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis who have qualifying uropathogen(s) at 
Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin. 
• 
Treatment condition: Gepotidacin 1500 mg BID for 5 days in this study versus 
gepotidacin 1500 mg BID for 5 days in the global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) regardless of adherence. 
• 
Variable: Therapeutic response (combined per-participant microbiological and 
clinical response) at the TOC Visit. Microbiological success is defined as eradication 
(i.e. reduction) of all qualifying bacterial uropathogens recovered at baseline to <103 
CCI

colony-forming units/mL (CFU/mL) as observed on quantitative urine culture 
without the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials. Clinical success is 
defined as resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis present at Baseline (and 
no new signs and symptoms) without the participant receiving other systemic 
antimicrobials.  
• 
Summary measure: Comparison of the proportion of Japanese participants achieving 
therapeutic success in this study with 10%tile of the predicted distribution for the 
proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success in this study derived from 
the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) under the assumption of consistency.  
• 
Intercurrent events (ICEs):  
• 
Study treatment discontinuation (due to any reason) – treatment policy strategy 
(interest is in the treatment effect regardless of study treatment discontinuation) 
• 
Use of systemic antimicrobials – composite strategy. This ICE is captured 
through the definitions of microbiological and clinical response (see Section 
8.1.2.1 and 8.1.3.1 
Rationale for estimand:  
Interest in this study lies in whether the efficacy of this study is consistent with the global 
studies.  
The clinical question of interest in this study and the global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) lies in the treatment effect regardless of whether the full course of 5 days of 
treatment was taken or not, which reflects how patients may be treated in clinical 
practice. Hence, a treatment policy strategy is appropriate for treatment withdrawal 
before completing 5 days of treatment. Use of other systemic antimicrobials may 
confound the bacterial culture results; thus, the microbiological response will be 
considered failure. For clinical data, the use of a systemic antimicrobial for acute 
uncomplicated cystitis is a sign of treatment failure and use of a systemic antimicrobial 
for another infection cannot be considered a success as it confounds the assessment of 
efficacy. Therefore, the definition of a successful therapeutic response precludes the use 
of other systemic antimicrobials.

STUDY DESIGN 
4.1. Overall Design 
• 
Study 214144 is a Phase III, randomized, multicenter, active reference, parallel-
group, double-blind, double-dummy study in adolescent and adult female 
participants to assess consistency of therapeutic response of gepotidacin at the TOC 
Visit in female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis observed in this study 
with global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). In addition, the efficacy 
(therapeutic response) of gepotidacin compared to active reference (nitrofurantoin) 
descriptively will also be evaluated for therapeutic response at the TOC Visit. 
Participants will be stratified by age category (≤50 years, or >50 years) and acute 
uncomplicated cystitis recurrence (nonrecurrent infection or recurrent infection, 
defined as a confirmed infection [not including the current infection in the 
calculation] with at least 1 prior episode within the past 3 months, at least 2 prior 
episodes within the past 6 months, or at least 3 prior episodes within the past 12 
months before study entry) and will be randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive 1 
of the following study treatments: 
• 
Gepotidacin: 1500 mg administered orally twice daily (BID) for 5 days 
• 
Nitrofurantoin: 100 mg administered orally BID for 5 days 
Note: Each dose of gepotidacin or nitrofurantoin should be taken after food 
consumption and with water. 
• 
Appropriate safety, clinical and microbiological assessments will be conducted at the 
Baseline (Day 1) Visit and repeated at the On-therapy (Day 2 to 4), TOC (Day 10 to 
13), and Follow-up (Day 28±3) Visits. 
 
 
 Each treatment day will be assessed over 24 
hours starting with the first dose of study treatment, as further detailed in the Study 
Reference Manual (SRM). 
• 
For the primary efficacy endpoint of therapeutic response (combined per-participant 
microbiological and clinical response), therapeutic success refers to participants who 
have been deemed both a microbiological success (reduction of all qualifying 
bacterial uropathogens [e.g., ≥105 CFU/mL; defined in 10.8] recovered at Baseline to 
<103 CFU/mL as observed on quantitative urine culture without the participant 
receiving other systemic antimicrobials) and a clinical success (resolution of signs 
and symptoms of acute cystitis present at Baseline [and no new signs and symptoms] 
without the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials) at the TOC Visit in 
the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat Nitrofurantoin-Susceptible (micro ITT NTF-S) 
Population, regardless of treatment discontinuation. 
• 
PK samples will be collected in all participants for analysis at the Baseline (postdose) 
and the On-therapy Visits (predose and postdose). 
• 
Participants may return to the study site at any time due to AEs or if they are 
experiencing new or continuing signs and symptoms of acute uncomplicated cystitis.

Participants will be assessed and treated per the investigator’s judgement. If a 
participant is switched to a different antimicrobial before or during the TOC Visit, all 
TOC procedures should be completed before the other antimicrobial is started. 
• 
Participants with a concomitant fungal infection can only be treated with topical 
antifungals per local standard of care. 
• 
Participants will return to the study site on Day 28 (±3) for a Follow-up Visit. 
Participants experiencing signs and symptoms suggestive of infection recurrence or 
relapse will be assessed and treated per the investigator’s judgement.  
• 
The study duration is approximately 28 days with 4 planned study visits (see Section 
8 for study visit details): 
• 
Baseline (Day 1) Visit 
• 
On-therapy (Day 2 to 4) Visit 
• 
TOC (Day 10 to 13) Visit 
• 
Follow-up (Day 28±3) Visit 
A study design schematic is depicted in Figure 1. The Schedule of Activities (SoA) is 
provided in Section 1.3. 
Refer to 10.9 for details regarding allowed revisions to study conduct and/or monitoring 
due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19). For all study visits, to minimize the amount of 
time that participants spend at the clinic, eConsent may be utilized and remote collection 
of study-related data may be obtained as described in the SRM. Thus, some visit data 
may be collected through a combination of telemedicine and on-site visits. Collection of 
information via telemedicine will be performed only where local regulations permit. 
Of note, to reduce participant on-site visits or if unforeseen issues impact clinic visits, 
and participants are unable to attend a site visit, home healthcare (home visits and 
telemedicine visits) may be used to conduct procedures as detailed in the Study 
Reference Manual. Home healthcare will only be utilized where applicable country and 
local regulations and infrastructure allow. 
4.1.1. 
Safety Review Team/Microbiology Review Team 
There will be a GlaxoSmithKline Safety Review Team to monitor blinded safety data, 
and a Microbiology Review Team to monitor blinded microbiological data instream (see 
Section 10.1.5). 
4.2. Scientific Rationale for Study Design 
The study design of global Phase III studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) was based on 
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance for industry for developing drug 
treatments for uncomplicated and complicated UTIs [DHHS, 2019; DHHS, 2018], the 
European Medicines Agency (EMA) addendum to the guideline on the evaluation of 
medicinal products indicated for treatment of bacterial infections [EMA, 2013], and 
feedback from the FDA and EMA. This study is designed in consideration of bridging to 
assess the consistency between this study and the global Phase III studies based on the 


TMF-15095845 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
 
 
 
40 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
feedback from the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) at the 
consultation meeting. 
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the therapeutic response (combined per-participant 
microbiological and clinical response) at the TOC Visit in participants who have a 
qualifying bacterial uropathogen at Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin. 
Although the guidance differs in their criteria for defining qualifying uropathogens, this 
study has been designed with the qualifying uropathogen criteria defined in 10.8 and 
microbiological success defined as reduction of all qualifying bacterial uropathogens 
recovered at Baseline to <103 CFU/mL as observed on quantitative urine culture without 
the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials. Clinical success at the TOC Visit 
is defined as the resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis present at Baseline 
(and no new signs and symptoms) without the participant receiving other systemic 
antimicrobials. Therapeutic success refers to participants who have been deemed both a 
microbiological success and a clinical success (i.e., responders). The primary objective of 
this study is to assess consistency of this study with global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) for therapeutic response of gepotidacin at the TOC Visit.  
Nitrofurantoin has been selected as the active reference in this study. Nitrofurantoin is 
globally available as the indication for the treatment of acute uncomplicated UTI (acute 
cystitis) caused by susceptible strains of E. coli or S. saprophyticus in most regions 
except for Japan and is a recommended oral first-line treatment for acute uncomplicated 
cystitis per current US and European Association of Urology guidelines [Gupta, 2011b; 
EAU, 2019]. Although nitrofurantoin is not approved in Japan, nitrofurantoin was a 
marketed antimicrobial in Japan until 1990 and showed efficacy in Japanese patients with 
acute uncomplicated cystitis and had no clinically significant safety issues [Tsunoda, 
1970; Ookita, 1970; Tofukuji, 1970]. Both gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin will be 
administered BID for a treatment duration of 5 days. As described in Section 4.3, the 
dose of each study treatment and the 5-day duration were selected to provide efficacious 
treatment for acute uncomplicated cystitis. Having the same dose regimen will also 
support double-blind dose administration. 
Both adult and adolescent (≥12 to <18 years of age) eligible female participants will be 
enrolled in this double-blinded study. The study is restricted to female participants since 
this study is conducted as bridging-like study to assess the consistency between this study 
and the global studies, which was planned per FDA guidance [DHHS, 2019]. Adolescent 
participants will only be enrolled at study sites where investigators have experience in 
this population and if allowed per the study site’s institutional ethics committees and 
enrollment will be contingent upon such approvals. Adolescent assent forms and adult 
consent forms will be developed with oversight from local governing institutional review 
boards (IRBs)/independent ethics committees (IECs) (see 10.1). There is no upper age 
limit for study participants; however, participants are excluded if they reside in a nursing 
home or dependent care type-facility, or if they have any comorbidities associated with 
complicated UTI. Thus, any participants >75 years of age will only be eligible for the 
study if they are residing independently. 
In order to maximize the efficiency of this study while minimizing discomfort and 
inconvenience to participants consenting to this protocol, a GSK SRT will monitor

blinded safety data in stream, while a Microbiology Review Team will monitor blinded 
uropathogen identification and susceptibility data in stream, including the enrollment rate 
of participants with a qualifying bacterial uropathogen at Baseline and the resistance 
profile of uropathogens. For details on these review teams, refer to 10.1. 
4.2.1. 
Participant Input into Design 
Interview of patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis was conducted during the design 
of this protocol. The findings confirmed that the study design is acceptable. A record of 
insights from the patients into the design and implementation is maintained in the Trial 
Master File. 
4.3. Justification for Dose 
The oral gepotidacin dose in this study is 1500 mg BID (total daily dose of 3000 mg) for 
5 days. A 5-day dosing duration is in alignment with current treatment guidelines for 
efficacious antibacterial treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis in women, which 
typically ranges from 3 to 7 days [Gupta, 2011b;; EAU, 2019;Yamamoto, 2017]. The 
safety and tolerability at this oral dose and duration have been evaluated in Phase I 
studies and in Phase II studies (BTZ116704 and 206899) (see IB for details). 
Furthermore, high urine concentrations of gepotidacin are expected in this study based on 
a healthy volunteer Phase I study (BTZ117351) and a Phase IIa study in participants with 
acute uncomplicated cystitis (206899). In BTZ117351, approximately 287 mg of 
unchanged gepotidacin was excreted in urine after a single oral 1500-mg (2 × 750-mg 
tablets) dose of gepotidacin (minimum urine area under drug concentration-time curve 
over 12 hours [AUC12h]=807 µg.h/mL). In the Phase IIa study, 206899, in participants 
with acute uncomplicated cystitis, approximately 460 mg of unchanged gepotidacin was 
excreted in urine over the steady-state dosing interval of 12 hours after repeat BID oral 
dosing of 1500 mg (2 × 750-mg tablets) gepotidacin (minimum steady-state urine 
AUC12h=2256 µg.h/mL). 
For the global phase III studies (Studies 204989 and 212390), the gepotidacin dose and 
duration were selected based on in vitro and in vivo studies including experimental 
animal pyelonephritis studies that simulated human PK exposures of gepotidacin to 
determine the efficacy of gepotidacin against isolates of E. coli, including MDR strains 
(see the IB for further details). Based on GSK assessment of the limitations of the current 
acute cystitis efficacy model in rodents, the pyelonephritis model is considered to allow 
evaluation of antibacterial efficacy in a more robust UTI. 
Additionally, an in vitro study to determine the PK/pharmacodynamic (PD) 
characteristics of gepotidacin against E. coli (dose-fractionation and dose ranging studies) 
indicate that AUC/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the primary PK/PD index 
predictive of gepotidacin efficacy against E. coli. The magnitude of the ratio of free-drug 
AUC to MIC over 24 hours (fAUC/MIC) required to achieve net bacterial stasis as well 
as 1- and 2-log reductions in bacterial burden from Baseline across multiple E. coli 
isolates with gepotidacin MIC values ranging from 1 to 4 µg/mL, were 34.5, 41.3, and 
49.7, respectively.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
A set of duplicate 10-day hollow fiber infection model studies was also completed using 
E. coli isolate NCTC 13441 to determine the fAUC/MIC exposure of gepotidacin 
required to prevent the amplification of a resistant subpopulation. An inverted-U shaped 
function described the relationship between drug resistance amplification and fAUC, with 
fAUC values ≥549 preventing resistance amplification to gepotidacin for E. coli in the 
hollow fiber infection model for 10 days. This equates to an fAUC/MIC value ≥275 when 
applying the gepotidacin broth microdilution MIC of 2 µg/mL for E. coli NCTC 13441.  
When taking the fAUC/MIC target of 275 for resistance suppression into consideration 
with the concentrations of gepotidacin in human urine measured in BTZ117351 
(minimum urine AUC12h=807 µg.h/mL; thus, minimum urine AUC over 24 hours [AUC 
24 h]=1614 µg.h/mL) and applying an MIC value of 4 µg/mL, the minimum human urine 
AUC/MIC achieved for the 1500 mg oral BID dose exceeds the fAUC/MIC resistance 
suppression target of 275 by approximately 1.5-fold and 100% target attainment for a 
urine AUC/MIC target of 275 would be expected for participants with E. coli isolates 
with gepotidacin MICs ≤4 µg/mL following 1500 mg BID oral dosing.  
When applying the higher concentrations of gepotidacin in human urine measured in the 
Phase IIa study (206899; minimum urine AUC 12 h=2256 µg.h/mL; thus, AUC 24 
h=4512 µg.h/mL) and applying a MIC value of 4 µg/mL, the minimum human urine 
AUC/MIC achieved for the 1500 mg oral BID dose further exceeds the fAUC/MIC 
resistance suppression target of 275 by approximately 4 fold and 100% target attainment 
for a urine AUC/MIC target of 275 would also be expected for participants with E. coli 
isolates with gepotidacin MICs ≤4 µg/mL following 1500 mg BID oral dosing. 
Additionally, in the Phase IIa study (206899), for 4 participants with available urine 
AUC24h steady-state PK parameters and qualifying Enterobacterales uropathogens who 
were microbiological successes at TOC, the plasma fAUC24h/MIC values ranged from 7 
to 90.5 and urine AUC24h/MIC ratios ranged from 1292 to 121,698. The participant with 
the lowest plasma fAUC/MIC (7.0) and urine AUC/MIC (1292) had a K. pneumoniae 
uropathogen with a gepotidacin MIC of 4 µg/mL. No participants had an outcome of 
microbiological persistence at TOC. 
Based on results from Phase I study (213678), following a 1500 mg single gepotidacin 
dose and twice 3000 mg gepotidacin doses under fed conditions, there was a trend to 
higher geometric mean gepotidacin Cmax (7% to 30%) in Japanese participants 
compared to Western Caucasian participants, while total plasma exposures (AUC) were 
generally similar. Following the administration of 1500 mg single dose of gepotidacin to 
Japanese participants in the fed state, the mean trough concentration in the urine obtained 
in the 8- to 12-hour window was 53.7 μg/mL, which exceeds the gepotidacin MIC90 of 4 
μg/mL for drug-resistant subsets of E. coli. Geometric mean gepotidacin urine AUC (0-
24) and AUC (0-τ) was slightly lower in Japanese participants compared to Western 
(Caucasian) participants.  
To investigate the possibility that the dosage and administration of gepotidacin (1500 mg 
orally BID for 5 days) specified in global phase III studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) 
may affect the dosage regimen in Japanese patients, a PK-PD study was conducted from 
the viewpoints of efficacy evaluation and safety evaluation. From the viewpoint of 


TMF-15095845 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
 
 
 
43 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
efficacy evaluation, the overall probability of target attainment in Japanese subjects 
considering the percentage of actual MICs is as high as 99.9% for fAUC0-24hr/MIC = 
41.3 in urine and 96.1% for fAUC0-24hr/MIC = 275 in urine (related to resistance 
suppression), which is also expected to be effective in Japanese subjects. From the 
viewpoint of safety evaluation, the predicted plasma concentration after twice-daily 
administration of gepotidacin 1500 mg to Japanese subjects is below the concentration 
associated with mild transient adverse events (such as salivation, blurred vision, and 
slurred speech) in previous studies, and the predicted ∆∆∆ QTcF in the Japanese 
population is below the value observed in previous intravenous and oral studies in which 
clinically relevant QTc changes were reported. Therefore, it is considered safe in 
Japanese subjects. Based on the above, it is appropriate to apply the dosage and 
administration of gepotidacin (1500 mg orally BID for 5 days) used in global phase III 
studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) to the Japanese study (Study 214144). 
In conclusion, minimum urine levels of gepotidacin are anticipated to be in excess of the 
fAUC/MIC target necessary for both efficacy and resistance suppression for E. coli as 
determined from the in vitro PK/PD models. Given that the bladder is the primary site of 
infection in cystitis, the use of gepotidacin urine PK data, coupled with the robust in vivo 
efficacy demonstrated in the Phase IIa acute uncomplicated cystitis study and human 
simulated PK pyelonephritis model, is appropriate for selecting the gepotidacin 1500 mg 
BID oral dose for 5 days for study in the treatment of participants with acute 
uncomplicated cystitis.  
In addition, a PK evaluation (Study 209611) in healthy adult and adolescent participants 
has been completed (see the IB for further details). Overall, plasma Cmax values were 
27% higher in adolescents; however, the range of Cmax values were similar, and AUC(0-
∞) values were similar for adults and adolescents following a 1500-mg single 
gepotidacin dose. Following the first of two 3000 mg gepotidacin doses 6 hours apart, 
Cmax values were 29% higher in adolescents; however, the ranges of Cmax values were 
similar, and following the second dose for adults and adolescents Cmax values were 
similar. The AUC(0-τ) was approximately 35% higher in adolescents following both 
doses compared to adults. The total amount of gepotidacin excreted in urine was similar 
in adult and adolescent participants following a 1500-mg single gepotidacin dose. 
Following two 3000 mg gepotidacin doses given 6 hours apart, the total amount excreted 
was approximately 35% higher in adolescents compared to adults. The maximum dose of 
gepotidacin evaluated in adolescents was 3000 mg given as 2 doses 6 hours apart. Across 
the age groups, the safety-risk profile was similar. 
The oral nitrofurantoin dose in this study is 100 mg BID (total daily dose of 200 mg) for 
5 days. Nitrofurantoin is commonly available as 2 formulations (macrocrystals and a 
monohydrate) and the most common commercial products globally are nitrofurantoin 
monohydrate/macrocrystals (Macrobid) and nitrofurantoin macrocrystals (Macrodantin, 
Furandantin) [Gupta, 2011b]. Adequate clinical response and safety profiles have been 
reported with nitrofurantoin treatment in acute uncomplicated cystitis and similar PK, 
safety, and efficacy profiles were reported between the 2 formulations: 100 mg BID 
nitrofurantoin monohydrate/macrocrystals and 50 mg QID nitrofurantoin macrocrystals 
[Pelletier, 1992; Ten Doesschate, 2019; Wijma, 2020; Macrobid, 2020]. The previously 
recommended dosing of nitrofurantoin (macrocrystals) in Japan was 100 mg, QID (total

daily dose of 400 mg). The oral dose, duration, and formulation of nitrofurantoin 
(monohydrate/macrocrystals) in this study is within the prescribed recommendations 
globally, which is 100 mg BID for up to 7 days for adults and paediatric patients over 12 
years of age [Gupta, 2011b]. In this study, the monohydrate/macrocrystal nitrofurantoin 
formulation (Macrobid) is used, which is same formulation used in the global Phase III 
studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). The labeled 7 days dosing duration of 
nitrofurantoin was based on clinical registration studies from several decades ago. More 
recently, a 5-day dosing duration of nitrofurantoin was shown to be efficacious for the 
treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis in women [Gupta, 2007] and a treatment 
duration of <7 days for nitrofurantoin is in alignment with current treatment guidelines 
[Gupta, 2011b; EAU, 2019]. 
4.4. End of Study Definition

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to meet the 
Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements and to 
respond to queries from regulatory authorities. Minimal information includes 
demography, screen failure details, eligibility criteria, any protocol deviations and any 
serious adverse events (SAEs). 
Participants who are screen failures are allowed to be rescreened once with the agreement 
of the Medical Monitor for the same infection episode or a subsequent infection episode 
and participate in the study if they meet all the inclusion and do not meet all the exclusion 
criteria. 
6. 
STUDY INTERVENTION(S) AND CONCOMITANT 
THERAPY 
Study intervention is defined as any investigational intervention(s), marketed product(s), 
placebo, or medical device(s) intended to be administered to a study participant according 
to the study protocol. 
6.1. Study Intervention(s) Administered 
• 
All doses of study treatment should always be taken after food consumption and with 
water. Participants will receive oral study treatment (gepotidacin [2 tablets] + 
nitrofurantoin matching placebo [1 capsule] or nitrofurantoin [1 capsule] + 
gepotidacin matching placebo [2 tablets]) BID (approximately every 12 hours) for 5 
days. 
• 
The first oral dose will be administered at the study site during the Baseline Visit; 
participants will self-administer subsequent doses as outpatients thereafter, excluding 
the day of On-therapy Visit. 
• 
At the On-therapy Visit, participants will go to the study site before taking the 
morning dose, have the PK sample collection performed, and then take the morning 
dose, while aiming to keep the time of dosing as close as possible to 12 hours after 
the previous evening dose was taken. 
• 
At the On-therapy Visit, whenever it is possible, the participant will have the 
pregnancy test performed at the study site. If the visit coincides with the 8th dose, the 
participant will take their next dose of study treatment at the study site after negative 
pregnancy test results are confirmed. 
• 
Before the On-therapy Visit, if the requirement for the single pregnancy test to be 
done between dose 4 and dose 8 cannot be done at the study site due to availability of 
open clinic hours and the investigator considers the participant reliable to accurately 
perform the study-provided pregnancy test at home will be instructed to do so. If the 
pregnancy test is negative, those participants will be instructed to take their next dose 
of study treatment at home via text or by study site staff before going to the study site 
for their On-therapy Visit.

Note: The On-therapy Visit should be scheduled to support completion of the 
postdose PK sample collection and ECG within the protocol-defined window. Also, 
in WOCBP, the high sensitivity pregnancy test must be performed and show negative 
results at the latest before Dose 8 of study treatment is taken.

6.2. Preparation, Handling, Storage and Accountability 
1. The investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have 
been maintained during transit for all study intervention received and any 
discrepancies are reported and resolved before use of the study intervention. 
2. Only participants enrolled in the study may receive study intervention and only 
authorized site staff may supply or administer study intervention. All study 
interventions must be stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored 
(manual or automated) area in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with 
access limited to the investigator and authorized site staff. 
3. The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) 
is responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record 
maintenance (i.e., receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records). 
4. Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study 
intervention are provided in the Study Reference Manual.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
Under normal conditions of handling and administration, study intervention is not 
expected to pose significant safety risks to site staff. 
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/equivalent document describing occupational 
hazards and recommended handling precautions either will be provided to the 
investigator, where this is required by local laws, or is available upon request from GSK. 
6.3. Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding 
Participants will be stratified by age category (≤50 years, or >50 years) and acute 
uncomplicated cystitis recurrence (nonrecurrent infection or recurrent infection, defined 
as a confirmed infection [not including the current infection in the calculation] with at 
least 1 prior episode within the past 3 months, at least 2 prior episodes within the past 6 
months, or at least 3 prior episodes within the past 12 months before study entry). 
Participants will be centrally randomized in a 3:1 ratio to either gepotidacin + matching 
nitrofurantoin placebo or nitrofurantoin + matching gepotidacin placebo. All participants 
will be centrally randomized using interactive response technology (IRT). Before the 
study is initiated, information and directions for the IRT will be provided to each study 
site. 
Study treatment will be dispensed at the study visits summarized in Section 1.3. 
Returned study treatment should not be re-dispensed to other participants. 
This is a double-blind, double-dummy study. The study treatment taken during the study 
will be double-blind. Neither the participant nor study personnel (i.e., investigators, GSK) 
will know which study treatment the participant is receiving. In order to maintain study 
treatment blinding, participants will receive, in addition to their randomized active 
treatment (gepotidacin or nitrofurantoin), a matching placebo form of the active treatment 
to which they were not assigned. The matching placebos will look identical to the active 
form.  
Designated independent representative(s), that is a few selected GSK CP-M&S, SDTM 
Unblinding Programmer, Biostatistics and appropriate service provider (when it is 
possible) members, may be unblinded for performing population PK and PKPD dataset 
preparation and draft PK and PKPD model development using scrambled (random 
reassignment of subject identification numbers) PK and PKPD unblinded datasets, 
including baseline demographic characteristics.   
The IRT will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an emergency, 
the investigator has the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a participant’s 
treatment assignment is warranted. Participant safety must always be the first 
consideration in making such a determination. If the investigator decides that unblinding 
is warranted, the investigator should make every effort to contact GSK prior to 
unblinding a participant’s treatment assignment unless this could delay emergency 
treatment of the participant. If a participant’s treatment assignment is unblinded GSK 
must be notified within 24 hours after breaking the blind. The date and reason that the 
blind was broken must be recorded in the source documentation and electronic case 
report form (eCRF), as applicable.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
A participant may continue in the study if that participant’s treatment is unblinded 
provided that there are no safety concerns for the participant per the investigator’s 
judgement. 
The GSK SRT, which will monitor safety data in stream, will remain blinded to 
participant treatment assignment throughout the study (see Section 10.3). A Microbiology 
Review Team will monitor blinded pathogen identification and susceptibility data in 
stream as well as the number of participants eligible for the micro ITT Population. 
Blinded monitoring of pathogens will be conducted, to determine whether end-of-study 
targets are likely to be achieved.  
GSK’s Global Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance (GCSP) staff may unblind the 
intervention assignment for any participant with an SAE. If the SAE requires that an 
expedited regulatory report be sent to one or more regulatory agencies, a copy of the 
report, identifying the participant’s intervention assignment, may be sent to investigators 
in accordance with local regulations and/or GSK policy. 
6.4. Study Intervention Compliance 
• 
When participants are dosed at the site during the Baseline and On-therapy Visits, 
they will take their study intervention when directed by the investigator or designee, 
under medical supervision. The date and time of each dose administered in the study 
site will be recorded in the source documents. The dose of study intervention and 
study participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing by a member 
of the study site staff other than the person administering the study intervention. 
• 
When participants self-administer study intervention(s) at home, compliance with 
gepotidacin, nitrofurantoin placebo, nitrofurantoin, and gepotidacin placebo will be 
assessed by direct questioning during the site visits and documented in the source 
documents and eCRF. Deviation(s) from the prescribed dosage regimen should be 
recorded. 
• 
A record of the quantity of gepotidacin and gepotidacin placebo tablets and 
nitrofurantoin and nitrofurantoin placebo capsules dispensed to and returned by each 
participant must be maintained and reconciled with study intervention and 
compliance records. Intervention start and stop dates, including dates for intervention 
delays will also be recorded. 
6.5. Dose Modification 
The study design does not allow for dose modifications. 
6.6. Continued Access to Study Intervention after the End of the 
Study 
Participants will not receive any additional treatment from GSK after they discontinue or 
complete the study (i.e., after the Follow-up Visit). Participants experiencing signs and 
symptoms suggestive of infection recurrence or relapse at the Follow-up Visit will be 
assessed and treated per the investigator’s judgement.

6.7. Treatment of Overdose 
For this study, any dose of Gepotidacin or Nitrofurantoin greater than 3000 mg or 200 mg 
within a 24-hour time period, respectively, will be considered an overdose, as further 
detailed in the SRM. 
There is no specific antidote for overdose with a bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor. In the 
event of a suspected overdose, it is recommended that the appropriate supportive clinical 
care should be instituted, as dictated by the participant’s clinical status. 
Occasional incidents of acute overdosage of nitrofurantoin have not resulted in any 
specific symptoms other than vomiting (refer to the package insert). Induction of emesis 
is recommended. There is no specific antidote, but a high fluid intake should be 
maintained to promote urinary excretion of the drug. 
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should: 
1. Contact the medical monitor immediately. 
2. Closely monitor the participant for AEs/SAEs and laboratory abnormalities until 
study intervention can no longer be detected systemically (at least 72 hours). 
3. Obtain a plasma sample for PK analysis within 24 hours from the date of the last 
dose of study intervention if requested by the medical monitor (determined on a 
case-by-case basis). 
4. Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdosing in 
the CRF. 
Decisions regarding dose interruptions will be made by the investigator in consultation 
with the Medical Monitor based on the clinical evaluation of the participant. 
6.8. Concomitant Therapy 
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, 
vitamins, and/or herbal supplements) that the participant is receiving within 30 days prior 
to the Baseline Visit or receives during the study must be recorded in the eCRF. In 
addition, any antimicrobial use within 6 months prior to the Baseline Visit or during the 
study must be recorded in the eCRF. The concomitant therapy name must be recorded in 
the eCRF along with the following: 
• 
reason for use 
• 
dates of administration including start and end dates 
• 
dosage information including dose and frequency 
The medical monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding 
concomitant or prior therapy.

6.8.1. 
Permitted Medications and Nondrug Therapies 
The use of H1 antihistaminics not associated with QT prolongation is allowed (e.g., 
loratadine, cetirizine, ebastine, and fexofenadine). The use of topical, nonsystemic 
antibacterials (e.g., topical clindamycin, fradiomycin or polymyxin) and topical, 
nonsystemic antifungals (e.g., topical clotrimazole, tolnaftate, or ketoconazole) is allowed 
throughout the study. 
Acetaminophen use is permitted throughout the study as it does not mask symptoms of 
the disease under study. Low-dose aspirin (≤100 mg/day) is permitted for the prevention 
of cardiovascular (CV) disease events.  
6.8.2. 
Prohibited Medications and Nondrug Therapies 
At the time of enrollment and/or during the study from the Baseline Visit through the 
Follow-up Visit, the participant is prohibited from use of the following medications. 
• 
Treatment with other systemic antimicrobials (e.g., oral ciprofloxacin, 
amoxicillin/clavulanate, cephalexin, or doxycycline) within 1 week before study 
entry, unless other systemic antimicrobials are needed as additional therapy for the 
infection under study (acute uncomplicated cystitis), including recurrence of the 
infection or new infection. 
At the time of enrollment and/or during the study from the Baseline Visit through the 
TOC Visit, the participant is prohibited from use of the following medications and 
nondrug therapies: 
• 
An investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of the 
Baseline Visit. 
• 
Treatment with systemic antifungals (e.g., oral fluconazole, itraconazole, or 
terbinafine) within 1 week before study entry.  
• 
Immunosuppressive therapy, including corticosteroid therapy (>40 mg/day 
prednisolone or equivalent for >1 week, ≥20 mg/day prednisolone or equivalent for 
>2 weeks, or prednisolone or equivalent ≥10 mg/day for >6 weeks). 
• 
QT-prolonging drugs or drugs with known TdP risk, per the www.crediblemeds.org 
“Known Risk of TdP” category, at the time of their Baseline Visit, which cannot be 
safely discontinued from the Baseline Visit to the TOC Visit. Details regarding 
website access are provided in the SRM. Of note, ondansetron is not allowed from 
the Baseline Visit to the TOC Visit due to its known TdP risk.  
Note: Crediblemeds.org categorizes drugs into 4 categories. The only category for 
exclusion in this study is the “Known Risk of TdP” category; participants taking 
drugs that meet criteria of other categories are NOT excluded from participation. 
• 
Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. 
• 
St John’s wort or other strong CYP3A4 inducers are not permitted from 14 days 
before study entry through the TOC Visit.

• 
Prescription, nonprescription, or supplements that may impact UTI clinical or 
microbiological efficacy outcomes including, but not limited to, Uva ursi, D-
mannose, cranberry tablets, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including 
ibuprofen and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, and uricosuric drugs (e.g., probenecid). 
Aspirin (doses >100 mg/day) is not permitted. 
In addition, antacid preparations containing magnesium trisilicate are prohibited from the 
start of study treatment at the Baseline Visit throughout the completion of the dosing 
period (i.e., until all 10 doses of study treatment have been received). 
Due to the gepotidacin’s property of acetylcholinesterase inhibition, the concomitant use 
of succinylcholine or nondepolarizing paralytic agents is also prohibited. Caution should 
be used in participants who have a condition requiring medication that may exacerbate 
the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, or neuromuscular blocking agents. 
7. 
DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL 
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are detailed in Section 10.1. 
7.1. Discontinuation of Study Intervention 
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue study 
intervention. If study intervention is permanently discontinued, the participant will 
remain in the study to be evaluated for safety and efficacy. See the SoA (Section 1.3) for 
data to be collected at the time of discontinuation of study intervention and follow-up and 
for any further evaluations that need to be completed. 
Participants may voluntarily discontinue study treatment at any time. The investigator 
may also, at his or her discretion, discontinue the participant from study treatment at any 
time and initiate appropriate alternative therapy. 
Reasons for study treatment discontinuation may include the following: 
• 
Adverse event 
• 
Protocol deviation 
• 
Termination of the study by GSK 
• 
Investigator discretion 
• 
Lack of efficacy 
Note: Pathogen identification or in vitro resistance of recovered uropathogens is not 
a reason for study treatment discontinuation. 
The reason for study treatment discontinuation will be recorded in the eCRF. Participants 
who discontinue study treatment for the reasons above will not be considered withdrawn 
from the study and should attend all subsequent study visits (see Section 1.3).

Liver Chemistry Stopping Criteria 
Liver chemistry stopping, and increased monitoring criteria have been designed to 
assure participant safety and evaluate liver event etiology. 
Discontinuation of study intervention for abnormal liver tests is required when: 
• 
a participant meets one of the conditions outlined Algorithm A or Algorithm B 
or  
• 
in the presence of abnormal liver chemistry not meeting protocol-specified 
stopping rules, if the investigator believes that it is in the best interest of the 
participant.

QTc Stopping Criteria 
Adult Participant 
• 
If a clinically significant finding is identified (including, but not limited to changes 
from baseline in QT interval corrected using Bazett’s formula [QTcB] or Fridericia’s 
formula [QTcF]) after enrollment, the investigator or qualified designee will 
determine if the participant can continue in the study and if any change in participant 
management is needed. This review of the ECG printed at the time of collection must 
be documented. Any new clinically relevant finding should be reported as an AE. 
• 
A participant who meets the bulleted criteria based on the average of triplicate ECG 
readings will be withdrawn from study intervention: 
• 
QTc > 500 msec OR Uncorrected QT > 600 msec 
• 
Change from baseline of QTc > 60 msec

For patients with underlying bundle branch block, follow the discontinuation criteria 
listed below: 
Baseline QTc with Bundle Branch 
Block 
Discontinuation QTc with Bundle 
Branch Block 
< 450 msec 
> 500 msec 
450 – 480 msec 
≥ 530 msec 
 
• 
The same QT correction formula must be used for each individual participant to 
determine eligibility for and discontinuation from the study. This formula may not be 
changed or substituted once the participant has been enrolled. (Note: Ideally, all 
ECGs for a participant should be performed with the same ECG machine.) 
• 
For example, if a participant is eligible for the protocol based on QTcB, then 
QTcB must be used for discontinuation of this individual participant as well. 
• 
Once the QT correction formula has been chosen for a participant’s eligibility, 
the same formula must continue to be used for that participant for all QTc data 
being collected for data analysis. Other nonprotocol-specified ECGs are an 
exception. 
• 
The QTc should be based on the average of triplicate ECG readings obtained over a 
brief (e.g., 5- to 10-minute) recording period. 
Participant ≥12 to <18 years of age 
For any participant ≥12 to <18 years of age, if the participant has an abnormal ECG 
reading during the study treatment, the investigator or qualified designee will determine 
if the participant can continue in the study and if any change in participant management 
is needed. 
7.1.3. 
Renal Stopping and Monitoring Criteria 
• 
If baseline creatinine clearance (CrCl) <45 ml/min, stop study treatment immediately 
and ensure prompt clinical assessment including repeat labs 
• 
If baseline CrCl 45 to < 60 ml/min, advise that the On Therapy visit is expedited so 
that participants undergo prompt clinical assessment. Evaluation should include on 
therapy labs and an assessment of clinical response and adverse effects to treatment 
to weigh the potential benefits and concerns with continuing or discontinuing 
treatment. If the patient is clinically well, study treatment can be continued or if there 
are concerns, study treatment can be discontinued at investigator’s discretion when 
this is felt to be in the best interest of the participant. The following factors should be 
considered: 
• 
All patients to remain in the study for safety follow-up 
• 
All patients to have labs including CrCl repeated at the TOC visit as per study 
protocol

7.1.4. 
Rechallenge 
7.1.4.1. 
Study Intervention Restart or Rechallenge after liver stopping criteria 
met 
Study intervention restart or rechallenge after liver chemistry stopping criteria are met by 
any participant in this study are not allowed. 
7.1.5. 
Gastrointestinal Evaluation Criteria 
If a participant meets the criteria in 10.7, Clostridioides difficile toxin testing should be 
conducted and the specific eCRF page completed, then reported as AE if positive for the 
testing. Clostridioides difficile infection or colitis is considered an AE of special interest 
(Section 8.3.7). 
7.2. Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study 
• 
A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at her own request or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, or 
compliance reasons. This is expected to be uncommon. 
• 
Reasons for study withdrawal include: 
• 
Participant lost to follow-up 
• 
Participant withdrew consent 
• 
Termination of the study by GSK 
• 
Investigator discretion 
• 
At the time of discontinuing from the study, if possible, an early withdrawal visit 
should be conducted, as shown in the SoA (Section 1.3). See SoA for data to be 
collected at the time of study discontinuation and follow-up and for any further 
evaluations that need to be completed. 
• 
The participant will be permanently discontinued from the study intervention and the 
study at that time. 
• 
If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor 
may retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of 
consent. 
• 
If a participant withdraws from the study, she may request destruction of any 
samples taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site 
study records. 
The reason for participant withdrawal will be recorded in the eCRF. Participants who are 
withdrawn from the study should return to the study site and have the microbiological 
and clinical outcomes assessed at the time of withdrawal (see the SoA in Section 1.3), if 
data permit, and return all unused study treatment. Data from these participants will be

considered evaluable up to the point at which they are withdrawn, using the same criteria 
for evaluability as for participants who complete the study. 
7.3. Lost to Follow Up 
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.  
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a 
required study visit: 
• 
The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit 
as soon as possible, counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the 
assigned visit schedule and ascertain whether the participant wishes to and/or 
should continue in the study. 
• 
Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee 
must make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 
telephone calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known 
mailing address or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be 
documented in the participant’s medical record. 
• 
Should the participant continue to be unreachable, she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study.  
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are handled as part of 
10.1. 
8. 
STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
• 
Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA (Section 1.3).  
• 
Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed  
• 
Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or 
discontinue study intervention. 
• 
Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct. 
• 
All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log 
to record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable.  
• 
Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (e.g., 
blood count) and obtained before signing of ICF may be utilized for screening or 
baseline purposes provided the procedure met the protocol-specified criteria and was 
performed within the timeframe defined in the SoA. 
• 
Prescreening activities may be conducted, including a prescreening informed consent 
and urine testing, as further detailed in the SRM. The required baseline urine

62 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
specimen may be collected as part of an optional prescreening process, if not already 
part of standard of care, and is further detailed in the SRM. This specimen can be 
used for the required baseline procedures of the diagnosis of presumptive acute 
uncomplicated cystitis and pregnancy testing. 
• 
Laboratory results that could unblind the study will not be reported to investigative 
sites or other blinded personnel until the study has been unblinded. 
• 
The maximum amount of blood collected from each participant over the duration of 
the study, including any extra assessments that may be required, will not exceed 
200 mL. 
• 
Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical 
issues with the samples. 
• 
Participants may return to the study site at any time due to AEs or if they are 
experiencing new or continuing signs and symptoms of acute cystitis. Participants 
will be assessed and treated per the investigator’s judgement. If a participant is 
switched to a different antimicrobial before or during the TOC Visit, all TOC 
procedures should be completed before the other antimicrobial is started. 
• 
Each treatment day will be assessed over 24 hours starting with the first dose of 
study treatment, as further detailed in the SRM. 
The study will comprise the following 4 planned study visits: 
Note: For all study visits, to minimize the amount of time that participants spend at 
the clinic, eConsent may be utilized and remote collection of study-related data may 
be obtained as described in the SRM. Thus, some visit data may be collected through a 
combination of telemedicine and on-site visits. Collection of information via 
telemedicine will be performed only where local regulations permit. 
• 
Baseline (Day 1) Visit: The Baseline Visit will be performed before dosing on Day 
1. Assessments will be performed as shown in the SoA (Section 1.3), including the 
following: 
• 
Pretreatment baseline specimens for microbiological testing will be collected, as 
described in Section 8.1.2 Clinical signs and symptoms of acute cystitis will be 
recorded, as described in Section 8.1.3.1 and 10.10. 
 
. 
• 
Following completion of all pretreatment assessments, eligible participants will 
be randomly assigned to a study treatment, as described in Section 6.3. 
• 
The first dose of randomly assigned oral study treatment will be administered at 
the study site. Participants will remain at the study site approximately 2 hours 
(1.5 to 4 hours) after dosing, during which time all Day 1 posttreatment 
assessments will be performed (i.e., triplicate ECG and postdose plasma and 
pooled urine PK sample collection), as shown in Section 1.3. Any AEs or 
clinically significant changes should be followed accordingly. Subsequent to 
administration of the first dose at the study site, participants will self-administer 
doses as outpatients thereafter, beginning with the second dose, excluding the 
CCI

day of On-therapy Visit. (Note: Each dose should be taken after food 
consumption and with water.) 
• 
The On-therapy, TOC, and Follow-up Visits should be scheduled before the 
participant leaves the study site on Day 1 (as per the Schedule of Activities 
Table in Section 1.3); the planned return day/time should be at the convenience 
of the participant and also the availability of the study site staff. 
• 
On-therapy (Day 2 to 4) Visit: Participants will be instructed to return to the study 
site 1 to 3 days following study treatment administration at Baseline in order to 
complete the On-therapy Visit. Assessments will be performed as shown in the SoA 
(Section 1.3), including the following: 
• 
The On-therapy Visit will be preceded by a documented reminder contact from 
the study site to the participant 24 ± 4 hours before the scheduled appointment 
time per the method (e.g., text message, telephone call, e-mail) confirmed with 
the study site staff prior to departing the study site on Day 1. 
• 
At the On-therapy Visit should be scheduled to support completion of the 
predose plasma & spot urine and postdose plasma & pooled urine PK samples 
collection, if at all possible: 
• 
Participants will go to the study site before taking the morning dose, have 
the PK sample collection performed, and then take the morning dose, while 
aiming to keep the time of dosing as close as possible to 12 hours after the 
previous evening dose was taken. 
• 
Participants will remain at the study site until approximately 2 hours (1.5 to 
4 hours) after dosing, during which time all Day 1 posttreatment 
assessments will be performed (i.e., triplicate ECG and postdose PK sample 
collection), as shown in Section 1.3. 
• 
At the On-therapy Visit, whenever it is possible, the participant will have the 
pregnancy test performed at the study site. If the visit coincides with the 8th 
dose, the participant will take their next dose of study treatment at the study site 
after negative pregnancy test results are confirmed. 
• 
Before the On-therapy Visit, if the requirement for the single pregnancy test to 
be done between dose 4 and dose 8 cannot be done at the study site due to 
availability of open clinic hours and the investigator considers the participant 
reliable to accurately perform the study-provided pregnancy test at home will be 
instructed to do so. If the pregnancy test is negative, those participants will be 
instructed to take their next dose of study treatment at home via text or by study 
site staff before going to the study site for their On-therapy Visit. 
Note: The On-therapy Visit should be scheduled to support completion of the 
postdose PK sample collection and ECG within the protocol-defined window. 
Also, in WOCBP, the high sensitivity pregnancy test must be performed and 
show negative results at the latest before Dose 8 of study treatment is taken. 
• 
Specimens for microbiological testing will be collected, as described in Section 
8.1. Clinical signs and symptoms of acute cystitis will be recorded, as described

in Section 8.1.3.1 and 10.10. 
 
 
• 
Pregnancy testing, as required, after Dose 4 and before Dose 8. Refer to Section 
8.2.5 for details. 
• 
TOC (Day 10 to 13) Visit: Participants will be instructed to return to the study site 5 
to 8 days after completion of study treatment in order to complete the TOC Visit. 
Assessments will be performed as shown in the SoA (Section 1.3), including the 
following: 
• 
The TOC Visit will be preceded by a documented reminder contact from the 
study site to the participant 24 ± 4 hours before the scheduled appointment time 
per the method (e.g., text message, telephone call, e-mail) confirmed with the 
study site staff prior to departing the study site on Day 1. 
• 
Specimens for microbiological testing will be collected, as described in Section 
8.1. Clinical signs and symptoms of acute cystitis will be recorded, as described 
in Section 8.1.3.1 and 10.10. Investigator assessment of clinical response will be 
documented per the definitions described in Section 8.1.3.2and 10.11. 
 
 
• 
Follow-up (Day 28±3) Visit: Participants will be instructed to return to the study site 
on Day 28 (±3) in order to complete the Follow-up Visit. Assessments will be 
performed as shown in Section 1.3, including the following: 
• 
The Follow-up Visit will be preceded by a documented reminder contact from 
the study site to the participant 24 ±4 hours before the scheduled appointment 
time per the method (e.g., text message, telephone call, e-mail) confirmed with 
the study site staff prior to departing the study site on Day 1. 
• 
Specimens for microbiological testing will be collected, as described in Section 
8.1. Clinical signs and symptoms of acute cystitis will be recorded, as described 
in Section 8.1.3.1 and 10.10. Investigator assessment of clinical response will be 
documented per the definitions described in Section 8.1.3.2 and 10.11.
 
 
• 
Participants experiencing signs and symptoms suggestive of infection recurrence 
or relapse will be assessed and treated per the investigator’s judgement. 
8.1. Efficacy Assessments 
Planned timepoints for all efficacy assessments are provided in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
8.1.1. 
Therapeutic Response Evaluation 
Therapeutic response (success/failure) is a measure of the overall efficacy response. A 
therapeutic success refers to participants who have been deemed both a “microbiological 
success” (see Section 8.1.2.1) and a “clinical success” (see Section 8.1.3.1). All other 
combinations (other than clinical success + microbiological success) will be deemed 
failures for therapeutic response.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
Therapeutic response will be determined by statistical programming for the TOC and 
Follow-up Visits. 
Therapeutic response at TOC is the primary efficacy endpoint. 
8.1.2. 
Bacteriology Samples 
At the Baseline Visit, a pretreatment, clean-catch midstream urine sample must be 
obtained from all randomized participants for Gram stain, quantitative bacteriological 
culture, and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing at a designated central 
laboratory(ies). For inclusion in the micro-ITT Population, a baseline qualifying bacterial 
uropathogen is required as defined in Section 10.8; for inclusion in the micro-ITT NTF-S 
Population, the baseline qualifying uropathogen must also be susceptible to 
nitrofurantoin. At the On-therapy, TOC, and Follow-up Visits, a clean-catch midstream 
urine sample will be obtained and sent to a designated central laboratory(ies) for Gram 
stain, quantitative bacteriological culture, and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing. 
Identification and susceptibility testing of isolates recovered from urine specimens at all 
visits will also be conducted at a designated central laboratory(ies). Additional tests, as 
needed, to further characterize recovered isolates will also be performed by a designated 
central laboratory(ies). Instructions for sample collection, processing, and shipment are 
provided in the SRM and the laboratory manual. The study site should follow the 
Microbiology Procedures section of the laboratory manual to minimize potential 
contamination of the specimens. 
8.1.2.1. 
Microbiological Outcome and Response 
Only those participants who have a qualifying bacterial uropathogen (defined in Section 
10.8) identified at Baseline will be evaluated for microbiological outcome and response 
by baseline qualifying uropathogen for the primary efficacy endpoint. The 
microbiological outcome and response to study treatment will be determined 
programmatically for each participant/uropathogen prior to breaking of the study blind. 
The microbiological outcome by baseline qualifying uropathogen is determined by 
comparing the baseline culture results to the culture results at each subsequent visit (see 
Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6 for baseline qualifying uropathogen outcomes). The 
corresponding microbiological response (success or failure) “by uropathogen” is then 
assigned, as shown in Table 5 and Table 6. Participant-level microbiological response is a 
measure of the combined “by uropathogen” response(s). Participant-level microbiological 
success refers to participants who have been deemed a “microbiological success” for all 
of their “by uropathogen” microbiological responses. All other combinations (other than 
all “microbiological successes”) are deemed failures for participant-level microbiological 
response. The participant-level microbiological outcome and response definitions are 
provided in Table 7. 
Microbiological outcome criteria for new qualifying uropathogens (i.e., uropathogens not 
identified at Baseline) are defined by visit in  
Table 8, Table 9, and Table 10.

Clinical Signs and Symptom Scores, Clinical Outcomes, and Clinical 
Response 
Clinical signs and symptoms of acute cystitis will be recorded based on participant 
interview per the SoA (Section 1.3) using the scoring system and instructions in 10.10. At 
Baseline, the participant must present with at least 2 signs and symptoms and have a total 
cumulative symptom score ≥2. At TOC, success is defined as normal presentation of 
signs and symptoms with a total cumulative symptom score of zero and no new signs and 
symptoms of the infection under study.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
A study physician or otherwise appropriately medically trained staff will determine the 
individual clinical signs and symptoms scores for acute cystitis (10.10) at the On-therapy, 
TOC, and Follow up Visits. The same scorer will be used at all assessment time points 
for each participant, on all occasions, whenever possible. The score will be used to 
programmatically determine the clinical outcome at the On-therapy Visit (Table 11) and 
the clinical outcome and response (success or failure) at the TOC Visit (Table 12) and the 
Follow-up Visit (Table 13).

8.1.3.2. 
Investigator Assessment of Clinical Response 
The clinical signs and symptoms score will be determined for the primary endpoint, as 
described in Section 8.1.3.1 and 10.10. In addition, for secondary and exploratory 
purposes, a separate assessment of clinical response will be performed at the TOC and 
Follow-up Visits, or at the time of early withdrawal (Section 1.3). The investigator will 
assess the clinical response (clinical success, clinical failure, or indeterminate) for each 
participant based on the definitions in Section 10.11 and will document the response and 
reason(s) for clinical failure or indeterminate response, if applicable, in the eCRF. This 
assessment should be completed after the clinical signs and symptoms score is 
determined by the same study physician or otherwise appropriately medically trained 
staff who performed the clinical scoring assessment (Section 8.1.3.1 and 10.10). 
8.2. Safety Assessments 
Planned timepoints for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
8.2.1. 
Physical Examinations 
• 
A physical examination will be performed at the timepoints indicated in the SoA 
(Section 1.3) as follows: 
• 
At Baseline, the examination will include assessments of the respiratory, CV, 
abdominal, gastrointestinal, neurological, and urogenital systems. Height and 
weight will also be measured and recorded at the Baseline Visit (before dosing). 
• 
At the TOC Visits, the physical examination may be symptom directed and is 
only required if indicated for a specific participant. 
• 
Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious 
illnesses. 
• Clinically significant changes from baseline or clinically significant new clinical 
signs will be reported as AEs. 
8.2.2. 
Vital Signs 
• 
Vital signs will be measured at the time points indicated in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• 
Vital signs will be measured in a semi-supine position after 5 minutes rest and will 
include temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate. 
• 
Vital sign measurements should be obtained before any blood draws scheduled on 
the same assessment day. 
• Clinically significant changes from baseline will be reported as AEs. 
8.2.3. 
Electrocardiograms 
• 
Tripricate 12-lead ECGs (over an approximate 5- to 10-minute period) will be 
obtained as outlined in the SoA (see Section 1.3) using an ECG machine that 
automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTc 


TMF-15095845 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
 
 
 
75 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
intervals. Refer to Section 7.1.2 for QTc withdrawal criteria and additional QTc 
readings that may be necessary. 
• 
Ideally, ECGs will be obtained before any vital sign measurements or blood draws 
scheduled on the same assessment day; however, sites may perform procedures in an 
order per their standard of care, as long as participants return to a resting state prior 
to the start of the ECG collections. 
• 
If any additional ECGs are performed during the study (if deemed necessary by the 
investigator), those may be collected as a single ECG; however, if that initial single 
reading shows QTc prolongation, then triplicate ECGs should also be performed (see 
Section 7.1.2). 
• 
If clinically significant changes occur during the study, they will be reported as AEs. 
• Electrocardiograms will be reviewed locally by the investigator for safety purposes.  
8.2.4. 
Clinical Safety Laboratory Tests 
• 
See 10.2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the SoA (Section 
1.3) for the timing and frequency.  
• 
The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record 
any clinically significant changes occurring during the study as an AE. The 
laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents.  
• 
Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease are not 
considered clinically significant, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe 
than expected for the participant's condition. 
• 
All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study should be repeated until the values return to normal or 
baseline or are no longer considered significantly abnormal by the investigator or 
medical monitor.  
• 
If clinically significant values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of 
time judged reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and 
the sponsor notified. 
• 
All protocol-required laboratory tests, as defined in Section 10.2, must be conducted 
in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• 
If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory tests performed at the 
institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant management or are 
considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., SAE or AE or dose 
modification), then the results must be recorded. 
8.2.5. 
Pregnancy Testing 
• Refer to Section 5.1 Inclusion Criteria for screening pregnancy criteria. 
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) should only be included after a 
confirmed menstrual period and a negative urine pregnancy test. 


TMF-15095845 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
 
 
 
76 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
• Pregnancy testing will be performed at Baseline (Day 1) before study treatment 
administration. The urine pregnancy test at Baseline will determine study 
contraception and abstinence requirements as follows: 
• Pregnancy testing at Baseline (Day 1) should be performed using the urine test kit 
provided to the study site (with a high sensitivity of ≤12.5 mIU/mL). Participants 
with a negative urine pregnancy test result from this test kit may be included in 
the study with no pretreatment contraception or abstinence requirements. Women 
of childbearing protentional are not required to be using contraception or to have 
practiced abstinence within 14 days prior to study entry if the high sensitivity 
urine pregnancy test results are negative at Baseline (Day 1). 
Note:  ONLY if the study-specific pregnancy kit provided to the study site is 
unavailable, a standard urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL may 
be used as an exception. A participant with a negative urine pregnancy test result 
from the standard test may be included in the study only if the participant has 
used a highly effective contraception method as described in Section 10.4.2 or has 
practiced abstinence from penile/vaginal intercourse for at least 14 days before 
receiving study treatment. 
• After Dose 4 and before Dose 8, an additional pregnancy test using the urine test kit 
provided to the study site (with a sensitivity of ≤12.5 mIU/mL) is required to be 
performed for WOCBP who have not used a highly effective contraception method 
(in Section 10.4.2) or have not practiced abstinence from penile/vaginal intercourse 
for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. It is preferable for this 
pregnancy test to be performed at the study site; however, for participants for whom 
this is not possible, the urine pregnancy kit will be provided to the participant to 
perform as an outpatient during the defined window. For any participant with a 
positive pregnancy test result, study treatment must be immediately discontinued. 
• A pregnancy test will also be performed at the Test-of-Cure (Day 10 to 13) Visit, 5 to 
8 days after the last dose of study treatment.  
• Pregnancy testing will be performed whenever a menstrual cycle is missed or when 
pregnancy is otherwise suspected. 
• Additional serum or urine pregnancy tests may be performed, as determined 
necessary by the investigator or required by local regulation, to establish the absence 
of pregnancy at any time during the subject's participation in the study. 
8.3. Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Other 
Safety Reporting 
The definitions of adverse events (AEs) or serious adverse events (SAEs) can be found in 
Section 10.3. 
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, 
or the participant's legally authorized representative). 
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, 
and recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
following up AEs that are serious, considered related to the study intervention or the 
study, or that caused the participant to discontinue the study intervention or study (see 
Section 7).  
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Section 10.3. 
8.3.1. 
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE 
Information 
• 
All SAEs will be collected from the start of study intervention until the follow-up 
visit at the timepoints specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). However, any SAEs 
assessed as related to study participation (e.g., study intervention, protocol-mandated 
procedures, invasive tests, or change in existing therapy) or related to a GSK product 
will be recorded from the time a participant consents to participate in the study. 
• 
All AEs will be collected from the start of intervention until the follow-up visit at the 
timepoints specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• 
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention but after 
obtaining informed consent will be recorded as medical history/current medical 
conditions not as AEs. 
• 
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and 
under no circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Section 10.3. The 
investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it 
being available. 
• 
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs after 
conclusion of the study participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, 
including a death, at any time after a participant has been discharged from the study, 
and he/she considers the event to be reasonably related to the study intervention or 
study participation, the investigator must promptly notify the sponsor. 
8.3.2. 
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs 
• 
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and 
the procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Section 
10.3. 
• 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-
ended and nonleading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to 
inquire about AE occurrence.  
8.3.3. 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs, and non-serious AEs of special 
interest (as defined in Section 8.3.7), will be followed until the event is resolved, 
stabilized, otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in 
Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is given in Section 10.3.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
8.3.4. 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
• Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that 
legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the 
safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.  
• The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRBs)/Independent Ethics Committees (IECs), and investigators. 
• An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements. 
Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSARs) according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary. 
8.3.5. 
Pregnancy 
• Details of all pregnancies in female participants will be collected after the start of 
study intervention and until the follow-up visit. 
• If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to GSK within 24 hours of learning of the female 
participant pregnancy. While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, 
any pregnancy complication or elective termination of a pregnancy for medical 
reasons will be reported as an AE or SAE. 
• Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (e.g., spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs and will be reported 
as such. 
• The participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
investigator will collect follow-up information on the participant and the neonate and 
the information will be forwarded to the sponsor. 
• Any post-study pregnancy-related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the investigator will be reported to the sponsor as described in Section 
8.3.4. While the investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information in 
former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE through spontaneous 
reporting. 
• Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
discontinue study intervention.

8.3.6. 
Cardiovascular and Death Events 
For any cardiovascular events detailed in Section 10.3 and all deaths, whether or not they 
are considered SAEs, specific Cardiovascular (CV) and Death sections of the CRF will 
be required to be completed. These sections include questions regarding cardiovascular 
(including sudden cardiac death) and non-cardiovascular death.  
The CV CRFs are presented as queries in response to reporting of certain CV MedDRA 
terms. The CV information should be recorded in the specific cardiovascular section of 
the CRF within one week of receipt of a CV Event data query prompting its completion.   
The Death CRF is provided immediately after the occurrence or outcome of death is 
reported. Initial and follow-up reports regarding death must be completed within one 
week of when the death is reported. 
8.3.7. 
Adverse Events of Special Interest 
Predefined AEs of special interest for this study are CV events, gastrointestinal events, C. 
difficile infection or colitis events, and AEs related to acetylcholinesterase inhibition (see 
Section 2.3.1), which will be identified by a prespecified list of coded terms or 
determined by algorithm, as described in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). 
8.4. Pharmacokinetics 
Whole blood, spot urine and pooled urine samples (approximately blood 3 mL and urine 
1mL, respectively) will be collected for measurement of plasma and urine concentrations 
of gepotidacin as specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• 
Instructions for the collection and handling of biological samples will be 
provided by the sponsor. The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of each 
sample collected will be recorded. 
Note: For the pooled urine sample, the volume of complete urination also will be 
recorded. 
• 
Complete urination is required when collecting a urine sample for 
bacteriological testing. The time of urination performed is set as the start of the 
urine pooling and will be recorded.  
• 
At the On-therapy Visit, as the spot urine sample collection coincides with the 
urine bacteriology sample collection, a single urine sample of adequate volume 
may be collected and split into separate samples for urine PK and 
microbiological purposes.  
• 
The date and time of the last dose taken before the PK sample (plasma and 
urine) collection will be recorded. 
Note: The date and time of the last dose taken at home before hospital visit is 
also needed for the baseline PK sample collection. 
• 
Samples will be used to evaluate the PK of gepotidacin. Each whole blood 
sample will be processed into plasma.

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
• PK Samples will be analysed using an appropriately validated assay method by or 
under the supervision of the sponsor. 
• Intervention concentration information that would unblind the study will not be 
reported to investigative sites or blinded personnel until the study has been 
unblinded. 
8.5. Pharmacodynamics 
Minimum inhibitory concentration values will be included for population PK/PD 
analyses examining the potential relationship between gepotidacin exposure and clinical 
and microbiological response at the TOC Visit, if data permit. (The related description is 
in Section 9.3.5) 
8.6. Genetics 
In this study, genetics may be evaluated after review by the ethical review committee 
established by GSK in accordance with Japanese Ethical Guidelines for Bioscience, 
Medical and Health Research Involving Human Subjects. 
A 6 mL blood sample for DNA isolation will be collected from participants who have 
consented to participate in the genetics analysis component of the study. Participation is 
optional. Participants who do not wish to participate in the genetic research may still 
participate in the study. 
In the event of DNA extraction failure, a replacement genetic blood sample may be 
requested from the participant. Signed informed consent will be required to obtain a 
replacement sample unless it was included in the original consent. 
Details on processes for collection and shipment and destruction of these samples can be 
found in Section 10.5.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
The statistical analysis plan will be finalized prior to DBL and it will include a more 
technical and detailed description of the statistical analyses described in this section. This 
section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most important endpoints 
including primary and key secondary endpoints. 
9.1. Statistical Hypotheses 
The primary objective is to assess “consistency” with the global study results, this will be 
compared with the predictive distribution of Japanese participants expected to achieve 
therapeutic response on the gepotidacin arm at the TOC visit, where the predictive 
distribution is estimated from the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). 
“Consistency” is defined as:  
𝑝̂𝑎>
𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%)
𝑛𝑎𝑗
 
, where:  
𝑝̂𝑎: Observed proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success on gepotidacin in 
this study 
𝑛𝑎𝑗: Number of participants in gepotidacin of this study 
𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%): The lower 10th percentile of the cumulative distribution of the prior predictive 
distribution derived from the global study data for the expected number of participants 
achieving therapeutic success out of 𝑛𝑎𝑗 participants.  
Therefore, 
𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%)
𝑛𝑎𝑗 is the threshold response rate that needs to be observed to meet 
therapeutic success, assuming the response rate is consistent with the global study 
response rate. The predictive distribution is defined as:  
𝑟𝑎𝑗∼∫𝐵𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑎𝑙(𝑟𝑎𝑗|𝑛𝑎𝑗, 𝑝𝑎) × 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑎(𝑝𝑎|𝛼= 𝑟𝑎𝑔, 𝛽= 𝑛𝑎𝑔−𝑟𝑎𝑔)𝑑𝑝𝑎 
, where:  
𝑟𝑎𝑗: The expected number of participants achieving therapeutic success in the gepotidacin 
arm of this study 
𝑟𝑎𝑔: The pooled number of participants achieving therapeutic success in the gepotidacin 
arm across both global studies.  
𝑛𝑎𝑔: The pooled number of participants in the gepotidacin arms across both global 
studies.  
The two global studies (204989 and 212390) have almost the same study design and the 
therapeutic response would be almost the same as well. Therefore, the data will be simply 
pooled to derive the predictive distribution.  
Example:

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
Assuming 884 participants on the gepotidacin arm and a 76% observed therapeutic 
response rate in the global studies, there is an approximately 10% probability of 
observing <= 56 out of 81 responders in this study if the true gepotidacin response rate in 
this study is consistent with the response rate estimated from the global studies. 
Therefore, the success rule for gepotidacin is set to require a therapeutic response rate 
greater than 69.1% (56/81) in order to demonstrate consistency with global results in this 
example.  
The secondary objective is to assess the difference between the therapeutic response of 
gepotidacin with the nitrofurantoin therapeutic response at the TOC Visit in Japanese 
female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis with qualifying bacterial 
uropathogen(s) at Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin. The difference in the 
therapeutic response rate between gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin will be assessed 
descriptively.  
9.1.1. 
Multiplicity Adjustment 
No multiplicity approaches will be used.  
9.2. Analysis Sets 
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined: 
Population 
Description 
Intent-to-Treat (ITT) 
Population 
All participants randomly assigned to study treatment. Participants 
will be analyzed according to their randomized study treatment. 
Microbiological ITT 
(micro-ITT) Population 
All participants randomly assigned to study treatment who receive 
at least 1 dose of study treatment and have a qualifying baseline 
uropathogen (defined in 10.8), from a quantitative bacteriological 
culture of a pretreatment clean-catch midstream urine specimen. 
Participants will be analyzed according to their randomized study 
treatment. 
Micro-ITT NTF-S 
Population 
All participants in the micro-ITT Population whose baseline 
qualifying bacterial uropathogens all are susceptible to 
nitrofurantoin (NTF-S). Participants with missing MIC susceptibility 
results for any qualifying uropathogens will not be included in the 
NTF-S subpopulation. Participants will be analyzed according to 
their randomized study treatment. 
Micro-ITT NTF-S (Global 
Study) Population 
All participants from the global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) in the micro-ITT NTF-S Population defined in individual

Micro-ITT NTF-S (Entire) 
Population 
All participants from micro-ITT NTF-S Population and micro-ITT 
NTF-S Population (Global Study) Population.  
This is the primary analysis population.   
Micro-ITT MDR Population 
All participants in the micro-ITT Population who have any 
qualifying baseline bacterial uropathogens that are resistant to 
two or more classes of antimicrobials. Participants will be 
analyzed according to their randomized study treatment.  
Pharmacokinetic (PK) 
Population 
All randomized participants who receive at least 1 dose of study 
treatment and have at least 1 nonmissing plasma or urine PK 
concentration (Non-quantifiable [NQ] values will be considered as 
non-missing values). This population will be used in the 
assessment and characterization of plasma and urine 
concentrations (summary table).

All randomized participants who receive at least 1 dose of study 
treatment. Participants will be analyzed according to their actual 
treatment received. 
 
9.3. Statistical Analyses 
9.3.1. 
Primary Estimand Analysis 
The primary analysis of the primary estimand will be performed using the micro-ITT 
NTF-S (Entire) population.  
The primary endpoint is therapeutic response (combined per-participant microbiological 
and clinical response) at the TOC Visit. Therapeutic success refers to participants who 
have been deemed both a microbiological success and a clinical success (i.e. responders).  
The primary treatment effect will be estimated regardless of treatment discontinuation, as 
per the treatment policy strategy. The ICE of use of other systemic antimicrobial therapy 
is captured through the definitions of microbiological and clinical response and will be 
counted as failures (composite strategy). If a participant experiences both ICEs of study 
treatment discontinuation and use of systemic antimicrobials, then a composite strategy 
(assigning therapeutic response as a failure) will be used from the point that the relevant 
systemic antimicrobial was taken. Further details on the primary estimand are provided in 
Section 3.  
The number and proportion of participants achieving a therapeutic success will be 
presented along with its 95% Exact Clopper Pearson CI at the TOC visit and compared 
with the threshold for consistency with the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). 
The threshold will be derived with covariate adjustment as follows. For this analysis,

participants who do not return for the TOC Visit or have missing data at the TOC Visit 
will be treated as failures.  
1. Derive the prior for therapeutic success rate in each stratum in EAGLE2/3 studies 
based on the definition of stratification factor in this study 
𝑝𝑘~𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑎(𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙, 𝑛𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙−𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙) 
, where 𝑛𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙 are the pooled number of participants and 
therapeutic responders who are assigned to the gepotidacin group of 𝑘𝑡ℎ stratum 
in the micro-ITT NTF-S population across both global studies (Studies 204989 
and 212390), respectively.  
2. Derive the predictive distribution for the number of participants achieving 
therapeutic success in each stratum 
𝑟𝑘,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛~𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑎𝑙(𝑛𝑘,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛, 𝛼= 𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙, 𝛽= 𝑛𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙−𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙) 
, where 𝑛𝑘,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑟𝑘,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛 are the number of participants and therapeutic 
responders who are assigned to the gepotidacin group of 𝑘𝑡ℎ stratum in the micro-
ITT NTF-S population, respectively.  
3. Derive lower 10%tile as a threshold using simulation 
a. Set 𝑗= 1 
b. Sample 𝑟𝑘,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(𝑗)
 from 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑎𝑙(𝑛𝑘,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛, 𝛼= 𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙, 𝛽= 𝑛𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙−
𝑟𝑘,𝑔𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙) for each stratum (𝑘= 1, … , 𝐾) 
c. Calculate 𝑟𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(𝑗)
= 𝑟1,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(𝑗)
+ 𝑟2,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(𝑗)
+ ⋯+ 𝑟𝐾,𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(𝑗)
 and set 𝑗←𝑗+ 1 
d. Repeat the step b and c. 
e. Obtain the lower 10%tile (𝑟𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(10%)) of 𝑟𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(𝑗)
 
f. Calculate the threshold as 𝑟𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
(10%) 𝑛𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛
⁄
 where 𝑛𝐽𝑎𝑝𝑎𝑛 is the number of 
participants in the gepotidacin group.  
Sensitivity analysis on the primary estimand will be done to assess the impact of missing 
data using a tipping point analysis. Tipping point analysis will vary assumption on the 
proportion of participants with missing data who achieve therapeutic success on the 
gepotidacin arm in the Japan study and global studies. For each combination of assumed 
therapeutic success rate on the gepotidacin arm in Japan study and global studies, the 
number of additional participants achieving therapeutic success among participants with 
missing therapeutic response will be imputed by drawing from a binomial distribution. 
The details will be provided in the SAP.

uncomplicated cystitis who have qualifying uropathogen(s) resistant to “two or more” 
specific classes of antimicrobials at baseline where the micro-ITT MDR Population will 
be used. The number and proportion of participants with therapeutic success will be 
summarized, along with the 95% Exact Clopper Pearson CI, at the TOC Visit by 
treatment group. The ICE of use of other systemic antimicrobials is captured through the 
defining criteria of microbiological and clinical response (Section 8.1.2.1 and 8.1.3.1). 
Participants who do not return for the TOC Visit or have missing data at the TOC Visit 
will be treated as failures. 
The difference in proportions of participants achieving therapeutic success for 
gepotidacin compared to nitrofurantoin and the 95% CI of the difference will be 
summarized at TOC Visit. Miettinen-Nurminen (score) confidence limits for the 
treatment difference will be computed. The MN estimate of the common risk difference 
and variance is computed by combining the point estimates and variances from the 
individual strata using MN weights. The estimate uses inverse variance stratum weights 
to produce MN confidence limits for the stratum risk differences. In addition, 
supplementary analysis using Bayesian dynamic borrowing will be carried out to estimate 
the treatment difference in the Japanese population using data from each treatment group 
of the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). Further details will be provided in the 
SAP.

Safety Analysis 
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Population. All reported AEs will be 
coded using MedDRA and summarized by system organ class and preferred terms.  
The safety estimand will use a treatment policy strategy for the ICE of study treatment 
discontinuation, as safety will be assessed at all post-baseline assessments irrespective of 
whether the participant completed the treatment.  
Treatment-emergent AE (TEAE) is defined if AE onset date/time is on or after treatment 
start date/time. The number and proportion of treatment-emergent AEs, study treatment-
related AEs, deaths, SAEs, and AEs leading to study treatment or study withdrawal will 
be provided. Treatment-emergent AEs will be summarized by maximum intensity.  
Adverse events of special interest will include CV, gastrointestinal, and Clostridioides 
difficile infection or colitis events. In addition, AEs associated with acetylcholinesterase 
inhibition are also considered special interest. As described in the SAP, manual and 
programmatic reviews of AEs/preferred terms will be used to assess these events.  
The severity of specified AEs and laboratory abnormalities will be graded according to 
the modified DMID toxicity grading system (Section 10.12). Data will be tabulated and 
reported by absolute grade for Grades 3 and higher, and shift tables, as appropriate.  
Change from baseline over time in laboratory parameters, ECGs and vital signs will be 
summarized with descriptive statistics. The frequency of laboratory abnormality events 
along with the shift from baseline to the worst-case post-baseline value will be provided. 
Abnormal liver chemistry results will be determined using increases above the upper 
limit of normal.  
9.3.5. 
PK and PK/PD analyses 
Plasma and urine concentrations for the PK Population will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics. In addition, gepotidacin plasma concentrations will be analyzed 
using a population approach to allow for the estimation of gepotidacin exposure in each

participant. A nonlinear mixed-effects model will be used to determine population PK 
parameters and to identify relevant covariates (e.g., renal function, age, weight, or race).  
9.4. Interim Analysis 
No formal interim analysis is planned. On the other hand, blinded review for therapeutic, 
clinical and microbiological response at the TOC visit may be conducted during the study 
to evaluate if the blinded results have been far from the expected.  
9.5. Sample Size Determination 
This study is not designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of the gepotidacin to 
nitrofurantoin but designed to demonstrate consistency of this study with the global 
studies for therapeutic response of the gepotidacin.  
9.5.1. 
Gepotidacin Sample Size 
Approximately 81 participants in the gepotidacin treatment group is considered an 
appropriate sample size to evaluate consistency between this study and both global 
studies (Studies 204989 and 212390).  
Assuming 81 participants in the micro-ITT NTF-S population on gepotidacin and an 
observed 76% therapeutic success rate out of 884 participants in the global studies, the 
therapeutic response in the gepotidacin arm in this study would need to be greater than 
69.1% to declare “consistency” with the global studies.  
9.5.1.1. 
Sample Size Sensitivity 
Table 14 demonstrates a range of observed therapeutic response rates and the number of 
participants on the gepotidacin arm in this study against the corresponding consistency 
thresholds required in this study assuming 884 participants on the gepotidacin arm in 
both global studies.

Data Quality Assurance 
• 
All participant data relating to the study will be recorded on printed or electronic 
CRFs unless transmitted to the sponsor or designee electronically (e.g., laboratory 
data). The investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries are accurate and 
correct by physically or electronically signing the CRF.  
• 
Guidance on completion of CRFs will be provided in the electronic data capture 
system. 
• 
Quality tolerance limits (QTLs) will be pre-defined in the QTL report (field within 
the TMF) to identify systematic issues that can impact participant safety and/or 
reliability of study results. These pre-defined parameters will be monitored during 
and at the end of the study and all deviations from the QTLs and remedial actions 
taken will be summarized in the clinical study report. 
• 
The investigator must permit study-related monitoring, audits, IRB/IEC review, and 
regulatory agency inspections and provide direct access to source data documents.  
• 
Monitoring details describing strategy including definition of study critical data 
items and processes (e.g., risk-based initiatives in operations and quality such as risk 
management and mitigation strategies and analytical risk-based monitoring), 
methods, responsibilities and requirements, including handling of noncompliance 
issues and monitoring techniques (central, remote, or on-site monitoring) are 
provided in the Monitoring Plan. In addition, refer to Section 10.9 for details 
regarding allowed revisions to study conduct and/or monitoring due to COVID-19.

Source Documents 
• 
Source documents provide evidence for the existence of the participant and 
substantiate the integrity of the data collected. Source documents are filed at the 
investigator’s site. 
• 
Data reported on the CRF or entered in the eCRF that are transcribed from source 
documents must be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies must 
be explained. The investigator may need to request previous medical records or 
transfer records, depending on the study. Also, current medical records must be 
available. 
• 
Definition of what constitutes source data and its origin can be found in the Study 
Reference Manual. 
• 
The investigator must maintain accurate documentation (source data) that supports 
the information entered in the CRF. 
• 
Study monitors will perform ongoing source data verification to confirm that data 
entered into the CRF by authorized site personnel are accurate, complete, and 
verifiable from source documents; that the safety and rights of participants are being 
protected; and that the study is being conducted in accordance with the currently 
approved protocol and any other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all applicable 
regulatory requirements.  
10.1.9. 
Study and Site Start and Closure 
First Act of Recruitment 
The first participant enrolled is considered the first act of recruitment and will be the 
study start date. 
Study/Site Termination 
GSK or designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any 
time for any reason at the sole discretion of GSK. Study sites will be closed upon study 
completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study 
supplies have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed. 
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable 
cause and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination. 
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include 
but are not limited to: 
For study termination: 
•

10.3. 
Appendix 3: AEs and SAEs: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting 
10.3.1. 
Definition of AE 
AE Definition 
• 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not 
considered related to the study intervention. 
• 
NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) 
temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. 
 
Events Meeting the AE Definition 
• Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) 
or other safety assessments (e.g., ECG, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (i.e., not 
related to progression of underlying disease). 
• Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
• New condition detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected intervention- intervention 
interaction. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as 
an AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae. 
"Lack of efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" per se will not be 
reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy assessments. 
However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy 
will be reported as AE or SAE if they fulfill the definition of an AE or SAE. 
 
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition  
• 
Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments that are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition.

CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
 
 
 
100 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
• 
The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition. 
• 
Medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is the AE. 
• 
Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
• 
Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) 
present or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen. 
 
10.3.2. 
Definition of SAE 
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, 
death due to progression of disease). 
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, meets one or 
more of the criteria listed: 
a. 
Results in death 
b. 
Is life threatening 
The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in which the 
participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, 
which hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
c. 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing 
hospitalization 
• 
In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been admitted 
(usually involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency 
ward for observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in 
the physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications that occur during 
hospitalization are AE. If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills 
any other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether 
“hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered 
serious. 
• 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not 
worsen from baseline is not considered an AE. 
d. 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• 
The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to 
conduct normal life functions. 
• 
This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor 
medical significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, 
diarrhea, influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g. sprained ankle) that may

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
interfere with or prevent everyday life functions but do not constitute a 
substantial disruption. 
e. 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
f. 
Other situations: 
• Possible Hy’s Law case: ALT≥3xULN AND total bilirubin ≥2xULN (>35% 
direct bilirubin) or international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5 must be reported 
as SAE 
• Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised by the investigator in 
deciding whether SAE reporting is appropriate in other situations such as 
significant medical events that may jeopardize the participant or may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in 
the above definition. These events should usually be considered serious. 
o Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, 
intensive treatment for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, 
convulsions, or development of intervention dependency or intervention 
abuse. 
 
10.3.3. 
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

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
• 
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) 
related to the event. 
• 
The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information. 
• 
It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to GSK in lieu of completion of the GSK required form. 
• 
There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by GSK. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the 
participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to GSK. 
• 
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis 
(not the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
Assessment of Intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported 
during the study.  
• 
The severity of AEs and SAEs will be determined by the investigator according to 
the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Division of 
Microbiology and Infectious Diseases criteria for adult toxicity assessment, with 
the exception of serum creatinine adolescent laboratory data, which be assessed 
using paediatric toxicity criteria (Section 10.12). 
 
Assessment of Causality 
• 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention 
and each occurrence of each AE/SAE. The investigator will use clinical judgment 
to determine the relationship. 
• 
A reasonable possibility of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out. 
• 
Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• 
The investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment. 
• 
For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• 
There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to GSK. However, it is very

214144 
 
 
 
 
103 
Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every 
event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to GSK. 
• 
The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment. 
• 
The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements. 
 
Follow-up of AE and SAE 
• The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by GSK to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This 
may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological 
examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals. 
• If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-
up period, the investigator will provide GSK with a copy of any postmortem 
findings including histopathology. 
• New or updated information will be recorded in the originally submitted 
documents. 
• 
The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information. 
 
10.3.5. 
Reporting of SAE to GSK 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Electronic Data Collection Tool 
• 
The primary mechanism for reporting SAE to GSK will be the electronic data 
collection tool. 
• 
If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data 
collection tool (see next section) to report the event within 24 hours. 
• 
The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available. 
• 
After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will 
be taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
• 
If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives 
updated data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool 
has been taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE 
form (see next section) or to the medical monitor or SAE coordinator by 
telephone.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in relevant study user manual located in 
the Investigator Site File (ISF). 
 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper Data Collection Tool 
• Secure email transmission of the scanned SAE paper data collection tool is the 
preferred method to transmit this information to the medical monitor or the SAE 
coordinator. 
• In rare circumstances and in the absence of secure email facilities, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by 
overnight mail or courier service. 
• Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE data collection tool within the designated reporting time 
frames.

Appendix 4: Contraceptive and Barrier Guidance  
10.4.1. 
Definitions: 
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) 
Women in the following categories are considered WOCBP (fertile): 
1. 
Following menarche 
2. 
From the time of menarche until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently 
sterile (see below) 
Notes: 
• A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. 
o A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range 
may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal 
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the 
absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH 
measurement is required.  
o Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to 
use one of the non-estrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods 
if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must 
discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study 
enrollment. 
• Permanent sterilization methods (for the purpose of this study) include: 
o Documented hysterectomy 
o Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
o Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
• For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than 
the above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), 
investigator discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
 
If fertility is unclear (e.g., amenorrhea in adolescents or athletes) and a menstrual cycle 
cannot be confirmed before first dose of study intervention, additional evaluation should 
be considered. 
Woman of Nonchildbearing Potential (WONCBP) 
Women in the following categories are considered WONCBP:

1. Premenopausal female with permanent infertility due to one of the following (for the 
purpose of this study): 
a) Documented hysterectomy 
b) Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
c) Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
 
• 
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other 
than the above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal 
dysgenesis), investigator discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
2. Postmenopausal female 
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. 
o A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range 
may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal 
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the 
absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH 
measurement is required. 
o Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt must discontinue 
HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment. 
10.4.2. 
Contraception Guidance: 
Refer to Section 8.2.5 regarding pregnancy testing for female participants at Baseline 
(Day 1) and associated pretreatment contraception and abstinence requirements. Female 
participants who enter the study using contraception must continue to do so throughout 
the study. 
As described in Section 5.3, participants will be requested to abstain from sexual activity 
from the Baseline Visit through the TOC Visit to prevent possible re-infection. 
• 
CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE: 
• 
Highly Effective Methodsb That Have Low User Dependency Failure rate of <1% per 
year when used consistently and correctly. 
Implantable progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationc (not approved in Japan as contraceptive method)

Azoospermic partner (vasectomized or due to a to medical cause) 
• 
Azoospermia is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner is the sole sexual 
partner of the woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If 
not, an additional highly effective method of contraception should be used. Spermatogenesis cycle 
is approximately 90 days. 
Note: documentation of azoospermia for a male participant can come from the site personnel’s 
review of the participant’s medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
• 
Highly Effective Methods b That Are User Dependent Failure rate of <1% per year when 
used consistently and correctly. 
Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated 
with inhibition of ovulationc 
• 
oral 
• 
intravaginal (not approved in Japan as contraceptive method) 
•

Progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationc 
• 
oral (not approved in Japan as contraceptive method) 
• 
injectable (not approved in Japan as contraceptive method) 
Sexual abstinence 
• 
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. The 
reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study and the 
preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant 
a. 
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of 
contraceptive methods for those participating in clinical studies. 
b. 
Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Typical use failure rates differ from those 
when used consistently and correctly. 
c. 
Male condoms must be used in addition to hormonal contraception. If locally required, in accordance with 
Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) guidelines, acceptable contraceptive methods are limited to those 
which inhibit ovulation as the primary mode of action. 
 
Note: Periodic abstinence (calendar, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), 
spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) are not acceptable methods of contraception. Male 
condom and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure from friction)

Appendix 5: Genetics 
USE/ANALYSIS OF DNA 
• Genetic variation may impact a participant’s response to study intervention, 
susceptibility, severity and progression of disease. Variable response to study 
intervention may be due to genetic determinants that impact drug absorption, 
distribution, metabolism, and excretion; mechanism of action of the drug; disease 
etiology; and/or molecular subtype of the disease being treated. Therefore, where 
local regulations and IRB/IEC allow, a blood sample will be collected for DNA 
analysis. 
• DNA samples will be used for research related to gepotidacin or uncomplicated 
urinary tract infections and related diseases. They may also be used to develop 
tests/assays (including diagnostic tests) related to gepotidacin and uncomplicated 
urinary tract infection. Genetic research may consist of the analysis of one or more 
candidate genes or the analysis of genetic markers throughout the genome or analysis 
of the entire genome (as appropriate). 
• Additional analyses of DNA samples may be conducted if it is hypothesized that this 
may help further understand the clinical data.  
• The samples may be analyzed as part of a multi-study assessment of genetic factors 
involved in the response to gepotidacin or study interventions of this class. The 
results of genetic analyses may be reported in the clinical study report or in a separate 
study summary. 
• The sponsor will store the DNA samples in a secure storage space with adequate 
measures to protect confidentiality.  
• The samples will be retained while research on gepotidacin (or study interventions of 
this class) or uncomplicated urinary tract infections continues but no longer than 15 
years after the last subject last visit or other period as per local requirements.

biopsy form 
1. 
Serum bilirubin fractionation should be performed if testing is available. If serum bilirubin fractionation is not 
immediately available, discontinue study intervention for that participant if ALT ≥3xULN and total bilirubin ≥ 2xULN. 
Additionally, if serum bilirubin fractionation testing is unavailable, record presence of detectable urinary bilirubin on 
dipstick, indicating direct bilirubin elevations and suggesting liver injury.  
2. 
All events of ALT  3xULN and bilirubin  2xULN (>35% direct bilirubin) or ALT  3xULN and INR>1.5 which may 
indicate severe liver injury (possible ‘Hy’s Law’), must be reported as an SAE (excluding studies of hepatic 
impairment or cirrhosis); the INR threshold value stated will not apply to participants receiving anticoagulants 
3. 
New or worsening symptoms believed to be related to liver injury (such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper 
quadrant pain or tenderness, or jaundice) or believed to be related to hypersensitivity (such as fever, rash or 
eosinophilia)    
4. 
Includes: hepatitis A Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody; HBsAg and HBcAb; hepatitis C RNA; cytomegalovirus IgM 
antibody; Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen IgM antibody (or if unavailable, heterophile antibody or monospot testing); 
and hepatitis E IgM antibody. In those with underlying chronic hepatitis B at study entry (identified by positive hepatitis 
B surface antigen) quantitative hepatitis B DNA and hepatitis delta antibody.  If hepatitis delta antibody assay cannot 
be performed, it can be replaced with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of hepatitis D RNA virus (where needed) [Le 
Gal, 2005]. 
5. 
Record the date/time of the PK blood sample draw and the date/time of the last dose of study intervention prior to 
the PK blood sample draw on the CRF. If the date or time of the last dose is unclear, provide the participant’s best

Appendix 8: Algorithm for Determining Qualifying 
Uropathogens 
In addition to other criteria indicated in Section 9.3, to be included in the micro-ITT 
Population, participants must have a qualifying bacterial uropathogen (defined in 
Figure 2) at Baseline from a quantitative bacteriology culture of a pretreatment 
clean-catch midstream urine specimen. For inclusion into the micro-ITT NTF-S 
Population, all baseline qualifying uropathogen(s) must also be susceptible to 
nitrofurantoin. Qualifying uropathogen susceptibilities will be monitored in stream to 
ensure sufficient and balanced enrollment of participants with uropathogens resistant to 
specific microbiological classes. 
The algorithm for determining qualifying uropathogens based on microbiology laboratory 
quantitative culture results is provided in Figure 2, with additional algorithm details 
provided in the SAP.

Appendix 9: COVID-19 Protocol Information 
10.9.1. 
Overall Rationale for this Appendix 
The COVID-19 pandemic may impact the conduct of clinical studies. Challenges may 
arise from quarantines, site closures, travel limitations, interruptions to the supply chain 
for the investigational product or other considerations if site personnel or study 
participants become infected with COVID-19. These challenges may lead to difficulties 
in meeting protocol-specified procedures. 
This appendix outlines measures that may be applicable for any study site impacted by 
the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the appendix is to provide information on the 
measures to be taken to protect participants’ safety, welfare and rights, and promote data 
integrity. These measures are expected to be temporary and study sites will be notified of 
any change to these allowances as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves. 
10.9.2. 
Study Procedures During the COVID-19 Pandemic 
During the special circumstances caused by the current COVID-19 pandemic, sites 
should consider specific public health guidance, the impact of any travel restrictions 
implemented by local/regional health authorities and local institutions, and individual 
benefit/risk when making enrollment and treatment decisions for study participants. 
Every effort should be made to adhere to protocol-specified assessments for participants 
on study treatment, including follow-up assessments; however, when not possible, for the 
duration of these special circumstances, the following measures may be implemented: 
• 
Only where applicable country and local regulations and infrastructure allow, home 
healthcare (home visits and telemedicine visits) may be performed at the discretion 
of the investigator and following the participant signing of an informed 
consent/assent form specific for home healthcare. Specific details will be described 
in the Study Reference Manual. The participant should be informed of the home 
healthcare plan and any potential risks associated with home visits and telemedicine. 
The participant must sign an informed consent form specific to home healthcare. 
• 
For all study visits, to minimize the amount of time that participants spend at the 
clinic, eConsent may be utilized and remote collection of study-related data may be 
obtained as described in the Study Reference Manual. Thus, some visit data may be 
collected through a combination of telemedicine and on-site visits. Collection of 
information via telemedicine will be performed only where local regulations permit. 
• 
Clinical investigators should document in site/participant/source files how 
restrictions related to COVID-19 led to changes in study conduct, the duration of 
those changes, and indicate which trial participants were impacted and how those 
trial participants were impacted (as per the current local COVID-19 related 
regulatory guidance). 
• 
Missing protocol-required data/visits due to COVID-19 should be noted in 
site/participant/source files and recorded as a COVID-19 protocol deviation. 
Specifically for data management and monitoring the following will apply:

Clinical Study Protocol template V16 dated 24-Jun-2021 
• 
If on-site monitoring is no longer permitted, GSK will consider remote Source Data 
Verification/Source Document Review (SDV/SDR) where permitted by the clinical 
site/institution. Remote SDV/SDR will be proposed to study sites to meet a 
participant and/or critical quality need, e.g., to assess participant safety or to ensure 
data integrity. In case of remote SDV/SDR, GSK will work with the site to ensure 
participant privacy. 
• 
eCRF/CRF Final or Interim Sign-Off Process: The principal investigator is 
responsible for ensuring that the data within the eCRF casebook and any other data 
sources utilized during the study for each study participant is complete and consistent 
with source documents throughout the study (ICH GCP 4.9.1 4.9.2). The principal 
investigator may sign/re-sign the eCRF from any computer/location by accessing the 
validated system using his/her unique eCRF log-in credentials. The principal 
investigator may delegate this activity to another medically qualified and trained 
subinvestigator and this must be documented on the Delegation of Responsibilities 
Log. It is recommended that the principal investigator identifies a subinvestigator as 
a back-up for eCRF signatures and that appropriate training on the protocol and 
eCRF requirements is provided and documented. 
Essential Document Sign-Off Process: If an investigator is unable to print and sign 
essential documents such as Protocol/Amendment signature page then e-mail approval 
can be accepted by replying to the relevant e-mail that is sent by GSK.

Appendix 11: Investigator Assessment of Clinical Response 
Definitions 
For secondary and exploratory purposes, a separate assessment of clinical response will 
be performed at the TOC and Follow-up Visits, or at the time of early withdrawal 
(Section 1.3). This assessment should be completed after the clinical signs and symptoms 
score is determined by the same study physician or otherwise appropriately medically 
trained staff who performed the clinical scoring assessment (Section 8.1.3.1and 10.10). 
Clinical response will be assessed and documented in the eCRF according to the clinical 
response definitions as follows: 
Clinical Success 
• 
Sufficient resolution of acute cystitis signs and symptoms such that no additional 
systemic antimicrobial therapy is required for the current infection 
Clinical Failure 
Participant meets any one of the criteria below: 
• 
No apparent response to treatment (persistence or progression of any 
pretreatment clinical signs and symptoms) 
• 
Use of additional systemic antibiotic(s) for the current infection 
• 
Death related to acute cystitis prior to the visit 
Indeterminate 
Determination of clinical response cannot be made at the visit for any of the 
following reasons: 
• 
Participant was lost to follow-up and/or the clinical assessment was not 
undertaken 
• 
Use of confounding systemic antibiotic(s) for another infection 
• 
Death prior to the visit where acute cystitis was clearly noncontributory

Appendix 12: Division of Microbiology and Infectious 
Diseases Adult Toxicity Tables for Adverse Event 
Assessment 
ESTIMATING SEVERITY GRADE: For abnormalities NOT found elsewhere in the 
Toxicity Tables, use the scale below to estimate grade of severity: 
GRADE 1 
Mild 
Transient or mild discomfort (<48 hours); no medical 
intervention/therapy required 
GRADE 2 
Moderate 
Mild to moderate limitation in activity – some 
assistance may be needed; no or minimal medical 
intervention/therapy required 
GRADE 3 
Severe 
Marked limitation in activity, some assistance usually 
required; medical intervention/therapy required, 
hospitalizations possible 
GRADE 4 
Life-
threatening 
Extreme limitation in activity, significant assistance 
required; significant medical intervention/therapy 
required, hospitalization or hospice care probable 
 
SERIOUS OR LIFE-THREATENING AEs: ANY clinical event deemed by the 
investigator to be serious or life-threatening should be considered a Grade 4 event. 
Clinical events considered to be serious or life-threatening include, but are not limited to: 
seizures, coma, tetany, diabetic ketoacidosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, 
diffuse petechiae, paralysis, acute psychosis, and severe depression. 
COMMENTS REGARDING THE USE OF THESE TABLES 
• 
Standardized and commonly used toxicity tables (Division of AIDS, National Cancer 
Institute’s Common Toxicity Criteria, and World Health Organization) have been 
adapted for use by the Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) 
and modified to better meet the needs of participants in Division of Microbiology 
and Infectious Diseases (DMID) trials. 
• 
For parameters not included in the following Toxicity Tables, study sites should refer 
to the “Guide for Estimating Severity Grade” located above. 
• 
Criteria are generally grouped by body system. 
Note: Adult DMID toxicity criteria will be applied for all laboratory parameters, with the 
exception of serum creatinine adolescent laboratory data, which will be assessed using 
paediatric DMID toxicity criteria.

located directly before the Table of Contents (TOC). 
 
Amendment 01: 12-OCT-2022 
Overall Rationale for the Amendment 
This amendment included the detailed description about the purpose of unblinding for 
population PK and PKPD evaluation. The description for the unblinding process of 
microbiology sample data for closure of trial enrolment was removed. The criteria on the 
management of enrolled participants in the view of baseline creatinine clearance was 
added. The adverse event related to acetylcholinesterase inhibition were added, and the 
description in mitigation strategy for reproductive system effects were edited. The 
amendment also included the correction of description and/or minor editorial revision in 
Section 10.2 Clinical Laboratory Test, Section 4.3 Justification for Dose and Section 6.7 
Treatment of Overdose.

Amendment 02 
(07 Nov 2022) 
• 
Modified the 
analysis 
populations to 
exclude the 
participants 
affected by GCP 
violation.  
• 
Modified the 
analysis population 
(micro-ITT NTF-S 
(Global)) to align 
with the primary 
analysis population 
in the global 
studies (204989 
and 212390).  
• 
Added the analysis 
population 
including the 
participants 
affected by GCP 
violation for the 
supplementary 
analysis.  
• 
(Section 4.1.1.) 
Added the way of 
handling zero cell 
when computing 
the risk difference, 
and out-of-stability 
data for 
microbiological 
urine samples.  
• 
(Section 4.2.3.3.) 
Changed handling 
of missing data to 
that missing data 
will not be imputed 
in this study and 
missing data in the 
global studies will 
be imputed.  
• 
(Section 4.2.3.3.) 
Modified 
imputation model 
to align with the 
analyses in the 
global studies 
(204989 and 
212390).  
SAP was amended 
based on  
dry-run review 
comments 
impact on the analysis 
populations based on 
the GCP violation 
issues that occurred in 
one of the sites (Site 
ID: 
), caused 
by 
 
other minor edits or 
updates based on 
comparison with phase 
3 studies.

Exploratory 
 
Primary estimand 
The primary clinical question of interest is: Whether the therapeutic response at the TOC 
visit in female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis who have qualified 
uropathogen(s) at Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin in this study is 
consistent with that from the global studies, regardless of intervention discontinuation for 
any reason. Receipt of systemic antimicrobials will impact the endpoint definition (see 
Section 6.2.1.1 and Section 6.2.1.2).  
The estimand is described by the following attributes: 
• 
Population: Japanese and non-Japanese (from Studies 204989 and 212390) female 
participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis who have qualifying uropathogen(s) at 
Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin. 
• 
Treatment condition: Gepotidacin 1500 mg BID for 5 days in this study versus 
gepotidacin 1500 mg BID for 5 days in the global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) regardless of adherence.

• 
Variable: Therapeutic response (combined per-participant microbiological and 
clinical response) at the TOC Visit (the detailed definitions are provided in  
Section 6.2.1). Microbiological success is defined as eradication (i.e., reduction) of 
all qualifying bacterial uropathogens recovered at baseline to <103 colony-forming 
units/mL (CFU/mL) as observed on quantitative urine culture without the participant 
receiving other systemic antimicrobials. Clinical success is defined as resolution of 
signs and symptoms of acute cystitis present at Baseline (and no new signs and 
symptoms) without the participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials.  
• 
Summary measure: Comparison of the proportion of Japanese participants achieving 
therapeutic success in this study with 10th percentile of the predicted distribution for 
the proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success in this study derived 
from the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390)  
• 
Intercurrent events (ICEs):  
• 
Study treatment discontinuation (due to any reason) – treatment policy strategy 
(interest is in the treatment effect regardless of study treatment discontinuation) 
• 
Use of systemic antimicrobials – composite strategy. This ICE is captured 
through the definitions of microbiological and clinical response 
(see Section 6.2.1.1 and Section 6.2.1.2) 
Rationale for estimand:  
Interest in this study lies in whether the efficacy of gepotidacin treatment in this study is 
consistent with the global studies.  
The clinical question of interest in this study and the global studies (Studies 204989 and 
212390) lies in the treatment effect of gepotidacin regardless of whether the full course of 
5 days of treatment was taken or not, which reflects how patients may be treated in 
clinical practice. Hence, a treatment policy strategy is appropriate for treatment 
withdrawal before completing 5 days of treatment. Use of other systemic antimicrobials 
may confound the bacterial culture results; thus, the microbiological response will be 
considered failure. For clinical data, the use of a systemic antimicrobial for acute 
uncomplicated cystitis is a sign of treatment failure and use of a systemic antimicrobial 
for another infection cannot be considered a success as it confounds the assessment of 
efficacy. Therefore, the definition of a successful therapeutic response precludes the use 
of other systemic antimicrobials.  
Secondary estimands are provided in Section 4.3.

Study Design 
Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
Design Features 
• 
This is a Phase III randomized, multicentre, active reference, double-blind, double-
dummy study in adolescent and adult Japanese female participants to evaluate the 
efficacy and safety of gepotidacin. The primary objective is to assess consistency of this 
study with global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390) for therapeutic response of 
gepotidacin. 
• 
The study duration will be approximately 28 days with 4 visits. 
• 
Participants will be stratified by age category (≤50 years, or >50 years) and acute 
uncomplicated cystitis recurrence (recurrent or nonrecurrent) and will be randomly 
assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive either oral gepotidacin or oral nitrofurantoin (active 
reference). 
Study 
intervention 
• 
Gepotidacin: 1500 mg administered orally BID for 5 days 
• 
Nitrofurantoin: 100 mg administered orally BID for 5 days 
Study 
intervention 
Assignment 
Participants will be stratified by age category and acute uncomplicated cystitis recurrence 
(recurrent or nonrecurrent). Recurrence is defined as a confirmed infection [not including the 
current infection in the calculation] with at least 1 prior episode within the past 3 months, at 
least 2 prior episodes within the past 6 months, or at least 3 prior episodes within the past 12 
months before study entry). Participants will be randomly assigned in a 3:1 ratio to receive 
either oral gepotidacin or oral nitrofurantoin.  
Interim Analysis 
No formal interim analysis will be planned. Blinded review for therapeutic, clinical, and 
microbiological response at the TOC visit may be conducted during the study.  
2. 
STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES  
The primary objective is to assess the “consistency” of therapeutic success rate between 
the gepotidacin arm in this Eagle-J study with the pooled gepotidacin arm in the two 
global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). The observed proportion of participants in 
the gepotidacin arm at the TOC visit achieving therapeutic success in this study will be 
compared with the predictive distribution of the therapeutic success rate estimated from 
the two global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). “Consistency” is defined as:  
𝑝̂𝑎>
𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%)
𝑛𝑎𝑗
 


 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
Page 15 of 93 
, where:  
𝑝̂𝑎: Observed proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success on gepotidacin in 
this study 
𝑛𝑎𝑗: Number of participants in gepotidacin of this study 
𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%): The lower 10th percentile of the cumulative distribution of the prior predictive 
distribution derived from the global study data for the expected number of participants 
achieving therapeutic success out of 𝑛𝑎𝑗 participants.  
Therefore, 
𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%)
𝑛𝑎𝑗 is the threshold response rate that needs to be observed to meet 
therapeutic success, assuming the response rate is consistent with the global study 
response rate. The predictive distribution is defined as:  
𝑟𝑎𝑗∼∫𝐵𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑎𝑙(𝑟𝑎𝑗|𝑛𝑎𝑗, 𝑝𝑎) × 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑎(𝑝𝑎|𝛼= 𝑟𝑎𝑔, 𝛽= 𝑛𝑎𝑔−𝑟𝑎𝑔)𝑑𝑝𝑎 
, where:  
𝑟𝑎𝑗: The expected number of participants achieving therapeutic success in the gepotidacin 
arm of this study 
𝑟𝑎𝑔: The pooled number of participants achieving therapeutic success in the gepotidacin 
arm across both global studies.  
𝑛𝑎𝑔: The pooled number of participants in the gepotidacin arms across both global 
studies.  
The two global studies (204989 and 212390) have almost the same study design and the 
therapeutic response would be similar as well. Therefore, the data will be simply pooled 
to derive the predictive distribution.  
Example:  
Assuming 884 participants on the gepotidacin arm and a 76% observed therapeutic 
response rate in the global studies, there is an approximately 10% probability of 
observing <= 56 out of 81 responders in this study if the true gepotidacin response rate in 
this study is consistent with the response rate estimated from the global studies. 
Therefore, the success rule for gepotidacin is set to require a therapeutic response rate 
greater than 69.1% (56/81) in order to demonstrate consistency with global results in this 
example.  
The secondary objective is to assess the difference between the therapeutic response of 
gepotidacin with the nitrofurantoin therapeutic response at the TOC Visit in Japanese 
female participants with acute uncomplicated cystitis with qualifying bacterial 
uropathogen(s) at Baseline that all are susceptible to nitrofurantoin. The difference in the 
therapeutic response rate between gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin will be assessed 
descriptively.

STATISTICAL ANALYSES 
4.1. 
General Considerations 
4.1.1. 
General Methodology 
Participants who prematurely withdrew from study will not be replaced.  
In the case of wrong stratification assigned at the time of randomization, the analyses will 
be performed based on the actual stratum per data collected in the CRF. 
Confidence intervals will use 95% confidence levels unless otherwise specified.  
Unless otherwise specified, continuous data will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics: n, mean, standard deviation (std), median, minimum and maximum. 
Categorical data will be summarized as the number and percentage of participants in each 
category. 
It is anticipated that patient accrual will be spread thinly across centers and summaries of 
data by center would unlikely be informative and will not, therefore, be provided.  
For any efficacy analyses of binary outcomes for which a risk difference will be 
estimated, if 100% (or 0%) success rates are observed in both treatment arms then a 
constant of 1E-10 will be added to each zero cell in the resultant contingency table to 
overcome software limitations and enable determination of the risk difference and two-
sided 95% CI.

Out of stability (OOS) data may be delivered for microbiological urine samples. This data 
will not be included in any analysis, participants with OOS data will have their 
microbiological response missing and will be counted under the Unable to determine 
category.  
Susceptibility interpretations will be based on CLSI M100 with the exception of 
nitroxoline and cefadroxil which are based on EUCAST guidelines and faropenem which 
is based on [Fuchs, 1995]. 
4.1.2. 
Baseline Definition 
For all endpoints the baseline value will be the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-
missing value (or randomization date in participants who are randomized but did not 
receive study treatment), including those from unscheduled visits. If time is not collected, 
Day 1 Pre-dose assessments are assumed to be taken prior to first dose and used as 
baseline. 
For clinical signs and symptoms assessments and microbiological assessments, all Day 1 
symptom assessments and urine samples (collected for identification of uropathogens) are 
used as baseline regardless of if they were taken pre or post dose. Urine samples collected 
on Day -1 or Day 1 can be considered as baseline.  
Unless otherwise stated, if baseline data is missing no derivation will be performed and 
baseline will be set to missing. If baseline data is missing, then change from baseline 
calculations will not be performed and will be set to missing. 
4.1.3. 
Strata 
Participants will be randomized to a study treatment using stratification by age category 
(≤ 50 years, or >50 years) and acute cystitis recurrence (nonrecurrent infection or 
recurrent infection). In the case of a difference between the stratification assigned at the 
time of randomization and the data collected in the eCRF, the data collected in the eCRF 
will be considered actual and used unless specified.

4.2.2. 
Main analytical approach 
The primary analysis of the primary estimand will be performed using the micro-ITT 
NTF-S (Entire) population.  
The primary endpoint is therapeutic response (combined per-participant microbiological 
and clinical response) at the TOC Visit. Therapeutic success refers to participants who 
have been deemed both a microbiological success and a clinical success (i.e., responders).  
The primary treatment effect will be estimated regardless of treatment discontinuation, as 
per the treatment policy strategy. The ICE of use of other systemic antimicrobial therapy 
is captured through the definitions of microbiological and clinical response and will be 
counted as failures (composite strategy). If a participant experiences both ICEs of study 
treatment discontinuation and use of systemic antimicrobials, then a composite strategy 
(assigning therapeutic response as a failure) will be used from the point that the relevant 
systemic antimicrobial was taken.  
The number and proportion of participants achieving a therapeutic success will be 
presented along with its 95% Exact Clopper Pearson CI at the TOC visit and compared 
with the threshold for consistency with the global studies (Studies 204989 and 212390). 
The threshold will be derived with covariate adjustment, the covariates are the 
combinations of age-groups and uUTI recurrence of the participants (refer to Section 
4.1.3, k=1, 2, 3, 4). For this analysis, participants who do not return for the TOC Visit or 
have missing data due to any reason at the TOC Visit will be treated as failures.  
1. Derive the prior for therapeutic success rate in each stratum in EAGLE2/3 studies

responders who are assigned to the gepotidacin group of 𝑘𝑡ℎ stratum (k=1, 2, 3, 4) in 
the micro-ITT NTF-S (Global) population , respectively.

therapeutic success in each stratum k, (k=1, 2, 3, 4)

Sensitivity analyses 
4.2.3.1. 
Unadjusted threshold 
The predictive distribution unadjusted of stratification factor (combination of age-groups 
and uUTI recurrence) is:  
𝑟𝑎𝑗∼∫𝐵𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑎𝑙(𝑟𝑎𝑗|𝑛𝑎𝑗, 𝑝𝑎) × 𝐵𝑒𝑡𝑎(𝑝𝑎|𝛼= 𝑟𝑎𝑔, 𝛽= 𝑛𝑎𝑔−𝑟𝑎𝑔)𝑑𝑝𝑎 
, where:  
𝑟𝑎𝑗: The expected number of participants achieving therapeutic success in the gepotidacin 
arm of this study 
𝑟𝑎𝑔: The pooled number of participants achieving therapeutic success in the gepotidacin 
arm across both global studies.  
𝑛𝑎𝑔: The pooled number of participants in the gepotidacin arms across both global 
studies.  
The unadjusted threshold value is defined as 𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%) 𝑛𝑎𝑗
⁄
, where 𝑟𝑎𝑗
(10%) is the lower 10% 
tile of the above predictive distribution.  
4.2.3.2. 
Adjustment with randomization strata 
The adjusted threshold will be calculated based on the randomization stratum the 
participant was randomized to (instead of the actual stratum the participant should be 
assigned to) using the same approach as the primary analysis (Section 4.2.2) 
4.2.3.3. 
Missing data in the global studies 
Sensitivity analysis on the primary estimand will be done to assess the impact of missing 
data using the multiple imputation method in the global studies. If the entire TOC Visit, 
bacteriology samples or clinical signs and symptoms assessment were missing due to 
COVID-19 pandemic, then the missed values will be imputed under the missing at 
random (MAR) assumption. If the TOC bacteriology sample was taken but a result is not 
available for the sample for any reason then the missed values will also be imputed under 
the MAR assumption. All other missing data will be considered as a failure (i.e. non-
responder). A conservative approach will be taken in this study where all missing data 
(regardless of the reason for missingness) will be imputed as therapeutic failure.

Missing microbiological response values and clinical response values (if any) in the 
global studies will be imputed using separate logistic regression models under the MAR 
assumption in the micro-ITT NTF-S (Global) Population. The imputation models for the 
global studies will be estimated using the data from the global studies, respectively. The 
missing data in each of the global studies will be imputed using the above imputation 
model of each individual study. Note that the imputation models will be estimated using 
data on the gepotidacin arm only. The variables to be included in the imputation models 
are:  
Models for microbiological response in the global studies:  
• 
Age (<=50 years, or >50 years)  
• 
Acute cystitis recurrence (nonrecurrent infection or recurrent infection) at Baseline 
• 
Interaction term between treatment, Baseline qualifying uropathogen species/group 
and MIC (gepotidacin or nitrofurantoin) for randomized treatment. This is the same 
variable used for multiple imputation analysis in the global studies. See the details in 
the study material of the global studies (204989 and 212390).

Prior visit (On-therapy Visit) microbiological outcome  
Models for clinical response in the global studies:  
• 
Age (<=50 years, or >50 years)  
• 
Acute cystitis recurrence (nonrecurrent infection or recurrent infection) at Baseline 
• 
Baseline clinical signs and symptoms total score 
• 
Prior visit (On-therapy Visit) clinical outcome 
• 
Site (Sites with <10 participants in the micro-ITT NTF-S Population was combined 
prior to unblinding of the global studies) 
Any subjects that had a missing value for one or more variables listed above were 
excluded from the relevant imputation model(s).  
Proportion of Participants achieving therapeutic success in this study 
The same approach as the primary analysis will be used.  
Threshold using the data from both global studies.  
The threshold = for the lower 10th percentile of the predicted therapeutic success in this 
study will be calculated based on the pooled data from both global studies as follows. 
Note that the number of replication is set to 1,000,000. 
1. Set 𝑗= 1 
2. Impute missing values using separate logistic models that will be estimated using the 
data from both global studies.

4.3.1.2. 
Main analytical approach 
This analysis is based on micro-ITT NTF-S Population.  
The number and proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success will be 
summarized, along with the 95% Exact Clopper Pearson CI at the TOC Visit by 
treatment group. ICE of use of other systemic antimicrobials is captured through the 
defining criteria of microbiological and clinical response (Section 6.2.1.1 and Section 
6.2.1.2). Participants who do not return for the TOC Visit or have missing data at the 
TOC Visit will be treated as failures.  
The difference in proportions of participants achieving therapeutic success for 
gepotidacin compared to nitrofurantoin and the 95%CI of the difference will be 
summarized at TOC Visit. Miettinen-Nurminen (score) confidence limits of the treatment 
difference will be computed. The MN estimate of the common risk difference and 
variance is computed by combining the point estimates and variances from individual 
strata using MN weights. The estimate uses inverse variance stratum weights to produce 
MN confidence limits for the stratum risk differences. The mathematics and algorithm of 
MN method can be found in the SAS procedure guide under “Summary Score Estimate 
of the Common Risk Difference” [SAS, 2018]. 
4.3.1.3. 
Supplementary analyses 
Bayesian dynamic borrowing will be carried out to estimate the treatment difference in 
the Japanese population using data from each treatment group of the global studies 
(Studies 204989 and 212390).  
The prior distribution is a mixture distribution with 2 components, one reflecting the 
results from the global studies, and a vague component reflecting ‘weak information’ 
about the treatment difference [Schmidli, 2014]  
Denoting the difference (gepotidacin – nitrofurantoin) as Δ, the prior has the form:  
𝑓(Δ) = 𝑤× 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑓(Δ) + (1 −𝑤) × 𝑓𝑣𝑎𝑔(Δ)

proportion of participants achieving therapeutic success between gepotidacin and 
nitrofurantoin using the pooled data of both global studies. Similarly, 𝑛𝑎𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑐𝑔 are 
the pooled number of participants on the gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin arms in the

4.3.8.2. 
Main analytical approach 
The analysis is based on the PK population.  
All calculations of PK concentrations will be based on actual sampling times that fall 
within the set PK windows described below.  
Summary statistics (n, arithmetic mean, geometric mean, median, standard deviation, 
minimum, maximum, 95% CI of the arithmetic and geometric means and between 
participant coefficient of variation [%CV and %CVb]) for plasma and urine gepotidacin 
concentrations will be provided by the sampling windows in Table 1. If PK 
concentrations are not quantifiable, these values will be imputed as 0.  
PK samples collected outside of the treatment phase will only be listed.  
If more than one concentration data is available within the same PK window at a 
scheduled time point, the data closer to 12 hours post-latest dose will only be used for the 
summary statistics of Pre-Dose. For Post-Dose, data closer to 2 hours post-latest dose 
will only be used for the summary statistics. 
PK concentrations will be listed based on PK (Full) population (i.e. including the 
participants impacted by GCP violation).

An adverse event (AE) is considered treatment emergent if the AE onset date/time is on 
or after study intervention start date/time. If time is missing, only date will be compared. 
All AE and SAE summaries (including AESI) will be based on Treatment emergent 
adverse events unless otherwise specified.

A study intervention-related AE is defined as an AE for which the investigator classifies 
the possible relationship to study intervention as “Yes”. A worst-case scenario approach 
will be taken to handle missing relatedness data, i.e., the summary table will include 
events with the relationship to study intervention as ‘Yes’ or missing.  
A study intervention-related SAE is defined as an SAE for which the investigator 
classifies the relationship to study intervention as “Yes”. A worst-case scenario approach 
will be taken to handle missing data, i.e., the summary table will include events with the 
relationship to study intervention as ‘Yes’ or missing.

Adverse Events of Special Interest 
The following will be considered adverse events of special interest (AESI) for the 
purpose of analyses: Clostridium difficile, Cardiovascular, Gastrointestinal, and Potential 
Acetylcholinesterase-Inhibition AESIs. The definitions and derivations are provided for 
each AESI in Section 6.2.2.1.

Clostridium difficile AESIs 
This will be included in the overall summary of AEs.  
Cardiovascular and Gastrointestinal AESIs 
The number and percentage of participants with an event will be summarized by PT, 
SOC and maximum grade. In addition, the incidence of AEs of GI effects and time to the 
first occurrence will be summarized.  
Potential Acetylcholinesterase-Inhibition AESIs 
Any reported AE listed in the Section 6.2.2.1 with a start time no later than 12 hours after 
the latest dose administered, as evaluated by the investigator as per the DMID grading 
criteria provided in the protocol Section 10.12 Appendix 12: Division of Microbiology 
and Infectious Disease Adult Toxicity Tables for Adverse Event Assessment, will be 
included in the programmatic identification of a potential Acetylcholinesterase-Inhibition 
(AchE-I) AESI.  
Cumulative grade score of potential AchE-I events will be calculated as the sum of the 
grade of each reported AE. This enables the number of AEs and the severity of each AE 
to be taken into account. The grading scale is defined in Table 2.  
Table 2 
AchE-I Cumulative Grade Score Scale

For instance, if a participant reports two AEs, one of Grade 1 and the other of Grade 3, 
their cumulative grade score of 4 would result in cumulative grade 2. If a participant 
reports no AEs, their cumulative grade score of 0 would result in cumulative grade 0. 
This will be calculated for All AchE-I events, non-GI AchE-I events and GI aChE-T 
events, however only All AchE-I events and non-GI AchE-I events will be summarized.  
AchE-I AESIs and non-GI AchE-I events will be summarized by SOC, PT and maximum 
grade. Separate tables will summarize AchE-I AESI by number of events and unique PT. 
In addition, the following parameters of AchE-I events will also be summarized, and 
repeated for non-GI AchE-I and GI AchE-I events. 
Time of onset (hours):  
1. Definition  
Time of onset (hours) is defined as time from first dose to the start date of the first 
event in hours. The first event is defined as the treatment emergent AE of which start 
date is the earliest within each participant. If the start time of the first event is 
missing, 00:00 will be imputed to calculate the time of onset. Time of onset will be 
rounded to the nearest hour, which will be zero hour if time of onset is <30 minutes.  


 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
214144 
 
Page 48 of 93 
2. Analytical approach 
Time of onset will be summarised for each type of AChE-I by treatment group.  
Time since end of treatment (hours):  
1. Definition  
Time since end of treatment is defined as the time from the end date of the treatment 
to the non-missing end date of the last event, which will be derived as follows.  
1) For missing end date of the treatment emergent AEs, the earliest date of death and 
the last contact date will be imputed.  
2) The last event will be identified as the treatment emergent AEs of the latest end 
date including the imputed end date per each participant. If there are more than 
one AEs that have the same end date but some AEs have missing end time and the 
other has non-missing end time, the AE with non-missing end time will be chosen 
as the last event.  
3) For missing end time of the last event, 23:59 will be imputed.  
4) Time since end of treatment will be computed as (End date/time of the last event 
– treatment end date/time) 
2. Analytical approach 
For participants with the positive value of time since end of treatment which was 
calculated from non-missing end date, the time since end of treatment will be 
summarised for each category of AChE-I event (if any) by treatment group.  
In addition, the following numbers will be presented for each AChE-I categories by 
treatment group.  
1) The number of participants with the last AChE-I event end date imputed  
2) The number of participants who have no event of any type of AChE-I with an end 
date after the end of treatment  
Duration (days): 
1. Definition 
Duration in days will be computed as the difference from the start date of the first 
event to the end date of the last event (imputed end date of last event – start date of 
first event + 1). The first and last events defined are the same also for the time of 
onset and time since end of treatment, respectively.  
2. Analytical approach 
Duration will be summarised for each AChE-I categories by treatment group.  
AchE-I events with a start time less than or equal to 6 hours after the latest dose 
administered will also be flagged in the dataset.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Safety Results 
The summary of the incident rates of AE before and after the start of the COVID-19 will 
not be producedsince this study starts after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.  
4.6.2.4. 
Quantitative Screening for Identification of Potential Adverse Reaction 
Frequentist approach to screen for potential ARs will be used. Specifically, the Crowe 
method [Crowe, 2013] will be applied for initial screening of the large number of adverse 
events to generate a “short list” of potential ARs. Due to the smaller sample size than the 
global studies, this method is based on the HLT relative risk (incidence rate on 
gepotidacin arm divided by that on nitrofurantoin arm).  
Screening criteria endorsed are displayed in Table 3.

Note that any event which has not occurred on nitrofurantoin arm but occurred on 
gepotidacin arm will be included in the “short list”. In addition, the following AEs will 
automatically be included in the “short list” of potential ARs for further qualitative 
evaluation: 
• 
QT Prolongation: It is a very rare serious event that has been observed in early phase 
gepotidacin studies and therefore needs further evaluation. It is identified using HLT 
“ECG investigations”. 
• 
Serious and severe adverse events: The incidence of serious and severe AEs is 
expected to be very low and the qualitative assessment will be applied directly to 
these events without going through the quantitative screening process. 
• 
Fungal infections: It is a known AR for nitrofurantoin. It is identified using HLT 
“Fungal infections NEC”. 
• 
Hepatobiliary disorders: It is a known AR for nitrofurantoin. It is identified using 
HLT “Hepatic and hepatobiliary disorders”. 
• 
AESI specified in Section 6.2.2.1.

4.6.3.1. 
Laboratory Data 
Summaries of worst-case grade increase from baseline grade will be provided for all the 
lab tests that are gradable by DMID criteria (Section 6.2.4). These summaries will display 
the number and percentage of subjects with a maximum post-baseline grade increasing 
from their baseline grade. Any increase in grade from baseline will be summarized along 
with any increase to a maximum grade of 3 and any increase to a maximum grade of 4. 
Missing baseline grade will be assumed as grade 0. For laboratory tests that are graded 
for both low and high values, summaries will be done separately and labelled by 
direction, e.g., sodium will be summarized as hyponatremia and hypernatremia 
separately. The determination of worst case post-baseline takes into account both planned 
and unscheduled assessments.

For lab tests that are not gradable by DMID criteria (Section 6.2.4), summaries of worst-
case changes from baseline with respect to normal range will be generated. Decreases to 
low, changes to normal or no changes from baseline, and increases to high will be 
summarized for the worst-case post-baseline. If a subject has a decrease to low and an 
increase to high during the same time interval, then the subject is counted in both the 
“Decrease to Low” categories and the “Increase to High” categories.  
Separate summary tables for change from baseline in haematology, and chemistry 
laboratory tests will be produced. Liver function laboratory tests will be included with 
chemistry lab tests. 
A summary of Liver Monitoring/Stopping Event Reporting will be summarized. For 
participants with more than one liver stopping or liver monitoring event, only data related 
to the earliest most severe criteria event is included in the summary. 
Abnormal liver chemistry results will be summarized by increasing folds above the upper 
limit of normal (ULN) including tests of interest and thresholds as follows (including

Vital Signs 
The number of participants with worst case vital sign results relative to potential clinical 
importance (PCI) criteria which are post-baseline relative to baseline will be summarised 
by test and category. The summary will include baseline data and worst case post-
baseline, and planned visit. The baseline categories are: Low, within Range and High for 
PCI criteria. The change categories for PCI criteria are: To Low, To within Range or No 
Change, To High. The determination of worst case post-baseline takes into account both 
planned and unscheduled assessments. Changes in value from baseline for each vital sign 
will be summarized at every assessed time point. All vital sign data will be listed.

4.8. 
Interim Analyses 
No formal interim analysis is planned. Blinded review for therapeutic, clinical and 
microbiological response will be conducted.  
4.8.1. 
Blinded review 
This blinded review aims to assess if the blinded results for the response rates are far 
from the expected. Once approximately 30 participants in micro-ITT NTF-S Population 
have completed the TOC visit, the blinded review will be done using the data from those 
participants. If the following criterion has been met, we will consider the response rate 
may be more variable than planned and the mitigation will be conducted (e.g. training for 
sites).  
Pr(𝑝< 0.6) > 0.5 
This is based on the Bayesian probability and p is pooled therapeutic success rate among 
gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin arms. The prior for p is Beta(0.5, 0.5) and this prior will 
be updated with the number of participants achieving therapeutic success and the number 
of participants in the blinded review (i.e. approximately 30 participants).  
The maximum number of participants achieving therapeutic success to trigger 
considering the mitigation is provided in the Table 4. For example, if we observe <= 18

Changes to Protocol Defined Analyses 
There were changes below to the originally planned statistical analysis specified in the 
protocol amendment 2 (Dated: [07-NOV-2022]). 
• 
Added the analysis populations due to GCP violation 
• 
Amended the micro-ITT NTF-S (Global) population to align with the primary 
analysis population (i.e., IA set) in the global studies (204989 and 212390).  
• 
Originally, missing data in this study was to be imputed for tipping point analysis 
and multiple imputation sensitivity analysis for missing data. However, a 
conservative approach will be taken in this study where all missing data (regardless 
of the reason for missingness) will be imputed as therapeutic failure. Note that the 
missing data in the global studies (204989 and 212390) will be imputed for tipping 
point analysis and multiple imputation sensitivity analysis.

SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION 
This study is not designed to demonstrate non-inferiority of the gepotidacin to 
nitrofurantoin but designed to demonstrate consistency of this study with the global 
studies for therapeutic response of the gepotidacin.  
5.1. 
Gepotidacin Sample Size 
Approximately 81 participants in the gepotidacin treatment group is considered an 
appropriate sample size to evaluate consistency between this study and both global 
studies (Studies 204989 and 212390).  
Assuming 81 participants in the micro-ITT NTF-S population on gepotidacin and an 
observed 76% therapeutic success rate out of 884 participants in the global studies, the

Page 55 of 93 
therapeutic response in the gepotidacin arm in this study would need to be greater than 
69.1% to declare “consistency” with the global studies.  
5.1.1. 
Sample Size Sensitivity 
Table 5 demonstrates a range of observed therapeutic response rates and the number of 
participants on the gepotidacin arm in this study against the corresponding consistency 
thresholds required in this study assuming 884 participants on the gepotidacin arm in 
both global studies.

Nitrofurantoin Sample Size 
The sample size on the nitrofurantoin arm is based on the precision estimate of 95%CI 
for the treatment difference.  
The treatment difference between gepotidacin and nitrofurantoin will be assessed 
descriptively. Table 6 demonstrates a range of observed differences and corresponding 
95% CIs assuming a 3:1 randomization (i.e. 81 participants on gepotidacin and 27 on 
nitrofurantoin in micro-ITT NTF-S population).

Proposed Sample Size 
Assuming a 36% evaluability rate, approximately 300 participants will be enrolled and 
randomized to either gepotidacin or nitrofurantoin in a 3:1 ratio to achieve 108 
participants in the micro-ITT NTF-S population (i.e. approximately 81 participants on 
gepotidacin and 27 on nitrofurantoin). Enrolment will continue until the approximate 
target number of participants in the micro-ITT NTF-S Population has been reached. This 
study will be conducted at multiple sites in Japan. 
Note: Enrolled means a participant's, or their legally acceptable representative’s, 
agreement to participate in a clinical study following completion of the informed consent 
process. Potential participants who are screened for the purpose of determining eligibility 
for the study, but do not participate in the study, are not considered enrolled, unless 
otherwise specified by the protocol. A participant will be considered enrolled if the 
informed consent is not withdrawn prior to participating in any study activity after 
screening.

Clinical Outcome and Response 
Clinical signs and symptoms of acute cystitis will be recorded based on participant 
interview per the SoA (Protocol Section 1.3) using the scoring system and instructions 
(Table 14). The total cumulative symptom score is derived by summing the score for 
each individual sign and symptom. If any individual sign and symptom scores are 
missing, then total symptom score will also be missing.  
At TOC, success is defined as normal presentation of signs and symptoms with a total 
cumulative symptom score of zero. Clinical outcome and response will be derived at On-
therapy (Table 15), TOC (Table 16) and Follow-up (Table 17) Visits. Note that 
“resolution”, “improvement” and “worsening or no change” in total symptom score as 
used in the tables below are defined as:  
• 
“Resolution”: Total cumulative symptom score is zero.  
• 
“Improvement”: Change from baseline in total cumulative symptom score is less 
than zero.  
• 
“Worsening or no change”: Change from baseline in total cumulative symptom score 
is greater than or equal to zero.  
Note that only start date of antibiotics use will be considered when deriving the outcome 
and response.

Outcomea 
Response 
Resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis 
present at Baseline (and no new signs or 
symptoms), without the participant receiving other 
systemic antimicrobials not for the current infection 
before the TOC Visit and also without receiving an 
other systemic antimicrobials for the current 
infection prior to or at the TOC Visit 
Clinical resolution 
Clinical success 
Improvement in total symptom scores from 
Baseline, but not complete resolution, without the 
participant receiving other systemic antimicrobials 
not for the current infection before the TOC Visit 
and also without receiving an other systemic 
antimicrobials for the current infection prior to or at 
the TOC Visit 
Clinical improvement  
Clinical failure 
Worsening or no change in total symptom scores 
from Baseline or the participant received other 
systemic antimicrobials for the current infection 
before or on the date of the TOC Visit (if the date 
of TOC Visit is missing, the end date of the 
analysis window will be used as the date of TOC 
visit) 
Clinical worsening 
Clinical failure 
• 
The Baseline score is missing (unless TOC 
score is 0 and no antibiotics use (either not 
for current infection or for current infection) 
then outcome will be clinical resolution OR 
unless Clinical worsening outcome criteria 
were met then outcome will be Clinical 
worsening), or 
• 
The TOC assessment is missing (unless 
clinical worsening outcome criteria were met 
then outcome is worsening), or 
• 
The participant received other systemic 
antimicrobials not for the current infection 
prior to the assessment (unless clinical 
worsening criteria were met) 
Unable to determine 
Clinical failure 
TOC = Test-of-Cure 
a. 
A study physician or otherwise appropriately medically trained staff will determine the individual clinical signs 
and symptoms scores for acute cystitis (Table 14), which will then be used to programmatically determine the 
clinical outcome. The same scorer will be used at all assessment time points for each participant, on all 
occasions, whenever possible. 
The text with underline is additional clarification to derive the clinical outcome and 
response in addition to the protocol table.

Clinical Outcome and Response at the Follow-up Visit 
Defining Criteria 
Outcomea 
Response 
Resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis 
demonstrated at the TOC Visit persist at the 
Follow-up Visit (and no new signs and symptoms), 
without the participant receiving other systemic 
antimicrobials not for the current infection before 
the Follow-up Visit and also without receiving an 
other systemic antimicrobials for the current 
infection prior to or at the Follow Up Visit 
Sustained clinical resolution 
Clinical success 
Resolution of signs and symptoms of acute cystitis 
present at Baseline (and no new signs or 
symptoms), after clinical failure at TOC, without 
the participant receiving other systemic 
antimicrobials not for the current infection before 
the Follow-up Visit and also without receiving an 
other systemic antimicrobials for the current 
infection prior to or at the Follow-Up Visit 
Delayed clinical resolution 
Clinical failure 
Improvement in total symptom scores from 
Baseline, but not complete resolution after clinical 
failure at the TOC visit, without the participant 
receiving other systemic antimicrobials not for the 
current infection before the Follow-up Visit and 
also without receiving an other systemic 
antimicrobials for the current infection prior to or at 
the Follow-Up Visit 
Clinical improvement 
Clinical failure 
Worsening or no change in total symptom scores 
at Follow-up compared to Baseline after clinical 
failure at TOC, or the participant received other 
systemic antimicrobials for the current infection 
before or on the date of the Follow-up Visit (if the 
date of Follow-Up Visit is missing, the end date of 
the analysis window will be used as the date of 
Follow-Up visit) 
Clinical worsening 
Clinical failure 
Signs and symptoms of acute cystitis reoccur at 
the Follow-up Visit (can be improved (but not 
resolution) OR worsening or no change from 
baseline i.e., (1) change from baseline at Follow-
Up visit < 0 AND score is not 0 at Follow-Up Visit 
(2) change from baseline at the Follow-Up visit >= 
0) after clinical success at TOC without the 
participant receiving an other systemic 
antimicrobials for the current infection prior to or at 
the Follow-Up visit 
Clinical recurrence 
Clinical failure 
1) The Baseline score is missing (unless Follow-
Up score is 0 and no antibiotics use (either 
not for current infection or for current 
infection) then outcome will be clinical 
resolution (delayed or sustained as 
appropriate) OR unless Clinical worsening 
outcome criteria were met then outcome will 
be clinical worsening), or 
2) The Follow-up assessment is missing (unless 
clinical worsening outcome criteria were met 
then outcome is clinical worsening), or

6.2.1.3. 
Fold change on susceptibility 
Fold change will be used to describe how much the MIC for gepotidacin and 
nitrofurantoin changes between baseline and subsequent visits for the same bacterial 
species from the same participant based on the broth microdilution results. Fold change 
will be calculated (in doubling dilutions) as the ratio of the MIC at the subsequent visit to 
the MIC at Baseline Visit. However, ratio of 1 will be reported as 0-fold ratio. Ratio less 
than 1 will be reported in reciprocal with negative sign (e.g. ratio of 0.5 will be reported 
as -2 fold). Examples:  
Baseline MIC (mcg/mL)

MIC50 and MIC90 
MIC50 and MIC90 are defined as the 50th and 90th percentile of the MIC values. They 
will only be reported if the number of uropathogens is larger or equal to 10. MICxx is 
defined as follows.  
𝑀𝐼𝐶𝑥𝑥= min
𝑗{𝑥𝑗; 𝐹̂(𝑥𝑗) ≥𝑥𝑥%} 
, 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑥𝑗 𝑖𝑠 𝑀𝐼𝐶 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹̂(∙) 𝑖𝑠 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑐𝑢𝑚𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.  
For an even number of samples, the MIC50 is the next one above the median. Similar 
algorithm applied to MIC90.

Adolescent Participants:  
For adolescent participants over 12 years of age and less than 18 years of age, the adult DMID will be applied for all parameters with the 
exception of serum creatinine which will be graded programmatically according to the modified DMID pediatric toxicity criteria , which 
is aligned with the global studies (204989 and 212390) . Laboratory results are converted to SI units.

Study Period 
Assessments and events will be classified according to the time of occurrence relative to 
the study intervention period.  
Pre-Intervention is defined as time prior to the first dose of study intervention. 
On-Intervention is defined as time from first dose to last date. If time of assessment or 
study intervention is not collected, the following assessment on the first dose date will be 
assumed to be taken prior to the first dose and therefore considered pre-intervention: 
ECG, Lab, and vital signs, and first dose date is considered on-intervention for AE and 
concomitant medication. 
Post-Intervention is defined as any time post on-intervention window, i.e. > last dose 
date. 
6.2.5.1. 
Study Phases for Concomitant medication 
Study Phase 
Definition 
Prior 
If medication started prior to the first dose date (or randomized date if first dose date is 
missing) 
Concomitant 
If medication ended after the first dose date or is ongoing regardless of the start date (or 
randomized date if first dose date is missing)  
Study phases for concomitant medication will be derived after handling of missing and 
partial dates for medication (see Section 6.2.9). If a single medication taken on the same 
date as the first dose date, time will be used to determine if it’s prior or concomitant. If 
time is missing, it will be considered concomitant.  
6.2.5.2. 
Treatment Emergent Flag for Adverse Events 
Adverse events are defined as treatment emergent AEs if AE onset date/time is on or 
after treatment start date/time. That is, study treatment start date/time <= AE start 
date/time. If time is missing, only date will be compared.  
6.2.5.3. 
Participant and Study Completion 
A participant is considered to have completed study treatment if she has taken all doses 
of the randomly assigned study treatment and also completed the ToC visit. A participant 
is considered to have completed the study if she has completed all study visits including 
the Follow-up Visit.

6.2.6. 
Study Day and Reference Dates 
The safety reference date is the study intervention start date (or randomization date if not 
dosed) and will be used to calculate study day for safety measures.  
The efficacy reference date is the study intervention start date (or randomization date if 
not dosed) and will be used to calculate study day for efficacy measures and baseline 
characteristics, as well as efficacy durations.  
The study day is calculated as below: 
• 
Assessment Date = Missing              → Study Day = Missing  
• 
Assessment Date < Reference Date → Study Day = Assessment Date – Ref Date 
• 
Assessment Date ≥ Reference Date → Study Day = Assessment Date – Ref Date + 1     
6.2.7. 
Assessment Window  
Unscheduled and withdrawal visit data will be slotted into a target visit based on visit 
window defined in the table below. If there are multiple assessments within the same 
window, the closest one to the target day will be taken in the slotting. If multiple records 
are equally close to the target day, then the later record will be utilized. For post-baseline 
records collected outside the analysis visit window, a blank analysis visit label will be 
assigned.

Follow-up 
The procedure of the analysis visit assignment is as follows.  
1. Calculate the analysis days for planned visit, unscheduled visit, and early withdrawal 
visit with non-missing outcome if applicable. The calculation of the analysis days is 
provided in Section 6.2.6.  
2. Slot the visits to each of analysis timepoint according to the above table.  
a. 
If there are multiple assessments within the same windows, the closest one to the 
target day will be taken in the slotting.  
b. If multiple records are equally close to the target day, then the later record will 
be utilized using the sequence number in SDTM dataset.  
c. 
For post-baseline records collected outside the analysis visit window, a blank 
analysis visit label will be assigned. Such assessments will not be included in 
any of the by visit summaries. Descriptive summaries that are shown for “any 
assessment post baseline” e.g. maximum/minimum/ worst case post baseline, 
will use all assessments irrespective of whether they fall in an analysis visit 
window.

Handling of Partial Dates 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• 
Partial dates will be displayed as captured in participant listing displays.  
• 
However, where necessary, display macros may impute dates as temporary 
variables for sorting data in listings only. In addition, partial dates may be imputed 
for ‘slotting’ data to study phases or for specific analysis purposes as outlined below. 
• 
Imputed partial dates will not be used to derive study day, time to onset or duration 
(e.g., time to onset or duration of adverse events), or elapsed time variables (e.g., 
time since diagnosis). In addition, imputed dates are not used for deriving the last 
contact date in overall survival analysis dataset. 
Adverse Events 
• 
Partial dates for AE recorded in the CRF will be imputed using the following 
conventions: 
Missing start time 
(AChE-I only) 
Midnight 0:00:00 will be used for AEs with missing start time to 
determine if it’s AChE-I.  
Concomitant 
Medications/Medical 
History 
• 
Partial dates for any concomitant medications recorded in the CRF will be imputed 
using the following convention: 
Missing start day 
If study intervention start date is missing (i.e. participant did not 
start study intervention), then set start date = 1st of month. 
Else if study intervention start date is not missing: 
• 
If month and year of start date = month and year of study 
intervention start date, then 
• 
If stop date contains a full date and stop date is 
earlier than study intervention start date, then set 
start date= 1st of month. 
• 
Else set start date = study intervention start date. 
Else set start date = 1st of month. 
Missing start day 
and month 
If study intervention start date is missing (i.e. participant did not 
start study intervention), then set start date = January 1. 
Else if study intervention start date is not missing: 
• 
If year of start date = year of study intervention start date, 
then 
• 
If stop date contains a full date and stop date is 
earlier than study intervention start date, then set 
start date = January 1. 
• 
Else set start date = study. intervention start 
date.       
Else set start date = January 1. 
Missing end day 
A '28/29/30/31' will be used for the day (dependent on the 
month and year).  
Missing end day 
and month 
A '31' will be used for the day and 'Dec' will be used for the 
month.

Age 
Age is derived using the date of first dose. When first dose date is missing, the informed 
consent date is used. Only year of birth is collected so Day and Month of birth are imputed 
as 30 June. Formula for deriving age is the integer component of:  
• 
(First Dose Date – 30 Jun of collected birth year + 1) / 365.25

*Cefoxitin is tested as a surrogate test for oxacillin to determine methicillin 
susceptibility/resistance. Methicillin-(oxacillin) resistant staphylococci are resistant to all 
currently available beta-lactams, cephalosporin and carbapenem antimicrobial agents, 
with the exception of ceftaroline. 
Multidrug Resistance (MDR):  
Definition 1: A uropathogen will be regarded as multidrug-resistant if the uropathogen is 
resistant to >= 1 drugs in each class among >= 2 antimicrobial classes (β-lactam, 
Fluoroquinolone, Fosfomycin and Aminoglycoside). This definition will be used for 
micro-ITT MDR Population.  
Definition 2: A uropathogen will be regarded as multidrug-resistant (3 or more) if the 
uropathogen is resistance to >= 1 drugs in each class among >= 3 antimicrobial classes 
(-lactam, Fluoroquinolone, Fosfomycin and Aminoglycoside). This phenotype will be 
included in the subgroup analyses.
