Study Design 
This is a open-label, non randomised, multi-centres, adaptive two-stage phase II study. 
During stage 1, up to 12 subjects will be enrolled to receive BIM23B065 twice a day 
(BID) for two weeks. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with GH 
≤2.5 μg/l or >50% reduction from baseline GH on Day 14. The mean serum 
concentration of GH collected over 6 hours will be used for the baseline (Day -1) and 
endpoint (Day 14) GH determination.  
Several sequential analyses will occur during Stage 1. The Stage 1 arm (BID 
administration) may be terminated early for futility during each of these interim 
analyses if the responder rate does not exceed some pre-determined minimum efficacy 
criteria. In that case, a stage 2 arm will be initiated during which up to 12 subjects will 
be recruited to receive BIM23B065 three times a day (TID) for 14 days. The same 
sequential analysis and early termination rule for futility will apply during stage 2 as 
for stage 1. 
If the primary endpoint is met after the stage 1 BID cohort, the TID cohort 2 will not 
be started. 
Any subject who withdraws prior to the Day 14 end of treatment visit may be replaced 
except for early withdrawal due to safety and tolerability reasons. As soon as 12 
subjects (out of which at least 8 are Octreotide responders) reach Visit 8, withdrawn 
subjects will not be replaced..  
Both the BID and TID regimen parts will consist of 3 periods:  
 
A screening period of 21 days maximum during which the eligibility criteria 
will be assessed. An Octreotide test will be also performed at the latest 7 days 
prior to first Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) administration. 
 
A treatment period that will consist of twice or three times daily 
administrations of BIM23B065. This period will last 14 days. The first 6 days 
will be a titration of BIM23B065 (0.4 mg/0.6 mg/0.8 mg BID or TID). Then a 
stable target dose (1.0 mg) of BIM23B065 will be BID or TID administered 
from Day 7 to Day 14.  
 
If a subject experiences any safety or laboratory events that meet the criteria 
in Table 1, they may have their dose reduced to the prior dose. The 
minimum dose allowed for the treatment period is 0.6mg BID or TID. 
o If the criteria for dose reduction are met when a subject is taking 
1.0mg BID or TID, they may be dose reduced to 0.8mg BID or TID. 
o 
If the criteria for dose reduction are met when a subject is taking 
0.8mg BID or TID, they may be dose reduced to 0.6mg BID or TID. 
o 
A subject may be dose reduced more than once and at anytime 
during the study. For example, from 1.0mg BID or TID to 0.8mg 
BID or TID and if safety/tolerability issues persist, they may be 
further dose reduced to 0.6mg BID or TID.

 
If the subject experiences any cardiovascular events that meet the criteria in 
Table 2 during the titration period, they must remain on their current dose and 
not be dose escalated. 
 
A follow up period that will last for 14 days during which the subjects will not 
be administered BIM23B065. 
Number of Subjects 
This study will enrol approximately 15 subjects so that 12 subjects will be evaluable 
per stage. A drop-out rate of 20% is expected requiring approximately 15 subjects to be 
treated per stage. 
Treatment: route, strength, 
regimen  
BIM23B065 will be administered twice a day (morning and evening) or three times a 
day (every 8 hours ± 1 hour). The doses administered will be : 0.4mg; 0.6mg, 0.8mg 
and 1.0 mg by subcutaneous (sc) injection.  
Reference/Control Treatment: 
route, strength, regimen 
NA 
Drug administration 
BIM23B065 will be administered by subcutaneous injection in the abdomen. There 
should be a rotation of the injection sites between left and right sides. 
Main Inclusion/Exclusion 
Criteria 
Male and female subjects between 18 and 75 years old with a confirmed diagnosis of 
acromegaly, with or without a history of pituitary surgery, will be included into this 
study. Subjects can be either treatment naïve or have received prior treatment for their 
acromegaly.

Physical examination 
 
Vital signs (supine and standing blood pressure and HR) 
 
12-lead ECG and ECG monitoring by 3-lead holter device at specific 
timepoints, corrected QT interval (QTc)  will be calculated using Fridericia 
methodology 
 
Clinical 
laboratory 
assessments: 
haematology, 
coagulation, 
clinical 
biochemistry including glucose, glucagon and insulin measurements, 
urinalysis 
 
Putative antibodies to BIM23B065 
 
Endocrine parameters: Adrenocorticotrophic Hormone (ACTH), Cortisol, 
Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Free 
Thyroxine (FT4), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Testosterone (for 
males only). 
 
Gallbladder echography 
Pharmacokinetic 
Methodology 
Plasma samples will be analysed to determine concentrations of BIM23B065 and 
BIM23B133 using a validated, specific and sensitive LC MS/MS method.  
Statistical Methodology: 
 
The maximum sample size will be 24 evaluable subjects (12 per stage). Enrolled 
subjects who drop out of the study prior to Day 14 GH evaluation may be replaced. If 
12 evaluable subjects have already completed visit 8 (day 14) any subsequent 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 7 of 78 
 
withdrawn subjects will not be replaced. 
A minimum of 8 of the 12 evaluable subjects must be responsive to a single test dose 
of octreotide pre-study defined as a >50% reduction in GH. 
Per the primary endpoint, a subject is defined as a responder if the median 
concentration of GH over 6 hours is ≤2.5µg/l or if there is at least 50% reduction from 
mean baseline in GH at Day 14 (after 6 days titration plus 8 days treatment).  
Based on the exact test for single proportion, twelve evaluable subjects per stage would 
be sufficient to have over 84% power, at a significance level of 0.05 (one sided) to 
reject the null hypothesis that there is no indication of efficacy of BIM23B065 if the 
GH responder rate is at most 33%, assuming that the GH responder rate is equal to 
75%.

STUDY DRUG BACKGROUND INFORMATION 
1.1 
Investigational Medicinal Product Name 
BIM23B065 consists of one molecule of dopamine bound to one molecule of a peptidic 
somatostatin (SST) analogue. It is a chimera of a Dopamine receptor sub-type 2 (D2) and an 
Somatostatin Receptor 2 (SSTR2) agonist. Its theoretical molecular formula is C77H101N17O10S 
corresponding to a molecular weight of 1456.8 g/mol (as free base), and the structural 
sequence 
is: 
(D-6-methyl-8β-Ergolinylmethyl)-thioethyl-cyclic [DLysyl-Arginyl-
Phenylalanyl-4-Aminophenylalanyl-DTryptophyl-Lysyl-Threonyl-Tyrosyl]. 
The single molecule is hypothesised to bridge the two receptors, bringing them physically 
together. An interaction and heterodimerisation between the two receptors has been proposed, 
resulting in stronger downstream post-receptor signalling than is observed with agonist of 
each receptor alone or in combination, suggesting a potential synergistic benefit from the 
combined targeting of these receptors. 
The original rationale for the development of BIM23B065 came from clinical literature 
indicating greater suppression of Growth Hormone (GH) in patients with acromegaly with a 
combination of SST and Dopamine agonist (DA) analogues than with either alone.  Ipsen 
began the development program with the idea of building this combined activity into a single 
molecule.  The Ipsen team subsequently found that in vitro combined SST and DA analogues 
provided no greater suppression than SST analogues alone; however, the prototype chimeric 
molecule showed increased efficacy and 100-1000 fold increased potency (1)(2).  Ipsen 
optimised the ratio of the SST and DA activities to achieve a first-generation compound with 
consistently improved efficacy/potency in suppressing GH in acromegalic tumours, as 
compared with the current clinical SST analogues (3).

Findings from Nonclinical and Clinical Studies 
1.2.1 
Non Clinical Studies 
Non-clinical safety findings are summarised in the BIM23B065 Investigator’s Brochure (IB) 
(4). 
1.2.2 
Clinical Studies 
A phase I study of BIM23B065 has been conducted in 71 healthy male subjects. 
No Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) were reported following single ascending dose (SAD) or 
multiple ascending dose (MAD) administrations of BIM23B065 for 14 days in this 
population. The most frequent treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were injection site 
reactions, and after multiple administrations hypotension. Cases of liver transaminases 
increases were also reported. All TEAEs after multiple administrations were of mild severity.

Typical injection site reactions were described as localised erythema at the injection site (of 4 
cm to 5 cm diameter for the higher doses), of mild, not associated with pain, that spread 
outwards as it resolves. Reactions typically resolve within 2 hours post dose and can be 
managed without treatment. Hypotension, postural hypotension and HR decrease also 
occurred at 1.0 mg twice a day (BID) in this population of healthy young male subjects. To 
mitigate this risk a 6-day dose titration period prior to the starting of the maintenance dose 
was included in the MAD part of the study. Of note, decrease in HR never reached dose 
limiting toxicity (DLT) level. Subjects should be warned of the potential for the development 
of postural hypotension. Measures are outlined in this protocol which are designed to 
minimise the risk of hypotensive episodes. 
 
In the MAD part of the study, elevations of hepatic transaminases were seen in subjects who 
received BIM23B065. Increases were in the range >ULN to ≤3.0×ULN. They resolved 
spontaneously and were not accompanied by elevations of bilirubin. 
 
In addition, after multiple dosing of BIM23B065 there were no abnormalities in fasting blood 
glucose levels. 
Upper gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain, upper abdominal pain, nausea, 
cramps or discomfort was observed in this first-in-man study. Nausea and abdominal 
discomfort were more common after the evening dose of BIM23B065 when the drug was 
administered in the fed state. These gastrointestinal TEAEs were all mild severity.  
 
Isolated cases of raised amylase and lipase (1 volunteer) and neutropenia (1 volunteer) which 
were regarded as DLTs were seen during repeated dosing with BIM23B065. All events 
resolved before the end of the study. 
Additional information regarding safety profile of BIM23B065 may be found in the IB (4). 
 
With regards to Pharmacodynamics (PD) findings, in the MAD part of the Phase I study, GH 
cycles were assessed up to 11 hours postdose. Spontaneous peak in GH levels were observed 
in subjects who received placebo, which were notably reduced in subjects receiving 
BIM23B065. 
In both single and multiple ascending dose parts of the study, dosing with BIM23B065 led to 
reductions in mean plasma prolactin (PRL) concentrations, with greater and longer lasting 
reductions in PRL concentration observed with higher individual doses. 
Finally, suppression of GH concentrations was demonstrated during the growth hormone 
releasing hormone (GHRH) stimulation test in the multiple ascending dose part of the study. 
Mean exposure to GH after GHRH stimulation was considerably lower in subjects receiving 
BIM23B065 compared to those receiving placebo. 
1.3 
Known and Potential Risks 
To date, BIM23B065 has been studied in one phase I study in healthy male subjects. Single 
doses of up to 1.5 mg and multiple doses of 1.2 mg once a day (QD) and up to 1.0 mg BID 
have been administered to healthy male subjects in a single and multiple dose escalation and 
multiple dose titration study. 
Hypotension 
Hypotension and postural hypotension occurred very commonly in healthy male subjects 
(starting half an hour after investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration with acute 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 20 of 78 
 
effect at 2 hours after IMP administration), particularly with multiple dosing of BIM23B065. 
Subjects should be warned of the potential for the development of postural. Measures are 
outlined in this protocol which are designed to minimise the risk of hypotensive episodes. 
Heart rate decrease 
During the phase 1 study, hypotension, postural hypotension and heart rate (HR) decrease 
commonly occurred in this population of healthy young male subjects, particularly following 
multiple dosing of BIM23B065 at 1.0 mg BID. Subjects should be warned of the potential for 
the development of postural hypotension. Blood pressure and HR will be closely monitored 
during the present study. 
Increase ALT and AST 
Increases in mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentration were observed during 
treatment in all dosing groups with greater increases noted with higher daily BIM23B065 
doses. All increases in ALT and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were of mild intensity and 
resolved before the end of the study and were not accompanied by elevations in bilirubin. 
Investigators should comply with laboratory safety testing requirements and guidance on the 
management of abnormalities of liver function tests as detailed in this current study protocol. 
1.4 
Selection of Investigational Medicinal Product Doses and Dose Regimen 
The stage 1 starting dose has been selected to allow a titration period and will consist of a 
BID administration of 0.4mg at Days 1 and 2, 0.6 mg at Days 3 and 4, then 0.8 mg at Days 5 
and 6 with 1.0 mg from day 7. 
This titration schedule has been validated during the phase I study in healthy male subjects 
(with the aim of reducing the occurrence of known side-effects of dopamine agonists; 
primarily hypotension). 
Then from Day 7 to Day 14 a stable target dose of 1.0 mg will be administered BID.  
This 1.0 mg BID dose was estimated to be the maximal tolerated dose during the multiple 
ascending dose part of the Phase I study. In addition this dose level was associated with robust 
PD effects in GH and PRL. 
If during the study, a subject is unable to tolerate 1.0mg BID and meets the criteria for dose 
reduction in Table 1 (please see page 23), dose may be reduced to 0.8mg BID. If the safety or 
tolerability issue persists, the dose may be further reduced to 0.6mg BID. This decision will 
be taken in agreement with the Investigator. The dose of 0.6mg is the lowest dose permitted 
for the treatment phase and any subject unable to tolerate this dose level of 0.6mg will be 
withdrawn from the study. 
If a subject experiences changes in blood pressure or bradycardia as described in Table 2 
(please see page 23) during the titration phase, they will not have their dose increased further 
and they will remain on their current dose. 
Following an algorithm described in Figure 3 (please see page 32), a stage 2 with three times 
a day (TID) administration of the IMP with new subjects will be conducted with the same 
above described design. 
1.5 
Study Population 
Both gender subjects aged between 18 and 75 years with a confirmed diagnosis of 
acromegaly, with or without a history of pituitary surgery, will be included into this study. 
Subjects can be either treatment naïve or have received prior treatment(s) for their 
acromegaly. (See Sections 4.4 and 4.5).

1.6 
Potential Benefits to Participants 
The study participants will not have a therapeutic benefit. The study is part of a global 
development plan for BIM23B065 and the compound is at early stage of development. This 
study is designed to increase the understanding of the PD effects and safety after a short 
duration of treatment. Future studies may demonstrate a potential benefit to patients with 
acromegaly. 
1.7 
Rationale for the Study 
The development program of BIM23B065 is designed to provide evidence that the chimeric 
dual agonist peptide BIM23B065, as a single entity, is effective in treating GH-secreting 
pituitary adenomas that involve SSTR2 and D2. The purpose of this second clinical study with 
BIM23B065 is to evaluate the effect of repeated administration of BIM23B065 on the 
secretion of GH in patients with acromegaly. Results obtained in the First in man (FIM) trial 
performed in healthy subjects confirmed the pharmacological activity properties of 
BIM23B065 in reducing efficiently spontaneous GH secretion as well as GHRH induced 
secretion. The proposed study aims to confirm this pharmacological activity but in patients 
with acromegaly, as well as evaluate further the safety profile of BIM23B065 after multiple 
administrations over 14 days. The half-life (t1/2) of BIM23B065 with the current formulation 
is relatively short and therefore suggest the need of more than one injection per day. The first 
study in healthy subject assessed a twice-a-day dose regimen and provided robust data on GH 
reduction as well as optimise the safety and tolerability profile in respect to a single dose as 
well as by a dose increase titration approach. However in respect to the optimal scheme of 
administration, three injections per day could provide, potentially, an even better sustained 
reduction in GH over dosing interval. The proposed study will start with a BID dose regimen 
(stage 1) and if the results obtained after this first part are not satisfactory in terms of GH 
reduction, and provided that there are no safety and tolerability issues, the second stage will 
test a TID dose regimen. Thus at the end of this study, data will be obtained about the 
potential for BIM23B065 to effectively reduce GH secretion in patient with acromegaly as 
well as the safety and tolerability after multiple administrations of the compound.

2.4 
Biobanking 
• 
To explore potential utility of biomarkers for association with drug activity, adverse

Serum/plasma, whole blood samples will be collected for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) 
and whole blood samples for ribonucleic acid (RNA).

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
3.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
This is an open-label, non randomised, multi-centres, adaptive two-stage phase II study. 
During stage 1, up to 12 subjects will be enrolled to receive BIM23B065 BID for two weeks. 
The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with  GH ≤2.5 μg/l or >50% 
reduction from baseline GH on Day 14. The mean serum concentration of GH collected over 
6 hours will be used for the baseline (Day -1) and endpoint (Day 14) GH determination.  
Several sequential analyses will occur during Stage 1. The Stage 1 arm (BID administration) 
may be terminated early for futility during each of these interim analyses if the responder rate 
does not exceed the pre-determined minimum efficacy criteria (see details in section 4.3 and 
section 8.2). In that case, a stage 2 arm will be initiated during which up to 12 subjects will be 
recruited to receive BIM23B065 three times a day (TID) for 14 days. The same sequential 
analysis and early termination rule for futility will apply during stage 2 as for stage 1. 
Any subjects who withdraw prior to the Day 14 end of treatment visit may be replaced except 
for early withdrawal due to safety and tolerability reasons. As soon as 12 subjects (out of 
which at least 8 are Octreotide responders as tested during the screening period) reach Visit 8, 
withdrawn subjects will not be replaced.  
Both the BID and TID regimen parts will consist of 3 periods (See Figure 1):  
• 
A screening period of 21 days maximum during which the eligibility criteria will be 
assessed. An Octreotide test will be also performed at the latest 7 days prior to first 
IMP administration. 
• 
A treatment period that will consist of twice or three times daily administrations of 
BIM23B065. This period will last for 14 days. The first 6 days will be a titration of 
BIM23B065 (0.4 mg/0.6 mg/0.8 mg BID or TID). Then a stable target dose (1.0 mg) of  
BIM23B065 will be BID or TID administered from Day 7 to Day 14.  
• 
If during the study, a subject experiences any safety or laboratory events that meet the 
criteria in Table 1, they may have their dose reduced to the prior dose (See Figure 2). 
The minimum dose allowed for the treatment period is 0.6mg BID or TID. 
- 
For example, if the criteria for dose reduction are met when a subject is taking 
1.0mg BID or TID, they may be dose reduced to 0.8mg BID or TID. 
- 
If the criteria for dose reduction are met when a subject is taking 0.8mg BID or 
TID, they may be dose reduced to 0.6mg BID or TID. 
- 
A subject may be dose reduced more than once and at anytime during the study. 
For example, from 1.0mg BID or TID to 0.8mg BID or TID and if 
safety/tolerability issues persist, they may be further dose reduced to 0.6mg BID 
or TID. 
• 
If during the titration period, the subject experiences any cardiovascular events that 
meet the criteria in Table 2, they must remain on their current dose and not be dose 
escalated. 
• 
A follow up period that will last for 14 days during which the subjects will not be 
administered BIM23B065.

3.3 
Subjects Managements 
3.3.1 
Study Visits and Procedures 
Study visits and procedures are described in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 15.1). 
3.3.1.1 
Screening Period 
After a subject has received explanations and response(s) to his/her potential questions about 
the study by the Investigator (or designee) and has been given reasonable time to think about 
it, a signed and dated informed consent form will be obtained prior to any study procedures.   
Once informed consent is obtained, subjects will be allocated a study-specific subject number 
which must comply with formatting specifications provided by the Sponsor (see Section 
3.3.2). 
The screening tests and assessments will then be performed to check compliance with 
Inclusion/Exclusion criteria and study restrictions (Visit 1). The results must be obtained and 
confirm subject’s eligibility within 21 days prior to dosing on Day 1. 
In parallel of the completion of the initial screening assessments, subjects will undergo on an 
octreotide test dose to assess their response to somatostatin analogues (SSA) (Visit 2 
performed at the latest on Day -7). An octreotide responder is defined as having a >50% 
reduction from baseline in mean GH in the 6 hours after a single sub-cutaneous injection of 
100μg octreotide (sampling at -15 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours). 
The subjects will be hospitalised 24h prior to first IMP administration and baseline control 
assessments will be performed on Day-1 (Visit 3). Subjects will be hospitalized at the latest in 
the morning of on Day -1 
If a subject has undergone pituitary surgery, and if the subject consents (subject will sign a 
separate and specific consent form), any paraffin-fixed tumour tissue will be analysed for 
SSTR2, SSTR5 and D2 receptor expression. This will either be done at the investigational site 
with a methodology protocol and reagents provided by Ipsen or at a central laboratory using 
the same methodology protocol. Given the difficulties in obtaining tumour blocks it is 
expected that very few will be retrieved and evaluated so this will be an exploratory objective. 
Subjects who do not have tumour tissue available are equally eligible for the study. 
 
Re-screening; due to the inherent variability of the assays for both GH and IGF-1 
measurement, a subject may be re-screened on one occasion should the GH or IGF-1 value (as 
measured by central laboratory) be outside of the inclusion criteria. The decision to rescreen is 
taken at the Investigator’s discretion and the Sponsor must be informed. 
Subject who participated to the stage 1 of the study (BID administration) cannot participate to 
the stage 2 (TID administration).

3.3.1.2 
Study Treatment Period 
Subjects will receive administration of the IMP on the morning of Day 1 (Visit 3). Subject 
will remain hospitalised at least until Day 2 post morning dose assessments. BIM23B065 will 
be administered twice a day or three times a day s.c. injection in the abdominal region with a 
rotation of injection sites between left and right sides. In addition to IMP administration, 
safety, PD and PK assessments will be performed during Visit 3. 
The first 6 days will be a titration of BIM23B065, with the aim of reducing the occurrence of 
known side-effects of dopamine agonists; primarily hypotension. Due to the need for all 
injections of BIM23B065 to be given by a healthcare professional (HCP) and for the close 
monitoring of side-effects and safety, subjects will have the option of either: 
• 
Being admitted to hospital for the whole duration of the treatment period of the study 
irrespective of the IMP administration regimen (i.e. BID or TID administration). 
• 
Only for the BID administration regimen: being admitted for the titration week (up to 
first dose of 1.0mg) and then having a HCP visiting them twice a day to administer 
subsequent doses in-between 3 further visits to the hospital for full study assessments. 
• 
Only for the BID administration regimen: being admitted for 24 hours on Day 1, 
returning to the site for the first injection of each dose increase (every 2 days) during 
the titration week (up to and including 1.0mg) and having a HCP visiting them twice a 
day to administer subsequent doses and complete study assessments. The subject would 
return to hospital for the remaining study visits. 
• 
For the TID administration regimen: due to the frequent injections, the subjects will be 
hospitalised for the treatment period duration. 
Titration of BIM23B065 will be in 4 steps with dose increases every 2 days until the target 
dose is reached at Day 7. The doses will be 0.4mg BID or TID (Day 1 and Day 2), 0.6mg BID 
or TID (Day 3 and Day 4), 0.8mg BID or TID (Day 5 and Day 6) and 1.0mg BID or TID 
(starting at Day 7). The concentration of BIM23B065 will be constant (1.0mg/ml) and the 
required dose will be achieved by adjusting the volume administered (0.4mL, 0.6ml, 0.8ml or 
1.0 ml). Study visits will occur every day that BIM23B065 is uptitrated (Visit 4 on Day 3, 
Visit 5 on Day 5 and Visit 6 on Day 7). Safety will be assessed at all visits, PD during Visits 6 
and 8 and PK assessments will be performed during Visits 6, 7 and 8. 
Subjects will be administered a target dose of 1.0 mg BID or TID from Day 7 until the 
morning of Day 14. The morning dose on Day 14 will be the final dose. Safety assessments 
will be performed during Visit 7 on Day 10. The criteria for either not increasing the dose or 
dose escalation are described in this protocol in Table 1 and Table 2. 
 
If during the study, a subject experiences any safety or laboratory events that meet the criteria 
in Table 1 on page 23, they may have their dose reduced to the prior dose.  
• 
For example, if the criteria for dose reduction are met when a subject is taking 1.0mg 
BID or TID, they may be dose reduced to 0.8mg BID or TID. 
• 
If the criteria for dose reduction are met when a subject is taking 0.8mg BID or TID, 
they may be dose reduced to 0.6mg BID or TID. 
• 
A subject may be dose reduced more than once and at anytime during the study. For 
example, from 1.0mg BID or TID to 0.8mg BID or TID and if safety/tolerability issues 
persist, they may be further dose reduced to 0.6mg BID or TID. 
• 
0.6mg BID or TID is the minimum allowable dose for the treatment period and if a 
subject is unable to tolerate 0.6mg BID or TID, they will be withdrawn from the study.

Page 28 of 78 
 
Last visit of the treatment period will be Visit 8 and will occur on Day 14. Safety, PD and PK 
assessments will be performed. 
As this is a first-in-patient study, the recruitment rate will be as follows for both IMP 
administration regimen parts (i.e. BID or TID); 
For the first 3 subjects for both BID and TID cohorts, no more than 1 subject per 8 days may 
be treated (perform Visit3 - Day1). The Data Review Committee (DRC) will review the first 7 
days safety data of the first 3 subjects including blood biochemistry, blood pressure and ECG 
data. Once the DRC has approved the study to continue, subjects may be enrolled at a rate of 
a maximum of 3 treated subjects per week (in other terms, a maximum of 3 subjects attending 
visit 3 per week). 
3.3.1.3 
End of Study/Early Discontinuation Visit 
Subjects will be discharged from the study after completion of the End of Study (EoS) visit 
(Visit 9) for follow-up assessments which will happen 2 weeks after the last dosing day (Visit 
8), or earlier in case of early treatment discontinuation. 
3.3.2 
Subjects Disposition 
At screening, subjects will be allocated an 11-digit subject number. It will consist of the 
combination of the country number (three digits), centre number (three digits) and the 
sequential order of entry of the subject in the unit (five digits).  
A minimum of 8 octreotide responders must be evaluable in the final analysis. If an octreotide 
responder withdraws prematurely, he/she will be replaced by another octreotide responder. If 
an octreotide non-responder withdraws, they can be replaced by either a responder or non-
responder.  
The minimum evaluable number of subjects is 12 per stage of either BID or TID 
administration. 
A subject is considered evaluable if he or she completes the 14-day treatment period (with 6 
hours GH samples collected). Subjects who withdraw from the study before reaching the 
point of being evaluable will be replaced except for withdrawal due to safety and tolerability 
reasons. If 12 evaluable subjects have already completed visit 8 (day 14) any subsequent 
withdrawn subjects will not be replaced. 
3.3.3 
Study Duration 
For each individual subject, the study is expected to last a maximum of 7 weeks, including up 
to 3 weeks for screening assessments, 2 weeks of study treatment and a 2 weeks safety 
follow-up. 
3.4 
Study Conduct  
All screened subjects must be identifiable throughout the study. The Investigator will 
maintain a list of subject numbers and names (i.e. Subject Identification Log – to be kept on 
site(s)) and a list of all subjects screened (and potentially enrolled) into the study (i.e. 
Screening and Enrolment Log – to be shared with the Sponsor or designee) to enable 
reconciliation of records at a later date if required. 
For screened failure subjects, data collection will be limited to demography, informed consent 
signature date, eligibility and visit status (that includes reason for screen failure). 
The study is planned to be conducted in more than one country. Depending on the recruitment 
rate, number of countries involved may vary.

3.5 
Rationale for the Study Design 
Discussion of Design 
This study will be the first in an acromegaly subject population with a planned 14-day 
treatment period which includes up-titration.  There will be a 2 week safety follow-up period 
during which the subject will not receive BIM23B065. The study treatment is this duration for 
a number of reasons; 
• 
Due to the short t1/2 (5-7 hours), steady state will be reached in a couple of days. This is 
true for both BIM23B065 and the major metabolite. This is sufficient time for the 
required PK analysis. 
• 
The primary endpoint is % subjects with a reduction of mean GH to mean GH≤2.5μg/l 
or a >50% reduction from mean baseline. GH can respond  rapidly to therapy and a 6-
day titration plus 8-day treatment is considered sufficient to see any GH response. 
• 
The 2-stage adaptive design of the trial permits to evaluate two dosage regimen (BID 
and TID) in a maximum of 24 subjects. During Stage 1, the BID regimen will be tested 
in up to 12 subjects. Futility analyses will occur several times during Stage 1. The BID 
regimen will be stopped for futility if it does not meet the primary objective. Then, a 
TID regimen will be initiated in a Stage 2 cohort. The same interim and final futility 
analyses will occur for Stage 2 as for Stage 1 cohort.  
• 
If the BID regimen meets the primary objective of the study at the end of Stage 1, Stage 
2 will not be initiated.

POPULATION RECRUITMENT, ENROLMENT AND WITHDRAWAL 
4.1 
Definitions 
Screened Subject: 
A screened subject is a subject who signed the Informed Consent and could potentially be 
enrolled into the study. 
Screening Failure: 
A subject is considered as a screening failure when he/she is not enrolled in the study after 
signing the Informed Consent. 
Subject Enrolment: 
A subject is considered as enrolled in the study when he/she has received a least one IMP 
administration. 
Subject Drop-out: 
A subject will be considered as drop-out when, for any reason, he/she withdraws from the 
study after the 1st IMP administration. 
4.2 
Recruitment of Population  
The Study will start with the BID administration cohort (Stage 1). The first 3 subjects will 
have to be dosed at least 8 days apart. This is to ensure that safety data can be reviewed by the 
DRC after the titration period before the next subject receives their first dose. If no related 
SAE is reported or unless the first 3 subjects experienced at least one DLT, remaining 
subjects can be dosed at a maximum rate of 3 per week. After the stage 1, the study may 
continue with the TID administration cohort (please see next Section for more details). Again 
the first 3 subjects will have to be dosed at least 8 days apart. This is to ensure that safety data 
can be reviewed by the DRC after the titration period before the next subject receives their 
first dose. If no related SAE is reported or unless the first 3 subjects experienced at least one 
DLT, remaining subjects can be dosed at anytime. 
As described in Section 3.3.1, and for both IMP administration regimen (BID and TID), 
subjects will be screened within 3 weeks before dosing on a voluntary basis.  The criteria for 
enrolment must be followed explicitly.   
As illustrated in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 15.1), eligibility of subjects in the 
study will be based on the results of a screening medical history (including any pre-existing 
conditions, and previous/concomitant medication(s)), physical examination, clinical 
laboratory tests (including PD assessments), GH levels, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) 
and gallbladder echography. These tests / assessments may be performed at any time during 
the screening period (Day -21 to Day -7, included) after Informed Consent signature. Results 
of tests and assessments required at screening should be available to confirm subject’s 
eligibility prior D-7 – when octreotide test will be performed – and prior dosing on Day 1. 
4.3 
Interim Analyses during Stage 1 and Stage 2 
During Stage 1, one interim analysis is planned after 6 subjects complete the Day 14 GH 
assessment. The DRC will meet and review the number of GH responders on Day 14 (i.e. a 
GH responder is defined as a subject with GH ≤2.5µg/l or with at least  50% reduction from 
baseline GH after 6-day titration plus 8-day treatment with BIM23B065 measured by mean 
serum concentration of GH over 6 hours at Day 14) as well as the safety and tolerability data. 
Based on the safety and efficacy data of these subjects, the DRC will decide if the BID cohort 
may be continued or stopped, and if stopped, if a TID cohort (Stage 2) may be initiated, 
according to the following criteria (please see Figure 3 below).  


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 31 of 78 
 
• 
If there are less than 3 responders then the BID regimen (Stage 1) will be stopped for 
futility and Stage 2 will be initiated, where new enrolled subjects will follow the TID 
administration part (Option 1 in Figure 3). 
If there is at least 3 responders, then the Stage 1 will continue: the next 2 subjects will follow 
the BID administration part and DRC will review the safety and efficacy data once 8 subjects 
will have completed stage 1. 
• 
If there are less than 4 responders (out of 8 subjects) then the BID regimen (Stage 1) 
will be stopped for futility and Stage 2 will be initiated, where new enrolled subjects 
will follow the TID administration part (Option 2 in Figure 3). 
If there is at least 4 responders (out of 8 subjects), then the Stage 1 will continue: the next 4 
subjects will follow the BID administration part and DRC will review the safety and efficacy 
data once 12 subjects will have completed stage 1. 
• 
If there are less than 8 responders then the Stage 2 will be initiated, where new enrolled 
subjects will follow the TID administration part (Option 3 in Figure 3). 
If there is at least 8 responders, then no new subjects will be enrolled into the BID 
administration part, no TID administration part will be conducted and the study will be 
stopped. 
At any time of the stage 1 if at least 3 subjects experienced at least one DLT, then the DRC 
will stop the recruitment and no TID administration part will be conducted. 
During Stage 2, one interim analysis is planned after the first 6 subjects will have completed 
the GH Day 14 assessment. The DRC will review safety and efficacy data of these subjects in 
order to decide if the trial may be stopped early for futility or not (please see Figure 4 below).  
If there are less than 3 responders, then no new subjects will be enrolled into the TID 
administration part and the study will stop (Option 1 in Figure 4). 
If there is at least 3 responders (out of 6 subjects), then the next 2 subjects will follow the TID 
administration part and DRC will review the safety and efficacy data once 8 subjects will 
have completed stage 2. 
If there are less than 4 responders (out of 8 subjects) then the TID regimen (Stage 2) will be 
stopped for futility, no new subjects will be enrolled into the TID administration part and the 
study will stop (Option 2 in Figure 4). 
If there is at least 4 responders, then the Stage 2 will continue: the next 4 subjects will follow 
the TID administration part once 12 subjects will have completed stage 2 and the study will 
be stopped (Option 3 in Figure 4). 
Again, at any time of the stage 2 if at least 3 subjects experienced at least one DLT, then the 
DRC will stop the recruitment.

4.6 
Randomisation 
No randomisation list will be required for this open-label study. Subjects will be identified 
throughout the study with the subject number assigned at screening (see Section 3.3.2). 
4.7 
Discontinuation of an Individual Subject 
4.7.1 
Discontinuation / Withdrawal Criteria 
All subjects are free to interrupt or withdraw their consent to participate in the study at any 
time, for any reason, specified or non-specified, and without penalty. 
A subject may also be discontinued from the study upon Sponsor’s and/or Investigator’s 
decision for any appropriate reason, such as safety related to an adverse event or concomitant 
therapy, major protocol violation or deviation, noncompliance with protocol restrictions, etc. 
The Sponsor and its representatives must be informed of all cases of discontinuation.   
The criteria described in Table 3 on page 23 are for the discontinuation of study drug 
administration for reasons of safety. 
For studies, with optional biobanking Subjects participating to the optional research 
biobanking program have the right to withdraw their consent at any time and for any reason 
during the study or during the period of sample storage (i.e. the entire 15 years during which 
the sample is kept). If a subject wishes to withdraw his consent for biobanking and the 
samples are still at the Investigator site at this time, the Investigator must inform the study 
monitor in writing of the subject’s decision and destroy the samples. The study monitor will 
forward confirmation of the destruction to the repository leader in the Biomarker team.  
If the samples are at the Sponsor’s repository (central lab or the biobanking vendor), the 
Investigator must inform directly the Sponsor using following e-mail address 
 who will ensure destruction of the samples and all 
corresponding aliquots and issue confirmation of the withdrawal, which will be forwarded to 
the Investigator. 
4.7.2 
Follow-up Procedures for Drop-out Subjects 
In case a subject who has already taken study medication(s) drops out or is discontinued from 
the study earlier than study end, the end of study/early discontinuation (ED) visit (Visit 9) 
should preferably be done within 14 days of the last IMP administration. It is preferred not for 
it to be done on the day of discontinuation so that all safety events are captured that occur in 
the days after the last IMP administration and before the EoS/ED visit. However, if there is no 
option but to complete the EoS/ED visit on the day of discontinuation, then this is acceptable.  
The reason and date for drop-out should be documented. 
Drop-out subjects will have completed their study participation when they have undergone all 
assessments of this last study visit (EoS/ED), and electronic case report form (eCRF) should 
be completed up to these last assessments. 
Data collected prior to subject discontinuation may be kept in study records and shared with 
the Sponsor for study analyses (see Section 9) unless a subject formally specifies his/her 
decision to withdraw his consent for using data already collected before discontinuation.  
4.7.3 
Replacement Strategy 
Subjects who drop-out from the study after IMP administration but before reaching last IMP 
administration on day 14 and its associated assessments will be replaced. The exception is if 
the drop-out is due to a safety or tolerability reason. As soon as 12 subjects (out of which at 
least 8 are Octreotide responders) reach Visit 8, withdrawn subjects will not be replaced.

4.8 
Discontinuation of Study Site(s) 
Study site participation may be discontinued if the Sponsor, the Investigator, or the ethics 
committee (EC) of the study site judges it necessary for any reason. 
4.9 
Discontinuation of Subject's Recruitment 
Subjects’ recruitment in the study may be stopped at any time upon Sponsor’s decision, e.g. if 
actual data indicate that a sufficient number of subjects have already been enrolled in the 
study or for any other appropriate reason. 
4.10 
Study Termination 
The study can be discontinued prematurely at any time if the Sponsor judges it for any 
appropriate reason. In that case, all scheduled procedures and assessment for subjects who are 
still in the study will be performed.

Storage 
The Investigator, or designee (e.g. Pharmacist), will ensure that IMPs will be stored, and 
returned or destroyed according to applicable regulations.  The IMP will be stored in a 
secured and locked area, under monitored conditions and at the recommended temperature 
(between +2°C and +8°C), in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and any 
other specific instructions provided by the Sponsor. If IMP is taken home by the subjects, they 
will be instructed to keep the IMP in a refrigerator. All IMP will be administered by qualified 
staff members at the investigational site, or by a HCP outside the investigational site. 
Supplies for this study will not be stored in such a way that they may be confounded with 
supplies being used for another study. 
Investigational Drug Accountability 
BIM23B065 will be provided to the Investigator, or designee (e.g. Pharmacist), and 
administered to subjects by appropriately trained study staff as described in Section 5.1.2. 
The Pharmacist or assignee will record drug movement and accountability on specific drug 
accountability forms/logs.  Study medication allocation, preparation and disposition records, 
as well as shipping, dispensing and returned drug records, and inventory logs must be 
maintained at the investigational site.  
The dispensing for each subject will also be documented in the eCRF. 
It is essential that all used and unused supplies are retained for verification by the Sponsor or 
designee who will ensure that BIM23B065 administration in the eCRF, the accountability 
forms/logs and the number of remaining used/unused treatments are consistent.  
At the end of the study, all remaining IMPs will be preferably destroyed at the investigational 
site or return to CMC-SC (Beaufour Ipsen Industry – Dreux) for destruction (only if site is not 
able to do it). The destruction of used and unused BIM23B065 should be carried out only 
after any discrepancies have been investigated and satisfactorily explained and the 
reconciliation has been accepted by the Sponsor or designee. 
5.1.2 
Study Drug Administration 
The Investigator, or designee, will only administer BIM23B065 to subjects enrolled in this 
study. 
Each dose of IMP will be prepared and allocated to subject(s) according to the pre-determined 
dosing schedule agreed upfront with the Sponsor or designee. 
Preparation Procedure 
BIM23B065 will be supplied as a sterile solution in vials for s.c. injection, in one dosage 
strength at 1.0 mg/ml. 
Administration Procedure 
The Investigator, or an approved representative (e.g. pharmacist), will ensure that all 
BIM23B065 is administered by qualified staff members. 
The study drug will be administered to the subject via s.c. injection in the abdominal region 
(intended volume of administration will be 0.4 ml, 0.6 ml, 0.8 ml and 1.0 ml). There will be a 
rotation of the injection sites in the abdomen between the left and right sides.  BIM23B065 
will be administered BID (morning dose and evening dose) or TID (morning dose, mid-day 
dose and evening dose) for the whole duration of the treatment period except on Day 14 when 
only the morning dose will be administered.  
When the IMP is administered twice a day, there should be an interval of 12 hours (± 1 hour) 
between the morning and the evening doses. 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 40 of 78 
 
When the IMP is administered three times a day, IMP should be administered every 8 hours ± 
1 hour. First IMP administration in the morning should be around 8 a.m., second IMP 
administration should be around 4 pm and third IMP administration will be around midnight. 
Section 6.1 has details of when BIM23B065 should be administered regarding food intake. 
5.2 
Blinding  
Not applicable (open label study). 
5.3 
Product Complaint 
Sponsor collects product complaints on study drugs used in clinical trials in order to ensure 
the safety of study participants, monitor quality, and to facilitate process and product 
improvements. 
The Investigator is responsible for handling the following aspects of the product complaint 
process in accordance with the instructions provided for this study: 
• 
Recording a complete description of the product complaint reported and any associated 
AEs using the study-specific complaint forms provided for this purpose. 
• 
Faxing the completed product complaint form within 24 hours to Sponsor or designee. 
If the Investigator is asked to return the product for investigation, they will return a copy of 
the product complaint form with the product.

STUDY RESTRICTIONS 
6.1 
Study Drug Administration 
No food effect on IMP exposure has been demonstrated so far in the development of 
BIM23B065. In the interest of keeping food intake constant in case of effect on GH 
secretion/levels, breakfast is to be eaten within 1 hour of the morning dose – either 1 hour 
before or 1 hour after. Nevertheless, for each subjects, breakfast intake with regards to 
morning dosing should remain the same for the whole treatment period. 
For the evening dose (BID administration) and for the afternoon and night dose (TID 
administration), there are no specific restrictions regarding food intake related to IMP 
administration. In the phase I healthy volunteer study, there were reports of abdominal pain in 
some subjects after the evening dose which was given in a fed state. There was less abdominal 
pain reported after the morning dose which was given in a fasted state. As a result, if a subject 
reports abdominal pain post-administration of BIM23B065, the evening injection (BID 
administration) or the afternoon and the night injection (TID administration) can be given 
when the subject is in a fasted state.   
Episodes of hypotension were reported after IMP administration during the phase I study in 
healthy volunteers. It is recommended to ask the subject to remain lying down or sitting in a 
reclined chair for approximately 30 minutes after each dose before standing in order to 
minimise the risk of episodes of dizziness or syncope. After 30 minutes in supine/reclined 
position, the subject should be sitting for at least two minutes before standing. 
6.2 
Concomitant Therapy(ies) 
Concomitant drugs or therapies are to be avoided during the study unless required to treat an 
AE or an ongoing medical condition. 
Concomitant administration of bradycardia inducing drugs (e.g. beta-blocker) is not allowed, 
as it may inhibit compensatory increases in HR during any hypotensive episodes. 
Clonidine, Alpha-blockers, Verapamil and Diltiazem, Amiodarone, Ivabradine and Anti-
cholinesterase drugs should also not be allowed. 
During the study, the Investigator should regularly check if the subject has received any 
concomitant medication/therapy that is not permitted at study entry.   
Subjects will provide information about all previous medication taken over the last 3 months 
and investigational drug taken over the last year, and this information will be recorded on the 
appropriate eCRF. 
Contraception 
The inclusion of Women Of ChildBearing Potential (WOCBP) requires use of a highly 
effective contraceptive measure (5) 
Methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and 
correctly are considered as highly effective birth control methods. Such methods include: 
• 
progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: 
- 
oral 
- 
injectable 
- 
implantable 
- 
intravaginal 
- 
transdermal 
• 
intra-uterin device (IUD) 
• 
Intra-uterin hormone-releasing system (IUS) with no oestrogen 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 42 of 78 
 
• 
bilateral tubal occlusion 
• 
vasectomised partner1 
• 
sexual abstinence2 
One of the contraceptive methods is required for women with childbearing potential for the 
duration of the study, i.e. from enrolment until discharge from the study. In addition, subject 
will be asked to continue to use contraceptive method 3 months following the last dose of 
study drug. 
6.3 
Lifestyle Restrictions 
Non Applicable for this study 
                                                 
 
 
 
1 Vasectomised partner is a highly effective birth control method provided that partner is the sole sexual partner 
of the WOCBP trial participant and that the vasectomised partner has received medical assessment of the 
surgical success. 
2 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 treatments. The reliability of sexual 
abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual 
lifestyle of the subject.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS 
Timing of safety assessments, PD and PK sampling collection, and any other tests is specified 
in the attached study schedule of events table. Maximum blood volume for all tests and assays 
is also documented for each of the tests in the attached summary of blood collection volumes 
(See Section 15.3).   
7.1 
 Safety Assessments 
The Investigator is responsible for monitoring the safety of the subjects who have entered the 
study and to take appropriate action during the study concerning any event that seems 
unusual, as well as to alert the Sponsor or its assigned representative. 
The Investigator remains responsible for following, through an appropriate health care option, 
AEs that are serious or that caused the subject to discontinue before completing the study.  
The subject should be followed until the event is resolved or explained. Frequency of follow-
up evaluation is left to the discretion of the Investigator. 
The Investigator will be responsible for a clinical assessment of the study participants before 
discharge from the study, and for the set up of a discharge plan if needed. 
In addition to records of observations made at specific times, unexpected signs and symptoms 
and concomitant medications will be recorded in the clinical study records throughout the 
study. 
Safety Parameters 
The following safety parameters will be collected during this study at specific time points 
described in the study schedule of events: 
• 
Adverse events; 
• 
Physical examination with oral/body temperature and body weight/height 
• 
Vital signs, including HR, SBP and DBP  
• 
12-Lead ECG and 3-lead Holter 
• 
Clinical safety laboratories, including clinical chemistry, haematology, HbA1c, insulin, 
glucagon and concurrent glucose. 
• 
Endocrine parameters including, ACTH, Cortisol, LH, FSH, FT4, TSH and 
Testosterone (for male subjects only); 
• 
Gallbladder echography, 
• 
Anti-BIM23B065 Antibodies. 
Further routine medical assessments or any additional safety procedures may be performed 
during the study, if warranted and agreed upon between the Sponsor and Investigator, or when 
clinically indicated. 
Any clinically significant findings that result in a diagnosis should be recorded and 
commented on appropriate document. 
7.1.1 
Adverse Events  
7.1.1.1 
Definition 
An AE is the development of an undesirable medical condition or the deterioration of a pre-
existing medical condition, whether or not considered causally related to the product. An 
undesirable medical condition can be symptoms (e.g. nausea, chest pain), signs (e.g. 
tachycardia, enlarged liver) or the abnormal results of an investigation (e.g. laboratory 
findings, ECG). 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 44 of 78 
 
An AE can include an undesirable medical condition occurring at any time, even if no IMP 
has been administered. 
This definition includes events occurring from the time of the subject giving informed consent 
until the EoS/ED. 
7.1.1.2 
Adverse Event Collection 
AEs will be monitored from the time that a subject gives informed consent and throughout the 
study, and will be elicited by direct, nonleading questioning or by spontaneous reports. 
All observed or volunteered AEs, regardless of treatment group or suspected causal 
relationship to IMP, will be recorded on the AE page(s) of the eCRF.  
Laboratory Test Abnormalities 
Abnormalities in laboratory test values should only be reported as AEs if any of the following 
apply:  
• 
They result in a change in IMP schedule of administration (change in dosage, delay in 
administration, IMP discontinuation), 
• 
They require intervention or a diagnosis evaluation to assess the risk to the subject, 
• 
They are considered as clinically significant by the Investigator. 
• 
The management of elevations in AST/ALT and/or bilirubin is detailed in the algorithm 
in Attachment 4 (Section 15.4). Should such elevations be detected during the study, 
the subject management algorithm is to be followed. The parameters in the algorithm in 
Attachment 4 correlate with the guidance in Table 3 in Section 3.1. 
Abnormal Physical Examination Findings  
Clinically significant changes, in the judgement of the Investigator, in physical examination 
findings (abnormalities) will be recorded as AEs.  
Other Investigation Abnormal Findings 
Abnormal test findings as judged by the Investigator as clinically significant (e.g. 
electrocardiogram changes) that result in a change in IMP dosage or administration schedule, 
or in discontinuation of the IMP, or require intervention or diagnostic evaluation to assess the 
risk to the subject, should be recorded as AEs.  
7.1.1.3 
Adverse Events Assessment 
For all AEs, sufficient information should be obtained by the Investigator to determine the 
causality of the AE (i.e. IMP or other illness). The Investigator is required to assess causality 
and record that assessment in the eCRF. 
Adverse events will be classified by the Investigator as mild, moderate or severe according to 
the following criteria: 
• 
Mild: Symptoms do not alter the subject’s normal functioning, 
• 
Moderate: Symptoms produce some degree of impairment to function, but are not 
hazardous, uncomfortable or embarrassing to the subject, 
• 
Severe: Symptoms definitely hazardous to well-being, significant impairment of 
function or incapacitation. 
If in the duration of an AE there is a change in intensity, each change will be recorded as a 
new episode of the AE. 
The relationship of an AE to IMP administration will be classified by the Investigator 
according to the following: 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 45 of 78 
 
• 
Related: Reports including good reasons and sufficient information (e.g. plausible time 
sequence, dose-response relationship, pharmacology) to assume a causal relationship 
with IMP administration in the sense that it is plausible, conceivable or likely.  
• 
Not related: Reports including good reasons and sufficient information (e.g. 
implausible time sequence and/or attributable to concurrent disease or other drugs) to 
rule out a causal relationship with IMP administration. 
The expectedness of an AE shall be determined by the Sponsor according to the current 
version of the IB. 
Any AEs already recorded and designated as “continuing” should be reviewed at each 
subsequent assessment. 
If a subject's treatment is discontinued or changed as a result of an AE, study site personnel 
must clearly report to the Sponsor or its designee the circumstances and data leading to such 
decision. 
7.1.1.4 
Adverse Event Follow-up 
If an AE is still present at the end of the study, reasonable follow-up clinical monitoring 
should be managed by the Investigator or any appropriate physician until event is resolved or 
stabilised at an acceptable level, as judged by the Investigator.  The frequency of follow-up 
evaluation is left to his/her discretion. 
7.1.1.5 
Clinical Evaluation of Safety 
All study drug and protocol procedure AEs will be listed, and if the frequency of events 
allows, safety data will be summarised using descriptive methodology. 
The incidence of symptoms for each treatment will be presented by severity and by 
association with study drug as perceived by the Investigator.  Symptoms reported to occur 
prior to dosing will be distinguished from those reported as new or increased in severity 
during or after IMP administration.  Each symptom will be classified by the most suitable 
term from a version of a medical regulatory dictionary agreed by the Sponsor and other 
parties involved in the study. 
7.1.1.6 
Serious Adverse Event Assessment 
Definition 
A SAE is defined as any adverse event that either: 
(1) 
Results in death, 
(2) 
Is life-threatening, that is any event that places the subject at immediate risk of death 
from the event as it occurs. It does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more 
severe form, might have caused death, 
(3) 
Results in in-patient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, 
excluding admission for social or administrative reasons, 
(4) 
Results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, where disability is a 
substantial disruption of a person's ability to conduct normal life functions, 
(5) 
Results in congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a subject who received 
the IMP, 
(6) 
Is an important medical event that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or 
require hospitalisation when, based upon appropriate medical judgement, may 
jeopardise the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one 
of the outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such medical events include 
allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 46 of 78 
 
blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in in-patient hospitalisation, or the 
development of drug dependency or drug abuse. 
(7) 
Other medically important conditions 
In addition to the above criteria, any additional AE that the Sponsor or an Investigator 
considers serious should be immediately reported to the Sponsor and included in the corporate 
SAEs database system. 
• 
Hospitalisation is defined as any in-patient admission (even if less than 24 hours). For 
chronic or long term in-patients, in-patient admission also includes transfer within the 
hospital to an acute/intensive care in-patient unit. 
• 
Prolongation of hospitalisation is defined as any extension of an in-patient 
hospitalisation beyond the stay anticipated/required in relation to the original reason for 
the initial admission, as determined by the Investigator or treating physician. For 
protocol-specified hospitalisation in clinical studies, prolongation is defined as any 
extension beyond the length of stay described in the protocol. Prolongation in the 
absence of a precipitating, treatment emergent, clinical AE (i.e. not associated with the 
development of a new AE or worsening of a pre-existing condition) may meet criteria 
for "seriousness" but is not an adverse experience and thus is not subject to immediate 
reporting to the Sponsor.  
Preplanned or elective treatments/surgical procedures should be noted in the subject’s 
screening documentation. Hospitalisation for a preplanned or elective treatment/surgical 
procedure should not be reported as an SAE unless there are complications or sequelae which 
meet the criteria for seriousness described above. 
SAE Collection and Reporting 
Study site personnel must immediately (within 24 hours) report any SAE to the Sponsor using 
the contact details specified on the front page of the current document, independent of the 
circumstances, together with the Investigator's opinion of causality, as soon as it occurs or 
comes to the attention of the Investigator at any time during the study period. 
Any SAE with a suspected causal relationship to IMP administration occurring at any other 
time after completion of the study must be promptly reported. 
The following information is the minimum that must be provided to the Sponsor: 
• 
Study number, 
• 
Investigational site identification, 
• 
Subject number, 
• 
AE, 
• 
Investigator’s name and contact details. 
The additional information included in the SAE form must be provided to the Sponsor or 
representative as soon as it is available. The Investigator should always provide an assessment 
of causality for each event reported to the Sponsor. Upon receipt of the initial report, the 
Sponsor will ask for the Investigator’s causality assessment if it was not provided with the 
initial report. 
The Investigator should report a diagnosis or a syndrome rather than individual signs or 
symptoms. The Investigator should also try to separate a primary AE considered as the 
foremost untoward medical occurrence from secondary AEs which occurred as complications. 
7.1.1.7 
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions 
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) are serious events that are not 
listed in the IB and that the Investigator identifies as related to IMP or procedure.

7.1.1.8 
Pregnancy 
Pregnancy tests will be performed in all female subjects of childbearing potential as specified 
in the schedule of assessments (See Section 15.1). 
Information regarding pregnancies with a conception date either during the study period or 
within 3 months after dosing must be collected in the eCRF and reported to the Sponsor on a 
Standard Pregnancy Outcome Report Form. 
The Investigator must instruct all female subjects to inform him/her immediately should they 
become pregnant. The Investigator should counsel the subject, discuss the risks of continuing 
with the pregnancy and the possible effects on the foetus. Monitoring of the subject should 
continue until conclusion of the pregnancy. The Sponsor will request further information from 
the Investigator as to the course and outcome of the pregnancy using a Standard Pregnancy 
Outcome Report Form. Adverse consequences of a pregnancy will be regarded as SAEs. 
If the Investigator becomes aware of a pregnancy occurring in the partner of a subject 
participating in the study, this should be reported to the Sponsor. After the partner has given 
informed consent, she should be counselled and monitored until conclusion of the pregnancy. 
7.1.1.9 
Death 
All AEs resulting in death either during the study period or within 1 months after dosing must 
be reported as a SAE. 
The convention for recording death is as follows: 
• 
AE term: lead cause of death (e.g. multiple organ failure, pneumonia, myocardial 
infarction), 
• 
Outcome: fatal. 
The only exception is if the cause of death is unknown (i.e. sudden or unexplained death), in 
which case the AE term may be “death” or “sudden death”. 
7.1.1.10 Reporting to Competent Authorities, IECs/IRBs and other Investigators 
The Sponsor will ensure that processes are in place for submission of reports of SUSARs 
occurring during the study to the Competent Authorities (CAs), Independent Ethics 
Committees (IECs)/Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and other Investigators concerned by 
the IMP. 
Reporting will be done in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. The 
Sponsor must report all SUSARs to EMA’s EudraVigilance database within 15 days. 
Fatal and life-threatening SUSARs should be reported within 7 calendar days, with another 8 
days for completion of the report. 
The Sponsor can prepare additional reports for other authorities (e.g. Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA)). 
7.1.2 
Physical Examination 
Physical examinations will be conducted as presented in the Study Schedule of Events (see 
Section 15.1). 
Clinically significant changes, in the judgement of the Investigator, in physical examination 
findings will be recorded as AEs. Any physical examination findings (abnormalities) 
persisting at the end of the study will be followed by the Investigator until resolution or until 
reaching a clinically stable endpoint. 
7.1.3 
Vital Signs Assessments 
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and heart rate (HR) will be assessed 
with an automated device so that measurements are independent of the observer. Body 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 48 of 78 
 
Weight and body temperature will also be assessed and recorded as part of vital signs 
assessments. Height will be measured at Screening Visit only. 
Blood pressures and HR will be measured as follows: 
 
Automated blood pressure (ABP) will consist of a 5-hour post-dose period recording and 
should be started at least 1 hour pre-dose in the morning of the visit (recordings every 30 
minutes). Recordings should be taken every 30 minutes for the first hour post-dose, then 
every 15 minutes for the second hour post-dose and every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours. 
ABP will be taken at visit 3 (Day -1 as baseline assessment and Day 1: to include the morning 
dose), visit 4 (Day 3: to include the morning dose), visit 5 (Day 5: to include the morning 
dose), visit 6 (Day 7: to include the morning dose), visit 7 (Day 10: to include the morning 
dose) and visit 8 (Day 14: to include the morning dose).  The machine used for ABP 
measurements will be standardised across study sites with evidence of recent calibration. 
Recordings will be stored with the ABP machine and will be transferred to central reader as 
specified in a specific study manual. 
At the times stipulated in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 15.1), single 
measurement of supine blood pressure will be recorded on the hospital subject file and 
reported onto the eCRF. Single BP measurement will be obtained with the same machine used 
for ABP measurement. All BP assessments will be taken in triplicate. 
Measurements of orthostatic blood pressure will consist of BP measurements of subject being 
standing for 2 minutes after at least 10 minutes supine. Orthostatic blood pressure timepoints 
are stipulated in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 15.1). 
Orthostatic hypotension will be defined as a decrease of 20 mmHg or more in SBP or 10 
mmHg or more in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from supine to standing or more than 30 
bpm increases in pulse rate, after standing for 2 minutes from resting supine position of at 
least 10 minutes. 
7.1.4 
Electrocardiograms Assessments 
A 3 lead Holter device will be used at visit 3 (Day -1 as baseline assessment and Day 1), visit 
6 (Day 7) and visit 7 (Day 10). A continuous 24-hour post-dose period will be recorded and 
should be started at least 15 minutes pre-dose in the morning of the visit. The 24-hour period 
will cover two or three administrations of IMP (except for Day -1 where there will be no IMP 
administration, this assessment will be the baseline assessment). The Holter device can be 
removed immediately prior to the third (when BID administration) or fourth (when TID 
administration) scheduled administration of IMP. 
At the times stipulated in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 15.1), , 3 consecutive 
twelve-lead computerised standard ECGs, with paper printout, will be obtained  whilst the 
subject is in resting supine position for at least 10 minutes. At Visits when IMP is 
administered, this assessment will be performed post-dose. ECG machines will be 
standardised between sites and ECG data analysed by a central reader in addition to the local 
analysis described below. All assessments will be performed in triplicate. 
For each timepoint, computerised standard ECGs will be recorded so that the following 
parameters can be automatically calculated and reported on the ECG paper printout: 
• 
Sinus rhythm, 
• 
RR interval duration or HR, 
• 
PR interval duration, 
• 
QRS interval duration, 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 49 of 78 
 
• 
QT interval duration, 
• 
QT interval corrected by the Fridericia correction method. 
Automated ECG interval data will be interpreted by a qualified physician at the site as soon 
after the time of ECG collection as possible, and ideally while the subject is still present, for 
immediate subject management. The qualified physician will document his/her review and 
interpretation (including evaluation of clinical significance in case of abnormality) on every 
ECG printout.  
The paper printouts will be kept in the source documents at site. Only the interpretation and 
abnormalities after central review will be reported in the eCRFs for integration with other 
clinical study data.  These paper ECGs may be subject to further review, if appropriate. 
ECG analysis will be included as a safety evaluation/endpoint in this study. 
Any clinically significant abnormalities will be recorded as AEs. 
7.1.5 
Clinical Safety Laboratory Tests  
Blood will be collected for standard clinical laboratory tests, including biochemistry, 
haematology, as well as specific tests such as urine/serum pregnancy tests for women of 
childbearing potential) at timepoints indicated in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 
15.1).  
The exact lists of parameters to be assessed are given in Section 15.2. 
7.1.5.1 
Urinalysis 
Freshly voided urine samples (at least 10 mL) will be collected to perform a dipstick 
assessment of the parameters described in Section 15.2.  
Microscopy will be performed, if indicated. If in the opinion of the Investigator there are any 
clinically significant abnormalities in microscopy, they will be recorded as an AE in the 
eCRF.  
7.1.5.2 
Pregnancy Test 
Human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) urine test will be performed for all female subjects of 
childbearing potential at Screening (visit 1), pre-dose (visit 3) and EoS (visit 9). It may be 
repeated at any time during the study according to Investigator’s judgement. 
In case of a positive urine test, a Beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (ßHCG) serum test will 
be performed and if clinically indicated thereafter. 
Any subject becoming pregnant during the study will be withdrawn from treatment. All 
pregnancies that occur during the study are to be reported as described in Section 7.1.1.8. 
7.1.5.3 
Investigator’s Review 
Investigators must document their review of each laboratory report by signing or initialling 
and dating each report.  Laboratory values that fall outside a clinically accepted reference 
range or values that differ significantly from previous values will be evaluated. 
When multiple laboratory values are out of range but not clinically significant, “all labs NCS” 
or a general comment may be written on the laboratory page.  However, all clinically 
significant laboratory values must be individually marked with CS. 
The Investigator will review the safety laboratory test results, document the review, and 
record any clinically relevant changes occurring or observed during the study in the AE 
section of the eCRF (see Section 7.1.1 for abnormal laboratory tests that should be recorded 
as AEs). 
All clinically relevant abnormal laboratory tests occurring during the study will be repeated at 
appropriate intervals until they return to baseline or to a level deemed acceptable by the 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 50 of 78 
 
Investigator and the Sponsor’s clinical monitor (or his/her designated representative) or until 
the abnormality is explained by an appropriate diagnosis.  
7.1.5.4 
Sample Handling, Storage and Destruction 
Full details related to the samples processing, labelling, storage, shipment, destruction 
procedures, methodology and reference ranges will be provided to the Investigator via 
separate instructions and archived in the Trial Master File (TMF). 
Tests are run and confirmed promptly whenever scientifically appropriate. When scientific 
circumstances warrant, however, it is acceptable to retain samples to batch the tests run, or to 
retain the samples until the end of the study to confirm that the results are valid.  Certain 
samples may be retained for a longer period, if necessary, to comply with applicable laws, 
regulations, or laboratory certification standards. Clinical laboratory tests will be performed 
by local laboratories (apart for urine pregnancy test). 
7.1.6 
Additional Definitions or Special Procedures  
7.1.6.1 
Gallbladder Echography 
A Gallbladder echography will be conducted according to study site procedures for the 
evaluation of presence or absence of lithiasis or sludge as illustrated in the Study Schedule of 
Events (see Section 15.1). The results will be recorded in the eCRF specifically the presence 
or absence of biliary sludge or stones. 
7.1.6.2

Additional exploratory model-based analysis using non-linear mixed effects model 
(population PK analysis) might also be conducted using specific software (e.g. NONMEM). 
7.4 
Pharmacodynamic Assessment(s) 
For this study, the primary PD parameter will be GH. 
The other PD parameters, IGF-1 and PRL concentrations will be regarded as secondary 
endpoints and used as supportive information to complete the efficacy evaluation. 
Blood samples will be collected at timepoints indicated in the Study Schedule of Events (see 
Section 15.1). 
All PD parameters will be assessed in a central laboratory. All details of sample collection, 
handling and shipment will be provided in the laboratory manual. Details of methodology and 
reference ranges will be provided in the TMF. 
7.5 
Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics Evaluation 
To investigate the relationship between PD/safety variables (GH, IGF-1, PRL, blood pressure, 
HR) and PK exposure, exploratory PK/PD modeling might be performed if a relationship 
between BIM23B065 exposure and PD effect can be defined. Details regarding PK and 
PK/PD modeling will be described in a separate Pharmacometric Analysis Plan and results 
will be reported in a standalone report. 
7.6 
Optional Exploratory Assessment(s) 
7.6.1 
Tumour Tissue Receptors Profile 
For subjects who have undergone pituitary surgery and who consent (on a separate and 
specific consent) paraffin-fixed tumour tissue (when available and in accordance with local 
regulations) will be collected for further analyses on correlation of the GH, IGF-1 and PRL 
responses with the expression of SSTR2, SSTR5 and D2. 
7.6.2 
Biobanking 
Analysis of biobank samples will be performed outside the scope of the main study and 
reported separately. 
Serum and plasma, whole blood samples for RNA and whole blood samples for DNA, are 
biobanked for future analysis of circulating markers, including proteins, pharmacogenetic and 
pharmacogenomic biomarkers and will only be collected for those subjects who have agreed 
to it by signing the specific informed consent form for the optional exploratory part of the 
study. 
The biobanked samples will be stored for up to 15 years from the end of the study, to be made 
available for future research towards further understanding of (i) treatment response 
including, but not limited to, the safety profile, (ii) drug treatment mode of actions and (iii) 
disease understanding. 
Instructions for collection, processing, handling and shipment of the samples banking are 
outlined in Section 15.5 and will be detailed in the laboratory manual.  
Samples to be used for serum, plasma and whole blood for DNA, and whole blood for RNA, 
will be at timepoints indicated in the Study Schedule of Events (see Section 15.1). 
Serum/Plasma Biobank for Biomarker Assessment 
Total blood will be collected on specific dry tubes for serum isolation and frozen for storage. 
Further details of sample collection, coding and analysis will be provided in a laboratory 
manual. 
Blood for DNA and RNA for Biobank 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016

Blood will be collected in PAXgene DNA and RNA tubes, which have proprietary materials 
in them to preserve the integrity of the nucleic acids so only the recommended volume should 
be collected. 
Further details of sample collection, coding and analysis will be provided in a laboratory 
manual. 
7.7 
Compliance to Study Procedures 
7.7.1 
Compliance to Protocol 
Every attempt will be made to select subjects who have the ability to understand and comply 
with instructions.  Noncompliant subjects may be discontinued from the study.  The time and 
day of drug administration may be recorded.  Drug accountability records will be maintained 
by the study site. 
7.7.2 
Compliance to Timing of Procedures 
The specifications in this protocol for the timings and dates of primary tests are given as 
targets, to be achieved within reasonable limits. The scheduled time points may be subject to 
minor deviations within the allowed time windows specified in the Study Schedule of Events 
(see Section 15.1); however, the actual time must always be correctly recorded in the eCRF 
and other relevant source documents. Any excursion outside of these allowed time windows 
might be regarded as protocol violation. 
Modifications may be made by the Sponsor to the time points based upon the 
safety/tolerability and PK information obtained.  Any major modification that might affect the 
conduct of the study, subject safety, and/or data integrity will be detailed in a protocol 
amendment.

STATISTICAL ANALYSES 
8.1 
Data Analysis Plan 
8.1.1 
General Considerations 
Statistical analysis will be performed by the Sponsor or designee selected Contract Research 
Organisation (CRO) according to ICH E9 guidelines  and using SAS version 9.3 or higher. 
Further details of the statistical analyses will be available in a Statistical Analysis Plan 
developed by the CRO per Sponsor agreement and approval. All data will be listed and 
summarised for the BID (Stage 1) and TID (Stage 2) treatment regimen separately. 
8.1.2 
Analyses Population 
The following populations will be used during statistical analyses: 
• 
Safety population/Intent to treat (ITT): All subjects with at least one IMP 
administration 
• 
Modified Intent to treat (mITT) population: All subjects in the Safety population with 
available pharmacodynamic data and no protocol deviations with relevant impact on 
PD data. 
• 
Efficacy Evaluable population: All subjects in the mITT population with non missing 
evaluations of the primary efficacy criterion (mean concentration of GH over 6 hours) 
at baseline and V8 (+14 days post baseline). 
• 
Per protocol (PP) population: All subjects in the efficacy evaluable population who 
complete the study and for whom no major protocol violations/deviations occurred. 
8.1.3 
Determination of Sample Size 
The maximum sample size will be 24 evaluable subjects (12 per stage). Enrolled subjects who 
drop out of the study prior to Day 14 GH evaluation may be replaced. If 12 evaluable subjects 
have already completed visit 8 (Day 14) any subsequent withdrawn subjects will not be 
replaced. 
A minimum of 8 of the 12 evaluable subjects must be responsive to a single test dose of 
octreotide pre-study defined as a >50% reduction in GH. 
Per the primary endpoint, a subject is defined as a responder if the median concentration of 
GH over 6 hours is ≤2.5µg/l or if there is at least 50% reduction from mean baseline in GH at 
Day 14 (after 6 days titration plus 8 days treatment).  
Based on the exact test for single proportion, twelve evaluable subjects per stage would be 
sufficient to have over 84% power, at a significance level of 0.05 (one sided) to reject the  
• 
null hypothesis that there is no indication of efficacy of BIM23B065 if the GH 
responder rate is at most 33%, assuming that the GH responder rate is equal to 75%.  
8.1.4 
Primary Analysis 
The primary efficacy variable is the percentage of subjects with mean GH ≤ 2.5 μg/l at V8 or 
at least 50% reduction in the mean change from baseline at V8 (14 days after first IMP 
administration) i.e. % GH responders. The mean serum concentration of GH is obtained for 
baseline and V8 from the non-missing serum concentrations of GH recorded over 6 hours on 
these days. The proportion of GH responders will be reported with its 90% confidence 
interval calculated using the exact Clopper-Pearson method. The null hypothesis that the GH 
responder rate is not clinically relevant will be rejected if the lower 90% confidence boundary 
is larger than 33%. Primary efficacy analysis will be based on the Efficacy evaluable 
population.

8.1.5 
Study Participant Disposition 
The numbers and percentages of subjects enrolled and included in the safety, ITT, mITT and 
efficacy evaluable populations will be tabulated. The reasons for subject exclusions from the 
populations will also be tabulated. In addition, the numbers of subjects who were treated, 
discontinued and completed will be tabulated. 
Primary reasons for discontinuation of study treatment will be tabulated. 
8.1.6 
Study Participant Characteristics 
Descriptive summary statistics (n, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, 
maximum) or frequency counts of demographics including age categories 18-64 yrs and 65-
75 yrs and baseline data (medical history, concomitant medications, etc.) will be presented by 
overall for the safety population(s). 
8.1.7 
Statistical Evaluation of Safety 
Safety analyses and summary tables will be based on the safety population. Adverse events 
reported by investigators will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA 19 or higher Version). 
All safety data will be included in the subject data listings. Listings of AEs will be presented 
by subject, system organ class and preferred term as well as whether the AE occurred during 
up titration or after and the corresponding dose at the time of AE occurrence. 
All AEs and SAEs occurring during the Screening period will be reported;  
A TEAE is defined as any AE that occurs during the active phase of the study if:  
• 
it was not present prior to receiving the dose of BIM23B065, or 
• 
it was present prior to receiving the dose of BIM23B065 but the intensity increased 
during the active phase of the study. 
All TEAEs will be flagged in the AEs listings. The incidence of all reported TEAEs and SAEs 
as well as non SAEs will be tabulated. In addition, summary tables will be presented by 
maximum intensity, drug relationship and TEAEs associated with premature withdrawal of 
study medication. 
Concomitant medication will be coded by using the World Health Organisation (WHO) Drug 
Dictionary (December 2015 Version or higher) and will be summarised with the number and 
percentage of subjects receiving concomitant medication by drug class and preferred drug 
name. 
Summary statistics (mean, median, SD and range as appropriate) will be presented for vital 
signs (blood pressure and HR) and clinical laboratory tests at each assessment with change 
from Baseline. For laboratory data, abnormal values will be flagged in the data listings and a 
list of clinically significant abnormal values will be presented. For the ECG parameters, 
clinically significant findings will be listed. 
8.1.8 
Pharmacokinetic Analyses and Statistical Inference 
The PK data analysis will be performed independently by a CRO under the supervision of 
Ipsen’s Pharmacokinetics and Drug Metabolism (PDM) Department as described in Section 
7.3.4. 
Individual listings and summary tables of BIM23B065 concentrations will be provided. 
8.1.9 
Pharmacodynamics Analysis 
All PD data will be included in the subject data listings and summarised separately for the 
BID and TID regimen in the mITT set.  


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 56 of 78 
 
The following secondary response criteria will be defined on Day 7 and Day 14 based on the 
GH and IGF-1 profiles and their change from baseline: 
• 
Mean GH ≤ 1.0 µg/l  
• 
Mean GH ≤ 2.5 µg/l  
• 
Mean GH reduction from baseline ≥ 50% 
• 
Mean IGF-1 to <ULN (age normalised) 
For all secondary responses, the number and proportion of responders will be summarised 
over time by BIM23B065 actual dose level and overall.   
Individual profiles of GH, IGF-1 and PRL over time and their percent change from baseline 
will be summarised for each day separately in tabular and graphical formats. 
Individual profiles and % change from baseline in other PD parameters such as ACTH, 
Cortisol, LH, FSH, FT4 TSH and testosterone will be also be summarised. 
8.2 
Preliminary and/or Interim Analysis 
During each stage, interim and final analyses will occur after the number of subjects as 
presented in the table below complete their GH assessment on Day 14. The corresponding 
dosing arm (i.e. BID or TID) will be stopped for futility if the number of GH responders is not 
superior to the preset maxima, as defined in the Table 4.

If Stage 1 (BID) arm is stopped for futility, Stage 2 (TID) arm may be initiated, if warranted 
based on safety and tolerability. If final Stage 1 (BID) data show efficacy, Stage 2 will not be 
initiated. If Stage 2 arm is stopped for futility, the study will be terminated. 
The maximum threshold of 2 for the interim futility stop after 6 subjects and the threshold of 
3 after 8 subjects were determined based on the calculation of the predictive probability of 
failure at study end (6). Indeed, given the observed responders at interim time, we calculate 
the probability that the study will be a failure at the end of the stage, when 12 subjects will be 
available. Failure is when the lower bound for the Clopper-Pearson 90% confidence interval 
on GH responder rate does not exceed 33%. The distribution of responder rates for the 6 or 4 
subjects yet to be recruited after the interim analysis 1 and 2, respectively, was estimated 
using a beta-binomial distribution with probability equal to the observed responder rate in the 
interim set and beta prior with parameters (a=0.5, b=0.5). The predictive probability of failure 
was at least 95% at both interims. 
After 12 subjects, the threshold of 7 was set to the maximum number of responders so that the 
test would not be significant at the one-sided 5% level. 
Ongoing DRC are planned during the study. Data review will be documented in a 
data/medical review plan. See description of DRC in Section 12.3.

a start-up/initiation meeting for instructions on the completion/data entry of any source data 
documents and Case Report Forms. 
The Investigators or their designees must verify that all data entries in the eCRFs are accurate 
and correct.  If certain information is not available for a particular timepoint and/or subject, 
specific instructions should be followed, e.g. to document that the procedure was either not 
done (ND) or not applicable (NA). 
Every effort should be made to ensure that all safety evaluations are completed by the same 
individual who made the initial baseline determination. 
9.2 
Data Handling 
All or part of the data will be monitored at periodic visit to the study site, according to a 
monitoring plan.  All entries in the eCRFs, corrections and alterations are to be made by the 
responsible Investigator or his/her designee. 
Once monitored and cleaned, the paper-based data (either source or transcribed data) that 
have been selected for populating the database will follow a single entry process.  Electronic 
data will be directly entered in the database. 
Details of all data management procedures, from the initial planning to the archiving of final 
datasets / documents following database freeze/lock will be documented in appropriate data 
management and validation plan(s). Among others, these procedures will also describe quality 
control (QC) checks, data handling process for any missing, unused or spurious data, as well 
as coding procedures for AE’s, medical history, non drug therapy and medications. 
9.3 
Record Keeping 
The Investigator will keep records of all original source data.  This might include laboratory 
tests, medical records, and clinical notes. 
Depending on the data collected and the type(s) of data, records will be kept following 
storage, and archiving procedures agreed by the Sponsor/Investigator site involved in this 
study, and in accordance to any regulations that are applicable in the country(ies) where the 
study is conducted.

The study will be conducted in compliance with IECs/IRBs, informed consent regulations, the 
Declaration of Helsinki and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical 
Practice (GCP) Guidelines. Any episode of noncompliance will be documented. The 
Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system will comply with the Food and Drug Administration 
(FDA), 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records, Electronic Signatures, and FDA, Guidance for 
Industry: Computerized Systems Used in Clinical Trials. 
In addition, the study will adhere to all local regulatory requirements.  
10.1 
Subject Information Sheet and Consent 
The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that the subject understands the potential risks and 
benefits of participating in the study, including answering, orally and/or in writing, to any 
questions the subject may have throughout the study and sharing any new information that 
may be relevant to the subject’s willingness to continue his or her participation in the study in 
a timely manner. 
The subject information sheet and consent document will be used to explain the potential risks 
and benefits of study participation to the subject in simple terms before the subject is entered 
into the study, and to document that the subject is satisfied with his or her understanding of 
the study and desires to participate.   
The Investigator is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the EC-approved informed consent 
is appropriately signed and dated by each subject prior to the performance of any study 
procedures. Informed consent obtained under special circumstances may occur only if 
allowed by local laws and regulations. 
10.2

INSURANCE AND FINANCE 
11.1 
Insurance 
The Sponsor declares that it has taken out a product liability insurance covering all subjects 
screened and enrolled in this study in respect to risks involved in the study.  
11.2 
Financial Agreement 
Since this study is to be performed in partnership with a Contract Research Organisation (the 
CRO) in charge of project management and other CROs (third parties), separate financial 
agreements between the Sponsor and the CRO on one side, the CRO and third parties and the 
Investigator site(s) and the third party on the other side, will be signed prior to initiating the 
study, outlining overall Sponsor and Investigators responsibilities in relation to the study.

12 
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 
To ensure accurate, complete, and reliable data, the Sponsor or its representatives will provide 
instructional material to the study sites, as appropriate.  A start-up training session will be 
done prior to screening start to instruct the Investigators and investigational site staff.  This 
session will give instruction on the protocol, the completion of the eCRFs, and all study 
procedures. 
12.1 
Protocol Amendments and Protocol Deviations and Violations 
12.1.1 
Protocol Amendments 
No changes from the final approved (signed) protocol will be initiated without the prior 
written approval or favourable opinion of a written amendment by the IEC/IRB, except when 
necessary to eliminate immediate safety concerns to the subjects or when the change involves 
only logistics or administration. The principal Investigator and the Sponsor will sign the 
protocol amendment. 
12.1.2 
Protocol Deviations and Exceptions 
Protocol deviations are defined and classified either Major or Minor for a given study. Major 
deviations (or combination of minor becoming major) may impact or not the analysis 
Population. All minor and major protocol deviations will be identified and recorded by 
clinical unit personnel and should be traceable 
 
Major Protocol Deviation definition: 
Any changes in the study design, study conduct and/or procedures that are not in accordance 
with the protocol and any study materials originally approved by the IEC/IRB and which may 
affect the subject’s rights, safety or well-being, or the completeness, accuracy and reliability 
of the study data.  
Minor Protocol Deviation definition 
Any changes in the study design, study conduct and/or procedures that are not in accordance 
with the protocol and any study materials originally approved by the IEC/IRB but do not have 
a major impact on the subject’s rights, safety or well-being, or the completeness, accuracy and 
reliability of the study data. 
As a matter of policy, the Sponsor will not grant exceptions to protocol-specific entry criteria 
to allow subjects to enter a study. If under extraordinary circumstances such action is 
considered ethically, medically, and scientifically justified for a particular subject, prior 
approval from the Sponsor and the responsible IRB/IEC is required before the subject will be 
allowed to enter the study. 
If investigative clinical unit personnel learn that a subject who did not meet protocol 
eligibility criteria was entered in a study (Eligibility criteria deviation), they must immediately 
inform the Sponsor. Such subjects will be discontinued from the study treatment, except in an 
exceptional instance, following review and written approval by the Sponsor and the 
responsible IRB/IEC. 
12.1.3 
Information to Study Personnel 
The Investigator is responsible for giving information about the study to all staff members 
involved in the study or in any element of subject management, both before starting any study 
procedures and during the course of the study (e.g. when new staff become involved). 
The Investigator must assure that all study staff members are qualified by education, 
experience, and training to perform their specific responsibilities. These study staff members 


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 62 of 78 
 
must be listed on the clinical unit authorisation form, which includes a clear description of 
each staff member’s responsibilities. This list must be updated throughout the study, as 
necessary. 
The study monitor is responsible for explaining the protocol to all study staff, including the 
Investigator, and for ensuring their compliance with the protocol. Additional information will 
be made available during the study when new staff become involved in the study and as 
otherwise agreed upon with either the Investigator or the study monitor. 
12.2 
Monitoring 
The Investigator is responsible for the validity of all data collected at the site. 
The Sponsor is responsible for monitoring these data to verify that the rights and well-being 
of subjects are protected, study data are accurate (complete and verifiable to source data), and 
that the study is conducted in compliance with the protocol, GCP, and regulatory 
requirements. 
Before the study initiation visit, the Sponsor assigned CRO will write a monitoring plan 
indicating the monitoring procedures and at which occasions during the study monitoring 
visits will be performed. 
Periodic visits will be made to the study site throughout the study at mutually agreeable times.  
Any appropriate communication tools will be set up to ensure the Sponsor and/or its 
representative is/are available for consultation, so they can stay in contact with the study site 
personnel. 
Adequate time and space for monitoring visits should be made available by the Investigator. 
The Investigator will allow direct access to all relevant files (for all subjects) and clinical 
study supplies (dispensing and storage areas) for the purpose of verifying entries made in the 
eCRF, and assist with the monitor’s activities, if requested. 
Quality of the paper-based or electronic data will be reviewed to detect errors in data 
collection and, if necessary, to verify the quality of the data. 
The eCRF is expected to be completed an ongoing basis to allow regular review by the study 
monitor, both remotely by the internet and during site visits. The study monitor will use 
functions of the EDC system to address any queries raised while reviewing the data entered 
by the study site personnel in a timely manner. 
Whenever a subject’s personal data (e.g. name, address, phone…) is present on a document 
required by the Sponsor (e.g. laboratory print outs) these data must be blacked out 
permanently by the site personnel, leaving the date of birth visible (or only the year of birth 
depending on local regulation), and annotated with the subject number as identification. 
12.3 
Data Review Committee 
The DRC will be composed of the coordinating Investigator, the Sponsor drug safety 
physicians, the Sponsor medical director, the Sponsor clinical pharmacology representant and 
a statistician. Ad hoc members may be part of the DRC if required by the permanent 
members. A specific charter will be developed to define roles and responsibilities. Safety and 
efficacy data will be summarised and presented to the DRC. 
For both the BID and the TID cohorts and for the first 3 subjects, the DRC will review the 
first 7 days safety data including blood biochemistry, blood pressure and ECG data. Once the 
DRC has approved the study to continue, subjects may be enrolled at a rate of a maximum of 
3 subjects completing visit 3 per week. 
During each stage (i.e. BID and TID cohorts), DRC will meet for interim and final analyses 
after the 6, 8 and 12 subjects have completed their GH assessment on Day 14.  


 
CONFIDENTIAL – Protocol n°: D-FR-10380-002 v2.0  Date: 14-SEPTEMBER-2016 
Page 63 of 78 
 
Details of the DRC set up, membership, management and responsibilities will be provided in 
the DRC charter and archived in the TMF. 
12.4 
Investigator’s Regulatory Obligations 
All clinical work under this protocol will be conducted according to GCP rules.  This includes 
that the study may be audited at any time by a Quality Assurance (QA) personnel designated 
by the Sponsor, or by regulatory bodies. The Investigator must adhere to the GCP principles 
in addition to any applicable local regulations.   
If requested, the Investigator will provide the Sponsor, applicable regulatory agencies, and 
applicable Ethics Committee with direct access to any original source documents. 
The Investigator(s) should demonstrate due diligence in recruitment and screening of potential 
study subjects. The enrolment rate should be sufficient to complete the study as agreed with 
the Sponsor. The Sponsor should be notified of any projected delays, which may impact the 
completion of the study. 
12.4.1 
Audit and Inspection 
Authorised personnel from external CAs and the Sponsor’s authorised QA personnel may 
carry out inspections and audits. 
12.4.2 
Data Quality Assurance 
All data Monitored will be reviewed (secondary monitoring) for completeness, consistency, 
and protocol compliance by the assigned data management group. 
Reasons should be given in the relevant eCRF for any missing data and other protocol 
deviations. Any electronic queries and items not adequately explained will require additional 
electronic manual queries to be raised to the Investigator for clarification/correction. The 
investigator must ensure that queries are dealt with promptly. All data changes and 
clarifications can be viewed in the audit trail function of the eCRF.

Attachment 3 – Blood Sampling Summary 
This table summarises the maximum number of (veni) punctures and blood volumes for all 
blood sampling (screening, safety laboratories and bio-analytical assays) during the study.   
Fewer venipunctures and blood draws may actually occur if needed for safety purposes, but 
this will not require a protocol amendment.

Attachment 5 - Biobanking 
Biobanking involves the collection of blood samples. Blood samples will be collected only in 
subjects who have signed consent for the exploratory part, particularly for the biobank 
samples, during specific time points described in Section 15.1 (Attachment 1 – Study 
Schedule). One of the four blood samples will be centrifuged (serum sample); the three others 
will not be centrifuged (two blood samples in RNA PAXgene and one blood sample in DNA 
PAXgene tubes). The samples should be clearly and appropriately labelled with the following 
minimum information: study code, subject number, and visit name. 
The samples will be stored at -80°C at the site or a central laboratory. The samples will then 
be shipped regularly to the biobanking central laboratory, FISHER, on dry ice. Upon receipt 
of each shipment with samples, an acknowledgment of receipt made out by the contact person 
will be sent to the site or the central laboratory. The samples will then be stored at the 
biobanking central laboratory, FISHER, for future exploratory biomarker analysis. 
Samples will be stored for up to 15 years at the biobanking central laboratory, FISHER. After 
15 years of storage any remaining samples will be destroyed. Samples may be destroyed 
earlier if subjects withdraw consent from the biobanking programme. 
All the detailed procedures will be described in a separate laboratory manual.

STUDY METHODS 
 
6.1. 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
This is an open-label, non-randomised, multi-centre, adaptive two-stage phase II study. 
During Stage 1, up to 12 subjects will be enrolled to receive BIM23B065 BID for two 
weeks. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with GH ≤2.5 μg/l or >50% 
reduction from baseline GH on Day 14. The mean serum concentration of GH collected over 6 
hours will be used for the baseline (Day -1) and endpoint (Day 14) GH determination.  
Several sequential analyses will occur during Stage 1. The Stage 1 arm (BID 
administration) may be terminated early for futility during each of these interim analyses if 
the responder rate does not exceed the pre-determined minimum efficacy criteria. In that 
case, a Stage 2 arm will be initiated during which up to 12 subjects will be recruited to receive 
BIM23B065 three times a day (TID) for 14 days. The same sequential analysis and early 
termination rule for futility will apply during Stage 2 as for Stage 1. 
Any subjects who withdraw prior to the Day 14 end of treatment visit may be replaced 
except for early withdrawal due to safety and tolerability reasons. As soon as 12 subjects (out 
of which at least 8 are Octreotide responders as tested during the screening period) reach 
Visit 8, withdrawn subjects will not be replaced.  
Both the BID and TID regimen parts will consist of 3 periods (See Figure 1):  
• 
A screening period of 21 days maximum during which the eligibility criteria will be 
assessed. An Octreotide test will be also performed at the latest 7 days prior to first IMP 
administration. 
• 
A treatment period that will consist of twice or three times daily administrations of 
BIM23B065. This period will last for 14 days. The first 6 days will be a titration of 
BIM23B065 (0.4 mg/0.6 mg/0.8 mg BID or TID). Then a stable target dose (1.0 mg) of 
BIM23B065 will be BID or TID administered from Day 7 to Day 14.  
• 
If during the study, a subject experiences any safety or laboratory events (for detailed 
description see Table 1 of the Protocol), they may have their dose reduced to the prior 
dose. The minimum dose allowed for the treatment period is 0.6mg BID or TID. 
• 
If during the titration period, the subject experiences any cardiovascular events that 
meet the protocol determined criteria (for detailed description see Table2 of the 
Protocol), they must remain on their current dose and not be dose escalated.

Interim Analysis  
During Stage 1, two interim analyses are planned after 6 and 8 subjects complete the Day 14 
GH assessment. The DRC will meet and review the number of GH responders on Day 14 (i.e. a 
GH responder is defined as a subject with GH ≤2.5μg/l or with at least 50% reduction from 
baseline GH after 6-day titration plus 8-day treatment with BIM23B065 measured by mean 
serum concentration of GH over 6 hours at Day 14) as well as the safety and tolerability data 
defined in the DRC charter.  
Based on the safety and efficacy data of these subjects, the DRC will decide if the BID cohort 
may be continued or stopped, and if stopped, if a TID cohort (Stage 2) may be initiated, 
according to the following criteria (please see  
Figure 2 below).  
• 
If there are less than 3 out of 6 (3/6) responders then the BID regimen (Stage 1) will be 
stopped for futility and Stage 2 will be initiated, where new enrolled subjects will follow 
the TID administration part (Option 1 in  
• 
Figure 2). 
If there is at least 3/6 responders, then the Stage 1 will continue: the next 2 subjects will follow 
the BID administration part and DRC will review the safety and efficacy data once 8 evaluable 
subjects will have completed Stage 1. 
• 
If there are less than 4 responders (out of 8 subjects) then the BID regimen (Stage 1) 
will be stopped for futility and Stage 2 will be initiated, where new enrolled subjects will 
follow the TID administration part (Option 2 in  
• 
Figure 2). 
If there are at least 4 responders (out of 8 subjects), then the Stage 1 will continue: the next 4 
subjects will follow the BID administration part and DRC will review the safety and efficacy 
data once 12 subjects will have completed Stage 1. 
• 
If there are less than 8 responders (out of 12 subjects) then the Stage 2 will be initiated, 
where new enrolled subjects will follow the TID administration part (Option 3 in  
• 
Figure 2). 
If there are at least 8/12 responders, then no new subjects will be enrolled into the BID 
administration part, no TID administration part will be conducted and the study will be 
stopped as the primay objective is met with the BID regimen. 
At any time during Stage 1 if at least 3 subjects experienced at least one dose limiting 
toxicity (DLT) (the definition of DLT can be found in the study protocol Table 3.) then the DRC 
will stop the recruitment and no TID administration part will be conducted. 
During Stage 2, two interim analyses are planned after the first 6 and 8 subjects will 
have completed the GH Day 14 assessment. The DRC will review safety and efficacy data of 
these subjects in order to decide if the trial may be stopped early for futility or not (please see 
Figure  below).

Monthly blood pressure and 12-lead ECG report 
On the second week of each month a report will be created presenting the blood pressure 
and ECG parameters for all subjects enrolled until the beginning of the month.  
Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate will be listed with visit 
days and time-points. The time-matched change from baseline (the same time-point on Day 
-1) will be calculated, and listed. Descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum and 
maximum) will be provided for the scheduled values and changes from baseline at each time 
point. 
ECG parameters (RR interval, PR/PQ interval, QRS interval, QT interval, QTc interval 
(calculated according to the Fridericia method), and HR) will be listed at each visit and time 
point, along with their change from the time-matched baseline of Day-1. Descriptive statistics 
will be provided about the measured values and the calculated change of baseline.

Final Analyses 
The study can be discontinued prematurely at any time if the Sponsor judges it for any 
appropriate reason, and for safety reasons, patients will not be dosed further.  
In the final analyses all data will be listed for the BID (Stage 1) and TID (Stage 2) treatment 
regimen separately and summary tables will be created including the results of both stages. 
 
8. 
SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION 
 
A sufficient number of subject will be enrolled so that there is a maximum of 24 evaluable 
subjects for the primary analysis (12 per stage). Enrolled subjects who drop out of the study 
prior to Day 14 GH evaluation may be replaced so that 12 are evaluable per Stage. 
(Replacement strategy is detailed in Section 10.1.). 
A minimum of 8 of the 12 evaluable subjects must be responsive to a single test dose 
of octreotide pre-study defined as a >50% reduction in GH. 
Per the primary endpoint, a subject is defined as a responder if the mean concentration 
of GH over 6 hours is ≤2.5μg/l or if there is at least 50% reduction from mean baseline in GH 
at Day 14 (after 6 days titration plus 8 days treatment).  
Based on the exact test for single proportion, twelve evaluable subjects per stage would 
be sufficient to have over 84% power, at a significance level of 0.05 (one sided) to reject the 
null hypothesis that there is no indication of efficacy of BIM23B065 if the GH responder rate 
is at most 33%, assuming that the GH responder rate is equal to 75%.

GENERAL ISSUES FOR STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 
 
10.1. 
Definition of Treatment Arms 
It is a single-arm study, all subjects will receive the same IMP, BIM23B065. Patients with the 
different dosing regimens (BID and TID) will be presented as “BID” and “TID” subjects. 
10.2. 
Definition of Baseline 
Most baseline assessments will be performed on Day -1 (Visit 3) with some exceptions. In 
case the data of the planned baseline assessment is not available, the last assessment which 
precedes the first administration of the IMP will be used as a baseline. 


Protocol code: D-FR-10380-002

x For the GH and PRL calculations the mean serum concentration will be used as 
baseline, collected over 6 hours on the Day -1. The baseline IGF-1 will be measured on 
Day -1.  
x For antibodies anti-BIM23B065 the baseline will be the serum concentration taken 
prior to octreotide test dose, on V2. 
x For other laboratory assessments (all endocrine and clinical laboratory assessments, 
parameters of glucose metabolism etc.) baseline will be the measurement of Day -1. 
At the parameters of glucose metabolism more baseline values will be used in 
accordance to the fasting condition or the relative time from meals (the fasting 
condition on Day -1 will be compared with the fasting condition of the studied day, 
while the assessment one hour after meal will be compared to the baseline (Day -1) 
one hour after meal measurement etc.). 
x For BP and HR, orthostatic hypotonia, and ECG, the baseline will be the corresponding 
measurements on Day -1 at the same time points (i.e. time-matched). For Holter the 
baseline will be the assessment on Day -1. 
x For gallbladder echography, the baseline will be the assessment during the screening 
period. 
x For other results of the physical examination (body weight, body temperature etc.) the 
D-1 assessments will be the baseline. 
 
10.3. 
Definition of Visit Windows 
There will be two stages. During Stage 1, the subjects will be enrolled to receive BIM23B065 
BID, and during Stage 2, TID. 
Both the BID and TID regimen parts will consist of 3 periods: screening, treatment, and follow 
up. 
Screening period will start on the date of signing the informed consent and ends on 
the Day -1, the day preceding the first dose of IMP on Day 1. Treatment phase will start on 
Day 1 and ends with the Visit 8. Follow up phase starts on the following day of the Visit 8 and 
ends with the End of Study/Early Discontinuation visit.  
Throughout the study 9 visits are planned (please see Study Schedule of Events in the 
Protocol). During the analysis visits will not be re-defined, eCRF visits will be used. Visits will 
be presented with the following labels: SCR (screening) D-1 (first day of Visit 3, pre-dose day), 
D1 – D14 (Day 1 is the first dosing day), EOS (End of Study day), ED (Early Discontinuation).   
10.4. 
Multicentre Study 
This is a multicentre study planned to be conducted in multiple centres from approximately 6 
countries. No subgroup analyses are planned by country, the data of the sites will be pooled.

10.5. 
Planned Subgroup Analyses 
Two age categories will be defined: subjects with 18-64 years age at baseline, and subjects 
with 65-75 years age at baseline. Descriptive statistics for the disposition, demographics, 
baseline characteristics, AE, primary and secondary endpoints will be prepared by age 
category and by octreotide responder category (responders/non responders).  
10.6. 
Analysis Software 
All analysis will be performed using SAS® Software version 9.3 or above.  
10.7. 
Derived and Computed Variables 
The following derived and computed variables have been initially identified. It is expected that 
additional variables could be required. The SAP will not be amended for additional variables 
unless they are directly related to the primary endpoint or key secondary efficacy variables. 
Any additional derived or computed variables will be identified and documented in the ADaM 
requirement documentation and/or in the footnotes of the outputs, where appropriate.

As a general rule mean will be calculated by summarizing the available valid (non-missing) 
measurements and divided by the number of measurements. Percent change from baseline 
will be calculated according to the following: [1- (present value/baseline value)] x 100. 
10.1. Methods for Missing Data  
A subject is considered evaluable if he or she completes the 14-day treatment period (with 6 
hours GH samples collected). Subjects who withdraw from the study before reaching the point 
of being evaluable may be replaced. If the withdrawal is due to safety and tolerability reasons 
no replacement will be performed, but otherwise the subject will be replaced. If 12 evaluable 
subjects have already completed visit 8 (day 14) any subsequent withdrawn subjects will not 
be replaced. 
A minimum of 8 octreotide responders must be evaluable in the final analysis. If an 
octreotide responder withdraws prematurely, he/she will be replaced by another octreotide 
responder. If an octreotide non-responder withdraws, they can be replaced by either a 
responder or non-responder. 
No substitution of missing values will be performed, an observed case approach will 
be used.  
In all listings, missing or incomplete dates will be left as they have been recorded. 
However, for calculation / sorting / assignation based on dates, the following methods will be 
used: 
x The most conservative approach will be systematically considered. For example, if 
the onset date of an AE/concomitant medication is missing / incomplete, it is 
assumed to have occurred during the study treatment phase (i.e. a TEAE for AEs) 
except if the partial onset date or other data (e.g. stop date) indicates differently. 
x A missing/incomplete date of medical history or disease diagnosis will be assumed 
to have occurred before any study treatment. 
Where this is possible, the derivations based on a partial date will be presented as superior 
inequalities (i.e.: for an AE started in FEB2004 after the  administration performed on

31JAN2004, the days since last dose will be “≥2”, similarly the duration of ongoing AEs or 
medication will be“≥xx” according to the start and last visit dates). 
If the severity or the relationship to the IMP is not available for an AE it will be marked 
as ‘unknown’.

STUDY SUBJECTS 
 
Information on subjects of Stage BID and Stage TID will be presented in separately in lists and 
in the same tables. 
11.1. 
Disposition of Subjects and Withdrawals 
Disposition data will be listed for all subjects who entered this study.  
A frequency table will be created displaying disposition of patients including:

EFFICACY ANALYSIS 
 
13.1. 
Primary Efficacy Variable Analyses 
The primary efficacy variable is the percentage of subjects who are GH responders on Day 14. 
GH response is defined as having a mean GH ≤ 2.5 μg/l at Visit 8 (Day 14, after 6-day titration 
plus 8-day treatment with BIM23B065) or at least a 50% reduction in the mean GH change 
from baseline on Day 14. The mean serum concentration of GH is calculated at baseline and 
on Day14 from the non-missing serum concentrations of GH recorded over 6 hours on these 
days. The number and proportion (%) of GH responders will be reported with its 90% 
confidence interval calculated using the exact Clopper-Pearson method. The null hypothesis 
that the GH responder rate is not clinically relevant (i.e. <=33%) will be tested at the one-sided 
5% significance level. The exact p-value will be reported. The test will be rejected if the lower 
90% confidence limit is larger than 33%. Primary efficacy analysis will be based on the Efficacy 
Evaluable population. 
13.1.1. Sensitivity and Supportive Analyses for the Primary Efficacy Variable 
The primary efficacy analysis will be repeated on the Per Protocol Population, if the 
populations are different. 
13.1.2. Subgroup Analyses 
The number and proportion (%) of GH responders will be presented by age categories and by 
octreotide responders/non-responders. Confidence intervals will only be calculated for 
subgroups where the sample size N>2. 
13.2. 
Secondary Efficacy Variable Analysis 
The secondary efficacy endpoint analyses will be based on the Efficacy Evaluable and on the 
Per Protocol population.

DEPARTURES FROM THE ANALYSIS PLANNED IN THE PROTOCOL  
 
As a per protocol secondary endpoint the efficacy of BIM23B065 in reducing IGF-1 to <ULN 
(age normalized) will be assessed after 6 day-titration and 8-day treatment period at Day 14. 
A minor change will be implemented in SAP in the IGF-1 profile assessment, since it won’t be 
assessed on Day 7. As a secondary response criteria IGF-1 profiles will be defined on Day 14 
to be in accordance with the per protocol determined endpoints and with the collected 
laboratory data determined in the Study Schedule of Events.
