Conditions: Pneumonia, Bacterial
Keywords: nemonoxacin community-acquired pneumonia quinolones
Sponsor: R-Pharm
Start date: 2016-05-04; Completion date: 2017-12-26
Enrollment: 342 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of treatment with Nemonoxacin compared with Tavanic® in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Detailed description:
Treatment-naive patients with CAP and patients with treatment failure were screened and if met the eligible criteria were randomized to receive either treatment with investigational product or comparator. Patients started to receive intravenous therapy with Nemonoxacin or Tavanic® and then upon a decision of investigator patients were switched to oral therapy with the same product.

Intravenous therapy included two consequence infusions (antibiotic solution and placebo solution) to maintain blinding. Intravenous therapy should have been given for at least 3 days and could have been prolonged by a decision of investigator up to 7 days. Then investigator switched a patient from intravenous to oral therapy on Day 4(8) of the study if the specific criteria of clinical stability were achieved. To maintain blinding during oral antibiotic therapy each Tavanic® tablet was placed into a capsule shell (over-encapsulated), that was identical in appearance to a Nemonoxacin-containing capsules.

The average duration of treatment (including intravenous and oral therapy) for each patient was 7(14) days and during this period patients should have stayed at hospital. After completion of the treatment patients could have been discharged from the hospital and returned for examinations within 1-2 days after the last dose (end of treatment visit). Then the patients attended the investigational site within 7-9 days after the last dose (test of cure visit). Then the investigator contacted the patients by phone within 21-23 days after the last dose (long-term follow-up visit).

Arms: arm 1: Nemonoxacin solution for infusion, 500 mg (250 ml), daily, as single intravenous infusion over 90-110 minutes followed by infusion of Placebo (100 ml), solution for infusion, over a minimum duration of 60 minutes.

Then will be switched to oral therapy with Nemonoxacin capsules, 500 mg once daily (two 250 mg capsules). arm 2: Tavanic® solution for infusion, 500 mg (100 ml), daily, as single intravenous infusion over a minimum duration of 60 minutes with previous infusion of Placebo (250 ml), solution for infusion, over 90-110 minutes.

Then will be switched to oral therapy with Tavanic®, over-encapsulated film coated tablets, 500 mg once daily (two capsules each containing 250 mg film coated tablet).
Interventions: intervention 1: Nemonoxacin intervention 2: Nemonoxacin intervention 3: Tavanic intervention 4: Tavanic intervention 5: Placebo (250 ml) intervention 6: Placebo (100 ml)
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Solution for infusion, 500 mg (250 ml) intervention 2: Capsules, 250 mg intervention 3: Solution for infusion, 500 mg (100 ml) intervention 4: Film coated tablets (each tablet is placed into a capsule shell (overencapsulated) for blinding purposes), 250 mg intervention 5: 0.9% NaCl (250 ml), solution for infusion intervention 6: 0.9% NaCl (100 ml), solution for infusion

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROTOCOL CHANGES 
 
The changes introduced into the Protocol by Amendment No. 4 dated 26 April 
2017 are listed below:  
Appendix 1 contains Intensive Care Unit admission criteria that have been 
corrected on the basis of the “Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment, and 
prevention of severe community-acquired pneumonia in adult patients of 2014” (referred 
to further in the protocol changes description as the “2014 Clinical Guidelines”). These 
criteria have been brought into agreement with the Infectious Diseases Society of 
America / American Thoracic Society criteria referenced by the 2014 Clinical Guidelines.  
Section 11.5 now contains clarified requirements for the registration of 
pregnancies in the course of the study.  
Sections 12.1 and 12.2 contain clarified requirements for the enrollment of 
subjects in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) population.  
Section 13.3 now provides information on the financing and insurance of the 
study.  
Minor formatting changes and correction of misprints in the protocol were 
performed as well. 
 
The principal changes introduced into the Protocol by Amendment No. 3 dated 26 
December 2016 are listed below.  
The following changes were made in the inclusion criteria:  
• 
Inclusion criterion No. 2 was modified: the maximum age of patients that 
can be enrolled in the study was increased to 70 years inclusive. This 
change was due to a significant proportion of such patients in the overall 
population of patients admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of 
“community-acquired pneumonia”, and was aimed to enlarge the study 
population.  
• 
Inclusion criterion No. 3 was clarified (the need to meet the requirements 
of Appendix 1 “Criteria for hospitalization” was again underlined). 
• 
For Inclusion criterion No. 4, a clearer definition of required symptoms / 
signs was included: the terms “dyspnea” and “rigors” were excluded to 
avoid misunderstanding. 
  
The following change was made in the exclusion criteria:  
• 
For Exclusion criterion No. 4, a clearer definition of QT prolongation was 
included: QTc(F) interval more than 450 ms.  
          
In the “Contact information” section, information on the Central Microbiological 
Laboratory and the Central Pharmacokinetic Laboratory was added.  
Section 8.6 “Blinding” now contains a modified description of the package 
labeling, which will allow masking of blinding packages right at the investigational sites 
for more convenience of the investigational site personnel.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
 
            Section 8.7 “Prior and concomitant therapy” now contains a clarification that the 
eCRF documents information on previous drugs and treatments used from the onset of 
community-acquired pneumonia until the enrollment in the study (signing of the 
Informed Consent Form).  
          Section 9.1 “Schedule of study procedures” now includes, in the interests of study 
subjects, clarified requirements for the time frame of Visit 3, which should be conducted 
at least 24 hours after the last dose of the study drug.  
           The description of the screening procedures and Sections 10.3.4, 10.3.5, 10.3.6 
now include information that the Investigator may use laboratory test results obtained at 
the laboratory of the investigational site within 24 hours of study enrollment (Signing of 
the Informed Consent Form) if he / she considers that available data are sufficient to 
permit a decision on whether the subject meets the selection criteria. In this case, another 
blood sampling procedure has to be conducted in the period from the signing of the 
Informed Consent Form to the start of treatment in order to evaluate all other laboratory 
parameters that have to be determined on Day 1 in accordance with the study protocol. 
This amendment was done in the interests of study subjects, in order to rule out more 
unnecessary material collection procedures, as well as to shorten the time to start of 
treatment.  
The description of the screening procedures (9.2.1) now provides clarifying 
information that prior therapy should be evaluated for the 30 days preceding the Visit and 
treatment, from the onset of community-acquired pneumonia.  
For all study visits including an ECG recording (Visit 1 “Screening procedures”, 
Visit 2 “Switch to oral therapy”, Visit 3, Visit 4), an opportunity was added, for more 
convenience of patients and investigators, to have an ECG recording not only before the 
blood sampling procedure, but also 30 minutes after it.                                                               
The description of the Visit 2 procedures (9.2.2) now provides clarifying 
information that, in the event intravenous therapy is prolonged, the overall duration of 
treatment within this study will not exceed 14 days.            
Section 10.2.1 "Chest X-ray / Chest Computed Tomography” now includes 
clarifying information that only one radiological method (X-ray imaging only or CT 
imaging only for all visits) should be used for a patient throughout the study to ensure 
unified and improved quality of analysis.          
Section 10.3.7 “Documentation of adverse events” now contains clarified 
requirements for the documentation of adverse events.  
Section 11.1.1 “Adverse event (AE)” now provides clarifying information in 
order to improve the adverse event reporting procedure: any worsening of symptoms of 
the primary disease (as compared with estimates made during the screening procedures) 
should also be registered as an AE; there is now also information that the Investigator 
will record all available information on each occurring SAE in the source 
documentation.  
            The title of Section 11.4  “ Management of Non Serious Adverse Events (NSAEs) 
and/or laboratory abnormalities” was changed to 11.4 “Management of adverse events 
not classified as serious”. A requirement was also included to record information about 
adverse events in the source documentation.  
Clarifying information was included in Appendix 1:

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
 
• 
Clearer criteria for preferred in-patient treatment and for hospitalization in 
an intensive care unit were included.  
• 
One of the criteria for hospitalization in an intensive care unit was better 
defined: Respiratory rate ≥ 30 movements per minute.  
 
 
       Minor formatting changes and correction of misprints in the protocol were performed 
as well.  
  
The changes introduced into the Protocol by Administrative Amendment No. 1 
dated 17 March 2016:  
The mailing address of the Study Sponsor was changed to 111B, Leninskiy 
Prospekt, 119421, Moscow, Russia.  
Section 8.9 “Treatment compliance” now mentions that the volume (mL) of the 
infusion (instead of the dose) will be recorded in the eCRF.  
Information was added in Section 9.3 “Unscheduled visits” that, if the 
Investigator makes a decision to withdraw a subject from the study during an 
unscheduled visit (a so-called “early termination visit”), the minimal number of 
completed procedures should correspond to that of the “End of treatment visit”. For 
more information on discontinuation of therapy and early withdrawal of subjects from 
the study, see Section 7  
Section 10.3.2  “Vital signs” now contains clarifying information that both 
systolic and diastolic blood pressure should be measured.  
The contact details for SAE reporting was changed in Section 11.3.1 “Reporting 
duties of the Investigator”.  
 
No changes were made in the study protocol following Amendment No. 2 dated 
05 September 2016. Amendment No. 2 dated 05 September 2016 was abolished and was 
not used.

2 SYNOPSIS 
Title of Study: 
An international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-
dummy, two-way, parallel group, controlled study to compare 
the efficacy and safety of intravenous and oral Nemonoxacin 
versus Tavanic® in adult patients with community-acquired 
pneumonia. 
Protocol code: 
CJ01060044 
Sponsor: 
R-Pharm JSC 
Medical condition 
or disease under 
investigation: 
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) 
Objectives: 
 
Primary objective 
• 
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of treatment with 
Nemonoxacin compared with Tavanic® in patients with 
CAP. 
Secondary objectives 
• 
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of treatment with 
intravenous Nemonoxacin compared with intravenous 
Tavanic® in patients with CAP 
• 
To assess the safety of treatment with Nemonoxacin 
compared with Tavanic® in patients with CAP 
• 
To assess the pharmacokinetic parameters of intravenous 
Nemonoxacin in adult patients with CAP 
• 
To evaluate the microbiological efficacy of treatment 
with Nemonoxacin compared with Tavanic® in patients 
with CAP. 
Study design: 
This is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-
blind, double-dummy, controlled, parallel group study of 
efficacy and safety. 
Treatment-naive 
patients 
with 
community-acquired 
pneumonia (non-nosocomial pneumonia) and patients with 
treatment failure will be screened and if eligible will be 
randomized to receive either treatment with Nemonoxacin or 
Tavanic® in a ratio of 1:1. 
Patients will stay at hospital (non-intensive care unit) and 
receive daily i.v. treatment with either invesigational product 
(Nemonoxacin 500 mg (250 ml), solution for infusion) with 
Placebo (100 ml), solution for infusion, or comparator (Tavanic® 
500 mg (100 ml), solution for infusion) with Placebo (250 ml), 
solution for infusion, for at least 3 days. The i.v. treatment may 
be prolonged by decision of investigator until and including Day 
7 of the study. 
Thus the investigator will switch a patient from i.v. to

oral therapy at Day 4(8) of the study if the specific criteria of 
clinical stability are achieved. The treatment will be continued 
with appropriate oral therapy. If the patient receives i.v. therapy 
with Nemonoxacin he/she will continue oral therapy with 
Nemonoxacin 250 mg, 2 capsules per day. If the patient receives 
i.v. therapy with Tavanic® he/she will continue oral therapy with 
Tavanic® 250 mg, 2 over-encapsulated film coated tablets per 
day. 
The duration of oral therapy will be judged by 
investigator and oral therapy will last until and including Day 
7(14) of the study. 
The study includes 5 visits:  
1. Visit 1 (Screening /randomization/ intravenous therapy, 
Days 1-3(7) of the study )

Statistical 
methods: 
Samples size calculation 
The primary efficacy objective is to show that 
Nemonoxacin is not inferior to Levofloxacin (Tavanic®) for the 
treatment of CAP, on the basis of the primary efficacy endpoint - 
clinical success at Visit 4 (Test of cure visit) in the mITT 
population. The sample size calculation for this endpoint is based 
on assuming a clinical success rate of 82% in the treatment and 
in the active control group, and an eligibility of 80% of the 
randomized patients for mITT population. Non-inferiority 
margin is chosen to be 15% (i.e., δ= -15%), a one-sided 
significance level α is set at 5%. Then, to achieve power of 80%, 
the sample size for equal allocation is estimated as 171 
randomized patients in each group (342 patients totally) that 
provides about 137 patients in each group (274 patients totally) 
in the mITT population. 
Presumably screening of 382 patients will allow 
randomization of 342 patients.

Statistical methods 
Primary efficacy analysis 
The percentage and the number of patients with different 
categories of clinical response (“clinical success”, “clinical 
failure”, “indeterminate”) will be summarized by treatment 
group in mITT and CE populations for Visits 2 (switch to oral 
therapy), Visit 3 and Visit 4. 
The percentage of patients with clinical success (as 
judged by the investigator) at the test of cure Visit 4 is defined as 
primary endpoint variable. 
In regards to efficacy for CAP, non-inferiority of 
Nemonoxacin compared to Tavanic® will be evaluated for 
clinical response by using a one-sided 95% confidence interval 
for 
the 
difference 
in 
the 
primary 
efficacy 
endpoint 
(investigational product minus comparator). Non-inferiority of 
Nemonoxacin will be stated if the lower boundary of the 
estimated one-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference in 
the clinical success rate of Nemonoxacin and Tavanic®  is above 
-15% the Farrington-Manning test. 
The primary analysis will be performed in the mITT 
population. 
If non-inferiority is shown, a test on superiority will be 
performed in addition using the two-sided 95% confidence 
interval. The test on superiority is significant, if the lower two-
sided 95% confidence interval limit is above “0”. 
Secondary efficacy analyses 
As a supportive analysis, the primary efficacy endpoint 
will be analyzed in the CE population using the same method as 
that used for the primary efficacy analysis. 
For secondary efficacy analyses, the clinical success rates 
of the patients in the mITT and CE populations at Visits 2 and 3 
as well as the number (proportion) of patients who needed other 
antibiotic treatment (treatment failure) will be analyzed using a 
two-sided 95% confidence interval (equality test) calculated 
based on the same statistical test as for the primary analysis. 
Additionally, the results of statistical comparison of the 
clinical success rates using the logistic regression will also be 
provided.  
Microbiological 
efficacy 
endpoints 
will 
include 
microbiological success rates evaluated per each patient and by 
identified pathogens in b-mITT and BE. 
The percentage and the number of patients with 
microbiological success and failure will be summarized by visit 
and treatment group. Microbiological success is defined as the

assessments of eradication and presumed eradication. Other 
results of assessments (excluding unevaluable) will be regarded 
as 
microbiological 
failure. 
The 
difference 
between 
microbiological success rates and its CI will be calculated using 
the same method as that used for the secondary efficacy 
endpoints. 
The percentage and number of the baseline-identified 
strains (sputum and blood culture) with microbiological success 
and failure will be summarized by visit and treatment group. The 
frequency of each category and sample source (sputum and blood 
culture) will be presented separately and by treatment group. 
Microbiological data by identified pathogens will be analyzed 
descriptively. 
Time to switch therapy from i.v. to oral therapy will be 
evaluated using the Kaplan – Meier survival analysis method and 
compared by log-rank test between treatment groups. The 
Kaplan-Meier curves will be presented graphically. 
Safety evaluation 
Safety evaluation will include assessment of AEs, vital 
signs, ECG and physical examination data and laboratory tests in 
the safety population. All safety statistical analyses will be 
performed descriptively. 
Pharmacokinetic parameters 
The non-compartment method will be used to analyze the 
Nemonoxacin concentration-time data after the first intravenous 
Nemonoxacin infusion in adult patients with CAP. 
The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be 
estimated from the measured concentrations: the peak drug 
concentration (Cmax), 22.5-h drug concentrations (C22.5h), areas 
under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 22.5 h, and 0 h to 
infinity (AUC0-22.5, AUC0-∞), total systemic clearance (CL), 
volume of distribution at steady state (Vss), and terminal 
elimination half-life (T1/2).

3 INTRODUCTION 
3.1 
Background information 
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that lower respiratory tract infection 
(LRTI), including pneumonia, is the third most common cause of death worldwide. LRTI caused 3.1 
million deaths in 2012 [23]. 
Pneumonia is an acute illness characterized by symptoms and signs of lower respiratory tract 
infection, with new radiographic shadowing for which there is no alternative explanation. 
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is pneumonia acquired outside a hospital or long-term care 
facility and being diagnosed within 48 hours of hospital admission [14]. 
Evidence suggests CAP is most commonly caused by bacterial infection [14]. 
Streptococcus pneumoniae (the most common etiologic agent), nontypeable Haemophilus 
influenzae, and the atypical organisms (i.e., Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and 
Legionella pneumophila) are the most frequently isolated pathogens from patients of any age who 
require hospitalization for CAP [17] [20].  
Increasing resistance to a variety of antimicrobial agents has been documented in S 
pneumoniae and is common in H influenzae as well. In addition to penicillin resistance (penicillin-
intermediate S. pneumonia - PISP, or penicillin-resistant S. pneumonia - PRSP), isolates of S 
pneumoniae have demonstrated increasing resistance to other classes of antimicrobials, including 
macrolides, tetracyclines, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX), and fluoroquinolones [8] 
[9]. Surveillance studies indicate that the prevalence of drug-resistant S.pneumoniae (DRSP) 
continues to increase worldwide [8]. 
The basic problem of resistance in H. influenzae species is defined by ampicillin as the 
resistance marker. The resistance of H. influenzae to ampicillin may occur due to production of β-
lactamases (TEM-1, TEM-2, and with lower frequency ROB-1) or as a result of mutations in the ftsI 
gene that cause alterations in the amino acid sequences of penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) in so 
called β-lactamase negative ampicillin-resistant (BLNAR) strains. Strains producing β-lactamases 
remain susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanate; however, clavulanate is inactive against BLNAR 
strains, so such strains are resistant to amoxicillin/clavulanate. BLNAR strains are also resistant to 
ampicillin–sulbactam, cefaclor, and cefuroxime. Both mechanisms of resistance, i.e., β-lactamase 
production and mutations in the ftsI gene, are present in β-lactamase positive amoxicillin–clavulanic 
acid resistant (BLPACR) strains [2] [12]. 
The number of necrotizing or cavitary pneumonia may be caused by methicillin-resistant 
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [19]. MRSA has been a major cause of nosocomial infections, and 
thus is alternatively called hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA). In addition, another class of 
MRSA has become a major concern worldwide as an emerging pathogen in the community. This 
new class of MRSA is called community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) [22]. MRSA is resistant to 
b-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin and cephalosporins. Compared with nosocomial MRSA, 
CA-MRSA species are generally more susceptible to antibiotics, including trimethoprim–
sulfamethoxazole, rifampin, quinolones, and clindamycin, though resistance to clindamycin may be 
selected [4]. Published data has suggested that CA-MRSA was not a frequent cause of community-
acquired pneumonia (CAP), although with increasing incidence over the past few years the

Page 24 of 88 
Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
frequency of CA-MRSA CAP can be estimated to be between one in 200 and one in 2000 cases of 
CAP [13]. 
Initial antimicrobial treatment for patients with CAP should provide appropriate coverage 
against the most common causative organisms, including resistant strains [17].  
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Society for Clinical 
Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) recommends that initial empirical treatment for 
hospitalized non-intensive care unit (non-ICU) patients with CAP should be provided with 
following antibiotics (with one of proposed regimens): aminopenicillin with or without macrolide; 
aminopenicillin/b-lactamase inhibitor ± macrolide; non-antipseudomonal cephalosporin; cefotaxime 
or ceftriaxone with or without macrolide; levofloxacin; moxifloxacin; penicillin G with or without 
macrolide [21]. 
The American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (ATS/IDSA) 
consensus guidelines on the management of CAP in adults recommend that the standard empirical 
regimen should routinely cover the 3 most common pathogens that cause severe CAP, all of the 
atypical pathogens, and most of the relevant Enterobacteriaceae species. ATS/IDSA recommends 
treating CAP with a respiratory fluoroquinolone or a b-lactam plus a macrolide for hospitalized non-
ICU adult patients [11]. 
According to Russian guidelines on the management of CAP in adults monotherapy with 
respiratory fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin; moxifloxacin) is an alternative to combination of b-
lactam plus a macrolide [1]. 
In summary, fluoroquinolones are highly active and efficacious against respiratory pathogens 
[21] and in some cases should be used as first-line agents [18]. 
Although respiratory pathogens (e.g., Moraxella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, and 
Streptococcus pneumoniae) are generally susceptible to quinolones, resistance does occur, it has 
been reported in localized outbreaks [10], and is associated with clinical failure [6] [7]. Some CA-
MRSA clones have become fluoroquionlone resistant [22].  
The problem of fluoroquinolone resistance has brought great challenge into clinical practice. 
Therefore, the development of newer quinolone compounds with greater activity and less resistance 
is urgently required [15]. 
3.2 
Investigational products 
Nemonoxacin is a novel non-fluorinated quinolone (NFQ) and will be investigated as an 
investigational product in this clinical study. Nemonoxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, a key 
topoisomerase involved in the formation of bacterial DNA supercoils [28]. 
Nemonoxacin was first developed by Procter and Gamble Pharmaceuticals (Cincinnati, OH, 
USA) and completed the Phase IA single-dose escalation studies in 2004. Thereafter, it was 
authorized to TaiGen Biotechnology Co, Ltd (Taipei, Taiwan) for worldwide clinical trials and 
further development [15]. TaiGen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. licensed Russian pharmaceutical 
company R-Pharm JSC exclusive rights to develop and register Nemonoxacin in the Russian 
Federation, other members of the Commonwealth Independent States (CIS) countries and Turkey 
(http://r-pharm.com). 
The drug is available in intravenous (i.v.) and capsules formulations. Nemonoxacin capsules 
has already been approved in Taiwan and China for treatment of CAP. Intravenous formulation has 
passed phase II of clinical studies and phase III clinical study is ongoing in China.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
Tavanic® (levofloxacin) is an approved fluoroquinolone, which will be used as a comparator 
in this clinical study. 
Levofloxacin is the optically active L-isomer of ofloxacin and acts on the DNA-DNA-gyrase 
complex and topoisomerase IV. Levofloxacin is indicated in adults for the treatment of community-
acquired pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections, uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract 
infections including acute pyelonephritis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, etc. The CAP indication is 
approved for both tablets and i.v. formulations of levofloxacin. 
3.3 
Preclinical and clinical studies of Nemonoxacin 
Below there is brief information on the results of preclinical and clinical studies. Detailed 
information is presented in Investigational Brochure. 
Nemonoxacin was investigated under the research number “TG-873870”. The malate salt 
hemihydrate of TG-873870, “TG-875649”, was determined to be conducted in the initial clinical 
studies; dosing was adjusted to reflect the clinical dosage of anhydrous free base, TG-873870. 
3.3.1 Preclinical studies of Nemonoxacin 
3.3.1.1 
In vitro studies on antibacterial activity of nemonoxacin 
Nemonoxacin had broad-antibacterial spectrum in vitro. It exhibited strong antibacterial 
activity against penicillin-sensitive or penicillin-intermediate, or penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae 
(PSSP, PISP, PRSPA), some gram-negative bacteria (e.g., M. catarrhalis, H. influenzae, etc.), and 
atypical pathogens (such as L. pneumophila, M. pneumoniae and C. pneumoniae). In addition, this 
drug also showed good antibacterial activity against community-acquired methicillin-resistant S. 
aureus (CA-MRSA) and drug-resistant S. pneumoniae (DRSP) [28]. In case of respiratory 
pathogens nemonoxacin had the same or superior activity to marketed fluoroquinolones [5][28]. 
In accordance to the drug resistance tests on Nemonoxacin it was shown that mutation site of 
the drug in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) was different from other 
quinolones (mutation generally occurred in gyrA and parC) [28]. 
3.3.1.2 
Efficacy of nemonoxacin in pulmonary model of infection 
The in vivo antibacterial efficacy of nemonoxacin was evaluated in a mouse pulmonary 
model of infection by Streptococcus pneumonia and in a mouse pulmonary model of infection by 
penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae and K. pneumoniae. During the first study nemonoxacin 
significantly reduced the amount of viable bacteria in lungs and blood samples at all dosage levels 
when compared to vehicle-treated controls and protected from death in 100% cases. Moreover 
nemonoxacin was more effective than moxifloxacin at the same dosage levels. In the second study 
nemonoxacin also significantly reduced the viable bacteria counts of penicillin-resistant S. 
pneumoniae in lungs when compared to vehicle-treated controls and had slightly higher efficacy 
than levofloxacin. Against the K. pneumoniae infections, oral administration of nemonoxacin 
showed a significantly reduction in bacteria counts when compared to vehicle-treated controls but 
the drug had lower efficacy than levofloxacin [28].

3.3.1.3 Animal pharmacokinetics and metabolism 
Nemonoxacin absorption was nearly complete after single oral dosing in dogs and monkeys 
(bioavailability of 80% in monkeys and 100% in dogs), while bioavailability was lower (~30%) in 
rats. Food decreased the bioavailability by up to 77% in monkeys. 
Protein binding to mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, monkey and human plasma was low (ranging from 
12 to 48%) over the concentration range of 0.1 to 1000 µg/mL, indicating little potential for protein 
binding-based drug interactions. 
After single-dose intravenous infusion (10 mg/kg) or oral gavage administration (30 mg/kg) 
of Nemonoxacin to rats, the drug was distributed to body immediately; the concentrations of 
Nemonoxacin in kidney, liver, submandibular gland, small intestine, lung and spleen were the 
higher, followed by heart, muscle, large intestine, pancreas and bladder. The concentrations of 
nemonoxacin in brain and fat were relatively lower. There was a significant difference between 
ovary gonads and testicles. For both administration routes, drug was distributed similar in body. 
Monkey and human hepatocytes did not metabolize nemonoxacin. The rat hepatocytes 
produced one metabolite (a glucuronide conjugate) but the extent of metabolism was low (<5% of 
total drug) [28]. 
3.3.1.4 
Toxicological studies 
The in vitro genotoxicity (mutagenicity) was considered to be related to its mechanism on 
inhibition of DNA gyrase by the drug. In mice micronucleus tests and rat unscheduled DNA 
synthesis tests, animals administered with nemonoxacin at a dose up to 2000 mg/kg did not produce 
in vivo genotoxicity. The drug had no potential to cause hemolytic effect in in vitro hemolysis test 
with rabbit erythrocytes. 
In repeated dose toxicity studies renal tubular effects were observed at ≥ 20 mg/kg following 
7 days of dosing, but these effects were not observed at up to 1000 mg/kg (AUC ≈ 130 h*µg/mL) 
following 1 month of dosing in rats, or up to 500→300 mg/kg (AUC ≈ 680 h*µg/mL) in monkeys. 
This likely represents the large capacity of the kidney to adapt to the effect.  
In the 1-month monkey study, watery stools were observed at a dose of 30 mg/kg (AUC = 60 
h* µg/mL), emesis, sinus bradycardia, and increased urine protein at a dose of 100 mg/kg (AUC = 
230 h* µg/mL), and QRS widening, decreased activity, ptosis, pale skin, dilated pupils, and thymic 
atrophy at a dose of 500 mg/kg (AUC = 690 h* µg/mL). There was a dose-dependent prolongation 
of mean QTc and a reduction of the mean heart rate (prolonged R-R interval) for the high dose 
group (500/300 mg/kg) at 3 hours post dose on Days 5 and 26. The mean QTc was mildly prolonged 
in the female monkeys and the mean heart rate reduced for the mid dose group (100 mg/kg). The 
mean QTc and heart rate recovered by the subsequent 24-hour timepoint for both groups. These 
changes were attributed to the administration of TG-875649 (nemonoxacin malic acid salt, 
hemihydrate).  
In a 28-day dog study, QTc prolongation was observed in dogs treated with second dose of 
100 mg/kg at 1 hour post-dose, but this sign was not seen at 24 hour post-dose. No ECG change was 
noted after the last dose administration. 
A battery of safety pharmacology studies was conducted to assess the effect of TG-873870 
on the central nervous system (CNS), cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal 
(GI) system, and renal system. Based on the results of the studies it was demonstrated that TG-
873870 had effects on the CNS, GI systems and on cardiac electrophysiology, which were

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
consistent with the known pharmacology of quinolones. The hERG and Purkinje findings suggest 
the possibility of QTc prolongation in man. Mild effects were also seen at the high dose (1000 
mg/kg) in some CNS (decreased SMA) and GI (decreased gastric motility) studies. 
Nemonoxacin did not elicit cutaneous phototoxicity when administered orally either once or 
repeatedly; did not produce systemic hypersensitive reactions during active systemic anaphylaxis 
test. In the bone/cartilage studies in juvenile dogs administered nemonoxacin at 10, 20, or 40 
mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, the microscopic changes were noted in 2/3 males and 3/3 females of the 40 
mg/kg/day dose group, the changes were graded minimal to moderate in severity and characterized 
by degeneration/necrosis with or without horizontal clefting and/or erosion of the articular cartilage. 
The nature and distribution (targeting the weight bearing area and middle zone of the proximal and 
distal femur) of these microscopic changes were compatible with quinolone-induced 
arthropathy/chondrotoxicity. No apparent changes were seen after 13 weeks recovery, suggesting a 
complete reversibility of the changes [28]. 
3.3.1.5 
Interaction with cytochrome P450 
Human primary hepatocytes were used to test the inducing potential of nemonoxacin. 
Nemonoxacin showed no significant induction or inhibition of CYP 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19 and 
3A4 at concentration up to 100 µg/mL [28].  
3.3.2 Clinical studies of nemonoxacin 
At this time thirteen clinical studies of nemonoxacin, oral capsules, with a total of more than 
870 subjects have been completed in U.S., China, South Africa and Taiwan. Five clinical studies of 
nemonoxacin, solution for infusion, have been already conducted in more than 380 subjects. 
3.3.2.1 
Phase I clinical trials 
During a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-design, single ascending 
dose study (#2003107) carried out in the USA the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of 
orally administered nemonoxacin in healthy male and female volunteers were investigated. Fifty six 
subjects were enrolled in the study. Healthy volunteers were randomized to the nemonoxacin group 
and the control (placebo) group at a ratio of 3:1. Nine escalating dose cohorts, i.e. 25 mg, 50 mg, 
125 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, 1000 mg, 1500 mg, 2000 mg and 2500 mg, were planned. However, 
because of the AEs (pruritus and erythema), dose escalation was stopped after 1500 mg dose. 
Therefore, 1500 mg was defined as the maximum tolerated dose. There were no significant 
laboratory and ECG abnormalities and also no vital signs abnormalities. Nemonoxacin was rapidly 
absorbed after oral administration in the fasted state, with peak plasma concentrations attained 
within 1 to 2 hours post-dose. The mean terminal exponential half-life (T1/2) was approximately 10 
hours over the 25 mg to 250 mg dose range and increased to approximately 15 hours at higher doses. 
The mean renal clearance rate was approximately 0.09 L/h/kg; the mean oral clearance rate was 
approximately 0.22 L/h/kg; and the mean terminal volume of distribution was 3.8 L/kg. The mean 
urinary excretion was approximately 45% of the administered dose over the 25mg to 1500 mg dose 
range and 75% of the urinary excretion occurred within the first 24h after drug administration. In 
addition, the mean plasma protein binding of approximately 16% was observed over the 
concentration range of 141 ng/mL to 4270 ng/mL [28].

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
The safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple orally administered doses of 
nemonoxacin were investigated during a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, 
escalating, multiple-dose study (#TG-873870-01) conducted in the USA in healthy volunteers. A 
total of 46 subjects were enrolled in the study. Each subject received an assigned dose of the study 
drug or the placebo once daily for ten days. Five dose groups, e.g. 75 mg, 250 mg, 500 mg, 750 mg 
and 1000 mg, were studied. Each of the 75 mg and 250 mg dose groups consisted of 8 subjects. The 
ratio of the investigational drug to placebo was 3:1 (6 active, 2 placebo). Each of the 500 mg, 750 
mg and 1000 mg dose groups consisted of 10 subjects. The ratio of the investigational drug to 
placebo was 4:1 (8 active, 2 placebo). There were no apparent differences in laboratory test, ECG 
intervals, ECG morphology, vital signs measurement and physical examination findings during the 
study. With the exception of changes in serum amylase and serum lipase in one subject each, there 
were no clinical laboratory findings of potential clinical concern during the study. There was rapid 
absorption of nemonoxacin following oral administration in the fasted state, with peak plasma 
concentrations attained within 1 to 2 hours post-dose. Half-life ranged from approximately 7 to 8 
hours after single dose administration of 75 mg - 1000 mg. The half-life appeared to increase after 
repeated administration for 10 days (ranged from approximately 18-23 hours). The presence of food 
led to decrease in both Cmax and AUC (Cmax and AUC0-24h decreased by approximately 46% and 
27% respectively in the fed state) and a 3-hour delay in median Tmax [28]. 
A phase I clinical study of intravenous administration of Nemonoxacin malate sodium 
chloride injection was carried out in China and consisted of four parts (TG-873870-C-2: part A, B, 
C-1 and C-2). During the part A of study the tolerability of intravenous Nemonoxacin malate 
injection was investigated. To explore the safe dose by evaluating the safety and tolerability of eight 
dose levels of nemonoxacin (25, 50, 125, 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 mg) the drug was given as 
single intravenous dose in Chinese healthy subjects. A total of 92 subjects were assigned into 12 
groups with equal numbers of male and female. The tolerated-dose study of the nemonoxacin 
indicated that the tolerated-dose ranged from 25 mg to 1250 mg and the maximum dose was 1250 
mg. The most common drug-related AE was local reaction at administration sites (27/68) and skin 
rash with or without pruritus (13/68) All AEs were mild and transient, and recovered spontaneously 
during the administration or shortly after administration. No important or serious AEs that led to 
study discontinuation and clinical significant change in ECG was observed. As for the laboratory 
tests, no drug related hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia occurred. The infusion rate of the drug ranged 
from 0.42 mg/min to 8.33mg/min. The occurrence of skin rash was more common with infusion rate 
of 8.33 mg/min (3 subjects each in 500 mg and 750 mg group), and all other infusion rates (0.42 
mg/min to 5.56 mg/min) were tolerated well. 
Part B of the trial evaluated the pharmacokinetic profiles of single-dose nemonoxacin malate 
sodium chloride injection at 250, 500, and 750mg in healthy Chinese volunteers (see Brochure for 
details).  
During the part C-1 (500 mg and 750 mg doses were investigated) and C-2 (500 mg, 650 mg 
and 750 mg doses were investigated) of study the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the multi-
dose continuous intravenous infusion of nemonoxacin malate was investigated. During these studies 
there were no serious AEs and clinical significant change in ECG. In the C-1 study after the multiple 
intravenous infusions of nemonoxacin Cmax on day 10 (steady state) in the 500mg and 750mg group 
was 9.600±1.838 µg/mL and 11.039±2.177 µg/mL respectively. AUC0-t (for 500 mg group: 22.5h; 
for 750 mg group: 21.75h) was 44.03±8.62 µg.h/mL and 65.82±10.78 µg.h/mL respectively. 
Statistical analysis revealed no cumulative effect in both groups after administration for consecutive 
10 days [28].

3.3.2.2 
Phase II clinical trials 
A randomized, double-blind, comparative, multi-center study (#TG-873870-02) of the safety 
and efficacy of oral nemonoxacin versus oral levofloxacin in adult patients with CAP was carried 
out in 19 study centers in South Africa and Taiwan. A total of 265 subjects were enrolled and 
randomized in the study: 86 patients in the nemonoxacin 750 mg group, 89 in the nemonoxacin 500 
mg group and 90 in the levofloxacin 500 mg group. Patients received therapy once daily for 7 days. 
The study revealed that 750 and 500 mg nemonoxacin had similar clinical efficacy when compared 
with 500 mg levofloxacin once daily for 7 days. The safety profile of nemonoxacin was also similar 
to that of levofloxacin and it was consistent with the favorable safety results of nemonoxacin in 
previous phase I studies [28]. 
Efficacy and safety of Nemonoxacin malate sodium chloride injection versus Moxifloxacin 
hydrochloride sodium chloride injection in the treatment of moderate to severe adult CAP were 
evaluated during a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel, controlled, phase II study. 
Patients received either 500 mg nemonoxacin, 650 mg nemonoxacin, or comparator drug 
moxifloxacin 400 mg once a day for 7 to 14 days. A total of 207 subjects were randomly enrolled in 
30 research centers: 69 subjects were in the nemonoxacin 500mg group, 68 subjects were in the 
nemonoxacin 650 mg group and 70 subjects were in the control group (moxifloxacin 400mg). 
Nemonoxacin had shown similar clinical efficacy, microbiological efficacy, and overall efficacy 
when compared with moxifloxacin hydrochloride sodium chloride injection once a day for 7 to 14 
days. The AEs reported during the study were mostly mild, transient, and tolerated by most patients. 
The main drug-related AEs in patients who received nemonoxacin were local reactions at the 
infusion site. The main drug-related laboratory abnormalities were elevated liver transaminases 
without bilirubin elevation [24]. 
3.3.2.3 
Phase III clinical trials 
During a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel, comparative, 
phase III study the efficacy and safety of oral administration with Nemonoxacin versus 
Levofloxacin in treating adult patients with CAP were evaluated (TG-873870-C-4). The study was 
conducted in 53 study centers in China and Taiwan. A total of 532 patients were randomized into 
the study at a ratio of 2:1 into two groups: the investigational group (nemonoxacin 500 mg) and the 
control group (levofloxacin 500 mg), respectively. There were 357 patients in the investigational 
group (nemonoxacin) and 175 patients in the control group (levofloxacin). Duration of therapy was 
7 – 10 days. The results of the study indicate that oral administration of 500 mg nemonoxacin 
malate capsules for 7 to 10 consecutive days achieved excellent clinical and microbiological 
efficacies in treating adult CAP patients. Nemonoxacin had similar clinical and microbiological 
efficacies as compared with levofloxacin. Statistical analysis demonstrated that nemonoxacin was 
non-inferior to in clinical and microbiological efficacies. The AEs reported in the study were mostly 
mild in intensity, well-tolerated, and did not affect the course of the treatment. No deaths were 
reported during this study [25].

Assessment of Potential risks and benefits for participants 
Comparator Tavanic® (Levofloxacin) is effective antibiotic approved for treatment of a wide 
variety of infectious diseases, including CAP. The drug may be administered for empiric 
antimicrobial therapy in patients with CAP.  
Investigational product Nemonoxacin, capsules, has already been approved in Taiwan and 
China for treatment of CAP and the phase III clinical study of efficacy and safety of Nemonoxacin 
intravenous formulation is ongoing. At this time more than 1000 subjects were participated in 
various clinical studies of nemonoxacin, capsules or solution for infusion.  
Nemonoxacin has shown similar clinical and microbiological efficacies as compared with 
levofloxacin during clinical studies in patients with CAP (see Sections 3.3.2.2 and 3.3.2.3). 
Nemonoxacin was well tolerated and had acceptable safety profile either when administered by 
intravenous and oral routs. The majority of AEs reported during the studies were mild and transient. 
The risk to patients in this clinical study will be minimized by compliance with selection 
criteria. Taking into account available safety data for investigational medicinal products, both 
Levofloxacin and Nemonoxacin (e.g., possibility of QT prolongation, hypoglycemia, tendinitis and 
tendon rupture, etc.), these medicinal products will be avoided in patients with renal impairment, 
diabetes mellitus, QT prolongation, uncorrected hypokalemia, receiving class Ia or III 
antiarrhythmic agents, receiving corticosteroids, etc.  
Levofloxacin was shown to have photosensitization activity. Therefore, in order to prevent 
photosensitization in patients the Patient Information Leaflet provides precautions for study 
participants not to expose themselves unnecessarily to strong sunlight or to artificial ultra-violet 
rays. Although Nemonoxacin did not elicit cutaneous phototoxicity in preclinical studies and by 
now there is no clinical data suggested phototoxicity of the drug the aforementioned precautions will 
be taken by all participants (i.e., regardless of treatment group) because of double-blind design of 
the study and because of absence of certainty the drug has not such activity. 
In consideration of the foregoing assumptions the risk-benefit ratio for the participants is 
acceptable. 
This clinical study will be conducted in compliance with the Protocol, ICH GCP and all 
other applicable local regulatory requirements. 
3.5 
Dose, route, regimen and treatment period rationale 
Nemonoxacin, solution for infusion, and Nemonoxacin, capsules, will be administered at 
daily dose of 500 mg. The choice of the dose is based on the results of previous clinical trials 
(please, refer to Section 3.3.2). 
Tavanic® (levofloxacin), solution for infusion, is available in one dosage strength of 500 mg 
(100 ml). Tavanic® (levofloxacin), film coated tablets, is available in two dosage strengths of 250 
and 500 mg. The usual dose of Levofloxacin (either solution for infusion and tablets) for treatment 
of community-acquired pneumonia is 500 mg administered once or twice a day for 7-14 days, as 
indicated in product label [26][27]. In this clinical study the daily dose of Tavanic® (levofloxacin) 
was chosen to be 500 mg because this daily dose was approved for the treatment of CAP in the 
countries where this clinical study will be carried out. 
Therapy of the patients will start with intravenous infusions and after 3-7 days patients will 
be switched to oral treatment. In accordance with Russian recommendations for management of

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
CAP taking into consideration that hospitalized patients usually tend to have more severe course of 
CAP it is reasonable to start treatment with parenteral antibiotics and to switch to oral treatment 
after the normalization of temperature and abatement of the symptoms [1]. Switch from intravenous 
to oral antibiotics is generally considered appropriate and safe in clinical practice when criteria 
indicative of clinical stability of disease are met. In the CAPRIE study the majority of patients were 
switched to oral therapy on day 3-4 after the start of treatment with levofloxacin [3]. In another 
study the median time to actual switch to oral therapy was 5 days (range from 2 to 7 days) for 
levofloxacin-treated patients and the total duration of study therapy was 7 to 14 days at the 
investigator’s discretion [16]. In general, as many as two-thirds of all patients with CAP have 
clinical improvement and meet criteria for a therapy switch in the first 3 days, and most non-
intensive care unit patients meet these criteria by day 7 [11]. Therefore, the switch to oral treatment 
was chosen to be Day 4-8 of the study, after 3-7 days of intravenous therapy.

antibiotic (Nemonoxacin or Tavanic®) solution. To maintain double-blinding during oral antibiotic 
therapy each Tavanic® tablet was placed into a capsule shell (over-encapsulated), that is identical in 
appearance to a Nemonoxacin-containing capsules; therefore, the patients will receive daily 
treatment with 2 capsules either containing nemonoxacin or levofloxacin (tablet of Tavanic®) (see 
Table 6-1).

Intravenous therapy will be administered once a day and will include two consequence 
infusions (antibiotic solution and placebo solution). Solution with volume of 250 ml will always be 
infused over 90-110 minutes and before the infusion of solution with volume of 100 ml that will be 
infused over at least 60 minutes. Intravenous therapy should be given for at least 3 days and may be 
prolonged by a decision of investigator up to 7 days. Then investigator will switch a patient from 
intravenous to oral therapy on Day 4(8) of the study if the specific criteria of clinical stability are 
achieved (please, refer to Appendix 2). However if the treatment with intravenous IMP should be 
prolonged after the 7 days of treatment are completed (according to the investigator’s opinion) the 
investigator should contact the study Medical Adviser (please, refer to Contact information) for the 
approval of intravenous treatment prolongation. 
In general since Day 4(8) of the study treatment will be continued with the same antibiotic 
administered orally. Patients will daily receive treatment either with 2 capsules of investigational 
drug (Nemonoxacin, 250 mg) or 2 over-encapsulated film coated tablets of Comparator (Tavanic® 
250 mg).  
The average duration of treatment (including intravenous and oral therapy) for each patient 
will be 7(14) days and during this period patients should stay at hospital. 
After completion of the treatment patients can be discharged from the hospital and should 
return for examinations at End of treatment visit (Visit 3) within 1-2 days after the last dose. Then 
the patients should attend the investigational site within 7-9 days after the last dose (test of cure 
visit). Then the investigator will contact the patients by phone within 21-23 days after the last dose 
(long-term follow-up visit). 
The study includes 5 visits. The detailed description of visits is presented in Section 9.2. 
A schematic diagram of the study design is presented in Figure 6-1.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
In all cases the reason of termination of participation in study must be recorded in 
eCRF. When the patient is withdrawn from the study, all efforts should be made to 
perform all procedures scheduled for the “early termination visit”: 
• if the “early termination visit” coincides in time with scheduled visit the 
procedures of that visit should be done (Section 9.2); 
• if the “early termination visit” coincides in time with unscheduled visit the 
minimum number of procedures should comply with the “End of treatment visit” 
(Section 9.2.3).  
All the patients withdrawn from the study will receive treatment in accordance 
with the standards adopted in the hospital.  
Withdrawn patients will not be replaced. 
8 TREATMENT 
8.1 
Treatments Administered 
Two investigation products, two comparators and 2 placebos will be used during 
the study. All the investigational medicinal products will be blinded (please refer to 
Section 8.6).  
In this trial the investigational products are Nemonoxacin 500 mg (250 ml), 
solution for infusion, and Nemonoxacin 250 mg, capsules. 
Nemonoxacin 500 mg (250 ml), solution for infusion, will be administered daily 
as single intravenous infusion over 90-110 minutes followed by infusion of Placebo (100 
ml), solution for infusion, over a minimum duration of 60 minutes to maintain the 
blinding. Daily dose of Nemonoxacin will be 500 mg (250 ml). Intravenous therapy will 
be given for at least 3 days and may be prolonged by a decision of investigator up to 7 
days. The possibility of further prolongation of intravenous treatment (for more than 7 
days) has to be discussed with the study Medical Adviser. The decision about switching 
to oral therapy should be based on assessment of patient’s condition using the criteria of 
clinical stability. 
After the switch to oral therapy on Day 4(8) of the study the patients who receive 
intravenous therapy with Nemonoxacin, solution for infusion, will receive therapy with 
Nemonoxacin, capsules. Please note that the first dose of oral drug will be administered 
on the same day when the “switch” is performed (e.g. the patient will receive the first 
dose of oral drug on Day 4 if the “switch” is performed at Day 4, etc.). 
Nemonoxacin 250 mg, capsules, will be administered at a dose of 500 mg once 
daily (two 250 mg capsules). The duration of oral therapy will be judged by investigator 
and oral therapy will last until and including Day 7(14) of the study. 
Tavanic® 500 mg (100 ml), solution for infusion, and Tavanic® 250 mg, over-
encapsulated for the blinding purpose film coated tablets, will be used as the comparators 
in this study. 
Tavanic® 500 mg (100 ml), solution for infusion, will be administered daily as 
single intravenous infusion over a minimum duration of 60 minutes. Daily dose will be 
500 mg (100 ml). To maintain double-blinding before the infusion patients in this group 
will receive Placebo (250 ml), solution for infusion, over 90-110 minutes. Intravenous

therapy will be given for at least 3 days and may be prolonged by a decision of 
investigator up to 7 days. Further prolongation of intravenous treatment (for more than 7 
days) has to be discussed with the study Medical Adviser. The decision about switching 
to oral therapy should be based on assessment of patient’s condition using the criteria of 
clinical stability. 
After the switch to oral therapy on Day 4(8) of the study the patients who receive 
intravenous therapy with Tavanic®, solution for infusion, will receive therapy with 
Tavanic®, over-encapsulated film coated tablets. Please note that the first dose of oral 
drug will be administered on the same day when the “switch” is performed (e.g. the 
patient will receive the first dose of oral drug on Day 4 if the “switch” is performed at 
Day 4, etc.). 
Tavanic® 250 mg, over-encapsulated film coated tablets, will be administered at a 
dose of 500 mg once daily (two capsules each containing 250 mg film coated tablet). The 
duration of oral therapy will be judged by investigator and oral therapy will last until and 
including Day 7(14) of the study.

All containers of the IMPs, both used and unused, must be saved for a monitoring 
by unblinded CRA and possible audit by an assigned Sponsor’s designee. 
8.5 
Method of Assigning Patients to Treatment Groups 
At Visit 1 (Day 1) to minimize or avoid bias randomization will be done. The 
study will utilize IWRS for randomization of the eligible patients. In accordance with 
randomization number each patient will be assigned to one of two treatment groups at the 
ratio of 1:1 (see Table 6-1): 
• 
Investigational drug (Nemonoxacin) group 
• 
Comparator (Tavanic®) group. 
8.6 
Blinding 
This study has a double-blind and double-dummy design with 2 placebo 
formulations (see Section 8.2) needed for maintaining the blinding of intravenous 
treatment.  
Intravenous drug dispensing procedure 
Only the unblinded staff appointed by PI at each investigational site and an 
unblinded CRA will be aware of the intravenous treatment received by the patient. 
Neither the patients nor any of the principal investigators (PI)/ co-investigators/ other 
clinical staff (blinded staff), involved in the treatment of the patients, Sponsor and CRO 
(except an aforementioned unblinded CRA) will be aware of the intravenous treatment 
received by the patient. 
The unblinded staff will include person, appointed by PI from study site staff (e.g. 
a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist) at each investigational site. These unblinded person will 
be responsible for the supply of the drugs intravenous treatment for the certain patient.  
After enrollment and obtainment of the subject study number using the interactive 
web response system (IWRS) each eligible patient will be randomized. The PI or one of 
the unblinded persons appointed by PI will access the IWRS at Visit 1 and IWRS will 
randomize the patient and provide the medication identification number of the 
investigational drug to be dispensed. For details refer to the IWRS manual, please. 
Once the unblinded person receives the number, he/she will prepare the supply.  
Unblinded person will take the appropriate solutions according to the medication 
identification number.  
Nemonoxacin 500 mg (250 ml)/Placebo (250 ml), solutions 
The flexible bag with Nemonoxacin/Placebo (250 ml) solution will be packed in 
an opaque bag that will be sealed by a sticker to prevent breaking the code. Then, the 
opaque bag with flexible bag inside will be put into the special designed empty packing 
box with number “1” on the label. The label with randomization number will be stuck to 
the box. After that the unblinded person will insert a spike of infusion set into the 
administration port of the flexible bag with Nemonoxacin /Placebo (250 ml) solution and 
will prime the infusion set.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
Tavanic® 500 mg (100 ml)/Placebo (100 ml), solutions 
The unblinded person will peel off the outer aluminum band from the top of the 
glass bottle with Tavanic®/Placebo (100 ml) solution. The bottle will be packed in a 
carton with a hole on the bottom for the administration port of the bottle. The carton will 
be sealed by a sticker to avoid breaking the code. Then, the carton with glass bottle inside 
will be put into the special designed empty packing box with number “2” on the label. 
The label with randomization number will be stuck to the box. After that the unblinded 
person will insert a spike of infusion set into the administration port of the bottle with 
Tavanic®/Placebo (100 ml) solution and will prime the infusion set. 
Then, a person from blinded staff will take the supply, dose the patient, and return 
the supply after the dosing to the unblinded staff. 
Oral drug dispensing procedure 
Neither the patients nor any of the principal investigators (PI)/ co-investigators/ 
other clinical staff (blinded staff), involved in the treatment of the patients, Sponsor and 
CRO will be aware of the oral treatment received by the patient. 
Since Day 4(8) of the study (switch from i.v. to oral therapy) the patients will 
receive the blinded capsules of oral drugs according to the medication identification 
number. Each patient will receive daily treatment with 2 capsules containing either 
Nemonoxacin (Nemonoxacin 250 mg capsules) or Levofloxacin (Tavanic® 250 mg, film 
coated tablets). 
 
The randomization number will only be broken for an individual patient in an 
emergency such as an SAE that requires knowledge of which IMP was taken so that the 
SAE can be treated appropriately. In the event of SAE, if possible, the investigator should 
contact the medical adviser before the investigational drug blind will be broken to discuss 
the need for unblinding. If the randomization number for a patient is broken, the 
investigator must withdraw the patient from the study. 
8.7 
Prior and Concomitant therapy 
For patients with treatment failure who have received antibiotics for less than 72 
hours the information on therapy should be obtained and recorded in the eCRF (i.e., the 
trade name, INN/name of active ingredients, dosage, date of start, termination date). 
The information on prior/concomitant drugs (the trade name, INN/name of active 
ingredients, dosage or change of dosage, indication, frequency of intake, prescription 
method, date of start, termination date) which the patient took before and takes during the 
study, should be registered in the corresponding section of the eCRF. All subsequent 
changes of concomitant therapy during the study should also be reflected in the eCRF. It 
will document information on previous drugs and treatments used from the onset of 
community-acquired pneumonia until the enrollment in the study (signing of the 
Informed Consent Form).  
If there are any questions regarding concomitant therapy, the study Medical 
Adviser (see CONTACT information) should be contacted.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
An investigator should record the data in the source medical documents and in the 
eCRF. It is obligatory for an investigator to write down the following information: date of 
the visit, reason, the results of examinations and additional measures which were carried 
out during the visit. 
The next visit after the unscheduled visit is carried out according to the earlier 
scheduled visit date in conformity with the protocol.  
If the Investigator makes a decision to withdraw a subject from the study during 
an unscheduled visit (a so-called “early termination visit”), the minimal number of 
completed procedures should correspond to that of the “End of treatment visit”. For more 
information on discontinuation of therapy and early withdrawal of subjects from the 
study, see Section Ошибка! Источник ссылки не найден..  
  
10 ASSESSMENTS 
10.1 Initial assessments 
10.1.1 Demographic data and other baseline characteristics 
Demographic information such as date of birth, sex and race will be collected 
before treatment initiation on Day 1 of the study (at Visit 1, screening procedures) and 
then will be recorded in the eCRF. 
Height and weight will be measured and alcohol use status and smoking status 
will be obtained and recorded in the eCRF on Day 1 of the study (at Visit 1, screening 
procedures) before treatment as well. Height will be used for calculation of body mass 
index (BMI). 
10.1.2 Medical history 
A medical history about all current medical conditions, any significant past 
conditions, operations, and therapeutic or diagnostic procedures will be obtained by the 
investigator or sub-investigator and recorded before treatment initiation on Day 1 of the 
study (at Visit 1, screening procedures). 
10.1.3 Pregnancy test 
Pregnancy test (urine dip-strip pregnancy test) will be performed before treatment 
initiation on Day 1 of the study (at Visit 1, screening procedures) only in women of 
childbearing potential (see definition in Section 8.8). 
10.1.4 Pulse oximetry 
Pulse oximetry will be done to evaluate blood oxygen saturation (SaO2) before 
treatment initiation on Day 1 of the study (at Visit 1, screening procedures), before 
dosing on Day 4(8) of the study (at Visit 2), within 1-2 days (Visit 3) and 7-9 days (Visit

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
10.2 Assessment of efficacy 
10.2.1 Chest X-ray / Chest Computed Tomography 
X-ray examination or computed tomography (CT) will be performed before 
treatment initiation on Day 1 (at Visit 1, screening procedures). However, the results of 
X-ray examination or CT performed within 72 hours before enrollment are acceptable.  
Then X-ray examination or CT will be performed within 7-9 days after the last 
dose (at Visit 4).  
Only one radiological method (X-ray imaging only or CT imaging only for all 
visits) should be used for a patient throughout the study.  
Chest x-ray images/CT scans will be evaluated by radiologist. Radiologist’s 
conclusion will be fixed in the source documentation.  
At Visit 4 the investigator will categorize the results to one of the following 
categories and will document it in the eCRF: 
1. Cured – if there is not any manifestation of pneumonia according to the chest x-ray 
images /chest CT scans. 
2. Improved – if the chest x-ray /chest CT results are less serious relative to the 
baseline results (at Visit 1 or within 72 hours before enrollment). 
3. Unchanged – if there is no change in the chest x-ray /chest CT results relative to the 
Visit 1 (Day 1). 
4. Worsening – if the chest x-ray /chest CT results are worsening (more serious) 
relative to the baseline results (at Visit 1 or within 72 hours before enrollment). 
10.2.2 Clinical response assessment 
The investigator will evaluate clinical response to treatment on Day 4(8) of the 
study (at Visit 2, switch from intravenous to oral therapy), within 1-2 days (Visit 3, end 
of treatment) and within 7-9 days (Visit 4, test of cure) after the last dose. Criteria for 
evaluation of clinical response to the therapy are presented in Table 10-1. 
Table 10-1 Criteria for evaluation of clinical response 
Category
Criteria

purulent sputum, and respiratory insufficiency) or improved with 
no worsening or appearance of new signs and symptoms of 
pneumonia. 
• There is no requirement for additional antibiotic therapy. 
• Chest roentgenograms (CT scans) are cured or improved (only for 
TOC visit). 
Clinical failure
• Persistence or worsening in signs and symptoms of the acute 
process with either failure to show improvement in the clinical 
findings, initial improvement in signs and symptoms followed by 
clinically significant worsening before the assessment. 
• Additional antimicrobial therapy required.

Page 54 of 88 
Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
• Progression (worsening) of chest roentgenogram (CT scans) 
abnormalities or unchanged chest roentgenogram features (only for 
TOC visit). 
• Death because of pneumonia.
Indeterminate
• No evaluation possible: the patient was lost to follow-up, or died 
because of noninfectious-related reasons or infection other than 
pneumonia (as judged by the investigator). 
10.2.3 Bacteriological study 
Sputum sample for the culture (bacteriological) study for isolation of pathogens 
will be collected before the initiation of therapy on Day 1 of the study (at Visit 1, during 
screening procedures) and before the first oral dose of IMP on Day 4(8) of the study 
(Visit 2, switch to oral therapy), within 1-2 days (Visit 3) and within 7-9 days (Visit 4) 
after the last dose. This procedure will be performed only if it will be necessary and 
possible (according to the judgment of the investigator) to collect the sputum from patient 
(deep expectorated / broncho-alveolar lavage, etc.).  
Blood sample collection for bacteriological study will be done before the 
initiation of the therapy on Day 1 (at Visit 1, screening procedures) and before dosing on 
Day 4(8) of the study (at Visit 2, switch to oral therapy), within 1-2 days (Visit 3) and 
within 7-9 days (Visit 4) after the last dose. However blood sampling at Visit 2, 3 and 4 
should not be conducted if no bacterial growth has been detected by blood cultures of 
samples withdrawn at Visit 1. 
The results of bacteriological study will be documented in eCRF. 
Causative pathogens of CAP listed below will be determined in sputum/blood 
samples: 
• S. pneumoniae 
• H. influenzae 
• S. aureus 
• K. pneumoniae 
• P. aeruginosa 
• Other. 
Bacteriological study will be performed in the local laboratory of investigational 
site. After isolation of pathogens culture from some previously defined laboratories can 
be sent to a central laboratory for additional investigations by a decision of the Sponsor. 
Detailed information about central laboratory, conditions of culture transportation are 
provided in appropriate Manual. The Sponsor will use these isolates to perform additional 
culture (bacteriological) studies, including drug sensitivity test, etc.. 
10.2.4 Infection relapse assessment 
Within 21-23 days after the last dose (Visit 5) the investigator will ask the patient 
whether he/she has any signs/symptoms of community-acquired pneumonia. In some 
cases the investigator may invite the patient to visit the clinic for the additional 
examinations: 
• Physical examination

enrollment (Signing of the Informed Consent Form) if he / she considers that available 
data are sufficient to permit a decision on whether the subject meets the selection criteria. 
In this case, another urine sampling procedure has to be conducted in the period from the 
signing of the Informed Consent Form to the start of treatment in order to evaluate all 
other urinalysis parameters that have to be determined on Day 1 in accordance with the 
study protocol.    
All clinically significant abnormal changes in urinalysis parameters from the 
baseline results must be reported as AEs in the eCRF.  
10.3.7 Documentation of adverse events 
The Investigator will assess and record in the source documentation and the eCRF 
any non-serious AEs occurring at each visit from the moment of first IMP administration 
on Day 1 of Visit 1 until the last procedure at Visit 5. SAEs will be evaluated and 
recorded in the eCRF from the moment of signing of informed consent on Day 1 of Visit 
1 until the last procedure at Visit 5. 
All AEs/SAEs observed or reported by the patients will be documented regardless 
of whether it is related to the investigational product (see Section 11.2). 
10.4 Drug Concentration Measurements for Assessment of 
Pharmacokinetic Parameters 
Blood sample collection for pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be withdrawn 
on Day 1 and 2 of Visit 1 before and after the first infusion only in 40 first patients 
enrolled in the investigational sites defined by the Sponsor. Blood collection will be 
performed via venous catheter which will be inserted into peripheral vein in the arm. 
Infusions of IMPs should be performed via another peripheral vein during all period of 
blood collection for PK parameters. 
The schedule for blood sample collection for the PK is as follows: pre-dose, 0 h, 
0.5 h (±3min), 2.5h (±5min), 4h (±5min), 6h (±10min), 12h (±15min), 16h (±15min) and 
22.5h (±15min) after the end of first infusion (see Figure 10-1). The last blood sampling 
for PK (22.5h after the end of the first infusion) should be conducted just prior to the IMP 
infusion on study Day 2.

information are provided in the appropriate Manual. 
11 ADVERSE EVENTS (AE) AND SERIOUS ADVERSE 
EVENTS (SAE) 
11.1 Definitions 
11.1.1 Adverse Event (AE) 
Any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial subject 
administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with this treatment.  
An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding which are considered to be clinically significant), symptom, 
or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not 
considered related to the medicinal product.  
Any worsening of symptoms of the primary disease (as compared with estimates 
made during the screening procedures) should also be registered as an AE.  
11.1.2 Drug Relationship 
The relationship between an AE and study drugs will be judged according the 
following categories: 
1- “Certain”: the AE occurs in a plausible time relation to the administration of the 
drug and cannot be explained by a concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals. 
The response to withdrawal of the drug (dechallenge) should be clinically plausible. 
The event must be definitive pharmacologically or phenomenologically, using a 
satisfactory rechallenge procedure if necessary. 
2- “Probable”: the AE occurs in a reasonable time relation to the administration of the 
drug, it is unlikely to be attributed to a concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals 
and it follows a clinically reasonable response on withdrawal (dechallenge). 
Rechallenge information (AE reappearance after drug reintroduction) is not required 
to fulfil this definition. 
3- “Possible”: the AE occurs with a reasonable time relation to the administration of 
the drug, but it could also be explained by a concurrent disease or other drugs or 
chemicals. Information on drug withdrawal (dechallenge) may be lacking or unclear. 
4- “Unassessable”: The relationship cannot be judged, because of the information is 
insufficient or contradictory and cannot be supplemented or verified.

CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 60 of 88 
Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
5- “Unlikely“: a causal relationship cannot be definitively ruled out, but 
- 
other drugs, chemicals or underlying disease provide plausible explanations 
and/or 
- 
the temporal relation to the administration of the drug makes a causal relation 
improbable. 
6- “Not Related“: Any of the following are present: 
- 
existence of a clear alternative explanation, and/or 
- 
unreasonable temporal relationship between Drug and Event, and/or 
- 
non-plausibility 
11.1.3 Adverse Drug Reactions 
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are all untoward and unintended responses to an 
investigational medicinal product related to any dose administered. 
The definition implies a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship between 
the event and the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP). This means that there are 
facts (evidence) or arguments to suggest a causal relationship. 
11.1.4 Seriousness 
An AE/ADR is considered Serious when: 
• results in death; 
• is life-threatening; 
Note: Life-threatening is considered any AE in which the subject was at risk of 
death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might 
have caused death if it were more severe. 
• requires 
inpatient 
hospitalisation 
or 
prolongation 
of 
existing 
hospitalisation; 
• results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; 
• is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in children born to parents who were 
exposed to the drug; 
• is another medically important condition that may jeopardise the patient 
or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. Any 
suspected transmission of an infectious agent via a medicinal product is considered 
serious and should be assessed under the category of medically important events in 
the absence of other seriousness criteria. 
An AE/ADR is considered Non-serious when: 
it does not fulfil the conditions for the definition of Serious AE/ADR. 
11.1.5 Adverse Event (AE) / Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) severity 
The severity level of a Serious or a Non-serious AE or ADR is attributed 
according the below definitions. 
• 
Mild: does not interfere with routine activities; in case of laboratory tests, 
when there is a mild abnormality. 
• 
Moderate: interferes with the routine activities; in case of laboratory tests, 
when there is a moderate abnormality. 
• 
Severe: makes impossible to perform routine activities; in case of 
laboratory tests, when there is a significant abnormality.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
If the patient experiences changes in severity of an AE, the event should be 
captured once with the maximum severity recorded. 
11.1.6 Adverse Event (AE) / Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) expectedness 
An AE/ADR is considered Unexpected when the nature, severity or outcome of 
the AE / ADR is not consistent with the information provided the Instructions for 
Medical Use (for marketed product) or the IB (for investigational product). 
11.1.7 Suspected Unexpected Adverse Drug Reaction (SUSAR) 
Any serious unexpected adverse event judged by the Investigator or the Sponsor 
as drug-related qualifies as suspected unexpected serious ADR (SUSAR). SUSARs are 
subjected to expedited reporting as specified in Section 11.3.2. Reporting duties of the 
Sponsor. 
11.2 Monitoring and Recording of Adverse Events 
At each visit during the study period the Investigator will assess and record in the 
eCRF any subjective or objective: 
• AEs occurred after the first IMP administration on Day 1 of Visit 1 and up to 
the moment of last procedure at Visit 5  
• SAEs occurred after the obtainment of the informed consent (after the signing 
of ICF) on Day 1 of Visit 1 and up to the moment of last procedure at Visit 5. 
AEs communicated by the patient or by the patient’s relatives or delegates 
through phone calls, letters or E-mails will also be recorded. In these cases the 
Investigator will try to obtain medical confirmation and assessment of the occurred AE. 
When an AE has occurred the Investigator will record on the respective electronic 
Case Report Form Adverse Event (eCRF-AE) recording pages any case, Serious and 
Non-Serious, whether or not thought to be drug-related, observed in or reported by the 
patient (or relatives/delegates), specifying the judgement on the causal relationship with 
the study treatment. 
Any available information and diagnostic measure (laboratory and instrumental 
tests, procedures etc.), will be recorded in the eCRF. 
 
The Investigator is expected to follow-up any AEs occurred during the Study until 
the resolution of the event or permanent outcome has been determined. 
11.3 Management of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) 
11.3.1 Reporting duties of the Investigator  
The Investigator must report any Serious AE (whether or not thought to be related 
to the investigational drug) sending the SAE form no later than 24 hours after 
knowledge of the event by the following e-mail or by fax number (if e-mail is not 
available): 
 
24 h SAE reporting

Fax number: +7 (812) 449 86 35 (information should be marked “To the drug safety 
department”) 
 
 
When relevant, also the eCRF pages concerning medical history, concomitant 
medication, laboratory test should be filled. 
Any further information and supporting documentation that become available 
(blinded copies of laboratory reports, tests, procedures, autopsy evidence of the cause of 
death, etc.) will be provided by the Investigator through additional written reports to the 
CRO and afterwards forwarded to the Sponsor.  
The CRO will inform investigators about all suspected unexpected serious 
adverse reactions.  
11.3.2 Reporting duties of the Sponsor 
The Sponsor will ensure that all relevant information about any suspected 
unexpected serious adverse drug reaction (SUSAR), will be expeditiously reported to the 
competent Authorities, with these deadlines after the first knowledge (the day when the 
Sponsor receives the notification of the SUSAR): 
• fatal and life threatening cases, no later than 7 days; 
• other serious cases, no later than 15 days. 
The Sponsor will ensure that all relevant information and supporting 
documentation that subsequently become available, will be also expeditiously reported as 
follow up information according to the above mentioned deadlines. 
The following safety issues will be subjected to expedited management for the 
identification of possible adequate actions: 
• SAEs associated with the trial procedures. 
11.4 Management of adverse events not classified as serious  
The Investigator will record all the available information on each occurring AE in 
the source documentation and the eCRF. 
11.5 Pregnancy 
All pregnancies detected in the course of the study (including pregnancies of sex 
partners of male study participants) should be registered in an appropriate manner. The 
investigator must promptly notify CRO project manager or CRA and the Sponsor using a 
pregnancy notification form. 
If any female patient is found to be pregnant during the study, she should be 
withdrawn.  
All reported pregnancies will be followed up to final outcome, using the 
pregnancy form. The outcome, including any premature termination, must be reported to 
the Sponsor. 
Pregnancy per se is not an AE, except for the cases when the use of IMPs was

suspected to reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Congenital anomalies and 
birth defects in children are SAEs. Abortions carried out for medical reasons, as well as 
any serious complications during pregnancy (including spontaneous abortion) should be 
also reported as SAEs. 
12 STATISTICAL METHODS 
12.1 Analysis populations 
The following populations will be identified for the statistical analyses: 
• Randomized Population (RP): All subjects who were screened and 
randomized 
• Intent-to-Treat Population (ITT): All subjects in the RT population who 
received at least one complete dose of the drug (Nemonoxacin or Tavanic®) 
• Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT): Subjects in the ITT population who met 
the minimal disease criteria (inclusion criteria 3 and 4), and was evaluated 
for clinical efficacy at least once 
• Clinically Evaluable (CE): Per-Protocol subjects in the mITT population (i.e. 
patients without protocol violations and without a clinical response of 
“Indeterminate” in the mITT population) 
• Bacteriological mITT (b-mITT): Subjects in the mITT population whose 
bacterial culture yielded at least one baseline bacterial isolate 
• Bacteriologically Evaluable (BE): patients in the CE population who had at 
least one baseline bacterial isolate 
• Safety Population (SP): All subjects who received at least one complete dose 
of the study drug (Nemonoxacin or Tavanic®) and underwent at least one 
safety evaluation would be included in this data population for safety 
analysis 
• Pharmacokinetic population (PK-C): All subjects who were included in PK 
study and who had at least 1 measured concentration value. 
12.2 Exclusion of Patients from Analysis 
The investigator should not implement any deviation, except where necessary to 
eliminate an immediate hazard to the patient. 
Data obtained from patients with protocol violations/deviations will be included 
into the efficacy analysis of the modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) and bacteriological 
mITT (b-mITT) populations and the safety analysis (safety population, SP) (see Section 
12.1). Data obtained from patients with protocol violations and major deviation will not 
be included into the efficacy analysis of the clinically evaluable (CE) and 
bacteriologically evaluable (BE) populations (see Section 12.1); however, data obtained 
from patients with minor deviations may be included into the efficacy analysis of the CE 
and BE population.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
Any protocol deviations should be documented in the eCRF.  
A protocol deviation is any change, divergence, or departure from the study 
design or procedures of a protocol that is under the investigator’s control and that has not 
been approved by the IEC. Protocol deviations do not interfere with or may not influence 
significantly the trustworthiness of the obtained data and the results of the clinical study. 
There are major and minor protocol deviations. Major protocol deviations may lead to 
quality depreciation of the data for the following analysis (e.g., intake of prohibited 
medication, skipping TOC visit, etc.). Minor protocol deviations may decrease the data 
quality, but it is possible to include them in the analysis in CE and BE population (e.g., 
partial performance of some study procedures, etc.). 
A protocol violation is a deviation from the IEC approved protocol that may affect 
the subject's rights, safety, or well-being and/or the completeness, accuracy and reliability 
of the study data. The protocol deviation should be referred to violation in the following 
cases: 
• 
enrollment of patients not eligible according to the inclusion/exclusion 
criteria,  
• 
enrollment of patients after the Sponsor’s announcement about the enrollment 
termination,  
• 
Poor compliance:  
 
Patient took IMPs <80% or >120% predefined total dose (any 
incomplete intravenous infusion regimen will be recorded as 
missing 1 dose of drug), or  
 
The patient took IMPs <7 days 
• 
Patients who received the treatment different from the one they were 
randomized to, 
• 
Other deviations that might affect the primary outcome assessment. 
12.3 Criteria for termination of the study 
Not applicable. There are no statistical criteria for termination of the study. 
12.4 General considerations 
Demographic and clinical characteristics at baseline, medical history, efficacy and 
safety data will be summarized using descriptive statistics by treatment group and by 
time point of assessment. 
Continuous data will be summarized in terms of the mean, standard deviation 
(SD), median, 25th and 75th percentile, minimum, maximum and number of observations. 
In general, categorical and ordinal data will be summarized in terms of the frequency and 
percentage in each category.  
Using explorative methods, both treatment groups will be analysed for 
homogeneity on the basis of patient’s baseline characteristics. Analysis of variance 
(ANOVA) or Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, as appropriate, will be used to test and 
compare the continuous demographic and baseline characteristics between treatment

groups. The Pearson χ2 (or Fisher’s exact test) will be used to perform between-group 
comparisons on categorical and binominal demographic and baseline data. 
Medical history will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory 
Activities (MedDRA) version 17.1. The prior and concomitant medication will be coded 
using World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary (version 2013-12-19), 
including ATC code. 
For the primary efficacy endpoint, the non-inferiority hypothesis will be tested at 
one-sided 0.05 significance level. For other statistical analyses statistical significance will 
be declared at the 2-sided 0.05-level, unless otherwise specified. 
12.5 Procedure for accounting for missing, unused, and spurious 
data 
Procedure for accounting for missing, unused, and spurious data will be described 
in Statistical Analysis Plan. 
12.6 Efficacy evaluation 
12.6.1 Efficacy endpoints 
Primary endpoint: 
• Proportion of patients with clinical success as judged by the investigator at the 
test of cure visit (Visit 4). 
Secondary endpoints: 
• Proportion of patients with clinical success as judged by the investigator at the 
Visit 2 (switch to oral therapy) and Visit 3  
• Proportion of patients with infection relapse at Visit 5 
• Time to switch therapy from i.v. to oral therapy 
• Need for other antibiotic treatment 
• Proportion of patients with microbiological responses at the Visit 2 (switch to oral 
therapy), Visit 3 and Visit 4. 
12.6.2 Primary efficacy analysis 
The percentage and the number of patients with different categories of clinical 
response (“clinical success”, “clinical failure”, “indeterminate”) will be summarized by 
treatment group in mITT and CE populations for Visit 2 (switch to oral therapy), Visit 3 
and Visit 4. 
The percentage of patients with clinical success (as judged by the investigator) at 
the test of cure Visit 4 is defined as primary endpoint variable. 
In regards to efficacy for CAP, non-inferiority of Nemonoxacin compared to 
Tavanic® will be evaluated for clinical response by using a one-sided 95% confidence 
interval for the difference in the primary efficacy endpoint (investigational drug minus 
comparator). Non-inferiority of Nemonoxacin will be stated if the lower boundary of the 
estimated one-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference in the clinical success rate 
of Nemonoxacin and Tavanic®  is above -15% the Farrington-Manning test.

The primary analysis will be performed in the mITT population. 
If non-inferiority is shown, a test on superiority will be performed in addition 
using the two-sided 95% confidence interval. The test on superiority is significant, if the 
lower two-sided 95% confidence interval limit is above “0”. 
12.6.3 Secondary efficacy analyses 
As a supportive analysis, the primary efficacy endpoint will be analyzed in the CE 
population using the same method as that used for the primary efficacy analysis. 
For secondary efficacy analyses, the clinical success rates of the patients in the 
mITT and CE populations at Visit 2 (switch to oral therapy) and Visit 3 as well as the 
number (proportion) of patients who needed other antibiotic treatment (treatment failure) 
will be analyzed using a two-sided 95% confidence interval (equality test) calculated 
based on the same statistical test as for the primary analysis. 
Additionally, the results of statistical comparison of the clinical success rates 
using the logistic regression will also be provided.  
Time to switch therapy from i.v. to oral therapy will be evaluated using the 
Kaplan – Meier survival analysis method and compared by log-rank test between 
treatment groups. The Kaplan-Meier curves will be presented graphically. 
Microbiological efficacy endpoints will include microbiological success rates 
evaluated per each patient and by identified pathogens in b-mITT and BE. 
The percentage and the number of patients with microbiological success and 
failure will be summarized by visit and treatment group. Microbiological success is 
defined as the assessments of eradication and presumed eradication. Other results of 
assessments (excluding unevaluable) will be regarded as microbiological failure. The 
difference between microbiological success rates and its CI will be calculated using the 
same method as that used for the secondary efficacy endpoints. 
The percentage and number of the baseline-identified strains (sputum and blood 
culture) with microbiological success and failure will be summarized by visit and 
treatment group. The frequency of each category and sample source (sputum and blood 
culture) will be presented separately and by treatment group. Microbiological data by 
identified pathogens will be analyzed descriptively. 
 
Microbiological efficacy evaluation 
Based on the results of culture (bacteriological) study the microbiological 
response will be assessed. Microbiological response is defined as: 
1. Eradication (admission pathogen[s] is absent),  
2. Presumed eradication (if no material available for culture because of clinical 
success) 
3. Рersistence (admission pathogen[s] is present),  
4. Presumed persistence (no material available for culture for patients with clinical 
failure), 
5. Unevaluable (assessment is not possible because the patient was lost to follow-up 
after the treatment or posttherapy culture was not obtained).

6. Superinfection is defined as the appearance of a new pathogen in patients with 
clinical failure.  
The eradicated and presumed eradicated microbiological responses will be 
combined and classified as microbiological success. Other results of assessments 
(excluding unevaluable) will be regarded as microbiological failure. 
12.7 Safety evaluation 
Safety evaluation will include assessment of AEs, vital signs, ECG, physical 
examination data and laboratory assessment in the safety population. All safety statistical 
analyses will be performed descriptively. 
AEs/ADRs/SAEs will be analyzed descriptively, the evaluation of adverse events 
will comprise various frequency tabulations by system organ class and preferred term 
coded according to MedDRA. The AEs will be will be tabulated for each treatment group 
separately on a patient basis (counting each preferred term once per patient). Descriptive 
statistics will be also tabulated by relation to study drugs and severity by treatment group. 
The tables for AEs will present the number of patients with an event within each 
preferred term as a percentage of the number of treated patients. The number of events 
within each preferred term will also be reported. For each patient and each adverse event, 
the worst severity category recorded will be used in the by-severity summaries. The worst 
causality category (most related to treatment) will be used in the by-causality summaries. 
Blood count, biochemistry and urinalysis data as well as change from baseline in 
laboratory data will be tabulated descriptively by treatment group and by visit. Frequency 
tables of laboratory shifts with respect to the reference range will also be presented. 
Clinically relevant abnormalities will be listed individually. 
Vital signs data and change from baseline values will be summarized 
descriptively by treatment group and by visit. 
The baseline and postbaseline ECG as well as physical examination data will be 
summarized descriptively by visit and by treatment group. 
12.8 Pharmacokinetic parameters 
The non-compartment method will be used to analyze the Nemonoxacin 
concentration-time data after the first intravenous infusion in adult patients with CAP.  
The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be estimated from the measured 
concentrations: the peak drug concentration (Cmax), 22.5-h drug concentrations (C22.5h), 
areas under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 22.5 h, and 0 h to infinity (AUC0-22.5, 
AUC0-∞), total systemic clearance (CL), volume of distribution at steady state (Vss), and 
terminal elimination half-life (T1/2). 
Plasma concentrations will be plotted graphically versus time for all subjects on 
both linear and semilogarithmic scales. The mean profile will also be presented. The 
planned blood sampling times will be used for PK concentration summaries and plots. 
The actual sampling times will be recorded and used for determination of 
pharmacokinetic parameters. 
Descriptive summary will be provided for the plasma concentration-time data of 
each time point and for the calculated PK parameters.

12.9 Procedures for reporting any deviations from the original 
statistical plan. 
The statistical analysis will be performed under supervision of the responsible 
biostatistician. The statistical analysis will be described in detail in the statistical analysis 
plan in accordance with GCP requirements and other applicable requirements and laws. 
The statistical analysis plan will be finalized prior to the database close-out. All 
deviations from the original statistical analysis plan will be justified in the final clinical 
study report. 
12.10 Sample size calculation 
The primary efficacy objective is to show that Nemonoxacin is not inferior to 
Levofloxacin (Tavanic®) for the treatment of CAP, on the basis of the primary efficacy 
endpoint - clinical success at Visit 4 (Test of cure visit) in the mITT population. The 
sample size calculation for this endpoint is based on assuming a clinical success rate of 
82% in the treatment and in the active control group, and an eligibility of 80% of the 
randomized patients for mITT population. Non-inferiority margin is chosen to be 15% 
(i.e., δ= -15%), a one-sided significance level α is set at 5%. Then, to achieve power of 
80%, the sample size for equal allocation is estimated as 171 randomized patients in each 
group (342 patients totally) that provides about 137 patients in each group (274 patients 
totally) in the mITT population. 
Presumably screening of 382 patients will allow enrollment and randomization of 
342 patients.

APPENDIX 4: DECLARATION OF HELSINKI 
WMA DECLARATION OF HELSINKI 
 
Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects 
 
Adopted by the 18th WMA General Assembly, Helsinki, Finland, June 1964 
and amended by the: 
29th WMA General Assembly, Tokyo, Japan, October 1975 
35th WMA General Assembly, Venice, Italy, October 1983 
41st WMA General Assembly, Hong Kong, September 1989 
48th WMA General Assembly, Somerset West, Republic of South Africa, October 1996 
52nd WMA General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000  
53rd WMA General Assembly, Washington DC, USA, October 2002 (Note of 
Clarification added) 
55th WMA General Assembly, Tokyo, Japan, October 2004 (Note of Clarification added) 
59th WMA General Assembly, Seoul, Republic of Korea, October 2008 
64th WMA General Assembly, Fortaleza, Brazil, October 2013 
 
Preamble 
 
1.         The World Medical Association (WMA) has developed the Declaration of 
Helsinki as a statement of ethical principles for medical research involving human 
subjects, including research on identifiable human material and data. 
 
            The Declaration is intended to be read as a whole and each of its constituent 
paragraphs should be applied with consideration of all other relevant paragraphs. 
 
2.         Consistent with the mandate of the WMA, the Declaration is addressed primarily 
to physicians. The WMA encourages others who are involved in medical research 
involving human subjects to adopt these principles.  
 
General Principles 
 
3.         The Declaration of Geneva of the WMA binds the physician with the words, “The 
health of my patient will be my first consideration,” and the International Code of 
Medical Ethics declares that, “A physician shall act in the patient's best interest when 
providing medical care.” 
 
4.         It is the duty of the physician to promote and safeguard the health, well-being and 
rights of patients, including those who are involved in medical research. The physician's 
knowledge and conscience are dedicated to the fulfilment of this duty.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
5.         Medical progress is based on research that ultimately must include studies 
involving human subjects. 
 
6.         The primary purpose of medical research involving human subjects is to 
understand the causes, development and effects of diseases and improve preventive, 
diagnostic and therapeutic interventions (methods, procedures and treatments). Even the 
best proven interventions must be evaluated continually through research for their safety, 
effectiveness, efficiency, accessibility and quality. 
 
7.         Medical research is subject to ethical standards that promote and ensure respect 
for all human subjects and protect their health and rights. 
 
8.         While the primary purpose of medical research is to generate new knowledge, this 
goal can never take precedence over the rights and interests of individual research 
subjects. 
 
9.         It is the duty of physicians who are involved in medical research to protect the 
life, health, dignity, integrity, right to self-determination, privacy, and confidentiality of 
personal information of research subjects. The responsibility for the protection of 
research subjects must always rest with the physician or other health care professionals 
and never with the research subjects, even though they have given consent. 
 
10.       Physicians must consider the ethical, legal and regulatory norms and standards for 
research involving human subjects in their own countries as well as applicable 
international norms and standards. No national or international ethical, legal or regulatory 
requirement should reduce or eliminate any of the protections for research subjects set 
forth in this Declaration. 
 
11.       Medical research should be conducted in a manner that minimises possible harm 
to the environment. 
 
12.       Medical research involving human subjects must be conducted only by 
individuals with the appropriate ethics and scientific education, training and 
qualifications. Research on patients or healthy volunteers requires the supervision of a 
competent and appropriately qualified physician or other health care professional. 
 
13.       Groups that are underrepresented in medical research should be provided 
appropriate access to participation in research. 
 
14.       Physicians who combine medical research with medical care should involve their 
patients in research only to the extent that this is justified by its potential preventive, 
diagnostic or therapeutic value and if the physician has good reason to believe that 
participation in the research study will not adversely affect the health of the patients who 
serve as research subjects.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
15.       Appropriate compensation and treatment for subjects who are harmed as a result 
of participating in research must be ensured. 
 
Risks, Burdens and Benefits  
 
16.       In medical practice and in medical research, most interventions involve risks and 
burdens. 
 
           Medical research involving human subjects may only be conducted if the 
importance of the objective outweighs the risks and burdens to the research subjects. 
 
17.       All medical research involving human subjects must be preceded by careful 
assessment of predictable risks and burdens to the individuals and groups involved in the 
research in comparison with foreseeable benefits to them and to other individuals or 
groups affected by the condition under investigation. 
 
           Measures to minimise the risks must be implemented. The risks must be 
continuously monitored, assessed and documented by the researcher.  
 
18.       Physicians may not be involved in a research study involving human subjects 
unless they are confident that the risks have been adequately assessed and can be 
satisfactorily managed. 
 
           When the risks are found to outweigh the potential benefits or when there is 
conclusive proof of definitive outcomes, physicians must assess whether to continue, 
modify or immediately stop the study.            
 
Vulnerable Groups and Individuals 
 
19.       Some groups and individuals are particularly vulnerable and may have an 
increased likelihood of being wronged or of incurring additional harm. 
 
           All vulnerable groups and individuals should receive specifically considered 
protection. 
 
20.       Medical research with a vulnerable group is only justified if the research is 
responsive to the health needs or priorities of this group and the research cannot be 
carried out in a non-vulnerable group. In addition, this group should stand to benefit from 
the knowledge, practices or interventions that result from the research. 
 
Scientific Requirements and Research Protocols  
 
21.       Medical research involving human subjects must conform to generally accepted 
scientific principles, be based on a thorough knowledge of the scientific literature, other 
relevant sources of information, and adequate laboratory and, as appropriate, animal 
experimentation. The welfare of animals used for research must be respected.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
 
22.       The design and performance of each research study involving human subjects 
must be clearly described and justified in a research protocol. 
 
           The protocol should contain a statement of the ethical considerations involved and 
should indicate how the principles in this Declaration have been addressed. The protocol 
should include information regarding funding, sponsors, institutional affiliations, 
potential conflicts of interest, incentives for subjects and information regarding 
provisions for treating and/or compensating subjects who are harmed as a consequence of 
participation in the research study. 
 
           In clinical trials, the protocol must also describe appropriate arrangements for 
post-trial provisions. 
 
Research Ethics Committees 
 
23.       The research protocol must be submitted for consideration, comment, guidance 
and approval to the concerned research ethics committee before the study begins. This 
committee must be transparent in its functioning, must be independent of the researcher, 
the sponsor and any other undue influence and must be duly qualified. It must take into 
consideration the laws and regulations of the country or countries in which the research is 
to be performed as well as applicable international norms and standards but these must 
not be allowed to reduce or eliminate any of the protections for research subjects set forth 
in this Declaration.  
 
           The committee must have the right to monitor ongoing studies. The researcher 
must provide monitoring information to the committee, especially information about any 
serious adverse events. No amendment to the protocol may be made without 
consideration and approval by the committee. After the end of the study, the researchers 
must submit a final report to the committee containing a summary of the study’s findings 
and conclusions.  
 
Privacy and Confidentiality  
 
24.       Every precaution must be taken to protect the privacy of research subjects and the 
confidentiality of their personal information. 
 
Informed Consent  
 
25.       Participation by individuals capable of giving informed consent as subjects in 
medical research must be voluntary. Although it may be appropriate to consult family 
members or community leaders, no individual capable of giving informed consent may 
be enrolled in a research study unless he or she freely agrees. 
 
26.       In medical research involving human subjects capable of giving informed 
consent, each potential subject must be adequately informed of the aims, methods, 


R-Pharm JSC 
 
 
 
 
CJ01060044 Nemonoxacin 
 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
Page 86 of 88 
Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
sources of funding, any possible conflicts of interest, institutional affiliations of the 
researcher, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the study and the discomfort it 
may entail, post-study provisions and any other relevant aspects of the study. The 
potential subject must be informed of the right to refuse to participate in the study or to 
withdraw consent to participate at any time without reprisal. Special attention should be 
given to the specific information needs of individual potential subjects as well as to the 
methods used to deliver the information. 
 
           After ensuring that the potential subject has understood the information, the 
physician or another appropriately qualified individual must then seek the potential 
subject’s freely-given informed consent, preferably in writing. If the consent cannot be 
expressed in writing, the non-written consent must be formally documented and 
witnessed.       
 
           All medical research subjects should be given the option of being informed about 
the general outcome and results of the study. 
 
27.       When seeking informed consent for participation in a research study the physician 
must be particularly cautious if the potential subject is in a dependent relationship with 
the physician or may consent under duress. In such situations the informed consent must 
be sought by an appropriately qualified individual who is completely independent of this 
relationship. 
 
28.       For a potential research subject who is incapable of giving informed consent, the 
physician must seek informed consent from the legally authorised representative. These 
individuals must not be included in a research study that has no likelihood of benefit for 
them unless it is intended to promote the health of the group represented by the potential 
subject, the research cannot instead be performed with persons capable of providing 
informed consent, and the research entails only minimal risk and minimal burden. 
 
29.       When a potential research subject who is deemed incapable of giving informed 
consent is able to give assent to decisions about participation in research, the physician 
must seek that assent in addition to the consent of the legally authorised representative. 
The potential subject’s dissent should be respected. 
 
30.       Research involving subjects who are physically or mentally incapable of giving 
consent, for example, unconscious patients, may be done only if the physical or mental 
condition that prevents giving informed consent is a necessary characteristic of the 
research  group. In such circumstances the physician must seek informed consent from 
the legally authorised representative. If no such representative is available and if the 
research cannot be delayed, the study may proceed without informed consent provided 
that the specific reasons for involving subjects with a condition that renders them unable 
to give informed consent have been stated in the research protocol and the study has been 
approved by a research ethics committee. Consent to remain in the research must be 
obtained as soon as possible from the subject or a legally authorised representative.

Protocol CJ01060044, Final Version 5.0 dated 26-Apr-2017  
31.       The physician must fully inform the patient which aspects of their care are related 
to the research. The refusal of a patient to participate in a study or the patient’s decision 
to withdraw from the study must never adversely affect the patient-physician relationship. 
 
32.       For medical research using identifiable human material or data, such as research 
on material or data contained in biobanks or similar repositories, physicians must seek 
informed consent for its collection, storage and/or reuse. There may be exceptional 
situations where consent would be impossible or impracticable to obtain for such 
research. In such situations the research may be done only after consideration and 
approval of a research ethics committee. 
 
Use of Placebo 
 
33.       The benefits, risks, burdens and effectiveness of a new intervention must be tested 
against those of the best proven intervention(s), except in the following circumstances: 
 
           Where no proven intervention exists, the use of placebo, or no intervention, is 
acceptable; or 
 
           Where for compelling and scientifically sound methodological reasons the use of 
any intervention less effective than the best proven one, the use of placebo, or no 
intervention is necessary to determine the efficacy or safety of an intervention  
 
           and the patients who receive any intervention less effective than the best proven 
one, placebo, or no intervention will not be subject to additional risks of serious or 
irreversible harm as a result of not receiving the best proven intervention.  
 
           Extreme care must be taken to avoid abuse of this option. 
 
Post-Trial Provisions 
 
34.       In advance of a clinical trial, sponsors, researchers and host country governments 
should make provisions for post-trial access for all participants who still need an 
intervention identified as beneficial in the trial. This information must also be disclosed 
to participants during the informed consent process. 
 
Research Registration and Publication and Dissemination of Results 
 
35.       Every research study involving human subjects must be registered in a publicly 
accessible database before recruitment of the first subject. 
 
36.       Researchers, authors, sponsors, editors and publishers all have ethical obligations 
with regard to the publication and dissemination of the results of research. Researchers 
have a duty to make publicly available the results of their research on human subjects and 
are accountable for the completeness and accuracy of their reports. All parties should 
adhere to accepted guidelines for ethical reporting. Negative and inconclusive as well as

positive results must be published or otherwise made publicly available. Sources of 
funding, institutional affiliations and conflicts of interest must be declared in the 
publication. Reports of research not in accordance with the principles of this Declaration 
should not be accepted for publication. 
 
Unproven Interventions in Clinical Practice 
 
37.       In the treatment of an individual patient, where proven interventions do not exist 
or other known interventions have been ineffective, the physician, after seeking expert 
advice, with informed consent from the patient or a legally authorised representative, may 
use an unproven intervention if in the physician's judgement it offers hope of saving life, 
re-establishing health or alleviating suffering. This intervention should subsequently be 
made the object of research, designed to evaluate its safety and efficacy. In all cases, new 
information must be recorded and, where appropriate, made publicly available.
