the demographics of the overarching United States population. Demographics in this 
context refer to age, sex, race, and ethnicity. 
3. Diagnosed with atopic dermatitis: 
a. ≥ 1% body surface area (BSA) of AD involvement at the screening and baseline visits; 
b. Validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) 
rating of 1 or 2; 
c. Presence of excoriations at screening and baseline visits (i.e., SCORing Atopic 
Dermatitis index excoriation score > 0). 
4. Suffering from chronic pruritus with pruritus being actively present for at least 6 weeks 
prior to screening despite the use of antihistamines or corticosteroids; 
5. Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score ≥ 5 points at the screening and

the average of the 50% worst daily NRS scores for maximum itch severity (the daily 
scores ranging from 0 to 10) during the screening period (between visits 1 and 2). A 
minimum diary compliance of 70% during the screening phase (between Visits 1 and 
2) is required before randomization. For patients who do not have at least 70% diary 
compliance preceding the planned randomization date, randomization should be 
postponed until this requirement is met, but without exceeding the 45-day maximum 
duration for screening.

(m)]2);  
8. Patients must agree to the following study restrictions: 
a. Males of procreative capacity (not surgically sterile) will use an acceptable method 
of contraception from randomization through 1 month following the last dose of study 
medication. Examples of acceptable contraception for males include abstinence, use 
of a barrier method, or surgically sterilized or post-menopausal partner.  
b. Females of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or post-menopausal, defined 
as 12 months with no menses without a medical cause) will use an acceptable method 
of contraception from the screening visit or 1 month prior to randomization, 
whichever is earlier, through 1 month after the last dose of study medication. 
Examples of acceptable methods of contraception for females include abstinence, the 
use of 2 independent barrier methods, hormonal contraception plus 1 barrier method, 
or surgically sterilized partner.  
9. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements and restrictions; 
10. Willing to not participate in any other interventional trial for the duration of their 
participation; 
11. Patients must be in good health as determined by past medical history, physical

atopic dermatitis as measured by the validated Investigator Global Assessment scale 
for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD). 
• To evaluate the efficacy of VLY-686 in improving disease severity in patients with 
atopic dermatitis as measured by the SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) index 
and Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI). 
• To evaluate the proportion of patients with improvement on SCORAD index of at 
least 50%, 75%, or 90% improvement. 
• To evaluate the proportion of patients with improvement on the EASI of at least 50%, 
75%, or 90% improvement. 
• To assess the efficacy of tradipitant on global measures of improvement as measured 
by Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) and Patient Global Impression of 
Change (PGI-C). 
• To assess the efficacy of tradipitant on quality of life as measured by the Patient 
Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), 
Healthy Days Core Module (4 questions) (HRQOL-4), Insomnia Symptom 
Questionnaire (ISQ), and Patient Benefit Index – Pruritus (PBI-P). 
• To explore the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of VLY-686. 
Pharmacogenomic Sub-Study: 
• Identify genetic markers that correlate with response to tradipitant treatment. 
• Identify genetic markers that correlate with adverse events that may occur upon 
treatment with tradipitant. 
• To identify genetic markers that are associated with atopic dermatitis and/or pruritus 
and disorders/diseases associated with NK-1 receptors. 
• To identify genetic markers that are associated in the metabolism, distribution, and/or 
excretion of tradipitant and its metabolites. 
Overall Design: 
This is multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to be conducted in the 
United States. Approximately Two Hundred (200) patients diagnosed with mild atopic dermatitis, 
who satisfy the eligibility criteria for the study, will be randomized to receive either tradipitant 
85 mg or matching placebo BID. 
The study is divided into two phases: the pre-treatment phase and the evaluation phase. The pre-
treatment phase includes a screening and a baseline visit where patients’ eligibility for the study 
will be assessed. Washout of medications will occur during the screening phase.

STATISTICS 
1.1. 
Sample Size and Accrual 
A total sample size of 200 patients (100 per arm) will provide approximately 93% power to detect 
a 25% response rate difference, assuming 30% and 55% response rates in placebo and VLY-686 
treatment groups respectively, based on a two-sided Fisher’s Exact Test with a 5% significance 
level. In addition, 200 patients will provide about 90% power to detect a 1.2-point treatment 
difference in worst itch score, as measured by WI-NRS, between VLY-686 and placebo with a 
standard deviation (SD) of 2.6, based on a two-sided Student’s T-Test with a 5% significance level. 
1.2. 
Statistical Methods and Analysis Plan 
This section describes the planned statistical analyses in general terms. A complete description of 
the methodology will be specified in a statistical analysis plan (SAP). Any changes in the statistical 
methods described in this protocol that occur prior to database lock will be documented in the SAP 
and will not require a protocol amendment.  
1.2.1. 
General 
Statistical analyses will be performed using two-sided tests. 
Data will be summarized by treatment group (and by visit when applicable), with respect to 
demographic and baseline characteristics, efficacy variables, and safety variables. 
Summary statistics will include the mean, N, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum 
values for continuous variables, and frequencies and percentages for categorical variables. 
For the analyses of change from baseline, only patients with a baseline and at least one (1) post-
baseline measure will be included in the analysis. Unless otherwise specified, baseline is defined 
as the latest non-missing observation across all the visits in the screening phase before the active 
study drug begins. Endpoint will be the latest non-missing observation across all the post-baseline 
visits in the evaluation phase. 
Low enrolling sites will be pooled for analysis and the pooling algorithm will be determined prior 
to breaking the blind. The goal of pooling low enrolling sites is to have a sufficient number of 
patients per treatment group within a site for the analysis models and for the evaluation of the 
treatment-by-site interaction for the primary endpoint. Unless otherwise specified, the pooled sites 
will only be used in the analyses where the site has an effect. The actual sites rather than the pooled 
sites will be specified in the data listings. 
Details of the model and the analyses will be specified in the SAP. All statistical analyses will be 
performed using SAS®, Version 9.1.3 or higher. 
1.2.2. 
Patient Populations for Analysis 
The following analysis populations will be defined for this study: 
Intent-to-Treat: Any patient randomized into the study that receives a dose of study drug and 
that has completed at least one post-baseline efficacy measurement while on study medication; 
Safety: Any patient randomized into the study that receives a dose of study drug; 


VP-VLY-686-3102 
 
 
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. 
Confidential 
  
02 June 2022 
3 
Per-Protocol: Any patient who is randomized and receives the protocol required study drug 
exposure and required protocol processing. 
Efficacy analyses will be performed on the Intent-to-Treat population and the Per-Protocol 
population. Safety summaries will be based on Safety set. Patient characteristics will be presented 
for all patients randomized. 
1.2.3. 
Patient Disposition 
Study completion and reasons for discontinuation for all randomized patients in the double-blind 
phase will be summarized for each treatment group. Discontinuations by reason will be tabulated 
by visit for each treatment group. 
Time to discontinuation due to adverse events, lack of efficacy, and for any reason will be analyzed 
using Kaplan-Meier survival techniques; the log-rank test will be used for group comparison. 
1.2.4. 
Demography and Other Baseline Data 
Demographic data and patient characteristics at screening/baseline will be listed and summarized 
by treatment group for all randomized patients using descriptive statistics. 
Past and current medical history will be summarized by treatment group using the system organ 
class (SOC) as coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding 
dictionary.  
Past medical conditions will be defined as an onset date prior to randomization (Visit 2) and 
resolved (not on-going) as of Visit 2. Current medical conditions, defined as an onset date on or 
after the date of randomization (Visit 2) or an onset date prior to randomization (Visit 2) and 
unresolved (on-going) as of Visit 2, will be reported separately, but similarly to the past medical 
conditions. If both a past and a current (on-going) medical condition record are indicated for a 
condition, the condition will be presented under current medical conditions only. 
1.2.5. 
Study Medication 
The number of patients at each visit will be summarized by treatment group.  
The compliance to study medication, as recorded in the CRF, will also be summarized by treatment 
group. The proportion of patients who are significantly noncompliant in the double-blind phase, 
as noted in Section 9.3 of this protocol, will be summarized by treatment groups. 
1.2.6. 
Prior/Concomitant Therapy 
Any medications or therapy present before the first dose of study medication (Visit 2) will be 
considered as prior medications. Concomitant medications (medications present while on study 
medication) will be recorded throughout the study and at early discontinuation. These medications 
will be coded using the WHO-drug dictionary. The number of patients from the Safety Population 
using prior or concomitant medications will be categorized by the WHO-drug category and 
preferred term, and presented for each treatment group. In any given category (e.g., drug category), 
a patient will be counted only once.

1.3. 
Efficacy Data Analysis 
1.3.1. 
Primary Outcome and Methodology 
The primary efficacy outcome measure for the double-blind phase will be the WI-NRS responder 
rate at Week 2. A WI-NRS (worst itch numerical rating scale) responder is defined as a patient 
achieving at least 4 points reduction from baseline in WI-NRS. The primary statistical method will 
be the CMH (Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel) test. A detailed description of the primary analysis 
model and the corresponding sensitivity analysis will be included in the SAP. 
As stated previously, any changes in the statistical methods that occur prior to database lock will 
be documented in the SAP and will not require a protocol amendment. 
1.3.2. 
Secondary Efficacy Analysis 
The secondary efficacy outcomes include: 
• WI-NRS; 
• DDSS; 
• Itch questionnaires including diary WI-NRS and VRS; 
• WI-NRS responder at other time points; 
• SCORAD; 
• EASI;  
• Proportion of patients with improvement on SCORAD index of at least 50%, 75% or 
90% improvement; 
• Proportion of patients with improvement on the EASI of at least 50%, 75% or 90% 
improvement; 
• vIGA-AD; 
• PGI-C; 
• CGI-C; 
• PBI-P; 
• HRQOL-4; 
• POEM; 
• DLQI; 
• ISQ;

Time to event data will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the treatment group 
differences will be tested by the log-rank test. Details of the analysis will be described in the SAP. 
1.4. 
Safety Data Analysis 
The primary assessment of safety will be based on the frequency of treatment-emergent adverse 
events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and on the frequency of clinically notable 
abnormal vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory values. Other safety evaluations 
include changes in vital signs, changes in clinical laboratory assessments, and changes in ECGs, 
physical exam findings during treatment, and suicide ideation (C-SSRS) and behavior events. 
1.4.1. 
Adverse Events 
Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study and at early discontinuation. Adverse events 
and medical conditions will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA) coding dictionary. Treatment-emergent adverse events will be defined as those events, 
which are newly occurring or worsening from baseline. In all cases, only treatment emergent 
adverse events will be summarized.  
Treatment-emergent adverse events will be summarized within each treatment group by primary 
system organ class and preferred term. (NOTE: In any given category [e.g., body system], a patient 
will only be counted once.) The incidence rates of TEAEs will be analyzed as described in the 
SAP. Similar displays will be provided for SAE and prior (conditions ending prior to the first dose 
of study medication) and current (conditions present while on study medication) medical 
conditions. 
Adverse events will further be categorized by severity, relationship to study medication, and action 
taken. Other information collected will be listed, as appropriate. Any event starting more than 3 
days after the final dose of study medication will be excluded from the above tables and only listed 
unless the event caused discontinuation. 
The proportions of patients experiencing SAEs and AEs resulting in discontinuation from the study 
will be summarized by treatment groups.  
1.4.2. 
Laboratory Data 
Clinical Laboratory Data 
The summary statistics of raw data (hematology and chemistry) and change from baseline values 
will be presented, as well as shift tables from baseline to post-baseline values using normal ranges. 
For urinalysis parameters, the number and percentage of patients falling under each category of 
the test will be presented. 
Clinical laboratory data will be summarized for each treatment group by presenting the proportions 
of patients with clinically notable abnormalities (Appendix 24.1). 
Clinically notable values will be identified according to the criteria identified in the FDA's 
"Supplementary Suggestions for Preparing an Integrated Summary of Safety Information in an 
Original NDA Submission and for Organizing Information in Periodic Safety Updates" (Revised 
2-APR-87) provided by the FDA Division of Neuropharmacological Drug Products (DNDP). 
Differences in incidence rates between the treatment groups will be tested as described in the SAP.

1.4.3. 
Vital Signs and Body Measurements 
Data from vital signs and body measurements will be listed, clinically notable values (Appendix 
24.1) will be flagged, and any other information collected will be listed. Data will also be 
summarized by treatment group using mean change from baseline and proportions of patients with 
values outside the normal range, and values that were clinically notable.  
1.4.4. 
Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
Results from the ECG will be listed for each patient. These data will also be summarized for each 
treatment group by presenting patients with newly occurring or worsening ECG abnormalities. 
1.4.5. 
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) 
Results from the C-SSRS will be listed for each patient. These data will also be summarized by 
treatment group and for suicidal ideation events, suicidal behaviors, and completed suicides. In 
particular, for each of the following suicide related events, the number and percent of patients with 
the event will be enumerated by treatment group: completed suicide, nonfatal suicide attempt, 
interrupted attempt, aborted attempt, preparatory acts or behavior, active suicidal ideation with 
specific plan and intent, active suicidal ideation with some intent to act without specific plan, active 
suicidal ideation with any methods (no plan) without intent to act, non-specific active suicidal 
thoughts, and wish to be dead. Details of the analysis will be provided in the SAP. 
1.5. 
Subgroup Analysis 
The subgroup analysis (such as, sex, age, baseline illness severity etc.) for efficacy variables and 
safety variables may be conducted as described in the SAP. 
1.6. 
Interim Analysis 
No interim analyses are planned. 
1.7. 
Deviations in Analysis from Statistical Plan and Other Issues 
During the analysis and reporting process, any deviations from the statistical plan designed for this 
protocol will be described and justified in the final report.
