Enrollment: 42 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
Phase 1 study designed to evaluate the relative bioavailability of a single dose of a test formulation, DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD powder in comparison with a reference DSM265 25% SDD powder formulation used in early clinical trials.

Detailed description:
The objective of this study is to compare the relative bioavailability of oral DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD formulation with that of a reference 25% SDD powder for suspension used in previous clinical trials. Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of food on bioavailability of the DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD formulation.

The current 25% SDD powder for suspension clinical formulation is a suspension which requires reconstitution/administration in 240 mL sucralose based vehicle (for a 400 mg adult dose). This volume is too large for paediatric patients with malaria (e.g., translates into a 30 mL volume for 0.5-2 yr old patients); also, the dosing vehicle is not commercially viable. The new formulation dissolves in a smaller volume of a more common vehicle, water (40 mL for 400 mg adult dose).

Arms: arm 1: Spray dried dispersion (SDD) formulation, powder containing 34.25% DSM265-TPGS (tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate) arm 2: Spray dried dispersion (SDD) formulation, powder containing 34.25% DSM265-TPGS (tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate) arm 3: Spray dried dispersion (SDD) formulation, powder containing 25% DSM265 as free base
Interventions: intervention 1: DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD, 400 mg fasted intervention 2: DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD, 400 mg fed intervention 3: DSM265 25% SDD, 400 mg fasted
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: New formulation allowing smaller volumes of dissolution in a common vehicle (water), administered to subjects in a fasted state. intervention 2: New formulation allowing smaller volumes of dissolution in a common vehicle (water), administered to subjects in a fed state. intervention 3: Reference formulation used in early clinical trials.

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background and Rationale
Why Is This Study Being Conducted
DSM265 is a new antimalarial drug candidate targeted for acute uncomplicated malaria (single dose 
cure) and possibly chemoprevention (repeated administration) being developed by Medicines for 
Malaria Venture (MMV).  This new chemical entity is being evaluated in various Phase 1 studies and has 
been also tested in a Phase 2A trial in patients with acute uncomplicated malaria.  The highest dose 
tested in the first-in-human study was 1200 mg and it has been shown to be well tolerated.  Clinical data 
from a human malaria challenge model in healthy subjects as well as efficacy results from the Phase 2A 
trial suggests that efficacy in acute uncomplicated malaria with Plasmodium falciparum can be achieved 
with a single 400 mg dose of DSM265.
The median time to the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (Tmax), was
approximately 4 hours at a dose of 400 mg and the mean terminal phase elimination half-life (t1/2) 
remained constant across doses, ranging from 85 to 112 hours.  A major metabolite, DSM450, was 
identified with Tmax of 96 to 144 hours after dosing, a mean t1/2 ranging from 131 to 168 hours, and an 
area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of approximately 0.19 to 0.28 relative to that of 
DSM265.
This Phase 1 study is designed to evaluate the relative bioavailability of a single dose of a test 
formulation, DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD powder, with the reference DSM265 25% SDD powder for 
suspension formulation used in previous clinical trials.  This Phase 1 study is also designed to evaluate 
the effect of food on the bioavailability of DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD powder.
2.2 Benefits and Risks to Subjects
There are no expected direct benefits for subjects who enroll in this healthy volunteer study.  Study 
drugs may be associated with adverse effects as detailed in the subject informed consent form(s).  Not 
all of the potential side effects of the study drugs may be known.  In addition, subjects may experience 
discomfort or inconvenience related to study procedures.

objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of food on the bioavailability of DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD 
powder.
3.2 Safety Endpoints
Safety evaluations will include adverse event (AE) monitoring, physical examinations, vital signs 
measurements, electrocardiogram (ECG) variables and clinical laboratory testing.
3.3 Pharmacokinetic Endpoints
The values for the pharmacokinetic parameters of DSM265 and possible metabolite(s) including Cmax, 
Tmax, apparent terminal phase elimination rate constant (β), t1/2, AUC from time 0 until the last 
measurable concentration (AUCt), AUC from time 0 to 168 hours (AUC168) and AUC from time 0 to 
infinity (AUCinf) will be determined using non-compartmental methods.  Plasma concentration at 
168 hours (C168) will also be measured.  Additional parameters may be estimated if useful in the 
interpretation of the data.  In addition, the blood samples may be used for other exploratory analysis.

for continued participation in the trial.
AbbVie or MMV may terminate this study prematurely, either in its entirety or at any site.  The 
Investigator may also stop the study at his/her site if he/she has safety concerns.  If AbbVie or MMV 
terminates the study for safety reasons, AbbVie will promptly notify the Investigator.
5.4 Follow-Up for Subject Withdrawal from Study
In the event that a subject withdraws or is discontinued from the study, the primary reason for 
discontinuation and any other reason(s) for the discontinuation from the study will be recorded and a 
physical examination, body weight, vital signs measurement, ECG, laboratory analyses, and an 
assessment of adverse events will be performed as soon as possible after discontinuation from the 
study.  Additional blood samples for drug measurement may be collected at the time of discontinuation 
from subjects who are discontinued due to adverse events; the clock time, time in relation to dose, and 
date the sample was taken will be recorded.
If a subject is discontinued from the study with an ongoing adverse event or an unresolved laboratory 
result that is significantly outside of the reference range, the investigator will attempt to provide 
follow-up until a satisfactory clinical resolution of the laboratory result or adverse event is achieved.

6 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Complaints and Adverse Events
Complaints
A complaint is any written, electronic, or oral communication that alleges deficiencies related to the 
physical characteristics, identity, quality, purity, potency, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, or 
performance of a product/device.  Complaints associated with any component of this investigational 
product must be reported to AbbVie.
Medical Complaints/Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation 
subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with this treatment.  An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended
sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use 
p. 12 of 41


STUDY B19-227  |  Version 1.0
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not the event is considered causally related to the 
use of the product.
The investigators will monitor each subject for clinical and laboratory evidence of adverse events on a 
routine basis throughout the study.  All adverse events will be followed to a satisfactory conclusion.
An elective surgery/procedure scheduled to occur during a study will not be considered an adverse 
event if the surgery/procedure is being performed for a pre-existing condition and the 
surgery/procedure has been pre planned prior to study entry.  However, if the pre-existing condition 
deteriorates unexpectedly during the study (e.g., surgery performed earlier than planned), then the 
deterioration of the condition for which the elective surgery/procedure is being done will be considered 
an adverse event.
If an adverse event meets any of the following criteria, it is to be reported to MMV/PrimeVigilance as a 
serious adverse event within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the serious adverse event:
Death of Subject
An event that results in the death of a subject.
Life-Threatening
An event that, in the opinion of the investigator, would have resulted 
in immediate fatality if medical intervention had not been taken.  This 
does not include an event that would have been fatal if it had occurred 
in a more severe form.
Hospitalization or 
Prolongation of 
Hospitalization
An event that results in an admission to the hospital for any length of 
time or prolongs the subject's hospital stay.  This does not include an 
emergency room visit or admission to an outpatient facility.
Congenital Anomaly
An anomaly detected at or after birth, or any anomaly that results in 
fetal loss.
Persistent or Significant 
Disability/Incapacity
An event that results in a condition that substantially interferes with 
the activities of daily living of a study subject.  Disability is not intended 
to include experiences of relatively minor medical significance such as 
headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, and accidental trauma 
(e.g., sprained ankle).
Important Medical Event 
Requiring Medical or 
Surgical Intervention to 
Prevent Serious Outcome
An important medical event that may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but based on 
medical judgment may jeopardize the subject and may require medical 
or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above 
(i.e., death of subject, life threatening, hospitalization, prolongation of 
hospitalization, congenital anomaly, or persistent or significant 
disability/incapacity).  Additionally, any elective or spontaneous 
abortion or stillbirth is considered an important medical event.  
Examples of such events include allergic bronchospasm requiring 
intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, 
or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse.

All adverse events reported from the time of study drug administration until 30 days or 5 half-lives after 
discontinuation of study drug administration will be collected, whether solicited or spontaneously 
reported by the subject.  In addition, serious adverse events and protocol-related non-serious adverse 
events will be collected from the time the subject signs the study-specific informed consent.
MMV/PrimeVigilance will be responsible for Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSAR) 
reporting for the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) in accordance with global and local 
requirements.

Adverse Event Severity and Relationship to Study Drug
The investigator will rate the severity of each adverse event according to Common Terminology Criteria 
for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0).
The investigators will rate the severity of each adverse event as mild, moderate, or severe.  The 
investigator will use the following definitions to assess the relationship of the adverse event to the use 
of study drug:
Reasonable Possibility – After consideration of factors including timing of the event, biologic plausibility, 
clinical judgment, and potential alternative causes, there is sufficient evidence (information) to suggest 
a causal relationship.
No Reasonable Possibility – After consideration of factors including timing of the event, biologic 
plausibility, clinical judgment, and potential alternative causes, there is insufficient evidence 
(information) to suggest a causal relationship.
Pregnancy
While not an adverse event, pregnancy in a study subject must be reported to MMV/PrimeVigilance 
within 1 working day after the site becomes aware of the pregnancy.  Subjects who become pregnant 
during the study must be discontinued from study procedures (Section 5.3).  If a pregnancy occurs in a 
study subject or in the partner of a study subject, information regarding the pregnancy and the outcome 
will be collected.
In the event of pregnancy occurring in a subject's partner during the study, written informed consent 
from the partner must be obtained prior to collection of any such information.  Pregnancy in a subject's 
partner will be collected from the date of the first dose through 120 days following the last dose of 
study drug.
The pregnancy outcome of an elective or spontaneous abortion, stillbirth or congenital anomaly is 
considered a serious adverse event (SAE) and must be reported to MMV/PrimeVigilance within 24 hours 
after the site becomes aware of the event.

2.1 Study Activities
Information regarding specific procedures is provided in Section 3.  The timing of the activities for this 
study is presented in tabular form in the Study Activities Tables attached to the protocol.
3 STUDY PROCEDURES
3.1 Study Information and Informed Consent
Prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures, the investigator or his/her 
representative will explain the nature of the study.  After the nature of the testing has been explained 
and the subject has had an opportunity to ask questions and questions have been answered to the 
subject's satisfaction, the subject will be presented the opportunity to sign the informed consent 
form(s).  Each consent form must be voluntarily signed and dated before any related study activities are 
performed.  Each informed consent form will be reviewed, signed and dated by the subject, the person 
who administered the informed consent, and any other signatories according to local requirements.  A 
signed copy of each informed consent will be given to the subject and each original will be placed in the 
subject's study record.  An entry must also be made in the subject's dated source documents to confirm 
that informed consent was obtained prior to any study-related procedures and that the subject received 
a signed copy.
Information regarding incentives for subjects and information regarding provisions for treating and/or 
compensating subjects who are harmed as a consequence of participation in the study can be found in 
the informed consent form.
3.2 Medical/Surgical History
A complete medical/surgical history, including history of tobacco, alcohol and drug use, will be taken.  
The subject's medical history updated on initial confinement will serve as the baseline for clinical 
assessment.
Medication (prescription or over-the-counter, including vitamins and herbal supplements) use from 
2 weeks prior to study drug administration through the end of the study will also be recorded.
3.3 Hepatitis Screen
HAV-IgM, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and Hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab) tests will be 
performed.  The hepatitis test panel will be performed by a certified laboratory.

3.4 HIV Screen
Subjects will have blood tested by a certified laboratory for the presence of human immunodeficiency 
virus antibody (HIV Ab).  Only those subjects negative for the presence of antibodies will be allowed to 
enroll in the study.
3.5 Drug, Alcohol and Cotinine Screen
Urine specimens will be tested for the presence of drugs of abuse.  The panel for drugs of abuse will 
minimally include the drugs listed below.  Any positive result must be assessed for clinical significance. 
These analyses will be performed by the certified laboratory chosen for the study.  The cotinine test may 
be performed by the clinical site.  Results of the cotinine test will be retained by the study site.

Cannabinoids

Opiates

Barbiturates

Amphetamines

Cocaine

Benzodiazepines

Alcohol

Phencyclidine

Propoxyphene

Methadone
3.6 12-Lead ECG
Resting single 12-lead ECGs will be obtained.
The ECG acquired prior to dosing will serve as the baseline measurements for clinical assessment.
When an ECG is scheduled at the same time as a blood collection, the ECG will be obtained prior to the 
blood collection.  ECGs occurring near meals will take place prior to meals.
ECGs will be acquired after the subject has been in the supine position for at least 5 minutes.  Subjects 
will be instructed to remain completely stationary (no talking, laughing, deep breathing, sleeping, or 
swallowing) for approximately 10 seconds during the ECG recording.  While ECGs are being acquired, 
subjects and staff are prohibited from having devices (e.g., cellular telephones, fans, heaters, etc.) that 
emit electrical interference in the room.

ECG Safety Review
Each ECG will be evaluated by an appropriately qualified physician (preferably a cardiologist) at the 
study site (the "local reader").  The local reading of the ECG will be used by the investigator for subject 
safety assessments, including adverse event (AE) determination and management, and decision on 
whether a subject will be discontinued from the study.
The local reader will sign and date all the ECGS collected in this study and provide a global interpretation 
for each ECG using the following categories:

Normal ECG

Abnormal ECG – Not clinically significant (NCS)

Abnormal ECG – Clinically significant (CS)

Unable to evaluate
All local reader evaluations of ECGs will be entered into the source documents.  If the global 
interpretation is Abnormal (NCS or CS), the local reader will provide further information (e.g., sinus 
bradycardia, arrhythmia).  The QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) will 
be calculated and documented for all ECGs.
All ECG source documentation will be retained at the study site.  The automatic cardiograph reading 
(i.e., cardiograph-generated measurements and interpretations) will not be collected for analysis.
3.7 Height and Weight
Height and weight will be measured in order to calculate body mass index (BMI).  Body weight may be 
measured at additional timepoints throughout the study.  The subject will wear lightweight clothing and 
no shoes during height measurement and weighing.
3.8 Vital Signs
Body temperature (oral), blood pressure and pulse will be measured.  The vital signs measurements just 
prior to dosing on Study Day 1 will serve as the baseline measurements for clinical assessment.
Blood pressure and pulse rate will be measured after the subject has been sitting for at least 3 minutes.
When measurements of vital signs are scheduled at the same time as a blood collection, the 
measurements of vital signs will be obtained prior to the blood collection.
Measurements of vital signs occurring near meals or dosing will take place prior to meals or dosing.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
3.9 Physical Examination
Physical examinations will be performed.  A symptom-directed physical examination will be performed 
when necessary.  The last physical examination performed prior to the first dose will serve as the
baseline physical examination for clinical assessment.  Any significant physical examination findings after 
dosing will be recorded as adverse events.
3.10 Clinical Laboratory Tests
The blood samples for serum chemistry tests should be collected following a minimum 8-hour fast.
The site's local laboratory will be utilized to process and provide results for the clinical laboratory test.  
The laboratory must be certified and must provide laboratory reference ranges prior to the initiation of 
the study.  The baseline laboratory test results for clinical assessment for a particular test will be defined 
as the last measurement prior to the initial dose of study drug.  Follow-up safety labs may be performed 
by a certified lab other than the site's local laboratory.  An out of range laboratory test at screening or 
check in may be repeated at the discretion of the investigator.
For any laboratory test value outside the reference range that the investigator considers to be clinically 
significant:

The investigator will repeat the test to verify the out-of-range value.

The investigator will follow the out-of-range value to a satisfactory clinical resolution.

A laboratory test value that requires a subject to be discontinued from the study or requires a 
subject to receive treatment will be recorded as an adverse event.

composition (protein, fat, carbohydrate, and total calories) of these meals will be determined by a 
dietician and a record will be kept with the source documents.  For moderate fat meals, approximately 
30% of the total caloric content of the meals must be from fat. For the high-fat breakfast, approximately 
50% of the total caloric content of the meal must be from fat.
3.14 Confinement
Subjects will be confined to the study site and supervised for approximately 3 days.  Confinement in 
each period will begin on Study Day –1 and end after the collection of the 24-hour blood samples and 
scheduled study procedures are completed on Study Day 2.  Strenuous activity during confinement will 
not be permitted.
3.15 Outpatient Visits
Subjects will return to the study site in the morning of designated days for study procedures as indicated 
in the Study Activities Table.
4 SAFETY MANUAL
4.1 Methods and Timing of Safety Assessment
All serious adverse events as well as protocol-related nonserious adverse events (e.g., occurrence during 
screening) will be collected from the time the subject signed the study-specific informed consent until 
study drug administration and reported to the sponsor.  From the time of study drug administration 
until 30 days or 5 half-lives whichever is longer following discontinuation of study treatment has 
elapsed, all adverse events and serious adverse events will be collected, whether solicited or 
spontaneously reported by the subject.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
4.2 Recording Data and Analyses of Safety Findings
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).  The 
number and percentage of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events (i.e., any event that begins 
or worsens in severity after initiation of study drug through 30 days post-study drug dosing) will be 
tabulated by primary MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) with a breakdown by 
regimen.  The tabulation of the number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events by severity 
grade and relationship to study drug also will be provided.  Subjects reporting more than 1 adverse 
event for a given MedDRA preferred term will be counted only once for that term using the most severe 
grade according to the severity grade table and the most related according to the relationship to study 
drug tables.  Subjects reporting more than 1 type of event within an SOC will be counted only once for 
that SOC.
4.3 Reporting Adverse Events
In the event of an SAE, whether associated with study drug or not, the Investigator will notify MMV 
Pharmacovigilance within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the SAE by email.  The study specific 
SAE and AESI forms will be used by the Investigator.

APPENDIX B. PHARMACOKINETIC HANDLING, PROCESSING 
AND SHIPMENT
Collection of Samples for Analysis
Blood samples for DSM265 analysis will be collected by venipuncture at the protocol specified times 
after dosing.  The timing of blood collections will take priority over all other scheduled study activities 
except for dosing.  The order of blood collections will be maintained to the minute such that the time 
intervals relative to the preceding dose will be the same for all subjects. The time that each blood 
sample is collected will be recorded to the minute.
The blood samples will be collected in 1 mL evacuated Lithium heparin-containing collection tubes.  
Sufficient blood will be collected to yield approximately 0.4 mL plasma from each sample.  Immediately 
after collection, the blood samples will be inverted to ensure good mixing of the blood and 
anticoagulant, and will be placed in an ice bath.
Handling/Processing of Samples
The blood samples for DSM265 will be centrifuged at approximately 1400 x g for approximately 10 
minutes using a refrigerated centrifuge to separate the plasma within 1 hour of collection.  The plasma 
samples will be transferred using plastic pipettes into screw-capped polypropylene tubes labeled with 
the drug number name, type of sample (plasma), the protocol number, the subject number, the study 
day, and the planned time of sampling relative to dosing.  The plasma samples will be placed in a freezer 
within 2 hours after collection and maintained at –20°C or colder until shipped to Swiss BioQuant.
Disposition of Samples
The frozen plasma samples for DSM265 will be packed in dry ice sufficient to last during transport.  
Pick-up and shipment of samples to Swiss BioQuant will be organized by MMV. An inventory of the 
samples included will accompany the package.  Temperature excursions during transit will be 
tracked/recorded by the use of loggers included in the package.
Arrangements will be made with AbbVie for the shipment of samples to:

Introduction 
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) describes the statistical analysis to be completed for 
the DSM265 (A-1400550) Study Protocol B19-227 Version 1.0.  This SAP also provides 
details that describe analysis conventions to guide the statistical programming work. 
Unless noted otherwise, all analyses will be performed using SAS version 9.2 (SAS 
Institute Inc., Cary, NC  27513) or higher under the UNIX operating system. 
4.0 
Study Background 
4.1 
Objective 
The objective of this study is to compare the relative bioavailability of the oral 
DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD powder with that of a reference DSM265 25% SDD powder 
for suspension formulation.  Another objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of 
food on the bioavailability of DSM265-TPGS 34% SDD powder. 
4.2 
Study Design 
This Phase 1, single-dose, open-label study will be conducted according to a randomized 
parallel group design in adult male and female (non-childbearing potential) subjects.  
Three groups of 14 subjects each will be confined for 3 days with outpatient assessments 
through 21 days.  Blood samples will be collected for 480 hours after dosing. 
A schematic of the study design is shown in Figure 1.

B19-227 ± Statistical Analysis Plan 
Version 1.0 ± 13 Aug 2018

4.3.2 
Pharmacokinetic Endpoints 
The values for the pharmacokinetic parameters of DSM265 and possible metabolite(s) 
including Cmax, TmaxDSSDUHQWWHUPLQDOSKDVHHOLPLQDWLRQUDWHFRQVWDQWȕW1/2, AUC from 
time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUCt), AUC from time 0 to 
168 hours (AUC168) and from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) will be determined using 
non-compartmental methods.  Plasma concentration at 168 hours (C168) will also be 
measured.  Additional parameters may be estimated if useful in the interpretation of the 
data.  In addition, these blood samples may be used for other exploratory analysis. 
4.4 
Sample Size Justification 
The sample size used in this study is not based on statistical power considerations.  A 
sample size of 14 per regimen is considered sufficient for evaluation of the 
pharmacokinetics and safety of DSM265. 
5.0 
Analysis Populations 
Available data from all subjects will be used in the pharmacokinetic analyses.  All 
subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug will be included in the safety 
analyses. 
6.0 
Demographics, Baseline Characteristics, and Other 
Assessments 
6.1 
Demographic and Baseline Characteristics 
Descriptive statistics will be provided for demographic variables by regimen. 
7.0 
Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
7.1 
Tabulations and Summary Statistics 
Plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameter values of DSM265 and possible 
metabolite(s) will be tabulated for each subject by regimen.  Summary statistics will be 


 DSM265 
B19-227 ± Statistical Analysis Plan 
Version 1.0 ± 13 Aug 2018 
 
 
7 
computed for concentrations at each sampling time and for each parameter by regimen.  
Significant pharmacokinetic sample time deviations will be identified and listed. 
7.2 
Model and Tests 
An analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be performed for Tmax, the terminal phase 
elimLQDWLRQUDWHFRQVWDQWȕDQGWKHQDWXUDOORJDULWKPVRI&max, AUCt, AUC168, AUCinf, 
and C168.  The model will include the effects for regimen.  For the tests on regimen 
effects, the denominator sum of squares will be the residual sum of squares for error.  
Within the ANOVA modeling framework, the test regimen will be compared to the 
respective reference regimen by a test with a significance level of 0.05. 
Two comparisons will be performed:  DSM265-TPGS 34% powder fasted (Test 1, 
Regimen B) vs. DSM265 25% SDD powder fasted (Reference 1, Regimen A), and 
DSM265-TPGS 34% powder fed (Test 2, Regimen C) vs. DSM265-TPGS 34% powder 
fasted (Reference 2, Regimen B).  The bioavailability of each test regimen relative to that 
of each reference regimen will be assessed via 90% confidence intervals obtained from 
the analyses of the natural logarithms of Cmax and AUC.  These confidence intervals will 
be obtained by taking the antilogarithm of the upper and lower limits of confidence 
intervals for the difference of the least squares means on the logarithmic scale within the 
framework of the ANOVA model.  Bioequivalence between a test regimen and the 
respective reference regimen will be concluded if the 90% confidence intervals from the 
analyses of the natural logarithms of Cmax and AUC are within the 0.80 to 1.25 range. 
Additional analyses will be performed if useful and appropriate. 
7.3 
Missing Values and Model Violations 
All available data will be included in the ANOVA analysis.  Data exclusion, if any, will 
be documented and justification will be provided. 
The possibility of bias from missing data of subjects who prematurely discontinue for 
reasons possibly related to study drug will be assessed and addressed.  Normally values of 


 DSM265 
B19-227 ± Statistical Analysis Plan 
Version 1.0 ± 13 Aug 2018 
 
 
8 
pharmacokinetic variables (Cmax, AUC, etc.) will be determined without replacing missing 
individual concentration values, simply using the available data, and if necessary doing 
the analysis with some missing values for a pharmacokinetic variable.  However, missing 
concentration values for isolated individual blood samples may be replaced (imputed) if 
such might affect study conclusions or meaningfully affect point estimates. 
It is expected that the logarithmic transformation will be used for Cmax, AUC and C168.  
However, if the assumption of normal probability distributions is seriously violated for 
the logarithms of Cmax, AUC and C168 or for any of the other variables to be analyzed, 
appropriate transformations will be sought. 
8.0 
Safety Analyses 
Safety analyses will be conducted on adverse events, clinical laboratory data, vital signs, 
and ECG data.  The analyses described below in Section 8.1 through Section 8.3 will be 
performed.  Additional analyses will be performed if deemed useful and appropriate. 
8.1 
Analysis of Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA).  The number and percentage of subjects having treatment-emergent adverse 
events (i.e., any event that begins or worsens in severity after initiation of study drug) will 
be tabulated by primary System Organ Class (SOC) and MedDRA preferred term with a 
breakdown by regimen. 
The tabulation of the number of subjects with treatment-emergent adverse events also will 
be provided with further breakdowns by severity rating (according predefined criteria 
specified in study protocol Section 6.1) and relationship to study drug.  Subjects reporting 
more than one adverse event for a given MedDRA preferred term will be counted only 
once for that term using the most severe incident.  Subjects reporting more than one type 
of event within a SOC will be counted only once for that SOC.

8.2 
Analysis of Laboratory Data and Vital Signs 
8.2.1 
Clinical Laboratory Data 
Abnormal laboratory test values that are Very High or Very Low, according to Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0), will be identified.  The 
baseline laboratory value will be defined as the last measurement prior to the initial dose 
of study drug. 
8.2.2 
Vital Signs Data 
Vital signs measurements that are potentially clinically significant according to criteria 
listed below will be identified. 
Systolic blood pressure:  < 80 mmHg, > 150 mmHg, or > 20 mmHg change from 
baseline; Diastolic blood pressure:  < 50 mmHg, > 100 mmHg, or > 20 mmHg change 
from baseline; Pulse:  < 40 BPM, > 100 BPM, or > 30 BPM change from baseline; 
Temperature:  < 35°C or > 37.8°C. 
8.3 
ECG Data 
Abnormal ECG values will also be identified.
