Study Design:  Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, 3-arm, parallel-
group, efficacy and safety pivotal study  
Number of Subjects:  Approximately 300 subjects (100 subjects per treatment) 
Criteria for Inclusion: 
Male and female subjects, 6-11 years of age, diagnosed with ADHD, parents/caregivers able to 
give consent and to follow the protocol requirements of the study. 
Criteria for Exclusion: 
History or presence of significant diseases, evidence of suicidality, allergy to viloxazine, or any 
other reason that could interfere with the subject’s participation in the study as determined by 
the Investigator. 
Treatment, Dose, and Mode of Administration: 
Study medication (SM): capsules containing either SPN-812 ER 100 mg or placebo  
Mode of administration: Each treatment will be administered once daily (QD) as a single oral 
dose. 
Dose: Subjects will be titrated up at 100 mg/week to the final randomized dose (1:1:1) as follows:  
Treatment A: Placebo  
Treatment B: SPN-812 ER 200 mg/day (2 x 100 mg SPN-812 ER) 
Treatment C: SPN-812 ER 400 mg/day (4 x 100 mg SPN-812 ER) 
Duration of Treatment and Study Duration:  
Screening window: within 28 days prior to Visit 2 (Baseline Visit) 
Titration period: 3 weeks  
Maintenance treatment period: 5 weeks  
Total subject duration on study: approximately 12 weeks (including up to 28 days of Screening) 
Total number of visits: 10  
Total duration of study: Approximately 12 months (9 months of enrollment). At the end of the 
study, eligible subjects will have the option to enroll in a separate, open-label extension study. 
Treatment Schedule: 
Screening (Visit 1):  After informed consent and informed assent (if applicable) is obtained, 
subjects will undergo initial screening evaluation including medical and psychiatric history, ECG, 
vital signs, physical examination, hematology and chemistry laboratory tests, and urine drug 
screen. A blood sample will also be drawn for PGx testing. ADHD diagnosis and severity will be 
confirmed and inclusion/exclusion criteria will be reviewed to confirm eligibility of the subject. 
Study Dose Treatment Phase (Visits 2 – 10): This phase will consist of three weeks of Titration 
followed by five weeks of Maintenance phase until end of study (EOS)/Visit 10. 
Baseline, Randomization, and Dispensation of SM (Visit 2):  Approximately 300 eligible 
subjects will be randomized.  Within 28 days of Screening Visit, eligible subjects will return for 
the Baseline Visit. After confirmation of eligibility (including a urine pregnancy test for Females 
of Childbearing Potential [FOCP]), subjects will be randomized and receive blinded study 
medication (SM).  
Study Dose Treatment: Titration (Visits 2-4): Subjects will return to the clinical site for weekly 
visits to undergo efficacy and safety evaluations and to pick up the next dosing card (Figure 1). 
Study Dose Treatment: Maintenance (Visits 5-10): Subjects will return to the clinical site for 
weekly visits to undergo efficacy and safety evaluations and to pick up the next dosing card 
(Figure 1). 
End of Study (Visit 10): Subjects will return for final evaluation (the same evaluation will be 
done if the subject terminated early).

Such information may be used solely for the purpose of reviewing or performing this study. 
Optional Substudy: Pharmacokinetic Sampling (Visits 3-10):  The following PK samples will be 
collected: pre-dose and 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post-dose. 
Endpoints: 
Primary Endpoint: The primary endpoint in this study is the change from baseline (CFB) to EOS 
in the ADHD-RS-5 total score. 
Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: a) CGI-I, b) Conners 3 - Parent composite T-score, and c) 
WFIRS-P average score 
Additional Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: a) Proportion of responders with 50% improvement 
in ADHD-RS-5 Total score, b) PSI-4-SF, c) ADHD-RS-5 Inattention and 
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscale scores, and d) Conners 3 - Self composite T-score (for ages 
8-11 years) 
Exploratory Endpoints:  
 
 
 
 
Safety Assessments: Safety will be assessed using Adverse Events (AEs), clinical laboratory 
tests, vital signs, physical examinations, ECGs and the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale 
(C-SSRS). 
Sample Size: 
Seventy-two subjects per treatment group in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population will yield 90% 
power at a significance level of 0.05 (two-sided) using a two-sample t-test with equal allocation 
to the treatment groups. This assumes an effect size of 0.547, observed in the comparison of 
SPN-812 200 mg and placebo in the SPN-812 Phase IIb study (based on the CFB to endpoint 
in the ADHD-RS-IV total score). A total of 300 subjects (100 subjects in each of the three 
treatment groups) will be randomized to account for an anticipated 27.9% of randomized subjects 
not completing the study. 
Analysis Populations: 
 
The Randomized population will include all enrolled subjects who had a baseline visit 
and are randomized via the IWRS. 
 
The ITT population for efficacy will include all randomized subjects who took at least one 
dose of study medication, and had a Baseline and at least one post-randomization 
ADHD-RS-5 assessment. Subjects will be analyzed according to the treatment to which 
they were randomized. 
 
The Per Protocol (PP) population consists of all subjects in the ITT population who 
completed all 10 visits with no missing ADHD-RS-5 assessments and no major protocol 
violations. Subjects will be analyzed according to the treatment they actually received. 
 
The Safety Population consists of all subjects randomized into the study who receive at 
least one dose of SM. Subjects will be analyzed according to the treatment they actually 
received. 
 
The PK population will include all subjects in the safety population with ≥1 PK sample 
that is not below the Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ). 
Handling of Missing Data:  
With respect to the primary analysis, missing ADHD-RS-5 Total scores will be assumed to be 
missing at random (MAR) and will be handled using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures 
(MMRM) method in SAS. The sensitivity analysis for the primary endpoint will be performed by 
assuming that missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores are missing not at random (MNAR). For 
analysis of secondary endpoints, missing values will be assumed as MAR.

viewing or disclosure of such information that is not authorized in writing by the Sponsor is strictly prohibited.  
Such information may be used solely for the purpose of reviewing or performing this study. 
Statistical Methods: 
All tabulations of analysis results will include summaries for the following three treatments: SPN-
812 ER 400 mg, SPN-812 ER 200 mg, and placebo. 
Where appropriate, variables will be summarized descriptively (frequency count and percent for 
categorical variables, and number of subjects (n), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, 
minimum, and maximum for continuous variables).  
Categorical variables will be analyzed using categorical response methods such as Pearson’s 
Chi-square test. If expected frequencies are less than 5 in a given cell, then exact testing 
techniques will be used. 
Descriptive statistics will be presented for demographics, data from the clinical laboratory tests, 
vital signs, weight, ECGs, and C-SSRS.   
 
Efficacy Analyses 
Primary: The primary efficacy variable, change from baseline in ADHD-RS-5 Total Score to 
Week 8 (EOS), will be analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM), which 
assumes that missing data are missing at random (MAR). The model will include fixed effect 
terms for baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total Score, age group, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit 
interaction as independent variables. The model parameters will be estimated using restricted 
maximum likelihood method with unstructured variance-covariance matrix and Kenward-Roger 
approximation to estimate denominator degrees of freedom. In case there is a convergence 
problem in the MMRM model with the unstructured variance covariance matrix, the first 
(co)variance structure which does not have convergence problem will be used for the analysis 
from the following ordered list: 1) Toeplitz, 2) Autoregressive of order 1, and 3) Compound 
symmetry. 
The adjusted mean (LS Mean) of CFB to EOS for ADHD-RS-5 Total Score for each treatment 
group (Placebo, SPN-812 ER 200 mg and SPN-812 ER 400 mg) will be presented, along with 
the corresponding standard error. Each of the active treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 and 
400 mg) will be compared with placebo. The p-values, Least Squares (LS) of treatment means, 
differences between the LS treatment means and placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for 
the treatment differences will be computed. 
Sensitivity analysis: The sensitivity analysis assumes that missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores 
are missing not at random (MNAR). Placebo-based multiple imputation will be used to fill in 
missing values.  
Secondary: The secondary analyses will be based on the ITT population with missing values 
imputed using multiple imputation assuming MAR. All secondary analyses will be analyzed 
using ANCOVA (except CGI which uses ANOVA on the absolute value of CGI-I at Week 8 
(EOS) on the change from baseline at Week 8 (EOS) with treatment and baseline as fixed 
effect.  
 
Safety Analyses 
Safety analyses will be performed by treatment group based in the safety population. The 
incidence rate, severity, and relationship to SM for all AEs will be summarized by treatment 
group for each System Organ Class and preferred term.

Such information may be used solely for the purpose of reviewing or performing this study. 
Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacogenomic Methods: 
Sampling:  For PK analysis, a maximum of five blood samples will be collected at one or more 
of Visits 3-10. For PGx analysis, a single blood sample will be collected at screening. 
Bioanalytical Analysis: 
Viloxazine concentrations and 5-hydroxy-viloxazine glucuronide concentrations in plasma will 
be determined for all treatments using a validated achiral chromatographic method.  Viloxazine 
concentrations will be reported as viloxazine free base. 
Pharmacokinetic Analysis: 
Plasma concentrations for viloxazine (and 5-hydroxy-viloxazine glucuronide, if applicable) will 
be provided. Population PK data will be pooled across all subjects who participate in this 
optional portion of the study and analyzed using nonlinear mixed-effects modeling methods. 
 
 
  Population PK analyses will be reported 
separately from the clinical study report. 
 
Pharmacogenomics Analysis 
A blood sample will be collected from each individual at screening for PGx analysis. If a given 
subject’s PK data warrant evaluation of PGx, 
 This 
enzyme is involved in the metabolism of viloxazine and genetic variation may affect the 
pharmacokinetics of the drug. The residual DNA will be stored for possible testing of genes 
involved in the efficacy and possible association with particular adverse events of the drug 
(e.g., understand the non-responders to treatment and/or individuals who show unusual safety 
profile). The DNA analysis will not be used for individual genetic characterization and the 
subject identity will be kept confidential.  If PGx testing is performed, individual data will be 
presented as a listing and summaries will be tabulated using descriptive statistics.

INTRODUCTION 
1.1 
Background 
Viloxazine hydrochloride (2-[(2-ethoxyphenoxy) methyl] morpholine hydrochloride) is a 
structurally distinct bicyclic norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) with antagonistic activity 
observed at 5-HT7 and 5-HT1B receptors and agonistic activity at 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C 
receptors.  Viloxazine was previously marketed in several European countries as an 
antidepressant.  Supernus is currently developing viloxazine (SPN-812) for potential use 
in the treatment of subjects with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), based on 
the compelling pharmacological properties and favorable safety profile of viloxazine, as 
well as on the current unmet medical need for effective long-acting non-stimulant ADHD 
treatment in children and adolescents. 
Compared to other bicyclic antidepressants, viloxazine has generally been found to be 
well tolerated, with no reports of major toxicity during short or long-term research studies.  
Anticholinergic-like effects and sedation have been less marked and less frequent than 
those of the tricyclic antidepressants, but nausea and vomiting have been common 
complaints with the immediate-release (IR) formulation and may be dose-related. 
Viloxazine is similar in structure to reboxetine and atomoxetine and is a racemic mixture 
of two stereoisomers of similar affinities for many important neurotransmitter receptors.  It 
is an inhibitor of the reuptake of norepinephrine and affects norepinephrine-related 
functional activities, and although its inhibitory action on serotonin re-uptake appears to 
be weak, viloxazine may facilitate serotonin activity pre- or post-synaptically.  Furthermore, 
viloxazine is known to upregulate GABAB binding sites.  These neurotransmitters have 
been implicated in pathophysiology of ADHD, and drugs that are effective in the treatment 
of ADHD act in noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems. 
Viloxazine is rapidly and almost completely absorbed following oral administration to man. 
Unchanged drug is the major component in blood at all times in man and is probably the 
pharmacologically active moiety.  Viloxazine is metabolized and rapidly excreted in the 
urine; there are no known active metabolites. 
1.2 
Clinical Information 
Two Phase 2 studies in ADHD patients, one in adults and one in children, and four 
Phase 1 studies in healthy adults have been conducted with SPN-812 IR or ER. An 
additional open label extension study in children is ongoing. 
Phase 1 Studies 
Phase 1 studies included comparison of SPN-812 ER formulation to an immediate-
release (IR) formulation at single and multiple doses (812P103), evaluation of maximum 
tolerable doses and cardiac safety in a single- and multiple-ascending dose study 
(812P120), and assessment of the effects of food and sprinkling on the relative 
bioavailability of viloxazine (812P105).  In addition, a [14C]-labelled oral IR solution was 
used to examine absorption, metabolism, and excretion of viloxazine in healthy males 
(812P111).

Phase 2 Studies 
The proof-of-concept Phase 1/2 study (812P201), compared an IR formulation of SPN-812 
and placebo in a randomized, blinded study, administered three times daily in a dose 
range of 150 to 300 mg/d in 52 adults (26 per treatment) with ADHD.  In addition to 
assessing the safety and tolerability of SPN-812 IR, scores of both the investigator-rated 
and patient-rated Conner’s’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) were collected at weekly 
intervals during the 6-week treatment period.  
 
 
  
The 812P202 study in children with ADHD assessed the effect of SPN-812 ER in reducing 
the symptoms of ADHD as measured by the ADHD Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV).  
Subjects aged 6-12 years were randomized in a 1:2:2:2:2 ratio of placebo or active 
treatment (SPN-812 ER 100, 200, 300, or 400 mg) and received three weeks of titration 
at 100 mg/week followed by five weeks of maintenance treatment for a total of eight weeks 
of therapy.  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Subjects who completed the 812P202 Phase 2 study were eligible to enroll in the open-
label, follow-on study (812P310), which is designed to collect long-term safety and efficacy 
data.

Investigator’s Brochure, version 6.0. 
1.3 
Study Rationale 
The results of the Phase 2 study, 812P202, indicated that SPN-812 ER doses from 200 
to 400 mg/day were effective in the treatment of ADHD in 6-12 year-old children as 
assessed by change from Baseline in ADHD-RS-IV Total Score.  This study seeks to 
confirm the positive efficacy results for the 200 mg and 400 mg dose of SPN-812 ER in a 
larger sample population of children 6-11 years old with ADHD, and to confirm the safety 
and tolerability of those doses in this age group. 
The ADHD-RS-5 is currently the rating scale most commonly used to measure efficacy of 
drug treatment of ADHD and is the primary efficacy measure (Home Version: Child, 
Investigator Administered and Scored) for this study. 
In addition to assessing the effect of SPN-812 ER treatment on ADHD symptom reduction, 
the study aims to explore treatment response within other domains of the disorder, 
including functional impairment, and parental stress (Becker et al., 2011; Wiener et al., 
2016).  ADHD is a chronic, debilitating disorder that affects many aspects of daily life and 
has a substantial burden on family functioning.  Children with ADHD exhibit a number of 
functional impairments, and the motivation in seeking medical treatment typically stems 
from the need to address dysfunction in social, emotional, academic, and familial domains 
(Epstein and Weiss, 2012).  Therefore, optimal medical and behavioral management 
should ideally incorporate treatments that do not just improve symptoms of ADHD, but 
improve broader functioning of a patient, especially in the areas of self-esteem, 
educational achievement, and relationships with peers, teachers, and family.

INVESTIGATIONAL STUDY PLAN 
3.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm, parallel-group 
study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SPN-812 ER as monotherapy for the 
treatment of children 6-11 years old with ADHD.  Approximately 300 subjects will be 
randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio of placebo or one of the two active treatment arms 
(SPN-812 ER 200 or 400 mg).  Following up to four weeks of screening, subjects will be 
randomized and undergo three weeks of titration followed by five weeks of maintenance 
for a total of eight weeks of treatment and total study duration of up to 12 weeks.  The 
study schematic appears in Figure 1. 
Screening (Visit 1):  After administering the informed consent form (ICF) and informed 
assent form (IAF, if applicable), subjects will undergo initial screening evaluation 
including medical and psychiatric history, ECG, vital signs, physical examination, routine 
laboratory assessment, PGx sample collection, and urine drug screen.  ADHD diagnosis 
will be confirmed as will all study inclusion/exclusion criteria.  Eligible subjects will be 
scheduled for a Baseline Visit within 28 days.  Subjects receiving ADHD medication at 
Screening will undergo a washout of at least one week before the Baseline Visit. 
Study Dose Treatment Phase (Visits 2-10): The Treatment Phase will consist of three 
weeks of Titration followed by five weeks of Maintenance until Visit 10/EOS. 
Baseline, Randomization, and Dispensation of Study Medication (SM) (Visit 2): At the 
Baseline Visit, inclusion/exclusion criteria will be reviewed to confirm continued eligibility 
(including urine pregnancy test for Females of Childbearing Potential [FOCP] only).  
Eligible subjects will be randomized and assigned the corresponding blinded dosing kit.  
The titration card of the blinded SM will be dispensed and the first study dose taken. 
Study Dose Treatment: Titration (Visits 2-4): Subjects will return to the clinical site for 
weekly visits to undergo efficacy and safety evaluations, pick up the next dosing card, 
and return the previous card. 
Study Dose Treatment: Maintenance (Visits 5-10): Subjects will return to the clinical site 
for weekly visits to undergo efficacy and safety evaluations, pick up the next dosing card 
(except at Visit 10 the last visit), and return the previous card. 
End of Study (Visit 10): Subjects will return for final evaluation (subjects terminated prior 
to Visit 10 will also undergo EOS evaluations).

Unscheduled visits may be conducted at the discretion of the investigator throughout the 
study. AE’s will be assessed at all unscheduled visits. 
An optional PK substudy will be conducted between visits 3 and 10, inclusive, to assess 
the PK characteristics of viloxazine (and its metabolite, 5-hydroxy-viloxazine glucuronide, 
if applicable) in this pediatric population.  A total of five blood samples will be taken: pre-
dose and 1, 2, 4, and 6 hours post dose. On the day the pre-dose sample is taken, SM 
must be administered at the site visit. Post-dose samples may be drawn on the same day 
or alternative visit days.  If drawn on alternate visit days, the time the SM was taken that 
day must be consistent with the dose time for the previous two days and the time of dose 
administration must be recorded for all three days. 
Subjects that have successfully completed this study will have the option of enrolling in a 
separate, open-label extension study.

11. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or refusal to practice abstinence or acceptable birth 
control during the study (for female subjects of childbearing potential). 
3.4 
Completion of Study and Discontinuation of Subjects 
Subjects will be considered to have completed the study if they complete all visits up to 
and including Visit 10 (EOS). 
All subjects who discontinue early will complete the procedures listed for Visit 10 (EOS). 
All reasons for screening failure or for failure to continue study eligibility at Baseline after 
successful screening will be recorded. 
The Investigator(s) or subjects themselves may stop SM treatment at any time for safety 
or personal reasons.  A subject is free to withdraw from the study at any time for any 
reason without prejudice to their future medical care by the physician or at the institution.  
The Sponsor may also withdraw the subject at any time in the interest of subject safety.  
The withdrawal of a subject from the study should be discussed where possible with the 
Medical Monitor and/or Clinical Research Associate (CRA) before the subject stops SM.  
Subjects removed from the study for any reason will not be replaced. 
Reasons for subject discontinuation may include: 
 
Withdrawal of consent  
 
Noncompliance  
 
Occurrence of unmanageable AEs 
 
Lost to follow-up 
 
Other 
 
The primary reason for subject discontinuation must be recorded in the subject’s medical 
record and on the eCRF.  If a subject is withdrawn for more than one reason, each reason 
should be documented in the source document and the most medically significant reason 
should be entered on the eCRF. 
If a subject misses doses of SM during this study, the Investigator shall counsel the 
subject/caregiver on the importance of compliance.  If the subject has consistently missed 
doses, he or she may be discontinued from the study at the discretion of the Investigator 
and in consultation with the Medical Monitor; all procedures for discontinuation will be 
followed.

Each card will be labeled with identification specific to the study and subject (subject 
number and initials). 
4.2 
Study Medication Administration 
Each treatment will be administered as a single oral dose, once-a-day (QD), with or without 
food as either intact capsule, or as capsule content sprinkled on soft food. 
4.3 
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Group 
Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio at Visit 2 (Baseline) and will receive 
either placebo, SPN-812 ER 200 mg/day, or SPN-812 ER 400 mg/day. 
Allocation of study treatment will occur centrally via an interactive web response system 
(IWRS) using a randomization schedule to determine the kit assignment for each subject 
being randomized.  Each SM kit contains eight dosing cards.  One dosing card will be 
given to the subject at each weekly visit.  
The initial dose may be taken at the clinic during the Baseline Visit, with the next dose 
taken the next morning. Subjects will be titrated up at 100 mg/week to the final dose (1:1:1) 
as follows: 
Treatment A: Placebo 
Treatment B: SPN-812 ER 200 mg/day (2 100 mg SPN-812 ER) 
Treatment C: SPN-812 ER 400 mg/day (4 100 mg SPN-812 ER) 
 
Table 1 below presents the details of the dosing schedule for each treatment group.

4.4 
Blinding 
The subject and all personnel involved with the conduct and the interpretation of the study, 
including the Investigators, study site personnel, the Sponsor and Contract Research 
Organization (CRO) clinical staff, including the Medical Monitor, will be blinded to the 
medication codes.  A limited number of Supernus personnel will perform and interpret the 
plasma assays for the population PK analysis and will be aware of these plasma data 
during the study.  These personnel will not have access to the randomization schedule, 
are not associated with the clinical conduct of the study, and will not reveal to any clinical 
personnel involved in the study the treatment to which a subject will be assigned.  
Randomization schedule data will be kept strictly confidential, filed securely by the IWRS 
vendor, and accessible only to authorized persons until the time of unblinding.

4.5 
Study Medication Handling and Accountability 
All SM are supplied to the Investigator by the Sponsor. SM supplies must be kept in an 
appropriate secure area (e.g., locked cabinet) and stored according to the conditions 
specified on the SM label. 
Following Sponsor instructions and in compliance with International Conference on 
Harmonization (ICH) E6 as well as local, state, and federal regulations. The Investigator 
and study staff will be responsible for the accountability of all clinical supplies (receiving, 
shipment, dispensing, inventory, and record keeping) in a SM accountability log, a copy 
of which will be collected by Sponsor at the end of the study. 
Under no circumstances will the Investigator allow the SM to be used other than as 
directed by this protocol.  Clinical supplies will not be dispensed to any individual who is 
not enrolled into the study. 
An accurate and timely record of the receipt of all clinical supplies; dispensing of SM to 
the subject; collection of unused supplies; and subsequent return of unused SM to the 
Sponsor must be maintained with dates.  This SM accountability log includes, but may not 
be limited to: (a) documentation of receipt of clinical supplies, (b) SM inventory log, (c) SM 
accountability log, and (d) all shipping service receipts.  Forms may be provided by the 
Sponsor.  Any comparable forms that the study site wishes to use must be approved by 
the Sponsor. 
The supplies and inventory records must be made available, upon request, for inspection 
by the designated representative of the Sponsor, or a representative of the FDA.  The 
assigned Clinical Research Associate (CRA) will review these documents along with all 
other study conduct documents at specified intervals once SM has been received by the 
study site.  All used, partly used, and unused clinical supplies, including empty containers, 
are to be returned to the Sponsor at the conclusion of the study, unless provision is made 
by the Sponsor for destruction of supplies and containers at the study site.  Upon 
completion of SM accountability and reconciliation procedures by study site personnel and 
documentation procedures by Sponsor personnel, SM is to be returned to the Sponsor 
with a copy of the completed SM disposition form. 
4.6 
Concomitant Medications  
Subjects may not be on any prohibited medication as indicated in the Inclusion/Exclusion 
Criteria.  Specific concomitant medication prohibitions include known CYP1A2 substrates 
(e.g., theophylline, melatonin, olanzapine, duloxetine). No additional concomitant 
medications are allowed during the study, with the following exceptions: 
 
Nutritional supplements (e.g. multivitamins, fish oil) 
 
EMLA® or other numbing cream for venipuncture 
 
Common over-the-counter (OTC) therapies for minor transient ailments (e.g. 
acetaminophen for headache, ibuprofen for fever) 
All concomitant medications will be recorded in the eCRF.

from the protocol visit or procedures, except as noted, and these procedures, if applicable, 
will be rescheduled or performed at the nearest possible time to the original schedule.  
Subjects will be instructed to call study personnel to report any abnormalities during the 
intervals in between study visits and to come to the study site if medical evaluation is 
needed and as the urgency of the situation indicates.  For emergency and other 
unscheduled visits to a medical facility other than the study site, medical records will be 
obtained by the Investigator or qualified designee as source data for study follow-up.

5.1.1 Visit 1 - Screening (Day -28 to -1) 
Prior to conducting screening procedures, written Informed Consent must be obtained 
from the parent or legal representative; written Informed Assent must also be obtained 
from the subject, if applicable according to local requirements.  Subject screening 
procedures will be performed within 28 days prior to Baseline Visit and may be done on 
more than one day.  Abnormal results on screening laboratory tests may be repeated at 
the discretion of the Investigator.  Subjects receiving ADHD drug therapy at Screening 
must discontinue that therapy for at least one week prior to Visit 2 (Baseline) and must 
remain off the ADHD drug for the duration of the study.

5.1.5 Pharmacogenomic Sample Collection 
All subjects will have a blood sample taken at Screening for CYP2D6 pharmacogenomic 
testing. Results from individual tests will be used for research purposes only and will not 
be distributed. 
Samples will be identified only by the study subject number to maintain confidentiality. If 
a given subject’s PK data warrant evaluation of PGx, 
 
 
 This enzyme is involved in the metabolism of viloxazine and genetic variation 
may affect the pharmacokinetics of the drug. Samples will be stored for up to 10 years for 
potential future research purposes such as possible testing of genes involved in the 
efficacy and possible association with particular adverse events of the drug (e.g., 
understand the non-responders to treatment and/or individuals who show unusual safety 
profile). The DNA analysis will not be used for individual genetic characterization and the 
subject’s identity will be kept confidential. 
Data from samples will not have diagnostic value and will not be used for individual genetic 
characterization or development of a commercial product. At the end of testing or 10 years, 
any remaining samples will be destroyed. The subject may withdraw consent for 
pharmacogenomic testing at any time; if consent is withdrawn, the subject’s sample will 
be destroyed. 
5.1.6 Pharmacokinetic Sub-study-Sample Collection 
Participation in the PK Sub-study is optional.  All blood samples for PK analysis will be 
drawn at the clinical site.  A maximum of five blood samples (4 mL each) will be taken for 
PK analysis over the course of the study.  Blood may be drawn for quantitative PK analysis 
during Visits 3-10. 
At one of these visits, subjects will arrive at the clinic in the morning prior to taking their 
morning dose.  A PK sample will be drawn pre-dose, after which the dose will be 
administered in the clinic.  Post-dose PK samples will be taken at approximately 1, 2, 4, 
and 6 hours after the administered dose.  Collection of the post-dose samples may be on

STUDY VARIABLES 
6.1 
 Primary Efficacy Variable 
6.1.1 ADHD-RS-5 
The primary endpoint in this study is the CFB to EOS in the ADHD-RS-5 Total Score.  
The ADHD-RS-5 is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess 
current ADHD symptomatology as described in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and 
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).  The scale consists of 18 items that 
directly correspond to the 18 DSM-5 symptoms and are further subdivided into two 
subscales: Hyperactivity/Impulsivity and Inattention (DuPaul, 2016).  The ADHD-RS-5 
scale rates the frequency and severity of each symptom on a 4-point Likert-type scale 
from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) and allows assessment of functional impairments linked to 
each symptom dimension.  The ADHD-RS-5 rating scale is one of the most commonly 
used measures of drug efficacy in the treatment of ADHD and is the primary outcome 
measure for this study.  The ADHD-RS-5 Home Version: Child instrument will be 
administered and scored by Investigator at each weekly visit from Baseline through EOS. 
6.2 
Secondary Efficacy Variables 
The key secondary efficacy variables include: 
a) CGI-I 
b) Conners 3 – Parent, composite T-score 
c) WFIRS-P average score 
 
Additional secondary variables include: 
a) Proportion of responders with 50% improvement in the ADHD-RS-5 Total score 
(50% Responder rate) 
b) PSI-4-SF 
c) ADHD-RS-5 Inattention and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscale scores 
d) Conners 3 – Self, composite T-score (for ages 8-11 years) 
 
6.2.1 Clinical Global Impression - Improvement 
The CGI scale was developed to provide a brief, stand-alone assessment of the clinician’s 
view of a subject’s global functioning prior to and after administration of a SM (Guy 1976).  
The Clinical Global Impression – Severity of Illness (CGI-S) is a single item clinician rating 
of clinician’s assessment of the severity of the ADHD symptoms in relation to the clinician’s

total experience with patients with ADHD.  The Clinical Global Impression – Improvement 
Scale (CGI-I) is an assessment of how much the patient’s illness has improved or 
worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of treatment. Both CGI-S and CGI-
I are rated on a 7-point scale of 1 to 7 with 7 being “extremely ill” or “very much worse”, 
respectively.  Successful therapy is indicated by a lower overall score in subsequent 
testing. 
 
CGI-S will be evaluated by the Investigator at Screening and Baseline on a 7-point 
scale with 1=Normal,    2=Borderline ill, 3=Mildly ill, 4=Moderately ill, 5=Markedly 
ill, 6=Severely ill, and 7=Extremely ill.    
 
CGI-I, relative to the condition at baseline, will be evaluated by the Investigator at 
each post-baseline visit on a 7-point scale with 1=Very much improved, 2=Much 
improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Minimally worse, 6=Much 
worse, and 7=Very much worse.   
 
6.2.2 Conners 3 
The Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3) is a focused diagnostic tool for assessment of 
ADHD and associated learning, behavior, and emotional problems in children ages 6 to 
18 years (Sparrow, 2010). The scale is based on the solid findings and key elements of 
its predecessor, the Conners' Rating Scales–Revised (CRS–R™), but offers a more 
refined assessment of ADHD and comorbid disorders (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder 
and conduct disorder). The Conners 3 instrument includes items related to inattention, 
hyperactivity, and impulsivity, as well as assessments of executive functioning, learning 
problems, and relationships. Like previous versions, the Conners 3 combines teacher, 
parent, and student reports to provide a particularly detailed and comprehensive 
evaluation of student behavior as observed in different settings. Teacher, parent, and self-
report (for 8-18y.o.) rating scales are all available in long and short versions.  The short 
forms of Parent, Teacher, and Self Reports of Conners 3 are comprised (respectively) of 
45, 41, and 41 items.  All Conners 3 scale versions are scored on a 4-point scale (0-3), 
where a higher score indicates more severe symptom presentation. 
The Conners 3 scales will be administered at Visit 2 (Baseline) and at Week 8 (EOS) 
according to subjects’ age as follows: 
 
Age 6-11:  
Conners 3 – Parent: Short (Conners 3-PS) 
 
Age 8-11 only: 
Conners 3 – Self-Report: Short (Conners 3-SRS) 
 
6.2.3 WFIRS-P 
The Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale (WFIRS) instrument evaluates ADHD-
related functional impairment (Gajria, 2015; Thompson, 2017).  This scale allows the 
clinician to assess to what degree a patient’s behavior and emotional problems affect 
his/her ability to accomplish daily tasks and interactions and helps to identify specific areas 
of difficulty.  The scale has been validated in the ADHD population; the parent-based 
version (WFIRS-P) completed by the parent/guardian of a child is used in this study and 
comprises 50 items grouped into six domains: Family, School (learning and behavior), Life 
Skills, Child’s Self-Concept, Social Activities, and Risky Activities.  The items relate to the 
past month and are scored using a 4-point Likert scale. Higher WFIRS-P scores indicate 
more severe functional impairment.   
This instrument will be completed at Baseline and EOS by the parent/caregiver.

6.2.4 PSI-4-SF 
The Parenting Stress Index, Fourth Edition (PSI-4) questionnaire evaluates the magnitude 
of stress in the parent-child relationship based on the parent’s perception of the child’s 
characteristics, the personal characteristics of the parent, and the interaction between the 
parent and the child (Abidin, 1995).  The short form (PSI-4-SF) of the PSI-4 consists of 36 
items divided into three domains: parental distress, parent-child dysfunctional interaction, 
and difficult child.  The PSI-4-SF scale was developed for parents of children ages 1 month 
to 12 years.   
This scale will be completed at Baseline and at EOS by the parent/caregiver. 
6.3 
Safety Variables  
The safety variables for the study are AEs, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs, ECG 
results, and treatment-emergent suicidal ideation. 
Investigators are responsible for monitoring the safety of subjects who have entered this 
study and for alerting Supernus or its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if 
this event may be considered an unanticipated benefit to the subjects. 
Safety assessments include monitoring, evaluation, and recording of all concomitant 
medications, and the evaluation of AEs, clinical laboratory test results, vital signs and 12-
lead ECGs, C-SSRS, and the performance of physical examinations as detailed in the 
Schedule of Events and Assessments. 
6.4 
Adverse Events 
As defined by the ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practices (GCP), an adverse event (AE) 
is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a 
causal relationship with treatment. 
An AE can be: 
• 
Any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, 
whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. 
• 
Any new disease, intercurrent injuries, or exacerbation of an existing disease. 
• 
Any deterioration in a laboratory value or other clinical test (e.g., ECG) that results in 
symptoms, a change in treatment, or discontinuation from SM. 
• 
Recurrence of an intermittent medical condition (e.g., headache) not present at 
baseline. 
Surgical procedures are not AEs; they are therapeutic measures for conditions that require 
surgery.  The condition for which the surgery is required is an AE, if it occurs or is detected 
during the study period. 
6.4.1 Causality 
Adverse events may be categorized as either Adverse Drug Reactions or Suspected 
Adverse Drug Reactions based on their relationship to SM and the degree of certainty 
about causality. 
Suspected adverse drug reactions (SADRs) are a subset of adverse events for which 
there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the drug and the AE, i.e., there 
is a reasonable possibility that the drug caused the adverse event.

Such information may be used solely for the purpose of reviewing or performing this study. 
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a subset of all SADRs for which there is reason to 
conclude that the drug caused the event. 
6.4.2 Recording and Evaluation of Adverse Events 
All subjects who are screened (Visit 1) will be questioned regarding the occurrence of AEs.  
At each contact with the subject, the investigator must seek information on AEs by specific 
questioning and, as appropriate, by examination.  Information on all AEs should be 
recorded immediately in the source document, and also in the appropriate adverse event 
module of the eCRF.  All clearly related signs, symptoms, and abnormal diagnostic 
procedures results should be recorded in the source document, though they may be 
grouped under one diagnosis.  For example, fever, elevated WBC, cough, abnormal chest 
X-ray, etc., can all be reported as “pneumonia”. 
All AEs occurring after screening and throughout the study period must be recorded.  A 
treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE ) is defined as an AE with a start date on or 
after the first dose of study drug is taken, or that worsened following first administration of 
study drug.  All AEs in this study will be recorded after administration of SM, therefore all 
will be treatment-emergent.  The clinical course of each AE should be followed until 
resolution or until, in the medical judgment of the Investigator, the event has stabilized or 
is assessed as chronic. 
The Investigator is responsible for evaluating AEs and determining the following: 
• 
Serious vs. Non-serious: Is the event a Serious Averse Event (SAE)? 
• 
Causality: Was AE related or possibly related to the SM? 
• 
Severity: How pronounced is the incapacity/discomfort caused by an AE? 
6.4.3 Criteria for Assessing Severity 
The Investigator will evaluate the comments of the subject and the response to treatment 
in order that he or she may judge the true nature and severity of the AE.  Severity refers 
to the accumulated intensity of discomfort/impairment of health since the last recording of 
AEs and will be assessed according to the following criteria: 
• Mild: 
Awareness of sign, symptom, or event, but easily tolerated 
• Moderate: Discomfort enough to interfere with usual activity and may warrant 
intervention 
• Severe:    Incapacitating with inability to do usual activities or significantly 
affects clinical status and warrants intervention 
The criteria for assessing severity are different from those used for seriousness. 
6.4.4 Criteria for Assessing Causality 
The Investigator is responsible for determining the relationship between the administration 
of SM and the occurrence of an AE as not suspected or as a suspected reaction to SM.  
These are defined as follows: 
Not suspected: The temporal relationship of the AE to SM administration makes a causal 
relationship unlikely, or other drugs, therapeutic interventions, or underlying conditions 
provide a sufficient explanation for the observed event.  
• Not related:  Temporal relationship to SM administration is missing or 
implausible, or there is an evident other cause.

Such information may be used solely for the purpose of reviewing or performing this study. 
• Unlikely related:  Temporal relationship to SM administration makes a causal 
relationship improbable; and other drugs, chemicals, or underlying disease 
provide plausible explanations. 
Suspected: The temporal relationship of the AE to SM administration makes a causal 
relationship possible, and other drugs, therapeutic interventions, or underlying 
conditions do not provide a sufficient explanation for the observed event.  
• Possibly related:  Temporal relationship to SM administration is plausible, but 
concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals could also explain event.  
Information on drug withdrawal may be lacking or unclear.  This will be reported 
as a Suspected Adverse Drug Reaction (SADR). 
• Definitely related: Temporal relationship to SM administration is plausible, and 
concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals cannot explain event.  The 
response to withdrawal of the medication (dechallenge) should be clinically 
plausible. 
 
The 
event 
must 
be 
definitive 
pharmacologically 
or 
phenomenologically, using a satisfactory rechallenge procedure if necessary.  
This will be reported as an Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR). 
6.4.5 Serious Adverse Events 
Adverse events are classified as serious or non-serious.  An AE or ADR is considered 
“serious” if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, it results in one of the following 
outcomes:  
• 
death 
• 
life-threatening AE (i.e., the subject was at immediate risk of death from the AE 
as it occurred.  This does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more 
severe form or was allowed to continue, might have caused death.) 
• 
in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• 
persistent or significant disability or incapacity or substantial disruption of the 
ability to conduct normal life functions 
• 
a congenital anomaly or birth defect 
• 
an important medical event 
Important medical events are those that may not be immediately life threatening or result 
in death or hospitalization, but are clearly of major clinical significance.   They may 
jeopardize the subject, and may require intervention to prevent one of the other serious 
outcomes noted above.  For example, drug overdose or abuse, blood dyscrasias, a 
seizure that did not result in in-patient hospitalization or intensive treatment for allergic 
bronchospasm in an emergency department would typically be considered serious. 
6.4.6 Investigator Responsibilities for Reporting SAEs 
The Investigator must immediately report to the Sponsor all SAEs, regardless of whether 
the Investigator believes they are drug related. 
All SAEs must be reported to the Drug Safety Contact within 24 hours of first becoming 
aware of the SAE.  The Investigator must complete an SAE Form and include a detailed 
description of the SAE, as well as other available information pertinent to the case (e.g., 
hospital records, autopsy reports and other relevant documents).  The investigator will 
keep a copy of this SAE Report form on file at the study site.

Such information may be used solely for the purpose of reviewing or performing this study. 
The Investigator or study physician, after thorough consideration of all facts that are 
available, must include an assessment of causality of an AE to SM in the report to the 
Sponsor. 
Follow-up information, or new information available after the initial report, should be 
actively sought and reported to the Sponsor, as it becomes available, using the SAE 
Report Form.   
 
 
 
  
6.4.7 Other Events Requiring Immediate Reporting 
The Investigator must report a pregnancy that occurs in a subject during a clinical study 
to the Drug Safety Contact within 24 hours of first becoming aware of the event.  
Pregnancy should be reported on a Pregnancy Report Form.  The Investigator should 
discuss the case with the Medical Monitor; the Investigator must follow any pregnant 
subject for 3 months after the child is born.  Any AEs concerning the pregnancy of the 
subject during pregnancy or the child after birth must be documented and reported to the 
Sponsor. 
Acute suicidal crisis or clinically significant suicidal behavior or ideation should be reported 
to the Drug Safety Contact within 24 hours of first becoming aware of the event. 
6.4.8 Sponsor Responsibilities for Reporting SAEs 
The Sponsor will inform Investigators and regulatory authorities of reportable events, in 
compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, on an expedited basis (i.e., within 
specific timeframes).  For this reason, it is imperative that study sites submit SAE 
information to the Sponsor in the manner described above. 
Investigators must comply with the applicable regulatory requirements related to the 
reporting of SAEs to the Institutional Review Board (IRB).  Investigators must also submit 
the safety information provided by the Sponsor to the IRB unless the country legal 
regulation requires that the Sponsor should be responsible for the safety reporting to the 
IRB. 
It is the responsibility of the Sponsor to notify all participating investigators, in a written 
IND safety report, of any SADR that is both serious and unexpected.  The Sponsor will 
also notify participating investigators of any findings from other sources (other studies, 
animal and in vitro testing, etc.) that suggest a significant risk for human subjects.  Such 
findings will typically lead to safety-related changes in the study protocol, Informed 
Consent, and/or Investigator’s Brochure. 
6.5 
Treatment-Emergent Suicidal Ideation 
Prospective assessment of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior is a mandatory part of 
the safety evaluations for any drug developed for a psychiatric indication (FDA Guidance 
for Industry: Prospective Assessment of Occurrence in Clinical Trials: Suicidal Ideation 
and Behavior, 2012).  In this study, the initial evaluation of subjects will be conducted prior 
to enrollment to assess lifetime suicidal ideation and to identify subjects who must not 
participate in the trial due to pre-existing suicidality risk.  The assessment will then be 
repeated at each subsequent study visit to monitor the occurrence of new suicidal and 
self-injurious tendencies.

6.5.1 Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) 
Assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior will be conducted using the Columbia-
Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).  The C-SSRS is an FDA-recommended 
prospective assessment instrument that directly classifies suicidal ideation and behavior 
events into 11 preferred categories, including 5 levels of suicidal ideation, 5 levels of 
suicidal behavior, and the category of self-injurious behaviors with no suicidal intent.   
The instrument has been validated and used successfully in both children and adolescent 
patients with various psychiatric disorders that do not involve cognitive impairment.  The 
C-SSRS outcomes that can be used for clinical management and safety monitoring are 
suicidal lethality rating, suicidal ideation score, and suicidal ideation intensity rating. 
6.5.2 Suicide Risk Management Plan 
The protocol procedures related to clinical care of patients with treatment-emergent 
suicidal ideation and behavior must be implemented to ensure proper management of the 
event and protection of subject’s safety.  If a disclosure of suicidal ideation is revealed as 
part of the C-SSRS questionnaire or when a subject spontaneously expresses that he/she 
may be a threat to him/herself, the study team should be prepared to quickly evaluate the 
event and to determine the appropriate course of action. 
6.5.2.1 Assessment of Suicide Risk 
Any indication of suicidal ideation should be evaluated as soon as possible by 
appropriately trained staff. The Investigator is responsible for making the final judgment 
regarding potential suicide risk and need subsequent action.  
6.5.2.2 Acute Suicidal Crisis 
A person evaluated as being at high risk should be transferred to an immediate care 
facility. The Investigator will guide intervention as clinically indicated and follow up with 
the subject within one week and/or refer him/her to a qualified mental health professional.

STATISTICAL METHODS 
7.1 
General Considerations 
All statistical analysis will be performed using SAS version 9.2 or higher by 
, which is 
the designated CRO. 
 will be responsible for developing a unique program for each 
TLF to create a TLF report and deliver to Supernus at the completion of the study.   
All tabulations of analysis results will include summaries for the following three treatments: 
SPN-812 ER 400 mg, SPN-812 ER 200 mg, and placebo. 
Where appropriate, variables will be summarized descriptively (frequency count and 
percent for categorical variables, and number of subjects (n), mean, standard deviation 
(SD), median, minimum, and maximum for continuous variables). 
The data summaries will be accompanied by individual subject data listings, as specified 
in Sections 16.2 and 16.4 of ICH Guidance E3, sorted by unique subject identifier.  All 
data available from the electronic case report forms (eCRFs) will be listed.  Unscheduled 
measurements will be excluded from the descriptive statistics and statistical analysis but 
will be included in listings. 
Categorical variables will be analyzed using categorical response methods such as 
Pearson’s Chi-square test.  If expected frequencies are less than 5 in a given cell, then 
exact testing techniques will be used. 
Complete details of the statistical analysis will be provided in a separate statistical analysis 
plan (SAP).  The statistical analysis methods described in the SAP will supersede the 
statistical methods described in this protocol. 
7.2 
Handling of Missing Data 
With respect to the primary analysis, missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores will be assumed 
to be missing at random (MAR), that is, given the observed data, the reason for the missing 
data does not depend on the unseen data.  The Mixed Model for Repeated Measures 
(MMRM) method, implemented via SAS® PROC MIXED (SAS/STAT Software), will be 
used for handling missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores under MAR assumption. Under MAR, 
the propensity for a data point to be missing is not related to the missing data, but is related 
to some of the observed data.  
The sensitivity analysis for the primary endpoint will be performed by assuming that 
missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores are missing not at random (MNAR) meaning that the 
probability that an observation is missing may depend on its underlying unobserved value.  
For analysis of secondary endpoints, missing values will be assumed as MAR. 
For safety analyses, missing dates for AEs and non-study medication use will be imputed 
as described in the SAP. Missing data for all other safety endpoints will not be imputed. 
7.3 
Analysis Populations

Study Medication Exposure and Compliance 
Duration of exposure is defined as the total number of days a subject is exposed to any 
study treatment. This will be calculated for each subject by taking the difference between 
the date of last dose minus the date of the first dose, plus 1 (date of last dose minus date 
of first dose +1).

Duration of treatment exposure will be summarized by duration category and will also be 
summarized using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum). 
Percent of study drug compliance is defined as {(number of capsules dispensed minus 
number of capsules returned) /4 × (date of last dose minus date of first dose + 1)}* 100%. 
For each treatment, SM compliance will be summarized by compliance category (<80%, 
80-120%, and >120%) and number of subjects in each compliance category.  Study 
medication compliance will also be summarized as a continuous variable using descriptive 
statistics (n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum) for each 
treatment. 
Summaries of treatment compliance and exposure will be presented separately for the 
Titration Period, Maintenance Period, and combined Titration and Maintenance Periods. 
7.7 
Concomitant Medications 
Concomitant medications will be assigned an 11-digit code using the World Health 
Organization Drug Dictionary (WHO DD) drug codes.  Concomitant medications will be 
further coded to the appropriate Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical (ATC) code indicating 
therapeutic classification.  A tabular summary of concomitant medications by drug class 
will be presented for the safety population.

Efficacy Analysis 
7.8.1 Primary Efficacy Analysis 
7.8.1.1 Primary analysis 
The primary efficacy variable, change from baseline in ADHD-RS-5 Total Score to Week 
8 (EOS), will be analyzed using MMRM, which assumes that missing data are MAR. The 
model will include fixed effect terms for baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total Score, age group, 
treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as independent variables. The model 
parameters will be estimated using restricted maximum 
likelihood method with 
unstructured variance-covariance matrix and Kenward-Roger approximation to estimate 
denominator degrees of freedom. In case there is a convergence problem in the MMRM 
model with the unstructured variance-covariance matrix, the first (co)variance structure 
which does not have convergence problem will be used for the analysis from the following 
ordered list: 1) Toeplitz, 2) Autoregressive of order 1, and  3) Compound symmetry.  
 
The adjusted mean (LS Mean) of CFB to EOS for ADHD-RS-5 Total Score for each 
treatment group (Placebo, SPN-812 ER 200 mg and SPN-812 ER 400 mg) will be 
presented, along with the corresponding standard error. Each of the treatment groups 
(SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, 
Least Squares (LS) of treatment means, differences between the LS treatment means and 
placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for the treatment differences will be computed. 
To maintain the Type I error rate at 5% level, a sequential testing (Westfall et al,1999) of 
the null hypotheses H01: No treatment mean difference between SPN-812 ER 400 mg 
group and placebo group and H02: No treatment mean difference between SPN-812 ER 
200 mg group and placebo group will be performed. If H01 is not rejected, then H02 will not 
be tested and the conclusion will be that neither dose groups are efficacious. If H01 is 
rejected, then H02 will be tested. If H02 is rejected then it will be concluded that both SPN-
812 ER 400 mg and SPN-812 ER 200 mg are superior to placebo. If H01 is rejected and

H02 is not rejected then it will be concluded that only SPN-812 ER 400 mg is superior to 
placebo. 
7.8.1.2 Sensitivity Analyses 
The sensitivity analysis assumes that missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores are MNAR. 
Placebo-based multiple imputation will be used to fill in missing values. This approach 
may be considered “worst-case” sensitivity analyses as it assumes that after 
discontinuation, subjects from the active treatment arms would adopt the outcome model 
estimated from the placebo arm. The placebo-based imputation will be implemented as 
described in the SAP. 
7.8.2 Secondary Efficacy Analyses 
The secondary analyses will be based on the ITT population with missing values imputed 
using multiple imputation assuming MAR. 
 
All secondary analyses will be analyzed using ANCOVA (except CGI which uses ANOVA 
on the absolute value of CGI-I at Week 8 (EOS) on the change from baseline at Week 8 
(EOS) with treatment and baseline as fixed effect. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-
812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, Least 
Squares means of the treatment groups, differences between the LS treatment means 
and placebo (SPN-812 ER 200 mg minus Placebo and SPN-812 ER 400 mg minus 
Placebo), and 95% confidence intervals for the treatment differences will be computed. 
7.8.2.1 Key secondary analyses 
The analyses of key secondary objectives will be conducted on the following sequentially 
ordered endpoints for testing: 1) CGI-I, 2) Conners 3 – Parent composite T-score, and 
3) WFIRS-P. 
To preserve the overall type I error rate at 0.05 for the key secondary endpoints, a 
sequential testing procedure will be used with the following features.  
First, only dose or doses that are significantly different from placebo for the primary 
endpoint will be tested for secondary endpoints. If the primary endpoint analysis does not 
show a rejection of H01 (i.e., the 400 mg is not superior to placebo) then no multiplicity 
adjustment will be performed for any of the key secondary endpoints.  If the primary 
endpoint analysis indicates that only 400 mg dose is superior to placebo (only H01 is 
rejected), no multiplicity adjustment is required. Otherwise, multiplicity adjustment will be 
performed as in the following. 
The first of the secondary endpoints (CGI-I) will be used to test each treatment group to 
placebo using a sequential testing of the null hypotheses H01: No treatment mean 
difference between SPN-812 ER 400 mg group and placebo group and H02: No treatment 
mean difference between SPN-812 ER 200 mg group and placebo group will be 
performed. If H01 is not rejected, then H02 will not be tested and the conclusion will be that 
neither dose groups are efficacious. If H01 is rejected, then H02 will be tested. If H02 is 
rejected, then it will be concluded that both SPN-812 ER 400 mg and SPN-812 ER 200 mg 
are superior to Placebo. If H02 is not rejected, then it will be concluded that only SPN-812 
ER 400 mg is superior to placebo. Then, the second secondary endpoint (Conners 3) will 
be tested in the same manner but only using those doses that were retained from the 
primary and the first secondary endpoint. Finally, the third key secondary endpoint 
(WFIRS-P) will be tested in the same manner but only using those doses that were

retained from the primary, the first key secondary endpoint, and the second key secondary 
endpoints. 
a) CGI-I – The absolute value of CGI-I at EOS will be analyzed using ANCOVA with 
fixed effects for treatment and baseline as a covariate. To compare the treatment 
groups, the difference in LS means (SPN-812 ER 200 mg minus Placebo and 
SPN-812 ER 400 mg minus Placebo) will be presented along with the 95% 
confidence interval (CI) around the difference and p-value. 
b) Conners 3 - Parent - A composite T-score will be calculated by averaging over the 
six domains, and the change from baseline to Week 8 (EOS) in the composite T-
score will be analyzed using ANCOVA model with fixed effects for treatment and 
baseline as a covariate. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 
400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, Least Squares means, 
differences between the LS treatment means and placebo, and 95% confidence 
intervals for the treatment differences will be computed. 
c) WFIRS-P - The change from baseline in WFIRS-P to Week 8 (EOS) will be 
analyzed using ANCOVA model with fixed effects for treatment and baseline as a 
covariate. Missing Subscale scores and Total Score will be handled using multiple 
imputation under MAR assumption for inferential analyses. Each of the treatment 
groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The 
p-values, LS means of treatment groups, differences between the LS means and 
placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for the treatment differences will be 
computed. 
 
7.8.2.2 Additional secondary analyses 
Additional secondary analyses of the secondary efficacy variables will include: 
a) 50% Responder rate for ADHD-RS-5 - Percent reduction will be calculated as: % 
reduction = 100*(ADHD-RS-5 Total Score at Week 8 (EOS) - Baseline ADHD-RS-5 
Total Score)/Baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total Score. The proportion of responders will be 
presented for each treatment group. The 2-sided 95% CI around the difference in 
proportions (SPN-812 ER 200 mg minus Placebo, SPN-812 ER 400 mg minus 
Placebo) and the p-value from Pearson’s Chi-squared Test or Fisher’s Exact Test  will 
be presented. 
b) PSI-4-SF - The change from baseline in PSI-4 total score to Week 8 (EOS) will be 
analyzed using ANCOVA model with fixed effects for treatment and baseline as a 
covariate. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be 
compared with the Placebo. The p-values, LS means of treatment groups, differences 
between the LS means and placebo will be presented. 
c) ADHD-RS-5 Inattention and Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscales - The primary analysis 
for ADHD-RS-5 Total score will be repeated for the change from baseline to EOS in 
ADHD-RS-5 Inattention and the change from baseline to Week 8 (EOS) in 
Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscales.  
d) Conners 3 - Self – The analysis for Conners 3 - Parent will be repeated for Self scores. 
The key secondary analyses will be repeated for the per protocol population for 
supplementary analyses.

Sample Size and Power Considerations 
Seventy-two subjects per treatment group in the ITT population will yield 90% power at a 
significance level of 0.05 (two-sided) using a two-sample t-test with equal allocation to the 
treatment groups.  This assumes an effect size of 0.547, observed in the comparison of 
SPN-812 200 mg and placebo in the SPN-812 Phase IIb study (based on the CFB to 
endpoint in the ADHD-RS-IV total score).  A total of 300 subjects (100 subjects in each of 
the three treatment groups) will be randomized to account for an anticipated 27.9% of 
randomized subjects not completing the study. 
7.10 Interim Analysis 
No interim analysis will be performed 
7.11 Pharmacokinetic Analyses 
Plasma concentrations for viloxazine (and 5-hydroxy-viloxazine glucuronide, if applicable) 
will be provided. 
 
    Population PK data analysis will be performed using 
nonlinear mixed-effects modeling program (NONMEM).  The structural model for 
viloxazine (and 5-hydroxy-viloxazine glucuronide, if applicable) may include data from 
studies in which sampling was more intensive than in the present study.  Inclusion of 
covariates in the pharmacokinetic model will be accomplished through a systematic 
process.  For each NONMEM run, covariate graphics will be examined for relationships 
between covariates and the post hoc etas.  Covariates of interest will include (but not be 
limited to) age, gender, body size, etc. Population PK analyses will be reported separately 
from the clinical study report. 
7.12 Pharmacogenomic Analysis 
If PGx testing is performed, individual data will be presented as a listing and summaries 
will be tabulated using descriptive statistics.

7.13 Safety Analysis 
Safety analysis as described below will be conducted on the Safety Population. Safety 
data that will be evaluated include concomitant medications, AEs, clinical laboratory 
results, vital signs, ECGs, and findings from the physical examinations.  Suicidal ideation 
and suicidal behavior will be measured by C-SSRS. 
The incidence rate of AEs will be calculated by treatment group for each System Organ 
Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT).  The severity of the AEs and the relationship to 
SM will be summarized by treatment group for each SOC and PT. 
AEs will be summarized using discrete summaries at the subject and event level by 
System Organ Class and Preferred Term, and by severity and relationship separately for 
each treatment group.  Verbatim description and Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA) SOCs and PTs for all AEs will be contained in the subject data 
listings. 
Clinical laboratory values will be summarized by visit by treatment group using descriptive 
statistics for hematology and biochemistry.  For quantitative laboratory parameters, both 
actual values and change from Screening values will be summarized. 
Vital signs will be summarized by visit by treatment group using descriptive statistics.  Both 
actual values and change from baseline will be summarized. 
ECG results will be summarized by visit by treatment group using descriptive statistics (for 
quantitative ECG parameters) and frequency tables (for qualitative ECG parameters, 
including the overall ECG finding). 
C-SSRS outcomes will be summarized using number and percent of subjects by 
categories for suicidal ideation only, suicidal behavior only and suicidality (ideation and 
behavior combined). The summary will be presented by treatment groups.

filings to the regulatory authority.  These requirements should in no way prevent any 
immediate action from being taken by the Investigator, or by the Sponsor, in the interest 
of preserving the safety of all subjects included in the study.  If an immediate change to 
the protocol is felt by the Investigator to be necessary for safety reasons, the Medical 
Monitor, and IRB must be notified promptly. 
Changes to the protocol which are administrative in nature do not require formal protocol 
amendments or IRB approval, but the IRB must be kept informed of such changes.  In 
these cases, the Sponsor or CRO will send a letter to the IRB detailing such changes. 
8.3 
Data Quality Assurance 
This study will be organized, performed, and reported in compliance with the protocol, 
standard operating procedures (SOPs), working practice documents, and applicable 
regulations and guidelines.  Site visit audits may be made periodically by the Sponsor’s 
Quality Assurance team or qualified designee, which is an independent function from the 
study conduct team. 
8.3.1 Data Collection 
The primary source document will be the subject’s medical record.  If separate research 
records are maintained by the Investigator(s), both the medical record and the research 
record will be considered the source documents for the purposes of monitoring and 
auditing the study. 
Electronic data collection techniques will be used to collect data directly from the study 
sites using eCRFs.  The electronic data will be stored centrally in a fully validated clinical 
database. 
Data recorded on source documents will be transcribed into the eCRFs in accordance with 
the eCRF Completion Instructions that are provided to the study sites.  The Investigator is 
responsible for ensuring that all sections of each eCRF are completed correctly, and that 
entries can be verified against source documents.  The eCRFs will be monitored for 
completeness and accuracy against the source documents by the CRA(s) on a regular 
basis.  Inconsistencies between the eCRFs and source documents will be resolved in 
accordance with the principles of GCP. 
8.3.2 Clinical Data Management 
Data from eCRFs and other external data (e.g., laboratory data) will be entered into or 
merged with a clinical database as specified in the data management plan.  Quality control 
and data validation procedures will be applied to ensure the validity and accuracy of the 
clinical database.   
8.3.3 Database Quality Assurance 
In accordance with the vendor’s procedures, the clinical database will be reviewed and 
checked for omissions, apparent errors, and values requiring further clarification using 
computerized and manual procedures.  The procedure for handling missing data will be 
addressed in the SAP.  Data queries requiring clarification will be documented and 
returned to the study site for resolution.  Only authorized personnel will make corrections 
to the clinical database, and all corrections will be documented in an audit trail.  
8.3.4 Bioanalytical Sample Handling 
Viloxazine and 5-hydroxy-viloxazine glucuronide concentrations in plasma samples will be 
determined using a validated chromatographic method. Viloxazine concentrations will be

RATIONALE 
1. The 812P303 Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) was revised and updated based on the FDA review 
comments (FDA Advice Letter dated 19 July 2018, Ref ID 4294123).  The protocol was amended to 
reflect the changes in the revised SAP, including the following updates: 
 The secondary objectives and endpoints were updated and clarified to identify those considered 
“key” for data analysis and interpretation purposes. The exploratory objectives and endpoints 
were updated accordingly. 
 Methods for handling missing data and for conducting the sensitivity analyses were revised (e.g., 
the LOCF method will no longer be used).  
 Clarifications were made to the definitions of the analysis populations and to the subject 
disposition categories. 
 The section on the primary endpoint analysis was updated to include a fixed effect of age group 
and to provide new details with respect to the analysis of covariance (per FDA suggestion).  
 The Secondary Efficacy Analyses Sections were expanded to include descriptions of the key 
secondary analyses, additional secondary analyses, and subgroup analyses.  The Exploratory 
Analyses section was also added for the newly identified exploratory efficacy variables.

Each of the active treatment groups (SPN-
812 ER 200 and 400 mg) will be compared 
with placebo. The p-values, Least Squares 
(LS) of treatment means, differences 
between the LS treatment means and 
placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for 
the treatment differences will be 
computed. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Secondary: The CFB to EOS for continuous 
key secondary and additional endpoints 
will be analyzed using ANCOVA or ANOVA 
maximum likelihood (REML) approach. An 
unstructured (co)variance structure will be 
used to model the within subject errors. 
The primary efficacy variable, change from 
baseline in ADHD-RS-5 Total Score to 
Week 8 (EOS), will be analyzed using a 
Mixed Model for Repeated Measures 
(MMRM), which assumes that missing 
data are missing at random (MAR). The 
model will include fixed effect terms for 
baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total Score, age 
group, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-
visit interaction as independent variables. 
The model parameters will be estimated 
using restricted maximum likelihood 
method with unstructured variance-
covariance matrix and Kenward-Roger 
approximation to estimate denominator 
degrees of freedom. In case there is a 
convergence problem in the MMRM 
model with the unstructured variance 
covariance matrix, the first (co)variance 
structure which does not have 
convergence problem will be used for the 
analysis from the following ordered list: 1) 
Toeplitz, 2) Autoregressive of order 1, and 
3) Compound symmetry. 
The adjusted mean (LS Mean) of CFB to 
EOS for ADHD-RS-5 Total Score for each 
treatment group (Placebo, SPN-812 ER 200 
mg and SPN-812 ER 400 mg) will be 
presented, along with the corresponding 
standard error. Each of the active 
treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 and 400 
mg) will be compared with placebo. The p-
values, Least Squares (LS) of treatment 
means, differences between the LS 
treatment means and placebo, and 95% 
confidence intervals for the treatment 
differences will be computed. 
Sensitivity analysis: The sensitivity analysis 
assumes that missing ADHD-RS-5 Total 
Scores are missing not at random (MNAR). 
Placebo-based multiple imputation will be 
used to fill in missing values.

SM (Guy 1976).  The Clinical Global Impression – Severity of Illness (CGI-S) is a single 
item clinician rating of clinician’s assessment of the severity of the ADHD symptoms in 
relation to the clinician’s total experience with patients with ADHD.  The Clinical Global 
Impression – Improvement Scale (CGI-I) is an assessment of how much the patient’s 
illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of 
treatment. Both CGI-S and CGI-I are rated on a 7-point scale of 1 to 7 with 7 being 
“extremely ill” or “very much worse”, respectively.  Successful therapy is indicated by a 
lower overall score in subsequent testing.   
• CGI-S will be evaluated by the Investigator at Screening and Baseline on a 7-point 
scale with 1=Normal,    2=Borderline ill, 3=Mildly ill, 4=Moderately ill, 5=Markedly ill, 
6=Severely ill, and 7=Extremely ill.    
• CGI-I, relative to the condition at baseline, will be evaluated by the Investigator at

7.1 General Considerations, p.33 
When inferential analyses are conducted 
for continuous variables, they will 
primarily be based on parametric general 
linear models such as analysis of 
covariance or analysis of variance. 
For variables that do not meet the 
normality assumptions, nonparametric 
methods, such as the Wilcoxon rank-sum 
method, will be used. 
 
Categorical variables will be analyzed 
using categorical response methods such 
as Pearson’s Chi-square test.  If expected 
frequencies are too small for asymptotic 
assumptions, exact testing techniques will 
be used. 
 
Treatment effects for all efficacy variables 
will be evaluated based on a two- sided 
significance level of 0.05 and the 
interaction effects at 0.10. 
Subject characteristics are assumed to be 
comparable at the start of the study, as

7.2 Handling of Missing Data, p.34 
For primary efficacy analysis, missing data 
will be assumed as Missing at Random 
(MAR) and will be handled using Mixed 
Models Repeated Measures (MMRM) 
technique according to the MMRM 
paradigm. Under MAR, the propensity for 
a data point to be missing is not related to 
the missing data, but is related to some of 
the observed data. For secondary and first 
sensitivity analyses, the last observation 
carried forward (LOCF) method of 
imputation will be used. The underlying 
assumption for using the LOCF method is 
based on the fact that 35% of subjects 
early terminated (ET) before completion 
of the Phase II 202 study as lost-to-follow-
up. It is assumed that majority of subject 
dropout in the Phase III trial will follow the 
same pattern and hence, the assumption 
of Missing Completely at Random (MCAR) 
can be applied and the LOCF imputation 
for missing data can be used. 
7.2 Handling of Missing Data, p.36 
For With respect to the primary efficacy 
analysis, missing data ADHD-RS-5 Total 
Scores will be assumed as to be Mmissing 
at Rrandom (MAR), that is, given the 
observed data, the reason for the missing 
data does not depend on the unseen data. 
and will be handled using The Mixed 
Models for Repeated Measures (MMRM) 
technique according to the MMRM 
paradigm method, implemented via SAS® 
PROC MIXED (SAS/STAT Software), will be 
used for handling missing ADHD-RS-5 Total 
Scores under MAR assumption. Under 
MAR, the propensity for a data point to be 
missing is not related to the missing data, 
but is related to some of the observed 
data. For secondary and first sensitivity 
analyses, the last observation carried 
forward (LOCF) method of imputation will 
be used. The underlying assumption for 
using the LOCF method is based on the fact 
that 35% of subjects early terminated (ET) 
before completion of the Phase II 202 study 
as lost to follow up. It is assumed that 
majority of subject dropout in the Phase III 
trial will follow the same pattern and 
hence, the assumption of Missing 
Completely at Random (MCAR) can be 
applied and the LOCF imputation for 
missing data can be used.  
(Added) 
The sensitivity analysis for the primary 
endpoint will be performed by assuming 
that missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores are 
missing not at random (MNAR) meaning 
that the probability that an observation is 
missing may depend on its underlying 
unobserved value.  
For analysis of secondary endpoints, 
missing values will be assumed as MAR.  
For safety analyses, missing dates for AEs 
and non-study medication use will be 
imputed as described in the SAP. Missing

H1: µ1 < µ3, a comparison of the LS mean 
of SPN-812 ER 400 mg dose group and 
with the LS mean of Placebo group, at the 
5% significance level.  If H0 is not rejected, 
then formal testing stops and the 
conclusion will be that there is insufficient 
evidence to conclude that both the LS 
mean of SPN-812 ER 400 mg dose and the 
LS mean of SPN-812 ER 200 mg are less 
than the LS mean of the Placebo group.  In 
other words, neither dose group is 
efficacious. 
If H0 is rejected, then formal testing will be 
performed at step two with a test of H0: 
µ2 = µ3 vs. H1: µ2 < µ3, a comparison of 
the LS mean of SPN-812 ER 200 mg and

not rejected, then H02 will not be tested 
and the conclusion will be that neither 
dose groups are efficacious. If H01 is 
rejected, then H02 will be tested. If H02 is 
rejected then it will be concluded that 
both SPN-812 ER 400 mg and SPN-812 ER

rejected and H02 is not rejected then it will 
be concluded that only SPN-812 ER 400 mg 
is superior to placebo.

The analyses of key secondary objectives 
will be conducted on the following 
sequentially ordered endpoints for testing: 
1) CGI-I, 2) Conners 3 – Parent composite 
T-score, and 3) WFIRS-P. 
To preserve the overall type I error rate at 
0.05 for the key secondary endpoints, a 
sequential testing procedure will be used 
with the following features.  
First, only dose or doses that are 
significantly different from placebo for the 
primary endpoint will be tested for 
secondary endpoints. If the primary 
endpoint analysis does not show a 
rejection of H01 (i.e., the 400 mg is not 
superior to placebo) then no multiplicity 
adjustment will be performed for any of 
the key secondary endpoints.  If the 
primary endpoint analysis indicates that 
only 400 mg dose is superior to placebo 
(only H01 is rejected), no multiplicity 
adjustment is required. Otherwise, 
multiplicity adjustment will be performed 
as in the following. 
The first of the secondary endpoints (CGI-
I) will be used to test each treatment 
group to placebo using a sequential 
testing of the null hypotheses H01: No 
treatment mean difference between SPN-

812 ER 200 mg minus Placebo and SPN-812 
ER 400 mg minus Placebo) will be 
presented along with the 95% confidence 
interval (CI) around the difference and p-
value. 
b) Conners 3 - Parent - Treatment 
comparisons will be performed using 
ANCOVA or ANOVA on CFB to EOS as 
appropriate. A composite T-score will be 
calculated by averaging over the six 
domains, and the change from baseline to 
Week 8 (EOS) in the composite T-score will 
be analyzed using ANCOVA model with 
fixed effects for treatment and baseline as 
a covariate. Each of the treatment groups 
(SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be 
compared with the Placebo. The p-values, 
Least Squares means, differences between 
the LS treatment means and placebo, and 
95% confidence intervals for the 
treatment differences will be computed. 
b c) 30% Responder Rate  The proportion 
of subjects with ≥30% improvement 
(decrease) from baseline to EOS in ADHD

Rationale 
RS V Total Score  will be calculated for each 
treatment group. The 2 sided 95% CI 
around the difference in proportions (SPN
812 ER dose minus Placebo) and the p
value from Pearson’s chi squared test will 
be presented. WFIRS-P - The change from 
baseline in WFIRS-P to Week 8 (EOS) will 
be analyzed using ANCOVA model with 
fixed effects for treatment and baseline as 
a covariate. Missing Subscale scores and 
Total Score will be handled using multiple 
imputation under MAR assumption for 
inferential analyses. Each of the treatment 
groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) 
will be compared with the Placebo. The p-
values, LS means of treatment groups, 
differences between the LS means and 
placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for 
the treatment differences will be 
computed. 
c) Hyperactivity/Impulsivity and Inattention 
subscales of ADHD RS V  analyzed as for 
Conners 3 
(Added) 
To preserve the overall type I error rate at 
0.05 for the key secondary endpoints, a 
sequential testing procedure will be used 
with the following features. First, only 
dose or doses that are significantly 
different from placebo for the primary 
endpoint will be tested for secondary 
endpoints. If the primary endpoint 
analysis indicates that only one dose (400 
mg) is significant, no multiplicity 
adjustment is required. Otherwise, 
multiplicity adjustment will be performed 
as in the following. 
The first of the secondary endpoints (CGI-
I) will be used to test each treatment 
group to placebo using a sequential 
testing of the null hypotheses H01: No 
treatment mean difference between SPN-
812 ER 400 mg group and placebo group 
and H02: No treatment mean difference 
between SPN-812 ER 200 mg group and 
placebo group will be performed. If H01 is 
not rejected, then H02 will not be tested 
and the conclusion will be that neither

dose groups are efficacious. If H01 is 
rejected, then H02 will be tested. If H02 is 
rejected, then it will be concluded that 
both SPN-812 ER 400 mg and SPN-812 ER 
200 mg are superior to Placebo. If H02 is 
not rejected, then it will be concluded that 
only SPN-812 ER 400 mg is superior to 
placebo. Then, the second secondary 
endpoint (Conners 3) will be tested in the 
same manner but only using those doses 
that were retained from the primary and 
the first secondary endpoint. Finally, the 
third key secondary endpoint (WFIRS-P) 
will be tested in the same manner but only 
using those doses that were retained from 
the primary, the first key secondary 
endpoint, and the second key secondary 
endpoints.

Additional secondary analyses of the 
secondary efficacy variables will include: 
treatment comparisons using ANCOVA or 
ANOVA on CFB to EOS, as appropriate for 
the following: 
a) WFIRS P 50% Responder rate for ADHD-
RS-5 - Percent reduction will be calculated 
as: % reduction = 100*(ADHD-RS-5 Total 
Score at Week 8 (EOS) - Baseline ADHD-RS-
5 Total Score)/Baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total 
Score. The proportion of responders will 
be presented for each treatment group. 
The 2-sided 95% CI around the difference 
in proportions (SPN-812 ER 200 mg minus 
Placebo, SPN-812 ER 400 mg minus 
Placebo) and the p-value from Pearson’s 
Chi-squared Test or Fisher’s Exact Test  will 
be presented. 
b) PSI-4-SF - The change from baseline in 
PSI-4 total score to Week 8 (EOS) will be 
analyzed using ANCOVA model with fixed 
effects for treatment and baseline as a 
covariate. Each of the treatment groups 
(SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be

1 Introduction 
This document describes the statistical analyses and data presentations to be performed on Study 
812P303.  This Phase III, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, 3-arm, parallel-group, and 
placebo controlled pivotal study of SPN-812 ER is titled “Evaluation of SPN-812 ER 200 and 400 
mg Efficacy and Safety in Children with ADHD - A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, and Pivotal 
Trial.” 
The purpose of this statistical analysis plan (SAP) is to ensure the credibility of the study findings 
by specifying the statistical approaches to the analysis of the data prior to database lock. This SAP 
covers the planned analyses of all data collected on the eCRFs and diary pages, and will identify 
handling of data issues. It describes the efficacy and safety variables, anticipated data 
manipulations, and other details of the analyses not provided in the study protocol. The statistical 
analysis plan presented in this document will supersede the statistical analysis methods described 
in the clinical protocol. Any deviations/changes from the planned analyses described in this SAP 
will be identified, with justification, in the appropriate section of the clinical study report. This 
SAP is based on the protocol 812P303, Version 4.0, dated 17Sept2018. 
2 Study Objectives

3 Study Description 
3.1 Study Design 
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-arm, parallel-group study, 
to assess the efficacy and safety of SPN-812 ER as monotherapy for the treatment of children 6-11 
years old with ADHD.  Approximately 300 subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio of placebo 
or one of the two active treatment arms (SPN-812 ER 200 or 400 mg).  Following up to four weeks 
of screening, subjects will be randomized and undergo three weeks of titration followed by five 
weeks of maintenance for a total of eight weeks of treatment and total study duration of up to 12 
weeks.  The study schematic appears in Figure 1.

3.3 Procedures for Discontinuing Treatment and Removal of Subjects from Study 
Subjects will be considered to have completed the study if they complete all visits up to and including 
Week 8 (EOS). 
All subjects who discontinue early will complete the procedures listed for Week 8 (EOS). 
All reasons for screening failure will be recorded. If the subject passes screening but fails eligibility 
at Baseline, the reason(s) will also be recorded. 
The Investigator(s) or subjects themselves may stop SM treatment at any time for safety or personal 
reasons.  A subject is free to withdraw from the study at any time for any reason without prejudice 
to their future medical care by the physician or at the institution.  The Sponsor may also withdraw 
the subject at any time in the interest of subject safety.  The withdrawal of a subject from the study 
should be discussed where possible with the Medical Monitor and/or Clinical Research Associate 
(CRA) before the subject stops SM.  Subjects removed from the study for any reason will not be 
replaced. 
Reasons for subject discontinuation may include: 
 Withdrawal of consent  
 Noncompliance  
 Occurrence of unmanageable AEs 
 Lost to follow-up 
 Other 
The primary reason for subject discontinuation must be recorded in the subject’s medical record and 
on the eCRF.  If a subject is withdrawn for more than one reason, each reason should be documented 
in the source document and the most medically significant reason should be entered on the eCRF. 
If a subject misses doses of SM during this study, the Investigator shall counsel the subject/caregiver 
on the importance of compliance.  If the subject has consistently missed doses, he or she may be 
discontinued from the study at the discretion of the Investigator and in consultation with the Medical 
Monitor; all procedures for discontinuation will be followed. 
3.4 Study Treatments 
3.4.1 Methods of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Group 
Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio at Visit 2 (Baseline) and will receive either 
placebo, SPN-812 ER 200 mg/day, or SPN-812 ER 400 mg/day. 


Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 
          18 October 2018 
 
 
Allocation of study treatment will occur centrally via an interactive web response system (IWRS) 
using a randomization schedule to determine the kit assignment for each subject being randomized 
3.4.2 Treatment, Dose, and Mode of Administration 
SPN-812 (Viloxazine hydrochloride extended-release tablet) or matching placebo tablets will be 
administered orally (PO) once daily (QD). The initial dose may be taken at the clinic during the 
Baseline Visit, with the next dose taken the next morning. Subjects will be titrated up at 100 mg/week 
to the final dose (1:1:1) as follows: 
Treatment A: Placebo 
Treatment B: SPN-812 ER 200 mg/day (2  100 mg SPN-812 ER) 
Treatment C: SPN-812 ER 400 mg/day (4 100 mg SPN-812 ER) 
3.4.3 Duration of Treatment and Study Duration 
Total subject duration on study is approximately 12 weeks. 
 Pre-treatment phase: 4 weeks  
 Treatment phase: 8 weeks  
o Titration period: 3 weeks  
o Maintenance period: 5 weeks  
3.4.4 Blinding 
The subject and all personnel involved with the conduct and the interpretation of the study, including 
the Investigators, study site personnel, the Sponsor and Contract Research Organization (CRO) 
clinical staff, including the Medical Monitor, will be blinded to the medication codes.  A limited 
number of Supernus personnel will perform and interpret the plasma assays for the population PK 
analysis and will be aware of these plasma data during the study. These personnel will not have 
access to the randomization schedule, are not associated with the clinical conduct of the study, and 
will not reveal to any clinical personnel involved in the study the treatment to which a subject will 
be assigned.  Randomization schedule data will be kept strictly confidential, filed securely by the 
IWRS vendor, and accessible only to authorized persons until the time of unblinding. 
3.5 Sample Size and Power Considerations  
Seventy-two subjects per treatment group in the ITT population will yield 90% power at a 
significance level of 0.05 (two-sided) using a two-sample t-test with equal allocation to the treatment

groups.  This assumes an effect size of 0.547, observed in the comparison of SPN-812 200 mg and 
placebo in the SPN-812 Phase IIb study (based on the CFB to endpoint in the ADHD-RS-IV total 
score).  A total of 300 subjects (100 subjects in each of the three treatment groups) will be randomized 
to account for an anticipated 27.9% of randomized subjects not completing the study. 
4 Definitions and Derivations 
1. Baseline: Unless specified otherwise, baseline is defined as the non-missing value collected 
most recent to and before the time of the very first dose of the SM. 
2. The study day (DY) is calculated as Visit date minus Reference date + 1 day if the visit date 
occurs on or after the reference date or Visit date minus Reference date if  the visit date occurs 
before the Reference date, where the Reference date is defined as the first dose date (DY=1) 
3. The change from baseline at  a given Visit = observed value at that Visit minus observed 
value at baseline  
4. ADHD-RS-5 total score =sum of scores for the 18 behaviors 
5. ADHD-RS-5 Inattention subscale score = sum of scores for the first 9 behaviors 
6. ADHD-RS-5 Hyperactivity/Impulsivity Subscale score = sum of scores for the last 9 
behaviors  
7. Conners 3-Parent Reported score: Composite T-score calculated by averaging over the 6 
domains 
8. Conners 3-Parent Reported score: T-score for individual domain: inattention, 
hyperactivity/impulsivity, aggression, executive functioning, learning problems, and 
relationships 
9. Conners 3-Self Reported score domains: Composite T-score over the 5 domains 
10. Conners 3-Self Reported score domains: inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, aggression, 
learning problems, and relationships  
11. WFIRS-P score=average of all 50 items 
12. WFIRS-P subscale scores: average of items of following 6 subdomains: Family, School 
(learning and behavior), Life Skills, Child’s Self-Concept, Social Activities, and Risky 
Activities 
13. PSI-4-SF: score=sum of all 36 items  
14. PSI-4-SF: subscale scores: sum of items of following 3 subdomains: parental distress (PD), 
parent-child dysfunctional interaction (P-CDI), and difficult child (DC)

5 Study Variables  
5.1 Primary Efficacy Variable  
The ADHD-RS-5 is an ADHD-specific rating scale designed and validated to assess current ADHD 
symptomatology as described in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental 
Disorders (DSM-V).  The scale consists of 18 items that directly correspond to the 18 DSM-V 
symptoms and are further subdivided into two subscales: Hyperactivity/Impulsivity and 
Inattentiveness (DuPaul, 2016). The ADHD-RS-5 scale rates the frequency and severity of each 
symptom on a 4-point Likert-type scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe) and allows assessment of 
functional impairments linked to each symptom dimension.  The ADHD-RS-5 rating scale is one of 
the most commonly used measures of drug efficacy in the treatment of ADHD and is the primary 
outcome measure for this study.  The ADHD-RS-5 Home Version: Child instrument will be 
administered and scored by Investigator at each weekly visit from Baseline through EOS. 
5.2 Secondary Efficacy Variables 
5.2.1 Clinical Global Impression-Improvement  
The CGI scale was developed to provide a brief, stand-alone assessment of the clinician’s view of a 
subject’s global functioning prior to and after administration of a SM (Guy 1976).  The Clinical 
Global Impression – Severity of Illness (CGI-S) is a single item clinician rating of clinician’s 
assessment of the severity of the ADHD symptoms in relation to the clinician’s total experience with 
patients with ADHD. The Clinical Global Impression – Improvement Scale (CGI-I) is an assessment 
of how much the patient’s illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the 
beginning of treatment. Both CGI-S and CGI-I are rated on a 7-point scale of 1 to 7 with 7 being 
“extremely ill” or “very much worse”, respectively. Successful therapy is indicated by a lower overall 
score in subsequent testing.  
CGI-I, relative to the condition at baseline, will be evaluated by the Investigator at each post-baseline 
visit on a 7-point scale with 1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 
4=No change, 5=Minimally worse, 6=Much worse, and 7=Very much worse.   
5.2.2 Conners 3 
The Conners 3rd Edition™ (Conners 3) is a focused diagnostic tool for assessment of ADHD and 
associated learning, behavior, and emotional problems in children ages 6 to 18 years (Sparrow, 
2010). The scale is based on the solid findings and key elements of its predecessor, the Conners 
Rating Scales–Revised (CRS–R™), but offers a more refined assessment of ADHD and comorbid

          18 October 2018 
 
 
disorders (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder). The Conners 3 instrument 
includes items related to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, as well as assessments of 
executive functioning, learning problems, and relationships. Like previous versions, the Conners 3 
combines teacher, parent, and student reports to provide a particularly detailed and comprehensive 
evaluation of student behavior as observed in different settings. Teacher, parent, and self-report (for 
8-18y.o.) rating scales are all available in long and short versions.  The short forms of Parent, 
Teacher, and Self Reports of Conners 3 are comprised (respectively) of 45, 41, and 41 items.  All 
Conners 3 scale versions are scored on a 4-point scale (0-3), where a higher score indicates more 
severe symptom presentation.   
The Conners 3 scales will be administered at Visit 2 (Baseline) and at Week 8 (EOS) according to 
subjects’ age as follows: 
o Age 6-11: Conners 3 – Parent: Short (Conners 3-PS) 
o Age 8-11 only: Conners 3 – Self-Report; Short (Conners 3-SRS) 
 
5.2.3 WFIRS-P 
The WFIRS instrument evaluates ADHD-related functional impairment (Gajria, 2015, Thompson, 
2017).  This scale allows the clinician to assess to what degree a patient’s behavior and emotional 
problems affect his/her ability to accomplish daily tasks and interactions and helps to identify specific 
areas of difficulty.  The scale has been validated in the ADHD population; the parent-based version 
completed by the parent/guardian of a child is used in this study and comprises 50 items grouped 
into six domains: Family, School (learning and behavior), Life Skills, Child’s Self-Concept, Social 
Activities, and Risky Activities.  The items relate to the past month and are scored using a 4-point 
Likert scale. Higher WFIRS-P scores indicate more severe functional impairment.  This instrument 
will be completed at Baseline and EOS by the parent/caregiver. 
5.2.4 PSI-4-SF 
The Parenting Stress Index, Fourth Edition (PSI-4) questionnaire evaluates the magnitude of stress 
in the parent-child relationship based on the parent’s perception of the child’s characteristics, the 
personal characteristics of the parent, and the interaction between the parent and the child (Abidin, 
1995).  The short form of the PSI-4 (PSI-4-SF) consists of 36 items divided into three domains: 
parental distress, parent-child dysfunctional interaction, and difficult child.  The PSI-4-SF scale was 
developed for parents of children ages 1 month to 12 years.  This scale will be completed at Baseline 
and EOS by the parent/caregiver.

5.3 Pharmacokinetic Variables  
 
 
5.4 Safety Assessments  
Safety assessments include adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical 
examinations, ECGs, and the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).  
6 Statistical Methods 
6.1 General Principles 
All statistical analysis will be performed using SAS version 9.2 or higher by 
, which is the 
designated CRO. 
 will be responsible for creating TLF reports by SAS programming and 
delivering the reports as well as the programs to Supernus at the completion of the study.   
All tabulations of analysis results will include summaries for the following three treatments: SPN-
812 ER 400 mg, SPN-812 ER 200 mg, and placebo. 
Where appropriate, variables will be summarized descriptively (frequency count and percent for 
categorical variables, and number of subjects (n), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, 
and maximum for continuous variables).  
Means, least-squares (LS) means and medians will be presented to 1 more decimal place than the 
recorded data.  Standard deviations and standard errors will be presented to two (2) more decimal 
places than the recorded data.  Minimum and maximum values will be presented using the same 
number of decimal places as the recorded data.  Confidence intervals will be presented using the 
same number of decimal places as the parameters (e.g., mean).  Percentages will be presented to one 
(1) decimal place. P-values will use four decimal places. 
Categorical variables will be analyzed using categorical response methods such as Pearson’s Chi-
square test.  If expected frequencies are too small for asymptotic assumptions, exact testing 
techniques will be used. 
The data summaries will be accompanied by individual subject data listings, as specified in Sections 
16.2 and 16.4 of ICH Guidance E3, sorted by unique subject identifier.  All data available from the 
electronic case report forms (eCRFs) will be listed.  Unscheduled measurements will be excluded 
from the descriptive statistics and statistical analysis but will be included in listings. The

“EARLY_TERMINATION VISIT” for early discontinued subjects will be assumed to correspond 
to Visit 10 for statistical summaries but displayed as is in listings. 
Derived analysis datasets will be produced from the SDTM data.  Specifications for derived datasets 
will be developed. Analysis datasets to be created will include ADQS (Questionnaire analysis 
dataset), ADEFF1 and ADEFF2 (efficacy analysis dataset2), ADSL (subject-level analysis dataset), 
ADAE (Adverse event analysis dataset) and other as appropriate.  
The ADEFF1 analysis dataset will be used for programing the primary analysis table and will contain 
variables for Subject ID, BASE (Baseline (Visit 2)), AVAL (values at Visit 3 –Visit 10), CHG (for 
CFB), ITT Flag variable, Treatment, and other necessary variables to be created. For each subject 
there will be nine records associated with nine visits: Baseline and Visit 3 - Visit 10. The ADEFF2 
analysis dataset will be created based on MI assuming MNAR for sensitivity analysis and MI 
assuming MAR for secondary analyses. The ADEFF2 will contain 100 imputations of each record 
of each visit for the variables in ADEF1 with IMPUTNR variable.  
6.2 Visit Windows 
The Visit windows depicted in the table below will be used to evaluate subject compliance with 
scheduled visits with respect to protocol deviation. However, no visit windows will be used for 
statistical analysis; data will be analyzed according to the scheduled visit they are associated with in 
the CRF.

according to the treatment they received. 
6.3.3 Intent-to-treat (ITT) population 
All randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug and have a baseline and at least 
one post-randomization ADHD-RS-5 assessment. Subjects will be analyzed according to the 
treatment to which they were randomized. 
6.3.4 Per-Protocol (PP) population 
The Per Protocol (PP) population consists of all subjects in the ITT population who have completed 
all 10 visits with no missing ADHD-RS-5 assessments and no major protocol violations. Subjects 
will be analyzed according to the treatment they received. 
The analysis population will be indicated as a subtitle in each table, listing and figure. 
6.4 Subject Disposition  
A disposition of subjects will include the number and percentage of subjects in each of the following 
categories:

Subject randomization schedule will be listed.  Subjects whose randomization codes are unblinded 
during the conduct of the study will be listed along with the reason for un-blinding (Listing 16.1.7). 
Subject disposition for screened subjects will be presented in Table 14.1.1.2. Subject enrollment 
distribution by site will be presented for the ITT population in Tables 14.1.1.3.  
Data listing will be presented for subject disposition among all randomized subjects (Listing 
16.2.1.1), screen failure among screened subjects (Listing 16.2.1.2), subject visit status at each visit 
(Listing 16.2.1.3), and visit dates (Listing 16.2.1.4) among all randomized subjects. Subject’s 
inclusion and exclusion criteria response will be listed (Listings 16.2.2.1 - 16.2.2.2). 
6.5 Protocol Deviations 
The date of and reason for protocol deviations will be documented in all cases. Major protocol 
deviations will include the following but not limited to:  
1) Subjects enrolled in the study but did not meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria.  
2) Subjects who missed doses as per the treatment he was randomized to.  
3) Subjects who received non-randomized medication.  
4) Subject’s treatment compliance < 80% or > 120%. 
Major protocol violations will be finalized before the database lock and will be added to the above 
list. 
Protocol violations will be summarized in Table 14.1.1.4.

Subjects with major protocol deviations will be listed based on all randomized subjects.  The listing 
will include a brief description of the deviation, deviation category, and if applicable, study day when 
deviation occurred along with other pertinent information (Listing 16.2.2.3). 
6.6 Handling Missing Data 
 6.6.1 Missing Efficacy Variables 
Missing items in ADHD-RS-5 scale 
1. If more than 3 items of ADHD-RS-5 have missing or invalid data, the total score will be set 
to missing. If the total score is missing then both subscales (inattention or Hyperactivity/ 
Impulsivity) will be set to missing.  
 
2. If 3 items of ADHD-RS-5 or less have missing or invalid data, the values for the missing 
items will be imputed using the mean of the non-missing items rounded to the nearest integer. 
With respect to the primary analysis, missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores will be assumed to be 
missing at random (MAR) (See Panel on Handling Missing Data in Clinical Trials, (2010) National 
Research Council: The Prevention and Treatment of Missing Data in Clinical Trials) that is, given 
the observed data, the reason for the missing data does not depend on the unseen data. The Mixed 
Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) method, implemented via SAS® PROC MIXED 
(SAS/STAT Software), will be used for handling missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores under MAR 
assumption.  The motivation behind MMRM is to solve the issue of addressing an on-treatment 
question, i.e. what happens if a typical subject completes their assigned treatment. MMRM does this 
by conditioning on the previous observations and other covariates that may inform on both 
missingness and outcome.  
A sensitivity analysis will be performed by assuming missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores are not 
missing at random (MNAR) (Yang, 2014), that is, the probability that an observation is missing may 
depend on its underlying unobserved value. This will be implemented using SAS® PROC MI and 
SAS® PROC MIANALYZE (SAS/STAT Software). 
For secondary endpoints, missing values will be assumed as missing at random (MAR). Missing data 
will be imputed using SAS® PROC MI (SAS/STAT Software).   
6.6.2 Missing Safety Variables 
Missing dates for occurrence of adverse events and non-study medication use will be imputed using 
the following rules:  


Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
    Protocol 812P303 
Page 26 of 42 
CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY 
          18 October 2018 
 
 
1. Start dates with both missing day and month will be set to the 1st of January of that year, 
except as noted in rule 4 below. End dates with both missing day and month will be set to the 
31st of December of that year.  
2. Start dates with missing day only will be imputed with the first day of the month, except as 
noted in rule 4 below. End dates with missing day only will be imputed with the last day of 
the month.  
3. Start dates with missing month only will be imputed by setting the month to January of the 
year. End dates with missing month only will be imputed to December of the year.  
4. If a start date has missing day only with month and year the same as the month and year of 
the first dose date, then the start date will be set to the first dose date. If a start date has missing 
day and month with the year the same as the year of the first dose date, then the start date will 
be set to the first dose date. 
If a start or end date are completely missing, then the date will be imputed with the dates of the first 
or last date of treatment, respectively. If an AE is ongoing (AEENRTPT= ONGOING) or a non-
study medication is ongoing (CMENRTPT= ONGOING), the end date will be imputed by the end 
of study date (ADSL.EOSDT). 
 
Missing data for all other safety endpoints will not be imputed. 
6.7 Demographic and Baseline Characteristics  
Demographic/baseline variables include age, age group, sex, ethnicity, race, height and weight at 
screening, and BMI. Baseline disease characteristics include ADHD-RS-5 total score, inattention 
subscale score and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscale score. Both will be summarized for the ITT 
population in Table 14.1.2.1 using descriptive statistics for continuous variables and using counts 
and percentages for categorical variables. 
All demographic and baseline characteristics will be included in the subject data listing among all 
randomized subjects (Listing 16.2.4.1). The analysis populations will be listed in Listing 16.2.4.2. 
Baseline comparability among the treatment groups will be presented in Table 14.1.2.2 using a chi-
square test for the categorical variables, and using an F-test for the continuous variables. These p-
values will be used for descriptive purposes, and will not be considered as the formal basis for 
determining factors to be included in statistical analysis model. 
Mini-KID data will only be listed (Listings 16.2.4.3.1 and 16.2.4.3.2).

6.8 Medical and Psychiatric History 
Medical history will be coded using MedDRA version 20.1. All medical and psychiatric history will 
be listed. Medical and psychiatric history will be summarized by body system for each treatment 
group in Table 14.1.2.3 for the safety population.  The table will be sorted in alphabetic order by 
system organ class and the statistics n and % will be presented by treatment where: n is the number 
of subjects who present at least one occurrence of the medical history, and % is the percentage of 
subjects.  The denominator used for calculating the percentages will be the total number of subjects 
included in the safety population in each treatment group. The tables will include two (2) parts: is 
the condition still active at screening (part a) or not (part b).  
The pregnancy test results and urine drug screen will be listed in Listings 16.2.4.4.1 and 16.2.4.4.2. 
The medical history will be listed in Listings 16.2.4.5 - 16.2.4.7. 
6.9 Concomitant Medications  
Concomitant medications will be assigned an 11-digit code using the World Health Organization 
Drug Dictionary (WHODD version 20170901 (Classic) Format B3) drug codes. Concomitant 
medications will be further coded to the appropriate Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical (ATC) code 
indicating therapeutic classification. Concomitant medications will be presented for each treatment 
period during which the medication was taken (Titration period, Maintenance period, and combined 
Titration and Maintenance period). A tabular summary of concomitant medications by drug class 
will be presented for the safety population in Table 14.1.2.4. 
A subject data listing will be provided to include the reported medication name, the WHODD drug 
codes, ATC codes, study day and pertinent subject information (Listing 16.2.4.8). 
6.10 Study Medication Exposure and Compliance  
Duration of exposure is defined as the total number of days a subject is exposed to any study 
treatment. This will be calculated for each subject by taking the difference between the date of last 
dose minus the date of the first dose, plus 1 (date of last dose minus date of first dose +1).  
Treatment duration will be categorized in days as: Day 1 to ≤ Day 9, Day 10 to ≤ Day 16, Day 17 to 
≤ Day 23, Day 24 to ≤ Day 30, Day 31 to ≤ Day 37, Day 38 to ≤ Day 44, Day 45 to ≤ Day 51, Day 
52 to ≤ Day 58 and ≥ Day 59. The number and percentage of subjects in each duration group will be 
summarized by treatment group for the Safety population. 
Duration of Treatment exposure will also be summarized using descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, 
median, minimum, and maximum).

          18 October 2018 
 
 
Percent of study drug compliance is defined as {(number of capsules dispensed minus number of 
capsules returned) / [4*(date of last dose minus date of first dose + 1)]}* 100%. If for a certain period 
no capsules are returned, the data is considered missing and not accounted for, and therefore this 
period will also not accounted for in the denominator (=number of planned doses).  
For each treatment, SM compliance will be summarized by compliance category (<80%, 80-120%, 
and >120%) using number and percent of subjects in each compliance category for the safety 
population. Study medication compliance will also be summarized as a continuous variable using 
descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum) for each 
treatment.  
The summary of duration of exposure to study medication and compliance will be presented for each 
treatment period (Titration period, Maintenance period, and combined Titration and Maintenance 
period) in Table 14.1.2.5 and Listings 16.2.5.1.1 - 16.2.5.1.3.  
6.11 Site Pooling  
This is a multicenter study. The primary analysis will be performed without site as a factor. However, 
for certain exploratory analyses small sites (defined as those with sample size <12 ITT subjects/site 
with uneven distribution of treatment groups) will be pooled to a group based on the geographic 
proximity. The purpose of pooling is to ensure that each site contains a sufficient number of subjects 
for statistical analyses that consider site as a factor. 
6.12 Multiple Comparisons/Multiplicity 
 This is a 3-arm parallel group design. To account for the potential Type I error rate inflation due to 
multiple dose group comparisons to placebo, a sequential testing procedure with a fixed testing 
method will be used. The details of this multiplicity adjustment are defined in Sections 6.13.1 and 
6.14.1. 
6.13 Efficacy Analyses 
The efficacy analyses will be based on the ITT population and will be performed on ADHD-RS-5 
total score, Conners 3-PS composite T score, Conners 3-SRS composite T score, WFIRS-P total 
score and PSI-4-SF total scores.  
All confidence intervals, statistical tests, and resulting p-values will be reported as two-sided and 
will be assessed at the 5% significance level and interactions at 10%.

With respect to Analysis of Covariance, the Gamma regression will be used on the original scale, if 
the normality assumption for the standard ANCOVA model is not met based on diagnostic residual 
plots based on the data before imputation. 
Multiplicity will be adjusted for the primary endpoint and key secondary endpoints. 
The mean profiles of ADHD-RS-5 total score, Conners 3-PS composite T score, Conners 3-SRS 
composite T score, WFIRS-P total score, PSI-4-SF score and CGI-I score will be presented 
graphically by treatment group and scheduled study visit. In addition, plots of the Cumulative 
Distribution Functions of Change from Baseline in ADHD-RS-5 will be presented (Figures 14.2.1.1 
- 14.2.6.2) 
For supportive analysis, the absolute value and change from baseline to Week 8 (EOS) of all efficacy 
variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics by treatment group and visit (Tables 
14.2.5.1- 14.2.5.6).  
6.13.1 Analysis of Primary Endpoint 
The primary efficacy variable, change from baseline in ADHD-RS-5 Total Score to Week 8 (EOS), 
will be analyzed using a Mixed Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM), which assumes that missing 
data are missing at random (MAR). The model will include fixed effect terms for baseline ADHD-
RS-5 Total Score, age group, treatment, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as independent 
variables. The model parameters will be estimated using restricted maximum likelihood method with 
unstructured variance-covariance matrix and Kenward-Roger approximation to estimate 
denominator degrees of freedom. In case there is a convergence problem in the MMRM model with 
the unstructured variance covariance matrix, the first (co)variance structure which does not have 
convergence problem will be used for the analysis from the following ordered list: 1) Toeplitz 2) 
Autoregressive of order 1 3) Compound symmetry. 
The adjusted mean (LS Mean) of CFB to EOS for ADHD-RS-5 Total Score for each treatment group 
(Placebo, SPN-812 ER 200 mg and SPN-812 ER 400 mg) will be presented, along with the 
corresponding standard error. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will 
be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, Least Squares (LS) of treatment means, differences 
between the LS treatment means and placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for the treatment 
differences will be computed.   
To maintain the Type I error rate at 5% level, a sequential testing (Westfall et al 1999) of the null 
hypotheses H01: No treatment mean difference between SPN-812 ER 400 mg group and placebo 
group and H02: No treatment mean difference between SPN-812 ER 200 mg group and placebo group

will be performed. If H01 is not rejected, then H02 will not be tested and the conclusion will be that 
neither dose groups are efficacious. If H01 is rejected, then H02 will be tested. If H02 is rejected then 
it will be concluded that both SPN-812 ER 400 mg and SPN-812 ER 200 mg are superior to placebo. 
If H01 is rejected and H02 is not rejected then it will be concluded that only SPN-812 ER 400 mg is 
superior to placebo. 
The summary of primary analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.1.1.  
The corresponding MMRM SAS output will be presented in Listing 16.1.9.1. The ADHD-RS-5 
questionnaire, total, subscale scores, and derived ADHD rating scale - 5 (behaviors and scores) and 
binary variables will be listed in Listings 16.2.6.1 and 16. 2.6.2 and 16.2.6.3.1 and 16.2.6.3.2.  
6.13.2 Sensitivity Analysis 
The sensitivity analysis assumes that missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Scores are missing not at random 
(MNAR), that is, the probability that an observation is missing may depend on its underlying 
unobserved value. (For example, the probability of missing ADHD-RS-5 Total Score at Week 8 is 
not related to the observed ADHD-RS-5 Total Score at visit 9). Placebo-based multiple imputation 
will be used to fill in missing values. This approach may be considered “worst-case” sensitivity 
analyses as it assumes that after discontinuation, subjects from the active treatment arms would adopt 
the outcome model estimated from the placebo arm.  The placebo-based imputation will be 
implemented by adopting the following three steps. 
1) SAS PROC MI (SEED=220877) is applied to the input dataset containing all by-visit ADHD-
RS-5 Total Score during the baseline, titration, and maintenance period.  Multivariate 
imputation will be carried out by the fully conditional specification (FCS) method. One 
hundred (100) multiply-imputed datasets will be created. SAS® PROC MI with the MNAR 
statement will be implemented by using the following SAS code. 
PROC MI DATA= EFF NIMPUTE=100 SEED=220877 OUT=MNAROUT

VAR BASE WK1– WK8(EOS);

In the above SAS code, EFF denotes the efficacy data set, Base, WK1– WK8  are analysis 
values of ADHD-RS-5 total at baseline and each of treatment weeks from Week 1 (at Visit 3) to 
Week 8 (at Visit 10), and treatment = ‘A ’denotes Placebo.  
2. For each of the multiply-imputed data sets, CFB to EOS will be computed.  For each 
imputation, the CFB will be analyzed using ANCOVA model, which will include fixed effect 
terms for treatment and baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total Score as a covariate. Each of the 
treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The 
LS means of treatment groups, differences between the LS means of treatment groups and 
placebo, 95% confidence intervals around the differences and p-value will be computed.   
3. Finally, to combine estimates (LS means, treatment LS mean differences, 95% CI around the 
difference and p-value) from the 100 datasets, SAS® PROC MIANALYZE will be used. 
The summary of sensitivity analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.1.2. The corresponding full SAS 
output will be presented in Listing 16.1.9.2. 
6.14 Analysis of Secondary Endpoints 
All secondary analyses are based on the ITT population with missing values imputed at week 8 
(WK8) using multiple imputation (MI) assuming MAR using SEED=2460650. In case imputed 
values are below or above the range of the applicable scale, values will be imputed to respectively 
the minimum or maximum value of the scale.  The following SAS code will be used MI.

6.14.1 Analyses of Key Secondary Endpoints  
The analyses of key secondary objectives will be conducted on the following sequentially ordered 
endpoints for testing: 1) CGI-I, 2) Conners-3, 3) WFIRS-P.  
To preserve the overall type I error rate at 0.05 for the key secondary endpoints, a sequential testing 
procedure will be used. First, only dose or doses that are significantly different from placebo for the 
primary endpoint will be tested for secondary endpoints. If the primary endpoint analysis does not 
reject H01 (i.e. the 400 mg is not superior to placebo) or the primary endpoint analysis rejects only

H01, then no multiplicity adjustment is required. Otherwise, multiplicity adjustment will be 
performed with the following features. 
The first of the secondary endpoints (CGI-I) will be used to test each treatment group to placebo 
using a sequential testing of the null hypotheses H01: No treatment mean difference between SPN-
812 ER 400 mg group and placebo group and H02: No treatment mean difference between SPN-812 
ER 200 mg group and placebo group will be performed. If H01 is not rejected, then H02 will not be 
tested and the conclusion will be that neither dose groups are efficacious. If H01 is rejected, then H02 
will be tested. If H02 is rejected, then it will be concluded that both SPN-812 ER 400 mg and SPN-
812 ER 200 mg are superior to Placebo. If H02 is not rejected, then it will be concluded that only 
SPN-812 ER 400 mg is superior to placebo. Then, the second secondary endpoint (Conners-3) will 
be tested in the same manner but only using those doses that were retained from the primary and the 
first secondary endpoint.   Finally, the third key secondary endpoint (WFIRS-P) will be tested in the 
same manner but only using those doses that were retained from the primary, the first key secondary 
endpoint and the second key secondary endpoint. 
6.14.1.1 Clinical Global Impression – Improvement (CGI-I)   
The absolute value of CGI-I at week 8(EOS) will be analyzed using ANCOVA with treatment as a 
fixed classification variable and baseline CGI-S as a covariate.  This ANCOVA analysis supersedes 
the ANOVA analysis described in the protocol. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg 
and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, Least Squares means of the treatment 
groups, differences between the LS treatment means and placebo (SPN-812 ER 200 mg minus 
Placebo and SPN-812 ER 400 mg minus Placebo), 95% confidence intervals for the treatment 
differences will be computed. The summary of this analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.2.1.1 and 
listed in Listings 16.2.6.3.2- 16.2.6.5.  
6.14.1.2 Conners 3-Parental Short Form   
The Conners 3-PS will include 6 domains (subscales): inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity, 
aggression, executive functioning, learning problems, and relationships.  
The data for Conners 3-PS comprise derived T-scores for each domain rounded to the nearest 
integer.  If a T-score ≤ 40   then the T-score will be set to 40 and if a T-score ≥ 90 then the T-score 
will be set to 90. If 1 of the subdomains is missing then the total score will be missing and the 
missing value will be handled using multiple imputation under MAR. A composite T-score will be 
calculated by averaging over the six domains (rounded to the nearest integer) and the change from 
baseline to Week 8 (EOS) in the composite T-score will be analyzed using ANCOVA model with 
fixed classification variable for treatment and baseline as a covariate. Each of the treatment groups

(SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, Least 
Squares means, differences between the LS treatment means and placebo, and 95% confidence 
intervals for the treatment differences will be computed.  The summary of this analysis will be 
presented in Table 14.2.2.1.2 and Listings 16.2.6.6, 16.2.6.7 and16.2.6.8. 
6.14.1.3 Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale – Parent Version (WFIRS-P) 
WFIRS-P comprises 50 items grouped into six domains: Family, School (learning and behavior), 
Life Skills, Child’s Self-Concept, Social Activities, and Risky Activities.  The items relate to the 
past month and are scored using a 4-point (0, 1, 2 and 3) Likert scale. Higher WFIRS-P scores 
indicate more severe functional impairment. Missing items do not include omitted responses in the 
scoring (i.e., treat as “not applicable”). Each of the six domains is scored omitting items with a 
missing or ‘not applicable’ response. The WFIRS-P average score will be calculated over the 50 
items as sum of all items with a response divided by total number of items that have been endorsed 
(e.g., do not include ‘not applicable’ items in the total). The same approach will be used for the 
subscores.  The change from baseline in WFIRS-P to Week 8 (EOS) will be analyzed using 
ANCOVA model with fixed effects for treatment and baseline as a covariate.  Missing Subscale 
scores and Total Score will be handled using multiple imputation under MAR assumption for 
inferential analyses. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be 
compared with the Placebo. The p-values, LS means of treatment groups, differences between the 
LS means and placebo, and 95% confidence intervals for the treatment differences will be 
computed.  The summary of this analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.2.1.3 and Listings 
16.2.6.9, 16.2.6.10 and16.2.6.11. 
6.14.2 Analysis of Additional Secondary endpoints  
6.14.2.1 Responder Analysis (50% responder rate) 
For each subject, the response indicator variable will be set equal to 'YES' if a subject’s % reduction 
≥ 50% or ‘NO’ otherwise. Percent reduction will be calculated as: % reduction =100*(ADHD-RS-5 
Total Score at Week 8 (EOS) - Baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total Score)/ Baseline ADHD-RS-5 Total 
Score. The proportion of responders will be presented for each treatment group. The 2-sided 95% CI 
around the difference in proportions (SPN-812 200 mg ER minus Placebo, SPN-812 400 mg ER 
minus Placebo) and the p-value from Pearson’s Chi-squared Test or Fisher’s Exact Test will be 
presented. The summary of this analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.2.2.1. 
6.14.2.2 Short form of the PSI-4 (PSI-4-SF) 
PSI-4-SF consists of 36 items divided into three domains: parental distress, parent-child 
dysfunctional interaction, and difficult child, which is scored using a 5-point as 1 (Strongly disagree), 
2 (Disagree), 3 (Not sure), 4 (Agree), 5 (Strongly agree). For Item-32, the subject’s original response

categories from the Answer Sheet are rated as 1 = “much harder than I expected” to 5 = “much easier 
than I expected”. This will be reversed prior to calculating the subscale and total domain scores. The 
reversed Item-32 will be scored as from 5 = “much harder than I expected” to 1 = “much easier than 
I expected”. 
  
Scores will be calculated if: 
1. No more than 1 item is missing from any subscale 
 
If the above criteria are met, then the missing data convention is: 
1. 
Identify the domain from which the item response is missing 
2. 
Compute the average raw score for the completed items within that subscale, and round the 
average to the nearest whole number. 
3. 
Assign the rounded whole number score to the missing item and then the subscale score 
Domains and Subscales: 
1. Sum responses items 1-12 = PD - Parental Distress 
2. Sum responses items 13-24 = P-CDI - Parental-Child Dysfunctional Interaction 
3. Sum responses items 25-36 = DC - Difficult Child 
 
Total Stress Score (TS) = PD + P-CDI + DC 
 The change from baseline in PSI-4 total score to Week 8 (EOS) will be analyzed using ANCOVA 
model with fixed effects for treatment and baseline as a covariate. Each of the treatment groups 
(SPN-812 ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, LS means of 
treatment groups, differences between the LS means and placebo will be presented. The summary of 
this analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.2.2.2 and Listings 16.2.6.12 - 16.2.6.14. 
6.14.2.3 ADHD-RS-5 Hyperactivity/Impulsivity and Inattention Subscales 
The change from baseline to EOS in ADHD-RS-5 Inattention and the change from baseline to Week 
8 (EOS) in Hyperactivity/Impulsivity subscales will be analyzed using ANCOVA model with fixed 
effects for treatment, age group and baseline as a covariate. Each of the treatment groups (SPN-812 
ER 200 mg and 400 mg) will be compared with the Placebo. The p-values, LS means of treatment 
groups, differences between the LS means and placebo will be presented. The summary of this 
analysis will be presented in Table 14.2.2.2.3.

1. The primary endpoint (change from baseline in ADHD-RS-5 Total Score to Week 7 (EOS)) 
will be analyzed using ANCOVA model using treatment and baseline as fixed effect 
independent variables. This analysis will be summarized in Table 14.2.4.1. 
2. The above analysis will be repeated for the Key secondary endpoints (Tables 14.2.4.2 – 
14.2.4.4).   
6.15 Examination of Subgroups 
The primary and key secondary efficacy variables may be repeated by subgroup to explore the 
heterogeneity of the treatment effect across subgroups.  Subgroups are defined as follows: 
1. Gender (Male, Female) 
2. Ages (6-9 years, 10-11 years) 
3. Race (White, non-white).  
 
This analyses will be summarized in Tables 14.2.3.1.1 to 14.2.3.1.3 for ADHD-RS-5 total score, 
Tables 14.2.3.2.1 to 14.2.4.2.3 for CGI-I, Tables 14.2.3.3.1 to 14.2.3.3.3 for Conners 3-PS composite 
T-score, and Tables 14.2.3.4.1 to 14.2.4.4.3 for WFIRS-P total score. 
6.16 Pharmacokinetic (PK) Data Analysis 
Plasma concentrations will be provided at the end of the study in SAS format to an external PK 
Scientist. This SAS data set will include subject number, visit, nominal timepoint, actual draw date, 
actual draw time, deviation from nominal timepoint, and concentration. Blood collection time and 
SM administration will be presented in Listing 16.2.13.  
The Population PK model will be created separately and the analyses are not included in this SAP.  
6.17 Safety Analyses 
The assessment of overall safety will be based on adverse events, laboratory values, vital signs, ECGs 
and C-SSRS.  Unless specified otherwise, comparison will be made to baseline as defined in Section 
4 of the SAP. 
All summary tables related to safety analyses will use the safety population. All subjects in the safety 
analysis set will be analyzed according to the treatment received.

6.17.1 Adverse Events 
Adverse events (AEs) are described in Section 6.4 of Protocol 812P303. AEs will be classified 
into standardized medical terminology from the Verbatim description (Investigator term) using the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA version 20.1).  
AEs will be summarized for each treatment period separately (Titration period, Maintenance 
period, and combined Titration and Maintenance period). 
The overall incidence of AEs will be presented in Table 14.3.1.1. Subject data listing will be 
provided for all adverse events (Listing 16.2.7.1). Included in the listing are the reported term, PT, 
SOC, TEAE flag, study day when AE starts, duration, relationship, severity, action taken, outcome, 
and seriousness category. Data listings will be provided for subjects who experienced SAEs, have 
TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation, or death (Listing 16.2.7.2, Listing 16.2.7.3, and 
Listing 16.2.7.4). 
6.17.1.1 Treatment Emergent Adverse Events 
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE with a start date on or after the 
first dose of study drug is taken, or that worsened following first administration of study drug. 
TEAEs will be analyzed separately from those AEs that were not treatment-related. Only TEAE 
tables will be summarized. If a subject experiences more than 1 episode of a particular AE, the 
subject will be counted only once for that event.  If a subject has more than 1 AE that codes to the 
same preferred term, the subject will be counted only once for that preferred term.  Similarly, if a 
subject has more than 1 AE within a system organ class, the subject will be counted only once in 
that system organ class. 
TEAEs will be summarized at the subject level by system organ class and preferred term for each 
treatment group in Table 14.3.1.2. 
6.17.1.2 Severity of TEAEs 
Based on the investigators determination, the severity of TEAEs will be classified as mild, 
moderate or severe. 
If a subject experiences more than one episode of a coded TEAE, the subject will be counted only 
once by the maximum severity of the episode (preferred term).  Similarly, if a subject has more 
than one TEAE within a system organ class, the subject will be counted only once by the maximum 
severity among TEAEs in that system organ class.  TEAEs with missing severity will be considered 
as severe. The severity of TEAEs will be presented in Table 14.3.1.3.

6.17.1.3 Relatedness of TEAEs to SM  
Based on the investigators determination, the relationship between the SM and a TEAE will be 
classified as not suspected (not related or unlikely related) or suspected (possibly related or 
definitely related). TEAE relatedness to SM will be summarized based on derived binary values 
as: “Drug Related” if the relationship to SM is probably or definitely related or “Not Related” if 
the relationship to SM is not related or unlikely related. 
If a subject experiences more than one episode of a coded AE, the subject will be counted only 
once by the maximum relatedness of these episodes (preferred term).  Similarly, if a subject has 
more than one AE within a system organ class, the subject will be counted only once by the 
maximum relatedness among AEs in that system organ class.  AEs with missing relatedness will 
be counted as definitely related.   
The summary of TEAE relatedness to SM will be presented in Table 14.3.1.4 
In addition, number and percent of patients reporting common AEs (≥5% in any group) will be 
presented by PT in Table 14.3.1.5 and AEs leading to study drug discontinuation will be presented 
by SOC and PT in Table 14.3.1.6. 
6.17.1.4 Serious Adverse Events  
Serious adverse events (SAEs) are described in Section 6.4.5 of Protocol 812P303. A listing of 
SAEs and AEs leading to discontinuation will be presented. All subject deaths during this study 
will be collected and presented in a listing. The information presented will include date of death, 
days on study, cause of death, and relationship of death to study drug 
Adverse event data will be presented in Listings 16.2.7.1, 16.2.7.2, and 16.2.7.3. 
6.17.2 Laboratory Data 
The change from baseline will be calculated as post-baseline value minus baseline value. 
For each laboratory parameter, the following will be displayed for baseline and Week 8 (EOS). 
 Summary statistics (n, mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum) by treatment group 
for the actual and change from baseline values will be presented in Tables 14.3.2.1.1 and 
14.3.2.2.1.  
 Laboratory values will be flagged as abnormally low (L) if the value < lower limit of the 
normal range, normal (N) if the value is within normal range or abnormally high (H) if the 
value > upper limit of the normal range. Shift tables for the change from baseline to 
endpoint Week 8 (EOS) will be presented in Tables 14.3.2.1.2 and 14.3.2.2.2. Laboratory 
data will be presented in Listings 16.2.8.1 and 16.2.8.2.

Values equal to the boundaries are still considered normal (N).  
A value is classified as abnormally low (L) when the value < lower limit of the normal range.  
A value is classified as abnormally high (H) when the value > upper limit of the normal range. 
Vital signs will be summarized by treatment group using descriptive statistics (for quantitative 
parameters) in Table 14.3.3.1 and frequency tables (categorical variables) in Table 14.3.3.2.   
Subject Listing of Vital Signs will be presented in Listings16.2.9.1 and 16.2.9.2. 
16.17.4 Twelve (12)-Lead ECG 
ECG parameters include HR, QRS, PR, and QTc.

Values within boundaries and equal to the boundaries are still considered normal (N).  
A value is classified as abnormally low (L) when the value < lower limit of the normal range.  
A value is classified as abnormally high (H) when the value > upper limit of the normal range. 
For the QT and QTc parameters, the following categorizations  will be done: 
 of the actual values: ≤ 450 ms,  450 ms <  to  ≤  480 ms,  480 < to  ≤  500 ms, >500 ms 
 of the changes from baseline: ≤  30 ms (including all decreases in QT), 30 < to ≤60 ms, 
>60 ms. 
ECG parameters will be summarized by treatment group using descriptive statistics (for 
quantitative ECG parameters) in Table 14.3.4.1 and frequency tables (for categorical parameters) 
in Table 14.3.4.2, Table 14.3.4.3, and Table 14.3.4.4. 
Subject Listing of ECG: Parameters for actual and derived variables will be presented Listings 
16.2.10.1 and 16.2.10.2. 
16.17.5 Physical examinations 
All physical examination findings will be presented in Listing 16.2.11.1. 
Actual values and changes from baseline will be calculated at EOS for weight, height and BMI 
and presented in Listing 16.2.11.2.  
16.17.6 C-SSRS 
C-SSRS outcomes will be summarized using number and percent of subjects by categories for 
suicidal ideation only, suicidal behavior only and suicidality (ideation and behavior combined). 
The summary will be presented by treatment groups (Table 14.3.5). 
Suicidal ideation and Suicidal behavior will be presented in Listings 16.2.12.1 - 16.2.12.2. 
7 Validation  
Supernus seeks to ensure the quality of the reports provided by 
 in the form of TLFs and 
derived datasets must pass a rigorous validation process involving the following processes.  
 
Derived datasets for AEs and the primary efficacy parameter must be independently 
reprogrammed by a second programmer based on analysis data specifications. The 
separate datasets produced by the 2 programmers must match 100% or in case of any 
differences, an explanation should be given and documented.

 Furthermore, all derived datasets will be independently programmed by BAIM institute 
based on analysis data specifications.  
 Tables for AEs and the primary efficacy endpoint must be independently reprogrammed 
by a second programmer and the results from both programs must match 100% or in case 
of any differences, an explanation should be given and documented. Furthermore, all 
tables (efficacy, AEs, an all other summary tables) will be validated by BAIM institute. 
 Figures must be checked for consistency against corresponding tables and listings, or 
independently reprogrammed if there are no corresponding tables or listings.  
 Listings must be checked for consistency against corresponding tables, figures, and 
derived datasets.  
The entire set of TLF must be checked for completeness and consistency prior to its delivery to 
Supernus.  
The above validation process must be repeated any time TLFs are redelivered using different data. 
Execution of this validation process must be documented through the study in a tracking sheet 
which containing TFL names, name of the primary programmer, name of the QC programmer and 
comment. The validation tracking sheet must be submitted at each delivery of TFLs.
