Conditions: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Sponsor: Tris Pharma, Inc.
Start date: 2018-05-07; Completion date: 2018-05-23
Enrollment: 5 participants; Allocation: NA; Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP

Brief summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the plasma amphetamine concentration/time profile of amphetamine extended release oral suspension in children aged 4 to 5 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, following a single 2.5 mg dose of amphetamine extended release oral suspension.

Detailed description:
DYANAVEL® XR is an extended-release oral suspension that contains 2.5 mg/mL amphetamine base (amphetamine extended-release oral suspension; AMPH EROS). Drug-resin complexation is formed with the amphetamine and sodium polystyrene sulfonate, an ion exchange resin. The extended release feature of the product is achieved by coating a portion of the drug/resin complexes with an extended release coating. AMPH EROS contains approximately a 3.2:1 ratio of d-amphetamine compared to l-amphetamine.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the plasma amphetamine concentration/time profile of AMPH EROS in children aged 4 to 5 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, following a single 2.5 mg dose of AMPH EROS.

These data will guide appropriate dosing in planned safety and efficacy studies with AMPH EROS in a preschool population with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

SYNOPSIS  
Study Number: 
TRI102-PPK-300 (2970-1) 
Title 
A single-dose, open-label pharmacokinetic study of DYANAVEL XR 
(amphetamine) extended-release oral suspension, in children aged 4 to 5 
years with ADHD 
Study Center(s) 
Meridian Research, Inc.

Maitland, FL 32751 
Clinical Phase 
1 
Indication 
ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) 
Sample Size 
4 – 6 subjects 
Treatment 
Duration 
Screening can occur up to 6 weeks prior to dosing. A single dose of study 
medication will be administered on Day 1 and the final study procedures 
will take place on Day 2.   
Objectives 
The objective of this study is to evaluate the plasma amphetamine 
concentration/time profile of DYANAVEL XR in preschool children with 
ADHD following a single 1 mL (2.5 mg) dose of DYANAVEL XR. 
Methodology 
This is a Phase 1, open-label study in children with ADHD to investigate the 
pharmacokinetic profile of DYANAVEL XR over a 28 hour period following 
the administration of a single dose of 1 mL (2.5 mg) of DYANAVEL XR in 
children with ADHD. Up to 4 - 6 subjects are planned for enrollment, aged 4 to 
5 years of age at the time of signing of the Informed Consent.   
Subjects will be screened for participation in the study within 6 weeks prior to 
study drug administration.  Medical history, physical examination including 
height and weight, baseline laboratory testing, 12-lead electrocardiogram 
(ECG), vital sign measurements, a diagnostic assessment using the K-SADS-PL 
to confirm ADHD diagnostic criteria are met and informed consent will be 
completed during the screening visit. 
Subjects will be confined from the day of dosing to at least approximately 13 
hours after dosing. Each subject will receive a dose of 1 mL (2.5 mg) of 
DYANAVEL XR, administered by the site study staff at Time 0 (Day 1).  For 
pharmacokinetic analyses of d- and l-amphetamine, 9 blood samples will be 
collected in total from each subject. Samples will be collected at pre-dose Day 1 
(Time 0 to -2 hrs.), and at 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 28 hours after dose 
administration. Time after dosing will begin when DYANAVEL XR is 
administered to the subject. The subjects may then be released to their parents/ 
guardians with instructions to return to the study center for the final 28 hour 
(+/- 2 hours) sample; or they may remain at the study site for the duration of the

INTRODUCTION 
Amphetamine has been a well-established therapeutic agent for the treatment of Attention 
Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) for decades.  Since the original amphetamine approval, various 
dosage forms have been approved for use: 
 Immediate release (IR) dosage forms, oral solution and tablets.  
 extended release (ER) dosage forms, capsules, and tablets with various release 
technologies 
DYANAVEL XR is an extended-release oral suspension that contains 2.5 mg/mL amphetamine 
base.  Drug-resin complexation is formed with the amphetamine and Sodium Polystyrene 
Sulfonate USP, an ion exchange resin. The extended release feature of the product is achieved by 
coating some drug/resin complexes with an extended-release coating. DYANAVEL XR contains 
approximately a 3.2:1 ratio of d-amphetamine compared to l-amphetamine. 
The efficacy of DYANAVEL XR in the treatment of ADHD in children ages 6-12 has been 
established in a Phase 3 placebo-controlled laboratory classroom study: TRI102-ADD-001. 
ADHD symptoms in children on an individually optimized dose of amphetamine (range 10-20 
mg/day) were significantly lower compared to symptoms experienced by children treated with 
placebo. Symptom control was demonstrated 1 hour after dosing and efficacy was observed 
through 13 hours beyond dosing. The effect size in this study was in line with effect sizes 
demonstrated for other psychostimulants tested in a similar study design. The adverse events in 
this study were expected for amphetamine treatment with respect for type frequency and severity 
of adverse event. 
Study TRI102-PPK-200 was conducted in children ages 6 to 12 years old with ADHD to 
evaluate the single-dose (10 mg) pharmacokinetics of orally administered DYANAVEL XR. 
Following a single 10 mg oral dose of DYANAVEL XR in 12 pediatric subjects under fasting 
conditions, d-amphetamine and l-amphetamine peak plasma concentrations occurred at a median 
time of 3.9 and 4.5 hours after dosing, respectively. The mean plasma terminal elimination half-
life of d-amphetamine was 10.43 (± 2.01 h) hours and the mean plasma terminal half-life for l-
amphetamine was 12.14 (± 3.15 h) hours. 
 
Study 2014-3401 was conducted in 29 healthy adult subjects in a crossover study under fasting 
conditions, following a single, 18.8 mg oral dose of DYANAVEL XR, d-amphetamine and l-
amphetamine, the median (range) time to peak plasma concentrations (Tmax) were 4.0 (2 – 7) 
hours after dosing and peak concentration (Cmax) were 102% and 106%, respectively of the Cmax 
of immediate-release (IR) mixed amphetamine salts tablets. The relative bioavailability of 
DYANAVEL XR compared to an equal dose of mixed amphetamine salts IR tablets is 106% of 
d-amphetamine and 111% for l-amphetamine. 
 
See the DYANAVEL XR Package Insert for further information1. 
The present study will fulfill a part of the Phase 4 Commitments Tris Pharma has made to conduct 
the following FDA required post-marketing studies in children aged 4-5 years with ADHD:

STUDY OBJECTIVE 
The objective of this study is to evaluate the plasma amphetamine concentration/time profile of 
DYANAVEL XR in children aged 4 to 5 years with ADHD following a single 2.5 mg dose of 
DYANAVEL XR. 
These data will guide appropriate dosing in planned safety and efficacy studies with 
DYANAVEL XR in a preschool population with ADHD.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
3.1 
Overall Study Design 
This is an open-label, single-dose study in 4 -6 pediatric subjects with ADHD and who are 
otherwise healthy. Subjects will receive a single 1 mL dose of DYANAVEL XR (amphetamine) 
Extended-Release oral suspension 2.5 mg/mL. 
Pharmacokinetics will be assessed over a 28 hour period after the single dose.  Subjects may be 
kept at the study site(s) overnight. 
Subjects with ADHD aged of 4 to 5 years will be enrolled at up to 2 study sites.  Subjects will be 
screened for participation in the study within 6 weeks before study drug administration. Medical 
history, physical examination including height and weight, baseline laboratory testing, 12-lead 
electrocardiogram (ECG), vital sign measurements, a structured diagnostic interview (K-SADS-
PL), and informed consent will be completed during the screening visit. 
All subjects currently taking an ADHD medication including all psychostimulants 
methylphenidate, d-methylphenidate, amphetamines or derivatives of any of these products; must 
not take these medications for 48 hours prior to dosing with study medication. The ADHD 
medication can be resumed after the 28 hour sample is taken on Day 2, the final day of the study. 
The investigator should direct all other approved daily medications (see concomitant 
medications). 
Subjects will be confined at the study center prior to dosing until approximately 13 hours post-
dose, or may stay until the 28 hour blood sample per principal investigator discretion.  
Serial blood samples will be collected from all subjects at predetermined time points.  The 
pharmacokinetic parameters of interest will include peak (maximum) observed plasma drug 
concentration (Cmax), time to Cmax (tmax), area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from 
Time 0 to last sampling time (t) with a quantifiable plasma drug concentration (AUC0–t), AUC 
from Time 0 to infinity (AUC0–∞), and terminal-phase elimination half-life (t½). 
3.2 
Rationale for Study Design and Control Groups 
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of DYANAVEL XR, administered orally 
to pediatric subjects aged 4 to 5 years with ADHD. Objective pharmacokinetic measurements 
will occur over 28 hours post-dose as a primary endpoint; therefore, an open-label, single-dose 
study design will be used. Due to the pharmacokinetic focus of this study, no placebo control 
group will be used.   
One age group of pediatric subjects will be included in this study. The children will be aged 4 to 
5 years on the day of enrollment into this study. Subjects will receive a 1 mL (2.5 mg) dose of 
DYANAVEL XR. 
Dose Rationale: The dose range of the final optimal dose in a recent pivotal Phase 3 study of 
DYANAVEL XR in the treatment of children aged 6-12 years with ADHD (n=108) (TRI102-
ADD-001) was 10 mg/day to 20 mg/day. None of the 108 subjects enrolled in that study 
discontinued due to an AE. There were no SAEs, deaths or severe AEs reported. Dosing was 
initiated at 1 to 2 mL (2.5 to 5 mg)/day (investigator’s choice) and was titrated in 1 – 4 mL (2.5 


 
 
 
Confidential 
 
Page 17 of 46 
to 10 mg) increments every 4 to 7 days until an optimal dose or the maximum dose (20 mg/day) 
was reached. Subjects had to reach a final optimal dose between 10 to 20 mg/day, inclusive. No 
subjects discontinued the study due to inability to tolerate a 10 mg dose.  
The mean final optimized dose was 15.4 or 0.47 mg/ Kg. According to the CDC Growth Chart2, 
the expected weight range with 3rd and 97th percentiles for a pediatric population ages 4 - 6 years 
is 12 – 24 Kg. Considering the low and high end of the weights for children aged 4 to 5 years, a 
single dose of 2.5 mg translates to a weight-based dose ranging between 0.21 mg/Kg and 0.11 
mg/Kg, less than half of the mean weight-based dose that was well-tolerated in the previous 
study in children aged 6 to 12 years. Therefore it can be concluded that a single 2.5 mg dose of 
DYANAVEL XR is expected to be safe and tolerable to pediatric subjects aged 4 to 5 years with 
ADHD. 
Meals: The study will be conducted with meals, snacks and beverages provided ad lib. 
Rationale: In adult volunteers, DYANAVEL XR had no food effect. Blood draws can be difficult 
in children, especially when not well-hydrated. Food intake may help reduce emesis (common in 
children during fasting PK studies) and may reduce vasovagal responses during blood draws. 
Timing of PK sample collection: The main goal is to limit samples on the day of dosing to no 
more than 8 samples (pre-dose plus 7 post-dose samples) in order to collect an adequate amount 
of data while keeping the study feasible to conduct. The following collection times have been 
selected to meet goals of adequate data collection and study feasibility: Pre-dose and 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 
10, 12, and 28 hours post-dose.  
With the exception of the 0 (pre-dose) and the 28 hour sample, samples will be collected within 
± 15 minutes of the scheduled post-dose time.  The pre-dose sample may be collected up to 2 
hours before dosing. The 28 hour sample may be collected within 2 hours of the scheduled time. 
Actual times will be recorded for all events, and any deviation outside the specified ranges must 
be clearly documented in the subject’s case report forms.

ADVERSE AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
This section defines AEs and outlines the procedures for appropriately collecting, grading, 
recording, and reporting them.  Information in this section complies with 21 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) 312, ICH Guideline E2A: Clinical Safety Data Management: Definitions and 
Standards for Expedited Reporting, and ICH Guideline E6(R2):  Good Clinical Practice. 
The Investigator is responsible for the detection and documentation of events meeting the criteria 
and definition of an AE or SAE, as provided in this protocol.  During the study, when there is a 
safety evaluation, the investigator or site staff will be responsible for detecting AEs and SAEs, as 
detailed in this section of the protocol. 
9.1 
Definition of an Adverse Event 
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject, or clinical investigation 
subject administered a pharmaceutical product, whether or not the event has a causal relationship 
with this treatment.  
An AE may be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), 
symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study medication, whether or not 
considered causally associated with the use of the study medication.  Any abnormal laboratory 
value deemed clinically significant by the investigator, regardless of causal relationship, must be 
reported as an AE. 
Examples of an AE include the following: 
 significant or unexpected worsening or exacerbation of the condition or indication 
under study, taking into consideration the daily fluctuation of symptoms of 
ADHD. 
 exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent preexisting condition, including either an 
increase in frequency or intensity of the condition (e.g., abnormal physical 
examination finding) 
 signs, symptoms, or clinical sequelae of a suspected interaction 
 signs, symptoms, or clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of the study 
medication or a concurrent medication (overdose per se should not be reported as 
an AE or SAE, unless non serious or serious sequelae occur). 
The following examples are not considered AEs: 
 medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy), although the 
condition that leads to the procedure is an AE 
 anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of preexisting disease(s) or condition(s) 
(including laboratory values) present or detected at the start of the study that do 
not worsen 
 the disease or disorder being studied, or expected progression, signs, or symptoms 
of the disease or disorder being studied, unless they become more severe or occur 
with a greater frequency than expected for the subject’s condition. 


 
 
 
Confidential 
 
Page 29 of 46 
9.2 
Definition of a Serious Adverse Event (SAE)  
An SAE is defined as any event that meets the following criteria: 
 It results in death or is life-threatening (i.e., presents an immediate risk of death 
from the event as it occurred).  (This criterion is not intended to include an AE 
that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death.) 
 It results in persistent or substantial disability or incapacitation.  (This criterion is 
not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical significance, such 
as uncomplicated headache, diarrhea, or sprained ankle.) 
 It results in hospitalization 
 It results in prolongation of an existing hospitalization 
 It is a congenital anomaly or birth defect 
 It requires medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above outcomes. 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in determining whether an AE is serious 
when considering important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or 
result in death or hospitalization, but may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to 
prevent any of the other outcomes listed.  Examples of such medical events that may also be 
considered serious include, but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at 
home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in 
hospitalization. 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a preexisting condition that did not worsen from 
baseline does not meet the definition of an SAE. 
Social or convenience admission to a hospital or prolongation of a hospitalization for social or 
convenience reasons not associated with the occurrence of an AE does not meet the definition of 
an SAE. 
9.2.1 
Serious Adverse Events That Occur Before Administration of Study Medication 
Before administration of study medication, only SAEs assessed by the investigator as related to 
study participation (e.g., related to study procedures or a change in existing therapy) will 
be transcribed onto the SAE reporting form and reported to the sponsor. 
9.2.2 
Serious Adverse Events That Occur After Study Completion 
If an investigator becomes aware of an SAE or death that occurs in a subject within 30 days after 
the subject receives study medication, and that investigator considers the event to be related to 
the study medication, the investigator is obligated to report the SAE to the sponsor. 
9.3 
Collecting, Recording and Evaluating Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event on the basis of signs, 
symptoms, or other clinical information.  In such cases, the diagnosis, not the individual signs or 
symptoms, should be documented as the AE or SAE. AEs will be collected from the point the 
Informed Consent is signed through EOT or Early Termination Visit. 


 
 
 
Confidential 
 
Page 30 of 46 
Both total and treatment-emergent AEs will be reported. Treatment-emergent AEs are defined as 
those that occur after dosing of study medication until EOT or Early Termination Visit.

Assessment of Intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the 
study, using his or her clinical judgment.  The intensity of each AE and SAE recorded on the 
CRF should be assigned to one of the following categories: 
 Mild:  an event that is easily tolerated by the subject, causes minimal discomfort, 
and does not interfere with everyday activities 
 Moderate:  an event that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal 
everyday activities 
 Severe:  an event that prevents normal everyday activities. 
An AE that is assessed as severe should not be confused with an SAE.  Severity is a term used to 
describe the intensity of a specific event, and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe.  The 
event itself, however, may be of relatively minor medical significance (such as a severe 
headache).  This is not the same as serious, which is based on the subject’s or event’s outcome or 
on action criteria usually associated with events that pose a threat to a subject’s life or 
functioning (see Section Error! Reference source not found.). 
9.3.2 
Assessment of Causality 
The investigator is obligated to use his or her clinical judgment to assess the relationship 
between the study medication and the occurrence of each AE or SAE.  The investigator will 
assess the relationship to the study medication by using the following criteria:  
 Definitely Related:  An AE has a strong temporal relationship to the study drug.  
The AE is most likely explained by study drug.  Dechallenge and rechallenge (if 
possible) are positive.  The AE is consistent with a known response to the study 
drug.   Another etiology is unlikely or significantly less likely 
 Probably Related:  An AE has a strong temporal relationship to the study drug.  
The AE is more likely explained by study drug than by another cause.  
Dechallenge (if performed) is positive 
 Possibly Related:  An AE has a reasonable temporal relationship to study drug.  
The AE could have been due to another equally likely cause; dechallenge is 
positive 
 Not Related:  The subject did not receive the study drug OR the AE has no 
temporal relationship to study drug OR the AE has a much more likely alternate 
etiology OR the AE is due to an underlying or concurrent illness or effect of 
another drug. 
Even in situations in which minimal information is available for the initial SAE report, it is 
important that the investigator always makes an assessment of causality for every event before 
transmitting the SAE reporting form and AE CRF page(s) to the sponsor.  The causality 
assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory reporting requirements.  The 


 
 
 
Confidential 
 
Page 31 of 46 
investigator may change his or her opinion of causality in light of follow-up information and 
amend the SAE reporting form and AE CRF page(s) accordingly. 
9.3.3 
 Assessment of Outcome 
All SAEs must be followed until they are resolved, the condition stabilizes, the events are 
otherwise explained, or the subject is lost to follow-up.  The investigator will assess the outcome 
of the event by using the following terms: 
 Resolved: The event resolved or the subject recovered without sequelae.  An 
event (either serious or non serious) occurred and had an endpoint, and the subject 
experienced no restrictions.  Examples include stent placement for coronary artery 
disease (a device implanted is not a sequelae), an appendectomy (a scar is not a 
sequelae), a postoperative wound infection, or an upper respiratory tract infection 
 Resolved with sequelae: The event has at least 1 secondary outcome that may 
result in permanent disability, functional limitation, or both.  Such sequelae are 
usually limited to SAEs.  Examples include hip replacement resulting in foot drop 
(foot drop is not the intended outcome but is a risk of surgery), stroke resulting in 
paralysis, or emboli formation after a bacterial infection resulting in a renal infarct 
and loss of renal function 
 Not resolved: At the end of the study, a non serious event either has not changed 
in intensity or may not have recovered to baseline values, and the outcome is 
unknown.  Examples include headache, low-grade fever, or nausea 
 Unknown: The subject has withdrawn from the study prematurely or is lost to 
follow-up, and the status of the event is unknown 
 Death 
9.4 
Follow-up of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events 
Non-serious AEs will not be followed after the last scheduled study visit. 
SAEs will be followed until the event resolves, the condition stabilizes, the event is otherwise 
explained, or the subject is lost to follow-up.  The investigator will make a reasonable attempt to 
obtain follow-up information and provide it to the sponsor. This includes results of any 
additional laboratory tests or investigations or consultations with other healthcare professionals 
that serve to clarify the nature of the event, the cause of the event, or both. 
New or updated information will be recorded on the originally completed SAE reporting form 
and CRF pages, with all changes signed and dated by the investigator.  The updated SAE 
reporting form and CRF pages should be resubmitted to the sponsor within the time frames 
outlined in Section 9.5. Investigators with subjects with unresolved SAEs at the time that the 
electronic database is to be closed will be informed and instructed how to make subsequent 
updates on the SAE to the sponsor. The database will be locked and the data analyzed if 
unresolved SAEs remain. SAE updates will be reported to the sponsor, to Regulatory Authorities 
and IRBs within the timelines required by applicable regulations. All updates will also be filed in 
the Trial Master File retained by the sponsor.

9.5 
Prompt Reporting of Serious Adverse Events to the Sponsor 
Once the investigator determines that an event meets the protocol definition of an SAE, he or she 
must notify the sponsor within 24 hours, including weekends and Holidays. 
ANY SAE OR ANY OUTCOME OF DEATH DUE TO ANY CAUSE, WHICH OCCURS 
DURING THE COURSE OF THIS STUDY, REGARDLESS OF RELATIONSHIP TO 
STUDY MEDICATION, MUST BE REPORTED TO THE SPONSOR IMMEDIATELY 
(within 24 hours).  
COMPLETE THE SAE DETAILS REPORTING FORM AND FORWARD BY E-MAIL 
TO THE FOLLOWING SPONSOR CONTACT: 
Antonio Pardo, MD 
2030 US 130 South, Suite D 
Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852  
Telephone: 917-514-9058  
E-mail:  apardo@trispharma.com 
               Safety@trispharma.com 
In the initial e-mail, the investigator must provide to the sponsor the following CRF pages, 
completed to the greatest extent possible: 
 AE record 
 medical history 
 prior and concomitant medications. 
Also, the following documents are to be forwarded:  any laboratory results, diagnostic test 
results, or medical reports relevant to the SAE. 
E-mail transmission is the preferred method to transmit SAE information.  In rare circumstances, 
and in the absence of e-mail capacity, notification by telephone is acceptable, with a copy of the 
SAE reporting form and CRF pages sent by overnight mail.  Initial notification via telephone 
does not replace the need for the investigator to complete the SAE reporting form and CRF pages 
within the time frames outlined. 
If the investigator does not have all information regarding an SAE, he or she must not wait to 
receive additional information before notifying the sponsor of the event.  The form must be 
updated when additional information is received.  Follow-up information received on all SAEs 
must be forwarded to the sponsor by using the same procedure and timelines as for an initial 
report. 
9.6 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Serious Adverse Events 
The investigator must promptly report all SAEs to the sponsor in accordance with the procedures 
detailed in Section 9.5, “Prompt Reporting of Serious Adverse Events to the Sponsor.”   
The investigator, or responsible person according to local requirements, must comply with 
requirements related to the reporting of SAEs to the IRB. The sponsor is responsible for 
reporting to Regulatory Authorities.

STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY 
10.1 
Determination of Sample Size 
The sample size for this study was powered per FDA instruction to meet the FDA PK quality metric. 
Four to six subjects will provide adequate power for a pharmacokinetic analysis.   
The PK of d- and l-amphetamines are characterized well both in adults and children (Study 2014-
3401, Adderall IR). The predictions of PK in children based on the PK model developed using Study 
2014-3401 match reasonably with those of the observed PK in children administered other approved 
amphetamine products. This implies body size is the primary source of differences between adults 
and children. Given the richness of the prior information and the good predictive capacity of the PK 
model developed, this study design will ensure an informative study in children aged 4 to 5 years.  
Although preschool-aged children will be enrolled in this study, the key demographic driving 
the differences between children and adults is body size, not age.  
The estimated between-subject variability for DYANAVEL XR in adults is about 20% (for 
Clearance and Volume, the primary parameters of interest). Hence a sample size of 4-6 subjects 
should allow precise estimate of the mean Clearance and Volume.  
10.2 
Study Endpoints 
10.2.1 Pharmacokinetic Endpoints 
The pharmacokinetic parameters for the concentrations of d- and l-amphetamine in plasma will 
include Cmax, tmax, AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, and t½.  Mean, geometric mean, standard deviation, and 
percentage coefficient of variation will be calculated for the pharmacokinetic data, within the 
context of limited samples which can be collected from a pediatric population. 
10.2.2 Safety Endpoints 
Safety endpoints will include the following: 
All AEs; treatment-emergent AEs 
10.3 
General Considerations for Statistical Analysis 
10.3.1 Analysis Populations 
All treated subjects will be included in the analysis for safety and tolerability assessments. All 
subjects with sufficient plasma concentration data for estimating pharmacokinetic parameters 
will be included in the pharmacokinetic analyses.  
10.3.2 Test Hypothesis and P Value Justification 
No formal statistical tests are planned. 


 
 
 
Confidential 
 
Page 34 of 46 
10.3.3 Procedures for Handling Missing Data  
In general, no imputation will be done for missing data. However, AEs with missing severity 
assessments will be assigned as “severe,” and AEs with missing relationship assessments will be 
assigned as “related” for the purpose of analysis. 
10.3.4 Definitions for Assessment Windows 
For the purpose of data analysis, baseline measures will be the last measurements taken before 
the subject receives the study medication. Because this study requires a single dose of 
formulation, all measures taken after the subject has received the study medication will be 
considered on-treatment and end-of-treatment measures. The height and weight collected on the 
day of dosing will be used for all calculations. 
10.4 
Study Population Summaries 
Population summaries will be provided for the pharmacokinetic population included in this 
study. 
10.4.1 Disposition 
The summary tables will provide frequency counts for subject disposition (all treated subjects, 
subjects who completed the study, subjects who discontinued from the study and reason for 
discontinuation). Identification numbers for discontinued subjects will also be included in the 
tables. 
Disposition in terms of number of subjects excluded from each analysis population (safety and 
pharmacokinetic) will also be provided. 
10.4.2 Demographics 
The demographic summary will include descriptive statistics for age, sex, race, weight, and 
height. 
10.4.3 Protocol Violations 
All protocol violations and deviations will be tabulated. 
10.4.4 Treatment Compliance 
No formal summary of treatment compliance will be produced. 
10.4.5 Prior and Concomitant Medications 
All concomitant medications will be tabulated. 
10.4.6 Efficacy Analysis 
No efficacy assessment is planned for this study. 
10.5 
Safety and Tolerability Evaluations

10.5.2 Adverse Events 
MedDRA will be used to classify all AEs with respect to system organ class and preferred term. 
The dictionary version will be recorded in the clinical study report. 
10.5.3 Clinical Laboratory Tests 
Screening laboratory values will be preserved in source documentation. 
10.5.4 Vital Sign Measurements 
Vital sign values will be contained in the data listings. 
10.5.5 Electrocardiograms 
No formal analysis of abnormal ECG findings will be produced. 
10.5.6 Subgroup Analyses 
All analyses will be provided for the overall group. 
10.5.7 Summaries of Pharmacokinetic Endpoints 
All pharmacokinetic parameters for the concentrations of d- and l-amphetamine in plasma 
(including Cmax, tmax, AUC0–t, AUC0–∞, and t½) will be estimated for each treated subject.

11.0 DIRECT ACCESS TO PROCEDURAL DOCUMENTS 
11.1 
Study Monitoring 
According to ICH GCP guidelines, the Sponsor of the study is responsible for ensuring the 
proper conduct of the study with regard to protocol adherence and validity of data recorded on 
the eCRF.   Tris Pharma and its designated CRO are responsible for assigning the study 
monitor(s) to this study.  The study monitors’ duties are to aid the Investigator and its designated 
CRO in the maintenance of complete, accurate, legible, well-organized, and easily retrievable 
data.  The study monitor will advise the Investigator of the regulatory necessity for trial-related 
monitoring, audits, IRB review, and inspection by providing direct access to the source 
data/documents.  In addition, the study monitor will explain to and interpret for the Investigator 
all regulations applicable to the clinical evaluation of an investigational drug as documented in 
ICH guidelines. 
It is the study monitors’ responsibility to inspect the eCRFs throughout the study to protect the 
rights of the subjects; to verify adherence to the protocol; to verify completeness, accuracy, and 
consistency of the data; and to confirm adherence of study conduct to any local regulations.  
Details will be outlined in the study monitoring plan.  
11.2 
Source Documents 
Tris Pharma requires that the Investigator prepare and maintain adequate and accurate records 
for each subject treated with the investigational drug.  Source documents such as any hospital, 
clinic, or office charts and the signed informed consent forms are to be included in the 
Investigator’s files with the subject’s study records. 
Data will be captured electronically.  Study site personnel will record eCRF data from source 
documents.  If any data are first recorded onto documents such as laboratory reports, these 
documents will be considered source.  
11.3 
Data Collection Management 
This study will use electronic data collection techniques to collect data directly from the 
investigational site using eCRFs.  The data will be stored centrally in a fully validated clinical 
database compliant with FDA regulations on electronic data integrity.  The Investigator is 
responsible for ensuring that all sections of each eCRF are completed promptly and correctly and 
that entries can be verified against any source data.   
Study monitors will perform 100% source document verification to ensure there are no 
inconsistencies between the eCRFs and source documents.  Discrepancies will be resolved in 
accordance with the principles of GCP.  Detailed study monitoring procedures are provided in 
the Clinical Monitoring Plan. 
At intervals throughout the study and upon completion, data will be exported from the database 
into SAS datasets.

13.0 ETHICS 
13.1 
Ethics Review 
This study will be conducted according to GCP; US 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
Part 50 (Protection of Human Subjects); US 21 CFR Part 56 (IRBs); US 21 CFR Part 54 
(Financial Disclosure); International Conference for Harmonization (ICH) Guidance for 
Industry, E6(R2) GCP; the Nuremberg Code; and, where applicable the principles of the 
Declaration of Helsinki (Recommendations guiding Medical Doctors in Biomedical Research 
Involving Human Subjects), and with the NH&MRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in 
Human Research (2007).  The conduct of the study will be in accordance with the Notes for 
Guidance on Good Clinical Practice (CPMP/ICH/135/95), as adopted by the Australian 
Therapeutic Goods Administration (2000).   
13.2 
Ethics Committees 
The investigator (or sponsor, where applicable) is responsible for ensuring that this protocol, the 
site’s informed consent form, and any other information that will be presented to potential 
subjects (e.g., advertisements or information that supports or supplements the informed consent 
form) are reviewed and approved by the appropriate IRB or IEC.  The investigator agrees to 
allow the IRB or IEC direct access to all relevant documents.  The IRB or IEC must be 
constituted in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements.  The sponsor will provide 
the investigator with relevant documents or data needed for IRB or IEC review and approval of 
the study.  Before investigational products and CRFs can be shipped to the site, the sponsor must 
receive copies of the IRB or IEC approval, the approved informed consent form, and any other 
information that the IRB or IEC has approved for presentation to potential subjects. 
If the protocol, the informed consent form, or any other information that the IRB or IEC has 
approved for presentation to potential subjects is amended during the study, the investigator is 
responsible for ensuring that the IRB or IEC reviews and approves, where applicable, these 
amended documents.  The investigator must follow all applicable regulatory requirements 
pertaining to the use of an amended informed consent form, including obtaining IRB or IEC 
approval of the amended form, before new subjects consent to take part in the study using the 
new version of the form.  The investigator must promptly forward to the sponsor copies of the 
IRB or IEC approval of the amended informed consent form or other information and the 
approved amended informed consent form or other information.  IRB or IEC approval of the 
consent forms must be obtained in addition to the approval given for the clinical study.  
Regulatory review and approval may be required in some countries before IRB or IEC approval 
can be sought. 
13.3 
General Considerations 
The Investigator must conduct the study in accordance with this protocol and ICH GCP 
guidelines which have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki.  The Investigator and Tris 
Pharma will sign the protocol and study contract to confirm agreement.  The Investigator will not 
implement any amendment (deviation or changes of the protocol) without agreement by Tris 
Pharma and the IRB approval/information, except where necessary to eliminate immediate

Page 40 of 46 
hazards to study subjects or when changes involve only logistical or administrative aspects of the 
study.  
When any new and important information that may be relevant to the subject’s consent is 
obtained, the Investigator and Tris Pharma will consult with each other on how to deal with the 
information.  When Tris Pharma and a responsible Investigator judge it necessary, the 
Investigator must immediately provide the subjects with such information, revise the written 
information and other explanatory documents based on the new information, and obtain approval 
from the IRB(s).  In this instance, the Investigator should also immediately inform subjects 
currently participating in the clinical study of such information, confirm their intention to 
continue participation, re-explain the study to them using the revised written information and 
other explanatory documents, and obtain written consent to continue participation based on their 
voluntary decision. 
13.4 
Informed Consent 
Subjects’ parent or legal guardian must sign the informed consent form. The sponsor will 
provide investigators with a sample informed consent for this study.  Investigators are 
encouraged to use the sample form; however, they may adapt the information to suit the needs of 
their institution, if necessary (although it must reflect the required elements of informed consent 
specified in 21 CFR Part 50.25).  The final informed consent form must be accepted by the 
sponsor and approved by the IRB or IEC.  Investigators must provide the sponsor with an 
unsigned copy of the final informed consent form before and after it is approved by the IRB or 
IEC.  If any new information becomes available that might affect subjects’ willingness to 
participate in the study, or if any amendments to the protocol require changes to the informed 
consent form, the sponsor will provide investigators with a revised informed consent form.  The 
IRB or IEC must provide written approval of any revisions to the informed consent form in 
advance of its use. 
Investigators must provide subjects’ parents/guardians with all the information necessary to 
make an informed decision about their participation in the study, including the nature and 
intended purpose of the study, possible benefits, and possible risks. 
Before written informed consent is obtained, the parent/guardian should be given ample time and 
opportunity to inquire about the details of the study.  All questions must be answered to the 
satisfaction of the subject (or his or her legally authorized representative). 
Before a subject undergoes procedures specific to the protocol, the informed consent form must 
be signed and dated by the subject’s parent/guardian and any other signatories as required by the 
IRB or IEC. 
After all required signatures have been obtained, a copy of the informed consent form should be 
provided to the parent/guardian and the original must be kept on file at the site and made 
available for review by the sponsor.  Documentation of the informed consent discussion must be 
noted in the subject’s file. 
13.5 
Subject Confidentiality 
Individual subject medical information obtained as a result of this study is considered 
confidential, and disclosure to third parties is prohibited.  Information will be accessible to

authorized parties or personnel only.  Medical information may be given to the subject’s 
physician or to other appropriate medical personnel responsible for the subject’s well-being.  
Each parent/guardian will be asked to complete a form allowing the Investigator to notify the 
subject’s primary health care provider of his/her participation in this study.  
13.6 
Publications of the Clinical Study 
The clinical study plan and the results of the study will be published on www.ClinicalTrials.gov 
in accordance with 21 CFR § 50.25(c).  The results of and data from this study belong to Tris 
Pharma.  Investigators may not publish on the results from the study (including data specifically 
from their site) without prior written consent from Tris Pharma.   
13.7 
Protocol Amendments and Deviations 
No change or amendment to this protocol may be made by the Investigator or Tris Pharma after 
the protocol has been agreed to and signed by all parties unless such change(s) or amendment(s) 
has (have) been agreed upon by the Investigator and Tris Pharma.  Any change agreed upon will 
be recorded in writing, and the written amendment will be signed by the Investigator and Tris 
Pharma.  Institutional review board approval is required prior to the implementation of an 
amendment, unless overriding safety reasons warrant immediate action, in which case the IRB(s) 
will be promptly notified. 
No deviation from the protocol or investigational plan will be made except to protect the life or 
physical well-being of a subject in an emergency.  Except in such emergencies, prior approval of 
the Sponsor and the regulatory authorities (e.g., FDA or the IRB[s] if applicable) is required 
before deviations from the planned protocol.  All protocol deviations that occur during the study 
will be documented and reported to Tris Pharma and to the IRB(s), if applicable, according to 
regulations.  Further details about the documentation, evaluation, and follow-up of protocol 
deviations are detailed in this study’s clinical monitoring plan.

APPENDIX B:     PK SAMPLES PROCESSING AND HANDLING 
Sample Collection 
The actual date and clock time of each sample collection will be recorded. Samples will be 
collected in pre-chilled, labeled 3 mL blood collection tubes containing K2EDTA as the 
anticoagulant.  
Blood will be collected by direct venipuncture or from an indwelling cannula, which will be 
placed in a vein of the subject.  
The samples will be maintained in an ice bath for no more than 3 hours. If needed, the samples 
can be maintained in refrigerator conditions (5±3Cº) for up to 8 hours throughout sample 
collection and until further processing. 
Sample Processing and Storage 
Within 8 hours of collection, the blood samples will be centrifuged at room temperature for 10 
minutes at 3000 rpm. Samples that are interrupted during centrifugation, disturbed during the 
separation process will be re-spun under the same conditions in an attempt to separated and 
obtain the maximum amount of plasma from each sample.  
Following centrifugation, the plasma will be divided in 2 approximately equal aliquots, placed in 
labeled polypropylene tubes, and kept in an ice bath until storage at −25±10°C. 
Within 60 minutes of centrifugation, the aliquot tubes should be stored at −25±10°C. 
No more than 8 hours should elapse between blood draw and centrifugation and no 
more than 60 minutes should elapse after samples centrifugation and the freezing of 
the plasma samples.
