Brief summary:
The purposes of this study are:

* To further examine the efficacy and safety of Tenoten® in the treatment of anxiety in patients with somatoform, stress-related and other neurotic disorders.
* To compare the efficacy of two dosing regimens of Tenoten® (4 tablets daily vs.8 tablets daily, both for 12 weeks) in the treatment of anxiety in patients with somatoform, stress-related and other neurotic disorders.

Detailed description:
Design: an international, a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel group placebo-controlled trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of study treatment.

The study will enroll outpatient subjects of both genders aged 18-45 years with verified diagnoses of somatoform, stress-related and other neurotic disorders (F43, F45, F48) and signs of clinically relevant anxiety according to The Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS).

After signing the informed consent form to participate in the clinical study the subject will be interviewed (complaints, medical history, concomitant therapy) and objective examination will be performed; the subject will fill HADS scale. The severity of anxiety at screening should be ≥ 11 according to HADS. If the subject meets inclusion criteria and has no exclusion criteria he/she will be enrolled into the study. The investigator will determine the severity of anxiety using НАМ-А scale; the subject will fill EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. At Visit 1 (Day 1) the subject will be randomized into one of the treatment groups:

* Group 1: Tenoten® at 2 tablets twice daily (4 tablets/day);
* Group 2: Placebo at 2 tablets twice daily (4 tablets/day);
* Group 3: Tenoten® at 2 tablets 4 daily (8 tablets/day).
* Group 4: Placebo at 2 tablets 4 daily (8 tablets/day). The first dose should be administered at Visit 1 after the visit procedures are completed. Further administration of the study product will be made according to the dosing scheme. The subject will administer the study product and will be followed for 12 weeks during which additional three visits will be made. At Visit 2 (Week 4), Visit 3 (Week 8) and Visit 4 (Week 12) the physician will record patients' complaints and physical examination data, fill HAM-A scale, check the study and concomitant therapy, assess treatment safety and patient compliance with the study treatment. At the final Visit 4 the subject will fill EQ-5D-3L questionnaire and the investigator will fill the Clinical Global Impression Scale Efficacy Index (CGI-EI).

Subjects will be allowed to take symptomatic therapy and medications for their co-morbidities during the study, except for the medicines listed in "Prohibited therapy".

Evaluation of sample size 
The sample size was assessed in accordance with the following rules and assumptions: 
1. Statistical assumptions 
1.1 the power of statistical tests 'P = (1 − β)' is 80% (the probability of correct rejection of 
the null hypothesis is 0.8) 
1.2 the probability of type 1 error 'a' is less that 5% (the probability of false acceptance of 
the alternative hypothesis is less than 0.05); 
1.3 statistical criteria of intergroup comparisons will be two-sided, equivalence criterion - 
one-sided;  
1.4 calculation of sample size will be based on the assumptions on the expected effect 
declared in the primary efficacy criterion of the protocol; 
1.5 ratio between sample sizes of Tenoten and Placebo groups receiving similar dosing 
schemes will be 2:1 (1 Placebo patient - 2 Tenoten patients); 
1.6 statistical analysis will utilize pooled Placebo group including Placebo with dosing 
scheme 2 tablets 2 times and Placebo group with dosing scheme 4 tablets 2 times a day, 
as the differences between Placebo groups with different dosing schemes are not 
suggested; 
1.7 the study is supposed to use three groups of statistical hypotheses; for this purpose 
probability of type I error α will be corrected by introducing the relevant correction for 
three hypotheses (α=0.05/3); 
1.8 statistical hypotheses will be as follows:  
1.8.1. null and alternative hypotheses on superiority of the study product with dosing 
scheme 2 tablets 2 times a day: 
H0: Δµт1=Δµп 
Ha: Δµт1≠Δµп, 
where Δµт1 – mean reduction (initial – final score) of HAM-A total score in 
Tenoten group with dosing scheme 2 tablets 2 times a day, Δµп – mean 
reduction (initial – final score) of HAM-A total score in Placebo group; 
1.8.2. null and alternative hypotheses on superiority of the study product with dosing 
scheme 4 tablets 2 times a day: 
H0: Δµт2=Δµп

Ha: Δµт2≠Δµп, 
where Δµт2 – mean reduction (initial – final score) of HAM-A total score in 
Tenoten group with dosing scheme 4 tablets 2 times a day, Δµп – mean 
reduction (initial – final score) of HAM-A total score in Placebo group; 
1.8.3. null and alternative hypotheses on equivalence of the study product with dosing 
scheme 2 tablets 2 times a day with the study product with dosing scheme 4 
tablets 2 times a day: 
H0: |Δµт1 - Δµт2| ≥ δ 
Ha: |Δµт1 - Δµт2| < δ, 
where µт1 – mean reduction (initial – final score) of HAM-A total score in 
Tenoten group with dosing scheme 2 tablets 2 times a day, µт2 – mean reduction 
(initial – final score) of HAM-A total score in Tenoten group with dosing 
scheme 4 tablets 2 times a day, δ – equivalence margin accepted as 0.15*M 
where M – mean total population score at baseline; 
1.9 calculation of sample size for statistical criteria will be made using the group of 
formulas:  
1.9.1. calculation of sample size to evaluate superiority of the study product over 
placebo: 
, 
where n1, n2 is sample size for the study product group; ε – expected difference 
in mean reduction of the total score between Placebo and Tenoten groups; ϭ – 
standard deviation of mean reduction of the total score (calculated as standard 
deviation of difference between two uncorrelated random variables); zα/2 – 
tabular value of two-sided z-test for α value; zβ – tabular value of one-sided z-
test for β value; 
1.9.2. calculation of sample size for equivalence evaluation: 
, 
where n1, n2 is sample size for the study product group; ε – expected difference 
in mean reduction of the total score between Tenoten with dosing scheme 2 
tablets 2 times a day and Tenoten with dosing scheme 4 tablets 2 times a day; ϭ 
– standard deviation of mean reduction of the total score (calculated as standard

deviation of the difference between two uncorrelated random variables); zα – 
tabular value of z-test for α value; zβ – tabular value of z-test for β value, δ – 
equivalence margin accepted as 0.15*M where M – mean total population score 
at baseline;  
1.10 sample size will be determined using the formula:  
NPP=max{ ni, all pairs of interest (i)},  
where NPP – Per Protocol sample size; ni – result of calculation in cl. 1.6, i.e. the result 
for each of the three study hypotheses; 
1.11 final sample size will be determined using the formula:  
NT=NPP/(1-Cw),  
where NT – final sample size; NPP – result of calculation in cl. 1.7, i.e. the scheduled 
number of the subjects completing the study per protocol; Cw – withdrawal coefficient. 
2. Assumptions on expected clinical study effects: 
Mean HAM-A total score at 12 weeks of therapy in Tenoten groups with both dosing 
schemes is expected to reduced by at least 10 units, in Placebo - by no more than 6 units 
(difference – at least 4 points). Population variance for total score change was ϭ2=44 (based 
on preliminary analysis). 
HAM-A mean score changes after 12 weeks in Tenoten groups for both dosing schemes are 
expected to differ by less than 3 points. Population variance was accepted as ϭ2=44 (based on 
preliminary analysis). 
According to the statistical criteria and the assumptions above, for evaluation of differences in 
various dosing schemes, group size will be 103 subjects for Tenoten group (each dosing scheme) 
and 52 subjects for Placebo group (each dosing scheme). To evaluate superiority of the study 
product over placebo at different dosing schemes the group size will be 58 subjects for Tenoten 
group (each dosing scheme) and 26 subjects for Placebo group (each dosing scheme). The final 
sample size will be 103 subjects for Tenoten groups (each dosing scheme) and 52 subjects for 
Placebo group (each dosing scheme). 
Given potential withdrawal of at least 20% subjects during the study for various reasons, at least 
390 subjects will be required to sign informed consent.  
Statistical criteria  
All statistical calculations will be made using two groups of statistical criteria:  
 
parametric - to evaluate continuous and interval random values;  
 
nonparametric – to obtain: 
 evaluations of equality/inequality of proportions of the subjects upon their comparison 
for various visits,

 analysis of frequencies of the features compared, 
and 
 evaluation of continuous and interval random values in case of non-compliance with 
normal random distribution. 
Parametric criteria 
Prior to analysis using parametric statistics, data samples under comparison will be tested for 
normality (the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test). Data normalizing transformations (e.g. Box-Cox, 
Yeo-Johnson etc.) would be applied if necessary. 
The following parameters and approaches are to be used: 
1. To evaluate the differences in continuous variables obtained in one group at two different 
visits – Student’s test for matched samples. 
2. To evaluate time changes in parameters compared - analysis of variance (ANOVA) or 
modified repeated measures covariance (ANCOVA).  
3. In case of multiple comparisons of the groups various corrections for multiplicity will be 
used, e.g. Dunnett, Tukey, Scheffe, Holm adapted test, etc.  
4. Generalized Linear Models and/or Mixed Linear Models will be used in case of abnormal 
data distribution.  
5. Selection of the type of distribution, specification of factor and covariance structures of the 
model will be made using fit-statistics such as AIC (Akaike information criterion). 
The following SAS software programs are supposed to be applied to the above listed tests and 
techniques:  
 UNIVARIATE: normality verification of the distributions under comparison; 
 CORR, MEANS - calculation of descriptive statistics 
 TTEST – Student’s test with all modifications;  
 GLM – generalized linear models for analysis of time changes (ANOVA, ANCOVA); 
 GENMOD – generalized linear models. 
 MIXED – mixed linear models. 
Non-parametric criteria 
Below are potential types of comparisons with relevant criteria: 
1. To evaluate time changes in the parameters compared – Friedman test, nonparametric 
analogue of repeated measures analysis of variance. 
2. For frequency analysis of contingency tables 2×2 – χ2 (if the frequency under comparison > 
5) or exact Fisher’s test (if one of the frequencies under comparison < 5).  
3. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test (modified χ2 test for multiple comparisons) – to perform 
frequency analysis based on independent strata.

4. For frequency analysis of data on presence/absence of an event or outcome during repeated 
measurements (contingency tables with dependent strata) – survival analysis.  
To perform the above-mentioned nonparametric statistical analysis the following SAS 
procedures are to be used:  
 FREQ – Friedman test, χ2 test and/or exact Fisher’s test; Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test. 
 LIFETEST – survival analysis.  
 NPAR1WAY - Mann-Whitney test. 
Safety parameters  
Adverse events recorded during the study will be grouped into frequency tables by severity, 
seriousness and relationship with the study drug. 
Data presentation 
Descriptive statistics will be provided for each study continuous / interval variable. Numerical 
data will be presented by mean, standard deviation, min and max values. Comparisons 
suggesting statistical conclusion will have the relevant confidence intervals. Outliers will be 
analyzed individually. The data will be grouped by visits. The categorical variables will be 
presented as frequency tables by visits.
