Conditions: Hypogonadism, Male
Sponsor: Marius Pharmaceuticals
Start date: 2017-07-05; Completion date: 2020-05-01
Enrollment: 314 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
This will be a randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled, efficacy, and safety study in adult hypogonadal men. The study duration is 12 months (365 days), including a 90-day, open-label efficacy period and a 9-month (275-day) safety evaluation period.

Detailed description:
MRS-TU-2019 was a 12-month study designed to determine the efficacy of oral SOV2012-F1 as measured by the percentage of male hypogonadal subjects with average total testosterone (T Cavg) in plasma within the normal range after 90 days of treatment. This study included an AndroGel™ arm as a safety comparator; after the 90-day efficacy period, dosing continued for 9 additional months in both arms to gather safety data. This study also examined the percentage of SOV2012-F1-treated subjects with maximum total testosterone (Cmax) in plasma values after 90 days of treatment: a. ≤1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN); b. 1.8 X ULN to 2.5 X ULN' and c. \>2.5 X ULN. The study also included an adrenal cortical function substudy conducted in 30 SOV2012-F1 subjects and 15 AndroGel subjects. Four patient-reported outcome measures were also used during the study: IPSS, PDQ, SF-36 and IIEF.

Arms: arm 1: 200 patients treated with SOV2012-F1, starting dose of 600 mg - (400 mg with morning meal and 200 mg with evening meal). Dose titrated on Days 28 and 56 up to a maximum of 600 mg TU in the morning and 400 mg in the evening or down to 200 mg TU in the morning based on plasma T at Days 14 and 42. arm 2: 100 patients treated with AndroGel, starting dose of 40.5 mg QD. Dose titrated according to approved label, using samples from Days 14 and 42 and dose adjustments on Days 28 and 56.
Interventions: intervention 1: SOV2012-F1 intervention 2: AndroGel
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: oral preparation of testosterone undecanoate (TU) intervention 2: topical testosterone gel 1.62%

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
3.3.1.
MRS-TU-2019
This study is a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled, efficacy and safety study in 
adult hypogonadal men. The study duration is 12 months (365 days), including a 90-day, open-label
efficacy period and a 9-month (275-day) safety evaluation period.
Eligible subjects will be randomized 2:1 (approximately 200 SOV2012-F1–treated subjects to 100 
AndroGel-treated subjects, respectively) and stratified by study center to receive SOV2012-F1 with 
morning and evening meals, or AndroGel, a commonly prescribed topical T replacement product. Both 
treatments will be continued for the 12-month study duration.
SOV2012-F1 will be started at a total daily dose of 600 mg (400 mg with the morning meal and 200 mg 
with the evening meal). The plasma T concentration between 3 to 5 hours after the morning dose at Visit 
4, Day 14 and Visit 6, Day 42 will determine the need, if any, to titrate the dose up or down by 200 mg at 
Visit 5, Day 28 and Visit 7, Day 56, respectively. The minimum dose of SOV2012-F1 will be 200 mg with 
the morning meal and no evening dose. The maximum dose of SOV2012-F1 will be 1000 mg (600 mg with 
the morning meal and 400 mg with the evening meal).
AndroGel will be applied at a starting dose of 40.5 mg QD. The serum T predose concentration (T Cpredose)
from a single blood draw at Day 14 and Day 42 will determine the need, if any, to titrate per the product 
information (Section 16.4 of study protocol) at Day 28 and Day 56, respectively. 
The final doses established in the efficacy period for SOV2012-F1 and AndroGel will be used at the start 
of the 9-month safety evaluation period. The dose of SOV2012-F1 may be up- or down-titrated on Day 180 
and Day 270 based on the plasma T concentration from a single blood draw within 3 to 5 hours after the 
morning dose on Day 166 and Day 256, respectively. Single blood draw serum T concentrations predose at 
Day 166 and Day 256 will be used for AndroGel dose titration at Day 180 and Day 270, respectively, per 
product information. 
To determine any effect of the phytosterols in SOV2012-F1 on adrenal cortical function, ACTH stimulation 
testing will be performed and the serum cortisol response to synthetic ACTH will be measured at baseline 
(Visit 3) and the End-of-Treatment visit in a subset of subjects. At randomization, 45 subjects (2:1 ratio of 
SOV2012-F1 to AndroGel subjects) will be enrolled to the ACTH sub-study to ensure 30 subjects are 
available for assessment at the End of Treatment (EOT) visit (Day 365). Synthetic ACTH1-24 (cosyntropin)

will be administered to these subjects intravenously at Time 0 and blood for serum cortisol will be obtained 
before and 30 and 60 minutes after cosyntropin administration.
The schema in Figure 1 and Figure 2 depict the plan described in the protocol for the SOV2012-F1 and 
the AndroGel groups, respectively.
If analysis of the Day 90 24-hour PK data reveals that a subject is on an incorrect dose, withdrawal or
titration of the subject may be appropriate in the following instances: 
x
A SOV2012-F1–treated subject has been previously down-titrated to 200 mg in the morning only, 
and T Cmax is >2500 ng/dL on Day 90: the subject will be withdrawn, as continuation in the study 
will expose the subject to repeated T Cmax values >2500 ng/dL.
x
A SOV2012-F1–treated subject has been up-titrated to 1000 mg, and T Cavg is below the normal 
range on Day 90: the subject may be withdrawn if, in the opinion of the investigator, continuation 
in the study would expose the subject to an investigational treatment without probability of 
successful treatment.
x
If a SOV2012-F1–treated subject has T Cavg below the normal range (2.5% percentile) on Day 90:
the subject may be dose-titrated at an unscheduled visit, if the efficacy period data suggests benefit 
to the subject and an acceptable safety profile.
Subjects who discontinue study drug will be asked to complete the procedures of an EOT visit.

MRS-TU-2019EXT
Study MRS-TU-2019EXT is a second study following MRS-TU-2019. One purpose is to further examine 
the BP effects of Marius’s oral TU formulation, SOV2012-F1, using 24-hour ABPM. Another primary 
objective will be to demonstrate the feasibility of using a lower starting dose of SOV2012-F1 (daily dose 
of 400 mg [200 mg with breakfast meal and 200mg with dinner meal]), revised titration thresholds and 
using strengths of 100, 150 and 200 mg TU to further enhance drug administration. To distinguish the two 
studies, study days and visits in MRS-TU-2019EXT are designated with ‘E’, e.g. Day 120E or Visit14E or 
V14E.
Eligible subjects will include up to approximately 170 men who complete the 52-week MRS-TU-2019
study and are willing to consent to participate in the MRS-TU-2019EXT study. Eligible men who have

consented to this MRS-TU-2019EXT study will be withdrawn from TRT for a minimum of 8 weeks 
following their conclusion of MRS-TU-2019. 
Continuing Subjects:
Subjects completing the MRS-TU-2019 study and going directly into 
MRS-TU-2019EXT complete the MRS-TU-2019EXT study defined 8-week washout and begin a total of 
180 days of treatment on SOV2012-F1.  These subjects have an initial ABPM assessment on Day 364/365 
of MRS-TU-2019.  
Late Entry Subjects: Subjects who completed Day 365 in MRS-TU-2019 prior to the start of MRS-TU-
2019EXT, may enroll in MRS-TU-2019EXT, bypassing the Day 364-365 ABPM assessment. These late 
entry subjects will still be required to have an 8-week washout period, beginning at time of consent. Any 
interim TRT between time of completion of MRS-TU-2019 and consent for MRS-TU-2019EXT, must be 
recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). These subjects must pass the ABPM evaluation at V7E/ 
Day 1E to continue in the ABPM MRS-TU-2019EXT study. 
Newly Enrolling Subjects: Enrollment of subjects naïve to MRS-TU-2019 or subjects who completed the 
MRS-TU-2019 study more than 8 weeks prior to the start of MRS-TU-2019EXT will be permitted at a few 
sites in order to maximize enrollment for MRS-TU-2019EXT, provided those subjects meet both the MRS-
TU-2019 and MRS-TU-2019EXT eligibility criteria. These subjects would be required to consent and then 
complete screening assessments of the Screening Visit 1 (EXT) and Screening Visit 2 (EXT), for 
assessments consistent with the MRS-TU-2019 protocol, prior to being enrolled into MRS-TU-2019EXT. 
See Table 4: Schedule of Assessments for ABPM MRS-TU-2019EXT Study Pre-treatment Period for 
Newly Enrolled Subjects (MRS-TU-2019 Naïve or Late Entry Subjects who Qualify for New Enrollment).
These subjects must pass the ABPM evaluation at V7E/ Day 1E to continue in the ABPM MRS-TU-
2019EXT study.
During the 180-day treatment period, subjects will be titrated up or down, if necessary, over the first 4 to 8 
weeks (28 to 56 days) of the treatment period using a refined dose-titration algorithm (Appendix 16.2).
Subjects will stay on their final dose from Day 28 or Day 56, through Day 180, the completion of the ABPM 
study. ABPM will be conducted 3-4 times during the MRS-TU-2019EXT study depending on whether the 
subject is a Continuing Subject, or is a Late Entry Subject, or a Newly Enrolled Subject. Continuing 
Subjects will have an ABPM at Day 364/365 (EOT) of MRS-TU-2019 study; all MRS-TU-2019EXT 
subjects will have ABPM assessments at Day 1E (prior to treatment), at Day 120E and at Day 180E of 
treatment. The Day 180E (6-month) visit will provide data on stabilization of ambulatory BP, following the 
Day 120E (4-month) data for ambulatory BP primary endpoint. Note that in this SAP, ambulatory refers to 
ABPM.
24-hr Serum T and DHT Sub-study:
At select centers, approximately 100 subjects will participate in a 24-hr serum T sample collection sub-
study conducted at Visit 12E. Subjects enrolled in the serum T sub-study should have serum T samples 
drawn at all PK timepoints: pre-morning dose and 1.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13.5, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 24 
hours after a.m. dose.

DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
3.5.1.
MRS-TU-2019
To meet the criterion of the primary endpoint, the percentage of subjects with T Cavg within the normal 
range at Day 90 must be ≥75%, with the lower bound of the 95% CI ≥65%. Based on the results of the 
Phase 2b clinical study, Study SOV-TU-PK20131, approximately 86% of subjects may be expected to have 
a T Cavg within the normal range at Day 90. The 95% CI associated with different point estimate 
assumptions are shown in Table 1 below. To yield a conservative estimate of the required sample size, the 
true percentage of subjects with average concentration (Cavg) within the normal range is estimated at 75%.

3.5.2.
MRS-TU-2019EXT
The estimated SD of the differences in the 24-hour mean sBP obtained at 90 days post-treatment and after 
8 weeks of drug washout is 10 mmHg (SD estimate obtained from Clarus Briefing Document4, p. 62).
Assuming that we will have approximately 135 evaluable subjects, this sample size of 135 subjects can
produce a two-sided 90% CI with a distance from the difference in means to the limits that is equal to 1.4 
mmHg when the estimated SD is 10 mmHg.
Furthermore, a sample size of 119 evaluable subjects achieves 90% power to detect non-inferiority using a 
one-sided one-sample t-test when the non-inferiority margin is 3.0 mmHg, the actual mean is 0, and the 
significance level (alpha) of the test is 0.025. Assuming a 10% unevaluable rate, 133 subjects would need 
to be enrolled to achieve 119 evaluable.
With respect to sample size justification of Cavg, please refer to Section 3.5.1. Since the intended number of 
evaluable subjects for the MRS-TU-2019EXT study is greater than the 125 targeted in the MRS-TU-2019
study, the MRS-TU-2019EXT study should have adequate number of subjects to achieve the objectives 
regarding the endpoints of Cavg and Cmax.
For the serum T and DHT sub-study, serum samples will be collected from approximately 100 subjects 
with respect to Day 90E within the MRS-TU-2019EXT study. This will be done using all consenting 
subjects within a subset of sites (sites to be chosen by the sponsor).
3.6.
TREATMENT ASSIGNMENT & BLINDING
Subjects eligible for MRS-TU-2019 will be randomized 2:1 (approximately 200 SOV2012-F1-treated 
subjects to 100 AndroGel-treated subjects, respectively) using an interactive web randomization system 
and stratified by study center to receive SOV2012-F1 or AndroGel. At randomization, 45 subjects (2:1 ratio 
of SOV2012-F1 to AndroGel subjects) will be enrolled into the ACTH sub-study. At Screening Visit 1, 
subjects will be offered the opportunity to participate in the ACTH stimulation sub-study. The informed 
consent form addendum for the ACTH sub-study will be signed by Visit 2.
In MRS-TU-2019EXT, all subjects will receive SOV2012-F1, starting at a total daily dose of 400 mg (200 
mg with the breakfast meal and 200 mg with the dinner meal) and titrated, if needed, according to the dose-
titration algorithm established for the MRS-TU-2019EXT study protocol (Appendix 16.2).
Blinding is not applicable (N/A); these are open-label studies.
3.7.
ADMINISTRATION OF STUDY DRUG
MRS-TU-2019 uses only SOV2012-F1 200 mg TU capsules, with a starting total daily dose of 600 mg
(400 mg with morning meal, 200 mg with evening meal). Subjects will be instructed to take the SOV2012-
F1 capsules with water 30 minutes after the start of their meal.

MRS-TU-2019EXT uses three capsule strengths (100, 150 and 200 mg TU per capsule), with a starting 
total daily dose of 400 mg (200 mg with the breakfast meal and 200 mg with dinner meal). Subjects will be
instructed to take the SOV2012-F1 capsules with water 30 minutes after the start of their meal.
In Study MRS-TU-2019, subjects randomized to AndroGel will be instructed to apply the gel topically in 
the morning to the shoulders and upper arms, starting at 2 pump actuations (40.5 mg).

on Visits 1E, 6E, 13E and 15E, after applying ABPM cuff. Breakfast (ASA24-assigned) and lunch (normal fat or lunch of choice) are to be provided on Visit 8E and Visit 10E. Lunch
should be given approximately 4 hours after
morning dose.
o.
Provide all 3 meals. Breakfast and dinner should be based on subjects’ ASA24 records (all lunches are to be chosen from normal fat menu or subject may have selection
of choice)
and record meals, meal fat type, and the percentage of meal consumed (0, 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%). Lunch should be given approximately 4 hours after
dose.
p.
Perform an accountability check for any remaining study drug.
q.
If both the initial and repeat 24-hr ABPM assessment session at V7E/ Day 1E, the subject should be withdrawn from MRS-TU-2019EXT study.
r.
If ABPM data download quality equals “fail” status, subject may repeat the ABPM evaluation within 2 days. The subject can be sent home with the ABPM cuff for another 24-hr 
period of collection and return at the completion of the repeat 24-hr recording session, in which case the V2E / D365 or V7E / D1E visit will be delayed (to occur up to 2 days later 
than planned, using the longer “+” window). At Visit 14E (day 120) and Visit 16E (Day 180), a repeat 24-hr assessment may be attempted a second time at the discretion of the 
Investigator. As a reminder, if a second repeat is scheduled the subject must fast the night before.
s.
Late entry MRS-TU-2019EXT subjects who do not qualify for new enrollment: Subjects who already completed D365 of the MRS-TU-2019 study prior to the start of 
MRS-TU-2019EXT, ,may provide informed consent and enter the EXT study after the D364-365 requirements. These subjects will still be required to begin an additional 8-week 
washout period from the time of consenting Visit 3E should occur 28 days (4 weeks) from time of consent. ABPM SUBJECT TRAINING SHOULD OCCUR IN THIS 
INSTANCE, ON V6E.

study drug (including synthetic ACTH1-24 [cosyntropin]) and who had serum cortisol results at Visit 3 and 
Day 365 (end of treatment).
5.2.
MRS-TU-2019EXT ANALYSIS SETS
5.2.1.
Subject Sources
Continuing
Subjects completing the MRS-TU-2019 study and going directly into MRS-TU-2019EXT, completing the 
MRS-TU-2019EXT study defined 8-week washout, and beginning a total of 180 days of treatment on 
SOV2012-F1. These subjects will have participated in a Day 364/365 (Visit 1E) ABPM assessment.
These subjects must have a successful ABPM assessment at Visit 6E/7E to continue in the study.
Late Entry
Subjects having a gap between completion of MRS-TU-2019 and entry into the MRS-TU-2019EXT 
study who will complete 8 weeks of washout from time of consent and then begin 180 days of treatment 
on SOV2012-F1.  These subjects completed Day 365 in MRS-TU-2019 prior to the start of MRS-TU-
2019EXT thus bypassing the Day 364/365 ABPM MRS-TU-2019EXT study assessment.
New Enrollment
These are subjects naïve to MRS-TU-2019 or subjects who have completed the MRS-TU-2019 study 
more than 8 weeks prior to the start of MRS-TU-2019EXT. These subjects would need to complete
Screening Visit 1 (EXT) and Screening Visit 2 (EXT) prior to being enrolled into MRS-TU-2019EXT.
5.2.2.
Extension Treated Set (EXTS)
The EXTS will include all subjects who took at least one dose of SOV2012-F1 within MRS-TU-2019EXT.
This analysis set will be used for all analyses related to the ambulatory BP, and the ambulatory HR.
Modified EXTS (mEXTS)
The modified EXTS consists of the EXTS excluding Site 104.  Reasons for excluding Site 104 are 
documented in Appendix 16.4. This analysis set will be used for the primary analysis of Cavg, and the
analysis of Cmax

Data Review Meeting (DRM)
A review of all PDs from MRS-TU-2019 and MRS-TU-2019EXT will be performed on an ongoing basis 
to categorize each one as significant (with a potential impact on the efficacy and/or PK evaluation) or not 
significant and identify the subjects that should be excluded from any of the relevant analysis sets. Each 
PD will be assigned as significant or not significant by the Study Management Team, in cooperation with
Data Management, Biostatistics, Medical Monitoring, and the Sponsor. These data will then be imported 
into SAS®.
All decisions made at the DRM will be documented in the DRM highlights. The final list of PDs including 
the decisions on analysis sets made in the meeting will be appended to the highlights. Approval of the DRM

Not receiving any study drug on a 24-hour PK visit.
x
Any use of Anabolic Steroid or Anti-androgens for more than 7 days or within 14 days before a 
24-hour PK visit.

AndroGel subject missing 2 samples out of the 2-hour, 4-hour and 8-hour samples at confinement 
Visit 8.
x
Use of GI medications/protein pump inhibitors within 48 hours before a 24-hour PK visit did not 
exclude the relevant 24-hour PK visit data.
Confinement-visit specific PK concentration data from subjects within the PKS and/or ECS will be 
programmatically excluded from summary tables, summary figures, and statistical analyses if the subject 
did not receive any study drug prior to the planned sampling of the concentration profile. 
Confinement-visit specific PK parameter data from subjects within the PKS and/or ECS will be 
programmatically excluded from summary tables, summary figures, and statistical analyses if the 
concentration profile was not evaluable per the outcome of the DRM or the subject did not receive any 
study drug prior to the planned sampling of the concentration profile.
No individual confinement-visit specific PK concentration or PK parameter data will be programmatically 
excluded from summary tables, summary figures, or statistical analyses for subjects within the FAS.
GI and urological surgery for SOV2012-F1 subjects were assessed on a case-by-case basis (whether having 
occurred prior to study entry or on study).
Prohibited natural supplements with hormonal effect did not exclude the subject from the PKS or ECS.
According to Quality Issue Summary Version 2.05 (regarding Site 141), the presence of extensive questions 
about source data, significant site compliance issues, and non-representative PK profiles for all four 
SOV2012-F1 subjects causes Marius to conclude that the PK data from this site are not valid.  All Site 141 
subjects (1411071, 1411092, 141951, and 141956) were excluded from the PKS and ECS.  They were

GENERAL ASPECTS FOR STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
6.1.
GENERAL METHODS
All statistical analyses detailed in this SAP will be conducted using SAS® Version 9.4 or higher. 
Unless otherwise stated, summaries presented in tables will be presented by randomized or assigned 
treatment group. Any MRS-TU-2019 subjects receiving a treatment they were not randomized to, will be
discussed in the CSR. Three subjects were randomized into the MRS-TU-2019 study twice in error and the 
handling of data for these subjects is described in Appendix 16.3.
Unless otherwise stated, summary statistics for continuous outcomes to be presented will include the 
number of non-missing observations (n), mean, SD, coefficient of variation (CV, %) calculated as 
100%*SD/mean, median, minimum value, and maximum value. Unless otherwise stated, means and 
medians will be presented with one more decimal than the observed values. SD values will be presented 
with 2 more decimals than the observed values. CV values will be presented to 1 decimal place.
Conventions for PK summaries are detailed separately in Section 9.4.2.
Categorical variables will be summarized using frequencies and percentages. Percentages will be calculated 
using the number of subjects in the analysis set or the number of subjects with a non-missing value for the 
assessment. The footnotes to the tables will note the method for calculating the percentages.
In general, subject listings will be provided for all data collected through MRS-TU-2019 and 
MRS-TU-2019EXT together. Exceptions will be for: subject disposition, where listings will be provided 
for screening and EOT separately for MRS-TU-2019 and MRS-TU-2019EXT. Listings for study drug 
administration, dose titration, exposure, and compliance, will be provided separately for MRS-TU-2019 
SOV2012-F1 treatment arm, MRS-TU-2019 AndroGel treatment arm, and MRS-TU-2019EXT. For PK
parameters and projected dose adjustments, listings will be provided separately for MRS-TU-2019 and
MRS-TU-2019EXT. In general, listings will be sorted by subject identifier, date of collection, and time of 
collection (if applicable).
6.2.
KEY DEFINITIONS

6.2.2.
Last Dose Date of Study Drug
The last dose date of study drug in MRS-TU-2019 will be recorded at the Early Withdrawal or EOT visit.
The last dose date of study drug in MRS-TU-2019EXT will be recorded at Visit 16E EOT or at Early 
Withdrawal Visit E.
Missing and partial last dose dates will be handled according to Section 6.3.8.
6.2.3.
Study Day 
Study day for MRS-TU-2019 only subjects, and for MRS-TU-2019EXT continuing subjects and late entry 
subjects up to and including Visit 6E, will be calculated using the first dose date (Section 6.2.1) of MRS-
TU-2019. For events/recordings of outcomes on or after the first dose date, the study day will be calculated 
as assessment date–first dose date+1. For events/recordings prior to the first dose date, the study day will 
be calculated as assessment date–first dose date. There will be no study Day 0.
Study day for MRS-TU-2019EXT will be calculated using the first dose date (Section 6.2.1) of MRS-TU-
2019EXT. For events/recordings of outcomes on or after the first dose date, the study day will be calculated 
as assessment date–first dose date+1. For events/recordings prior to the first dose date, the study day will 
be calculated as assessment date–first dose date. There will be no study Day 0. In the tables, listings and 
figures (TLFs), study day will be displayed as xxxE. 
6.2.4.
Baseline
For MRS-TU-2019 subjects, baseline will be defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the first 
dose of study drug at Visit 3 (Day 1). For in-clinic BP for MRS-TU-2019, baseline will be defined as the 
within subject mean of all Screening Visit 2 and Visit 3 (Day 1) individual observations.
For MRS-TU-2019EXT subjects, baseline will be defined as the last non-missing observation prior to the 
first dose of study drug at Visit 7E (Day 1E). For in-clinic BP, baseline will be defined as the within subject 
mean of all Visit 6E individual observations. Baseline for ABPM statistic values will be the statistic value
at Visit 7E (Day 1E). Baseline for hourly or half-hourly assessments will be time matched to the relative 
clock time at Visit 6E/7E.
6.2.5.
Change from Baseline 
Change from baseline = Post-baseline value – value at baseline.

6.2.6.
Time 0 (Vital Signs)
For MRS-TU-2019, Time 0 is time of last recorded assessment(s) before morning dosing.
For MRS-TU-2019EXT ABPM visits, Time 0 is within 0.5 hour before placement of the ABPM cuff.  For 
non-ABPM visits, Time 0 is the last recorded assessment(s) before the morning dose.
6.2.7.
MRS-TU-2019 End of Treatment and Day 365 Visit
End of Treatment assessments, where subjects continue to take MRS-TU-2019 assigned treatment after 
study day 345 (≥345) will be assigned to the Day 365 visit, if the nominal Day 365 visit assessments are 
missing.
6.2.8.
MRS-TU-2019EXT Enrolled
A subject is defined as enrolled into the MRS-TU-2019EXT study when they have provided informed 
consent and been deemed to have passed all MRS-TU-2019 and MRS-TU-2019EXT inclusion and 
exclusion criteria.
6.3.
MISSING AND BELOW THE LIMIT OF QUANTIFICATION 
(BLQ) DATA
6.3.1.
Missing ABPM Data
Only quality accepted ABPM readings will be included in calculations, summaries and analyses; criteria 
constituting a failed/rejected set of ABPM 24-hr data are defined as any of the following:
x
More than 10 of the required 48 timepoints over 24 hours are missing/unreadable (>20%).
x
More than 2 consecutive hours of data missing (5 or more consecutive 30-min data points missing).
x
Less than 22 hours of recording time. 
Only timepoints with both a baseline (Section 6.2.4) and a post baseline quality accepted reading will be 
evaluated for changes from baseline. Only timepoints with both a Day 120E and a Day 180E quality 
accepted reading will be evaluated for Day 180E changes from Day 120E.
No imputation methods will be employed.
6.3.2.
Missing Data for Primary Endpoints
Following the parameter derivation of T Cavg according to Section 9.4.1, for the MRS-TU-2019 study, 
missing endpoint data will be imputed for the primary statistical analyses using a multiple imputation
approach as detailed in Section 8.5 when at least one post baseline 24 hour T Cavg is evaluable.

For sensitivity analysis on the MRS-TU-2019 primary endpoint, worst-case scenario (WCS) imputations 
will be performed. Subjects with missing data at Visit 8 will be considered as treatment failures, i.e. they 
will be set to 24-hour T Cavg not within the normal range after 90 days of treatment. These analyses will be 
performed on the FAS.
For the primary analysis on the MRS-TU-2019EXT primary efficacy endpoint where there are no other 
post baseline Cavg values before Visit 12E (Day 90E), WCS imputations will be applied for the primary 
analysis. Subjects with missing data at Visit 12E will be considered as treatment failures, i.e. they will be
set to 24-hour T Cavg not within the normal range after 90 days of treatment. This analysis will be performed 
on the mEXTS and EXTS.
6.3.3.
Missing Pharmacokinetic (PK) Data
Missing PK concentration data will not be imputed for the purpose of calculating PK parameters for the
particular subject and visit. However, if there is a missing sample collection time, the nominal (scheduled) 
sample collection time will be used based on a case-by-case review by the pharmacokineticist. If PK
concentration data are missing, the pharmacokineticist will review on a case-by-case basis to determine if 
PK parameters should be calculated.
6.3.4.
Below the Limit of Quantification (BLQ) PK Concentration Data
When handling PK concentration data that are BLQ, the following rules will apply for the derivation of PK 
parameters:
x
BLQ concentration values for predose samples will be treated as zero.
x
Postdose BLQ values prior to the first quantifiable concentration will be assigned as the predose 
concentration.
x
Postdose BLQ values after the first quantifiable concentration will be treated as missing.
When handling PK concentration data that are BLQ, the following rules will apply for the calculation of 
summary statistics:
x
BLQ concentration values for predose samples will be treated as zero.
x
Postdose BLQ values prior to the first quantifiable concentration will be assigned as the predose 
concentration.
x
Postdose BLQ values after the first quantifiable concentration will be treated as zero.

6.3.5.
Missing Adverse Event (AE) Data
Imputation of AE onset, when a missing or partial onset date has been recorded, will be performed using 
the following algorithm, designed to conservatively assign AEs to a study period.
x
If the onset date is entirely missing then the date of first dose of any study drug (Section 6.2.1) will
be imputed as the onset date.
x
If the year of onset only is provided and the year is the same as the year of first dose of any study
drug, then the date of first dose (Section 6.2.1) will be imputed as the onset date. This event would
be treatment-emergent. If the year of onset only is provided and the year is not the same as the year
of first dose, then the onset date will be imputed as the 1st of January of that year.
x
If only the month and year of onset are provided, and the month and year are equal to the month/
yearof first dose of any study drug, then the date of first dose (Section 6.2.1) will be imputed as the
onset date. In all other cases, the 1st day of the provided month/year of onset will imputed for the
onset date. Only if the provided month/year of onset is prior to the month/year of first dose would
an event not be considered treatment-emergent.
AEs with missing severity will be considered severe in the summaries. 
TEAEs with missing relationship to study drug will be considered to be probably related to study drug in
the summaries. 
If a partial onset date is provided, the imputed onset date will be utilized for determination whether the 
event was treatment-emergent. Partial onset dates will be presented as reported by the investigator in the 
listings. Similarly, AEs with missing severity or relationship will be presented as missing in the listings.
If date of death is missing, date of last contact will be used.
6.3.6.
Missing and Partial Medication Dates
In order to classify medications documented on the Prior and Concomitant Medications eCRF as prior or 
concomitant to a study or period, missing and partial medication dates will be handled as follows:
x
Missing medication start dates likely to be after the date of first dose of study drug in MRS-TU-
2019EXT (Section 6.2.1) will be imputed as the date of first dose of study drug in MRS-TU-
2019EXT. Otherwise, missing medication start dates likely to be after the date of first dose of study
drug in MRS-TU-2019 (Section 6.2.1) will be imputed as the date of first dose of study drug in
MRS-TU-2019.

x
Missing end dates will be imputed as the date of last contact.
x
Incomplete medication start dates will be imputed using the earliest possible date implied by the
portions of the date provided. If the year is provided and not the month (regardless of the day),
January 1st of that year will be imputed as the start date. If the month and year are provided but not
the day, the 1st day of the provided month/year will be imputed as the start date.
Incomplete medication end dates will be imputed using the latest possible date implied by the portions of 
the date provided. If only the year is provided and not the month regardless of the day, December 31st of 
that year will be imputed as the end date. If the month and year are provided but not the day, the last day of
the provided month/year will be imputed as the end date. If any imputed end date would be after the 
subject’s date of last contact, then the medication end date will be imputed as the date of last contact.
6.3.7.
Missing and Partial Diagnosis Dates
In order to calculate the number of years since hypogonadism diagnosis, missing and partial diagnosis dates 
will be handled as follows:
Missing diagnosis dates will not be imputed.
Incomplete diagnosis dates will be imputed using the earliest possible date implied by the portions of the 
date provided. If only the year is provided and not month regardless of the day, January 1st of that year will 
be imputed as the start date. If the month and year are provided and not the day, the 1st day of the provided 
month/year will be imputed as the start date.
6.3.8.
Missing and Partial Last Dose of Study Drug Dates
In order to calculate the duration of exposure of study drug, missing and partial last dose dates (Section 
6.2.2) will be handled as follows: 
Missing last dose dates will be imputed as the date of the last scheduled treatment visit.
Incomplete last dose dates will be imputed using the latest possible date implied by the portions of the date 
provided. If only the year is provided, December 31st of that year will be imputed as the last dose date. If 
the month and year are provided, the last day of the provided month/year will be imputed as the last dose
date. If any imputed last dose date would be after the date of the subject’s last scheduled treatment visit,
then the last dose date will be imputed as the date of the last scheduled treatment visit.

6.4.
VISIT WINDOWS
There are no plans to derive visit windows, visits will be used in the analyses as reported on the eCRF. For 
subjects with multiple screening attempts, only data from the most recent screening attempt will be 
included in summary statistics. Unscheduled PK and safety data (physical examination, vital signs, 
electrocardiogram [ECG], and laboratory evaluations) will not be summarized unless they are determined 
to be the last non-missing observations before the first dose of study drug (i.e. baseline [Section 6.2.4]). All 
data will be listed. 
The T levels determined from the T assays processed at Syneos Health (301D College road East, Princeton, 
NJ 08540, USA) will be considered the relevant T concentration. In a case where a PK visit is repeated due 
to loss of sample due to either human error or during transit, the T assay on the repeat PK samples will be 
considered the relevant T concentration.
PK samples taken far outside the protocol sampling window may be excluded from by-timepoint summary 
statistics; this will be decided by the pharmacokineticist.
6.5.
POOLING OF CENTERS
No pooling of centers is planned. No listings, tables or analyses are planned to be presented by center.

EFFICACY
8.1.
NORMAL RANGE
The T and DHT normal ranges for NaF/EDTA plasma and serum samples to be used in these studies in the 
evaluation of SOV2012-F1 treated subjects will be determined from Study MRS-TNR2019. The normal 
range for subjects treated with Androgel is 300 to 1000 ng/dL.
8.2.
PRIMARY MRS-TU-2019 ENDPOINT  
Three subjects were randomized into the study twice in error and the handling of data for these 
subjects is described in Appendix 16.3.
8.2.1.
Multiple Imputation Analysis
Analysis of the primary endpoint will be performed using the FAS.
The primary endpoint is the percentage of SOV2012-F1–treated subjects with a 24-hour T Cavg (based on 
NaF/EDTA tube plasma samples) within the normal range after 90 days of treatment. The normal range is 
defined using the NaF/EDTA plasma endogenous testosterone from study MRS-TNR-2019.
The Cavg will be calculated per Section 9.4.1. Missing T Cavg values at Day 90 (Visit 8) in the FAS will be 
imputed using multiple imputation procedures, as described in Section 8.5. Multiple Imputation is only 
applied when there is at least one evaluable post baseline 24 hour T Cavg
A 95%, 2-sided, binomial CI for the percentage of subjects will be reported along with the estimated 
percentage itself. This CI will be calculated for each imputation generated from the multiple imputation 
procedure and results combined as described in Section 8.5.
Serum T Cavg values for those subjects randomly assigned to receive AndroGel will be summarized using 
summary statistics for continuous data only.
8.2.2.
Sensitivity Analyses
Sensitivity Analysis 1 will be performed on SOV2012-F1-treated subjects using the ECS with no
imputation of missing data.
Sensitivity Analysis 2 will be performed on SOV2012-F1-treated subjects using the FAS and WCS
imputation, as described in Section 6.3.2.

PRIMARY MRS-TU-2019EXT EFFICACY ENDPOINT
8.3.1.
Primary Analysis
The primary analysis of efficacy will be performed using the mEXTS.
The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage of SOV2012-F1–treated subjects with a 24-hour plasma 
total T Cavg (based on NaF/EDTA tube plasma samples) within the normal range after 90 days of treatment
within the MRS-TU-2019EXT study. The normal range is defined using the NaF/EDTA plasma 
endogenous testosterone from study MRS-TNR-2019.
The Cavg will be calculated per Section 9.4.1. Missing T Cavg values at Day 90E (Visit 12E) in the mEXTS
will not be imputed using multiple imputation procedures, as there are no 24 hour pk profiles prior to Day 
90E.  Instead, missing values will be treated as failures (WCS).
A 95%, 2-sided, binomial CI ( Wald asymptotic confidence limits ) for the percentage of subjects will be 
reported along with the estimated percentage itself.
The MRS-TU-2019EXT study will have shown effectiveness of SOV2012-F1 if at least 75% of the mEXTS
has total T Cavg in the normal range and if the lower bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for that proportion is ≥ 
65%.

EXPLORATORY MRS-TU-2019 ENDPOINTS 
Three subjects were randomized into the study twice in error and the handling of data for these subjects is 
described in Appendix 16.3.
8.4.1.
International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS)
The I-PSS is a validated questionnaire used to assess the severity and impact of urinary symptoms. It is 
based on the answers to 7 questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of 
life. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the subject to choose one out of 6 answers
indicating increasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The 
total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic).
The questions refer to the following urinary symptoms:
Questions
Symptom
1
Incomplete emptying
2
Frequency
3
Intermittency
4
Urgency
5
Weak Stream
6
Straining
7
Nocturia
Question 8 refers to the subject’s perceived quality of life. The answers to the single quality of life 
question range from “delighted” to “terrible” or 0 to 6.
If any question response is left unanswered, then the resultant score will be missing and the total score 
will not be calculated.
The observed values and the change from baseline (Section 6.2.4) values for each subject will be 
summarized by treatment group and visit for total score and quality of life due to urinary symptoms score.
Summaries will be completed separately for those who completed 52 weeks of treatment and those whose 
EOT assessment was completed at the time of early withdrawal, and for both groups together.

I-PSS summaries will be presented for the FAS. All questionnaire data will also be listed.
8.4.2.
Psychosexual Daily Questionnaire (PDQ)
The PDQ will be used to assess the subject’s sexual function and mood changes. Weekly averages of the 
PDQ subscale scores recorded for 7 consecutive days prior to the collection visit will be calculated. For 
the sexual activity subscale score, the weekly value will be sum of the number of “any” responses 
(1 = Yes, 0 = No), as detailed below. Scores are calculated if diaries are completed on at least 3 of the 7
consecutive days. The subscales are given below.
x
Sexual desire 
x
Sexual enjoyment:
o
Enjoyment without a partner 
o
Enjoyment with a partner 
x
Mood 
o
Positive mood (Full of pep/energetic, Friendly, Well/good, and Alert) 
o
Negative mood (Angry, Irritable, Sad or Blue, Tired, and Nervous) 
x
Sexual activity score 
x
Sexual performance with erection: 
o
Percent full erection
o
Satisfaction with erection
The sexual desire subscale is assessed using a 0 – 7 Likert scale (None to Very High). 
The sexual enjoyment with and without a partner subscales are assessed using a 0 – 7 Likert Scale 
(0 = None, 7 Very high enjoyment/pleasure). The availability of a partner (yes or no) is also recorded, but 
not used in the scoring.
The positive mood subscale score will be determined using each day’s average response on the Likert 
Scale from 0 – 7 (0 = Not at all true – 7 = Very true) to the positive mood questions (alert, full of 
pep/energetic, friendly, well/good).
The negative mood subscale score will be determined using the same method as for the positive mood 
subscale score using the negative mood questions (angry, irritable, sad or blue, tired, nervous).
The weekly sexual activity subscale score will be determined using a count of the activities experienced 
over the complete assessment week, as indicated on the daily assessments (1 = experienced, 0 = did not 
experience), dividing by the number of days during the week where the daily questionnaire was 
completed, and then multiplying this ratio by 7 to get an activities per week value. 
The percent of full erection is assessed by checking on the scale of 0 – 100% in increments of 10%.

SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. SF-36 will be scored 
according to the scorning manual for RAND 36-Item Health Survey (Version 1.0).”.
Observed values and the change from baseline (Section 6.2.4) values for each subject will be summarized 
by treatment group and visit for each domain score, the physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component 
summary scores, and the total score.
Summaries will be completed separately for those who completed 52 weeks of treatment and those whose 
EOT assessment was completed at the time of early withdrawal, and for both groups together.
SF-36 summaries will be presented for the FAS. All questionnaire data will also be listed.
8.4.4.
International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF)
The IIEF is a widely used, multi-dimensional, self-administered investigation that has been found useful in 
the clinical assessment of erectile dysfunction and treatment outcomes in clinical trials. A score of 0-5 is 
awarded to the response given to each of the 15 questions that examine the 5 main domains of erectile 
function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction, as detailed in 
Table 6.
Observed values and change from baseline (Section 6.2.4) values for each subject will be summarized by 
treatment group and visit for each totaled domain score. Note that the original Spanish version of the 
questionnaire used in the study had incorrect responses available for Question 12, therefore Question 12 
was left blank in the eCRF for all subjects who used this version of the questionnaire. These data will not 
be imputed.
Summaries will be completed separately for those who completed 52 weeks of treatment and those whose 
EOT assessment was completed at the time of early withdrawal, and for both groups together.

are still in the study and randomized to the same treatment group. Data will be imputed in 2 stages for 
SOV2012-F1 subjects.
Stage 1: Impute intermittent missing data for the SOV2012-F1 group
In a preliminary step, imputation based on the missing at random (MAR) assumption will be performed for 
intermittent missing data using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method in order to obtain monotone missing 
data patterns, and will be implemented with the SAS® PROC MI procedure with center, BMI at Screening 
Visit 2, age, race, and all visits with T Cavg data, included as terms in the imputation model. Race subgroups 
will be as defined in Section 6.6. Example SAS® code is as follows:
proc mi data=DATAIN nimpute=100 seed=543571857 out=MONOTONE;
var CENTER_X BMI AGE RACE_X VISIT4 VISIT6 VISIT8;
mcmc chain=multiple impute=monotone;
run;
where _X represents parameterized categorical variables.
Stage 2: Impute monotone missing data for the SOV2012-F1 group
1.
Take the monotonic data set and create a new data set DATA1 including all subjects at Visit 4 with
non-missing values or missing at Visit 4.
2.
Sort by imputation (from the 100 imputations above) and subject number.
3.
Impute data at Visit 4 in data set 1. Example SAS® code is as follows:
proc mi data=DATA1 out=VISIT4 seed=6784325 nimpute=1;
by _Imputation_;
class CENTER RACE;
var CENTER BMI AGE RACE VISIT4;
monotone regression;
run;
4.
To impute missing data for the subsequent Visit 6 repeat steps 1 – 3 using the data set output above: 
VISIT4 instead of monotone, resulting in an output data set VISIT6.
5.
Repeat for Visit 8.
For any visit, if there are no non-missing data for a center, then perform the above imputation once
excluding the centers with no non-missing data at the visit, and once for the whole analysis set without 
center included in the model. From the second imputation, take the data for the centers that had no non-
missing data at the visit and merge them back in with the data from the first imputation.

PHARMACOKINETIC (PK) PARAMETERS 
9.4.1.
Derivation of Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters
Validated WinNonLin Version 6.4 (Certara, USA) will be used for PK parameter derivation. PK parameters 
detailed in Section 4.3 will be estimated using the concentrations with rules for BLQ and missing data (as 
detailed in Section 9.3.1) applied. The sampling time relative to dosing for predose samples will be treated 
as zero. Further details of PK parameter derivation (24-hour PK sampling only) are as follows: 
x
The Cmax and the corresponding Tmax will be read directly from the concentration-time plot
(observed data, not predicted data, excluding the pre-morning dose data). If the same Cmax is
recorded more than once during the treatment period, the earliest occurrence will be considered the
Tmax.
x
AUCs will be calculated non-compartmentally using the linear up/log down trapezoidal rule.
x
The Cavg will be calculated as AUC0-24divided by 24 hours. If AUC0-24is not calculable, and the last
timepoint (Tlast) is close to 24 hours (between 23 and 25 hours inclusive), then Cavg0-last calculated
as AUClast/Tlast will be used for Cavg.
x
DHT/T and E2/T ratios will be calculated based on ratios of Cavg, AUC0-12, and AUC12-24normalized
by molecular weight using following equations:
1)
DHT/T Cavg = [(DHT Cavg)*FWT]/[(T Cavg)*FWDHT]
2)
E2/T Cavg = [(E2 Cavg)*FWT]/[(T Cavg)*FWE2]
Where FWT = 288.42 g/mol; FWDHT = 290.44 g/mol; FWE2 = 272.38 g/mol
The same equations will be applied with the other parameters in replacement of Cavg for AUC0-
12, and AUC12-24 based ratios.
Free T concentrations at MRS-TU-2019 baseline (Section 6.2.4), MRS-TU-2019EXT baseline, and for 
Day 90 and Day 90E will be calculated using total T (pre-dose for Visit 3 and 7E, and Cavg from Day 90 
and Day 90E), SHBG, and albumin concentrations for each subject according to a validated FTV method6,7
with the following equation: 
FTV = (T–N*FTV)/(Kt(S–T+N*FTV))
FTV is then converted to ng/dL by multiplying by 28.842

  ................................................................................................ Page 80 of 193 
Where FTV = free T concentration (nmol/L), T = total T concentration (nmol/L), S = SHBG
concentration (nmol/L), Kt = (association constant of SHBG for T) = 0.597 L/nmol, N = (KaCa+1), 
Ka = 3.6*104 L/mol, Ca = albumin molar concentration (mol/L), and 28.842 is the conversion factor of 
nmol/L to ng/dL
For albumin, molar concentration conversion will be:
albumin concentration (g/L) divided by 69000 (g/mol) = xx (mol/L).
Free T calculations will be performed using Total T (pre-dose for Visit 3 and 7E, and Cavg from Day 90 
and Day 90E) from NaF/EDTA samples for MRS-TU-2019 and MRS-TU-2019EXT for the SOV2012-F1
treatment groups and from the serum samples for the AndroGel treatment group. Free T calculations will 
also be performed for both serum and NaF/EDTA samples from the MRS-TU-2019EXT Serum Substudy.
9.4.2.
Presentation of Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters 
Individual subject PK parameters will be listed for each analyte.
PK parameters will be summarized by treatment group for the PKS and summarized for the EXPK Set 
using descriptive statistics as detailed in Table 9.
The following tables will be provided for the PKS and EXPK Set using descriptive statistics as detailed in

Spearman’s Correlation Matrix of Projected Dose Adjustments
For each of Visit 8E (Day 14E) and Visit 10E (Day 42E) and each timepoint (1.5, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours), a
Spearman’s correlation matrix of projected dose adjustment (increase, decrease, or no change) will be 
presented for both NaF/EDTA plasma and serum.
9.6.5.
Adjustment of NaF/EDTA Titration Thresholds to Serum Basis
Using the EXPK Set, the relationship between serum T concentrations and plasma T concentrations using 
NaF/EDTA tubes will be evaluated for each of the titration visits (8E and 10E), at the 3, 4, 5, and 6 hour 
timepoints separately, through scatter plots. A simple regression line will be displayed on each plot with 
the estimate of the slope and the 95% CI and p-value for the estimate of the slope, along with the adjusted 
R-squared. Then hours combined for 3,4,5 and then hours combined for 4,5,6 and finally all hours combined 
combined will also be presented with regression line, adjusted R-squared, and slope estimates.
9.6.6.
Final Dose as an Outcome Variable
With baseline hypertensive status, diabetes, and baseline weight as factors a logistic regression will be
performed to assess the relationship to final dose in the EXTS set. Dose will fall into one of the following 
three categories: 800mg, 600mg, and ≤400mg. Odds ratios and 95% CIs will be provided for each of the 
factors.

SAFETY
General safety endpoints are detailed in Sections 4.1.4 and 4.2.3. General safety will be assessed on the 
basis of AE reports, clinical laboratory data, vital signs, and serum cortisol response to intravenous 
administration of synthetic ACTH. Other safety assessments are physical examinations and ECG. The SS 
will be used for all general MRS-TU-2019 safety analyses, except the ACTH analysis, which will be 
performed using the AAS. The EXTS will be used for all general MRS-TU-2019EXT safety analyses. The 
OSS will be used for overall safety analyses.
The safety objectives are to assess the safety data after 52 weeks of treatment in the MRS-TU-2019 study 
and after 180 days of treatment in the MRS-TU-2019EXT study; however, selected safety data were also 
presented at the Day 90 interim analysis as detailed in Version 2.0 of this SAP.
Vital signs will also be evaluated using ABPM. The primary ABPM endpoint is the change from baseline 
in 24-hour average ambulatory sBP after approximately 120 (±3) days of treatment in the MRS-TU-
2019EXT study and will be analyzed using the EXTS.
Also part of the safety evaluations, T Cmax after 90 days of treatment in the MRS-TU-2019 study will be
analyzed using the FAS. Other safety endpoints for the MRS-TU-2019EXT study are detailed in 
Section 4.2.2 and will be analyzed using the EXTS.
Three subjects were randomized into the MRS-TU-2019 study twice in error and the handling of data for
these subjects is described in Appendix 16.3.

effects such as baseline diabetic status (Section 6.6) will be considered for inclusion. An unstructured 
covariance structure will be used to model the within-subject errors. The Kenward-Roger approximation 
will be used to estimate denominator degrees of freedom. The least squares mean at each visit and the least 
squares mean for the difference between Day 120E and Day 1E with the associated 95% CIs will be 
provided. Goodness of fit will be evaluated. A sensitivity analysis will be performed only including subjects 
with non-missing results at all of Visits 7E, 14E and 16E (ABPM completers).
24-hour average change from baseline ambulatory sBP values will be categorized into 5 mmHg increments 
to ±20 mmHg and summarized by visit using summary statistics for categorical variables. A cumulative 
distribution curve of categorical change from baseline to Day 120E will be presented for 24-hour average 
ambulatory sBP. 
A shift table for categorical hypertension classification between baseline and maximum post-baseline 
values will be presented for visits 14E, 16E, and all data for 24-hour average ambulatory sBP. This summary 
will also be presented by baseline diabetic status. The hypertension classifications to be used are given in 
Table . 
Hourly and half-hourly ambulatory sBP time matched changes from baseline (Section 6.2.4) to Day 120E
will be calculated and listed with clock time and half-hourly elapsed time from ABPM recording start time.
Subjects may have started ABPM at different times at different visits and this calculation controls for 
diurnal variation by evaluating the 24 hours as a continuum with the justification of being at steady state.
Time matches will be made using windowing, where the closest quality accepted reading (including all 
automatic and manually initiated readings) at the baseline visit within 30 minutes will be selected as the 
baseline reading; if 2 readings are equidistant in time, the earlier will be selected. The time matched changes 
from baseline will then be grouped into half-hourly clock time intervals, based on the clock time of the 
post-baseline measurement, by averaging multiple observations for a subject within a single interval. Half-
hourly clock time intervals will initiate at exactly 7 a.m.
Half-hourly ambulatory sBP and time matched changes from baseline will be summarized using summary 
statistics for continuous variables in 2 ways, firstly by visit and half-hourly elapsed time from ABPM 
recording start time, and secondly by visit and half-hourly clock time intervals. Mean ± SD half-hourly 
ambulatory sBP and time matched changes from baseline will be graphically displayed by half-hourly 
elapsed time from ABPM recording start time overlaying visit and separately by half-hourly clock time 
intervals overlaying visit. For the summaries and plots by half-hourly elapsed time from ABPM recording 
start time, values based on manually initiated post-baseline readings will not be included. The window will 
be +/-0.25 nominal half hour increments and will be presented from zero to 23.5. 
These tables and figures will be repeated including only subjects with non-missing results at all of Visits 
7E, 14E and 16E (ABPM completers).

distribution curves of daytime and nighttime average ambulatory sBP will be presented overlaying visit. 
Mixed model repeated measures analyses on the daytime and nighttime average ambulatory sBP will be 
performed with subject as a random effect (all subjects with non-missing post-baseline results), and visit 
(7E, 14E and 16E), MRS-TU-2019 prior randomized treatment (SOV2012-F1, AndroGel, or None for 
MRS-TU-2019 naïve subjects), and baseline hypertensive treatment status  as fixed effects. Additional 
effects such as baseline diabetic status (Section 6.6) will be considered for inclusion. An unstructured 
covariance structure will be used to model the within-subject errors. The Kenward-Roger approximation 
will be used to estimate denominator degrees of freedom. The least squares mean at each visit and the least 
squares mean for the difference between Day 120E and Day 1E with the associated 95% CIs will be 
provided for the daytime and nighttime average ambulatory sBP. Goodness of fit will be evaluated. A
sensitivity analysis will be performed only including subjects with non-missing valid results at all of Visits 
7E, 14E and 16E (ABPM completers). 
These summaries and analyses on the 24-hour, daytime and nighttime average ambulatory sBP will also be 
presented for the subgroups detailed in Section 6.6, as data permit (minimum of 5 subjects per subgroup).
Separate Forest plots of daytime average, nighttime average, and 24-hour average ambulatory sBP will be 
provided, each presenting the least squares mean differences between visits with 95% CIs, including results 
from both the analysis on all subjects with non-missing post-baseline results and the analysis on ABPM 
completers.
Daytime average change from baseline ambulatory sBP values will be categorized into 5 mmHg increments 
to ±20 mmHg and summarized by visit using summary statistics for categorical variables. A cumulative 
distribution curve of categorical change from baseline to Day 120E will be presented for 24-hour average 
ambulatory sBP.

Censoring
All tables and figures will be repeated censoring for antihypertensive therapy changes, where profiles that 
were collected on or after the date of addition of or an increase in dosage of antihypertensive medications 
will be excluded after first dose of study drug in MRS-TU-2019EXT (Section 6.2.1). Antihypertensive 
medication restarted after any interruption at the same antihypertensive dose will not be counted as an 
addition. Censoring will not be done for summaries focusing on the washout time between studies. 
10.3.4.
Other Ambulatory sBP Endpoints
Other endpoints for ambulatory sBP are:
x
Change from baseline in 24-hour average ambulatory sBP after approximately 180 (±3) days of
treatment
x
Change from baseline in daytime (Section 10.3.2) average ambulatory sBP after approximately 180
(±3) days of treatment.
x
Change from baseline in nighttime (Section 10.3.2) average ambulatory sBP after approximately
180 (±3) days of treatment.
x
Observed and change from baseline in half-hourly ambulatory sBP after approximately 180 (±3)
days of treatment.
Ambulatory sBP at Day 180E will be evaluated in a similar fashion to the primary ABPM endpoint of sBP 
at Day 120E. Additionally, in the mixed model repeated measures analyses, the least squares mean for the 
difference between Day 180E and Day 120E will be provided with the associated 95% CI.
10.3.5.
Effect of Dose on Average ABPM sBP
For Visit 14E (Day 120E) and Day 180E(Visit 16E), 24-hour  average systolic and daytime average 
systolic will be broken down by the subject’s dose.  Observed and change from baseline will be
summarized using summary statistics for continuous variables.  Box plots of the changes from baseline 
for each of the visits will overlay the dose groups.
Further exploratory ANCOVA using the EXTS may be performed to evaluate the impact of baseline 
covariates including weight, baseline diabetic status, baseline hypertensive treatment status, age and dose 
on changes in 24 hour ABPM.

Cavg and Average ABPM sBP
Using the EXPK Set, scatter plots of the observed and change from baseline ABPM Day 120E 24 hour 
average systolic blood pressure versus Day 90E 24 hour Cavg will be produced.  This will include an 
overlayed regression line with slope (95% CI) and adjusted R-square. This will also be done for the 
daytime average. 
10.3.7.
Estimation of Treatment Effects on ABPM sBP After a Year of Treatment 
In order to estimate 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime average ambulatory sBP changes after a year of 
treatment, the values at Day 365 (after a year of treatment) and Day 6E/7E (after at least 8 weeks washout 
and simulating baseline) for continuing SOV2012-F1 subjects will be summarized using summary statistics 
for continuous variables, including 95% CIs for the means. The difference in least squares means between 
the 2 visits (Day 365-Day 6E/7E) and associated 95% CI will be determined through a mixed model 
analysis to simulate change from baseline values. Baseline hypertensive treatment status, and baseline 
diabetic status (Section 6.6) will be considered for inclusion as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance 
structure will be used to model the within-subject errors. The Kenward Roger approximation will be used 
to estimate denominator degrees of freedom. Analysis will not be repeated for any washout censoring.

overlaying visit.
In addition, a mixed model repeated measures analysis on the 24-hour average ambulatory HR will be 
performed with subject as a random effect (all subjects with non-missing post-baseline results), and visit 
(7E, 14E and 16E), MRS-TU-2019 prior randomized treatment (SOV2012-F1, AndroGel, or None for MRS-
TU-2019 naïve subjects), and baseline hypertensive treatment status. Additional effects such as baseline 
diabetic status (Section 6.6) will be considered for inclusion. An unstructured covariance structure will be 
used to model the within-subject errors. The Kenward-Roger approximation will be used to estimate 
denominator degrees of freedom. The least squares mean at each visit and the least squares mean for the 
difference between Day 120E and Day 1E with the associated 95% CIs will be provided. Goodness of fit 
will be evaluated.

These analyses may be repeated to include a confirmatory assessments at a separate visit following the 
elevation visit where the first assessment of an increase in hypertensive category was made in order to 
reflect clinical practice.  The two visits must be at least within the range of the hypertensive elevation 
category unless the confirmatory visit is not available, in which case the hypertensive category will reflect 
the elevation visit assessment.
Censoring
All tables and figures will be repeated censoring for antihypertensive therapy changes, where 
measurements that were collected on or after the date of addition of or an increase in dosage of 
antihypertensive medications will be excluded after first dose of study drug (Section 6.2.1).
Antihypertensive medication restarted after any interruption at the same antihypertensive dose will not be
counted as an addition. For sBP and dBP assessed at 4-hour intervals, the whole profile will be censored 
if any of the measurements were collected on or after the date of addition of or an increase in dosage of 
antihypertensive medications after first dose of study drug (Section 6.2.1).
All vital signs data recorded will be listed. BMI at each visit after Screening Visit 2 will be calculated as 
weight (kg)/(height at Screening Visit 2 [m])² and also listed.
Effect of Dose on Time 0 sBP
For Day 90 and Day 180 , Time 0 systolic blood pressure will be broken down by the subject’s dose.  
Observed and change from baseline will be summarized using summary statistics for continuous 
variables. 
10.8.2.
MRS-TU-2019EXT
Ambulatory BP, HR, MAP, and PP will be analyzed as detailed in Section 10.3.
Observed values collected in clinic (Time 0) vital sign measurements, including sBP, dBP, HR, and weight, 
and changes from baseline (Section 6.2.4), will be summarized by MRS-TU-2019EXT visit using summary 
statistics for continuous variables, including 95% CIs for the means. For sBP and dBP, where multiple 
readings are taken at one timepoint, the mean of those 3 readings will be calculated in the database, 
truncated to whole numbers, and used as the timepoint value in summaries and analyses. These summaries 
will also be presented for the subgroups detailed in Section 6.6, where applicable, as detailed in Section 16.
Mean ± SD sBP and dBP will be plotted at each scheduled visit, separately for observed and 
change from baseline values. To evaluate central tendency and outliers, box plots of sBP and 
dBP will be presented overlaying visit. Cumulative distribution curves of sBP and dBP will be 
presented overlaying visit.

Hypertension
For sBP, dBP, and HR, shift tables for categorical hypertension classification between baseline 
and maximum post-baseline Time 0 (Section 6.2.6) values (using the mean value at timepoints 
where there are multiple readings) will be presented. In addition, the categorical hypertension 
classifications for each scheduled visit and the maximum post-baseline Time 0 values will be
summarized. These summaries will also be presented for the subgroups detailed in Section 6.6,
where applicable, as detailed in Section 16.
The hypertension classifications to be used are given in Table 13.
Kaplan-Meier plots for the time in days from baseline to the first occurrence of a Stage 1 hypertensive event
(date of first occurrence of Stage 1 hypertensive event-date of Visit 7E) will be presented. A Stage 1
hypertensive event will be defined if either Time 0 sBP or Time 0 dBP (using the mean values at timepoints 
where there are multiple readings) are classified as Stage 1 hypertension. This analysis will be limited to 
those subjects whose baseline hypertension status is normal or elevated. Subjects who do not experience 
Stage 1 hypertension during the study will be censored at the time of study early withdrawal. Kaplan-Meier 
plots for the time in days from baseline to the first occurrence of a Stage 2 hypertensive event (date of first 
occurrence of Stage 2 hypertensive event-date of Visit 7E) will also be presented. This analysis will be 
limited to those subjects whose baseline hypertension status is normal, elevated or Stage 1 hypertension.
These analyses may be repeated to include a confirmatory assessments at a separate visit following the 
elevation visit where the first assessment of an increase in hypertensive category was made in order to 
reflect clinical practice.  The two visits must be at least within the range of the hypertensive elevation 
category unless the confirmatory visit is not available, in which case the hypertensive category will reflect 
the elevation visit assessment.
ABPM versus In Clinic
Scatter Plots of Time 0 in-clinic sBP and dBP versus 24-Hour average ambulatory sBP and dBP 
and versus daytime average ambulatory sBP and dBP at Visits 6E/7E, 13E/14E, and 15E/16E 
will be presented to assess the utility of in-clinic BP monitoring. Scatter Plots of Time 0 in-clinic 
change from baseline in sBP and dBP versus 24-Hour average change from baseline in 
ambulatory sBP and dBP and versus daytime average change from baseline in ambulatory sBP 
and dBP at 13E/14E, and 15E/16E will also be presented. A simple regression line will be 
displayed on each plot with the estimate of the slope and the p-value for the estimate of the 
slope.

with the estimate of the slope and the p value for the estimate of the slope. Similar analyses will be 
performed for the changes in sBP versus the changes in hemoglobin.
Washout
To determine the rate at which BP returns to steady state after discontinuation of TRT, sBP and dBP for 
continuing subjects will be summarized using summary statistics for continuous variables and presented as 
box plots by MRS-TU-2019 treatment group and overall for Visits 2E, 3E, 4E, 5E, and 6E.
Censoring
All tables and figures will be repeated censoring for antihypertensive therapy changes, where measurements 
that were collected on or after the date of addition of or an increase in dosage of antihypertensive 
medications will be excluded after first dose of study drug (Section 6.2.1). Antihypertensive medication 
restarted after any interruption at the same antihypertensive dose will not be counted as an addition.

INTERIM ANALYSES
Interim analysis of the primary and secondary efficacy data, PK, and safety was planned for the 90-day 
efficacy period of the MRS-TU-2019 study to ensure all subjects were at the correct assigned dose. A high 
level of data cleaning was performed on the following data types: disposition, eligibility criteria, PDs,
demography, PK, extent of exposure, meal records. The efficacy analyses and all outputs included in the 
interim analysis delivery were detailed in Version 2.0 of this SAP. For PK/efficacy/titration algorithm data, 
only data to Day 90 for available analytes were included and these data were considered final. For all other 
data, all data up to the data cut were included.

CHANGE FROM ANALYSIS PLANNED IN PROTOCOL
In the study protocol, MRS-TU-2019 is the original study described in the protocol body, and MRS-TU-
2019EXT is described in an appendix to the protocol. Following discussion with the FDA, efficacy and 
safety analysis for labeling will be performed using the MRS-TU-2019EXT study, and therefore the 
parameters for effectiveness of SOV2012-F1 in the MRS-TU-2019 study have been removed, serum T Cavg
and T Cmax values for those subjects randomly assigned to receive AndroGel will be summarized only, and, 
in general within each section of TLFs, MRS-TU-2019EXT outputs are presented first, followed by MRS-
TU-2019 outputs and then overall outputs.
Per FDA feedback, no multiple imputation methods will be used when there is not a post baseline 24 hour 
T Cavg  As a result, the imputation for the primary endpoint in MRS-TU-2019EXT is a Worst Case Scenario 
since there are no 24 hour profiles in the extension study prior to Day 90E.
The population for the primary analysis of efficacy has been changed to a modified Extension Treated Set 
(mEXTS) to exclude site 104.
The modified Extension Serum Set (mEXSE) was added to exclude site 104.
The Extension PK Population was further clarified to exclude site 104.
For the calculation of the 24-hour T Cavg, the AUC0-24 will now be divided by 24, instead of the actual 
number of hours between dosing and the 24-hour sample collection time, because the AUC0-24 is calculated 
for AUC from Time 0 to exact time 24 hours with interpolation or extrapolation. If AUC0-24 is not 
calculable, and the Tlast is close to 24 hours (between 23 and 25 hours inclusive), then Cavg0-last will now be 
used for Cavg.
The secondary T Cmax endpoint has been clarified to be a safety endpoint, rather than efficacy. Missing data 
will not be imputed and there will be no sensitivity analyses. The thresholds for SOV treated subjects will 
be set as (a) ≤1.5 x ULN; (b) 1.8 x ULN to 2.5 x ULN ; and (c) >2.5 x ULN  after 90 days of treatment, 
where the ULN is defined using the NaF/EDTA plasma and serum endogenous testosterone from study 
MRS-TNR-2019. Androgel thresholds will remain as (a) <=1500, (b) 1800 to 2500, and (c) >2500 ng/dL.
The AUC0-24 ratios of DHT to T, and E2 to T, will not be calculated as these will be the same as the Cavg
ratios of DHT to T, and E2 to T.
Sample size determination was updated to specify a non-inferiority test with a 3 mmHg upper boundary 
with respect to the 24-hour average in ambulatory sBP.
The MRS-TU-2019EXT secondary endpoints of maximum 24-hour sBP and dBP after approximately 120 
days (±3) and 180 days (±3) of treatment were removed.

It has been clarified that ABPM analyses will be performed using 95% CIs.
Calculated ambulatory MAP and PP endpoints were added.
The SS was restricted to the MRS-TU-2019 study and the OSS was added for safety summaries across both 
studies with respect to SOV treated subjects. TEAEs will no longer be summarized separately for the 
washout period, instead, TEAE’s during washout will be attributed to MRS-TU-2019.
The Extension Efficacy Completers Set was removed as it was too similar to the EXPK and no longer 
required. The sensitivity analysis of the primary MRS-TU-2019EXT efficacy endpoint will be performed 
using the EXPK Set.
inVentiv Health Clinic was changed to Syneos Health to reflect the change in company name.
Prior and concomitant medications will be coded using the WHO Drug B2 Format 01MAR2017 version, 
instead of the September 2012 WHO Drug Dictionary.
I-PSS, PDQ, SF-36, and IIEF summaries will be presented for the FAS instead of the SS as the interest lies 
in the change from baseline data.
The definition of the AAS was expanded to include only subjects who received correctly assigned study 
drug (including synthetic ACTH1-24 [cosyntropin]) and who had serum cortisol results at both Visit 3 and 
Day 365.
The ACTH Analysis Set was renamed to the ACTH Completer Analysis Set
Study drug compliance cannot be calculated as the actual number divided by the expected number of doses, 
as the actual number of doses will not be collected. Instead, overall study drug compliance (%) will be 
calculated separately for the MRS-TU-2019 study and the MRS-TU-2019EXT study and overall for 
SOV2012-F1 as 100*the overall actual dose consumed in the study divided by the overall expected dose
for the study.
Mixed model repeated measures analyses on the 24-hour, daytime and nighttime average ambulatory vital 
signs will be performed instead of the more basic mixed model analyses suggested in the protocol.
The 2017 ACC/AHA/AAPA/ABC/ACPM/AGS/APhA/ASH/ASPC/NMA/PCNA guideline for defining 
hypertension replaced the previous definition. The analysis variable for the statistical analysis of the ACTH 
sub-study was changed, from the maximum increase from pre-cosyntropin administration, to the maximum 
serum cortisol. The change from baseline is not relevant, as a subject could have had a high baseline cortisol 
with little additional response to ACTH.

14.2.3.
Display Titles
Each TLF should be identified by the designation and a numeral, e.g., Table 14.1.1.1. ICH E3 numbering 
is strongly recommended but sponsor preferences should be obtained prior to final determination (see also 
template 03.007C “Table of Contents for Tables Listings and Figures in Statistical Analysis Plan”). A
decimal system (x.y and x.y.z) should be used to identify TLFs with related contents. The title is centered. 
The analysis set should be identified on the line immediately following the title. The title and table 
designation are single spaced. A solid line spanning the margins will separate the display titles from the 
column headers. There will be 1 blank line between the last title and the solid line.

the row headings if applicable). This is distinct from the ‘n’ used for the descriptive statistics 
representing the number of subjects in the analysis set.
x
The order of treatments in the tables and listings will be SOV2012-F1 first, followed by AndroGel, 
then a total column (if applicable).
14.2.5.
Body of the Data Display
General Conventions
Data in columns of a table or listing should be formatted as follows:
x
alphanumeric values are left-justified;
x
whole numbers (e.g., counts) are right-justified; and
x
numbers containing fractional portions are decimal aligned.
Table Conventions
Units will be included where available.
If the categories of a parameter are ordered, then all categories between the maximum and minimum 
category should be presented in the table, even if n=0 for all treatment groups in a given category that is
between the minimum and maximum level for that parameter. Where percentages are presented in these 
tables, zero percentages will not be presented and so any counts of 0 will be presented as 0 and not as 0 
(0%).

included.
An Unknown or Missing category should be added to any parameter for which information is not available 
for 1 or more subjects.
Unless otherwise specified, the estimated mean and median for a set of values should be printed out to 1 
more significant digit than the original values, and SDs should be printed out to 2 more significant digits 
than the original values. The minimum and maximum should report the same significant digits as the 
original values. For example, for sBP:
N
XX
Mean
XXX.X
Std Dev
X.XX
Median
XXX.X
Minimum
XXX
Maximum
XXX
P-values should be output in the format: “0.xxx”, where xxx is the value rounded to 3 decimal places. Any 
p-value less than 0.001 will be presented as <0.001. If the p-value should be less than 0.0001 then present 
as <0.0001. If the p-value is returned as >0.999 then present as >0.999
Percentage values should be printed to one decimal place, in parentheses with no spaces, one space after 
the count (e.g., 7 (12.8%), 13 (5.4%)). Pre-determine how to display values that round down to 0.0. A 
common convention is to display as ‘<0.1’, or as appropriate with additional decimal places. Unless 
otherwise noted, for all percentages, the number of subjects in the analysis set for the treatment group who 
have an observation will be the denominator. Percentages after zero counts should not be displayed and 
percentages equating to 100% should be presented as 100%, without any decimal places. 
Tabular display of data for medical history, prior / concomitant medications, and all tabular displays of AE
data should be presented by the body system, treatment class, or SOC with the highest occurrence in the 
active treatment group in decreasing order, assuming all terms are coded. Within the body system, drug 
class and SOC, medical history (by PT), drugs (by ATC1 code), and AEs (by PT) should be displayed in 
decreasing order. If incidence for more than 1 term is identical, they should then be sorted alphabetically.
Missing descriptive statistics or p-values which cannot be estimated should be reported as “-”.

The percentage of subjects is normally calculated as a proportion of the number of subjects assessed in the 
relevant treatment group (or overall) for the analysis set presented. However, careful consideration is 
required in many instances due to the complicated nature of selecting the denominator, usually the 
appropriate number of subjects exposed. Describe details of this in footnotes or programming notes.
For categorical summaries (number and percentage of subjects) where a subject can be included in more 
than one category, describe in a footnote or programming note if the subject should be included in the 
summary statistics for all relevant categories or just 1 category and the criteria for selecting the criteria.
Where a category with a subheading (such as SOC) has to be split over more than one page, output the 
subheading followed by “(cont)” at the top of each subsequent page. The overall summary statistics for the 
subheading should only be output on the first relevant page.
Listing Conventions
x
Listings will be sorted for presentation in order of treatment groups as above, subject number, 
visit/collection day, and visit/collection time.
x
Missing data should be represented on subject listings as either a hyphen (“-”) with a corresponding 
footnote (“- = unknown or not evaluated”), or as “N/A”, with the footnote “N/A = not applicable”, 
whichever is appropriate.
x
Dates should be printed in SAS® DATE9.format (“ddMMMyyyy”: 01JUL2000). Missing portions of 
dates should be represented on subject listings as dashes (--JUL2000). Dates that are missing because 
they are not applicable for the subject are output as “N/A”, unless otherwise specified.
x
All observed time values must be presented using a 24-hour clock HH:MM or HH:MM:SS format (e.g., 
11:26:45, or 11:26). Time will only be reported if it was measured as part of the study.
x
Units will be included where available
Figure Conventions
x
Unless otherwise specified, for all figures, study visits will be displayed on the X-axis and endpoint 
(e.g., treatment mean change from Baseline) values will be displayed on the Y-axis.
14.2.6.
Footnotes
x
A solid line spanning the margins will separate the body of the data display from the footnotes. 
x
All footnotes will be left justified with single-line spacing immediately below the solid line underneath 
the data display.

  .............................................................................................. Page 117 of 193 
x
Footnotes should always begin with “Note:” if an informational footnote, or 1, 2, 3, etc. if a reference
footnote. Each new footnote should start on a new line where possible.
x
Subject specific footnotes should be avoided, where possible.
x
Footnotes will be used sparingly and must add value to the table, figure, or data listing. If more than 
six lines of footnotes are planned, then a cover page may be used to display footnotes, and only those 
essential to comprehension of the data will be repeated on each page.
x
The last line of the footnote section will be a standard source line that indicates the name of the program 
used to produce the data display, date the program was run, and the listing source (i.e., ‘Program : 
myprogram.sas    Listing source: 16.x.y.z’).

QUALITY CONTROL
SAS® programs are developed to produce output such as analysis data sets, summary tables, data listings, 
figures or statistical analyses. An overview of the development of programs is detailed in Syneos Health 
Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Developing Statistical Programs (3907).
Syneos Health SOPs Developing Statistical Programs (3907) and Conducting the Transfer of Biostatistical 
Deliverables (3908) describes the quality control procedures that are performed for all SAS® programs and 
output. Quality control is defined here as the operational techniques and activities undertaken to verify that 
the SAS® programs produce the output by checking for their logic, efficiency and commenting and by 
review of the produced output.

DERIVATION OF TITRATION ALGORITHM FOR SOV2012-F1
(TESTOSTERONE UNDECANOATE 200 MG) AND 
OPTIMIZATION OF TITRATION CUT-OFFS FOR 
EXTENSION STUDY
Introduction:
To minimize unnecessary exposure to higher than needed testosterone concentrations at the 
initiation of therapy, the MRS-TU-2019EXT (ABPM) study started all subjects on a lower 
starting dose of 400 mg daily (200mg a.m. dose, 200mg p.m. dose) than the 600 mg daily dose 
used in the MRS-TU-2019 study (400mg a.m. dose, 200mg p.m. dose).  Visit 4 and Visit 6 refer 
to the PK visits used to determine dose adjustments at Visits 5 and 7 in MRS-TU-2019.  Note 
that in MRS-TU-2019EXT, the PK data for dose titration is obtained at Visits 8E and 10E, with 
dose titration occurring at Visits 9E and 11E.
Methods:
Marius has carried out PK modeling and concordance simulations based on the 90-day efficacy 
results from MRS-TU-2019 (total 196 observed subjects data) for determining the optimum 
sampling window for titration decision.

Nonparametric superposition method was performed for modeling and simulation using a
validated Phoenix WinNonLin software ver6.4 (Certara, NJ, USA). For the 196 observed data 
from Phase III MRS-TU-2019 study, morning (0-12 hour) and evening (12-24 hour) PK 
concentrations were used separately to model and simulate PK profiles for lower starting dose in 
morning (200mg a.m.) or evening 200mg p.m. at Visit 4; and simulated morning concentrations 
were combined with evening concentrations to obtain simulated 24-hour PK profile. In total 138 
subjects’ data were converged on nonparametric superposition approach, and used for further 
simulations. An increment/decrement scale of 100mg/100mg were applied for the two 
opportunities of dose titrations at visit 5 (visit 9E in MRS-TU2019EXT) and visit 7 (visit 11E in 
MRS-TU2019EXT), respectively.
Trials with various cutoff combinations for up- and down-titrations were simulated, including 
cutoffs of 235, 300, 350, 400 and 450 ng/dL for up-titration as well as 800, 900, 1000, and 1120 
ng/dL for down-titration. With simulated profiles for visit 4, each simulated subject 
concentrations at a randomly selected postdose timepoint (from C3, or C4 or C5; randomization 
code generated in excel) was evaluated to make titration decisions. 
Subsequently, visit 6 PK concentrations were simulated based on the doses after titrations from 
visit 4, and the same rules (cutoffs) for titration decisions were applied again on simulated visit 
6. After second opportunity for up-, down-, or no-titration on simulated visit 6 results, visit 8 PK 
concentrations were in turn simulated to generate PK profiles for efficacy phase. The primary 
and secondary efficacy endpoints as well as the performance of titration algorithm (titration
concordance analysis) were evaluated based on simulated results from visit 4 (first titration visit), 
visit 6 (second titration visit), and visit 8 (efficacy phase). (Refer to Section 4.1 for primary and 
secondary efficacy endpoints; and Section 9.5 for titration algorithm concordance analysis).  
While the MRS-TU-2019 study used a window from 3 to 5 hours post-morning dose, the 
simulations also tested the effect of sampling 6 hours post-dose. After the identification of best 
titration cutoffs (400-900 ng/dL) for 200mg a.m./200mg p.m. starting dose, the same approaches 
were also utilized for modeling and simulations to test randomly selected C4, or C5 or C6 for 
titration decisions based on 400-900 ng/dL cutoffs. The primary and secondary efficacy 
endpoints as well as the concordance analysis were also analyzed.
Results:
These simulations used a normal range of 252 to 840 ng/dL (derived from a serum normal range 
of 300 to 1000 ng/dL with a factor of 0.84 for NaF/EDTA plasma samples).

A correlation was explored using scatterplots and linear regression (with regression coefficient) 
on Cmax vs. each timepoint of Cx on Phase III MRS-TU2019 study data (Figure 3). Table 19
summarizing regression coefficient indicates that there is a strong correlation (0.7~0.9) between 
Cmax and Cx from 3-5 h for Visit 4 and 6, and a moderate correlation (~0.5) between Cmax and Cx
for 6 h for Visit 4 and 6; while a poor correlation (<0.5) between Cmax and Cx for 0, 1.5, 8 and 12 
h for Visit 4 and 6. These correlation analysis suggested that 3-6 h postdose (but not 0, 1.5, 8 and 
12 h) may be suitable as the single blood draw window for making titration decisions.

Concordance analysis results are shown in Table 20 for C3, C4, C5, and C6 at visit 4 or visit 6 
respectively. The total concordance at visit 4 were approximately 82, 92 and 90% for C3, C4, 
and C5 respectively, while 73% for C6.  At visit 6, total concordance was only about 51% for C6 
while those for C3, C4, C5 were at 71-83%. These results confirm that the 3-5 h window is 
optimum. 
Cell definitions are given below the table. Note that Cells I and VI are omitted from the table, as 
there are no subjects in these categories. Numeric concordance records the percent of titration 
decisions based on Cx which are the same as if the decision was based on Cavg. Effective 
concordance records the percent of titration decisions where the titration based on Cx is incorrect with 
respect to Cavg, but the resulting Cavg remains within the normal range.

Conclusions:
Modeling and simulations based on Phase III MRS-TU2019 study data demonstrates that the 400-900
ng/dL up- and down-titration cutoffs are appropriate for 200mg a.m./200mg a.m. starting dose. 
Concordance analysis on simulated data identifies 3-5 h postdose as the appropriate window for single 
blood draw to make titration decisions.  These titration thresholds and starting dose are used in MRS-TU-
2019EXT.

Subject ‘C’: Subject identifier 107274 and Subject identifier 1391174
Under the first randomization (SOV2012-f1 under Subject Identifier 107274), Subject ‘C’ received study 
drug but was lost to follow-up prior to any post baseline assessments. He enrolled at a different site about 
four months later and completed MRS-TU-2019 as Subject Identifier 1391174. As Subject ‘C’ was given 
study treatment under Subject Identifier 107274, he was deemed eligible for some study populations 
under this identifier. Subject ‘C’ was also included in most analysis sets under Subject Identifier 1381174.
Subject identifier 1381174 also participated in MRS-TU-2018EXT:

OUTLIER ANALYSIS FOR SITE 104
16.4.1. Objective
The objective of this analysis is to develop an algorithm to identify outlier profiles that may indicate a 
process deviation.
Marius obtained at Day 90E 24-hr serum PK samples (for the MRS-TU-2019EXT Serum Substudy) in 
addition to the 24-hr NaF/EDTA plasma PK samples. Upon inspection of the data, the ratio of the 
NaF/EDTA plasma to serum values seemed anomalous .  Marius has previously examined these ratios,

such as in the Phase 2b study SOV-TU-PK2013 to understand the implications of using serum samples 
for TRT titration with SOV2012-F1.  
Laboratory and clinical data (e.g. SOV-TU-PK2013) have long shown that in properly acquired and 
handled samples, the serum value will generally equal or exceed the NaF/EDTA plasma value, especially 
at timepoints drawn during peak T or peak TU concentrations.  For Site 104, this ratio was consistently 
inverted over much (or all) of the PK timepoints for a substantial number of subjects.  These sets of 
observations prompted the outlier analysis.

16.4.4. Data Analysis and Report
Analysis Population
This analysis utilizes all subjects with serum and plasma NaF/EDTA results from the serum substudy.
Statistical Analysis Methods
All serum and plasma results are natural log transformed prior to analysis.   
Within each subject and visit, the difference between plasma and serum is taken: Diff=plasma-serum. The 
distribution of this difference in natural log values is characterized by producing mean, median, and 
standard deviations.  
Each of these differences is evaluated for an outlier status by determining if it is outside the upper range 
as defined by 1.96*std which is in the upper 2.5 %.  Only the upper range is used since the expectation 
(the ‘null’ hypothesis) is that the serum would be greater than or equal to the plasma. 
H0: plasma <=serum.
Ha: plasma >serum
Next, then the number of individual outliers is counted within a profile to determine if a profile is in of 
itself an outlier. 
If the number of outliers within a profile (15 assessments within a profile) is required to be 4 or more, the 
outlier probability as determined by the hypergeometric distribution is 0.0003.  If the number of outliers 
within a profile (15 assessments within a profile) is required to be 3 or more, the outlier probability as 
determined by the hypergeometric distribution is 0.005.
