Start date: 2017-05-12; Completion date: 2019-04-23
Enrollment: 36 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
This Phase I study is an open label multiple ascending dose evaluation of the safety and PK of oxfendazole (3, 7.5, or 15 mg/kg) given orally daily to healthy adult men and nonpregnant women aged 18-45 followed by a single dose cross over trial evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of a single dose of oxfendazole (3 mg/kg) given following an 8 hour fast or following a high fat meal. The study duration will be approximately 12 months with each subject participation lasting approximately 6 weeks. In the multiple ascending dose evaluation, between 8 and 24 subjects will be enrolled; each dose group will be comprised of eight volunteers. To enhance safety, one sentinel subject will be dosed for five days and monitored for 7 days from the time of the first dose for predefined adverse events. If there are no predefined safety events, a second sentinel subject will be enrolled and followed for a total of 7 days. If there are no predefined safety signals identified for either of these two sentinel subjects, the remaining subjects in the group will be enrolled. After all eight subjects have completed the 10 day follow up period, an electronic safety review of the electronic data will be performed. If none of the predefined safety events have occurred DMID will approve enrollment into the second dose group (7.5 mg/kg oxfendazole daily x 5 days) and will be monitored for a total of 7 days each for predefined adverse events prior to enrolling the remaining subjects in the group. After the 10 day follow up period has been completed for group 2, an electronic safety review will be completed and if no predefined events have occurred two sequential subjects (one at a time with 7 days between each subject) will be enrolled into the third dose group (15 mg/kg oxfendazole daily x 5 days) and will be monitored for a total of 7 days each for predefined safety events prior to enrolling the remaining subjects in the group. In the food effects evaluation, 12 subjects will be enrolled into the single dose cross over group where half of the subjects will initially receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole following an 8 hour fast and the other half will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole following a high fat meal. Subjects will then cross over to receive a single dose following a high fat breakfast or fasting period (water is permitted). All subjects will have received a dose of oxfendazole following both a fasting period and a meal. The primary objectives are: 1) To assess the safety of oxfendazole administered daily for five days; and 2) To assess the safety of oxfendazole administered as a single dose with or without food.

PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
 
Title: 
A Phase 1, Open-Label, Multiple Ascending Dose Study of 
Oxfendazole in Healthy Adult Volunteers  
Phase: 
I 
Population: 
Up to 36 healthy males and nonpregnant females, ages 18-45, 
recruited from around Iowa City, IA 
Number of Sites: 
One site, the University of Iowa 
Study Duration: 
Approximately 12 months 
Subject Participation 
Duration: 
Approximately 6 weeks 
Description of Agent or 
Intervention: 
Two to five oral doses of an aqueous suspension of 
oxfendazole, a benzimidazole carbamate antiparasitic drug 
Objectives: 
 
Primary: 
• 
To assess the safety of oxfendazole administered daily 
for five days 
• 
To assess the safety of oxfendazole administered as a 
single dose with or without food 
Secondary: 
• 
To define the multi-dose kinetics of oxfendazole  
• 
To determine the effect of food on the kinetics of 
oxfendazole 
Description of Study 
Design: 
This Phase I study is an open label evaluation of the safety and 
pharmacokinetics of escalating oral doses of oxfendazole (3 
mg/kg, 7.5 mg/kg or 15 mg/kg) given daily for five days in 
healthy volunteers. Up to eight volunteers will be enrolled and 
receive one oral dose of 3 mg/kg given daily for 5 days.  To 
enhance safety, one sentinel subject will be enrolled and 
followed for 7 days for defined safety events.  A second sentinel 
subject will then be enrolled and followed for 7 days.  If no

x 
predefined safety events are identified, the remaining six 
subjects in this group will be enrolled.  All volunteers will be 
followed for 10 days and   pharmacokinetic, safety laboratory 
and EKG studies will be performed as outlined in the study visit 
table in Appendix A.  A safety review of the electronic data will 
be completed and the DMID Medical Monitor will receive a dose 
escalation report from the Statistical and Data Coordinating 
Center (SDCC) including whether dose escalation halt criteria 
were or were not met. If no predefined safety events occur after 
all eight subjects have completed the day 10 visit, the DMID 
Medical Monitor will issue approval to proceed with enrollment 
of the second group of eight subjects will be enrolled to receive 
five days of 7.5 mg/kg of oxfendazole using the same enrollment 
plan as outlined above. If no predefined safety events are 
encountered, the third group of eight subjects will be enrolled to 
receive five days of 15 mg/kg using the same enrollment plan. A 
fourth group of 12 subjects will participate in a single dose cross 
over evaluation of the effects of food on the pharmacokinetics of 
oxfendazole.  Half of these subjects will fast for 8 hours and 
then will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole on day 
1.  The other half will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of 
oxfendazole following a high fat breakfast.  All 12 subjects will 
be followed for seven days and on day 8 each subject will cross 
over to receive drug following a high fat breakfast or following an 
8 hour fast and will be followed for another seven days.  
Pharmacokinetic studies will be performed for 24 hours following 
each dose of oxfendazole.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND SCIENTIFIC 
RATIONALE 
2.1 
Background Information 
The three major soil transmitted helminthes, Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm), Necator 
americanus/Ancylostoma duodenale (hookworms) and Trichuris trichiura (whipworm) are 
among the most prevalent parasites worldwide.  They are highly prevalent in developing 
countries that suffer from poverty and poor sanitation.  It is estimated that these three helminths 
have an overall prevalence of one billion cases worldwide.  Nearly half of these cases result in 
significant morbidity especially affecting young children (1).   Current control measures require 
the periodic administration of one of the four antihelminthics: mebendazole, albendazole, 
levamisole or pyrantel.  Of these drugs, the benzimidazoles (mebendazole and albendazole) are 
the most frequently used antihelminthics.  However, these drugs show varying efficacy against 
the array of human helminths.  Single oral doses of these compounds are highly effective 
against Ascaris lumbricoides, but have significantly less efficacy for hookworms and Trichuris 
trichiura (2). 
 
Oxfendazole (OXF) is a potent, broad-spectrum antihelminthic drug that is approved and 
marketed for veterinary use.  Oxfendazole is currently marketed for use against lungworms and 
enteric helminths in beef livestock. In humans, current benzimidazoles include albendazole and 
mebendazole.  Though all of the benzimidazoles show chemical similarities, the compound 
oxfendazole reaches peak blood levels more slowly following absorption from the intestinal tract 
than many other benzimidazoles, thereby maintaining effective concentrations for a longer time 
in both the serum and intestinal tract.  This prolonged half-life is attractive for pursuing single 
dose therapy for certain helminths including uncomplicated cysticercosis. However, even with 
this more prolonged half-life it is likely that extended therapy will likely be required for the soil 
transmitted helminthes such as Trichuris trichiura and hookworm infections.  Given the 
potentially favorable pharmacokinetics, oxfendazole is an attractive compound for transition to 
human use and animal and human studies outlined below have begun to define the safety and 
pharmacokinetic parameters of this compound.   
2.1.1 Oxfendazole 
2.1.1.1 
Structure and Formulation 
Oxfendazole, or [5-(phenylsulphinyl)-1H-benzimidazole-
2-yl]carbamic acid methyl ester (Synanthic®), was first 
identified in the laboratories of Syntex Research, Palo 
Alto, California, and shown to have anthelminthic 
properties against larval and adult forms of 


DMID 16-0005 Oxfendazole MAD Study 
Version 4.0

4 
gastrointestinal cestodes and nematodes in various animal species (3). The structure consists 
of the benzimidazole carbamate characteristic of this group of drugs, with a phenylsulphinyl 
substituent in position 5 (4). Oxfendazole (Synanthic®) is formulated as an aqueous suspension 
of either 9.06% or 22.5%, manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health.  At the current 
time, only the 22.5% formulation is available, though production of the lower concentration may 
return in the future.    
The introduction of thiabendazole as the first benzimidazole anthelminthic in the early 1960s 
provided a significant advance in veterinary antiparasitic treatment (7). However, thiabendazole 
has a short biological half-life, due to rapid hydroxylation of the 5 (8) position of the 
benzimidazole ring and extensive urinary clearance (9). Further efforts were directed toward the 
production of compounds with a variety of substitutions in this metabolically labile position, 
leading to different pharmacological behavior, and increased potency and spectrum of 
antiparasitic activity (10). The more potent later generations of benzimidazoles include 
fenbendazole, oxfendazole, and albendazole, with efficacy against roundworms, tapeworms, 
and even parasites residing outside the gastrointestinal tract (11). Thiabendazole, mebendazole 
and albendazole are currently approved and marketed in the US for treatment of helminth 
infections in humans.  
2.1.1.2 
Mechanism of Action 
Benzimidazoles appear to have multiple molecular mechanisms of action. They interfere with 
bioenergetics in the parasite by inhibiting glucose transport and the fumarate reductase 
reaction, as well as restricting glucose uptake (11). They also alter the tubulin-microtubule 
equilibrium, by binding at the colchicine site in the tubulin dimer (12). Inhibition of tubulin 
polymerization induces disintegration of the microtubular network in parasites (13).  
2.1.1.3 
Prediction of Human No Effect Dose from Chronic Toxicology 
and Carcinogenicity Studies 
No effect dose in chronic preclinical toxicology studies 
Oxfendazole has been evaluated in numerous safety and toxicology studies in ruminants as well 
as in more traditional preclinical species.  The results of the most important chronic toxicology 
studies, with doses adjusted for surface area, are summarized and projected to human doses 
below.

2.1.1.4 
Animal Safety  
The potential cardiovascular or toxicity effects of oxfendazole (OXF) were investigated after 
drug administration to beagle dogs (14).  Following administration of single oral doses of 
oxfendazole at 0, 5, 25 or 100 mg/kg, no changes in body weight, body temperature, clinical 
laboratory evaluations (hematology, serum chemistry, and coagulation studies), changes in vital 
signs (blood pressure, heart rate) or changes in electrocardiogram evaluations were noted. 
A two week toxicology study of oxfendazole administered orally to rats at doses from 0-200 
mg/kg, was recently performed (15).  There were no changes in feeding, behavior or 
physiological measurements (15).  Animals in the highest dose groups were euthanized on day 
8 because of severe toxicity and mortality.  Females had a higher incidence of mortality and 
more severe adverse effects than did males administered the same dose; correspondingly 
higher OXF exposure was found in females than in males. At the higher doses, WBC depletion 
was dose related, being severe in females at the highest dose.  WBC recovered when OXF 
administration was suspended. Target organs of toxicity were bone marrow, epididymis, liver, 
spleen, testis and thymus.  Hepatic midzonal fatty change was present in male and female rats 
administered the higher doses; these changes were still present after a 14-day recovery period. 
However, no effects on liver enzymes were seen in the clinical chemistry results, suggesting 
that these effects did not result in overt hepatotoxicity or compromised hepatic function; 
therefore, the toxicologic significance of this observation is unclear. 
Several toxicology studies were performed at the time of Synanthic® approval.  In single dose 
toxicology studies in mice, rats and dogs.  One rat that received a dose of 6400 mg/kg, orally 
died from enteropathy.  In subchronic toxicology studies in which rats and dogs were dosed 
over a two week period at doses ranging from 11-200 mg/kg, orally, decreases in neutrophil 
count, hemoglobin and hematocrit were seen at the higher doses, as were pathological changes 
in the liver (with hepatocyte vacuolation), gastroenteropathy, testes, bone marrow, liver, spleen, 
and thymus.  Toxicology studies demonstrated mild hepatotoxicity in rats fed 2.1 or 7 mg/kg

6 
daily for a year (16).  Similar dog studies showed no toxicity (16).  Fetotoxicity was noted in rats 
and mice (16).  
2.1.2 Human Phase I Safety and Pharmacokinetics 
A recent dose escalation study has been performed evaluating 70 healthy adult men and 
women of non-child bearing potential who were age 18-45 (NCT02234570, DMID 12-0053, 
unpublished). Seven dose groups were studied (0.5, 1, 3, 7.5, 15, 30 and 60 mg/kg) and each 
dose group was comprised of 10 subjects of whom eight received study drug and two received 
placebo.  All subjects received a single dose of study drug or placebo and were followed for 14 
days for safety and the pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole and metabolites including 
fenbendazole and oxfendazole sulfone were evaluated in blood and urine.  There were no study 
drug associated serious adverse events identified.  Sixteen unsolicited adverse events were 
experienced by 10 subjects.  Six were considered related to the study treatment.  Five of the 
events were mild and included one subject with an increased PR interval 14 days following the 
dose of study drug, and the remaining events were gastrointestinal events (nausea, loose 
stools, intestinal gas, and diarrhea, all of which occurred in the 30 or 60 mg/kg dose groups.  
There was one event, a sore throat that was considered moderate in intensity.  Mild to moderate 
laboratory events were seen in hematology and chemistry tests.  There were no patterns 
identified related to timing of the abnormal laboratory studies or dose of oxfendazole and the 
placebo group had similar rates of abnormal laboratory values.   
The median time of maximum concentration (Tmax) occurred at 2 hours and the geometric mean 
maximum concentration (Cmax) ranged from 943.9-6768.4 ng/mL.  The exposure was non-linear, 
plateauing at 15 mg/kg.  The half-life (t 1/2) was consistent between groups and ranged from 8.5-
11 hours.  The overall fraction of drug excreted in the urine was very low and the geometric 
mean AUC0-t for the sulfone metabolite was 11.5-15% of oxfendazole AUC0-t while fenbendazole 
AUC0-t was less than 1% of oxfendazole AUC0-t for each dose group. 
2.2 
Rationale 
The first Phase 1 study outlined above demonstrated the safety of a single dose of oxfendazole 
and established the pharmacokinetic parameters for the drug.  Though single dose therapy for 
some helminths may be adequate, more resistant soil transmitted species such as Necatur 
americanus and Trichuris trichiura and even more complicated neurocysticercosis may require 
extended therapy.  The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and pharmacokinetic 
activity of multiple doses of oxfendazole.  In this study, three dose levels each given daily for 
five days will be studied in a dose escalation design.    
The other important parameter that remains unanswered is the effect of food on the absorption 
of oxfendazole.  Therefore, this study will also include an arm that includes a single dose cross 
over design in which individuals will receive drug following an 8 hour fast or following a high fat 
meal.

2.3 
Potential Risks and Benefits 
2.3.1 Potential Risks 
 
Oxfendazole has been studied in a single human phase I trial in doses that are similar to those 
proposed in this study.  Seventy healthy adults were evaluated in a dose escalation trial where 
each individual received a single dose of oxfendazole with dosage levels ranging from 0.5 to 60 
mg/kg.  The drug was well tolerated though a few subjects experienced mild gastrointestinal 
symptoms (mild nausea and short duration diarrhea) seen on the day of dosing in the 30 mg/kg 
and 60 mg/kg dosage levels.  One individual had a grade 1 increase in the PR interval seen on 
EKG 14 days after the study drug had been administered.  Fifteen subjects reported 37 
abnormal hematology results, 27 were mild, 7 were moderate and 3 were severe.  All three 
severe results were elevated APTT levels experienced by a single subject who had the 
abnormal PTT prior to receiving study drug.  He was evaluated and found to have an acquired 
factor XI or XII deficiency that was not related to study drug.  A total of 64 abnormal 
biochemistry results were reported by 34 subjects of which 58 were mild and 6 were moderate.  
There was no association between the timing of study drug the dose of study drug, and the 
placebo group demonstrated similar rates of abnormal laboratory tests and all abnormalities 
resolved.   
 
There are approved antiparasitic agents that have chemical similarities to oxfendazole.  A single 
dose of the approved antiparasitic agent albendazole in humans is largely without side effects. 
More prolonged courses have been associated with liver abnormalities and bone marrow 
suppression. Albendazole has also been associated with headache, gastrointestinal side effects 
(abdominal pain and nausea) in less than 10 % of subjects as well as rare allergic reactions 
(rash, urticaria, Stevens-Johnson syndrome) in less than 1 %.  
 
In animal studies, lower OXF doses and shorter periods of administration similarly result in no 
observable toxicity.  At higher doses, the principal target organs are bone marrow and liver, 
WBC count rapidly recovers when OXF administration is discontinued.  
In animal studies, fetotoxicity was reported and changes in the testes were seen.  
 
Subjects will be closely monitored by history, physical examination and laboratory tests to 
assess safety and tolerability. Subjects will be carefully monitored for AEs and blood studies will 
be monitored to assess for any changes in the complete blood counts, liver and renal function 
and coagulation factors. As for any experimental drug, there may be side effects of oxfendazole 
that are not presently known. EKG studies will be performed to assess for cardiac effects. 
 
Men will be counseled to use condoms and women will be counseled to avoid pregnancy 
attempts for 4 months following drug administration. It is unknown if Oxfendazole pose any risks 
to an unborn child.  
 
There are no significant side effects from electrocardiogram (EKG) other than cosmetic 
annoyance from the glue employed to hold the leads. Venipuncture can result in pain or 
discomfort, and less likely, the possibility of bruising, or infection at the site, or fainting. Loss of 
confidential health information could occur.

Subjects will be asked to provide personal health information (PHI).  All attempts will be made to 
keep this PHI confidential within the limits of the law.  However, there is a chance that 
unauthorized persons will see the subjects’ PHI.  All records will be kept in a locked file cabinet 
or maintained in a locked room at the participating VTEU sites.  Electronic files will be password 
protected.  Only people who are involved in the conduct, oversight, monitoring, or auditing of 
this study will be allowed access to the PHI that is collected.  Any publications from this study 
will not use information that will identify subjects by name. Organizations that may inspect 
and/or copy research records maintained at the participating VTEU sites for quality assurance 
and data analysis include groups such as: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases 
(NIAID) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There may be other unknown side effects. 
2.3.2 Known Potential Benefits 
There is no known benefit to this study product.  However, oxfendazole has antiparasitic activity 
in animals and may have similar activities in humans.  There is the potential that participation in 
this study could have societal benefits as knowledge about new antiparasitic agents could help 
in the creation of new drugs for difficult to treat helminthic infections.

STUDY DESIGN 
This Phase I study is an open label multiple ascending dose evaluation of the safety and PK of 
oxfendazole (3, 7.5, or 15 mg/kg) in healthy adult men and nonpregnant women aged 18-45 
(inclusive) followed by a single dose cross over trial evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics 
of a single dose of oxfendazole (3 mg/kg) given following an 8 hour fast or following a high fat 
meal. In the multiple ascending dose evaluation, each dose group will be comprised of eight 
volunteers.  In the food effects evaluation, evaluating the effects of food on drug absorption, 12 
subjects will be enrolled into the single dose cross over group where half of the subjects will 
initially receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole following an 8 hour fast and the other 
half will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole following a high fat meal. Subjects will 
then cross over to receive a single dose following a high fat breakfast or fasting period (water is 
permitted).  All subjects will have received a single dose of oxfendazole (3 mg/kg) following both 
a fasting period and a meal.   
 
For the multiple ascending dose evaluation, each subject in the first dose group (3 mg/kg) will 
receive an oral daily dose of oxfendazole for five sequential days and will be monitored for a 
total of 10 days.  Each subject will be followed with blood, urine and EKG studies for safety and 
will provide plasma samples for oxfendazole PK studies as outlined in the study visit schedule in 
Appendix A.  To enhance safety, one sentinel subject will be dosed for five days and monitored 
for 7 days from the time of the first dose for predefined adverse events, which will include any 
drug related SAEs, any study drug-related Grade 3 AEs or laboratory abnormalities or two study 
drug-related Grade 2 AEs or laboratory abnormalities in the same laboratory parameter.  If there 
are no predefined safety events, a second sentinel subject will be enrolled and followed for a 
total of 7 days.  If there are no predefined safety signals identified for either of these two sentinel 
subjects, the remaining subjects in the group will be enrolled. 
 
After all eight subjects have completed the 10 day follow up period, an electronic safety review 
of the electronic data will be performed and the SDCC will issue a report to DMID stating that 
the predefined halting rules have or have not been met. If none of the predefined safety events 
(any study drug related SAE, any study drug related Grade 3 AE or laboratory abnormality or 
two study drug related Grade 2 AEs or laboratory abnormalities in the same laboratory 
parameter have occurred (one study drug related two sequential subjects (one at a time with 7 
days between each subject) DMID will approve enrollment into the second dose group (7.5 
mg/kg oxfendazole daily x 5 days) and will be monitored for a total of 7 days each for predefined 
adverse events prior to enrolling the remaining subjects in the group.  After the 10 day follow up 
period has been completed for group 2, an electronic safety review will be completed and if no 
predefined events have occurred two sequential subjects (one at a time with 7 days between 
each subject) will be enrolled into the third dose group (15 mg/kg oxfendazole daily x 5 days) 
and will be monitored for a total of 7 days each for predefined safety events prior to enrolling the 
remaining subjects in the group.  
 
 
For the multiple ascending dose evaluation, between 8 and 24 subjects will be enrolled. This 
number should be small enough to perform the study safely and efficiently, yet large enough for 
an estimation of the oxfendazole PK and the identification of any common side effects of 
oxfendazole following multiple doses.

During the screening process written informed consent will be obtained prior to any study 
activities.  A complete medical history will be obtained including review of medications, 
supplements and vitamins. Vital signs including oral temperature, blood pressure, pulse, height, 
weight and an EKG will be performed and a routine physical exam will be performed by a 
licensed clinician. Laboratory tests for hemoglobin, white blood cell count with neutrophil, 
platelet count, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 
total bilirubin, random glucose, urine dipstick for protein and glucose, INR and partial 
thromboplastin time (PTT), hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C antibody, and human 
immunodeficiency virus serology (HIV). Eligible subjects will be invited to join the study.  They 
will be advised to abstain from drug or alcohol use for the 48 hours prior to return on Day 1 and 
to avoid tobacco use from the day of screening through the end of the study. 
 
On study day 1, a review of the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be conducted with subjects and 
vital signs, including oral temperature, blood pressure and pulse will be obtained.  A review of 
medication history since the screening visit will be obtained and a physical exam will be 
performed by a licensed clinician.   Blood will be drawn for baseline PK and safety laboratory 
tests (hemoglobin, white blood cell count with neutrophil, platelet count, creatinine, Na, K, Cl, 
CO2, blood urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 
INR and PTT, total bilirubin, and urine dipstick for protein and glucose).   
Subjects will be administered oxfendazole by a study nurse or investigator on days 1, 2, 3, 4 
and 5. Subjects will be fasting (water is permitted) for eight hours prior to, and for two hours 
after, the administration of drug.  On the 1st and 5th day of drug administration intensive blood 
sampling will be performed for PK studies (pre-dose and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 
hours following the dose).  On days 2, 3 and 4, blood sampling for PK studies will be performed 
prior to each dose and 2 hours after each dose. On day 6, blood sampling for PK studies will be 
performed approximately 24 hours following the dose on day 5. Monitoring will start immediately 
after dosing and will continue for 10 days.  Safety laboratories will be performed on days 1, 3, 5, 
8 and 10.  EKG studies will be performed at screening, two hours after doses on days 1, 3 and 
5, and day 8.  Subjects will be interviewed to monitor for AEs and SAEs.  Blood sampling for PK 
studies will be performed on days 8 and 10. In addition, prior to study drug administration on 
days 2-5, if subjects self-report any new signs or symptoms a targeted physical exam may be 
performed, if indicated, and the new signs or symptoms will be recorded as an AE or SAE as 
appropriate.  
 
Following blood sampling performed on each day of dosing, subjects will be allowed to return 
home.  Subjects will be counseled to avoid drug, alcohol and tobacco use through the end of the 
study (Day 10 for groups 1-3 and Day 14 for group 4).  
 
In the food effects evaluation, 12 subjects will be enrolled into the single dose cross over group. 
Group 4 can be enrolled concurrently with groups 1, 2, and 3. In group 4, half of the subjects will 
receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole following an 8 hour fast and the other half will 
receive a single dose following a high fat meal.  Each subject will be followed with safety 
laboratories, EKGs and PK studies for 7 days at which time they will cross over to receive a 
single dose of oxfendazole (3mg/kg) following either a high fat meal or following an 8 hour fast.

Individuals will be followed for 7 days after this second dose.  During the food effects evaluation, 
each subject will receive study drug following a fast or a high fat meal.  This will allow direct 
comparison for an individual as to the effect of food on the PK parameters of the study drug.   
Individuals will have EKG studies will be performed at screening, and two hours after dosing on 
days 1 and 8. Safety laboratories will be performed on day 1, 4 and 14.  Blood sampling for PK 
studies will be performed (pre-dose and 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 24 hours following 
each dose and on day 14).  
  
The study will be conducted on an outpatient basis at the University of Iowa. Screening for 
subject recruitment will continue throughout the study until the requisite number of volunteers is 
enrolled. Each subject will be evaluated over a 10-14 day period. Projected duration of subject 
participation will be 3-6 weeks of face-to-face visits, including the screening period.  It is 
anticipated that it will take 12 months to finish the study.

eosinophils) will not be considered exclusionary for this study and will be followed with the 
standard safety laboratory follow-up outlined in the protocol.  Laboratory values that are 
performed as a standard panel by the clinical laboratory, but are not requested for the study, will 
be reviewed by a licensed study clinician and the clinician will determine whether the laboratory 
abnormality is clinically significant and should be considered exclusionary. If determined to be 
clinically insignificant, the study team is not required to follow the laboratory until resolution or 
the value is determined to be clinically stable. 
5.3 
Treatment Assignment Procedures 
 
5.3.1 
Enrollment and Randomization Procedures 
Per International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice 
(GCP), screening records will be kept at the participating site to document the reason why an 
individual was screened, but failed trial entry criteria. The reasons why individuals failed 
screening will be recorded in the SDCC’s AdvantageEDCSM (Electronic Data Capture system). 
 
Once consented, the subject will be enrolled by entry of demographic data and confirmation of 
eligibility for the trial. This is an open label study and subjects will be enrolled sequentially into 
groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 until each group has been completely enrolled.  Enrollment of subjects will 
be done online using the enrollment module of AdvantageEDCSM. AdvantageEDCSM will 
generate a treatment number for each subject after the demographic and eligibility data have 
been entered into the system.  
All participants in group 4 will receive oxfendazole in two conditions: after a high-fat breakfast 
and after fasting (separated by one week).  The order of conditions will be randomly assigned 
upon enrollment in a 1:1 ratio. The randomization code will be prepared by statisticians at the 
SDCC and included in the enrollment module for the trial.  When the subject is randomized and 
enrolled, AdvantageEDCSM will generate a treatment assignment number.  
 
Instructions for use of the enrollment module are included in the AdvantageEDCSM User’s 
Guide. Manual back-up procedures and instructions are provided for use in the event that the 
site temporarily loses access to the Internet or the online enrollment system is unavailable. 
  
5.3.2 Masking Procedures 
There is no masking planned for this study.

5.4 
Withdrawal 
5.4.1 
Reasons for Withdrawal and Discontinuation of Study Product 
Administration 
 
Subjects may voluntarily withdraw their consent for study participation at any time and for any 
reason, without penalty. 
Any enrolled subject may withdraw or be withdrawn from the study for the following reasons: 
• 
Medical disease or condition, or any new clinical findings for which continued 
participation, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-
investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject, or would interfere with the 
subject's successful completion of the study, or would interfere with the evaluation of 
responses. 
• 
Subject no longer meets eligibility criteria. 
• 
As deemed necessary by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-
investigator for noncompliance or other reasons. 
• 
Subject withdrawal of consent. 
• 
Subject lost to follow-up. 
• 
Termination of the study. 
• 
New information becomes available that makes further participation unsafe. 
If a subject withdraws or is withdrawn prior to completion of the study, the reason for this 
decision must be recorded in the case report forms (CRFs).  Refer to Section 7.8 for procedures 
to be followed if a subject withdraws from the study. 
 
For the multiple ascending dose groups, if the subject develops a study drug related SAE or 
grade 3 AE or laboratory abnormality during the five days of study drug administration, study 
drug will be discontinued though the subject will continue with safety monitoring through the 
completion of the study.  If the subject in the food effect study develops a study drug related 
SAE or grade 3 AE or laboratory abnormality during the seven days following the first dose of 
the study drug, they will be discontinued from receiving the second dose of study drug, though 
the subject will continue with safety monitoring through the completion of the study.   
 
5.4.2 Handling of Withdrawals 
The primary reason for withdrawal from the study will be recorded on the Study Status data 
collection form.  Subjects will be encouraged to complete the Early Termination Visit.  The Early

 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 
18 
Termination Visit procedures are listed in Section 7.8.  Although subjects are free to withdraw at 
any time or may be withdrawn by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator at 
any time, subjects who receive study drug will be encouraged to remain in the study for follow-
up safety assessments and collection of venous blood samples for safety testing.  Every attempt 
will be made to follow all adverse events, including systemic reactions, serious adverse events, 
ongoing at the time of early withdrawal to resolution. 
In the case of subjects who fail to appear for a follow-up safety assessment, extensive effort 
(i.e., three documented contact attempts via phone calls, e-mails, etc., made on separate 
occasions and followed by a certified letter) will be made to locate or recall them, or at least to 
determine their health status.  These efforts will be documented in the subject’s records. 
Subjects who withdraw, or are withdrawn or terminated from the study, or are lost to follow-up 
after signing the informed consent form, randomization, and receipt of 3 or more doses of study 
drug will not be replaced.  If the subject has only received two or fewer doses of study drug prior 
to termination from the study, the subject will be replaced. If a subject vomits more than two 
doses (i.e. if vomiting occurs within 1 hour of study drug administration and the subject vomits 
on two days or more), the subject will be replaced. Additionally, if the subject vomits within 1 
hour after the receipt of the dose on day 1, the subject will be replaced.  No more than two 
subjects will be replaced in any group.  Unless prohibited by the volunteer, data and samples 
obtained prior to withdrawal will be included in study analysis. Subjects who withdraw, or are 
withdrawn or terminated from the study, or are lost to follow-up after signing the informed 
consent form and enrollment but before receipt of study product may be replaced. If a subject in 
Group 4 is lost to follow up after the first dose, the subject will be replaced. 
 
5.5 
Termination of Study  
The NIAID/DMID has the right to terminate this study at any time.  Reasons for terminating the 
study may include, but are not limited to, the following: 
• 
Incidence or severity of AEs indicating a potential health hazard 
• 
Data recording is inaccurate or incomplete 
• 
The Investigator has not been adhering to the protocol or applicable regulatory 
guidelines in conducting the study

6.5 
Assessment of Subject Compliance with Study 
Intervention/Investigational Product  
Oral intake of the study product by the subject will be observed by study personnel.  Subjects 
will be provided the dose in an oral dosing syringe.  Immediately following administration of the 
dosethe subject will drink 100 mL of water to assure the entire dose is ingested.  If vomiting 
occurs on the day of dosing and occurs at any time following ingestion of the study product, the 
dose for that day will not be replaced and subject will continue to be followed for safety and 
pharmacokinetic analyses.  
 
6.6 
Concomitant Medications/Treatments 
It is the goal of this study to enroll subjects who are healthy and on no chronic medications.  
Subjects will be counseled to refrain from taking prescription medications other than topical 
agents during the study period.  If a prescription is authorized by their primary care provider or 
other licensed medical provider, we will counsel them to discuss the medication with the study 
team prior to starting the medication.   One of the licensed clinical providers from the study team 
will help determine whether the prescription medication can be postponed until the study is 
completed. Additionally, subjects will be counseled to avoid all over the counter medications 
unless absolutely necessary and will be asked to consult with a study investigator prior to use of 
over the counter medications.  Subjects will be counseled to avoid acetaminophen since this 
medication can be associated with hepatotoxicity.   
Administration of any medications, therapies, or vaccines will be recorded on the appropriate 
data collection form.  Concomitant medications will include all current medications and 
medications taken within 30 days prior to signing the informed consent form through the last day 
of the study visit schedule.  Prescription and over-the-counter drugs will be included as well as 
vitamins and supplements. 
Use of new medication should prompt evaluation for the presence of a new diagnosis of chronic 
medical disease or chronic medical condition.

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY 
9.1 
Specification of Safety Parameters 
Safety outcome measures are defined in Section 3.2 and include the rate of SAEs and non-
serious severe AEs. 
9.2 
Methods and Timing for Assessing, Recording, and Analyzing 
Safety Parameters 
9.2.1 Adverse Events 
 
Adverse Event:   
ICH E6 defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation 
subject administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of its causal relationship to the study 
treatment.  An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of medicinal 
(investigational) product.  The occurrence of an AE may come to the attention of study 
personnel during study visits and interviews of a study recipient presenting for medical care, or 
upon review by a study monitor.  
All AEs including local and systemic reactions not meeting the criteria for “serious adverse 
events” should be captured on the appropriate CRF.  Information to be collected includes event 
description, time of onset, clinician’s assessment of severity, relationship to study product 
(assessed only by those with the training and authority to make a diagnosis, which would 
include MD, PA, Nurse Practitioner, DO, or DDS), and time of resolution/stabilization of the 
event.  All AEs occurring while on study must be documented appropriately regardless of 
relationship.  All AEs will be followed to adequate resolution.  
Any medical condition that is present at the time that the patient is screened should be 
considered as baseline and not reported as an AE.  However, if it deteriorates at any time 
during the study, it should be recorded as an AE. 
All AEs must be graded for severity and relationship to study product.  
FDA defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in 
humans, whether or not considered drug related. 


DMID 16-0005 Oxfendazole MAD Study 
Version 4.0 
24July2017 
 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________  
 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 
36 
Severity of Event:  All AEs will be assessed by the clinician using a protocol defined grading 
system.  For events not included in the protocol defined grading system, than the following 
guidelines will be used to quantify intensity.  
Grade 1:  Mild:  events require minimal or no treatment and do not interfere with the patient’s 
daily activities. 
Grade 2:  Moderate:  events result in a low level of inconvenience or concern with the 
therapeutic measures. Moderate events may cause some interference with functioning. 
Grade 3:  Severe:  events interrupt a patient’s usual daily activity and may require systemic drug 
therapy or other treatment. Severe events are usually incapacitating. 
Changes in the severity of an AE should be documented to allow an assessment of the duration 
of the event at each level of intensity to be performed.  Adverse events characterized as 
intermittent require documentation of onset and duration of each episode. 
Relationship to Study Products:  The clinician’s assessment of an AE's relationship to test 
article (vaccine or study drug) is part of the documentation process, but it is not a factor in 
determining what is or is not reported in the study.  If there is any doubt as to whether a clinical 
observation is an AE, the event should be reported.  All AEs must have their relationship to 
study product assessed using the terms:  related or not related.  In a clinical trial, the study 
product must always be suspect.  To help assess, the following guidelines are used. 
• 
Related – There is a reasonable possibility that the study product caused the adverse event. 
Reasonable possibility means that there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship 
between the study product and the adverse event. 
• 
Not Related – There is not a reasonable possibility that the administration of the study 
product caused the event. 
9.2.2 Serious Adverse Events 
Serious Adverse Event (SAE):  
An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is considered “serious” if, in the view of either 
the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes:  
• 
Death, 
• 
 a life-threatening adverse event*,  
• 
inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization,  
• 
a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal 
life functions, or  


DMID 16-0005 Oxfendazole MAD Study 
Version 4.0 
24July2017 
 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________  
 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 
37 
• 
a congenital anomaly/birth defect.   
• 
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalizations may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical 
judgment they may jeopardize the patient or 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, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient 
hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse. 
* Life-threatening adverse event. An adverse event is considered “life-threatening” if, in the view 
of either the investigator or sponsor, its occurrence places the patient or subject at immediate 
risk of death.  It does not include an adverse event, had it occurred in a more severe form, might 
have caused death. 
All SAEs will be: 
• 
recorded on the appropriate SAE CRF 
• 
followed through resolution by a study clinician 
• 
reviewed and evaluated by a study clinician 
9.2.3 Procedures to be Followed in the Event of Abnormal Laboratory 
Test Values or Abnormal Clinical Findings 
The site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator is responsible for reporting all 
AE/SAEs that are observed or reported during the study, regardless of the relationship to study 
product.  All clinically significant EKG abnormalities will be reported as an AE.   
AE/SAEs, abnormal clinical laboratory test values or clinically significant EKG changes, or 
abnormal clinical findings will be documented, reported, and followed until the event has 
resolved or has stabilized.  
If baseline clinical labs fall within Grade 1 parameters, then an AE is reported only if the value 
changes such that it falls into Grade 2 or higher at subsequent visits. For laboratory results that 
are abnormal according to the local laboratory reference range, but not considered a Grade 1 
abnormality, these will not be considered AEs and will thus not be graded, but will be followed-
up clinically at the discretion of the study site physician. 
  
9.3 
Reporting Procedures 
AEs will be documented from the time of receipt of study drug on Day 1 (Visit 02) through the 
final study visit (approximately 10 or 14 days after receipt of study product). 
SAEs will be documented from the time of receipt of study drug on Day 1 (Visit 02) through the 
final study visit.

 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 
38 
AEs will be followed until resolution even if this extends beyond the study-reporting period.  
Resolution of an AE is defined as the return to pretreatment status or stabilization of the 
condition with the expectation that it will remain chronic.  
 
9.3.1 Serious Adverse Events 
 
Any AE that meets a protocol-defined serious criterion must be submitted immediately 
(within 24 hours of site awareness) on an SAE form to the DMID Pharmacovigilance 
Group, at the following address:  
 
DMID Pharmacovigilance Group 
Clinical Research Operations and Management Support (CROMS) 
6500 Rock Spring Dr. Suite 650 
Bethesda, MD 20817, USA 
SAE Hot Line: 1-800-537-9979 (US) or 1-301-897-1709 (outside US) 
SAE FAX Phone Number: 1-800-275-7619 (US) or 1-301-897-1710 (outside US) 
SAE Email Address: PVG@dmidcroms.com 
 
Other supporting documentation of the event may be requested by the DMID 
Pharmacovigilance Group and should be provided as soon as possible.  
 
The DMID medical monitor and clinical protocol manager will be notified of the SAE by the 
DMID Pharmacovigilance Group.  The DMID medical monitor will review and assess the SAE 
for regulatory reporting and potential impact on study subject safety and protocol conduct.  
 
At any time after completion of the study, if the investigator becomes aware of an SAE that is 
suspected to be related to study product, the investigator will report the event to the DMID 
Pharmacovigilance Group.  
9.3.2 Regulatory Reporting for Studies Conducted Under 
DMID-Sponsored IND 
Following notification from the investigator, DMID, the IND sponsor, will report any suspected 
adverse reaction that is both serious and unexpected.  DMID will report an adverse event as a 
suspected adverse reaction only if there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship between 
the drug and the adverse event.  DMID will notify FDA and all participating investigators (i.e., all 
investigators to whom the sponsor is providing drug under its INDs or under any investigator’s 
IND) in an IND safety report of potential serious risks from clinical trials or any other source, as 
soon as possible, but in no case later than 15 calendar days after the sponsor determines that 
the information qualifies for reporting as specified in 21 CFR Part 312.32. DMID will also notify 
FDA of any unexpected fatal or life-threatening suspected adverse reaction as soon as possible 
but in no case later than 7 calendar days after the sponsor’s initial receipt of the information. 
Relevant follow up information to an IND safety report will be submitted as soon as the 
information is available.  Upon request from FDA, DMID will submit to FDA any additional data

or information that the agency deems necessary, as soon as possible, but in no case later than 
15 calendar days after receiving the request. 
All serious events designated as “not related” to study product(s), will be reported to the FDA at 
least annually in a summary format.

DMID-Sponsored IND 
N/A. 
9.3.4 Other Adverse Events (if applicable) 
N/A 
9.3.5 
Reporting of Pregnancy 
Pregnancies occurring in study subjects will be reported in IDES. No further study medication 
will be administered to pregnant subjects, but all study-mandated blood samples will be 
obtained and the subject will continue in follow-up for safety events. Pregnancies will be 
followed to pregnancy outcome pending the subject’s permission. 
9.4 
Type and Duration of Follow-up of Subjects after Adverse 
Events 
AEs and SAEs will be followed from the time of the first receipt of study drug Day 1 (Visit 02) 
through the last subject’s study visit.  
AEs and SAEs will be followed until resolution even if this extends beyond the study-reporting 
period.  Resolution of an AE/SAE is defined as the return to pretreatment status or stabilization 
of the condition with the expectation that it will remain chronic. 
If the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator becomes aware of a sign or 
symptom and the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator decides to bring the 
subject in for an evaluation to determine etiology, then the site principal investigator or 
appropriate sub-investigator, at their own discretion, can determine what further testing is 
appropriate. 
Follow-up procedures, evaluations, and outcomes will be recorded on the appropriate data 
collection form. 
9.5 
Halting Rules 
9.5.1 
Sentinel Subject Halting Rules 
For each of the multiple dose ascending groups (Groups 1-3), one sentinel subject will be dosed 
and monitored for 7 days after receiving the first dose of study product. If there are no

•         any study drug related grade 3 AE or laboratory abnormality   
•         any two Grade 2 AE or laboratory abnormalities of the same laboratory parameter 
that are study drug related 
then the remaining subjects in each group may be enrolled.  
9.5.2 
Dose Escalation Halting Criteria 
Prior to dose escalation to the next cohort, the Statistical and Data Coordinating Center (SDCC) 
will notify the study PIs, DMID medical monitor (MM), and DMID Independent Safety Monitor 
(ISM) whether the below dose escalation criterion were met.  Following enrollment and 10 days 
of safety follow up of the eight subjects in the dose group.  
Dose escalation will not proceed if any of the following dose escalation criteria occur:  
•         any study drug related SAE  
•         any study drug related grade 3 AE or laboratory abnormality   
•         any two Grade 2 AE or laboratory abnormalities of the same laboratory parameter  
In addition to these criteria, dose escalation may also stop for other reasons per the advice of 
the SMC, ISM, or DMID Medical Monitor for further evaluation, discussion, and 
recommendations from the SMC.  
If the above dose escalation halting criteria are NOT met, the dose escalation may proceed with 
agreement of DMID.   
9.5.3 
Study Halting Rules 
Enrollment, dosing and study procedures will be halted for SMC review/recommendation if any 
of the following are reported: 
• 
Any death occurring after administration of study drug through the subject’s last study

meetings may be held.  The SMC will operate under the rules of a DMID-approved charter that 
will be written at the organizational meeting of the SMC.  At this time, each data element that 
the SMC needs to assess will be clearly defined.  The SMC will advise DMID of its findings. 
 
9.6.1 
Independent Safety Monitor (ISM) 
The ISM is a physician with relevant expertise whose primary responsibility is to provide 
independent safety monitoring in a timely fashion. The ISM will review SAEs and other AEs as 
needed and provide an independent assessment to DMID. The University of Iowa will have an 
ISM with experience in infectious diseases or internal medicine. 
9.6.2 
Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) 
The SMC is an independent group of experts that advises DMID and the study investigators for 
many Phase 1 and smaller Phase 2 trials.  The primary responsibility of the SMC is to monitor 
subject safety.  The SMC is external to DMID, composed of at least three voting members.  The 
SMC will consist of members with appropriate expertise to contribute to the interpretation of the 
data from this trial. Its activities will be delineated in an SMC charter that will delineate 
membership, responsibilities, and the scope and frequency of data reviews.   
The SMC will operate on a conflict-free basis independently of the study team. DMID and the 
SMC may convene ad hoc meetings of the SMC according to protocol criteria or if there are 
concerns that arise during the study.  The ISM or principal investigator may request DMID to 
convene an ad hoc SMC meeting if a safety concern is identified.  A computerized system will 
be used to acquire any data regarding halting criteria throughout the study.  If any of the halting 
rules are met, the study will not proceed with the remaining enrollments without a review by the 
SMC.  After its assessment, the SMC will recommend continuation, modification, or termination 
of the clinical trial.  The SMC will have access to unblinded data during its closed session.   
  
The SMC will review and discuss safety data at the following milestones:  
 
• 
The SMC will review available safety data for Groups 1-3, after the third study group 
has completed the day 10 study visit.  Ad hoc review: may be in response to an 
anticipated safety issue such as a dose escalation or study halting rule being met.  
 
 
• 
Final review meeting: 6 to 8 months after clinical database lock to review the 
cumulative unblinded safety data for the study.  The data will be provided in a 
standard summary format.  The SMC may be asked to provide recommendations in 
response to questions posed by DMID.

CLINICAL MONITORING 
10.1 Site Monitoring Plan 
Site monitoring will be conducted to ensure that human subject protection, study procedures, 
laboratory procedures, study intervention administration, and data collection processes are of 
high quality and meet sponsor, ICH/GCP guidelines and applicable regulatory requirements, 
and that the study is conducted in accordance with the protocol and sponsor’s standard 
operating procedures. The DMID or its designee will conduct site-monitoring visits as specified 
in the monitoring plan. 
Monitoring visits will include, but are not limited to, review of regulatory files, accountability 
records, CRFs, informed consent forms, medical and laboratory reports, and protocol 
compliance. Study monitors will meet with investigators to discuss any problems and actions to 
be taken and document visit findings and discussions.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
This is an open-label Phase I study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole in 
healthy males and nonpregnant females, ages 18-45.  The primary objectives are to assess the 
safety of oxfendazole administered daily for five days and to assess the safety of oxfendazole 
administered as a single dose with or without food.  The secondary objectives are to define the 
multi-dose kinetics of oxfendazole and to determine the effect of food on the kinetics of 
oxfendazole. 
Primary endpoints: 
1. The rate of adverse events (AEs) related to oxfendazole within 10 days of receipt of 
oxfendazole given for 5 sequential, daily oral doses of either 3, 7.5 or 15 mg/kg 
 
2. The rate of adverse events (AEs) related to oxfendazole within 7 days of receipt of 
oxfendazole given as a single daily dose either following an 8 hour fast or following a 
high fat meal. 
 
 
Secondary endpoints: 
1. Plasma Cmax, Tmax, AUC, T1/2 of oxfendazole at specified time points following each 
dose of a 5 day daily regimen of either 3, 7.5 or 15 mg/kg 
 
2. Plasma Cmax, Tmax, AUC, T1/2 of oxfendazole at specified time points following a single 
dose of oxfendazole administered after an 8 hour fast or after a high fat meal. 
 
11.1 Study Hypotheses 
The primary objective of this study will be assessed through estimation rather than hypothesis 
testing, as this is a Phase I study with small sample sizes.  The study includes eight subjects in 
each of the first three cohorts and twelve subjects in the fourth cohort. 
The secondary objective of defining the multi-dose kinetics of oxfendazole will be assessed 
using a descriptive analysis with no formal hypothesis test. For the secondary objective of the 
determination of the effect of food on the kinetics of oxfendazole, equivalence between the 
fasting (water is permitted) and fed conditions will be tested using 90% confidence intervals and 
80-125% equivalence limits for AUC0-, AUC0-24, and Cmax in accordance with FDA guidance.

11.2 Sample Size Considerations 
The sample sizes were selected to obtain preliminary safety information on a small cohort of 
subjects before proceeding to larger trials.  In this Phase 1 study, we are concerned with rates 
of adverse events, which theoretically could occur due to oxfendazole treatment.  The dosing 
regimens with respective sample sizes are described in Table 4 below:

The study will produce preliminary estimates of adverse event rates for each dosing regimen.   
The true adverse event rates within each dosing regimen are unknown.  The below table 
displays probabilities of observing at least one adverse event within a cohort assuming different  
true underlying event rates and sample sizes.  For example, if an adverse event has a true rate  
of 0.20, then the probability of observing at least one adverse event among 8 subjects is 0.83.   
There is a 0.93 probability of observing the event among 12 subjects.  The probabilities were  
calculated using R statistical software, version 3.2.2.

With 12 total participants to assess the secondary objective of the determination of the effect of 
food on the kinetics of oxfendazole, the power is 80% when the coefficient of variation is less 
than 0.175 and 64% when the coefficient of variation is 0.2. 
11.3 Planned Interim Analyses (if applicable) 
No interim analyses are planned. 
11.3.1 Safety Review  
The SMC will have a formal meeting after all subjects in groups 1-3 have completed the day 10 
study visit.  This meeting will be scheduled expeditiously, but this SMC review is not required 
prior to enrollment into study group 4.  This report will summarize adverse events as described 
in section 11.4.3 below.  Additional safety review may occur if halting rules are met.   
11.4 Final Analysis Plan 
The final analysis will be performed and clinical study report completed when all primary and 
secondary endpoint data are available.  This study, like other Phase 1 studies, is exploratory 
rather than confirmatory; its purpose is to estimate adverse event rates and characterize 
pharmacokinetic profiles than to test formal statistical hypotheses.  Estimates will be presented 
with their 95% confidence intervals.  Results will be presented in tabular format, as well as 
graphically when appropriate.   
11.4.1 Populations for Analysis 
Safety Population 
All participants who receive study drug and for whom any safety data are available will be 
included in the safety population.   
PK Analysis Population  
All participants who receive study drug and have at least one evaluable PK concentration will be 
eligible for the PK analysis population. 
11.4.2 Analysis of Demographics 
Demographic characteristics (age, gender, race, ethnicity) of each cohort will be summarized 
numerically.

11.4.3 Analysis of Safety 
Adverse experiences (spontaneous reports) will be coded into MedDRA® preferred terms. The 
number of subjects experiencing unsolicited adverse events and the number of spontaneous 
events, classified using MedDRA® System Organ Classes and Preferred Terms, reported 
throughout the study after treatment administration will be tabulated by cohort.  The severity and 
relationship to study product of the unsolicited adverse events will also be assessed.  Serious 
adverse events will be described.  A complete listing of adverse experiences for each subject 
will provide details including severity, relationship to treatment, onset, duration, and outcome. 
Solicited clinical laboratory results and vital signs will be graded and summarized by cohort and 
study day.   
11.4.4 Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
PK parameters for oxfendazole will be calculated using non-compartmental analysis. 
Parameters will be summarized separately by group and dose.  
Maximum concentration (Cmax), time of maximum concentration (Tmax), and the pre-dose trough 
concentrations (Ctrough) will be directly estimated from the observed concentration-time curve. 
Area under the curve (AUC) will be calculated using the linear up-log down trapezoidal method.  
λz will be calculated as the negative of the slope of the terminal log-linear segment of the 
plasma concentration-time curve. The range of data to be used for each subject and treatment 
will be determined by visual inspection of a semi-logarithmic plot of concentration vs. time, but 
will include at least three plasma concentration-time points for λz to be estimable. Half-life (t½) 
will be calculated as ln(2)/λz.  
In Groups 1-3, AUC0-τ will be calculated as AUC to the end of the 24-hour dosing interval. Oral 
clearance at steady state will be calculated using AUC0-τ,ss after the Day 5 (expected steady 
state) dose as 
ss

The observed accumulation ratio (AR) following multiple dosing will be estimated using the ratio 
of AUC0-τ following multiple and single dosing. When λz is estimable, AR will also be estimated 
using λz calculated following multiple dosing:  
𝐴𝑅=

The relationship between exposure (Cmax and AUC) and dose, i.e., dose proportionality, will be 
examined using ANOVA or the power model

where P represents the parameter and a and b are constants.  A value of b of approximately 1 
indicates linear PK.  
 
Group 4 parameters will be summarized by condition (fasting (water is permitted) or fed). In 
group 4, 90% confidence intervals for ratios of key exposure parameters will be estimated using 
appropriate analysis of variance (ANOVA) models on the log-transformed parameters. Key 
exposure parameters will be Cmax, AUC to the time of the last quantifiable concentration 
(AUC0-t), and, when λz is estimable, AUC extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-∞).

Listings of individual subject plasma concentrations, actual blood sampling times, PK 
parameters, and graphs of concentration vs. time will be prepared by group. Parameter 
estimation using noncompartmental analysis will be done using appropriate computer software, 
such as Phoenix WinNonlin, as determined by the sponsor.

Prior to enrollment of subjects into this trial, the approved protocol and the informed consent 
form will be reviewed and approved by the appropriate IRB. The responsible official for the IRB 
will sign the IRB letter of approval of the protocol prior to the start of this trial and a copy will be 
provided to DMID. Notification of the IRB’s composition, or the IRB’s Federal Wide Assurance 
number, will be provided to DMID. Should amendments to the protocol be required, the 
amendments will be written by the investigator and approved by DMID prior to submission to the 
IRB. 
14.3 Informed Consent Process 
Informed consent is a process that is initiated prior to the individual’s agreeing to participate in 
the study and continuing throughout the individual’s study participation.  Extensive discussion of 
risks and possible benefits of this therapy will be provided to the subjects and their families.  
Consent forms describing in detail the study interventions/products, study procedures, and risks 
are given to the subject and written documentation of informed consent is required prior to 
starting intervention/administering study product.  Consent forms will be IRB-approved and the 
subject will be asked to read and review the document. Upon reviewing the document, the 
investigator will explain the research study to the subject and answer any questions that may 
arise.  The subjects will sign the informed consent document prior to any procedures being done 
specifically for the study.  The subjects should have the opportunity to discuss the study with 
their surrogates or think about it prior to agreeing to participate.  The subjects may withdraw 
consent at any time throughout the course of the trial.  A copy of the informed consent 
document will be given to the subjects for their records.  The rights and welfare of the subjects 
will be protected by emphasizing to them that the quality of their medical care will not be 
adversely affected if they decline to participate in this study.

OR TAPE ON THE ORIGINAL. 
Copies of the electronic CRF (eCRF) will be provided for use as source documents and 
maintained for recording data for each subject enrolled in the study.  Data reported in the eCRF 
derived from source documents should be consistent with the source documents or the 
discrepancies should be explained 
DMID and/or it designee will provide guidance to investigators on making corrections to the 
source documents and eCRF. 
15.1 Data Management Responsibilities 
All source documents and laboratory reports must be reviewed by the clinical team and data 
entry staff, who will ensure that they are accurate and complete.  Adverse events must be 
graded, assessed for severity and causality, and reviewed by the site PI or designee. 
Data collection is the responsibility of the clinical trial staff at the site under the supervision of 
the site PI.  During the study, the investigator must maintain complete and accurate 
documentation for the study. 
The EMMES Corporation will serve as the Statistical and Data Coordinating Center for this 
study and will be responsible for data management, quality review, analysis, and reporting of 
the study data. 
15.2 Data Capture Methods 
Clinical data (including AEs, concomitant medications, and reactogenicity data) and clinical 
laboratory data will be entered into a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant Internet Data Entry System 
(IDES) provided by The EMMES Corporation.  The data system includes password protection 
and internal quality checks, such as automatic range checks, to identify data that appear 
inconsistent, incomplete, or inaccurate.  Clinical data will be entered directly from the source 
documents.

15.3 Types of Data 
Data for this study will include safety, laboratory studies, EKG data and pharmacokinetic data 
for the study drug. 
15.4 Timing/Reports 
Safety data will be reviewed by the SMC per the SMC charter for this study.  The SMC will 
review available safety data for Groups 1-3, after the third study group has completed the day 
10 study visit.     A second report will be generated approximately 6-8 months after study 
completion that will include all unblinded safety data for groups 1-4.  Interim statistical reports 
may be generated as deemed necessary and appropriate by DMID. 
15.5 Study Records Retention 
Study documents should be retained for a minimum of 2 years after the last approval of a 
marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or contemplated 
marketing applications in an ICH region or at least 2 years have elapsed since the formal 
discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational product.  These documents should 
be retained for a longer period, however, if required by local regulations.  No records will be 
destroyed without the written consent of the sponsor, if applicable.  It is the responsibility of the 
sponsor to inform the investigator when these documents no longer need to be retained. 
15.6 Protocol Deviations 
A protocol deviation is any noncompliance with the clinical trial protocol, Good Clinical Practice 
(GCP), or Manual of Procedures requirements.  The noncompliance may be either on the part of 
the subject, the investigator, or the study site staff.  As a result of deviations, corrective actions 
are to be developed by the site and implemented promptly.  
These practices are consistent with ICH E6: 
4.5 
Compliance with Protocol, sections 4.5.1, 4.5.2, and 4.5.3 
5.1 
Quality Assurance and Quality Control, section 5.1.1 
5.20 
Noncompliance, sections 5.20.1, and 5.20.2. 
It is the responsibility of the site to use continuous vigilance to identify and report deviations 
within 5 working days of identification of the protocol deviation, or within 5 working days of the 
scheduled protocol-required activity.  All deviations must be promptly reported to DMID, via The 
EMMES Corporation’s IDES or via the TRI/ICON DMID-Clinical Research Operations and

Management Support (CROMS) email (protocoldeviations@dmidcroms.com), web- 
(www.dmidcroms.com) or fax-based system (1-215-699-6288).  
Note:  Those sites participating in trials with a designated ‘central unit’ will follow the reporting 
requirements specified in their protocols and MOPs.  The ‘central unit’ will be responsible for 
submission of the protocol deviation information to TRI/ICON DMID-CROMS. 
All deviations from the protocol must be addressed in study subject source documents.  A 
completed copy of the DMID Protocol Deviation Form (TRI/ICON DMID-CROMS or IDES form) 
must be maintained in the regulatory file, as well as in the subject’s source document.  Protocol 
deviations must be sent to the local IRB/IEC per their guidelines.  The site PI/study staff is 
responsible for knowing and adhering to their IRB/IEC requirements.

PUBLICATION POLICY 
 
Following completion of the study, the investigator is expected to publish the results of this 
research in a scientific journal.  The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) 
member journals have adopted a trials-registration policy as a condition for publication. This 
policy requires that all clinical trials be registered in a public trials registry such as 
ClinicalTrials.gov*, which is sponsored by the National Library of Medicine.  Other biomedical 
journals are considering adopting similar policies.  It is the responsibility of DMID to register this 
trial in an acceptable registry.  Any clinical trial starting enrollment after 01 July 2005 must be 
registered on or before patient enrollment.  For trials that began enrollment prior to this date, the 
ICMJE member journals will require registration by 13 September 2005, before considering the 
results of the trial for publication. 
 
The ICMJE defines a clinical trial as any research project that prospectively assigns human 
subjects to intervention or comparison groups to study the cause-and-effect relationship 
between a medical intervention and a health outcome.  Studies designed for other purposes, 
such as to study pharmacokinetics or major toxicity (e.g., Phase I trials), would be exempt from 
this policy.

PREFACE 
DMID Protocol 16-0005 is a Phase I study of oxfendazole in healthy adult volunteers. The 
pharmacokinetic (PK)-related objectives of the study are: 
• To define the multi-dose pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole 
• To determine the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of oxfendazole 
This document reiterates key PK elements in the study design of 16-0005 and thoroughly 
describes the presentations and summaries of PK data as well as the noncompartmental analysis 
(NCA) to be included in a PK Report or in the clinical study report (CSR). Shells and mockups 
are given for all tables, figures, and listings planned for inclusion in the report. 
Any deviation from this statistical plan will be described and justified in protocol amendments 
and/or in the report, as appropriate. The reader of this SAP is encouraged to also review the 
clinical protocol for details on conduct of the study and the operational aspects of clinical 
assessments. 
Some minor modifications may be necessary to the planned design of tables, figures, and listings 
to accommodate data collected during the actual study conduct.

CLINICAL STUDY METHODS 
2.1. 
Treatment Groups 
This Phase I study is an open label multiple ascending dose evaluation of the safety and PK of 
oxfendazole (3, 7.5, or 15 mg/kg) in healthy adult men and nonpregnant women aged 18-45 
(inclusive) followed by a single dose crossover trial evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics 
of a single dose of oxfendazole (3 mg/kg) given following an 8 hour fast or following a high fat 
meal. 
In the multiple ascending dose trial, each dose group will be comprised of 8 subjects, all of 
whom will receive study product once daily for 5 days. To enhance safety, 1 sentinel subject will 
be enrolled and followed for 7 days for defined safety events. A second sentinel subject will then 
be enrolled and followed for 7 days. If no predefined safety events are identified, the remaining 6 
subjects in this group will be enrolled. All volunteers will be followed for 10 days and PK, safety 
laboratory and EKG studies will be performed. If no predefined safety events occur after all 8 
subjects have completed the Day 10 visit, the DMID Medical Monitor will issue approval to 
proceed with enrollment of the second group of 8 subjects, who will receive 5 days of 7.5 mg/kg 
of oxfendazole using the same enrollment plan as outlined above. If no predefined safety events 
are encountered, the third group of 8 subjects will be enrolled to receive 5 days of 15 mg/kg 
using the same enrollment plan.  
In the second phase of the study evaluating the effects of food on drug absorption, 12 subjects 
will be enrolled into a randomized, single dose, two-period, two-treatment (2x2) crossover trial. 
In the first period of this trial, half of the subjects will initially receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg 
of oxfendazole following an 8 hour fast, and the other half will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg 
of oxfendazole following a high fat breakfast. After a one-week wash-out period, subjects will 
cross over in the second period to receive a single dose following a high fat breakfast or 8 hour 
fast. The order of conditions, Sequence A (fasted condition first) and Sequence B (fed condition 
first), will be randomly assigned upon enrollment in a 1:1 ratio. 
Subjects who withdraw, or are withdrawn or terminated from the study, or are lost to follow-up 
after signing the informed consent form, randomization, and receipt of 3 or more doses of study 
drug will not be replaced. If the subject has only received two or fewer doses of study drug prior 
to termination from the study, the subject will be replaced. If a subject vomits more than two 
doses (i.e. if vomiting occurs within 1 hour of study drug administration and the subject vomits 
on two days or more), the subject will be replaced. Additionally, if the subject vomits within 1 
hour after the receipt of the dose on day 1, the subject will be replaced. No more than two 
subjects will be replaced in any group. Unless prohibited by the volunteer, data and samples 
obtained prior to withdrawal will be included in study analysis. Subjects who withdraw, or are 
withdrawn or terminated from the study, or are lost to follow-up after signing the informed 
consent form and enrollment but before receipt of study product may be replaced. If a subject in

Group 4 is lost to follow up after the first dose, a replacement subject will be enrolled and 
randomized. 
2.2. 
Dose Administration 
In the first phase of the study, subjects will be administered oxfendazole q24 hours via oral 
syringe by a study nurse or investigator on Days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Subjects will be fasting (water 
is permitted) for 8 hours prior to, and for 2 hours after, the administration of drug 
In the second phase, half of the subjects will receive a single dose of 3 mg/kg of oxfendazole 
following an 8 hour fast and the other half will receive a single dose following a high fat meal. 
After 7 days, each subject will cross over to receive a single dose of oxfendazole (3mg/kg) 
following either a high fat meal or following an 8 hour fast. Subjects receiving a high fat meal 
will be administered study product approximately 30 minutes (+/- 15 minutes) following 
completion of the meal. Subjects who fasted prior to receiving study product will remain fasting 
for 2 hours after administration of drug. Lunch and dinner will be provided. Subjects will be 
allowed to eat snacks but will be asked to avoid drinking grapefruit juice and excessive (>2 cups) 
coffee. 
Subjects in both phases of the study will be provided lunch and dinner on day of dosing. If vomiting 
occurs following ingestion of the study product, that dose will not be replaced. All subjects will 
be counseled to avoid drug, alcohol, and tobacco use through the end of the study. 
Additional details regarding study product administration can be found in the protocol and Manual 
of Procedures (MOP). 
2.3. 
PK Sampling Schedule Treatment Groups 
For the first phase of the study (Groups 1-3), 10 mL of blood for oxfendazole level will be drawn 
pre-dose and at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 hours following the first dose. All times have 
a window of +/- 15 minutes except the 9 and 12 hour samples which have a window of +/- 30 
minutes. On Days 2, 3, and 4, blood will be sampled for oxfendazole level approximately 24 
hours (+/- 4 hours for Day 2, +/- 2 hours for Days 3 and 4) after the prior dose, but before the 
current study day dose. On Days 2, 3, and 4, approximately 2 hours (+/- 20 minutes) after 
administration of study drug, blood will be drawn for oxfendazole level. On Day 5, blood will be 
sampled pre-dose (24 hours +/- 2 hours after the prior dose) and at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 
and 12 hours (all times have a window of +/- 15 minutes except the 9 and 12 hour samples which 
have a window of +/- 30 minutes). Blood will also be sampled for oxfendazole level on Day 6, 
approximately 24 hours after dosing on Day 5 (+/- 6 hours) and Days 8 (+/- 1 day) and 10 (+/- 2 
days). 
In the second phase of the study (Group 4), blood sampling for oxfendazole level will be 
performed pre-dose and at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 12 and 24 hours following each dose on 
Day 1 and Day 8 (+/- 1 day). All times have a window of +/- 15 minutes except the 9 and 12

hour samples which have a window of +/- 30 minutes and the 24-hour sample which has a 
window of +/- 4 hours. Blood will also be sampled for oxfendazole level on Day 14 (+/- 2 days). 
The exact time for all blood draws for oxfendazole level will be recorded and used for 
pharmacokinetic noncompartmental analysis (NCA). 
2.4. 
Analytical Methods 
Measurement of oxfendazole plasma concentrations will be performed by the Dr. Guohua An's 
Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics laboratory at the University of Iowa using a validated 
liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method for quantification of 
oxfendazole in human plasma with sodium heparin with lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 
0.5 ng/mL.  
Blood samples for PK analysis will be collected in tubes containing sodium heparin as the 
anticoagulant at baseline. The blood samples (10 mL) will be placed on ice after draw, and 
centrifuged within 1 hour at 4-8°C at approximately 3000 rpm for 15 minutes. The plasma will 
then be collected and stored frozen at –80°C until analyzed. Plasma samples will be shipped to 
the analytical lab frozen.

PHARMACOKINETIC ANALYSIS METHODS 
3.1. 
Analysis Populations and Handling of Missing Time Points 
All subjects receiving study drug and having at least 1 measurable drug concentration will be 
included in the multiple ascending dose study PK population or the food effect study PK 
population, as appropriate. If there are subjects who do not have sufficient samples for a 
complete analysis, a modified analysis will be conducted in which some or all PK parameters 
may not be estimated for those subjects, but available PK concentrations will still be tabulated 
and graphed.  
If any subjects are found to be noncompliant with respect to dosing, have incomplete data, or 
experience an event that is likely to affect PK, the Sponsor, the Investigator, and the Statistician 
will determine their inclusion into the population on a case-by-case basis. Subjects excluded 
from the PK analyses and their reasons for exclusion will be denoted and detailed. 
PK sample concentrations identified as laboratory errors will be indicated as such in the report 
and may be excluded from analyses. Time points below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) 
preceding the first PK concentration above the LLOQ will be imputed as 0. Pharmacokinetically 
plausible concentration value(s) below LLOQ at time points between two measurable 
concentration values (e.g., at trough timepoints) will be replaced by the LLOQ/2 value for 
graphing purposes only, and treated as missing for analyses. All other PK sample concentrations 
below the LLOQ will be treated as missing for analyses. Missing PK sample concentrations will 
not be imputed for the NCA. A geometric mean of concentrations will be treated as missing for 
sets of data points containing a below the quantification limit (BQL) value. 
3.2. 
Demographic and Baseline Characteristics 
Sex, race, age, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) of subjects in the PK population will 
be listed and summarized by treatment group (Listing 1, Table 1, and Table 2). 
3.3. 
Dosing and Pharmacokinetic Sampling Summary 
Subject dose administration times will be presented (Listing 2). Special cases that potentially 
affect the analysis will be discussed. Drug plasma concentrations will be listed by group and 
subject, with BQL, out of sample time window, and PK analyses-excluded samples indicated 
(Listing 3). The listings will also indicate, for each sample, the associated dose number, nominal 
and actual time since first dose, and actual time since the preceding dose.  
Important protocol deviations related to dosing or PK sampling will be discussed. Potentially 
important bioanalytical errors and their effect on the PK analysis will also be discussed. 
For Groups 1-3, Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5 will list and summarize drug concentrations for 
Dose 1 and Table 6, Table 7, and Table 8 will summarize drug concentrations for Dose 5. As 
only peak and trough concentrations are measured for doses 2-4, these concentrations will be

Definition and Estimation of Individual PK Parameters 
The PK parameters listed below will be estimated through a NCA using version 8.0 of Phoenix 
WinNonlin (Pharsight Corporation, Cary, NC). Actual post-dose time will be used for the 
estimation of PK parameters instead of nominal time. Subject-specific PK parameters will be 
presented (Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, Table 19, Table 20, Table 21, Table 22  Table 27 , 
Listing 3, Listing 4, and Listing 5). 
Phoenix WinNonlin NCA will use the following settings to compute parameters from plasma PK 
data: 
• Linear Up Log Down calculation method 
• Uniform weighting 
• Extravascular dose 
• Lambda Z Acceptance Criteria 
o Rsq_adjusted ≥ 0.85 
o Span ≥ 1.5 half-lives

Cmax 
Maximum concentration (Cmax) is defined as the maximum observed drug concentration 
observed over all PK sample concentrations for a given dose, and will be obtained from the 
Cmax parameter calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin. 
Ctrough 
Pre-dose trough concentration (Ctrough) is defined as the drug concentration observed at the last 
planned timepoint prior to dosing. Since there is no dose following Day 5, Ctrough for that day is 
defined as the concentration 24 hours (nominal time) after dosing. 
Tmax 
Time of maximum concentration (Tmax) is defined as the time at which the maximum 
concentration occurs within the given dosing interval and will be obtained from the Tmax 
parameter calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin. 
λz 
The terminal phase elimination rate constant (λz) is defined as the first-order rate constant 
describing the rate of decrease of drug concentration in the terminal phase (defined as the 
terminal region of the PK curve where drug concentration follows first-order elimination 
kinetics), and will be obtained from the Lambda_z parameter calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin. 
λz will be computed as the slope of a terminal region consisting of at least 3 successive points in 
the plot of log-transformed concentration data versus time. λz will be estimated using uniform 
weighting. Time points used in the estimation of λz will be initially selected using the Phoenix 
WinNonlin automatic algorithm. The set of points chosen must contain only timepoints after 
Tmax, include at least 3 timepoints, and satisfy the Lambda Z Acceptance Criteria described 
above.  The range of concentrations used to estimate λz for each profile will be inspected by the 
PK analyst, and the PK analyst may adjust the set of concentrations used to estimate λz if deemed 
necessary, but manually selected ranges must satisfy the same acceptance criteria as those chosen 
automatically by the Phoenix WinNonlin algorithm.  
Drug concentrations used to calculate λz will be indicated in Listing 3. 
λz will be estimated for Doses 1 and 5 in Groups 1, 2, and 3, and for Group 4. 
t½  
The apparent terminal elimination half-life (t½) is defined as the time required for the drug 
concentration to decrease by a factor of one-half in the terminal phase. The apparent terminal 
elimination half-life (t½) will be estimated as ln (2) / λz and will be obtained from the 
HL_Lambda_z parameter calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin.  t½ will be estimated for Doses 1 
and 5 in Groups 1, 2, and 3, and for Group 4, when λz is estimable.

AUC 
AUC is defined as the area under the concentration-time curve. AUC will be estimated using the 
Linear Up Log Down calculation method. 
AUCτ 
AUCτ is defined as AUC of a single dosing period. In groups 1-3, AUCτ for a given dose will be 
calculated as AUC from time of dosing to the end of the 24-hour dosing interval for Dose 1 and 
Dose 5.  AUCτ will be obtained in Phoenix WinNonlin using the Partial Area functionality. 
AUClast 
AUClast is defined as the AUC from dosing to the time of the last measured concentration ≥ 
LLOQ (Clast) of that dosing period and will be obtained from the AUClast parameter calculated 
by Phoenix WinNonlin. 
AUC (0-∞) 
AUC (0-∞) is defined as the AUC from dosing taken to the limit as the end time becomes 
arbitrarily large. AUC(0-∞) for a given dose will be estimated by adding AUClast for that dose to 
an extrapolated value equal to the last measured concentration greater than the LLOQ divided by 
λz: 
AUC(0-∞) = AUClast + Clast
λZ
, 
where Clast is the last measured concentration ≥ LLOQ. AUC(0-∞) will be obtained from the 
AUCINF_obs parameter calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin If the amount extrapolated portion of 
AUC(0-∞) is >25%, the estimated AUC(0-∞) value will be flagged when listed in the report and will 
be excluded from downstream statistical analyses, but included in the calculation of summary 
statistics. 
AUCτ, will be estimated for Dose 1 and Dose 5 in Groups 1, 2, and 3. AUClast will be estimated for 
Dose 5 in Groups 1, 2 and 3, and for Group 4. AUC(0-∞) will be estimated for Group 4 when λz is 
estimable. 
CL/F 
For Group 4, apparent oral clearance (CL/F) will be calculated as Dose/AUC(0-∞) and will be 
obtained from the CL_F parameter in Phoenix WinNonlin. If the amount extrapolated portion of 
AUC(0-∞) is >25%, the estimated CL/F value will be flagged when listed in the report, but 
included in the calculation of summary statistics. 
CLSS/F 
For Groups 1, 2 and 3, apparent oral clearance at steady state (CLSS/F) will be calculated as the 
dose in mg/kg divided by the AUCτ for Dose 5 (expected steady state) and will be obtained from 
the Clss_F parameter calculated by Phoenix WinNonlin.

CLSS/F = 
Dose
AUCτ,  Dose 5
 
Vd/F 
For Group 4, apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F) will be calculated as (CL/F)/ λz and will be 
obtained from the Vz_F parameter in Phoenix WinNonlin. If the amount extrapolated portion of 
AUC(0-∞) is >25%, the estimated Vd/F value will be flagged when listed in the report, but 
included in the calculation of summary statistics. 
AR 
For Groups 1, 2 and 3, the observed accumulation ratio (AR) is defined as the ratio of exposure 
parameters following multiple and single dosing. AR will be calculated using AUCτ and Cmax: 
AR = AUCτ,  Dose 5
AUCτ, Dose 1
, 
AR = Cmax,  Dose 5
Cmax, Dose 1
 
When λZ is estimable, AR will also be estimated using the elimination rate λz from Dose 5: 
AR = 
1
1-e-λZτ , 
where τ is the length of the dosing interval, 24 hours. 
3.5. 
Descriptive Statistics and Inference of PK Parameters 
3.5.1. 
Pharmacokinetic Parameter Summaries 
All PK parameters will be summarized using descriptive statistics: N, Mean, standard deviation 
(SD), Min, Max, Median, coefficient of variation as a percent (CV %), and geometric mean 
(GM). A subset of PK parameters will be summarized by dose and dose group where appropriate 
(Table 16, Table 17, Table 18, Table 19, Table 20, and Table 21). Group 4 parameters will be 
summarized by condition (Table 22). 
3.5.2. 
Analysis of Sex Differences in PK 
This study was not designed to formally assess differences in PK by sex. During the course of 
this study, preclinical evidence suggestive of sex-based differences in PK became available 
(communication with Sponsor). To facilitate a descriptive comparison of PK by sex, select PK 
parameters will be summarized by dose, dose group, and sex (Table 24 and Table 25). Group 4 
parameters will be summarized by condition and sex (Table 25). AUCτ, Cmax and Ctrough will also 
be presented graphically by dose, dose group, and sex in box plots for Groups 1, 2 and 3 
(Figure 13, Figure 14, and Figure 15). Box plots of AUClast and Cmax will be presented by sex and 
fed/fasted condition for Group 4 (Figure 16). Scatter plots of AUCτ, Cmax and Ctrough by dose, 
dose group, weight, and sex will also be presented for Groups 1, 2, and 3 (Figure 17, Figure 18 ,

and Figure 19). Scatter plots of AUClast and Cmax will be presented by weight, sex, and fed/fasted 
condition for Group 4 (Figure 20). 
For the statistical models described in Sections 3.5.3 and 3.5.5, sex will be added as a covariate. 
The models with and without the additional covariate for sex will be compared, and the final 
model will be chosen based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and graphical diagnostics of 
model assumptions and fit. 
3.5.3. 
Attainment of Steady State 
Attainment of steady state by Dose 5 will be assessed by visual examination of the concentration 
versus time plots (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6).  
Graphical findings will be supported by statistical comparison of Cmax and Ctrough values on Day 
5 with the corresponding values on Day 4 and Day 3. Cmax and Ctrough will be log-transformed 
and analyzed using the following mixed effects model for Yijk, the log-transformed exposure 
parameter observed on the kth subject on day j of dose group i: 
Yijk= μ+ πj+λ𝑖𝑖+τd[i,j]+sik+𝜀𝜀ijk 
where µ is the intercept; πj is a fixed effect associated with day j; λi is a fixed effect associated 
with dose group i, τd[i,j] is a fixed effect associated with the interaction of day j and dose group i; 
sik is a random effect associated with the kth subject in dose group i, and eijk is a random error 
term with mean 0 and variance 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒
2. This model will be fit using restricted maximum likelihood 
estimation (REML) in SAS PROC MIXED, with the Kenward and Roger denominator degrees 
of freedom.1 Covariance structure will be selected based on AIC, from the following candidate 
structures: variance components, first-order autoregressive, compound symmetry, Toeplitz, and 
unstructured. SAS code will be similar to: 
PROC MIXED; 
 
CLASS DAY DOSEGROUP SUBJECT; 
 
MODEL LCMAX = DAY DOSEGROUP DAY*DOSEGROUP / DDFM=KR; 
 
RANDOM SUBJECT / TYPE = VC; 
 
LSMEANS DAY*DOSEGROUP / PDIFF CL; 
RUN; 
The mean difference in log-transformed parameter (Cmax or Ctrough) between Day 5 and each of 
Days 4 and 3 at each dose level will be back transformed to obtain the geometric mean ratio. 
Contrasts of model parameters will be used to generate 95% confidence intervals for the 
geometric mean ratios. The geometric mean ratios and corresponding confidence intervals will 
be graphically depicted in Figure 25 and reported in Table 26, alongside the p-value for the 
hypothesis test of no difference in log-transformed Cmax and Ctrough between Day 5 and each of 
Days 4 and 3 at each dose level.

3.5.4. 
Summary of Accumulation upon Multiple Dosing 
Accumulation ratio will be summarized for each dose group in Groups 1-3 (Table 27). 
3.5.5. 
Analysis of Dose Proportionality 
The presence of dose proportionality over the range of studied dose levels for Groups 1-3 will be 
assessed using the exposure parameters AUCτ, Cmax, and Ctrough of Dose 1 and at expected 
steady-state (Dose 5).  Analysis will be conducted with the power model as described by Smith 
et al2: 
AUCτ = eα × doseβ. 
Let 𝜌𝜌 be the ratio (highest dose studied / lowest dose studied) and let (L, U) represent the 90% 
confidence interval for 𝛽𝛽̂. In the presence of dose proportionality, 𝜌𝜌𝛽𝛽෡−1 = 1. Accordingly, using 
the bioequivalence criteria of the current FDA guidance3, dose proportionality across the studied 
dose range is concluded when: 
Θl = 0.8 ≤ ρL-1 < ρU-1 ≤ 1.25 = Θh. 
Or, equivalently, 
1 + ln 0.8
ln ρ  ≤ L < U ≤ 1 + ln 1.25
ln ρ . 
Dose proportionality using Cmax and Ctrough will also be assessed using the same approach. Point 
estimates and 90% confidence intervals for 𝛽𝛽̂ will be presented (Table 28). Predicted values from 
the power model including 90% prediction bands will be overlaid on plots of exposure data 
(AUCτ, Cmax) by dose in mg/kg (Figure 21, Figure 22). Additionally, ANOVA on the log-
transformed parameters will be used to construct confidence intervals of the geometric means of 
dose-adjusted AUCτ and Cmax by dose, which will be displayed in Table 29 and plotted side-by-
side in order of increasing dosage (Figure 23, Figure 24).  
3.5.6. 
Analysis of Changes in Tmax by Dose Number and Dose Level 
Shift in Tmax between Dose 1 and Dose 5 for Groups 1, 2 and 3 will be tested using the Wilcoxon 
signed-rank test procedure. Point estimates of the shift (the Hodges-Lehmann estimator) and 
associated 90% confidence intervals will be provided (Table 30). A test for any difference in 
Tmax among the three studied dose levels will be performed using the Kruskal-Wallis one-way 
ANOVA on ranks. 
3.5.7. 
Analysis of Food Effect 
Determination of the effect of food on the kinetics of oxfendazole in Group 4 will be conducted 
in accordance with current FDA guidance3,4. Key exposure parameters (AUC(0−∞), AUC(0−last), 
and Cmax) will be log-transformed and analyzed using the following mixed effects model for Yijk, 
the log-transformed exposure parameter observed for the ith condition (fed/fasted) for the kth 
subject in period j:

Yijk= μ+ πj+λd[i,j]+τd[i,j]+sk+𝜀𝜀ijk 
where µ is an intercept; πj is a fixed effect associated with period j; λi is a fixed effect associated 
with the condition i, τd[i,j] is a fixed effect associated with the interaction of period j and condition 
i; and sik is a random effect associated with the kth subject with mean 0 and variance 𝜎𝜎𝑠𝑠
2, and eijk 
is a random error term with mean 0 and variance 𝜎𝜎𝑒𝑒
2. 
The model will be fit using REML in SAS PROC MIXED. Point estimates and 90% confidence 
intervals for the mean difference between fed and fasted conditions will be constructed for each 
log-transformed exposure parameter. SAS code will be similar to: 
PROC MIXED; 
 
CLASS PERIOD CONDITION SUBJECT; 
 
MODEL LCMAX = PERIOD CONDITION PERIOD*CONDITION / DDFM=KR; 
 
RANDOM SUBJECT; 
 
LSMEANS CONDITION / ALPHA=0.1 PDIFF CL; 
RUN; 
Point and interval estimates of the mean difference in log-transformed exposure parameters will 
then be back-transformed to obtain point estimates and 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of 
geometric means of the parameters. Equivalence between the fasting and fed conditions will be 
based on whether the 90% confidence interval for the ratio of the population geometric mean of 
the parameter measured from the 2 conditions is contained in the interval [0.80, 1.25].  
In addition, for each exposure parameter, the intrasubject coefficient of variation (CVW ) will be 
calculated to provide an estimate of the variability in exposure within the same subject, when the 
subject is administered one dose of study product on two separate occasions.  
For normally distributed data with mean µ and variance σ2, coefficient of variation is defined as: 
CV  = ඨVar ൬ X - μ 
μ
൰= σ
𝜇𝜇= ඥVar(X)
E(X)
 
If X is instead distributed log-normally (i.e., Y = log(X) is normally distributed with mean µ and 
variance σ2), then: 
E(X) = exp ቆμ + σ2
2 ቇ 
Var(X) =[exp(σ2) −1] exp൫2μ + σ2൯ 
The coefficient of variation can be written in terms of σ2 as: 
CV = ඥVar(X)
E(X)
=
ቂඥexp(σ2) - 1ቃ exp ൬μ + σ2
2 ൰
 exp ൬μ + σ2
2 ൰
= ඥexp(σ2) - 1

Thus, the intrasubject coefficient of variation can be estimated from the model on log-transformed 
data as:  
CVW 
෣= ඥexp(MSE) - 1 
where MSE is the residual mean squared error from the model. Results from the statistical 
analysis of food effect will be shown in Table 31. 
Distributional assumptions and homoscedasticity will be assessed by residual plots and/or other 
graphical diagnostics. Alternative analyses will be considered if assumptions are violated. 
Food effect on Tmax will be assessed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test procedure. The Hodges-
Lehmann estimator (pseudomedian) for the difference in Tmax between fed and fasted conditions 
will be reported, as well as the associated 90% confidence interval will be displayed in Table 32. 
Potential differences in Tmax due to sequence effects will be explored graphically.
