SYNOPSIS
TITLE:
A Phase 1 Open-Label Single-Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, 
Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of OP-101 (dendrimer n-acetyl-cysteine) After Subcutaneous
Administration in Healthy Volunteers
PROTOCOL NUMBER: OP-101-003
INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT: OP-101 (dendrimer n-acetyl-cysteine)
PHASE: 1
INDICATION(S): Treatment of children with childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy who 
are not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
OBJECTIVES:
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of OP-101 after single subcutaneous
(SC) doses in healthy subjects.
The secondary objective is to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of OP-101 after single 
SC doses in healthy subjects.
POPULATION:
The population for this study includes men and women aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive, who are in 
good health as determined by screening medical history, a physical examination, vital sign
measurements, and clinical laboratory tests (chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis). Subjects are 
to have a body mass index between 18 and 32 kg/m2, inclusive. 
STUDY DESIGN AND DURATION:
This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and 
PK of OP-101 after SC administration in up to 8 healthy subjects at 1 site in Australia.
This study will consist of a 21-day Screening Period, a 2-day Treatment Period, and Follow-up 
Visits on Days 8 and 15. Subjects will sign an informed consent form before any study procedures 
are performed and must meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria to participate 
in the study. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the investigational site on Day -1, dosed on 
Day 1, and discharged on Day 3.
There will be 2 separate and sequential SC cohorts (4 mg/kg and 8 mg/kg) with 4 subjects in each 
cohort who complete Day 15. Cohort 1 will enroll 4 subjects administered a single SC dose of 
4 mg/kg.  Dose escalation from Cohort 1 (4 mg/kg) to Cohort 2 (8 mg/kg) will be determined by 
the safety review committee (SRC), consisting of the Medical Monitor, the Principal Investigator
(or delegate), and Sponsor representative after review of safety, tolerability, and any available PK 
data through Day 8 of Cohort 1. Cohort 2 will enroll 4 subjects administered a single SC dose of 
8 mg/kg.

During the Treatment Period, plasma and urine samples will be collected for PK analysis. Plasma 
PK samples will be collected predose, at 30 minutes and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, and 
30-36 hours after dosing, as well as on Day 3 (~48 hr). Blood samples for PK analysis can be 
obtained within 5 minutes of the scheduled sampling time for sample times 1 hour, within 
10 minutes of the scheduled sampling time for sample times 12 hours, and within 2 hours of 
the scheduled sampling times for sample times >12 hours. 
Urine PK samples will be collected predose (spot sample) and between 0 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 12, 
12 to 18, 18 to 24, and 24 to 48 hours.
Safety assessments will include adverse event monitoring, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, 
chemistry, and urinalysis), physical examinations, and vital signs (pulse rate, blood pressure [BP], 
respiration rate, and temperature). Coagulation testing will be performed at screening. Pregnancy 
testing will be performed at screening and Day -1.
DOSAGE FORMS AND ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION:
Subjects in Cohort 1 will be administered 4 mg/kg OP-101 as a SC injection.
Subjects in Cohort 2 will be administered 8 mg/kg OP-101 as a SC injection.
PHARMACOKINETIC VARIABLES: 
The PK variables will include the following:
Cmax – maximum plasma concentration,
tmax – time to maximum plasma concentration,
kel – apparent terminal rate constant, 
t½ – apparent elimination half-life, 
AUC0-t – area under the concentration-time curve based on the last measurable concentration,
AUC0-inf – area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity, and
CL – clearance of study drug.

SAFETY VARIABLES:
Safety assessments will include adverse event monitoring, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, 
chemistry, and urinalysis), physical examinations, and vital signs (pulse rate, BP, respiration rate, 
and temperature).
STATISTICAL ANALYSES:
The PK Concentration Population is defined as all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study 
drug and have at least 1 measurable concentration. The PK Parameter Population is defined as all 
subjects who received a dose of study drug and have at least 1 PK parameter. Plasma PK 
concentrations of OP-101 will be summarized with descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard 
deviation [SD], percent coefficient of variation [%CV], minimum, median, maximum, geometric 
mean, and %CV for the geometric mean) by nominal PK sampling time and treatment using the 
PK Concentration Population. Standard noncompartmental PK analysis will be used to calculate 
the PK parameters. Pharmacokinetic parameters will be summarized with descriptive statistics (n, 
mean, SD, %CV, minimum, median, maximum, geometric mean, and %CV for the geometric 
mean) by treatment using the PK Parameter Population.
The Safety Population is defined as all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug. Adverse 
events will be summarized overall and by system organ class and preferred term, and the 
relationship to the study drug received. A list of subjects who have SAEs and who discontinue 
from the study due to an adverse event will be provided. Deaths due to adverse events will also be 
provided. Safety laboratory tests will include chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis. Summary 
statistics for laboratory values will be provided at baseline, postbaseline, and for changes from 
baseline to postbaseline by treatment. Occurrence of significant laboratory abnormalities will be 
summarized by regimen for each treatment. Vital signs will be summarized in the same manner 
as clinical laboratory evaluations, and physical examination data will be listed.
SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION:
Up to 8 subjects will be enrolled and dosed in 2 cohorts with 4 subjects in each cohort who 
complete Day 15. The sample size in the study is based on clinical and practical considerations 
rather than statistical power.
SITES: 1 site in Australia.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION 
OP-101 is a new chemical entity consisting of a metabolically stable inactive dendrimer covalently 
coupled to n-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). Upon intravenous (IV) administration, OP-101 is selectively 
taken up by reactive microglia and reactive astrocytes in the brain through fluid phase endocytosis. 
The active component of OP-101, NAC, is released upon uptake into reactive microglia and 
astrocytes. Upon intracellular release from OP-101, NAC acts to reduce oxidative stress and 
neuroinflammation in the brain. Following release of NAC, the dendrimer component is excreted 
from the cells and cleared without further metabolism.
Specifically, OP-101 consists of a generation-4 hydroxyl-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) 
dendrimer linked to NAC using a disulfide bond. PAMAM is a class of dendrimer made of 
repetitive reactions of methyl acrylate and ethylene diamine. The PAMAM dendrimer contains an 
ethylene diamine core, amidoamine repeat units ([CH2CH2CONHCH2CH2N]), and 64 hydroxyl 
end groups (chemical formula: C622H1184N186O188). Approximately 20 of the 64 hydroxyls are 
subsequently converted to amine groups and then to a thiol group for eventual conjugation with 
NAC using a disulfide bond. The active metabolite of OP-101, NAC, comprises approximately 
16% of the total mass of OP-101. 
In vitro and in vivo nonclinical studies have demonstrated that the PAMAM dendrimer is 
metabolically stable and rapidly excreted via the kidney. Upon IV administration, OP-101 is 
endocytosed by reactive microglia and astrocytes in animal models of neuroinflammation. After 
endocytosis, the reducing environment inside these cells results in release of NAC and a 
normalization of glutathione (GSH) levels. As the active metabolite of OP-101, NAC reduces 
oxidative stress and related proinflammatory cy
decreasing neuroinflammation and central nervous system (CNS) toxicity. Pharmacology studies 
support the specific targeting of OP-101 to microglia and the intracellular release of NAC 
(Kurtoglu 2009; Navath 2008), as well as the ability of OP-101 to significantly reduce a 
proinflammatory response as compared with unconjugated free NAC (Dai 2010; 
Kambhampati 2015; Kannan 2012; Lesniak 2013; Mishra 2014; Nance 2015; Nemeth 2017).  
NAC, the active metabolite of OP-101, is an approved product and marketed under Acetadote ,
and the putative mechanism of action of OP-101 is related to the chemical and biological properties 
of NAC. NAC has been approved for use as a mucolytic agent and for the treatment of
acetaminophen intoxication in addition to other conditions and disorders, including 
doxorubicin-induced 
cardiotoxicity, 
radio-contrast-induced 
nephropathy, 
and 
chemotherapy-induced toxicity (Samuni 2013). NAC has been shown to interact with several 
metabolic pathways including regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis, but the main clinical effect 
of NAC is attributed mainly to its ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and elevate 
cellular GSH levels. NAC is recognized to suppress microglial activation (Tsai 2009) and inhibit 
-mediated proinflammatory cytokines by macrophages and glial cells (Pahan 1998). 
Examples of CNS effects of NAC include reduced levels of proinflammatory cytokines tumor 
necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta in rodent models of traumatic brain injury and cerebral 
ischemia (Chen 2008; Khan 2004), and IL-6 and IL-10 in lipopolysaccharide-treated rat fetal brain 
(Beloosesky 2012). The human safety profile for NAC, based on the collective experience with 
Acetadote, supports human testing of OP-101.  
OP-101 is being developed as a possible treatment for patients with advanced childhood cerebral 
adrenoleukodystrophy (ccALD) who are not considered eligible for hematopoietic stem cell

transplantation (HSCT). Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an X-linked disease caused by mutations 
in the ABCD1 that result in oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in several critical CNS cell 
types (Deon 2016). The disease affects cerebral white matter, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, 
with some pediatric phenotypes suffering rapid progression leading to death in early childhood 
(Moser 2000; Moser 2007). About 35% of all hemizygous males between 3 and 10 years of age 
develop a form of ALD that manifests with progressive neuroinflammation resulting in widespread 
demyelination and rapid neurological deterioration. This phenotype is referred to as ccALD and 
typically leads to death within 2 to 5 years after onset of symptoms. While HSCT may stabilize 
patients in the very early stages of ALD, there is no effective therapy for patients who present with 
advanced stages of ccALD where HSCT is contraindicated. Therefore, OP-101 is being 
investigated as a potential treatment for patients with advanced ccALD who present with signs of 
progressive neuroinflammation potentially reversible by OP-101 and who are not candidates for 
HSCT.
1.1
Rationale
A
first-in-human study has been completed to evaluate
the safety, tolerability, and 
pharmacokinetics (PK) of IV administered OP-101 in normal healthy humans. This study indicated 
that treatment with a single IV dose of OP-101 at 20 and 40 mg/kg was generally well tolerated in 
healthy subjects based on an assessment of clinical and laboratory adverse events. The half-life of 
OP-101 in this study (5.5 hr) demonstrated the need for development of a more convenient dosing 
route (e.g. subcutaneous).  This study is being conducted to enable selection of the starting dose 
and regimen in a planned Phase 1/2/3 study in patients with ccALD. Currently, ccALD patients 
with progressive disease not treatable with HSCT have no therapeutic options, and reactive 
microglia are a recognized cause of the neuroinflammation associated with progression in ccALD. 
OP-101 has been demonstrated to selectively target reactive microglia and astrocytes in animal 
models of neuroinflammation, and has also been shown ex vivo to be effective in normalizing 
activated macrophages cells derived from ccALD patients. By targeting the reactive microglia,
OP-101 has the potential to stop or slow neurodegeneration in ccALD patients through antioxidant 
and anti-inflammatory mechanisms and may provide clinical benefit to ccALD patients not eligible 
for HSCT. Reversing the neuroinflammation driving the white matter injury in ccALD patients 
could stabilize the disease course and preserve neurological, developmental, and cognitive 
function. 
The safety and PK data collected in this subcutaneous dosing study will permit identification of 
the starting dose and regimen for the Phase 1/2/3 study in ccALD and support further clinical 
development of OP-101.
1.2
Risk/Benefit
This study is a follow up to the completed Phase 1 single ascending IV dosing study in healthy 
volunteers. In the completed Phase 1 study, treatment with a single IV dose of OP-101 at 20 and 
40 mg/kg was generally well tolerated in healthy subjects based on an assessment of clinical and 
laboratory adverse events. There were no clinically meaningful changes from baseline in 
laboratory parameters except changes in the urinalysis parameters of proteinuria and the presence 
of granular urinary casts. Transient elevations in KIM-1 and NGAL were observed, and subjects 
who experienced an increase in KIM-1 or NGAL at Day 15 underwent additional follow-up, at the 
recommendation of the SRC. The additional measurements in either KIM-1 or NGAL were

conducted as a precautionary measure and the values subsequently returned to baseline. There 
were no clinically meaningful changes in vital signs or ECGs. OP-101 has also been tested in 
nonclinical studies with no adverse clinical changes observed across multiple species and models. 
The anticipated risks associated with OP-101 may be categorized as potentially related to the 
PAMAM dendrimer and/or NAC. In vitro studies have demonstrated that the dendrimer is not 
systemically metabolized in human hepatocytes or human plasma and is rapidly cleared by the 
kidney. Good Laboratory Practice toxicity studies with repeat dosing of OP-101 in juvenile and 
adult rats have shown partial dose-dependent changes of proximal tubular cells characterized by 
mild intracellular basophilia and mild single-cell necrosis, but no associated clinical adverse 
events, mortality, or change in electrolytes. Toxicology studies in rats with single-doses of OP-101
have demonstrated resolution of the single-cell necrosis by 2 weeks postdosing and no adverse 
clinical observations or changes in urinalysis parameters. In summary, the renal clearance of 
OP-101 and the effects on proximal tubular cells in nonclinical studies indicate that renal function 
should be carefully assessed in human studies.
The active metabolite of OP-101, NAC, is an approved product and marketed under Acetadote. 
NAC is only released from OP-101 under intracellular GSH levels, and lower levels of GSH in 
plasma are insufficient to release NAC systemically. Regardless, the total level of NAC, if 
completely released from the highest possible human OP-101 dose, is well below the total systemic 
NAC typically administered for acetaminophen toxicity. Thus, the risks associated with Acetadote 
are relevant but unlikely to manifest given the projected low systemic exposure to NAC, even if 
fully released upon administration. For completeness, the major adverse events associated with IV 
NAC administration have been categorized as anaphylactoid reactions, with most either mild or 
moderate in degree. The most common adverse effects associated with NAC infusion were minor 
anaphylactoid reactions, including rash, urticarial, hypotension, and wheezing or shortness of 
breath. Literature reports indicate that adverse reactions consistent with hypersensitivity have been 
easily treated with antihistamines, epinephrine, and/or slowing of the drug infusion. Other reported 
adverse events related to IV NAC administration include tachycardia, nausea, and emesis. The 
frequency of adverse events has been reported to be between 0.2% and 20.8% and most commonly 
occur during the initial IV infusion of Acetadote (Acetadote Prescribing Information, Cumberland 
Pharmaceuticals Inc.).
In summary, clinical risks associated with the proposed subcuntaneous (SC) doses of OP-101 are 
considered low based on the lack of clinical adverse events observed at 3-5 fold higher doses 
administered IV in healthy volunteers. In addition, the human safety profile established for NAC, 
which is the active moiety in OP-101, further predicts a favorable safety profile and low risk with 
human investigation. 
There is no expected benefit of IV OP-101 administration for normal healthy subjects. Although 
safety and efficacy of OP-101 have not yet been evaluated in clinical studies, the collective efficacy 
observed in nonclinical studies indicate the potential to reverse neuroinflammation by targeting 
the reactive microglia in patients with ccALD. Because of the central role of neuroinflammation 
in driving disease progression in ccALD, the potential benefit in the intended patient population 
could include stabilization of white matter injury, and therefore the preservation of motor, 
cognitive, and developmental functions similar to the treatment effect after successful HSCT.

STUDY DESCRIPTION
3.1
Summary of Study Design
This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and 
PK of OP-101 after SC administration in up to 8 healthy subjects at 1 site in Australia.
This study will consist of a 21-day Screening Period, a 2-day Treatment Period, and Follow-up 
Visits on Days 8 and 15. Subjects will sign an informed consent form (ICF) before any study 
procedures are performed and must meet all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria to 
participate in the study. Eligible subjects will be admitted to the investigational site on Day -1, 
dosed on Day 1, and discharged on Day 3.
Figure 1 presents the cohort dosing schematic. There will be 2 separate and sequential SC cohorts 
(4 mg/kg and 8 mg/kg) with 4 subjects in each cohort who complete Day 15. Cohort 1 will enroll 
4 subjects administered a single SC dose of 4 mg/kg.  Dose escalation from Cohort 1 (4 mg/kg) to 
Cohort 2 (8 mg/kg) will be determined by the safety review committee (SRC), consisting of the 
Medical Monitor, the Principal Investigator (or delegate), and Sponsor representative after review 
of safety, tolerability, and any available PK data through Day 8 of Cohort 1. Cohort 2 will enroll 
4 subjects administered a single SC dose of 8 mg/kg.
During the Treatment Period, plasma and urine samples will be collected for PK analysis. Plasma 
PK samples will be collected predose, at 30 minutes and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, and 30-36 
hours after dosing, as well as on Day 3 (~48 hr). Blood samples for PK analysis can be obtained 
within 5 minutes of the scheduled sampling time for sample times 1 hour, within 10 minutes 
of the scheduled sampling time for sample times 12 hours, and within 2 hours of the scheduled 
sampling times for sample times >12 hours. 
Urine PK samples will be collected predose (spot sample) and between 0 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 12, 
12 to 18, 18 to 24, and 24 to 48 hours.
Safety assessments will include adverse event monitoring, clinical laboratory tests (hematology,
chemistry, and urinalysis), physical examinations, and vital signs (pulse rate, blood pressure [BP], 
respiration rate, and temperature). Coagulation testing will be performed at screening. Pregnancy 
testing will be performed at screening and Day -1.

4.3
Withdrawal Criteria
Participation of a subject in this clinical study may be discontinued for any of the following 
reasons:
The subject withdraws consent or requests discontinuation from the study for any reason;
Occurrence of any medical condition or circumstance that exposes the subject to substantial 
risk and/or does not allow the subject to adhere to the requirements of the protocol;
Any SAE, clinically significant adverse event, severe laboratory abnormality, intercurrent 
illness, or other medical condition which indicates to the Investigator that continued 
participation is not in the best interest of the subject;
Pregnancy;

Subject failure to comply with protocol requirements or study-related procedures;
Termination of the study by the Sponsor or the regulatory authority; or 
Subject noncompliance. 
If a subject withdraws prematurely from the study due to the above criteria or any other reason, 
study staff should make every effort to complete the full panel of assessments scheduled for the 
Early Termination Visit. The reason for subject withdrawal must be documented in the electronic 
case report form (eCRF).
If a subject is withdrawn from the study due to an adverse event, the subject will be asked to return 
to the site for, at a minimum, the evaluations scheduled for the Early Termination Visit. If the 
adverse event has still not resolved, additional follow-up will be performed, as appropriate, based 
on the Investigator’s judgment, and documented in the subject’s medical records. As a minimum 
requirement, SAEs should be followed for 30 days after the subject’s last dose of study drug.

STUDY TREATMENTS
5.1
Treatment Groups
There will 2 separate and sequential SC cohorts with 4 subjects in each cohort. The population will 
include healthy men and women aged 18 to 65 years, inclusive. 
Dose escalation from Cohort 1 to Cohort 2 will be determined by the SRC, consisting of the 
Medical Monitor, the Principal Investigator (or delegate), and Sponsor representative after review 
of safety, tolerability, and any available PK data through Day 8 of Cohort 1.
Dosing with OP-101 is planned for the cohorts as follows: 
Cohort 1: Single SC dose of 4 mg/kg, and 
Cohort 2: Single SC dose of 8 mg/kg.
5.2
Rationale for Dosing
The safety of OP-101 is supported by the completed Phase 1 IV dosing study in healthy volunteers 
at 20 and 40 mg/kg (3-5 fold higher than the planned SC doses in this study).  In addition, a series 
of nonclinical studies previously conducted with the active agent in OP-101, NAC, and numerous 
clinical studies that have been performed with NAC provide further support for the proposed 
dosing. The overall toxicological profile of OP-101 is expected to be comparable to NAC, which 
has been evaluated in nonclinical toxicity studies in support of the approval of Acetadote.
Good Laboratory Practice toxicology studies conducted with OP-101 in juvenile and adult rats, 
incorporating repeat IV doses up to 2000 mg/kg or single IV doses up to 1000 mg/kg, have shown 
no adverse clinical signs or mortality. The predominant finding in the toxicology studies was 
microscopic changes in the kidney that were generally localized to the proximal tubule. The 
findings included tubular degeneration/regeneration, mineralization, basophilic granules/tubules, 
and/or single cell necrosis, which increased in severity with increasing dose. While a defined 
NOAEL was not identified in the repeat-dose studies, the single-dose study in adult male rats, 
demonstrated a NOAEL of 200 mg/kg based upon the absence of single cell necrosis by 2 weeks 
after dosing and minimal-to-mild severity of this finding noted at earlier time points. Of note, no 
effects were observed for urinalysis or urine chemistry parameters, and no changes in other urinary 
biomarkers (kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, albumin, 
c
-microglobulin) were detected.
From the completed IV dosing study in healthy volunteers it was determined that the clearance of 
OP-101 was rapid with no detectable drug in the plasma after 24 hours.  There were also no clinical 
adverse events in subjects administered IV doses of 20 or 40 mg/kg OP-101.  To enable chronic 
dosing, SC dosing is being evaluated in this study.  The SC dosage formulation has been optimized 
to enable a single SC dose of 400-500 mg.  Higher doses may require two SC injections to achieve 
the desired dose if necessary. The selection of 4 and 8 mg/kg SC doses enable the majority of the 
subjects to receive only one injection and is 3-5 fold lower dose than the previous IV study in 
healthy volunteers.  Exposure to NAC at the proposed starting dose and subsequent dose cohorts 
in this study is orders of magnitude less than that demonstrated to be safe in humans following 
oral or IV administration.

SAFETY ASSESSMENTS
8.1
Adverse Events
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with 
this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign 
(including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the 
use of an investigational medicinal product, whether or not related to the investigational medicinal 
product. All adverse events, including observed or volunteered problems, complaints, or 
symptoms, are to be recorded on the appropriate eCRF.
Adverse events, which include clinical laboratory test variables, will be monitored and 
documented from the time of informed consent until study participation is complete. Subjects 
should be instructed to report any adverse event that they experience to the Investigator. Beginning 
with the screening visit, the Investigator should make an assessment for adverse events at each 
visit and record the event on the appropriate adverse event eCRF.
Wherever possible, a specific disease or syndrome rather than individual associated signs and 
symptoms should be identified by the Investigator and recorded on the eCRF. However, if an 
observed or reported sign or symptom is not considered a component of a specific disease or 
syndrome by the Investigator, it should be recorded as a separate adverse event on the eCRF.
Additionally, the condition that led to a medical or surgical procedure (eg, surgery, endoscopy, 
tooth extraction, or transfusion) should be recorded as an adverse event, not the procedure. 
Any medical condition already present at screening should not be reported as an adverse event 
unless the medical condition or signs or symptoms present at baseline (pre-dose) changes in 
severity or seriousness at any time during the study. In this case, it should be reported as an adverse 
event.
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory or other examination findings that are detected during 
the study or are present at screening and significantly worsen during the study should be reported 
as adverse events. The Investigator will exercise his or her medical and scientific judgment in 
deciding whether an abnormal laboratory finding or other abnormal assessment is clinically 
significant. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory values occurring during the clinical study 
will be followed until repeat tests return to normal, stabilize, or are no longer clinically significant. 
Any abnormal test that is determined to be an error does not require reporting as an adverse event.
8.1.1
Adverse (Drug) Reaction
All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be 
considered an adverse drug reaction. “Responses” to a medicinal product means that a causal 
relationship between a medicinal product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility, 
(ie, the relationship cannot be ruled out).
8.1.2
Unexpected Adverse Drug Reaction
An unexpected adverse drug reaction is defined as an adverse reaction, the nature or severity of 
which is not consistent with the applicable product information in the Investigator’s Brochure.

8.1.3
Assessment of Adverse Events by the Investigator
The Investigator will assess the severity (intensity) of each adverse event as mild, moderate, or 
severe, and will also categorize each adverse event as to its potential relationship to study drug 
using the categories of yes or no.
The severity of all adverse events should be graded according to the Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0. These criteria can be found at 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/reporting/ctc.html. For those adverse events not listed in the CTCAE, the 
following grading system should be used:
Mild (CTCAE Grade 1): Transient symptoms, awareness of sign/symptom, but easily tolerated 
and no interference with subject’s daily activities.
Moderate (CTCAE Grade 2): Marked signs/symptoms that interfere with subject’s usual 
activities, but still acceptable.
Severe (CTCAE Grade 3): Incapacitating signs/symptoms which cause considerable 
interference with the subject’s daily activities, unacceptable.
Life-threatening (CTCAE Grade 4): Life threatening or disabling adverse event.
Death (CTCAE Grade 5): Death-related adverse event.
Causality Assessment
The relationship of an adverse event to the administration of the study drug is to be assessed 
according to the following definitions:
No (unrelated, not related, no relation) – The time course between the administration of study drug 
and the occurrence or worsening of the adverse event rules out a causal relationship and another 
cause (concomitant drugs, therapies, complications, etc.) is suspected.
Yes (related) – The time course between the administration of study drug and the occurrence or 
worsening of the adverse event is consistent with a causal relationship and no other cause 
(concomitant drugs, therapies, complications, etc.) can be identified.
The definition implies a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship between the event and the 
study drug. This means that there are facts (evidence) or arguments to suggest a causal relationship.
The following factors should also be considered:
The temporal sequence from study drug administration-
o
The event should occur after the study drug is given. The length of time from study drug 
exposure to event should be evaluated in the clinical context of the event.
Underlying, concomitant, intercurrent diseases-
o
Each report should be evaluated in the context of the natural history and course of the 
disease being treated and any other disease the subject may have.
Concomitant drug-
o
The other drugs the subject is taking or the treatment the subject receives should be 
examined to determine whether any of them might be recognized to cause the event in 
question.

Clinical Study Protocol OP-101-003
Confidential & Proprietary
Version 2.0, 17 March 2020
33
Known response pattern for this class of study drug-
o
Clinical and/or preclinical data may indicate whether a particular response is likely to be a 
class effect.
Exposure to physical and/or mental stresses-
o
The exposure to stress might induce adverse changes in the recipient and provide a logical 
and better explanation for the event.
The pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of the study drug-
o
The known pharmacologic properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) 
of the study drug should be considered.
8.2
Serious Adverse Events
An adverse event or adverse reaction is considered serious if, in the view of either the Investigator
or Sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes:
Death,
A life-threatening adverse event,
o
NOTE: An adverse event or adverse reaction is considered “life-threatening” if, in view of 
either the Investigator or Sponsor, its occurrence places the subject at immediate risk of 
death. It does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have 
caused death.
Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalizations,
o
NOTE: Any hospital admission with at least 1 overnight stay will be considered an 
inpatient hospitalization. An emergency room visit without hospital admission will not be 
recorded as a SAE under this criterion, nor will hospitalization for a procedure scheduled 
or planned before signing of informed consent. However, unexpected complications and/or 
prolongation of hospitalization that occur during elective surgery should be recorded as 
adverse events and assessed for seriousness. Admission to the hospital for social or
situational reasons (ie, no place to stay, live too far away to come for hospital visits) will 
not be considered inpatient hospitalizations. 
A persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to 
conduct normal life functions,
A congenital anomaly/birth defect, or
An important medical event.
o
NOTE: Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical 
judgment, they may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention 
to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. Examples of such medical events include 
allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, 
blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalizations, or the 
development of drug dependency.

8.3
Serious Adverse Event Reporting 
Procedures for Investigators
Initial Reports
All SAEs occurring from the time of informed consent until 30 days following the last
administration of study drug must be reported to safety@clinical.net.au within 24 hours of the 
knowledge of the occurrence (this refers to any adverse event that meets any of the aforementioned 
serious criteria). All SAEs that the Investigator considers related to study drug occurring after the 
30-day follow-up period must be reported to the Sponsor.
If the event meets serious criteria, send an email of the paper SAE form to safety@clinical.net.au
or call the CNS Clinical Research Associate (CRA) or Project Manager (PM) within 24 hours of 
awareness.  The SAE information must be entered within the EDC within 24 hours of the system 
becoming available.
Safety Contact Information: safety@clinical.net.au
Follow-Up Reports
The Investigator must continue to follow the subject until the SAE has subsided or until the 
condition becomes chronic in nature, stabilizes (in the case of persistent impairment), or the subject 
dies.
Within 24 hours of receipt of follow-up information, the Investigator must update the SAE form 
electronically in the EDC system for the study and submit the updated SAE Paper form and any 
supporting documentation (eg, subject discharge summary or autopsy reports) to CNS via e-mail
at safety@clinical.net.au.
8.4
Pregnancy Reporting
If the subject or partner of a subject participating in the study becomes pregnant during the study 
or within 30 days of discontinuing study drug, the Investigator should report the pregnancy to CNS
within 24 hours of being notified via safety@clnical.net.au and cc the CRA and PM. CNS will 
then forward the Pregnancy Notification Form to the Investigator for completion.
A subject becoming pregnant while on study drug will immediately be withdrawn from the study 
and early termination study procedures will be performed.
The subject or partner should be followed by the Investigator until completion of the pregnancy. 
If the pregnancy ends for any reason before the anticipated date, the Investigator should notify 
CNS Safety via safety@clinical.net.au and cc CRA and PM.. At the completion of the pregnancy, 
the Investigator will document the outcome of the pregnancy. If the outcome of the pregnancy 
meets the criteria for immediate classification as an SAE (ie, postpartum complication, 
spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, neonatal death, or congenital anomaly), the Investigator should 
follow the procedures for reporting an SAE.
8.5
Expedited Reporting
The Sponsor will report all relevant information about suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions that are fatal or life-threatening as soon as possible to the TGA, and in any case no later 
than 7 days after knowledge by the Sponsor of such a case, and that relevant follow-up information 
will subsequently be communicated within an additional 8 days. 


Orpheris, Inc.
Clinical Study Protocol OP-101-003
Confidential & Proprietary
Version 2.0, 17 March 2020

All other suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions will be reported to the TGA as soon as 
possible but within a maximum of 15 days of first knowledge by the Sponsor.
The Sponsor will also inform the Investigator as required. 
8.6
Clinical Laboratory Evaluations
Standard clinical laboratory profiles for chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis will be evaluated 
at screening, Day -1, and on Days 1 (pre-dose), 2 & 3. Samples will also be collected on Day 8,
Day 15, and at the Early Termination Visit. Note, the eGFR will be determined for each time point 
above to assess any potentially acute effects on kidney clearance. 
See Appendix B for a list of clinical laboratory analytes.
Tests for HIV, HBsAg, and HCVab will be completed at screening to determine eligibility.
Coagulation (aPTT, PTT, and INR) will be assessed at screening. 
A serum (beta HCG) pregnancy test will be performed at screening for female subjects of 
childbearing potential only. A urine pregnancy test will be performed at Day -1 for female subjects 
of childbearing potential only. A test for FSH level will be performed at screening only for women 
of non-childbearing potential who are not surgically sterile.
A urine drug, cotinine, and breath alcohol test will be administered at screening and Check-in. 
8.7
Vital Signs
Vital signs (pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, and BP) will be recorded at all study 
visits and the Early Termination Visit after the subject has been seated or supine for 5 minutes. 
During the Treatment Period, vital signs will be measured predose, 30 and 60 minutes and at 2, 4,
12, and 24, and 48 hours after dosing. Vital signs will also be measured at the Follow-up Visits on 
Days 8 and 15.
8.8
Physical Examinations
Complete physical examinations will be performed at screening, on Day -1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 8,
and Day 15, or at the Early Termination Visit. Body weight and height will be measured at 
screening and used to calculate BMI.

INVESTIGATOR REQUIREMENTS AND QUALITY CONTROL 
11.1
Ethical Conduct of the Study
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for 
designing, conducting, recording, and reporting studies that involve human subjects. Compliance 
with this standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and wellbeing of study subjects 
are protected, consistent with the principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki, 
and that the clinical study data are credible.
11.2
Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) or Human Research Ethics Committee 
(HREC)
The Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) or Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) will 
review all appropriate study documentation in order to safeguard the rights, safety, and wellbeing 
of subjects. The study will only be conducted at sites where IRB approval has been obtained. The 
protocol, Investigator’s Brochure, ICF, advertisements (if applicable), written information given 
to the subjects, safety updates, annual progress reports, and any revisions to these documents will 
be provided to the IRB by the Investigator.
Federal regulations and International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Guidelines require that 
approval be obtained from an IRB prior to participation of subjects in research studies. Prior to 
study onset, the protocol, any protocol amendments, ICFs, advertisements to be used for subject
recruitment, and any other written information regarding this study to be provided to a subject or 
subject’s legal guardian must be approved by the IRB.
No drug will be released to the site for dosing until written IRB authorization has been received 
by the Sponsor.
11.3
Informed Consent
The ICF and any changes to the ICF made during the course of the study must be agreed to by the 
Sponsor or designee and the IRB prior to its use and must be in compliance with all ICH GCP, 
local regulatory requirements, and legal requirements.
The Investigator must ensure that each study subject is fully informed about the nature and 
objectives of the study and possible risks associated with participation and must ensure that the 
subject has been informed of his/her rights to privacy. The Investigator will obtain written 
informed consent from each subject before any study-specific activity is performed and should 
document in the source documentation that consent was obtained prior to enrollment in the study. 
The original signed copy of the ICF must be maintained by the Investigator and is subject to 
inspection by a representative of the Sponsor, their representatives, auditors, the IRB and/or 
regulatory agencies. A copy of the signed ICF will be given to the subject.
11.4
Study Monitoring Requirements
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to ensure that the study is conducted in accordance with 
the protocol, Declaration of Helsinki, ICH GCP, and applicable regulatory requirements, and that 
valid data are entered into the eCRFs.

with the Investigator and site personnel the following documents: protocol, Investigator’s 
Brochure, eCRFs and procedures for their completion, informed consent process, and the 
procedure for reporting SAEs.
The Investigator will permit the Sponsor or their designee to monitor the study as frequently as 
deemed necessary to determine that data recording and protocol adherence are satisfactory. During 
the monitoring visits, information recorded on the eCRFs will be verified against source 
documents and requests for clarification or correction may be made. After the eCRF data is entered 
by the site, the CRA will review the data for safety information, completeness, accuracy, and 
logical consistency. Computer programs that identify data inconsistencies may be used to help 
monitor the clinical study. If necessary, requests for clarification or correction will be sent to the
Investigator. The Investigator and his/her staff will be expected to cooperate with the monitor and 
provide any missing information, whenever possible.
All monitoring activities will be reported and archived. In addition, monitoring visits will be 
documented at the investigational site by signature and date on the study-specific monitoring log.
11.5
Disclosure of Data
Data generated by this study must be available for inspection by Regulatory authorities, the 
Sponsor or their designee, applicable foreign health authorities, and the IEC/HEC as appropriate. 
Subjects or their legal representatives may request their medical information be given to their 
personal physician or other appropriate medical personnel responsible for their welfare.
Subject medical information obtained during the study is confidential and disclosure to third 
parties other than those noted above is prohibited.
11.6
Retention of Records
To enable evaluations and/or audits from regulatory authorities or the Sponsor, the Investigator 
will keep records, including the identity of all participating subjects (sufficient information to link 
records, eg, eCRFs and hospital records), all original signed ICFs, copies of all eCRFs, SAE forms, 
source documents, and detailed records of treatment disposition. The records should be retained 
by the Investigator according to specifications in the ICH guidelines, local regulations, or as 
specified in the Clinical Study Agreement, whichever is longer. The Investigator must obtain 
written permission from the Sponsor before disposing of any records, even if retention 
requirements have been met.

A 30-minute window for vital signs and all postdose procedures is allowed.
When multiple procedures are scheduled at the same time point, the order of procedures should be as follows:  obtain vital signs, collect blood sample (drawn at nominal time), 
and obtain urine sample.
1.
There will be a 1-day visit window for Days 8 and 15.
2.
Body weight and height will be measured at screening and used to calculate BMI. 
3.
Assessments will be performed prior to discharge. 
4.
Vital signs (pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature, and BP) will be recorded at all study visits after the subject has been seated or supine for 5 minutes. During the 
Treatment Period, vital signs will be measured predose, 30 and 60 minutes and at 2, 4, 12, 24 and 48 hours after SC dosing.
5.
A serum (beta HCG) pregnancy test will be performed at screening for female subjects of childbearing potential only. A urine pregnancy test will be performed at Day -1
for female subjects of childbearing potential only. A test for FSH level will be performed only for women of non-childbearing potential who are not surgically sterile.
6.
Safety laboratory tests will be performed under fasting conditions (at least 8 hours). Day 1 sample will be taken within 30 minutes prior to dosing. See Appendix B for the 
list of analytes assessed; eGFR will be assessed with each sample and will be based on the subject’s creatinine level, age, sex, and race. KIM-1 and NGAL will be 
evaluated from urine collected on Day -1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 8, Day 15 and on Early Termination. Additional chemistry parameters (i.e., glycosylated haemoglobin and 
homocysteine) will only be assessed at screening.
7.
Plasma PK samples will be collected within 30 minutes prior to dosing, and at 30 min and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24, and 30-36 hours after SC injection, as well as on Day 
3 (~48 hr). Blood samples for PK analysis can be obtained within 5 minutes of the scheduled sampling time for sample times 1 hour, within 10 minutes of the 
scheduled sampling time for sample times 12 hours, and within 2 hours of the scheduled sampling times for sample times >12 hours. 
8.
Urine PK samples will be collected 60 to 30 minutes prior to dosing (spot sample) and between 0 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 12, 12 to 18, 18 to 24, and 24 to 48 hours after dosing.
9.
Cohort dosing will be separate and sequential. Dose escalation from Cohort 1 (4 mg/kg) to Cohort 2 (8 mg/kg) will be determined by the SRC after review of safety, 
tolerability up to Day 8, and any available PK data from Cohort 1.
aPTT = activated partial thromboplastin time; BMI = body mass index; BP = blood pressure; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone; 
HBV = hepatitis B virus; HCG = human chorionic gonadotropin; HCV = hepatitis C virus; HIV = human immunodeficiency virus; INR = international normalized ratio; 
PTT = partial thromboplastin time; SRC = safety review committee.
