Study design: 
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the impact of 13 
intravenous infusions of RSLV-132 in approximately 50 patients with SLE. Each of the 
approximately 50 subjects will be randomized 2:1 (active:placebo) and will receive 13 
infusions of 10 mg/kg of RSLV-132 or placebo as follows on days: 
 
• 1, 8, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, and 155 
 
Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 28 days 
prior to study entry (i.e., prior to Baseline visit).  Following Baseline evaluations on Day 1, 
subjects will receive their first infusion of RSLV-132 or placebo.  Subjects will return to the 
research unit for follow-up visits as described in Appendix A.   
Dose selection rationale:  The dose level was chosen based on safety and tolerability data from 
Protocol 132-02 (multiple ascending dose study in SLE patients).   
RSLV-132 shall be prepared for each subject from individual stock vials provided by Sponsor.

INTRODUCTION 
3.1 
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Immune Complexes, Human Safety Data with 
RSLV-132 
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder affecting many 
tissues and organs including skin, kidney and brain [22].   Despite wide inter-patient diversity 
with respect to clinical manifestations, a common characteristic of SLE patients is the presence 
of circulating autoantibodies directed against nuclear antigens [24, 19].  The presence of these 
autoantibodies signifies that host immune tolerance has been compromised.  The physiological 
cause underlying the loss of tolerance is unclear, but current theories include that SLE patients’ 
cells are predisposed to undergo capricious apoptosis or that host mechanisms involved in 
clearance of apoptotic cells/debris are impaired [27, 16].  In either scenario, the extracellular 
accumulation of nuclear-associated antigens, including nucleic acid-containing complexes, elicits 
B-cells to produce antibodies that recognize these normally sequestered components as foreign 
antigens.  As a result, immune tolerance is broken 
When complexed with their respective antigens, SLE patient autoantibodies form immune 
complexes (ICs) which can promote activation of immune cells in vitro.  For example, ICs 
formed following incubation of SLE patient sera with necrotic and/or apoptotic cell extracts (a 
source of nuclear antigens), are effective agonists for activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells 
(pDCs) to produce type 1 interferon (IFN) [5].  Circulating ICs recovered from SLE patients are 
also capable of eliciting IFN-α output from pDCs in culture, though lower abundance of the 
endogenous complexes relative to the quantities formed following addition of exogenous 
antigens promotes smaller quantities of cytokine production [1, 8].  ICs also are capable of 
stimulating B-cells resulting in NF-κB activation and proliferation [15, 6].  Moreover, SLE 
patient ICs have been reported to activate human polymorphonuclear (PMN) cell activities 
including chemotaxis, the oxidative burst response, and netosis [17, 7].   In addition to effects on 
immune cells, ICs can deposit within tissues (e.g. kidney, blood vessels) where their physical 
accumulation and associated inflammation appear to disrupt normal homeostatic function [21, 3].  
Overall, ICs are positioned at the apex of an effector cascade which instigates and drives SLE 
disease pathology.   
Many common SLE patient autoantibodies are directed against nucleic acids or to proteins that 
bind to non-coding RNAs.  Importantly, recent studies have established that nucleic acids 
associated with SLE patient ICs are capable of activating Toll-like receptors (TLRs) [12, 18, 14, 
4, 13].  Although TLRs are thought to operate as key elements of the innate immune system by 
recognizing pathogen-associated molecular components, it is now clear that host nucleic acids 
also can activate specific family members including TLR7, TLR8, and TLR9 [26].   Cells 
expressing these receptors do so without distributing them to the cell surface; rather, TLRs 7/8/9 
are sequestered within endosomes [26].  This positioning is postulated to minimize interaction 
with host nucleic acids.  However, when present within an IC, nucleic acid antigens are actively 
internalized into cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis.  Effector Fc, complement, and B-cell 
receptors all may facilitate entry of nucleic acid containing ICs into endosomes [18, 14].  Once 
internalized, the nucleic acid cargo is positioned to bind to and activate resident endosomal 
TLRs.  Activated TLRs, in turn, promote type 1 IFN from pDCs, activate PMNs, and promote B-

cell proliferation and autoantibody production.  Thus, the nucleic acid-containing antigens are 
envisioned to contribute to multiple aspects of SLE disease pathophysiology. 
Evidence of the importance of TLR-induced signaling to autoimmunity is further suggested by a 
mouse transgenic line engineered to overexpresses TLR7 [9].  Overexpression of this receptor is 
associated with development of spontaneous autoimmunity.  A substantial increase in TLR7 
expression is associated with enhanced mortality, an increase in circulating anti-DNA antibodies, 
and dendritic cell dysregulation [9].  Given that the transgenic mice do not require an exogenous 
agonist to promote the autoimmune phenotype, these findings suggest that elevation of the 
receptor’s steady state expression is sufficient to tilt the homeostatic balance from a state where 
immune tolerance is maintained to one where tolerance is broken.  Since TLR7 is known to 
recognize RNA-containing ligands [11], the spontaneous development of autoimmunity in the 
TLR7 transgenic animals suggests that endogenous RNAs are contributing to the 
pathophysiological response.   Importantly, when the TLR7 receptor transgenic mice are crossed 
with a mouse line over expressing bovine RNase under control of a serum albumin promoter, the 
double transgenic descendants demonstrate increased survival, reduced activation of T and B 
lymphocytes, and reduced hepatic inflammation [25].  Thus, the addition of a secreted 
ribonuclease to the system appears to attenuate the heightened state of autoimmunity, 
presumably by degradation of the endogenous TLR7 ligands. 
Evidence also exists in humans suggesting that TLRs and nucleases impact SLE.  A mutation 
within the promoter of the TLR7 gene is reported to enhance TLR7 expression and to be a risk 
factor for development of SLE [23].  In addition, polymorphisms within TLRs 7/8/9 have been 
linked to SLE patients [10].  Likewise, mutations resulting in loss of DNase1 or DNase1L3 each 
have been reported as predisposing to the development of SLE [28, 2]. Moreover, genetic 
association studies have established a link between the 3’-5’ exonuclease Trex1 and SLE [20].   
Therefore, in both mice and humans the balance between the levels of endogenous nucleic acid-
containing ligands and expression of the nucleic acid-sensing TLRs appears key in regulating 
cellular immune responses and autoimmunity.

RSLV-132 
RSLV-132 is a novel therapeutic being developed for the treatment of SLE.  This fully human 
biologic (Figure 1) consists of RNase1 (also known as pancreatic RNase) fused to the N-
terminus of the Fc segment of IgG1.  The attachment of the Fc segment is intended to extend the 
circulatory half-life of the RNase and by so doing reduce the frequency of administration.  
RSLV-132 is intended to utilize the RNase to break down RNA containing immune complexes, 
thereby reducing the activation of TLRs, decreasing the production of type 1 IFN and decreasing 
the proliferation of B-cells and autoantibody production.

3.3 
Study Rationale 
Chronic systemic inflammation is the hallmark of SLE.  There is a preponderance of scientific 
and clinical evidence that supports the concept that RNA associated with autoantibodies 
specifically delivered to immune system cells triggers multiple inflammatory pathways.  
Many investigative drugs either currently or previously tested in lupus are designed to inhibit key 
inflammatory cytokines such as Interferon-α, Interferon-γ, or B-cell targets such as CD-20, or 
CD22.  All of these targets lie downstream of the initial triggering event and may be only one of 
the pathways involved in SLE inflammation.   
RNA-containing immune complexes circulating in SLE patient blood are specifically delivered 
to Fc receptor-bearing cells and internalized resulting in the activation of TLRs and the 
activation of myriad downstream inflammatory pathways.  RSLV-132 is an enzymatically active 
RNase with a long circulating half-life that is designed to digest the RNA contained in these 
immune complexes and thereby render the immune complexes biologically inert.  The 
therapeutic hypothesis is that over time depleting the blood of RNA immune complexes will 
decrease the activation of multiple pro-inflammatory cascades and thereby decrease the overall 
SLE inflammation. 
3.4 
RSLV-132 Human Safety Data 
Two safety studies in humans have been conducted to date with RSLV-132; a single ascending 
dose study in 32 healthy volunteers, and a multiple ascending dose study in 32 subjects with 
systemic lupus erythematosus.

3.4.1 
Study 132-01 – Single Ascending Dose Study Summary: 
This first-in-man study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in healthy 
volunteers in a phase one unit to assess the safety and tolerability of a single, escalating IV dose 
of RSLV-132 (0.3 mg/kg – 10.0 mg/kg).  There we no SAEs, or drug discontinuations due to an 
AE.  The drug was well tolerated at all doses tested and an MTD was not reached.  The serum 
half-life of the drug was measured to be approximately 16 days.  None of the subjects in the 
study were positive for anti RSLV-132 antibodies.  
3.4.2 
Study 132-02 Multiple Ascending Dose Study Summary: Safety 
This was a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with successive escalating 
cohorts to assess the safety and tolerability of repeated IV doses (0.3 mg/kg – 10.0 mg.kg) of 
RSLV-132 in SLE subjects with inactive or mild disease.  The MTD was not reached at the 
highest dose of RSLV-132 tested.  Repeated administration of RSLV-132 doses was generally 
well tolerated by the subjects in this study. Across all dose cohorts, AEs were observed at the 
same overall incidence in RSLV 132 subjects as placebo subjects (6/8 subjects [75%] versus 
18/24 subjects [75%]). The incidence of AEs and the average number of events per subject did 
not increase with increasing dose level. The most frequently reported AEs in the RSLV 132 arm 
were headache, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection, each of which occurred in 5 
subjects (20.8%). The majority of AEs in this study were Grade 1 in severity; 13 subjects (10 
RSLV-132 and 3 placebo subjects) experienced Grade 2 AEs, and one subject in Cohort 1 of the 
RSLV-132 arm experienced a Grade 3 AE of acute cholecystitis (this event was also reported as 
the only SAE in the study). No Grade 4 or Grade 5 events occurred. Adverse events judged to be 
related to blinded study drug were reported for 38% of placebo subjects and 29% of RSLV 132 
subjects. No dose related trends were observed for any adverse event. No deaths due to AEs 
occurred. All subjects had at least one out-of-range chemistry, hematology, or urinalysis value, 
but no values were considered clinically significant in RSLV-132 subjects. No dose-dependent 
trends were observed in the incidence of out-of-range values and no concerning patterns of 
laboratory abnormalities were detected. No notable differences between treatment groups and no 
trends over the course of the study were observed in vital signs or physical findings. No 
clinically significant ECG abnormalities were reported during the study. No confirmed positive 
anti-RSLV-132 antibodies were detected in any of the subjects in this 113-day study.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
5.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of approximately fifty subjects 
with SLE.  Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 
twenty-eight days prior to study entry (i.e., prior to Baseline visit). 
Subjects will be evaluated during screening for evidence of active, evaluable cutaneous 
manifestations of SLE which will be measured by the investigator using the CLASI score and 
documented using photography.  The photographs will be adjudicated by a dermatologist with 
expertise in the use of the CLASI tool in SLE clinical trials in order to confirm the subject meets 
the CLASI entry criteria. 
Following Baseline evaluations on Day 1, subjects will receive their first intravenous infusion of 
RSLV-132.   Subjects will return to the research unit for additional visits as described in 
Appendix A.   
The subjects will be randomized 2:1 (active:placebo) to receive IV administrations of 10 mg/kg 
of study drug or placebo as follows on days: 
• 1, 8, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, 113, 127, 141, and 155 
5.2 
Number of Subjects and Centers 
Approximately 50 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 15-20 clinical centers in the United 
States, Canada and Europe. 
5.3 
Estimated Study Duration 
Each subject will be screened within twenty-eight days of admission to the study center 
(Baseline visit).  The duration of the study from Baseline visit to End of Study visit, excluding 
the screening period is approximately 30 weeks for each subject.

one year since last menstrual cycle and confirmed by ensuring blood FSH levels ≥ 22 
mIU/mL);  OR practicing highly effective contraception (e.g., oral, implantable, 
transdermal or injectable contraceptives, a non-hormonal intrauterine device [IUD] with 
spermicide; female condom with spermicide; contraceptive sponge with spermicide; 
intravaginal system, diaphragm with spermicide; cervical cap with spermicide; a male 
sexual partner who agrees to use a male condom with spermicide; a sterile sexual partner) 
for at least 2 months prior to dosing and until 110 days following the End of Study.  
9. Male participants must agree to use a male condom with spermicide from the first dose 
until 90 days after the last dose. Male participants must agree not to donate sperm from 
the first dose until 90 days after the last dose. 
6.2 
CLASI Score Entry Criteria – Adjudication 
Prior to being enrolled in the study, each patient’s cutaneous SLE disease activity measure and 
photographs of the cutaneous areas of disease involvement will be submitted to and reviewed by 
an adjudicator.  The adjudicator is a dermatologist with extensive experience in reviewing 
cutaneous clinical data from SLE subjects in a clinical trial setting.  The adjudicator will review 
the photographs of the cutaneous disease to confirm the subject meets the entry criteria and is 
eligible for the study.  
6.3 
Subject Exclusion Criteria 
The following will exclude potential subjects from the study: 
1. severe, active CNS involvement at Screening;

14. inability or unwillingness to comply with study restrictions, return for follow up 
appointments, or other considerations, in the opinion of the Investigator, which would 
make the candidate unsuitable for study participation. 
6.4 
Subject Withdrawal Criteria 
Subjects will be informed that they are free to withdraw from the study at any time and for any 
reason. The Investigator may remove a subject from investigational treatment if, in the 
Investigator's opinion, it is not in the best interest of the subject to continue. Notification of 
discontinuation of investigational treatment will be made immediately to the Sponsor. In case of 
premature discontinuation of investigational treatment, efforts will be made to perform all End of 
Treatment (EOT) assessments and an End of Study (EOS) visit outlined in (Appendix A). 
 
If a subject wishes to withdraw from the study, the site staff should confirm whether the subject 
is agreeable to continue the assessments without the investigational treatment or if they wish no 
further involvement in the study. In the latter case no further study-related evaluations will be 
performed and no additional data will be collected.   
The date and the reason for discontinuation of investigational treatment or withdrawal from the 
study will be recorded on the subject’s Case Report Form (CRF). Subjects that withdraw after 
receiving study drug will not be replaced. 
6.5 
Women of Child-Bearing Potential 
As women of ages 18 to 70 years old are eligible to enroll in this study, all women will be 
considered to be of child-bearing potential unless:

TREATMENT OF SUBJECTS 
7.1 
Description of Study Drug 
RSLV-132 is a novel therapeutic candidate.  This fully human biologic consists of RNase1 (also 
known as pancreatic RNase) fused to the N-terminus of the Fc portion of IgG1.   The attachment 
of the Fc domain is intended to extend the serum half-life of the RNase and reduce the frequency 
of administration.  RSLV-132 is provided in single-use vials for dilution for intravenous 
infusion.  Two lots of drug have been used in the study; lot 1-FIN-1778 which was provided at 
9.5 mg/mL, and lot 1-FIN-2899 which was provided at 10.0 mg/mL. 
7.2 
Treatment Compliance 
Study drug will be administered at the clinical site by trained study staff according to the Study 
Drug Reference Manual provided by the Sponsor. 
7.3 
Concomitant Medications 
Subjects entering the study who had no changes to their SLE medications in the previous 30 days 
prior to the Baseline visit shall remain on the background medications at the same doses 
throughout the study.  With the exception of decreases in OCS, no changes in lupus medications 
shall be permitted during the study, including the addition of topical steroids or topical 
tacrolimus, except for the rescue of a lupus flare. 
7.4 
Steroid Tapering 
One of the objectives of the study is to evaluate the potential steroid sparing effects of RSLV-
132.  Steroid doses should remain stable through Day 85.  Thereafter, Investigators shall 
decrease the use of oral corticosteroids beginning on Day 85 using the guidance below.  No 
further steroid decreases should occur from Day 141 through Day 169. 
• Subjects receiving >7.5 mg of prednisone or equivalent daily AND demonstrating a 
clinical improvement in the cutaneous manifestations of lupus as measured by a decrease 
in the CLASI activity by 50% compared with Baseline shall decrease oral corticosteroids 
as follows: 
o Decrease prednisone (or equivalent) by 2.5 mg/day  
o If the prednisone dose (or equivalent) remains greater than 7.5 mg/day AND 
cutaneous disease activity remains improved (CLASI activity score decreased by 
50% compared with baseline) AND prednisone has been stable for 2 weeks, 
reduce prednisone by an additional 2.5 mg; repeat after 2 more weeks.   
o If prednisone reduced to 7.5 mg, see below,  
o If after a decrease in prednisone, the CLASI is no longer decreased (compared to 
baseline) by 50%, the investigator may increase the prednisone to the previous 
daily dose (not to exceed the baseline dose) 
• Subjects receiving ≤7.5 mg/of prednisone or equivalent daily AND demonstrating 
clinical improvement in the cutaneous manifestations of lupus as measured by a decrease

Page 24 of 52 
in the CLASI activity score by 50% compared with baseline, the investigator may, at 
his/her discretion, decrease prednisone by no greater than 2.5 mg/day every other week. 
7.5 
Treatment of Flares 
Investigators should treat lupus flares as they deem appropriate with the minimum amount of 
corticosteroid necessary and should return the subject to baseline steroid dose as quickly as 
medically reasonable.  Should a subject require more than steroids for a lupus flare, investigators 
should treat as necessary and notify the medical monitor. 
7.6 
Randomization and Blinding 
This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. As such, except for the specifically 
designated unblinded study site pharmacist, the investigator, sponsor, and remaining study site 
clinical staff will be blinded as to treatment.  Ongoing drug accountability will be monitored by 
an unblinded monitor. 
Except in a medical emergency, the investigator or designee and blinded study site clinical staff 
will remain blinded during the conduct of the study and until such time that all discrepancies in 
the clinical database are resolved (i.e., at the time of the database lock). The date/initials and 
reason for the investigator and/or clinical staff removing the study blind will be documented.

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY 
Safety of the treatment will be compared between the two groups by assessing adverse events 
and laboratory results as well as any physical findings that have changed from baseline. 
All patients who have received any infusion with either RSLV-132 or placebo will be included in 
the overall analysis of safety. All data relating to safety will be listed and summarized by 
treatment group using descriptive statistics. The change from baseline for each of the vital signs 
parameters will also be computed and included in individual patient listings and descriptive 
summaries.  
Deaths that occur during the study and the proportion of subjects discontinuing the study due to 
adverse events will as well be summarized by treatment group. 
All adverse events will be coded and tabulated by MedDRA System Organ Class (SOC) and 
preferred term (PT) and presented in descending frequency. Adverse events will also be 
tabulated by severity and relationship to the study medication. Serious adverse events will be 
summarized separately. 
9.1 
Adverse Event Definition 
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a 
pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. 
Adverse events may be reported by the subject, discovered by Investigator questioning, or 
detected through PE, a laboratory test requiring further attention, or other means. 
Adverse events can therefore be any unfavorable or unintended sign, symptom or disease 
temporally associated with the use of an investigational medicinal product, whether or not 
considered related to the investigational medicinal product. Adverse events include: 
• Any sign, medical diagnosis or symptom 
• Any new undesirable medical experience or unfavorable and unintended worsening of an 
existing condition that occurs during or after treatment, whether or not considered related 
to study drug 
• Abnormal laboratory results that have associated symptoms or findings, require specific 
treatment, or require a change in subject management.   
Whenever possible, the Investigator should group signs or symptoms that constitute a single 
diagnosis under a single event term. For example, cough, rhinitis and sneezing might be grouped 
together as “upper respiratory tract infection”. If possible, abnormal laboratory results that meet 
the definition of an AE (that warrant management, investigation or treatment) should be reported 
as a clinical diagnosis rather than the abnormal value itself (e.g., “anemia” rather than “decreased 
blood count”).  Adverse events will be graded according to the Rheumatology CTC (Woodworth 
et al., J. Rheumatology 2007; 34(6): 1401-1414).

9.2 
Serious Adverse Event Definitions 
An AE is classified as serious if it meets any of the following criteria: 
• Results in death 
• Is life-threatening 
o This definition implies that the subject, in the view of the Investigator, was at 
immediate risk of death at the time of the event. It does not include an event that, 
had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 
• Requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongs an existing hospitalization 
o Hospitalizations for surgeries planned before study entry, for social reasons, or for 
normal disease management procedures (including treatment adjustment) are not 
to be considered SAEs according to this criterion. 
• Results in persistent or significant disability and/or incapacity 
• Results in an adverse outcome in a child or fetus of a patient exposed to the study 
treatment regimen before conception of during pregnancy. 
• Otherwise considered medically important in the judgment of a health care professional. 
Medical and scientific judgment should determine whether an AE is classified as an SAE 
in many situations. Medically important conditions that may not result in death, not be 
life-threatening, nor require hospitalization, may be considered SAEs when they may 
jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed 
above. Examples of such events are allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment 
in an emergency room, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in in-patient 
hospitalization. 
9.3 
Adverse Event Reporting 
All AEs, both serious and non-serious, will be recorded on the AE CRF at each visit from the 
time the subject receives the first dose of study medication until the End of Study visit.   
9.4 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting Requirements 
SAEs will be reported to Resolve on the SAE report form within 24 hours of awareness of the 
event by the investigator.   
In the event that the investigator does not become aware of the occurrence of a SAE 
immediately, the investigator is to report the event within 24 hours of his/her first awareness of 
the SAE. 
Any SAE occurring any time after the reporting period must be promptly reported if a causal 
relationship to investigational product is suspected.   
The initial report should include as much relevant information as possible but at a minimum 
should include subject Number, date of event onset, event term/description of event, 
investigator’s assessment of relationship to study drug. 


Resolve Therapeutics  
 Protocol 132-03 
 
Confidential 
Version 5 27 April 2017  
Page 29 of 52 
For all SAEs, the investigator is obligated to pursue and provide information to Resolve or its 
designee in accordance with the timeframes for reporting specified above.  In addition, an 
investigator may be requested by Resolve to obtain specific additional follow-up information in 
an expedited fashion.  This information may be more detailed than that captured on the AE case 
report form.  In general, this will include a description of the AE in sufficient detail to allow for a 
complete medical assessment of the case and independent determination of possible causality.  
Information on other possible causes of the event, such as concomitant medications and illnesses 
must be provided.  All new information including final outcome should be submitted as soon as 
possible. 
9.5 
Non-Serious Adverse Event Reporting Requirements 
Non-serious AEs are to be reported on the AE CRFs, which are to be submitted as outlined in the 
study guidelines. 
9.6 
Adverse Event Follow Up 
For adverse events with a causal relationship to the investigational product, follow-up by the 
investigator is required until the event or its sequelae resolve, stabilize or are explained.  
9.7 
Severity Assessment 
As required on the AE case report forms, the investigator will assess the severity of an event 
according to the Rheumatology CTC (Woodworth et al., J. Rheumatology 2007; 34(6): 1401-
1414). 
9.8 
Causality Assessment 
The investigator’s assessment of causality must be provided for all AEs (serious and non-
serious).  Causality is determined as not related, possibly related, or definitely related according 
to the following definitions: 
• Not related: The event can be readily attributed to other factors such as the subject’s 
clinical state, environmental factors, or other concomitant medications or therapies 
administered. 
• Possibly Related: Follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration and is 
unlikely to be attributed to the subject's clinical state or environmental factors or other 
therapies administered. 
• Definitely related:  Clear-cut temporal association with study drug administration with 
improvement on cessation of study drug AND cannot be readily attributed to other 
factors such as the subject’s clinical state, environmental factors, or other concomitant 
medications or therapies administered. 
9.9 
Abnormal Test Findings 
When laboratory results are outside the normal range, a decision regarding whether the result is 
of clinical significance or not shall be made by the Investigator and shall be based, in part, upon 


Resolve Therapeutics  
 Protocol 132-03 
 
Confidential 
Version 5 27 April 2017  
Page 30 of 52 
the nature and degree of the observed abnormality. Abnormal evaluations may be repeated, to 
rule out lab error. 
The criteria for determining whether an abnormal objective test finding should be reported as an 
AE are as follows:  
• Test result is associated with accompanying symptoms, and/or; 
• Test result requires additional diagnostic testing or medical/surgical intervention, and/or; 
• Test result is considered to be an AE by the investigator or Sponsor. 
An abnormal test result, in the absence of any of the above conditions, does not constitute an AE. 
Any abnormal test result that is determined to be an error does not require reporting as an AE. 
9.10 
Hospitalization 
AEs reported from the clinical study associated with subject hospitalization or prolongation of 
subject hospitalization, are considered serious. 
Hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization in the absence of a precipitating, clinical AE is 
not an SAE.  Examples include: 
• Admission for treatment of a preexisting condition not associated with the development 
of a new AE or with a worsening of the preexisting condition (e.g., for work-up of 
persistent pre-treatment lab abnormality); 
• Social admission (e.g., subject has no place to sleep); 
• Administrative admission (e.g., for yearly physical exam); 
• Protocol-specified admission during a clinical study (e.g., for a procedure required by the 
study protocol); 
• Pre-planned or optional admission not associated with a precipitating clinical AE.

ASSESSMENT OF PHARMACOKINETICS 
10.1 
Measurement of RSLV-132 Drug Levels 
RSLV-132 drug levels in subject serum samples will be quantitated by two different assays; a 
validated ELISA assay that directly measures RSLV-132 (ICON Laboratories), and a catalytic 
activity assay that measures the RNase enzyme activity of RSLV-132 (Resolve Therapeutics, 
LLC). 
10.2 
Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be calculated for each subject, whenever possible, based 
on the serum concentrations of RSLV-132.

STATISTICS 
A statistical analysis plan will be prepared after completion of the final protocol and will be 
finalized before database lock. The statistical analysis plan will include more details on the 
statistical analysis and presentation of the data.  The fundamentals of the analysis are listed 
below.  Data will be analyzed and reported by subject’s sex and gender.  
11.1 
Subject Population for Efficacy/Activity Analysis 
The efficacy/activity analysis set will include all subjects randomized and that receive at least 
one dose of study drug. 
11.2 
Analysis of the Primary Objective 
The primary objective is a comparison of the mean improvement (from Baseline to Day 85; or 
Baseline to Day 169 in CLASI Activity scores of those in the efficacy analysis set receiving 
RSLV-132 and those receiving placebo. 
11.3 
Analysis of the Secondary Objectives 
The following secondary objectives will be compared between the two treatment arms: 
• The immunogenicity of RSLV-132 as measured by the presence of RSLV-132 antibodies 
• Improvements (from Baseline to Day 85 and Day 169) in the SLEDAI-2K, PGA, and 
BILAG-2004 scores  
• Improvement (from Baseline to Day 85 and Day 169) in the FACIT-Fatigue scale  
• Improvements (from Baseline to Day 85 and Day 169) in tender or swollen joint count 
• Reduction in oral steroids at Day 169 relative to Day 85 
• The proportion of subjects achieving a 50% improvement in CLASI activity score 
11.4 
Exploratory Analysis 
Differences between the gene expression profiles, autoantibody and complement profiles, and 
serum protein levels will be compared between the two treatment arms.  A comparison will be 
made of the mean improvement (from Baseline to Day 85; or Baseline to Day 169 in CLASI 
damage scores of those randomized to be treated with RSLV-132 and those randomized to 
receive placebo. 
11.5 
Subject Population for Safety Analysis 
The safety of RSLV-132 will be compared between the two arms using the following safety 
parameters:  adverse events, previous and concomitant medications, previous and concomitant 
diseases and laboratory data. The safety population will include all patients who received any 
treatment with either RSLV-132 or placebo. Randomized patients that receive the incorrect 
therapy from that intended will be summarized in the group according to the therapy actually 
received. Patients who are not randomized but who receive treatment or placebo will also be 
included in the safety population and summarized according to the therapy actually received. In

INTRODUCTION 
This document presents the statistical analysis plan (SAP) for Resolve Therapeutics, Inc. 
based on protocol 132-03: A Phase 2a, Double Blind, Placebo Controlled Study of 
RSLV-132 in Subjects with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.  The analyses described in 
this document will be performed for the final clinical study report (CSR).  Any deviations 
from the statistical analysis plan will be described and a justification given in the final 
CSR.   
All analyses will be conducted using SAS version 9.3 or higher.  
2.1. 
Study Objectives 
2.1.1. 
Primary Objective 
The primary objective of the study is: 
• to assess the impact of 13 intravenous (IV) infusions of RSLV-132 on 
cutaneous lupus disease activity using the Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus 
Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) activity score comparing Baseline 
with Day 85 and Day 169 among the drug-treated and placebo groups. 
2.1.2. 
 Secondary Objectives 
The secondary objectives of the study are: 
At Days 85 and 169: 
• to assess disease activity using Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease 
Activity Index SELENA (safety of estrogens in lupus erythematosus national 
assessment) Modification (SLEDAI-2K), British Isles Lupus Activity Group 
(BILAG-2004) and physician’s global assessment (PGA); 
• to evaluate the immunogenicity of RSLV-132 in subjects with systemic lupus 
erythematosus; 
• to assess improvement in tender or swollen joint count; 
• to assess improvement in patient reported outcomes using the Functional 
Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue scale; 
• to assess the proportion of subjects achieving a 50% improvement in CLASI 
activity score.

Study Design 
2.3.1. 
Study Population 
This is a Phase 2a, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the 
impact of 13 intravenous infusions of RSLV-132 in subjects with Systemic Lupus 
Erythematosus.  The study population will be 18 to 70 years male or female with SLE, 
including cutaneous manifestations of SLE and a CLASI score of ≥10 at Screening, and 
elevated levels of any one of the Ro-52/60, La, Sm, SmRNP, U1 RNP A/68 
autoantibodies at Screening (local or central laboratory). 
Approximately 50 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 15-20 clinical centers in the 
United States.  Study subjects who are eligible for enrollment and have provided written 
informed consent will be randomized 2:1 (Active:Placebo) to receive 13 infusions of 10 
milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of RSLV-132 or Placebo.

2.3.2. 
Treatment Groups and Dosing 
Following Baseline evaluations on Day 1, randomized subjects will receive their first infusion 
of RSLV-132 or Placebo.  RSLV-132 or Placebo will be administered intravenously at 10 
mg/kg at baseline, then weekly for two weeks and then once every 2 weeks for the next 20 
weeks (13 administrations) to subjects with SLE. 
RSLV-132 shall be prepared for each subject from individual stock vials provided by Sponsor. 
Details of dilution, dose preparation, and administration instructions will be provided in the 
Study Drug Reference Manual.  The dose for each individual shall be based on the subject’s 
baseline body weight. 
2.3.3. 
 Study Visits and Assessments 
Potential subjects will be screened to assess their eligibility to enter the study within 28 days 
prior to study entry (i.e., prior to Baseline visit).  Following Baseline evaluations on Day 1, 
randomized subjects will receive their first intravenous infusion of RSLV-132 or Placebo.  
Subjects will return to the research unit for additional visits as described in Table 1 Study 
Procedures. 
Subject participation duration: 28 days of screening followed by 22 weeks of treatment and 8 
weeks of follow up (approximately 34 weeks total).  The duration of the study from Baseline 
visit to End of Study visit, excluding the screening period is approximately 30 weeks for each 
subject.  Study assessments are outlined in Table 1.

2.3.4. 
Concomitant Medications  
Subjects entering the study who had no changes to their SLE medications in the previous 30 days 
prior to the Baseline visit shall remain on the background medications at the same doses 
throughout the study.  With the exception of decreases in Oral Corticosteroids (OCS), no 
changes in lupus medications shall be permitted during the study, including the addition of 
topical steroids or topical tacrolimus, except for the rescue of a lupus flare. 
2.3.4.1. 
Steroid Tapering 
One of the objectives of the study is to evaluate the potential steroid sparing effects of RSLV-
132.  Steroid doses should remain stable through Day 85.  Therefore, Investigators shall decrease 
the use of oral corticosteroids beginning on Day 85 using the guidance below.  No further steroid 
decreases should occur from Day 141 through Day 169. 
• Subjects receiving >7.5 milligram (mg) of prednisone or equivalent daily AND 
demonstrating a clinical improvement in the cutaneous manifestations of lupus as 
measured by a decrease in the CLASI activity by 50% compared with Baseline shall 
decrease oral corticosteroids as follows: 
o Decrease prednisone (or equivalent) by 2.5 mg/day 
o If the prednisone dose (or equivalent) remains greater than 7.5 mg/day AND 
cutaneous disease activity remains improved (CLASI activity score decreased 
by 50% compared with baseline) AND prednisone has been stable for 2 
weeks, reduce prednisone by an additional 2.5 mg; repeat after 2 more weeks. 
o If prednisone reduced to 7.5 mg, see below, 
o If after a decrease in prednisone, the CLASI is no longer decreased (compared 
to baseline) by 50%, the investigator may increase the prednisone to the 
previous daily dose (not to exceed the baseline dose) 
• Subjects receiving ≤7.5 mg/of prednisone or equivalent daily AND demonstrating 
clinical improvement in the cutaneous manifestations of lupus as measured by a 
decrease in the CLASI activity score by 50% compared with baseline, the investigator 
may, at his/her discretion, decrease prednisone by no greater than 2.5 mg/day every 
other week. 
2.3.4.2. 
Treatment of Flares 
Investigators should treat lupus flares as they deem appropriate with the minimum amount of 
corticosteroid necessary and should return the subject to baseline steroid dose as quickly as 
medically reasonable.  Should a subject require more than steroids for a lupus flare, investigators 
should treat as necessary and notify the medical monitor.

2.3.5. 
Subject Withdrawal 
Subjects will be informed that they are free to withdraw from the study at any time and for any 
reason.  The Investigator may remove a subject from investigational treatment if, in the 
Investigator's opinion, it is not in the best interest of the subject to continue.  Notification of 
discontinuation of investigational treatment will be made immediately to the Sponsor.  In case of 
premature discontinuation of investigational treatment, efforts will be made to perform all End of 
Treatment (EOT) assessments and an End of Study (EOS) visit outlined in SAP Section 2.3.3 
Table 1. 
If a subject wishes to withdraw from the study, the site staff should confirm whether the subject 
is agreeable to continue the assessments without the investigational treatment or if they wish no 
further involvement in the study.  In the latter case no further study-related evaluations will be 
performed and no additional data will be collected. 
The date and the reason for discontinuation of investigational treatment or withdrawal from the 
study will be recorded on the subject’s Case Report Form (CRF).  Subjects that withdraw after 
receiving study drug will not be replaced. 
2.3.6. 
Randomization and Blinding 
This will be a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.  As such, except for the specifically 
designated unblinded study site pharmacist, the investigator, sponsor, and remaining study site 
clinical staff will be blinded as to treatment.  Ongoing drug accountability will be monitored by 
an unblinded monitor. 
A randomization code will be computer-generated by a contract research organization (CRO) 
Axio Research LLC.  Subjects meeting the study entry criteria will be randomized via an 
interactive web response system (IWRS).  Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either 
RSLV-132 or Placebo.  The randomization schedule will be generated by the randomization 
statistician at Axio Research (who is not on the project team) or designee and maintained in a 
secure and limited-access location separate from the study investigator and members of the 
project team.  The study subject, investigative staff, the Sponsor, the Sponsor study team 
(includes contractors and vendors), excluding the unblinded study site pharmacist and unblinded 
monitor mentioned above, will be blinded to treatment assignments during the study. 
Except in a medical emergency, the investigator or designee and blinded study site clinical staff 
will remain blinded during the conduct of the study and until database lock.  
If any other unblinding event occurs in addition to the ones mentioned above, it will be 
documented in a separate document other than this SAP.

Sample Size and Power  
The sample size of approximately 50 subjects chosen for this study was based upon precedent set 
by other studies of similar nature and was not based on power calculations.  Therefore no formal 
hypothesis testing will be performed. 
P-values obtained from the analyses, if they are generated, will be used for obtaining information 
only and will be evaluated at the two-sided alpha level of 0.05.

GENERAL CONSIDERATION FOR DATA ANALYSES 
3.1. 
Analysis Sets 
3.1.1. 
Intent-to-Treat Analysis Set   
The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis Set is defined as all subjects who were randomized, 
regardless of whether the subject actually received any study drug (RSLV-132 or Placebo).  The 
subject will be included in the treatment group to which they were randomized. 
3.1.2. 
Full Analysis Set   
The Full Analysis Set (FAS) is a modified ITT and is defined as all subjects randomized who 
received at least one dose of study drug (RSLV-132 or Placebo).  The subject will be included in 
the treatment group to which they were randomized.  The Full Analysis Set is equivalent to the 
Efficacy Analysis Set defined in the study protocol and can be used interchangeably.  For the 
purpose of generating the summary tables and by subject listings under the description of this 
SAP, the term of Full Analysis Set will be used.  
3.1.3. 
Safety Analysis Set   
The Safety Analysis Set (SAS) is defined as all subjects who received any treatment with either 
RSLV-132 or placebo.  
Randomized subjects that receive the incorrect therapy from that intended will be summarized in 
the group according to the therapy actually received.  Subjects who are not randomized but who 
receive treatment or placebo will also be included and summarized according to the therapy 
actually received.  In the unlikely event of a subject commencing one study therapy and crossing 
over to the other, the data for that subject will be included in summaries and analyses with the 
original group.

Statistical Analysis Issues 
3.2.1. 
Strata and Covariates 
There is no stratification and covariate analysis planned for this study.  However, if there is any 
stratification and covariate analysis performed in an ad hoc exploratory nature, it will be noted in 
the final CSR. 
3.2.2. 
Examination of Subject Subsets 
There is no subgroup analysis planned for this study.  However, if there is any subgroup analysis 
performed in an ad hoc exploratory nature, it will be noted in the final CSR. 
3.2.3. 
Multiple Comparisons 
No formal hypothesis testing and no multiple comparisons will be conducted for this study. 
3.2.4. 
Multi-center Studies 
The study will be conducted from approximately 15-20 centers in the United States.  
Randomization to the treatment groups will not be stratified by study site due to small sample 
size.  Subjects from all centers will be pooled for summaries. 
3.2.5. 
Missing Data and Outliers 
Every attempt will be made to capture all study data.  For subjects whose visit value is missing, 
the last observation will be carried forward (LOCF) for the efficacy analyses.  Any missing, 
unused, or spurious data will be noted in the final CSR.   
3.2.6. 
Data Conventions and Transformations  
Laboratory numeric data may be recorded with a ‘<’ or ‘>’ sign (i.e. < 0.1 or > 0.1).  In order to 
summarize the data, the original value will be converted to 0.09 in the case of < 0.1 and to 0.11 
in the case of > 0.1.  The same principle will be used if the data has additional extended 
significant digits.  The actual values will be presented in the data listings.  
3.2.7. 
Study Baseline and Study Day 
Baseline is defined as the last assessment prior to the first dose of study drug (RSLV-132 or 
Placebo) at Day 1.  Measurements that are obtained after the first dose of study drug will be 
considered post-baseline values.    Change from baseline is defined as post-baseline assessment 
minus baseline assessment.

Study day for events on or after the date of the first dose will be defined as the number of days 
from the date of the first dose of study drug, plus 1 day, so that the date of the first dose will be 
defined as Day 1.  For events before the date of the first dose, study day will be calculated as the 
difference in days between the date of the first dose and the date of interest.  Thus, the day before 
the date of the first dose will be defined as Day -1. 
3.2.8. 
Visit Windows  
The case report form nominal visits and visit windows will be used in the summaries.  In general, 
unscheduled visits will not be summarized unless otherwise noted.  
4. 
INTERIM ANALYSIS AND DATA MONITORING COMMITTEE 
There is no interim analysis and data monitoring committee planned for this study. 
5. 
GENERAL ANALYSIS METHODS 
Continuous variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics including number of 
subjects (n), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum.  Categorical 
variables will be summarized using frequencies and percentages.  Percentages will be calculated 
using the total number of subjects in each treatment group for each applicable population and/or 
subpopulation, unless otherwise noted. 
Number of subjects, minimums, and maximums will be calculated to the same number of 
decimal places as the source data.  Means, standard deviations and quartiles will be calculated to 
one more decimal place than the source data.  Percentages will be calculated to one decimal 
place.  Zero count cells will be displayed as “0” with percentage of (0%).  Unless otherwise 
noted, summaries will be performed by the treatment group (Placebo and RSLV-132 10 mg/kg).  
If statistical tests are performed, the tests will be done at the two-sided, 5% significance level to 
compare Placebo vs. RSLV-132 10 mg/kg, unless otherwise specified.  The point estimate and 
95% confidence interval (CI) for the treatment differences may be displayed along with the p-
value for the treatment comparison.  P-values will be presented to three decimal places.  P-values 
< 0.0005 will be presented as < 0.001.  P-values greater than 0.999 will be presented as > 0.999. 
In the absence of any predefined hypotheses in this study, the general strategy of the analysis 
will be to examine the data summaries for any trends amongst the treatment groups.  No formal 
hypothesis testing will be carried out.  P-values obtained from statistical testing of the analyses 
will be used for descriptive purposes only.

All data will be listed. 
9.1. 
Analysis of Primary Efficacy Endpoints 
The primary efficacy endpoints are the improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 85 and 
Baseline to Day 169 CLASI Activity scores. 
CLASI Activity assessment will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits to determine 
the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  The assessment includes each anatomical 
location.  The total score of the Activity subsection (defined as the sum of the scores from each 
anatomical location) will be used in the summary.  The improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to 
Day 85 and from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 169 in the total activity score will be evaluated as part 
of the primary efficacy endpoints.  Lower score represents less disease activity. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values of total Activity score and the change and percent 
change from baseline at each scheduled visit will be summarized.   In addition to the LOCF 
imputation described below, the primary endpoints (change from Baseline on observed values) 
will be analyzed using Mixed effect Model Repeat Measurement (MMRM) method.  The 
MMRM model will include the fixed categorical effects of treatment, random effect visit, and 
treatment-by-visit interaction, as well as continuous fixed covariates of baseline score and 
baseline score-by-visit interaction.  An unstructured covariance structure of random effect will 
be used for modeling the within-subject errors. 
Summary of imputed values: LOCF imputed values and the change and percent change from 
Baseline (Day 1) in the CLASI Activity total score at Days 85 and 169 and at each scheduled 
visit will also be analyzed.  The two-sample t-test will be used for the treatment group 
comparison on the change from Baseline. 
Summary of non-censored values: Non-censored values and LOCF imputed non-censored values 
as well as the change and percent change from Baseline (Day 1) in the CLASI Activity total 
score at Days 85 and 169 and at each scheduled visit will also be analyzed. The two-sample t-test 
will be used for the treatment group comparison on the change from Baseline. The following 
values will be censored based on blinded review before database lock:  
a. Values obtained within 60 days of a steroid (systemic/oral/topical but not 
ophthalmic or inhaled) dose that is increased above baseline for more than one 
day 
b. Addition of other systemic agents for lupus (such as antimalarials, 
methotrexate, rituximab, dapsone)

PGA, and FACIT-Fatigue scores 
• Improvements in tender or swollen joint count (from baseline to Day 85 and Day 169) 
• Reduction in oral steroids at Day 169 relative to Day 85 
• The proportion of subjects achieving a 50% improvement in CLASI Activity score (from 
baseline to Day 85 and Day 169) 
9.2.1. 
SLEDAI-2K 
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index SELENA Modification will be performed 
for each subject at scheduled visits to determine the SLE disease activity for each subject at the 
visit.  The total score (defined as the sum of weights next to descriptors marked present) will be 
summarized.  The improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 85 and from Baseline (Day 1) to 
Day 169 in SLEDAI-2K total scores will be evaluated as part of the secondary efficacy 
endpoints.  Lower score represents less disease activity. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values of total score and the change from baseline at 
each scheduled visit will be summarized.   In addition to the LOCF imputation described below, 
the change from Baseline on observed values will be analyzed using Mixed effect Model Repeat 
Measurement (MMRM) method as described in the SAP Section 9.1. 
Summary of imputed values: Imputed values and the change from Baseline (Day 1) in the 
SLEDAI-2K total score at each scheduled visit will also be analyzed.  The two-sample t-test will 
be used for the treatment group comparison on the change from Baseline.  LOCF will be used to 
impute missing values on the FAS. 
9.2.2. 
BILAG-2004 
BILAG-2004 Index Assessment will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits to 
determine the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  The assessment includes 
subsections of Constitutional, Mucocutaneous, Neuropsychiatry, Musculoskeletal, 
Cardiorespiratory, Gastrointestinal, Ophthalmic, Renal and Hematological.  Each subsection will 
be scored with Category of Zero or Non-Zero for analysis.  Any category checked other than 
“Not Present” or “Not Done” will be treated as the Non-Zero category except for the Renal and 
Hematology panels.  The category of Zero or Non-Zero will be presented in the summary.  The 
improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 85 and from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 169 in 
BILAG-2004 Index Assessment category of Zero or Non-Zero will be evaluated as part of the

March 10, 2020 
secondary efficacy endpoints.  Zero category represents no disease activity present for the body 
system.  The detailed specifications of Zero or Non-Zero category rules for the Renal and 
Hematology panels will be stated in the analysis dataset specification document rather than in 
this SAP”. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values of the Zero and Non-Zero categories and the 
change from baseline at each scheduled visit (indicated by a shift from the baseline category) 
will be summarized for each subsection.  The percentages will be calculated based on the actual 
number of subjects at each visit in each treatment group of the FAS.  No statistical testing will be 
performed. 
Summary of imputed values: Imputed values of the Zero and Non-Zero categories and the 
change from Baseline (Day 1) for the BILAG-2004 Index Assessment at each scheduled visit 
(indicated by a shift from the baseline category) will be summarized for each subsection.  LOCF 
will be used to impute missing values on the FAS.  No statistical testing will be performed. 
9.2.3. 
PGA 
Physicians Global Assessment will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits to 
determine the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  The assessment is measured on a 
0 to 100 Millimeter (mm) scale with score 0 to be No Disease Activity and score 100 to be the 
most Severe Disease Activity.  The improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 85 and from 
Baseline (Day 1) to Day 169 in PGA scores will be evaluated as part of the secondary efficacy 
endpoints. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values and the change from baseline at each scheduled 
visit will be summarized.   In addition to the LOCF imputation described below, the change from 
Baseline will be analyzed using Mixed effect Model Repeat Measurement (MMRM) method as 
described in the SAP Section 9.1. 
Summary of imputed values: Imputed values and the change from Baseline (Day 1) in the PGA 
score at each scheduled visit will also be analyzed.  The two-sample t-test will be used for the 
treatment group comparison on the change from Baseline.  LOCF will be used to impute missing 
values on the FAS. 
9.2.4. 
FACIT-Fatigue Scale 
FACIT-Fatigue Scale assessment is a subject reported outcome.  It will be performed by each 
subject at scheduled visits to determine the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  The 
improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 85 and from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 169 in 


Statistical Analysis Plan 
Resolve Therapeutics, Inc. 
 
Final 3.0 
Page 25 of 37 
March 10, 2020 
FACIT-Fatigue assessment total scores will be evaluated as part of the secondary efficacy 
endpoints. 
FACIT-Fatigue assessment has 13 questions and is measured with scores of 0 (Not at all), 1 (A 
little bit), 2 (Somewhat), 3 (Quite a bit) or 4 (Very much).  All FACIT-Fatigue scales are scored 
so that a higher score is better.  As each of the 13 items of the FACIT-Fatigue scale ranges from 
0-4, the range of possible scores is 0-52, with 0 being the worst possible score and 52 the best.  
To obtain the 0-52 score, each negatively-worded item response is recoded so that 0 is a bad 
response and 4 is good response.  All responses are added with equal weight to obtain the total 
score.  In cases where some answers may be missing, a total score is prorated from the scores of 
answered items, as long as more than 50% of the items (i.e., at least 7 of 13) were answered.  
If there are missing items, subscale scores can be prorated.  This is done by multiplying the sum 
of the subscale by the number of items in the subscale, then dividing by the number of items 
actually answered.  This can be done by using the formula below: 
Prorated subscale score = [Sum of item scores] x [N of items in subscale] / [N of items 
answered]  
A computer program written in SAS for the FACIT-Fatigue Scale scoring is available in 
Appendix I of the SAP. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values of total score and the change from baseline at 
each scheduled visit will be summarized.   In addition to the LOCF imputation described below, 
the change from Baseline on observed values will be analyzed using Mixed effect Model Repeat 
Measurement (MMRM) method as described in the SAP Section 9.1. 
Summary of imputed values: Imputed values and the change from Baseline (Day 1) in the 
FACIT-Fatigue Scale total score at each scheduled visit will also be analyzed.  The two-sample 
t-test will be used for the treatment group comparison on the change from Baseline.  LOCF will 
be used to impute missing values on the FAS. 
Summary of non-censored values: Non-censored values and LOCF imputed non-censored values 
as well as the change and percent change from Baseline (Day 1) in the FACIT-Fatigue Scale 
total score at Days 85 and 169 and at each scheduled visit will also be analyzed. The two-sample 
t-test will be used for the treatment group comparison on the change from Baseline. The 
following values will be censored based on blinded review before database lock:  
a. Values obtained within 60 days of a steroid (systemic/oral/topical but not 
ophthalmic or inhaled) dose that is increased above baseline for more than one 
day

9.2.5. 
Tender and Swollen Joint Count 
Tender and swollen joint count assessment will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits 
to determine the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  Tender and swollen joint 
count assessment includes total of 28 joints (left and right metacarpalphalangeal joints and 
proximal interphylangeal joints, wrist, elbow, shoulder and knee).  The total Tender and Swollen 
Joint Count will be summarized.  The improvements from Baseline (Day 1) to Day 85 and from 
Baseline (Day 1) to Day 169 in tender and swollen total joint count will be evaluated as part of 
the secondary efficacy endpoints.  Lower joint count represents less disease activity. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values of total tender and swollen joint count and the 
change from baseline at each scheduled visit will be summarized.   In addition to the LOCF 
imputation described below, the change from Baseline on observed values will be analyzed using 
Mixed effect Model Repeat Measurement (MMRM) method as described in the SAP Section 9.1. 
Summary of imputed values: Imputed values and the change from Baseline (Day 1) in the tender 
and swollen total joint count at each scheduled visit will also be analyzed.  The two-sample t-test 
will be used for the treatment group comparison on the change from Baseline.  LOCF will be 
used to impute missing values on the FAS. 
9.2.6. 
Oral Steroids Tapering 
One of the objectives of the study is to evaluate the steroid sparing effects of RSLV-132.  The 
Investigators shall decrease the use of oral corticosteroids beginning on Day 85 using the 
guidance stated under SAP Section 2.3.4.1.  No further steroid decreases should occur from Day 
141 through Day 169.  The reduction in oral steroids at Day 169 relative to Day 85 will be 
evaluated as part of the secondary efficacy endpoints. 
Summary of observed values: (1) For those who were on any oral corticosteroids at Day 85, 
observed of corticosteroids dose values and the change from Day 85 at Day 169 will be 
summarized.  (2) For those who were on any oral corticosteroids with >7.5 mg/day at Day 85, 
observed of corticosteroids dose values and the change from Day 85 at Day 169 will be 
summarized. 
The summary of (1) or (2) will only be performed if there are 25% or more of the subjects in the 
RSLV-132 group were on any oral corticosteroids at Day 85 or were on any oral corticosteroids 
with >7.5 mg/day at Day 85 respectively.  No statistical testing will be performed.

CLASI Activity Score Improvement 
CLASI Activity assessment will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits to determine 
the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  The assessment includes each anatomical 
location.  Proportion of subjects achieving a 50% improvement (decrease) in CLASI total 
Activity score (defined as the sum of the scores from each anatomical location) will be evaluated 
as part of the secondary efficacy endpoints. 
Summary of observed values: The number and percentage of subjects achieving a 50% 
improvement in CLASI Activity subsection score from baseline at each scheduled visit will be 
summarized.  The percentages will be calculated based on the actual number of subjects at each 
visit in each treatment group of the FAS.  No statistical testing will be performed. 
Summary of imputed values: The number and percentage of subjects achieving a 50% 
improvement in CLASI Activity subsection score from baseline at each scheduled visit will also 
be analyzed on the imputed values.  Fisher’s exact test will be used for the treatment group 
comparison.  LOCF will be used to impute missing values on the FAS.

Exploratory Efficacy Analysis 
The exploratory efficacy analysis are to evaluate the changes from Baseline (Day 1) as compared 
to Placebo on the following measurements: 
• Evaluate the difference on the autoantibody and complement profiles between the two 
treatment groups 
• Evaluate the differences on the gene expression profiles and the serum protein levels 
between the two treatment groups. 
• Compare the mean improvement (from Baseline to Day 85; or Baseline to Day 169 in 
CLASI damage scores of those randomized to be treated with RSLV-132 and those 
randomized to receive placebo. 
9.3.1. 
Autoantibody and Complement Profiles 
Serum samples will be analyzed by either a local or central laboratory using validated methods.  
The analysis will provide values for the following autoantibodies and indicate if the result is 
positive, negative, or equivocal using the validated assay range for the testing laboratory: Ro-
52/60, La, Sm, SmRNP, U1 RNP A/68, dsDNA.  The summary of actual values of these tests 
will also be provided.  Complement C3 and C4 values will also be summarized. 
Summary of observed values: Observed values, change from baseline and a shift from baseline 
categories at each scheduled visit of autoantibody profile will be summarized.  The percentages 
will be calculated based on the actual number of subjects at each visit in each treatment group of 
the FAS.  No statistical testing will be performed.

genes that are related to inflammatory pathways though to be involved in SLE.  Samples will be 
obtained at selected visits during the study from Baseline to the End of Study visit.  The analysis 
of gene expression profiles will be performed elsewhere and will not be a part of this SAP. 
9.3.3. 
Serum Protein Levels 
Serum samples will be obtained at various visits during the study to analyze the level of 
circulating serum proteins.  The protein analysis will measure protein levels related to the 
inflammatory process.  The analysis will be carried out using a multiplexed immunoassay.  The 
analysis of serum protein levels will be performed elsewhere and will not be a part of this SAP. 
9.3.4. 
CLASI Damage Score 
CLASI Damage assessment will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits to determine 
the SLE disease activity for each subject at the visit.  The assessment includes each anatomical 
location.  The total score of the Damage subsection (defined as the sum of the scores from each 
anatomical location) will be used in the summary.  
Summary of observed values: Observed values of total Damage score and the change from 
baseline at each scheduled visits will be summarized.  No statistical testing will be performed.   
10. 
SAFETY ANALYSES 
The safety assessment of the treatment will be compared between the two groups by adverse 
events and laboratory results as well as any physical findings that have changed from baseline.  
The safety analysis will include adverse events, concomitant medications, laboratory data, vital 
signs and immunogenicity of RSLV-132.   
All data will be summarized as observed and no data imputation will be performed. 
10.1. 
Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA 
version 19.0 or higher) adverse event dictionary.  If a subject experiences multiple events that 
map to a single preferred term, the greatest severity (by grade) and strongest investigator 
assessment of relationship to study drug will be reported for the applicable summaries.  
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) are defined as events for which the date of onset is 
on or after the date of first dose of study drug (RSLV-132 or Placebo).  Where an adverse event

March 10, 2020 
(AE) collected after the date of first dose with a partially or fully missing start date or time, and it 
is unclear as to whether the AE is treatment emergent, it will be assumed that it is treatment 
emergent. 
The number and percentage of subjects with adverse events will be summarized by treatment 
group.  The percentages will be calculated based on the number of subjects in each treatment 
group of the SAS.  System organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT) within each SOC will be 
presented in descending frequency of RSLV-132 group.  Subjects will be counted only once for 
each SOC and PT. 
All adverse events (treatment-emergent and non-treatment-emergent) will be listed.  
10.1.1. 
 Overall Adverse Events 
The number and percentage of subjects with at least one treatment-emergent adverse event will 
be summarized for the following:  
• Subjects with any treatment-emergent adverse event 
• Subjects with severe (Grade 3+) treatment-emergent adverse event 
• Subjects with any study drug related treatment-emergent adverse event  
• Any treatment-emergent adverse event leading to study drug discontinuation / study 
termination    
• Subjects with any treatment-emergent serious adverse event 
• Subjects with any study drug related treatment-emergent serious adverse event 
• Subjects with outcome of death 
10.1.2. 
 Incidence of Adverse Events 
Subjects with at least one treatment-emergent adverse event will be summarized by SOC, PT, 
and by treatment group.  The incidence rate (IR) of the event per 100 patient years for each SOC 
and PT as well as the overall patient years of each treatment group will be calculated.  IR of the 
event per 100 patient years will be calculated as (Total # of Events/Patient Year)*100].  Patient 
year will be calculated as the (Total study drug exposure / 365.25).  Total study drug exposure 
will be defined as the sum of [(Last visit date – First dose date) + 1]. 
Treatment-emergent adverse event summary by PT with descending order of frequency in the 
RSLV-132 group will also be presented by treatment group.

Relationship of Adverse Event to Study Drug 
Treatment-emergent adverse events with closest relationship to study drug according to the 
categories specified in the protocol (Not Related, Possibly Related and Definitely Related) will 
be summarized for related events by SOC, PT, and treatment group. 
A study drug related AE is defined as any AE that is assessed by the investigator with the 
relationships of “Possibly Related” and “Definitely Related”.  Study drug non-related AE is 
defined as any AE that assessed by investigator with the relationships of “Not Related”. 
Any treatment-emergent AEs that have a missing relationship will be presented in the summary 
table as “Related” but will be presented in the data listing with a missing relationship. 
10.1.4. 
Severity of Adverse Event 
Treatment-emergent adverse events with maximum investigator-reported severity ( Grade 1-
Mild, Grade 2-Moderate, Grade 3-Severe, Grade 4-Life Threatening and Grade 5-Fatal) will be 
summarized by SOC, PT, and treatment group. 
Any treatment-emergent AEs that have a missing severity will be presented in the summary table 
with Toxicity Grade 4 but will be presented in the data listing with a missing severity. 
10.1.5. 
Serious Adverse Events 
All treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs) will be summarized by SOC, PT, and by 
treatment group.   
A summary of study drug related treatment-emergent SAEs by SOC, PT, and treatment group 
will also be presented. 
10.1.6. 
Adverse Events Leading to Hospitalization / Study Drug Discontinuation / Study 
Termination 
All treatment-emergent adverse events that lead to either required or prolonged inpatient 
hospitalization or study drug discontinuation or study termination will be summarized by SOC, 
PT, and by treatment group. 
10.2. 
Laboratory and Other Safety Assessments 
Each assessment will be summarized descriptively by treatment groups on the SAS.  For 
assessments not measured at Baseline (Day 1) pre-dose, Screening Visit value will be used as the 
baseline.  No missing data imputation will be used.

Resolve Therapeutics, Inc. 
 
Final 3.0 
Page 32 of 37 
March 10, 2020 
All data will be listed.  
10.2.1. 
Laboratory Blood and Urine Samples 
Laboratory hematology, serum chemistry and urinalysis samples will be collected for each 
subject at scheduled visits for safety evaluations.  The laboratory test parameters are listed in the 
Protocol Appendix B.  The samples are analyzed by a central laboratory. 
Observed values and the change from Baseline (Day 1) at each visit will be summarized for the 
continuous values.  Number and percentage of subjects in each category will be summarized for 
the categorical values.  In addition, the number and percentage of subjects who have the lab 
results that are noted to be “Clinically Significant” by the investigator will be summarized.  The 
percentages will be calculated based on the actual number of subjects at each visit in each 
treatment group of the SAS.  Grade 3 or higher lab toxicity (based on Rheumatology CTC Grade 
System) during the study will also be summarized. 
Serum and urine pregnancy tests are for women of childbearing potential only.  Serum 
pregnancy test will be performed at Screening Visit and Day 215 (EOS).  The samples are 
analyzed by a central laboratory.  The urine pregnancy test will be done at Baseline (Day 1) only 
and will be performed at each study site.  Serum and urine pregnancy test data will be listed only. 
10.2.2. 
Hepatitis and HIV Tests 
Test for Hepatitis B, C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral load will be performed 
for each subject at Screening Visit.  The results will be listed only.  
10.2.3. 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs will be evaluated for each subject at scheduled visits for systolic and diastolic blood 
pressure (SBP and DBP, mmHg), pulse rate (beats per minute [bpm]), respiratory rate (RR, 
breaths per minute [bpm]), and oral temperature (Fahrenheit °F).   
Observed values and the change from Baseline (Day 1) at each visit will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics.  Temperatures in Celsius (°C) will be reported for the summary.  
Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion °C = (°F - 32) x 5/9 will be used. 
10.2.4. 
Physical Exam 
Physical exam will be performed for each subject at scheduled visits.  Number and percentage of 
subjects in each body site system of Normal/Abnormal (Non-Clinically Significant [NCS] or 
Clinically Significant [CS] determinate by the investigator) category will be summarized.  The 


Statistical Analysis Plan 
Resolve Therapeutics, Inc. 
 
Final 3.0 
Page 33 of 37 
March 10, 2020 
percentages of Normal/Abnormal results will be calculated based on the actual number of 
subjects at each visit in each treatment group of the SAS.   
Abnormality changes from Baseline (Day 1) in terms of NCS or CS at each post-baseline visit 
will be summarized in the categories of (New, Unchanged, Worsened, or Improved).  New is 
defined as an abnormal result in the post-baseline visit compare to the normal result at baseline.  
Unchanged is defined as the same abnormal result in both the post-baseline visit and the 
baseline.  Worsened is defined as an abnormal CS result in the post-baseline visit compare to the 
abnormal NCS result at baseline.  Improved is defined as an abnormal NCS result in the post-
baseline visit compare to the abnormal CS result at baseline or a normal result in the post-
baseline visit compare to the abnormal (NCS or CS) result at baseline. 
 
10.3. 
Immunogenicity Analyses 
Serum will be analyzed for the presence of anti-RSLV 132 antibodies using a validated 
immunoassay.  Each positive serum sample will be evaluated for anti-drug antibodies (ADA) 
specificity by repeating the immunoassay in the presence of an excess of RSLV-132.  Confirmed 
positive, specific serum samples will be titered by serial dilution and a numerical titer will be 
assigned.  The immunogenicity of RSLV-132 as measured by the presence of RSLV-132 
antibodies will be evaluated as part of the safety endpoints. 
The serum samples for evaluating ADA will be collected for each subject at scheduled visits.  To 
assess immunogenicity, the number and percent of positive and negative results will be 
summarized descriptively by treatment groups on the SAS.  The percentages will be calculated 
based on the number of subjects in each treatment group with samples available at each visit. 
11. 
PHARMACOKINETIC ANALYSES 
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters will be calculated for each subject, whenever possible, based 
on the serum concentrations of RSLV-132.  RSLV-132 drug concentration levels will be 
summarized if it is available. The analysis of PK parameters will be performed elsewhere and 
will not be part of this SAP.
