Synopsis
Protocol Title: A Phase IV, Multi-center, Open-label, Single-arm, 24-hour Ambulatory Blood 
Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) Study of 16 Weeks Treatment with Androderm® in Hypogonadal 
Men
Protocol Number: 3146-402-016
Brief Title: Androderm® (testosterone transdermal system)
Study Rationale:
Prior clinical studies of Androderm collected and evaluated pre- and post-treatment systolic and 
diastolic blood pressure (BP) by cuff measurements. No significant trends in cuff BP values were 
noted in patients treated with Androderm.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a postapproval requirement because it is 
not fully known whether any changes in BP, when assessed using 24-hour ABPM, will occur 
with a transdermal formulation of testosterone, such as Androderm. Intensive 24-hour ABPM 
monitoring will allow for a more definitive exclusion of a clinically meaningful effect of 
Androderm on BP. Twenty-four-hour ABPM provides a much larger number of readings 
throughout the day and night, providing more reproducible mean 24-hour, daytime, and 
night-time values.
Therefore, this Phase IV, multi-center, open-label, single-arm study aims to evaluate the effect of 
once daily Androderm on BP parameters as measured by 24-hour ABPM in hypogonadal men 
after 16 weeks of treatment.

Overall Study Design:  
This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm study in hypogonadal men to evaluate the effect of 
once daily Androderm on BP parameters as measured by 24-hour ABPM.
Number of Participants:  
Approximately 300 participants will be screened, to achieve 150 enrolled who receive 
≥1 administration of study intervention, and 120 participants with interpretable 24-hour ABPM 
data at both baseline and the end of Week 16. Participants who prematurely discontinue from the 
study will not be replaced but will be followed to obtain the last 24-hour ABPM assessment.
Intervention Groups and Study Duration:  
The study will consist of a screening period of approximately 3 weeks (21 days), followed by an 
intervention period of 16 weeks (minimum of 113 + 7 days), for a total study duration of 
approximately 19 weeks (133 days). All participants who meet the criteria for participation in the 
study will be administered Androderm at the starting dose of 4 mg/day. On Visit 2, study 
participants will have morning serum concentrations of testosterone measured. If participants 
have a serum concentration below 400 ng/dL, the dose of Androderm will be increased to 
6 mg/day (one 4 mg/day system and one 2 mg/day system). If the serum concentration is above 
930 ng/dL, the dose of Androderm will be decreased to 2 mg/day. All others will remain on 
4 mg/day.

Introduction
Endogenous androgens, which include testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, are required for the 
growth and development of male sex organs, other various organs, and for the maintenance of 
secondary sex characteristics. Testosterone is a steroid hormone that exerts its physiologic effect 
throughout a man’s life. Testosterone exerts its development of secondary sex characteristics in 
men during puberty, in which men begin to observe growth and maturation of the prostate, penis, 
scrotum, etc. (Ullah 2014). 
Hypogonadism is a condition that results from insufficient physiological concentrations of serum 
testosterone produced by the testes and/or an abnormal number of spermatozoa present. 
Hypogonadism is split into primary and secondary hypogonadism. Primary hypogonadism 
occurs when there are abnormalities in the testes, whereas secondary hypogonadism is seen when 
there are defects in the hypothalamus or the pituitary. Signs and symptoms associated with 
hypogonadism include delayed sexual development, loss of body hair, reduced libido, erectile 
dysfunction, fatigue, mood depression, and osteoporosis (Bhasin 2018).
Testosterone replacement therapy has been used to maintain secondary sex characteristics and to 
halt symptoms of testosterone deficiency (Bhasin 2018). Androderm® (testosterone transdermal 
system) is an androgen indicated for replacement therapy in adult men with conditions associated 
with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone. Through its self-contained transdermal 
system, Androderm provides a continuous daily dose of testosterone, delivering physiologic 
concentrations of testosterone, resulting in circulating testosterone levels that are approximately 
equal to the normal concentration range seen in healthy adult men (300 to 1030 ng/dL). 
Androderm has been available since 29 September 1995 and is recognized as a replacement 
therapy in males for the indications of primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) and 
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) (Allergan 2018).
2.1.
Study Rationale
Prior clinical studies of Androderm collected and evaluated pre- and post-treatment systolic and 
diastolic BP by cuff measurements. No significant trends in cuff BP values were noted in 
patients treated with Androderm.
The FDA has issued a postapproval requirement because it is not fully known whether any 
changes in BP, when assessed using 24-hour ABPM, will occur with a transdermal formulation 
of testosterone, such as Androderm. Intensive 24-hour ABPM monitoring will allow for a more
definitive exclusion of a clinically meaningful effect of Androderm on BP. Twenty-four-hour 
ABPM provides a much larger number of readings throughout the day and night, providing more 
reproducible mean 24-hour, daytime, and night-time values. It more accurately identifies 
white-coat hypertension, where clinic BP measurements are high but ABPM readings are 
normal, and masked hypertension, where clinic BP measurements are low but ABPM readings 
are high (Parati 2014).

GRD-CLN-T-01-01 v3.0
Unlike cuff BP measurements, studies with ABPM evaluating hypertensive patients have shown 
a paucity, or even a lack, of a placebo effect (Dupont 1987, Mutti 1991, Mancia 1995). 
Dupont et al demonstrated that placebo significantly decreased in-clinic systolic and diastolic BP 
when measured by cuff measurements after 4 weeks (p < 0.001) but did not significantly 
decrease systolic and diastolic BP when measured by ABPM. Similarly, Mutti et al demonstrated 
that, following 4 weeks of placebo, in-clinic systolic and diastolic BP was significantly reduced 
(-9.6 ± 2.6 and -3.1 ± 1.7 mm Hg, p < 0.01, respectively), while 24-hour ABPM did not show 
any significant change. Finally, Mancia et al again demonstrated that administration of placebo 
significantly decreased systolic and diastolic BP measured in the clinic (-5.3 ± 1.1 and -4.4 
± 0.6 mm Hg, p <0.01, respectively), while no significant reductions were noted with 24-hour 
ABPM. These studies show that an open-label single-arm study design is adequate if 24-hour
ABPM is being used to assess effects on BP. 
Therefore, this Phase IV, multi-center, open-label, single-arm study aims to evaluate the effect of 
once daily Androderm on BP parameters as measured by 24-hour ABPM in hypogonadal men 
after 16 weeks of treatment.
2.2.
Background
Currently, there are several FDA-approved and commercially available options for the treatment 
of hypogonadism. Per the 2018 Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines, testosterone 
replacement therapy continues to be the mainstay of therapy for the treatment of primary 
hypogonadism and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Although testosterone therapy remains a 
first-line treatment option for the treatment of hypogonadism, the effect it has on BP parameters 
is not fully understood.
2.3.
Benefit/Risk Assessment
Patients with either primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) or hypogonadotropic 
hypogonadism (congenital or acquired), characterized by baseline morning testosterone 
< 300 ng/dL, may experience symptoms that include, but are not limited to, erectile dysfunction, 
osteoporosis, fatigue, decreased libido, hot flashes, etc.
In several clinical trials of males between 15 and 76 years old, participants with male 
hypogonadism were treated with 2 mg/day to 5 mg/day of Androderm for up to 28 days. 
Androderm produced average morning serum testosterone concentrations within the normal 
reference range in 92% to 97% of participants (Allergan 2018).
The most common adverse reactions reported in clinical trials were application site reactions in 
28% to 48% of participants. Other less common adverse reactions are prostate abnormalities, 
headache, and depression (reported in 5%, 4%, and 3% of participants in clinical studies). 
Adverse reactions reported by < 3% of participants included: chills, diarrhea, rash, fatigue, 
gastrointestinal bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease, hemarthrosis, hematuria, polyuria, 
prostatitis, body pain, pelvic pain, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, increased appetite, 
accelerated growth, anxiety, confusion, decreased libido, impotence, paresthesia, thinking

abnormalities, vertigo, acne, dysuria, urinary incontinence, urinary tract infection, testicular 
abnormalities, and prostate carcinoma.
From postmarketing experience, AEs of myocardial infarction, stroke and venous 
thromboembolism have been reported, though because these reactions are reported voluntarily 
from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency 
or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. 
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably 
expected AEs of Androderm may be found in the US Package Insert.
Overall, based on the safety profile of the product, the benefit-risk of Androderm remains 
positive when used for approved indications.

Study Design
4.1.
Overall Design
This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm study in hypogonadal men to evaluate the effect of 
once daily Androderm on BP parameters as measured by 24-hour ABPM. It is projected that 
approximately 40 sites in the United States will enroll approximately 150 participants who will 
receive at least 1 dose for this study. 
The study will consist of a screening period of approximately 3 weeks (21 days), followed by an 
intervention period of 16 weeks (minimum of 113 + 7 days), for a total study duration of 
approximately 19 weeks (133 days). All participants who meet the criteria for participation in the 
study will be administered Androderm at the starting dose of 4 mg/day. On Visit 2, study 
participants will have morning serum concentrations of testosterone measured. If participants 
have a serum concentration below 400 ng/dL, the dose of Androderm will be increased to 
6 mg/day (one 4 mg/day system and one 2 mg/day system). If the serum concentration is above 
930 ng/dL, the dose of Androderm will be decreased to 2 mg/day. All others will remain on 
4 mg/day.
Approximately 300 participants will be screened to achieve approximately 150 enrolled 
participants who will receive at least 1 dose and 120 participants with interpretable 24-hour 
ABPM data at both baseline and the end of Week 16. Participants who prematurely discontinue 
from the study will not be replaced but will be followed to obtain the last 24-hour ABPM 
assessment.
4.2.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
A single-arm design is utilized as there are no appropriate active comparators for this study. 
While there are many approved formulations of testosterone, including transdermal, 
intramuscular, and intravenous ones, none are considered appropriate as parallel-controls due to 
lack of available ABPM data to estimate their effect on BP in hypogonadal men. Furthermore, 
unlike cuff BP measurements, past studies that have evaluated participants with hypertension 
have shown that there is a lack of a placebo effect with ABPM (Dupont 1987, Mutti 1991, 
Mancia 1995). ABPM more accurately identifies white-coat hypertension, where clinic BP 
measurements are high but ABPM readings are normal, and masked hypertension, where clinic 
BP measurements are low but ABPM readings are high (Parati 2014).
4.3.
Justification for Dose
Androderm is approved by the FDA for replacement therapy of endogenous testosterone in 
males with primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) and hypogonadotropic 
hypogonadism (congenital or acquired). The recommended starting dose for Androderm is one 
4 mg/day system, applied nightly, every 24 hours. 2 mg/day and 4 mg/day Androderm

Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding
This is an open-label, single-arm study. No blinding of assigned study intervention will occur.
Each participant who provides informed consent will be assigned a participant ID number. 
Participant ID numbers will be unique 11-digit numbers that follow the participant throughout 
the study and consist of the 3-digit protocol number (402), 5-digit site number, and 3-digit 
screening number.
6.4.
Study Intervention Compliance
For home dosing, study intervention compliance will be closely monitored by counting the 
number of systems dispensed and returned. Before dispensing new study intervention at each 
visit, study center personnel will make every effort to collect all unused study intervention. 
The study staff will keep an accurate drug disposition record that specifies the amount of study 
intervention dispensed to each participant.
6.5.
Concomitant Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter, prescription medicines, vitamins, herbal 
supplements, and/or cannabis or other specific categories of interest) that the participant is 
receiving at the time of enrollment or receives during the study must be recorded along with:

Indication

Dates of administration including start and end dates

Dosage information including dose and frequency
At screening, during the study, and at EOS, study staff will question each participant specifically 
on the use of concomitant medications. Study staff must notify the sponsor immediately if a 
participant consumes any concomitant medications not permitted by the protocol. Participants
who admit to using prohibited concomitant medications may be discontinued from the study at 
the discretion of the investigator or the sponsor.
Concurrent chronic medications, such as medications for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, 
and anticoagulation should be administered in dosages with no intention of changing for the 
duration of the study.
6.5.1.
Prohibited Interventions and Washout Before the Study
Over the counter or herbal preparations containing testosterone are prohibited 7 days or 
5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before screening and throughout the study.
The decision to administer a prohibited medication/intervention during the study period is done 
with the safety of the study participant as the primary consideration. When possible, the sponsor 
is to be notified before the prohibited medication/intervention is administered.

Therapy considered necessary for the participant’s welfare may be given at the discretion of the 
investigator. If the permissibility of a specific medication/intervention is in question, please 
contact the sponsor.
The sponsor or designee should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or 
prior therapy.
Any medication taken during the study between the date of the first dose of study intervention
and the date of the EOS visit will be recorded in the eCRF as a concomitant medication; any 
medication started after the EOS visit will not be considered a concomitant medication and 
should not be captured in the eCRF.
6.5.3.
Rescue Medicine
Rescue medicine is not applicable.
6.5.4.
Prohibited Interventions During the Study
Participants must abstain from taking prescription or nonprescription drugs (including drugs 
containing testosterone, vitamins, and dietary or herbal supplements) within 7 days or 5 
half-lives (whichever is longer) before the start of study intervention until completion of the 
follow-up visit, unless, in the opinion of the investigator and sponsor, the medication will not 
interfere with the study.
6.6.
Dose Modification
All participants will initially receive a standard starting dose of Androderm of 4 mg/day which 
will be applied nightly at approximately 2200, starting on Visit 1. At Visit 2, a fasting morning 
testosterone concentration will be measured. Visit 3 will occur when results of the fasting 
testosterone concentration are available. Participants with a testosterone concentration 
< 400 ng/dL will require an increase in dose to 6 mg/day (one 4 mg/day system and one 
2 mg/day system) applied nightly. Participants with a testosterone concentration of > 930 ng/dL
will require a decrease in dose to 2 mg/day (one 2 mg/day system) applied nightly. All others 
will remain on 4 mg/day.
If all doses of study intervention are well-tolerated, the total duration of participation in the study 
will be approximately 19 weeks (3 weeks for screening, plus 16 weeks [Day 1 through 
Visit 6/EOS] of intervention therapy).

Lost to Follow-up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he repeatedly fails to return for scheduled 
visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return for a required study visit:

The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon as 
possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit 
schedule and ascertain whether the participant wishes to and/or should continue in the 
study.

Before a participant is deemed lost to follow-up, the investigator or designee must make 
every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone calls, and if 
necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address or local 
equivalent methods). These contact attempts will be documented in the participant’s 
medical record.

Study Assessments and Procedures

Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA. Protocol waivers or 
exemptions are not allowed.

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or discontinue 
study intervention.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct.

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable.

Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (eg, blood 
count) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilized for screening or baseline 
purposes provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were performed 
within the timeframe defined in the SoA.
8.1.
Efficacy Assessments
8.1.1.
ABPM Assessments
BP parameters, including SBP, DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, and heart rate will be collected by 
24-hour ABPM according to the SoA. The ABPM device is a validated device, recommended by 
relevant, well-known international hypertension societies and is FDA approved. All ABPM 
measurements will be done using the same make and model ABPM device supplied by the 
central vendor, and for each participant, the same device used at baseline must be used for 
postbaseline measurements. BP parameters will be collected at a minimum of 2 readings per 
hour for 24-hour recordings. For ABPM assessments at baseline and Week 16, a repeat ABPM 
session must be performed if validity criteria are not met. Validity criteria are defined according 
to the European Society of Hypertension Guideline and include a minimum of 24 hours of 
readings with at least 70% of expected measurements (33 valid during the 24 hours); 20 valid 
awake (0900 to 2100); and 7 valid asleep (0100 to 0600) (O’Brien 2013). The time of the last 
dose of Androderm prior to the ABPM measurements will be recorded.


Vital signs (to be taken before blood collection for laboratory tests) will consist of 3 pulse 
and 3 BP measurements (3 consecutive BP readings will be recorded at intervals of at least 
1 minute). All BP readings will be recorded on the eCRF.
8.2.3.
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments

See Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the SoA for the 
timing and frequency.

At screening, the investigator or subinvestigator will assess the clinical significance of any 
values outside the reference ranges provided by the laboratory, and participants with 
abnormalities judged to be clinically significant will be excluded from the study.

The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record any 
clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE section of the eCRF. The 
laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents. Clinically significant 
abnormal laboratory findings are those that are not associated with the underlying disease, 
unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s 
condition.

All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significant during participation in the 
study should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer 
considered clinically significant by the investigator.
o
If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged 
reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor 
notified.
o
All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA.
o
If laboratory values from non-protocol-specified laboratory assessments performed at 
a local laboratory require a change in participant management or are considered 
clinically significant by the investigator (eg, SAE or AE or dose modification), then 
the results must be recorded in the AE eCRF.
8.3.
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix 3.
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the 
participant’s legally authorized representative).
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for following 
up AEs that are serious, considered related to the study intervention or study procedures, or that 
caused the participant to discontinue the study intervention or study (see Section 7).

8.3.1.
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
All AEs/SAEs from the signing of the ICF until the follow-up visit will be collected at the 
timepoints specified in the SoA (Section 1.3), and as observed or reported spontaneously by 
study participants.
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention, but after obtaining 
informed consent will be recorded in the AE section of the eCRF and will be considered 
pretreatment AEs.
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee within 24 hours, as indicated 
in Appendix 3. The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 
24 hours of it being available.
Any AEs that are ongoing at the time of the final protocol-defined study visit will be followed 
until the condition returns to pre-study status, has resolved or stabilized, or can be explained as 
being unrelated to the study drug. If a follow-up visit is deemed necessary for appropriate safety 
surveillance, it will take place within 30 days of the final protocol-defined study visit.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AE or SAE information after conclusion of the 
study participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any 
time after a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be 
reasonably related to the study intervention or study participation, the investigator must promptly 
notify the sponsor.
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 3.
8.3.2.
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
nonleading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrences.
8.3.3.
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each participant 
at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed until resolution, stabilization, the event 
is otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7.3).
The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by the sponsor or 
designee to elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This may 
include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological examinations, or 
consultation with other health care professionals.
If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up period, the 
investigator will provide the sponsor or designee with a copy of any postmortem findings 
including histopathology.

New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed eCRF.
The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to sponsor or designee within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information.
8.3.4.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs

Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety of 
a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.

The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, IRBs/IECs, and investigators.

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will review 
and then file it along with the package insert and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.

Investigator safety reports must be prepared for SUSARs according to local regulatory 
requirements and sponsor policy and forwarded to investigators as necessary.
8.3.5.
Medication Errors
Medication error refers to any unintended error in the dosing and/or administration of the study 
intervention as per instructions in the protocol. Medication errors generally fall into 4 categories 
as follows:

Wrong study drug/device

Wrong dose (including dosing regimen, strength, form, concentration, amount)

Wrong route of administration, including wrong site of administration (eg, wrong eye)

Wrong participant (ie, not administered to the intended participant)
Medication errors include occurrences of overdose and underdose of the study intervention.
Overdose: Unintentional administration of a quantity of the study intervention given per 
administration or per day that is above the maximum recommended dose according to the 
reference safety information or protocol for the study intervention. This also takes into account 
cumulative effects due to overdose. In this study, overdose is defined as taking more than the 
assigned dose of study intervention.
Underdose: Unintentional administration of a quantity of the study intervention given per 
administration or per day that is under the minimum recommended dose according to the 
reference safety information or protocol. In this study, underdose is defined as taking less than 
the assigned dose of study intervention.

8.4.
Treatment of Overdose
For this study, any dose of Androderm greater than the assigned dose within a 24-hour time 
period will be considered an overdose.
Allergan does not recommend specific intervention for an overdose
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should:
1. Contact the medical safety physician immediately.
2. Closely monitor the participant for any AE/SAE and/or laboratory abnormalities.
3. Obtain a plasma sample for PK analysis if requested by the medical safety physician
(determined on a case-by-case basis).
4. Document the quantity of the excess dose as well as the duration of the overdose in the 
eCRF.
Decisions regarding dose interruptions or modifications will be made by the investigator in 
consultation with the medical safety physician based on the clinical evaluation of the participant.

placement during the screening period on Screening Visit 3 (Day -3 to -1) and at Visit 5 
(Day 112). The time of sample collection and ABPM device placement should be noted.
Fasting serum total testosterone concentrations will also be measured on Visit 2 (Day 14) and 
Visit 4 (Day 56), approximately 8 to 12 hours after application of the nightly dose on the 
previous night.
The serum total testosterone concentrations will be determined using a validated bioanalytical 
methodology.

Statistical Considerations
9.1.
Statistical Hypotheses
The null and alternative hypotheses for change from baseline in 24-hour average SBP obtained at 
baseline and Week 16 (Week 16 minus baseline) are as follows:
H0: mE - mB ≥ 3.0 versus Ha: mE - mB < 3.0 
Where mB and mE are mean 24-hour average SBP obtained at baseline and Week 16 
respectively.
9.2.
Sample Size Determination
Based on the FDA advice letter dated 24 May 2019, and the assumption that the mean difference 
in 24-hour SBP obtained at baseline and Week 16 is 0.0, with the upper bound of 3.0 mm Hg and 
the standard deviation of 10.0 mm Hg, 120 participants with available ABPM data at Week 16 
will be required to provide 90% power to reject the null hypothesis at the 2 sided 5% 
significance level. Assuming a 25% dropout rate, 150 participants will be enrolled. 
Approximately 300 participants will be screened, to achieve 150 enrolled who receive 
≥1 administration of study intervention, for an estimated total of 120 evaluable participants.
9.3.
Populations for Analyses
The analysis populations will consist of participants as defined below:

The mITT population includes all participants with valid baseline ABPM session, who 
received ≥1 administration of study intervention, ≥1 post-treatment assessment for the 
primary ABPM endpoint, and at least 85% compliance to study intervention for the 
duration of the study.

The safety population includes all treated participants who receive ≥ 1 administration of 
study intervention. 

The PK population includes all participants who have evaluable testosterone 
concentrations.
9.4.
Statistical Analyses
The SAP will be developed and finalized before database lock and will describe the participant 
populations to be included in the analyses and procedures for accounting for missing, unused, 
and spurious data. This section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the primary 
and secondary endpoints.

9.4.1.
General Considerations
The ABPM analyses will be based on the mITT population. Baseline is defined as the last 
nonmissing assessment before the first application of study intervention. All statistical tests will 
be 2-sided hypothesis tests performed at the 5% level of significance for main effects. All CIs 
will be 2-sided 95% CIs, unless stated otherwise. No multiple comparison procedures will be 
applied.
9.4.1.1.
Analysis Endpoints
The primary and secondary efficacy endpoints are listed below and analyses will be defined in 
the following sections. All analyses for other efficacy endpoints listed below will be defined in 
the SAP.
Primary efficacy endpoint:

Change from baseline in 24-hour average SBP obtained at Week 16
Secondary efficacy endpoints:

Change from baseline in 24-hour average DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, and heart rate 
obtained at Week 16
Other efficacy endpoints:

Change from baseline in daytime average SBP, DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, and heart rate 
obtained at Week 16

Change from baseline in night-time average SBP, DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, and heart 
rate obtained at Week 16

Change from baseline over time (hourly average) by nominal clock time and time after 
dose: SBP, DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, and heart rate

The status (yes or no) of participants with new anti-hypertensive medications

The status (yes or no) of participants with dose increases in anti-hypertensive medications

Outlier responder for participants meeting SBP ≥ 160 mm Hg for 24-hour average

Outlier responder for participants meeting SBP change from baseline ≥ 20 mm Hg for 
24-hour average

Outlier responder for participants meeting DBP ≥ 100 mm Hg for 24-hour average

Outlier responder for participants meeting DBP change from baseline ≥ 15 mm Hg for 
24-hour average


Primary Analyses
Continuous descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, min, max, Q1 and Q3) of 24-hour 
average SBP at baseline, Week 16, and change from baseline at Week 16 will be presented. 
Change from baseline at Week 16 will be tested using paired t-test, along with a 2-sided 95% CI. 
If the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI is less than 3.0, the alternative hypothesis of 
excluding an increase of 3 mm Hg in SBP will be inferred.
9.4.1.3.
Secondary Analyses
Continuous secondary endpoints will be summarized by descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, 
median, min, max, Q1 and Q3).
Categorical secondary and other endpoints will be summarized by number and percentage of 
participants in specified categories.
9.4.2.
Safety Analyses
The safety analysis will be performed using the safety population and will be fully defined in the 
SAP. The safety parameters will include AEs, clinical laboratory, and vital signs. For each of the 
clinical laboratory and vital signs parameters, the last nonmissing safety assessment before the 
first dose of study intervention will be used as the baseline for all analyses of that safety 
parameter.
9.4.2.1.
Adverse Events
An AE will be considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became 
serious) on or after the date (and time, if known) of the first dose of study intervention. However, 
an AE that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose of study intervention will not be counted 
as a TEAE.
An AE will be considered a TESAE if it is a TEAE that additionally meets any SAE criterion.
The number and percentage of participants with TEAEs during the study will be tabulated by 
system organ class and preferred term and by system organ class, preferred term, and severity.
The number and percentage of participants with treatment-related TEAEs during the study will 
be tabulated by system organ class and preferred term.
If more than 1 AE is coded to the same preferred term for the same participant, the participant 
will be counted only once for that preferred term using the most severe and most related 
occurrence for the summarizations by severity and by relationship to study intervention.
Summary tables will be provided for participants with TESAEs and participants with TEAEs
leading to discontinuation if these occurred in 5 or more participants. Listings of all AEs, SAEs, 
and AEs leading to discontinuation by participant will be presented.
The definitions of an AE and SAE can be found in Appendix 3.

Clinical Laboratory Assessments
Descriptive statistics for clinical laboratory values (in SI units) at baseline (screening) and 
changes from baseline at each assessment will be presented for each clinical laboratory 
assessment.
The criteria for PCS laboratory values will be detailed in the SAP. The number and percentage of 
participants who have PCS postbaseline clinical laboratory values will be tabulated at each 
assessment. The percentages will be calculated relative to the number of participants who have 
available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 postbaseline assessment. The numerator will be 
the total number of participants with at least 1 PCS postbaseline value. A supportive listing of 
participants with PCS postbaseline values will be provided for the safety population. 
9.4.2.3.
Vital Signs
Descriptive statistics for vital signs (systolic and diastolic cuff BP, heart rate, weight, and 
temperature) at baseline (screening) and changes from baseline at each assessment will be 
presented.
Vital signs values will be considered to be PCS if they meet both the observed-value criteria and 
the change-from-baseline-value criteria that will be detailed in the SAP. The number and 
percentage of participants who have PCS postbaseline vital signs values will be tabulated for 
each assessment. The percentages will be calculated relative to the number of participants who 
have available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 postbaseline assessment. The numerator 
will be the total number of participants with at least 1 PCS postbaseline value. A supportive 
listing of participants with PCS postbaseline values will be provided for the safety population.
9.4.3.
PK Analyses
Fasting morning serum total testosterone concentrations will be measured prior to ABPM device 
placement during the screening period on Screening Visit 3 (Day -3 to -1) and at Visit 5 
(Day 112). The time of sample collection and ABPM device placement should be noted.
Fasting serum total testosterone concentrations will also be measured on Visit 2 (Day 14) and 
Visit 4 (Day 56), approximately 8 to 12 hours after application of the nightly dose on the 
previous night.
Concentrations below the limit of quantitation will be treated as 0 for all PK calculations. 
Descriptive statistics for testosterone concentrations will be provided at each sampling timepoint 
for all participants in the PK population. Details of the statistical analyses of PK data will be 
described in the analysis plan finalized prior to database lock.

an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally 
associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, 
whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

Contraception Guidance:
Male Participants
Nonvasectomized male participants with female partners of childbearing potential are eligible to 
participate if they agree to ONE of the following during the protocol-defined timeframe in 
Section 5.1: 

Are abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse as their usual and preferred lifestyle 
(abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent

Agree to use a male condom with spermicide plus partner use of a contraceptive method 
with a failure rate of < 1% per year as described in Table 10-2 when having penile-vaginal 
intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential who is not currently pregnant
In addition, nonvasectomized male participants must refrain from donating sperm for the 
duration of the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study intervention.
Nonvasectomized male participants with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to 
remain abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of 
penile penetration during the protocol-defined timeframe.

Sexual Abstinence 
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from heterosexual 
intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. The reliability of sexual 
abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of 
the participant.
Acceptable Methods
Acceptable birth control methods that result in a failure of more than 1% per year include:

Progestogen-only oral hormonal contraception, where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of 
action

Male or female condom with or without spermicide

Cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide

Nonhormonal intrauterine device
A combination of male condom with either cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide (double-barrier methods) 
are also considered acceptable, but not highly effective, birth control methods.
a Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use should be consistent 
with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants participating in clinical studies. 
b Hormonal contraception may be susceptible to interaction with the study intervention, which may reduce the 
efficacy of the contraceptive method. In this case, 2 highly effective methods of contraception should be used 
during the study intervention period and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study intervention.
Collection of Pregnancy Information:
Male Participants with Partners Who Become Pregnant 

The investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male participant’s 
female partner who becomes pregnant while the male participant is in this study. This 
applies only to male participants who receive study intervention.

After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female partner 
directly, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the appropriate form and 
submit it to the sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the partner’s pregnancy. The female 
partner will also be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. Information on 
the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to the sponsor. Generally, the 
follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the estimated delivery date. Any 
termination of the pregnancy will be reported regardless of fetal status (presence or 
absence of anomalies) or indication for the procedure.

1.2.
Study Design
This is a multi-center, open-label, single-arm study in hypogonadal men to evaluate the effect of 
once daily Androderm on BP parameters as measured by 24-hour ABPM. It is projected that 
approximately 40 sites in the United States will enroll approximately 150 participants who will 
receive at least 1 dose for this study. 
The study will consist of a screening period of approximately 3 weeks (21 days), followed by an 
intervention period of 16 weeks (minimum of 113 + 7 days), for a total study duration of 
approximately 19 weeks (133 days). All participants who meet the criteria for participation in the 
study will be administered Androderm at the starting dose of 4 mg/day. On Visit 2, study 
participants will have morning serum concentrations of testosterone measured. If participants 
have a serum concentration below 400 ng/dL, the dose of Androderm will be increased to 
6 mg/day (one 4 mg/day system and one 2 mg/day system). If the serum concentration is above 
930 ng/dL, the dose of Androderm will be decreased to 2 mg/day. All others will remain on 
4 mg/day.
Approximately 300 participants will be screened to achieve approximately 150 enrolled 
participants who will receive at least 1 dose and 120 participants with interpretable 24-hour 
ABPM data at both baseline and the end of Week 16. Participants who prematurely discontinue 
from the study will not be replaced but will be followed to obtain the last 24-hour ABPM 
assessment.

Statistical Hypotheses
The null and alternative hypotheses for change from baseline in 24-hour average SBP obtained at 
baseline and Week 16 (Week 16 minus baseline) are as follows:
H0: mE - mB ≥ 3.0 versus Ha: mE - mB < 3.0 
Where mB and mE are mean 24-hour average SBP obtained at baseline and Week 16 
respectively.

Sample Size Determination
Based on the FDA advice letter dated 24 May 2019, and the assumption that the mean difference 
in 24-hour SBP obtained at baseline and Week 16 is 0.0, with the upper bound of 3.0 mm Hg and 
the standard deviation of 10.0 mm Hg, 120 participants with available ABPM data at Week 16 
will be required to provide 90% power to reject the null hypothesis at the 2 sided 5% 
significance level. Assuming a 25% dropout rate, 150 participants will be enrolled. 
Approximately 300 participants will be screened, to achieve 150 enrolled who receive 
≥1 administration of study intervention, for an estimated total of 120 evaluable participants.


The mITT population includes all participants with valid baseline ABPM session, who 
received ≥1 administration of study intervention, ≥1 post-treatment assessments of SBP,
and at least 85% compliance to study intervention for the duration of the study.

The safety population includes all treated participants who receive ≥ 1 administration of 
study intervention.

Statistical Analyses
5.1.
General Considerations
The ABPM analyses will be based on the mITT population. Baseline is defined as the last 
nonmissing assessment before the first application of study intervention. All statistical tests will 
be 2-sided hypothesis tests performed at the 5% level of significance for main effects. All CIs 
will be 2-sided 95% CIs, unless stated otherwise. No multiple comparison procedures will be 
applied.
5.2.
Participant Disposition
Number of participants screened for the study will be provided.
The summary of study disposition in the Safety population will be provided as treated for the 
following:

Number and percentage of participants treated

Number and percentage of participants completed

Number and percentage of participants discontinued

Reasons for discontinuation from study

In addition, a listing will be provided for participant disposition.
5.3.
Primary Endpoint Analysis
Definition of Endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint is change from baseline in 24-hour average SBP obtained at Week 
16. 
Primary Efficacy Analysis
Continuous descriptive statistics (n, mean, SD, median, min, max, Q1 and Q3) of 24-hour 
average SBP at baseline, Week 16, and change from baseline at Week 16 will be presented. 
Change from baseline at Week 16 will be tested using paired t-test, along with a 2-sided 95% CI. 
If the upper bound of the two-sided 95% CI is less than 3.0, the alternative hypothesis of 
excluding an increase of 3 mm Hg in SBP will be inferred.
Sensitivity Analysis
Missing value in 24-hour average 24 hours SBP obtained at Week 16 will be imputed using 
multiple imputation (MI).  In the MI analysis, the missing data will be assumed to follow a 
missing at random (MAR) pattern.
5.4.
Secondary and Other Endpoints Analyses
Secondary and other efficacy endpoints are defined as follows.

Other Safety Analyses
Extent of Exposure
The exposure to study intervention, calculated as (last study intervention date - first study 
intervention date + 1), will be summarized using descriptive statistics for the Safety population. 
Patient-years, defined as exposure to the study intervention in years, will be summarized for the 
Safety Population
Treatment Compliance
Dosing compliance for a specified period is defined as the number of transdermal systems 
applied by a patient during that period divided by the number of transdermal systems prescribed 
for the same period multiplied by 100. This information will be obtained from Study Intervention
Record of the patient’s electronic case report form.
Descriptive statistics for study intervention compliance will be presented for each period 
between 2 consecutive visits for the Safety Population. 
Adverse Events
Adverse events (AEs) will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA) version 22.1 or higher.
An AE will be considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became 
serious) on or after the date (and time, if known) of the first dose of study intervention. However, 
an AE that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose of study intervention will not be counted 
as a TEAE.
An AE will be considered a TESAE if it is a TEAE that additionally meets any SAE criterion.
The number and percentage of participants with TEAEs during the study will be tabulated by 
system organ class and preferred term and by system organ class, preferred term, and severity.
The number and percentage of participants with treatment-related TEAEs during the study will 
be tabulated by system organ class and preferred term.
If more than 1 AE is coded to the same preferred term for the same participant, the participant 
will be counted only once for that preferred term using the most severe and most related 
occurrence for the summarizations by severity and by relationship to study intervention.
The incidence of common (≥ 2% of participants in any treatment group) TEAEs will be 
summarized by preferred term.
Summary tables will be provided for participants with TESAEs and participants with TEAEs
leading to discontinuation if these occurred in 5 or more participants. Listings of all AEs, SAEs, 
and AEs leading to discontinuation by participant will be presented.

Adverse Events of Special Interest
Potential Hy’s Law criteria within a 24-hour window is defined by a post baseline elevation of 
alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≥ 3 x ULN, along with total 
bilirubin (TBL) ≥ 2 x ULN and a non-elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) < 2 x ULN, all based 
on blood draws collected within a 24-hour period. Potential Hy’s Law criteria without time 
window is defined by maximum of post baseline elevation of ALT or AST ≥ 3 x ULN, along 
with maximum of post baseline elevation of TBL ≥ 2 x ULN. Patients who meet the potential 
Hy’s Law criteria from the first dose of study drug to the end of study will be summarized. 
Supportive tabular displays will also be provided.
Prostate events will be summarized and provided in a listing.
Additional Safety Assessments 
For clinical laboratory, vital sign, and ECG, the last nonmissing safety assessment before the 
first dose of study intervention will be used as the baseline for all analyses of that safety 
parameter.

Clinical laboratory test values will be considered potentially clinically significant (PCS) if they 
meet either the lower-limit or higher-limit PCS criteria listed in Section 6.3.7.1. The number and 
percentage of participants who have PCS postbaseline clinical laboratory values will be tabulated 
by study intervention group. The percentages will be calculated relative to the number of 
participants with available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 postbaseline assessment for 
the double-blind treatment period. The numerator will be the total number of participants with 
available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 PCS postbaseline value during the study. A 
supportive tabular display of PCS values will be provided, including the PID number, baseline 
and all postbaseline values. 
In addition, a tabular display showing all AEs that occurred in participants who had PCS 
postbaseline clinical laboratory values will be provided.
5.5.4.2.
Vital Signs
Descriptive statistics for vital signs and their changes from baseline at each assessment timepoint 
will be presented by study intervention group. 
Vital sign values will be considered PCS if they meet both the observed value criterion and the 
change from baseline value criterion, if both criteria are available, or meet either the observed 
value criterion or the change from baseline value criterion that will be detailed in
Section 6.3.7.2. The number and percentage of participants who have PCS postbaseline vital sign 
values will be tabulated by study treatment. The percentages will be calculated relative to the 
number of participants who have available baseline or non-PCS baseline (for parameters with 
only the observed value criterion) values and at least 1 postbaseline assessment. The numerator 
will be the total number of participants with at least 1 PCS postbaseline value during the study. A

1.
If a participant has 2 or more visits within the same window, the last visit with a nonmissing 
value will be used for analysis
Derived Efficacy and Health Outcome Data
6.4.2.1.
Derivation of Efficacy Endpoints 
BP parameters, including SBP, DBP, MAP, pulse pressure, and heart rate will be collected by 
24-hour ABPM at Baseline and Week 16.
Term
Definition
Baseline ABPM
Any assessment recorded during the approximately 24-hour period starting on Screening 
Visit 3; after the ABPM device is applied, through Visit 1, when the ABPM device is 
removed
Week 16 (End of 
study intervention)
Any assessment recorded during the approximately 24-hour period starting on Visit 5, 
after the ABPM device is applied, through Visit 6/EOS/ET, when the ABPM device is 
removed
24-hour ABPM
Any assessment recorded at the specified analysis timepoint (baseline, Week 16) during 
the approximately 24-hour period after the ABPM device is applied through when the 
ABPM device is removed
Daytime ABPM
Any assessment recorded between 0900 and 2100 on either:

the day the ABPM device is applied

the day the ABPM device is removed
Night-time ABPM
Any assessment recorded between 0100 and 0600 on either:

the day the ABPM device is applied

the day the ABPM device is removed
Hours 0 through 23
For each Hour X, any assessment recorded between XX00 and XX59, on either:

the day the ABPM device is applied

the day the ABPM device is removed
Continuous BP endpoints are 24-hour, daytime or night-time average on nonmissing values in 
BP for baseline, Week 16 or change from baseline at Week 16.
Repeated or Unscheduled Assessments of Safety Parameters
Baseline is defined as the last assessment made before the first dose of study intervention. If end-
of-study assessments are repeated or if unscheduled visits occur, the last nonmissing postbaseline 
assessment will be used as the end-of-study assessment for generating summary statistics. 
However, all postbaseline assessments will be used for PCS value determinations, and all 
assessments will be presented in the data listings.

Missing Date of the Last Dose of Study treatment 
When the date of the last dose of study intervention is missing, all efforts should be made to 
obtain the date from the Investigator. If it is still missing after all efforts have been made, the last 
available study medication date will be used in the calculation of treatment duration. 
Missing Severity Assessment for Adverse Events
If severity is missing for an AE that started before the date of the first dose of study intervention, 
an intensity of mild will be assigned. If severity is missing for an AE that started on or after the 
date of the first dose of study intervention, an intensity of severe will be assigned. The imputed 
values for severity assessment will be used for the incidence summary; the values will be shown 
as missing in the data listings.
Missing Causal Relationship to Study treatment for Adverse Events
If the causal relationship to the study intervention is missing for an AE that started on or after the 
date of the first dose of study intervention, a causality of yes will be assigned. The imputed 
values for causal relationship to double-blind treatment will be used for the incidence summary; 
the values will be shown as missing in the data listings.
Missing Date Imputation
The following imputation rules only apply to cases in which the start date for AEs is incomplete 
(ie, partly missing).
Missing month and day
If the year of the incomplete start date is the same as the year of the first dose of study 
intervention, the month and day of the first dose of study intervention will be assigned to the 
missing fields
If the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the first dose of study intervention, 
December 31 will be assigned to the missing fields
If the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the first dose of study intervention, 
January 1 will be assigned to the missing fields
Missing month only
If only the month is missing, the day will be treated as missing and both the month and the day 
will be replaced according to the above procedure
Missing day only
If the month and year of the incomplete start date are the same as the month and year of the first 
dose of study intervention, the day of the first dose of study intervention will be assigned to 
the missing day

If either the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the date of the first dose of 
study intervention or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete start date is 
before the month of the date of the first dose of study intervention, the last day of the month 
will be assigned to the missing day
If either the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the date of the first dose of study 
intervention or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete start date is after 
the month of the date of the first dose of study intervention, the first day of the month will be 
assigned to the missing day
If the stop date is complete and the imputed start date as above is after the stop date, the start 
date will be imputed by the stop date.
If the start date is completely missing and the stop date is complete, the following algorithm will 
be used to impute the start date:

If the stop date is after the date of the first dose of study intervention, the date of the first 
dose of study intervention will be assigned to the missing start date
If the stop date is before the date of the first dose of study intervention, the stop date will be 
assigned to the missing start date
Missing Date Information for Prior or Concomitant Medications
For prior or concomitant medications, including rescue medications, incomplete (ie, partly 
missing) start dates and/or stop dates will be imputed. When the start date and the stop date are 
both incomplete for a participant, the start date will be imputed first.
6.4.8.1.
Incomplete Start Date
The following rules will be applied to impute the missing numeric fields for an incomplete prior 
or concomitant medication start date. If the stop date is complete (or imputed) and the imputed 
start date is after the stop date, the start date will be imputed using the stop date.
Missing month and day
If the year of the incomplete start date is the same as the year of the first dose of study 
intervention, the month and day of the first dose of study intervention will be assigned to the 
missing fields
If the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the first dose of study intervention, 
December 31 will be assigned to the missing fields
If the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the first dose of study intervention, 
January 1 will be assigned to the missing fields
Missing month only
If only the month is missing, the day will be treated as missing and both the month and the day 
will be replaced according to the above procedure

will be assigned to the missing day.
If either the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the date of the first dose of study 
intervention or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete start date is after 
the month of the date of the first dose of study intervention, the first day of the month will be 
assigned to the missing day
6.4.8.2.
Incomplete Stop Date
The following rules will be applied to impute the missing numeric fields for an incomplete prior 
or concomitant medication stop date. If the date of the last dose of study treatment is missing, 
replace it with the last visit date in the imputations described below. If the imputed stop date is 
before the start date (imputed or nonimputed start date), the imputed stop date will be equal to 
the start date.
Missing month and day
If the year of the incomplete stop date is the same as the year of the last dose of study treatment, 
the month and day of the last dose of study treatment will be assigned to the missing fields
If the year of the incomplete stop date is before the year of the last dose of study treatment, 
December 31 will be assigned to the missing fields
If the year of the incomplete stop date is after the year of the last dose of study treatment, 
January 1 will be assigned to the missing fields

If the month and year of the incomplete stop date are the same as the month and year of the last 
dose of study treatment, the day of the last dose of study treatment will be assigned to the 
missing day
If either the year of the incomplete stop date is before the year of the date of the last dose of 
study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete stop date is 
before the month of the date of the last dose of study treatment, the last day of the month will 
be assigned to the missing day

Character Values of Clinical Laboratory Parameters
If the reported value of a clinical laboratory parameter cannot be used in a statistical summary 
table because, for example, a character string is reported for a parameter of the numeric type, a 
coded value must be appropriately determined for use in the statistical analyses. The actual 
values, however, as reported in the database will be presented in the data listings.
