Clinical trial NCT03608371
Conditions: Parkinson Disease Motor Disorder
Sponsor: BlackThorn Therapeutics, Inc.
Start date: 2018-08-31; Completion date: 2019-04-23
Enrollment: 24 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: SEQUENTIAL

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of BTRX-246040 in participants with Parkinson's Disease who have motor fluctuations and predictable early morning off periods.

Detailed description:
Study treatment is 1 day and total duration of the study is up to 36 days, including an approximate 28-day screening period. The study consists of 3 sequential, ascending dose cohorts of 8 participants each with a 6:2 randomization to BTRX-246040 or placebo. The planned dosing for each cohort is 40, 80, and 120 mg. After enrollment of the first cohort is completed, doses for subsequent cohorts may be modified based on review of the available data (safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics) by an unblinded Dosing Review Committee (DRC). A similar review and determination of dosing for the subsequent cohort is to be performed after completion of each cohort and based on all data available from previous cohorts.

Participants who meet entry criteria assessed at the screening visit (up to 28 days prior to Day 1) present to the clinic on the morning of Day 1 (treatment day) in the practically defined OFF state (having withheld anti-parkinsonian medications after 10:00 PM the evening prior). Participants are to be dosed with study drug and remain on site for an 8-hour observation period with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part III motor response, dyskinesia rating and ON/OFF status assessed pre-dose, every 30 minutes for 4 hours post-dose, and then hourly for 4 additional post-dose hours (i.e., 8 hours total post-dose) prior to being discharged. Blood for pharmacokinetics are to be collected 6 times at scheduled intervals within the 8-hour observation period. A follow-up safety visit is scheduled 7 days later.

Arms: arm 1: BTRX-246040 40 mg administered orally arm 2: BTRX-246040 80 mg administered orally arm 3: BTRX-246040 120 mg administered orally arm 4: Placebo is administered orally at the same number of capsules as active drug in each Cohort. Placebo capsules consist of inactive ingredients and look identical to BTRX-246040.
Interventions: intervention 1: BTRX-246040 intervention 2: Placebo

4 INTRODUCTION 
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative motor disorder caused by the loss 
of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. The primary motor symptoms of PD are tremor, 
rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. Disabling non-motor symptoms of PD include 
depression, cognitive dysfunction, sleep disturbances, hallucinations, impulse control disorder 
and constipation. The pathogenesis of idiopathic PD is marked by the abnormal presence of 
Lewy bodies in the brain and the loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta 
(SNpc). Additional dysfunction in glutamate, GABA and acetylcholinergic signaling in 
corticothalamic motor circuits contribute to motor and non-motor symptoms in PD (DeLau & 
Breteler, 2006), (Galvan & Wichmann, 2008), (Moustafa & Poletti, 2013), (Tysnes & Storstein, 
2017). 
The standard of care for PD patients invariably centers on dopamine replacement 
pharmacotherapy, including L-DOPA, dopamine receptor agonists and modulators of dopamine 
synthesis and metabolism. Drugs that attenuate acetylcholinergic neurotransmission or that block 
the glutamate NMDA receptor are also approved for the treatment of PD motor symptoms. 
Medications for PD motor symptoms are frequently used in strategic combinations to exploit 
additive or synergistic therapeutic effects and to better manage motor symptom complications, 
e.g., L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias. Patients with poorly managed motor complications may be 
candidates for deep brain stimulation therapy (Delong & Wichmann, 2015). 
Nociceptin/orphanin-FQ (N/OFQ) is an endogenous neuropeptide that selectively activates the 
nociceptin receptor (NOPR). N/OFQ levels in cerebrospinal fluid are elevated in PD patients 
and, in post-mortem brains from PD patients, increased in the SN and decreased in dopamine-
depleted striatum samples. In rodents, N/OFQ increases glutamate release from SN pars 
reticulata neurons but inhibits activity and dopamine release from SNpc neurons and behavioral 
motor activity. In contrast, pharmacological blockade of NOPR, which are expressed in brain 
regions underlying locomotor behavior and reward processing, attenuates Parkinsonian-like 
disability in rodent and non-human primate models of PD (Viaro, et al., 2008), (Visanji, et al., 
2008), (Marti, et al., 2013). Moreover, NOPR antagonists reduce neurodegeneration of dopamine 
neurons and stimulate dopamine release in the substantia nigra, suggesting potential disease-
modifying mechanisms of action for anti-Parkinsonian therapeutic efficacy (Marti, et al., 2004), 
(Marti, et al., 2005).  
BTRX-246040 is a novel, potent and selective antagonist of human NOPR.

Study NEP-MDD-201 evaluated the efficacy and safety of BTRX-246040 in subjects with major 
depressive disorder (MDD). This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group 
study compared single-daily dosing of BTRX-246040 vs. placebo administered over 8 weeks. 
After screening, eligible subjects were randomized to either 40 mg of BTRX-246040 or placebo. 
After one week the BTRX-246040 dose was increased to 80 mg and allowed to be down-titrated 
to 40 mg at the next visit for tolerability. At the end of the treatment period investigational 
product is abruptly discontinued. One subject assigned to the placebo group had an SAE 
(Preferred Term: rhabdomyolysis). No deaths were reported. 
More information about the known and expected benefits, risks and reasonably anticipated AEs 
may be found in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB).

6 INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
6.1 SUMMARY OF STUDY DESIGN 
The study will consist of 3 sequential, ascending dose cohorts of 8 subjects each with a 6:2 
randomization to BTRX-246040 or placebo. The planned dosing for each cohort will be 40, 80, 
and 120 mg. After enrollment of the first cohort has been completed, doses for subsequent 
cohorts may be modified based on review of the available data (safety, tolerability, efficacy, and 
PK) by an unblinded Dosing Review Committee (DRC). A similar review and determination of 
dosing for the subsequent cohort will be performed after completion of cohorts 1 and 2 and based 
on all data available from previous cohorts.  
Following screening and acceptance by an Enrollment Authorization Committee, subjects in 
each cohort who meet entry criteria and sign an IRB approved informed consent, will present to 
the clinic on the morning of Day 1 in the practically defined OFF state (having withheld anti-
parkinsonian medications after 10:00 PM the evening prior). Prior to dosing on Day 1, subjects 
will be randomized to either placebo or BTRX-246040. Subjects will then be dosed with study 
drug and UPDRS Part III motor response, dyskinesia and ON/OFF status will be assessed pre-
dose and every 30 minutes for 4 hours and then hourly for 4 additional hours (i.e., 8 hours total 
post-dose).  Subjects who turn ON following study drug administration and remain ON after 8 
hours, should be called the next morning to record the time they turned OFF and the time they 
took their first regularly scheduled anti-parkinsonian medications after study drug, to a 
maximum of 24 hours. Subjects who turn ON following study drug administration and 
subsequently turn OFF may be administered their regularly scheduled levodopa dose and other 
anti-parkinsonian medications.  
 Subjects who 
reach and remain in the ON state for 8 hours may resume their regularly scheduled anti-
parkinsonian medications 8 hours post-dosing. Subjects should remain on study drug until they 
experience an OFF episode after a full ON for 8 hours. However, if after 4 hours post study drug 
dosing, a subject’s motor symptoms are severe and not responsive to study drug, the subject’s 
regularly scheduled levodopa dose and other anti-parkinsonian medications may be 
administered, if deemed necessary based on the judgment of the investigator. All subjects, 
whether they are administered their regularly scheduled anti-parkinson medication or not will 
continue with study procedures until the end of the observation period of 8 hours.  
Subjects will come to clinic in a fasted state and will be administered a standard low protein 
breakfast. 
Orthostatic vital signs will be assessed pre-dose and 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after dosing.   
Subjects will return to the clinic 7 days later (Day 8) for a follow-up safety visit.

Following completion of cohorts 1 and 2, a Dosing Review Committee (DRC) meeting will take 
place to review available unblinded safety, tolerability, efficacy and, if available, PK data and 
determine if it is safe to go up to the next higher dosage for the next cohort. At any point the 
DRC can request that a dosage be repeated.   
6.2 STUDY DESIGN AND CONTROL 
The initial screening period is designed to ensure subjects meet the required inclusion and 
exclusion criteria, including diagnosis and stability of depressive symptoms and absence of 
psychiatric and medical conditions that would preclude study participation.  
The randomization, investigational product blinding, and placebo controls will serve to minimize 
the chance of bias in the implementation and execution of the study. Randomization to treatment 
assignment reduces the likelihood that results will reflect selection bias. Having both 
Investigators and subjects blinded to treatment assignment (double-blind) controls for 
expectation bias relative to any particular treatment condition. A placebo arm is included to 
control the subject and Investigator expectations of improvement during the study that could 
confound interpretation of pharmacological effects of treatment.

7.2.1 RATIONALE FOR EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN SUBJECTS 
The exclusion criteria in section 7.2 are intended to ensure that subjects with conditions that 
could be exacerbated by participation in the study are excluded, and that subjects with conditions 
that could confound the interpretation of efficacy or safety results are excluded. No subject is to 
be excluded on the basis of race, ethnicity, or gender.  
Every effort should be made to encourage subjects who discontinue from the study early to 
complete all of the Day 8 visit procedures.  
7.3 DISCONTINUATIONS 
7.3.1 EARLY DISCONTINUATION  
Every effort should be made to encourage subjects who discontinue from the study early to 
complete all of the Day 8 visit procedures.  
If early discontinuation occurs, all appropriate reasons will be reported on the study completion 
CRF. Reasons for early disconuation are listed below. 
1. Physician Decision 
a. The Investigator/physician decides that the subject should be withdrawn from the 
study for any reason. 
2. Withdrawal by Subject 
a. The subject requests to be withdrawn from the study for any reason. If the reason 
to request withdrawal is an adverse event, this should be documented as the 
primary reason for discontinuation. 
3. Study Terminated by Sponsor 
a. The Sponsor stops the study for medical, safety, regulatory, or other reasons 
consistent with applicable laws, regulations and good clinical practice (GCP). 
4. Adverse Event 
a. Discontinuation should be considered by the Investigator after consultation with 
the Sponsor or its Medical Monitor designee when a subject has the following 
abnormal liver tests: 
i. ALT or AST > 8 x ULN 
ii. ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and total bilirubin level > 2 x ULN 
iii. ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and prothrombin time > 1.5 x ULN

b. If the subject is thought to be at risk of harm to him/herself or others at any time 
during the study, a further psychiatric assessment by the Investigator must be 
conducted. Subjects must be discontinued from study participation if they:  
i. are assessed as homicidal 
ii. are actively suicidal (any suicidal ideation with intent or specific plan or 
any suicide attempt) 
iii. are at serious suicidal risk as assessed by the C-SSRS (score of “YES” on 
item 4 or 5) 
The Investigator must assure that these subjects receive the appropriate psychiatric 
care and follow-up. 
c. Any subject who is discontinued from investigational product due to AEs or 
clinically significant laboratory abnormalities will be followed until resolution or 
clinical stabilization. 
d. The Investigator remains responsible for following, through an appropriate 
healthcare option, AEs that caused the subject to discontinue study drug. 
5. Lost to Follow-Up 
a. For subjects who are lost to follow-up, all steps performed to contact them (dates of 
telephone calls, registered letters, etc.) will be reported in the source documents. The 
Investigators are required to make at least two attempts to contact the subject for a 
follow-up safety visit.  
6. Other 
a. Any reason other than Physician Decision, Withdrawal by Subject, Study 
Terminated by Sponsor, Adverse Event, or Lost to Follow-up.

8 STUDY PROCEDURES  
8.1 VISIT 1: SCREENING  
The total time for the screening period will be 28 days. Screening procedures may require more 
than one visit to complete. 
Before any screening procedure is performed, subject informed consent must be obtained. After 
obtaining the subject’s informed consent, the following procedures will be conducted - see 
schedule of Assessments (Appendix 1). The following order of procedures is recommended to 
prioritize eligibility and safety assessments: 
The Investigator (or his or her designee) will conduct/administer the following assessments:  
1. Collection of demographic data 
2. Collection of medical history, including PD history 
3. Physical and neurological examination 
4. Collection of concomitant medications 
5. Vital signs (BP and pulse both supine and standing, respiratory rate, temperature), height 
and weight 
6. Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) – Baseline/Screening version 
7. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) 
8. Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) 
9. Questionnaire for Impulsive-Compulsive Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease -Rating Scale 
(QUIP-RS) Screening version 
10. UPDRS Part III and dyskinesia rating in the ON state, including Modified Hoehn and 
Yahr scale in the ON state 
11. UPDRS Part III and dyskinesia rating in the OFF state 
12. 12 lead ECG 
13. Urine Drug Screen 
14. Review of Inclusion/Exclusion criteria

 30 
17. Complete the Enrollment Authorization Form (EAF) if the PI determines that the subject 
is eligible for randomization. There is no need to complete the EAF if the subject is a 
known screen failure. 
The investigator will review results from all screening procedures to consider whether a subject 
has met all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. The investigator will 
complete the Enrollment Authorization Form (EAF) for submission to the EAC for subjects who 
the investigator deems potentially eligible.  Upon receipt of the EAF, the EAC will review the 
provided information and the investigator will be notified of the EAC’s eligibility decision.  If 
the EAC rejects the inclusion of a subject, the reason for exclusion will be provided to the 
investigator.  Only after receiving confirmation from the EAC that the subject meets eligibility 
criteria may the investigator plan to enroll the subject.   
8.2 VISIT 2: TREATMENT PERIOD (DAY 1) 
For each cohort, subjects approved by the EAC for further participation in the study will return 
to the clinic within 28 days of the screening visit on the morning of Day 1, in the practically 
defined OFF state (having not taken any anti-PD medications since 10 PM the evening before). 
Subjects will come to clinic in a fasted state and will be administered a standard low protein 
breakfast.  Subjects will be randomized to either BTRX-246040 or placebo.   
In the clinic, subjects determined to be in the OFF state by the Investigator will be dosed with 
study drug and UPDRS Part III motor response and dyskinesia rating, and ON/OFF status will be 
assessed pre-dose and every 30 minutes post-dose for 4 hours, and then hourly for an additional 
4 hours (i.e., 8 hours total post-dose).  Time to ON and duration of ON, if applicable, will also be 
recorded.  
 
  
Subjects who reach and remain in the ON state for 8 hours may resume their regularly scheduled 
anti-parkinsonian medications 8 hours post-dosing. Subjects should remain on study drug until 
they experience an OFF episode after a full ON for 8 hours. However, if after 4 hours post study 
drug dosing, a subject’s motor symptoms are severe and not responsive to study drug, the 
subject’s regularly scheduled levodopa dose and other anti-parkinsonian medications may be 
administered, if deemed necessary based on the judgment of the investigator. All subjects 
whether they are administered their regularly scheduled anti-parkinsonian medications or not, 
will continue with study procedures unil the end of the observation period of 8 hours.  
The following assessments will be completed on Day 1 - see the Schedule of Assessments 
(Appendix 1) for details: 
1. Collection of concomitant medications

9 TREATMENT 
9.1 TREATMENTS ADMINISTERED 
This study involves a comparison of BTRX-246040 versus placebo taken orally as a single dose 
in 3 sequential ascending dose cohorts of 8 subjects each with a 6:2 randomization to 
BTRX-246040 or placebo.  The planned dosing for each cohort will be as noted in Table 1. 
Following completion of the first cohort, unblinded safety, tolerability, efficacy and, if available, 
PK data will be reviewed by an unblinded Dosing Review Committee (DRC) to determine if it is 
safe to proceed to the next higher dose level (see section 9.7). Similar dosing review and 
determination of dosing for each subsequent cohort will be performed based on all data available 
from previous cohorts. At any point, the DRC may request that a dosage be repeated rather than 
increased.

9.2 MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES 
BTRX-246040 and placebo capsules and packaging will be identical to maintain Investigator and 
subject blinding. Subjects should be instructed to swallow capsules whole and not crush or chew 
and store the capsules in their original packaging at the temperature listed on the package label. 
Clinical trial materials will be labeled according to the regulatory requirements.  
9.3 METHOD OF ASSIGNMENT TO TREATMENT 
Subjects who meet all inclusion criteria and are subsequently not excluded by the exclusion 
criteria will be randomized to double-blind treatment at Visit 2 using an IWRS. Subjects will be 
randomized in a 6:2 ratio to one of two treatment arms (BTRX-246040 or placebo).   
9.4 RATIONALE FOR SELECTION OF DOSES IN THE STUDY 
The starting dose for cohort 1 will be 40 mg.  A

Another Phase 2 study, NEP-MDD-201, compared single-daily dosing of BTRX-246040 vs. 
placebo administered over 8 weeks in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. 
After screening, eligible subjects were randomized to either 40 mg of BTRX-246040 or placebo 
and after one week the dose was increased to 80 mg and allowed to be down-titrated to 40 mg at 
the next visit for tolerability. BTRX-246040 and placebo had a similar rate of dose reduction 
(3/53 [5.7%] vs. 2/51 [3.9%]). The most common TEAEs that occurred more frequently with 
BTRX-246040 than placebo were nausea (5/53 [9.4%] vs. 3/51 [5.9%]), upper respiratory tract 
infection (3/53 [5.7%] vs. 2/51 [3.9%]), gastroenteritis, urinary tract infection, anxiety, and 
irritability (all 3/53 [5.7%] vs. 1/51 [2.0%]). One subject assigned to the placebo group had an 
SAE (Preferred Term: rhabdomyolysis). No deaths were reported. 
In all three Phase 2 studies, most TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity. There were no 
notable treatment-related clinical laboratory findings or abnormal ECGs. Vital signs were 
generally within normal ranges, with no notable treatment-related changes reported following 40 
mg and following 80 mg QD BTRX-246040. In all studies, no increase in suicidal ideation or 
behavior relative to placebo was detected following BTRX-246040 administration, as assessed 
by the C-SSRS.  
 
 
 
 
 
  
As BTRX-246040 has not previously been tested in PD, three dosing cohorts (40, 80, and 120 
mg) of 8 subjects with a 6:2 randomization to BTRX-246040 or placebo are planned in order to 
explore the effective dose range.  
9.5 SELECTION AND TIMING OF DOSES 
BTRX-246040 has only been dosed with a light breakfast in clinical pharmacology studies to 
date; there are currently no PK data available for BTRX-246040 when dosed in the fasted state.

Protocol NEP-PD-201 v4.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 35 
Therefore, in the current study, subjects will take the investigational study drug orally in the 
morning with a light breakfast.   
9.6 BLINDING 
This is a double-blind study. Subjects, site personnel, and the Sponsor will be blinded to 
treatment.  
The Investigator should make every effort to contact the medical monitor prior to unblinding a 
subject’s treatment assignment. If an Investigator, site personnel performing the assessments, or 
subject is unblinded, the subject must be discontinued from the study. In cases where there are 
ethical reasons to have the subject remain in the study, the Investigator must obtain specific 
approval from the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor for the subject to continue in the study.  
9.7 DOSING REVIEW COMMITTEE 
Safety will be evaluated by the DRC, which will be comprised of the Principal Investigator, 
Medical Monitor and Pharmacovigilance to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BTRX-
246040. The DRC may make the following decisions based on its review of the available data: 
• escalation to the next higher dose level 
• escalation of the dose level is not warranted because of dose-related toxicity 
• escalation is warranted to a lower dose than originally planned  
• escalation should be postponed pending collection of additional data from currently-
enrolled subjects 
• additional subjects should be added to a cohort to better understand safety at that level. 
After enrollment of the first cohort has been completed, doses for subsequent cohorts may be 
modified as above based on review of the available data (safety, tolerability, efficacy, and PK) 
by an unblinded Dosing Review Committee (DRC). A similar review and determination of 
dosing for the subsequent cohort will be performed after completion of cohorts 1 and 2 and based 
on all data available from previous cohorts. 
9.8 CONCOMITANT THERAPIES 
In general, stable doses of concomitant medications will be allowed during the study if stable 
dosing occurred during the 1 month prior to the screening visit. Subjects may receive 
antidepressant medications if the doses have been stable for at least 8 Weeks prior to the 
screening visit. The Investigator should instruct subjects to notify the study site about any new 
medications he/she takes and about any significant non-pharmacological therapies administered 
after the start of the study drug (e.g. acupuncture, hypnosis etc.). All medications, including over 
the counter medications and supplements, and also significant non-pharmacological therapies, 
administered after the subjects start treatment with study drug must be listed on the 
corresponding CRFs.

 36 
9.8.1 ANTI-PD MEDICATIONS 
Subjects are required to be on a stable regimen of permitted anti-PD medications for at least 4 
weeks (with the exception of MAO-B inhibitors, which must be stable for 8 weeks) prior to 
Screening (see inclusion and exclusion criteria Section 7.1 and 7.2). All efforts should be made 
to maintain subjects on the same stable dose and frequency of their anti PD medications 
throughout their participation. The addition of any new anti-PD medications or an increase in the 
dose of any anti-PD medications is not permitted.  Likewise, changes to the frequency (number 
of doses taken per day) or to the intervals between doses (duration of time between doses on a 
given day) of a subject’s anti-PD medication(s) are not permitted.  An as needed dose of 
levodopa or other anti-PD medication would be considered a change in frequency as it is not a 
regular part of the daily regimen. 
9.8.2 PROHIBITED MEDICATIONS/TREATMENTS 
The following concomitant medications are prohibited: 
• Current or previous use of Duopa/Dupdopa 
• Current use of Apomorphine 
• All anti-psychotic medications for more than 1 month within the past 2 years, or any 
exposure within the past year 
• Use of proton pump inhibitors within 5 half-lives of Visit 2 
• Fluoxetine and irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors within 4 weeks of Visit 2  
• Bupropion within 8 weeks of the screening visit 
• Current use or use within 5 half-lives of Screening of any medications or supplements 
that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4.  Examples are provided below.  A 
further listing of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers can be found in Appendix 2. 
o  Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors include: 
 Antifungal azoles  
 Macrolide antibiotics  
 Human immunodeficiency virus protease inhibitors  
 Boceprevir 
 Nefazodone 
 Conivaptan 
o Strong CYP3A4 inducers include: 
 Rifampin 
 Phenytoin 
 Carbamazepine 
 Enzalutamide

10 SAFETY, EFFICACY EVALUATIONS, BLOOD SAMPLE COLLECTION 
AND TESTING, AND SAFETY MEASUREMENTS  
Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the Schedule of Assessments (Appendix 1)  
All scales and tasks will be completed and/or administered by qualified and trained site raters 
who meet the training requirements and qualifications of the scale or task standards set by the 
Sponsor and training vendors. 
10.1 EFFICACY MEASURES 
10.1.1 UNIFIED PARKINSON’S DISEASE RATING SCALE 
The UPDRS is well-established and the most widely used assessment to quantify the signs and 
symptoms of PD (Fahn, Elton, & Committee, 1987).  The total UPDRS consists of 4 parts which 
assess the following: 
1. 
Mentation, behavior and mood 
2. 
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) 
3. 
Motor function  
4. 
Complications of therapy 
Only Part III will be utilized in this trial. The UPDRS Part III is a 14-item rating scale, which 
consists of the motor examination. Each item is scored from 0 (Normal) to 4 (Most severe). The 
UPDRS Part III scale should only be administered by a rater who has adequate experience with 
subjects with PD and should be a trained neurologist or other trained research staff with 
experience in conducting the UPDRS. All attempts should be made to ensure that the same 
trained research staff member performs the UPDRS part III for a given subject. 
An additional single item to rate dyskinesia is added to the scale and is rated from 0 (No 
dyskinesia) to 4 (Severe dyskinesia: maximal amplitude and present during most of the exam). 
The UPDRS and dyskinesia rating will be conducted as indicated in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Appendix 1). 
10.2 SAFETY MEASURES 
Investigators are responsible for monitoring the safety of subjects who have entered this study 
and for alerting the Sponsor or its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if this event 
may be considered an unanticipated benefit to the subject.  
The Investigator is responsible for the appropriate medical care of subjects during the study.  
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.

10.2.1 ADVERSE EVENTS 
An AE is any sign, symptom, illness, clinically significant abnormal laboratory value or ECG 
finding, or other untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of an investigational 
product that appears or worsens in a subject during a clinical study.  This definition does not 
imply a causal relationship between the AE and the investigational product.   
Adverse events beginning with the initial dose of investigational product or during the 
subsequent duration of their enrollment in the study will be considered treatment-emergent AEs 
(TEAE).  TEAEs will be recorded on the AE CRF to include the event, date of onset, severity, 
frequency, seriousness, date of resolution, action taken with respect to the AE (e.g., concomitant 
medication, non-pharmacological treatment, etc.), outcome, and relationship to the 
investigational product.  All TEAEs related to study drug will be followed through resolution or 
30 days after the subject terminates from the study, whichever occurs first.   
Medical conditions present or AEs occurring prior to the first dose of investigational product will 
be captured as medical history in the CRF.  Any AE occurring during the study that is related to 
a pre-existing condition or event that worsens in intensity or frequency after the first dose of 
investigational product will be recorded as a TEAE.  
Lack of drug effect is not an AE in clinical studies because the purpose of the clinical study is to 
establish drug effect.  
10.2.2 CLASSIFICATION OF AN ADVERSE EVENT 
10.2.2.1 SEVERITY OF EVENT 
Each AE will be assessed by the Investigator with regard to the categories discussed in the 
sections below.  The Investigator will assess all AEs for severity in accordance with the 
following standard ratings. 
MILD = of little concern to the subject and/or of no clinical significance; is not expected to have 
any effect on the subject’s health or well-being; 
MODERATE = discomfort enough to cause interference with or change in usual activities; is 
likely to require medical intervention and/or close follow-up; 
SEVERE = incapacitating or unable to work or participate in many or all usual activities, is of 
concern to the subject and/or poses substantial risk to the subject’s health or well-being; is likely 
to require medical intervention and/or close follow-up. 
For an AE that begins and ends on the same day and severity worsens over that day, one AE will 
be recorded and will be assessed with the highest level of severity for that day.  For an AE that 
continues over multiple days (past the initial day of onset), if an increase in severity level occurs, 
only the maximum level of severity will be documented.  For a non-TEAE in which the duration 
continues beyond administration of the first dose of study drug, if the AE increases in severity or 
frequency after study drug administration, then the initial AE will be closed and a new TEAE 


BlackThorn Therapeutics, Inc. 
Protocol NEP-PD-201 v4.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 39 
will be opened documenting the new higher level of severity (at the maximum severity level for 
the remaining duration of the AE).  An AE characterized as intermittent requires documentation 
of onset and duration of each episode. 
10.2.2.2 RELATIONSHIP TO STUDY DRUG 
The Investigator will assess the causality/relationship between study drug and the AE.  One of 
the following categories should be selected based on medical judgment, considering the 
definitions below and all contributing factors: 
 
Related 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, occurs in a 
plausible time relationship to study drug administration and which 
concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals cannot explain.  The 
response to withdrawal of the study drug should be clinically plausible.   
Probably 
Related 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, is a known effect 
of drug with a reasonable time sequence to administration of the drug, 
and which cannot be reasonably explained by the known characteristics 
of the participant’s clinical state. 
Possibly Related 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a reasonable 
time sequence to administration of the study drug, but which could also 
be explained by concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals.  
Information on treatment withdrawal may be lacking or unclear. 
Unlikely Related A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with a temporal 
relationship to study drug administration which makes a causal 
relationship improbable and in which other drugs, chemicals, or 
underlying disease provide plausible explanations. 
Not Related 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with little or no 
temporal relationship with study drug administration.  Typically 
explained by extraneous factors (e.g., concomitant disease, environmental 
factors, or other drugs or chemicals) 
 
10.2.3 OVERDOSE 
In the event of an overdose of study drug, the Investigator should use clinical judgment in 
treating the overdose and contact the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor, or designee.  The 
Investigator should refer to the relevant document(s) for detailed information regarding 
warnings, precautions, contraindications, AEs, and other significant data pertaining to the study 
drug.  Such documentation may include, but not be limited to the Investigator’s Brochure.  As 
the study drug will only be administered by study staff while the subject is in the clinic, the 
likelihood of an overdose occurring in this study is considered unlikely.

10.2.4 PREGNANCY 
Any pregnancy that occurs from baseline after study drug exposure until study completion must 
be reported to the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor on a Pregnancy Notification Form within 
24 hours of learning of its occurrence. 
Each pregnancy must be reported as well to the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor within 24 
hours of learning of its occurrence. The pregnancy must be followed up to determine outcome 
(including premature termination) and status of mother and child. 
10.2.5 SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE that results in one of the following outcomes, 
regardless of the Investigator’s opinion of causation: 
1. death 
2. initial or prolonged in-subject hospitalization 
a. Surgeries planned prior to signing the ICF will not be considered SAEs. However, 
worsening of the underlying medical condition during the study will be 
considered an AE and must be captured as serious if any SAE-defining outcomes 
occur as a result. 
3. a life-threatening experience (that is, immediate risk of dying) 
4. persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
5. congenital anomaly/birth defect 
6. other medically important serious event as determined by the Investigator (for example, 
an AE that jeopardizes the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to 
prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition). If a subject experiences an SAE 
after signing informed consent, but prior to receiving investigational product, the event 
will be captured as medical history in the CRF and not submitted as reportable-event 
unless the Investigator feels the event may have been caused by a protocol procedure. 
SAEs reported after a subject has taken a dose of investigational product will be collected in the 
pharmacovigilance system for 30 days after the last dose of investigational product. Thereafter, 
only SAEs that the Investigator feels were related to the investigational product or a protocol 
procedure must be reported. 
All SAEs must be captured on a study-specific SAE form in addition to the AE CRF.  Study site 
personnel must alert the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor of the SAE and must submit the 
completed study-specific SAE form to the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor within 24 hours 
of the site’s awareness of the SAE. 
The Investigator and supporting personnel responsible for subject care should discuss with the 
Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor or designee any need for supplemental investigations of 


BlackThorn Therapeutics, Inc.

CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 41 
SAEs. The results of these additional assessments conducted must be reported to the Sponsor-
designated Medical Monitor. If a subject death occurs during participation in the study and a 
post-mortem examination is performed and a copy of the autopsy report is available, it should be 
submitted to the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor. 
The Investigator is responsible for safety reporting in compliance with their Institutional Review 
Board (IRB). 
10.2.6 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 investigational product or procedure.  
The Sponsor is responsible for IND safety reporting as per 21 CFR 312.32.  
10.3  
MEASURES TO BE PERFORMED ONLY AT SCREENING 
10.3.1 MODIFIED HOEHN AND YAHR SCALE 
The Modified Hoehn and Yahr PD Staging is a scale expressing the severity of the symptoms of 
PD (Hoehn & Yahr, 1967).  It provides a practical classification of 5 stages of ever increasing 
severity.  The stages are defined as: 
• 
Stage 0 = No signs of disease. 
• 
Stage 1 = Unilateral disease. 
• 
Stage 1.5 = Unilateral plus axial involvement. 
• 
Stage 2 = Bilateral disease, without impairment of balance. 
• 
Stage 2.5 = Mild bilateral disease, with recovery on pull test. 
• 
Stage 3 = Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural instability; physically 
independent. 
• 
Stage 4 = Severe disability; still able to walk or stand unassisted 
• 
Stage 5 = Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided. 
Modified Hoehn and Yahr scale will be assessed in the ON state at Screening. 
10.3.2 MONTREAL COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT (MOCA) 
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a widely used screening assessment for 
detecting cognitive impairment (Nasreddine, et al., 2005).  It was designed as a rapid screening 
instrument for mild cognitive dysfunction. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and 
concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual 
thinking, calculations, and orientation. The total possible score is 30 points; a score of 26 or 
above is considered normal.

10.3.3 BECK DEPRESSION INVENTORY-II 
The BDI-II is a 21 question, multiple choice self-report inventory used to measure the severity of 
depression (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996).  In its current version, the BDI-II is designed for 
individuals aged 13 and over and is composed of items relating to symptoms of depression, such 
as hopelessness and irritability; cognitions, such as guilt or feelings of being punished; and 
physical symptoms, such as fatigue, weight loss, and lack of interest in sex.  Each question is 
scored on a scale value of 0 to 3, with higher total scores indicating more severe depressive 
symptoms. 
10.4 LABORATORY PROCEDURES/EVALUATIONS 
10.4.1 SAFETY LABORATORY EVALUATIONS 
Clinical laboratory evaluations (including clinical chemistry panel, hematology, coagulation 
[including PT, aPTT, INR] parameters and urinalysis) will be collected as indicated in the 
Schedule of Assessments (Appendix 1). 
A urine drug screen for selected drugs of abuse will be performed at Screening. 
Investigators must document their review of each safety laboratory report. 
Clinical laboratory assessments will be performed by a central laboratory.  Detailed processing, 
storage, and shipping instructions for the clinical samples will be provided in a separate 
Laboratory Manual.  
Additional clinical laboratory evaluations may be performed at other times if judged to be 
clinically appropriate or if the ongoing review of the data suggest a more detailed assessment of 
clinical laboratory safety evaluations is required.  Any changes to the scheduled times of clinical 
laboratory determination will be agreed to with the Sponsor and documented in the study master 
file.

10.4.2 URINE DRUG SCREEN 
A urine drug screen for drug abuse will include: amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepine, 
cannabinoids, cocaine, ethyl alcohol, opiates, phencyclidine, propoxyphene, and methadone.  No 
retest is allowed for a positive result with a drug of abuse (e.g., cocaine, cannabinoids, 
phencyclidine, and methadone).   
The site must contact the Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor or designee for pre-approval 
before a retest of other drugs that presented as positive as long as the subject has a valid 
prescription and there is no evidence of a Substance Use Disorder. In the case of Alcohol (Ethyl 
Alcohol) as long as there is clear justification for the finding and no history nor lab pattern

10.5.2 HEIGHT AND WEIGHT 
Height and weight will be measured during the study as indicated in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Appendix 1). Height should be measured only once at screening with no shoes for 
correct measurement. The BMI will be calculated based on height and weight measured at 
screening. 
10.5.3 PHYSICAL EXAMINATION 
A routine physical examination of general appearance, skin (sufficient to detect any suspicious 
lesions, particularly any lesions potentially suggestive of melanoma), head, neck (including 
thyroid), eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, lymph nodes, and extremities will be 
performed at the time points specified in the Schedule of Assessments (Appendix 1).   
10.5.4 NEUROLOGICAL EXAMINATION 
Neurological examination of cranial nerves, motor system, sensory, and reflexes will be 
conducted at screening and all subsequent study visits. Complete neurological examination 
including mental status, cranial nerves, motor systems, deep tendon reflexes, cerebellar function 
(balance and coordination), gait, and sensory systems will be performed by a qualified physician 
in the ON state whenever possible, at the time points specified in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Appendix 1). 
10.5.5 COLLECTION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAMS 
For each subject, single 12-lead digital ECGs will be collected as indicated in the Schedule of 
Assessments after resting for 5 min.  
The ECGs will initially be interpreted by a qualified physician (the Investigator or qualified 
designee) at the site as soon after the time of ECG collection as possible, and ideally while the 
subject is still present, to determine whether the subject meets entry criteria at the relevant 
visit(s) and for immediate subject management, should any clinically relevant findings be 
identified.  
After enrollment, if a clinically significant increase in the Fridericia’s correction method for the 
QT (QTcF) interval from baseline (e.g. QTcF ≥ 500 msec and/or QTcF increased ≥ 60 msec) or 
other clinically significant quantitative or qualitative change from baseline is identified, the 
subject will be assessed by the Investigator for symptoms (e.g., palpitations, near syncope, 
syncope) and to determine whether the subject can continue investigational product. The 
Investigator or qualified designee is responsible for determining if any change in subject 
management is needed and must document his/her review of the ECG printed at the time of 
evaluation for each time point.  
All digital ECGs will be electronically transmitted to a designated central ECG laboratory. A 
cardiologist at the central ECG laboratory will then conduct a full over-read. A report based on 
data from this over-read will be issued to the investigative site. All data from the over-reads will 


BlackThorn Therapeutics, Inc. 
Protocol NEP-PD-201 v4.0 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 46 
be placed in the Sponsor database for analytical and study report purposes. Any clinically 
significant finding that was present on the fully over-read ECG will be reported to the 
Investigator and to the Sponsor. 
When there are differences in ECG interpretation between the Investigator (or qualified 
designee) and the cardiologist at the central ECG laboratory, the Investigator’s (or qualified 
designee’s) interpretation will be used for study entry and immediate subject management. 
Interpretations from the cardiologist at the central ECG laboratory will be used for data analysis 
and report writing purposes.  
The Investigator (or qualified designee) must document his/her review of ECGs printed at the 
time of collection, the final over-read ECG report issued by the central ECG laboratory, and any 
alert reports.  
10.5.6 COLUMBIA SUICIDE SEVERITY RATING SCALE (C-SSRS) 
The C-SSRS will be used to assess suicidal tendency ("C-SSRS for Research", 2016).  The 
Baseline/Screening version of the C-SSRS will be used at the Screening visit.  This version 
assesses suicidality in a subject’s lifetime and during the past specified months.  The Since Last 
Visit version of the C-SSRS will be used at all other visits.  This version assesses suicidality 
since the subject’s last visit.  Efforts must be made to ensure that the same trained team member 
completes this questionnaire for each subject.   
If a suicide-related event is identified at any time during the study, a thorough evaluation should 
be performed by a study physician and appropriate medical care should be provided. In some 
subjects taking antidepressants, worsening of depression, suicidal events (suicidal thinking 
and/or behavior), or unusual changes in behavior have been reported, especially at the beginning 
of the drug therapy. It is important that subjects are instructed to notify their doctor immediately 
if they have any distressing thoughts or feelings at any time related to harm to either self or 
others.  Subjects who answered YES to questions 4 or 5 in the C-SSRS questionnaire at 
Screening are excluded and should be referred to a mental health professional. 
10.5.7 QUESTIONNAIRE FOR IMPULSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDERS IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE 
RATING SCALE (QUIP-RS) 
The QUIP-RS is an instrument used to measure the extent of impulsive and compulsive 
behaviors in PD patients (Weintraub, et al., 2012).  The Screening version of the QUIP-RS will 
be used at the Screening visit. This version assesses compulsive behaviors in PD patients over 
the last four weeks. THE QUIP-RS Since Last visit version will be used at all other visits. The 
QUIP-RS is The QUIP-RS consists of 4 questions which have to be answered for each disorder 
(gambling, sex, buying, eating, hobbyism, punding, and PD medication use) on a 5-point Likert 
scale.  The scoring range for each scale (ie, disorder) is 0–16.   The QUIP-RS will be completed 
as indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (Appendix 1).

10.5.8 SAFETY MONITORING 
The Sponsor-designated Medical Monitor and the study team will monitor blinded safety data 
throughout the course of the study. This will include review of AEs, SAEs, any AEs of special 
interest, ECG findings, neurological exams, laboratory results, vital signs, and other safety data. 
The unblinded Dosing Review Committee (DRC) will convene to review unblinded safety and 
tolerability data at the completion of cohorts 1 and 2 to determine if it is safe to proceed with the 
next higher dose, repeat the same dose or stop the study.  
10.5.8.1 COMPLAINT HANDLING 
The Sponsor collects product complaints on investigational products and drug delivery systems 
used in clinical studies in order to ensure the safety of study participants, to monitor quality, and 
to facilitate process and product improvements. 
Subjects will be instructed to contact the Investigator as soon as possible if he or she has a 
complaint or problem with the investigational product so that the situation can be assessed.  
For blinded studies, all product complaints associated with material packaged, labeled, and 
released by the Sponsor or its delegate will be reported. 
The Investigator or his/her designee is responsible for handling the following aspects of the 
product complaint process in accordance with the instructions provided for this study: 
1. recording a complete description of the product complaint reported and any associated 
AEs using the study-specific complaint forms provided for this purpose 
2. submitting the completed product complaint form within 24 hours to the Sponsor or its 
designee.

To ensure accurate, complete, and reliable data, the Sponsor or its representatives will do the 
following: 
1. provide instructional material to the study sites, as appropriate 
2. provide start-up training to instruct the Investigators and study site personnel. 
This training will give instruction on the protocol, the completion of the eCRFs, study 
procedures, and on handling and administering the study drug 
3. make periodic visits to the study site 
4. be available for consultation and stay in contact with the study site personnel by email 
and telephone 
5. review and evaluate eCRF data and standard computer edits to detect errors in data 
collection 
6. conduct a quality review of the database. 
In addition, the Sponsor or its representatives may periodically check a sample of the subject 
data recorded against source documents at the study site. The study may be audited by the 
Sponsor, its representatives, and/or applicable regulatory agencies at any time. Investigators will 
be given notice before an audit occurs. 
To ensure the safety of participants in the study, and to ensure accurate, complete, and reliable 
data, the Investigator will keep records of laboratory tests, clinical notes, and subject medical 
records in the subject files as original source documents for the study. If requested, the 
Investigator will provide the Sponsor, applicable regulatory agencies, and applicable IRBs with 
direct access to original source documents.  
11.1 DATA CAPTURE SYSTEM 
The Sponsor will select a 21-CFR compliant electronic data capture system (EDC) and provide 
appropriately trained site personnel user permissions to enter information on the electronic CRFs 
(Case Report Forms). The site will maintain a separate source for the data entered onto CRFs. 
The data system includes password protection and internal quality checks, such as automatic 
range checks, to identify data that appears inconsistent, incomplete, or inaccurate. 
Electronic data collected on other devices will be transferred to the Sponsor’s selected EDC, as 
applicable. 
An identification code assigned via the use of the randomization envelopes to each subject will 
be used in lieu of the subject’s name to protect the subject’s identity when reporting study-
related data.

1 Unscheduled visits may be conducted at any time for safety reasons and/or for any other reason. 
2 Vital signs include supine (at least 5 min) and standing (after approximately 2 min) BP and pulse rate, body 
temperature and body weight.   
At Day 1, 3 sets each of supine and standing BP and pulse rate will be measured at least 15-20 minutes apart at 
pre-dose and will be measured once at 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after dosing. 
3 Height will be measured only once, at Screening. Body weight will be measured once per visit. 
4 At screening, UPDRS Part III and dyskinesia rating should be done in the OFF and the ON state. This can be done 
in either the practically defined OFF state or after a subject wears OFF following a levodopa dose. 
5 At Day 1, UPDRS Part III and dyskinesia rating will be conducted in the OFF state Pre-dose and every 30 minutes 
for 4 hours and then hourly for another 4 hours (or until subject turns OFF) following study drug administration. If 
the subject remains ON after 8 hours, they should be called the next morning to record the time they turned OFF, 
and the time they took their first regularly scheduled anti-parkinsonian medications after study drug, to a maximum 
of 24 hours.

Overview
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) describes the planned analysis and reporting for BlackThorn 
Therapeutics, Inc. protocol number NEP-PD-201 (Phase 2a, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled 
Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of BTRX-246040 in 
Parkinson’s Disease Subjects with Motor Fluctuations), dated 31-Jul-2018. Reference materials 
for this statistical plan include the protocol and the accompanying sample data collection 
documents1, 2. Operational aspects related to collection and timing of planned clinical 
assessments are not repeated in this SAP unless relevant to the planned analysis.
The structure and content of this SAP provides sufficient detail to meet the requirements 
identified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), 
and International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) of Technical Requirements for 
Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use: Guidance on Statistical Principles for Clinical 
Trials3, International Conference on Harmonization; Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials: 
Addendum on Estimands and Sensitivity Analysis in Clinical Trials4. All work planned and 
reported for this SAP will follow internationally accepted guidelines, published by the American 
Statistical Association5 and the Royal Statistical Society6, for statistical practice.
The planned analyses identified in this SAP will be included in clinical study reports (CSRs), 
regulatory submissions, or future manuscripts. Also, post-hoc exploratory analyses not 
necessarily identified in this SAP may be performed to further examine study data. Any post-hoc 
or unplanned, exploratory analysis performed will be clearly identified as such in the final CSR.
The statistical plan described hereafter is an a priori plan. It will be submitted to file prior to any 
unblinded inferential or descriptive analysis of data pertaining to BlackThorn Therapeutics, 
Inc.’s study NEP-PD-201.

Overall Study Design and Plan 
This is a phase 2a, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to investigate the safety, tolerability, 
pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of BTRX-246040 in PD subjects with motor fluctuations. A 
sample size of 8 subjects per cohort will be randomized to BTRX-246040 40 mg (1 capsule), 80 
mg (2 capsules), 120 mg (3 capsules), or matching Placebo. Subjects must be between the ages 
of 30 and 76 and have a clinical diagnosis of PD with motor fluctuations and predictable early 
morning off periods.  
The overall maximum study duration for an individual subject is expected to be approximately 
36 days (including the 28 day screening period) with study drug treatment duration of 1 day. As 
per the schedule of events in Table 2 subjects will be randomly assigned in a 6:2 ratio (BTRX-
246040: Placebo) by cohort. After the 1 day treatment (including the 8 hour observation period), 
the study center will conduct a follow-up safety visit 7 days later (Day 8).

Overall Design
3.2.
Sample Size and Power
No formal sample size calculations were calculated. A sample size of 8 subjects per group was 
deemed sufficient to evaluate the preliminary safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the different 
dose levels.
3.3.
Study Population and Treatments Administered
The study will enroll approximately 24 subjects in a 6:2 ratio (BTRX-246040: Placebo) who 
have diagnosed PD with motor fluctuations and predictable early morning off periods. 
Additional subjects may be added to a cohort to better understand safety at a particular dose 
cohort. 
This study involves a comparison of BTRX-246040 versus Placebo taken orally as a single dose 
in 3 sequential ascending dose cohorts. The planned dosing for each cohort is noted in Table 1.

Following completion of each cohort, unblinded safety, tolerability, efficacy and, if available, 
PK data will be reviewed by an unblinded Dosing Review Committee (DRC) to determine if it is 
safe to proceed to the next higher dose level.

Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Groups
In this parallel-group randomized phase 2a study, subjects who meet study entry criteria will be 
randomly assigned to receive BTRX-246040, or Placebo as described above at Visit 2. The 
randomization numbers will be assigned sequentially by cohort through a central interactive 
web-response system (IWRS) as subjects who meet eligibility criteria are enrolled into the study. 
The randomization schedule will be prepared by Premier Research before the start of the study. 
No one involved in the clinical conduct will have access to the randomization schedule before 
official unblinding of treatment assignment. No subject will be randomized into the study more 
than once.
3.5.
Blinding and Unblinding
BTRX-246040 and Placebo capsules and packaging will be identical to maintain the investigator, 
subject, and clinical study team member blinds.
All subjects, investigators, and study personnel involved in the conduct of the study, including 
data management, will be blinded to the treatment assignment with the exception of a
prespecified independent statistician/programmer from Premier Research who will be involved 
in generation of the randomization code. The unblinded study personnel will not participate in 
study procedures or data analysis prior to unblinding of the study data which will be performed 
after database lock, but will be involved in preparing the unblinded report for the DRC.
Study personnel will endeavor to safeguard the integrity of the study blind to minimize bias in 
the conduct of the study. Treatment unblinding is discouraged but may be permitted in case of 
medical emergency only if that requires immediate knowledge of the subject’s treatment 
assignment. The process of unblinding one subject should not jeopardize the validity and 
integrity of the whole study. If an Investigator, site personnel performing the assessments, or 
subject is unblinded, the subject must be discontinued from the study.

Statistical Analysis and Reporting
All final, planned analyses identified in this SAP will be performed after the study 
database has been locked and treatment codes have been unblinded.
4.1.
Introduction
Data processing, tabulation of descriptive statistics, calculation of inferential statistics, 
and graphical representations will be performed using SAS® (release 9.4 or higher. If the 
use of other software is warranted, the final statistical methodology report will detail 
what software was used for what purposes.
Continuous variable summaries will include the number of subjects (n) with non-missing 
values, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum.
Categorical variable summaries will include the frequency and percentage of subjects that 
are in the particular category or each possible value. In general the denominator for the 
percentage calculation will be based upon the study population for the specified treatment 
group and overall, unless otherwise specified. The denominator for by-visit displays will 
be the number of subjects in the relevant study population and treatment with non-
missing data at each visit.
The minimum and maximum will be reported with the same degree of precision (i.e., the 
same number of decimal places) as the observed data. Measures of location (mean and 
median) will be reported to 1 degree of precision more than the observed data and 
measures of spread (SD) will be reported to 2 degrees of precision more than the 
observed data. Percentages will be presented to 1 decimal place, unless otherwise 
specified.

Interim Analysis and Data Monitoring
No interim analysis is currently planned. If an interim analysis is planned in the future, 
this will be amended in protocol and in the SAP text as applicable. Safety of planned 
cohorts will be evaluated by the DRC per section 9.7 of the protocol.
5.
Analysis Populations
The following 2 analysis populations are planned for this study:
x
Modified Intent-to-Treat Population (mITT): Includes all randomized subjects 
who received at least one dose of study drug and have at least 1 post-baseline 
scoring of motor activity. In accordance with the intent-to-treat principle, all 
subjects will be kept in their randomized treatment group. The mITT population 
will serve as the primary population for efficacy evaluations.
x
Safety Analysis Population (SAF): Includes all subjects who have received 
study drug. All subjects will be evaluated according to actual treatment received.
The safety population will serve as the primary population for safety evaluations.
Inclusion in the analysis populations described above will be determined prior to database 
lock. 
5.1.
Statistical Definitions and Algorithms
5.1.1. Baseline
The last non-missing observation recorded on or before the first dose of study drug will 
be used as the baseline observation for all calculations of change from baseline.
5.1.2. Adjustments for Covariates
No planned covariates will be included in any planned analyses. Exploration of additional 
covariates will be considered as data becomes available post database lock.
5.1.3. Multiple Comparisons/Multiplicity
There will be no adjustments for multiple comparisons for efficacy or safety endpoints.
5.1.4. Handling of Dropouts or Missing Data
There will be no imputation for efficacy or safety endpoints.

5.1.5. Analysis Visit Windows
In general, analysis of all variables for this study will use the nominal visit or time point 
as collected in the eCRF/database. Scheduled visits will be selected over unscheduled 
visits. Unscheduled visits will be presented in data listings.

For analysis purposes, repeat laboratory test results will not be used unless the original 
laboratory value is missing or indicated as invalid, in which case the first non-missing 
repeat laboratory value will be used for data analysis.
Adverse events and Medical History will be coded using the MedDRA thesaurus.
Concomitant and Prior medications will be coded using WHO Drug Dictionary (WHO-
DD).
If partial dates occur for AEs or medications, the convention for replacing missing dates 
for analyses is as follows:
For partial start dates: 
x
If the year is unknown, then do not impute the date but assign a missing value.
x
If the month is unknown, then:
o
If the year matches the year of the randomization date, then impute the 
month and day of the randomization date.
o
Otherwise, assign 01 January
x
If the day is unknown, then:
o
If the month and year match the month and year of the randomization date, 
then impute the day of the first study drug administration date. 
o
Otherwise, assign 01.
For partial end dates: 
x
If the year is unknown, then do not impute the date but assign a missing value. 
x
If the month is unknown, then assign the last day of the year 31 December. 
x
If the day is unknown, then assign the last day of the month.
After implementing the rules above, to determine whether AEs (or medications) with 
missing start or stop dates are pretreatment or on/after treatment, the following strategy 
will be used:
1. If the start date and stop date are both missing, then the most conservative
approach is taken and the AE (or medication) is considered to be treatment 
emergent (or concomitant).
2. If the start date is missing but the stop date is not missing and is after the day of 
study drug administration, then the most conservative approach is taken and the 
AE (or medication) is considered to be treatment emergent (or concomitant).
3. If the start date is missing but the stop date is not missing and is on or before the 
day of study drug administration, then the AE (or medication) is considered to be

before treatment (or prior).
If the start date is not missing but the stop date is missing, then the most conservative 
approach is taken. Medication is considered to be concomitant and AEs are considered to 
be treatment-emergent.
A treatment related AE is any AE with a relationship to the study drug of “Possibly 
Related”, “Probably Related” or “Related”. Any AE with a missing relationship will be 
analyzed as treatment related. If an AE has a missing severity, it will be imputed as 
“Severe”.

administration. 
A by-subject listing of all prior and concomitant medications will be presented.
6.6.
Concomitant Medications
Concomitant medications will be tabulated similarly to Prior medications. A concomitant 
medication is any non-protocol specified drug or substance administered during 
participation in the study on or after first date of study drug. A medication can be 
considered both concomitant and prior if the subject took medication prior to the study 
and continued taking it after first study drug administration.

Exposure and Study Drug Administration
A by subject listing will be provided for all drug exposure and study drug administration 
information collected.
7.
Efficacy Analysis
All efficacy variables will be summarized using the mITT population as the primary 
population of interest, unless otherwise specified.
7.1.
Primary Efficacy Analysis
The primary efficacy endpoint of this study is the maximal change in UPDRS Part III 
Total Score from pre-dose to post-dose on Day 1 (collected every 30 minutes for 4 hrs, 
then hourly for 4 more hours) in all subjects. The mean maximal change will be presented 
along with its standard deviation, by treatment group. Data for all BTRX-246040 subjects 
pooled across cohorts will be compared with data for all Placebo subjects pooled across 
cohorts.  
The observed value and change from baseline will be summarized descriptively for 
UPDRS Part III Total Score at each Day 1 time point, in addition to the maximal change 
described above. A scatter plot of the maximal change in UPDRS Part III Total Score 
will also be presented.

Safety and Tolerability Analysis
Safety will be evaluated from reported TEAEs, changes in clinical laboratory values, 
changes in vital signs, ECG, physical examination results, neurological examination, and 
the C-SSRS. No formal inferential analyses will be conducted for safety outcomes, unless 
otherwise noted. Unless otherwise specified, all safety analyses will be conducted on the 
SAF population.
8.1.
Adverse Events
All AEs and SAEs will be coded using the MedDRA v20.1 thesaurus. Adverse event 
analyses will include TEAEs, defined as AEs which start after the first dose of study 
medication. The frequency and percentage of subjects reporting TEAEs, grouped by 
MedDRA SOC and PT, will be tabulated by treatment group for the SAF. Such 
summaries will be displayed for the following:
x
TEAEs by SOC and PT
x
TEAEs by SOC, PT, and severity
x
TEAEs by SOC, PT, and relationship to the study medication
x
TEAEs leading to death by SOC, and PT
x
SAE TEAEs other than deaths by SOC, and PT

Missing and partially missing AE start and/or stop dates will be imputed for the purpose 
of statistical analysis, according to the specifications described in Section 5.1.7.
In the AE data listings, all AEs will be displayed and TEAEs will be flagged. In the event 
the number of TEAEs is low from the tabulations above, only listings will be provided.
8.1.1. Adverse Events Leading to Withdrawal
A summary of incidence rates (frequencies and percentages) of AEs leading to 
withdrawal of study drug, by treatment group, SOC, and preferred term will be prepared.
8.1.2. Deaths and Serious Adverse Events
Any deaths that occur during the study will be listed.
Serious adverse events will be listed and also tabulated by system organ class and 
preferred term and presented by treatment.
8.2.
Clinical Laboratory Evaluations
Descriptive summaries of actual (absolute) values and changes from baseline will be 
presented for each clinical laboratory analyte by treatment group.
The number of subjects with clinical laboratory values below, within, or above the 
normal range by time point will be tabulated for each clinical laboratory analyte by 
treatment group. These shift tables will tabulate the number and proportion of subjects 
from baseline to post-baseline categories of low, normal or high.
By-subject listings of laboratory analytes will be presented. Any out-of-range values that 
are identified by the investigator as being clinically significant will be shown on this 
listing.
Pregnancy and urine drug screen test results will be listed.

Individual concentration vs actual time data will be used to estimate the PK parameters 
(Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, AUC) of BTRX-246040 by standard non-compartmental methods 
for each subject in the SAF population.
For PK data, all values below the limit of quantification (BLQ) will be set to 0 for 
summary statistics and graphs. Individual concentrations of BTRX-256040 will be 
summarized at each time point using descriptive statistics. Individual concentration plots 
and mean data graphs will be produced. All graphs will be presented using both linear 
and semi-logarithmic scales. 
All BTRX-256040 concentration data will be presented in a by-subject listing.

Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale
All measures of suicidal ideation and behavior collected on the C-SSRS will be listed by 
subject.
