Conditions: Atopic Dermatitis
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 39
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This was a Ph2a study that consists of a double-blind, intra-patient placebo-controlled treatment period and an open-label uncontrolled treatment period with objective to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of PRN473 in up to 40 patients with mild to moderate AD.

On Day 1 (Baseline) of the Blinded Period, 2 target lesions with a difference no greater than 1 point in Total Sign Score (TSS) were randomly assigned to treatment in an intra-patient 1:1 manner, one lesion to PRN473 and the other to matching placebo.

Participation took approximately 13 weeks, including up to a 5-week screening period, a 6-week treatment period, end of study assessments 1 day after last dose, and a safety follow-up phone call 2 weeks after last dose.

Detailed description:
Study duration per patient was approximately 56 days including a 42-days treatment period.

Arms:
arm 1: During the double-blinded period, 2 target lesions per participant (with difference no greater than 1 point in total sign scores \[TSS\]) were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either SAR44727 Gel 5 percent (%) or matching placebo (i.e., each participant was treated with both SAR444727 5% BID and placebo in parallel). During open-label period, participants applied SAR444727 Gel, 5% twice daily (BID) to the all atopic dermatitis (AD)-affected areas, except the scalp, palms, soles and genitals through Days 15 to 42. arm 2: Multiple topical doses of placebo for 14 days, and PRN473 (SAR444727) for 28 days

Interventions: intervention 1: PRN473 (SAR444727) intervention 2: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: White to off-white gel suspension intervention 2: White to off-white gel suspension

Overall Design: 
This is a Ph2a study that consists of a double-blind, intra-patient placebo-controlled treatment 
period and an open-label uncontrolled treatment period with objective to evaluate the safety, 
tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of PRN473 in up to 40 patients with mild to moderate 
AD. All patients are required to apply an emollient (except urea-containing or medicated 
emollients that are regulated as medical device) daily from Day -7 to Day 1 (see Section 6.2). On 
Day 1 (Baseline) of the Blinded Period, 2 target lesions with a difference no greater than 1 point 
in TSS will be randomly assigned to treatment in an intra-patient 1:1 manner, one lesion to 
PRN473 Gel, 5%, and the other to matching placebo. PRN473 Gel, 5% and matching placebo are 
weighed and applied twice daily (BID; morning and evening) at a quantity of approximately 
2.5 mg/cm2 to a 100 cm2 area of each target lesion on Days 1-14 (Blinded Period). The 
investigational products will be applied at the study site, at the patient’s home, or at an external 
clinic, where available.   
During the Blinded Period, if the target lesion is less than 100 cm2, the application area should 
include surrounding nonlesional skin (note: two target lesion skin biopsy specimens on Days 1 
and 15 are only on lesional skin); if the target lesion is larger than 100 cm2, only 100 cm2 of the 
lesion should be marked and treated. On Days 15-42 (Open Label Period), patients are instructed 
to apply PRN473 Gel, 5% BID to all AD-affected areas in a thin layer (excluding the scalp, 
palms, soles, and genitals) and should continue to treat the assigned areas throughout the Open 
Label Period. 
Safety assessments include application site tolerability assessments (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.1), 
vital signs, ECGs, physical examination, safety labs, and AEs. 
To evaluate the PK (plasma concentrations) and biomarkers of PRN473, blood samples will be 
collected at study visits accordingly to the SoA (Section 1.3).  
Efficacy assessments of: 
• The lesional PP-NRS will be administered daily predose during the Blinded Period 
(Days 1-14) and at predose Day 15. 
• The lesional validated IGA will be performed predose at Baseline (Day 1), Days 8, and 15.  
• The lesion TSS (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.3) will be performed predose at Baseline 
(Day 1), Days 8, 15, and 29, and at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
• The EASI, the POEM, and the DLQI will be performed predose at Baseline (Day 1), 
Days 15 and 29, and at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
• The vIGA-AD (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.2) will be performed at Screening, predose at 
Days 15 and 29, and at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43).  
• The SCORAD will be performed predose at Days 15 and 29, and at End of Study/Early 
Termination visit (Day 43).

• The PP-NRS will be administered daily predose before patient morning application during 
the Open-Label Period (Days 15-42) and at End of Study/Early Termination visit 
(Day 43).  
• The percentage of treatable BSA will be calculated at Screening, Days 15 and 29, and 
at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
To be included in the population analyzed for efficacy, the patient must have received at least 
80% of prescribed study intervention in the Blinded Period and/or at least 80% of prescribed 
study intervention in the Open-Label Period. 
Skin tape stripping (STS) will be performed predose on Days 1, 8 (optional), 15, 29, and at 
Day 43 for the two target lesions, and on Day 1 for the normal skin. For a minimum of 20 patients 
(may be reduced to 15 patients if there is an impact on enrollment from coronavirus disease 2019 
[COVID-19]), a 4 or 5 mm punch skin biopsy will be collected from each target lesion on Days 1, 
15, and 29 (optional) and from normal skin on Day 1. The lesional biopsy specimens at Days 15 
and 29 will be collected in the vicinity of the Day 1 (Baseline lesional sample) biopsy but must be 
at least 1 cm away from the prior biopsy site. If the target lesion cleared after Day 1 and before 
Day 15, the biopsy specimen will be taken from the lesional skin location of the target area 
identified at Baseline. 
Additional information regarding study assessments and their timing is located in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 1.3). 
Study Duration: 
Participation will take approximately 13 weeks, including up to a 5-week screening period, 
a 6-week treatment period, end of study assessments 1 day after last dose, and a safety follow-up 
phone call 2 weeks after last dose.

INTRODUCTION  
2.1 
STUDY RATIONALE  
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an essential signaling element downstream of the B cell 
receptor (BCR), Fc-gamma receptor (FcR), and Fc-epsilon receptor (FcR). BTK is 
a non-receptor tyrosine kinase and is a member of the TEC tyrosine protein kinase family 
of kinases (Mohamed 2009). BTK activation is critical for B cell differentiation, activation, 
and maturation. BTK also regulates the activation of other hematopoietic cells, such as mast cells, 
macrophages, and neutrophils primarily through Fc receptor signaling (Rip 2018). Platelets 
express high levels of BTK, which is involved in collagen/glycoprotein VI (GPVI) signaling; 
however, alternative signaling pathways exist with bypass BTK signaling to retain normal platelet 
functions and thrombus formation (Futatani 2001, Byrd 2013).  
BTK inhibition results in the down regulation of various immune cell activities including cell 
proliferation, differentiation, maturation, survival, cytokine production and the induction 
of apoptosis. Inhibition of BTK activity in B cells produces phenotypic changes consistent with 
blockade of the BCR, preventing activation, maturation, and antibody production. Inhibition 
of BTK in FcγR and FcεR expressing cells (such as macrophages or mast cells) blocks the 
inflammatory cytokine cascade driven by antibody cross-linking to the surface receptors 
(Chang 2011, Xu 2012). Deficiency or inhibition of BTK has been shown to reduce disease 
in several immune-mediated rodent models. Pertinent to the treatment of patients with 
immune-mediated diseases, inhibitors of BTK have been shown to be anti-inflammatory in 
several rodent models of arthritis (Chang 2011, Di Paolo 2011, Honigberg 2010, Kim 2011, 
Xu 2012), and lupus (Crofford 2016, Honigberg 2010, Hutcheson 2012) with inhibition of 
proteinurea, kidney histopathology, nephritis, and cutaneous endpoints. BTK inhibitors also 
inhibit acute skin inflammation and vasculitis in antibody induced arthus reaction model 
and murine passive cutaneous anaphylaxis models (Chang 2011). Several orally administered 
BTK inhibitors, including PRN1008, SAR442168/PRN2246, evobrutinib, and fenebrutinib, 
are currently in clinical development for a range of immune-mediated diseases such as 
pemphigus, chronic spontaneous urticaria, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, 
and rheumatoid arthritis.  
A topically applied BTK inhibitor could block the initiation and propagation of various 
immune-mediated dermatological diseases locally in the skin, with a potential clinical advantage 
of very limited systemic exposure. Such local skin mechanisms include inhibition of local 
immune cell activation, blockade of antibody-mediated Fc receptor induced inflammation, 
and recruitment and retention of neutrophils in the affected skin areas. Excessive and persistent 
infiltration of neutrophils into tissues has a role in multiple inflammatory diseases (Oliveira 2016), 
making neutrophil behavior a potential target for drug therapies, ideally to achieve resolution of 
inflammation at a specific site without causing systemic immunosuppression. 
PRN473 is an investigational drug that is being developed as a topical agent for the treatment 
of immune-mediated dermatological diseases. PRN473 demonstrates selectivity for BTK and a small 
number of kinases containing a homologous cysteine with durable but reversible BTK occupancy in 
biochemical assays which translates into a long duration of action in cellular systems.

Atopic Dermatitis 
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic, relapsing, pruritic, inflammatory skin disease. It is 
characterized by xerosis and acute (erythematous papules, vesicles, edema, exudation, crusting), 
subacute and chronic (scaly, erythematous papules and plaques, lichenification, excoriations, 
fissuring) eczematous skin lesions (Bieber 2010, Eichenfield 2014, Bieber 2017, 
Boguniewicz 2017, Silverberg 2017). Typically, AD presents with an age-related morphology and 
distribution (Eichenfield 2014, Bieber 2017). 
The global prevalence of AD is estimated to be approximately 15-30% in children 
and approximately 2-10% in adults. In children with AD, onset occurs in 45% during the first 
6 months of life, 60% during the first year, and 90% are affected before the age of 5 (Bieber 2010, 
Bieber 2017, Boguniewicz 2017, Silverberg 2017). Patients can experience spontaneous disease 
remission later in adolescence but up to 50% will live with AD throughout adulthood 
(Bieber 2010, Eichenfield 2014, Bieber 2017, Silverberg 2017). 
The pathogenesis of AD is multifactorial and includes abnormalities of the skin barrier, defects in 
the innate and adaptive immune response and alterations in the resident skin microflora 
(Boguniewicz 2011). While there is a genetic basis for AD with loss-of-function mutations in the 
filaggrin gene (FLG) which leads to skin barrier abnormalities, there are a number of systemic and 
cutaneous immune abnormalities also present in AD. It is unclear if the abnormalities in skin 
barrier precedes the immune dysregulation or vice versa.  
Dysregulation of the innate immune system in AD include changes in antimicrobial peptide 
(AMP) levels, reduced toll-like receptor (TLR) function, increased mast cells in the skin, 
increased levels of serum immunoglobulin E (IgE), IgE-mediated degranulation and cytokine 
production, increased thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) by keratinocytes, increase in 
eosinophil infiltrates, dermal dendritic cell involvement, and basophil recruitment and activation 
(Boguniewicz 2011, Werfel 2016, Weidinger 2018). In addition to the innate immune system, 
there are also abnormalities of the adaptive immune system in AD. Some of these abnormalities 
include an increase in TH2 lymphocytes, increased TH2 cytokine activity A (IL-4 and IL-13) 
which initiates B-cell IgE class switching, increase in TH1, TH17, and TH22 cells and their related 
cytokine and chemokine production (Weidinger 2018). Topical treatments are the standard 
therapies for patients with mild to moderate AD. Topical steroids are typically the first line 
of treatment but they are used intermittently to reduce the localized adverse effects such as skin 
atrophy, purpura, telangiectasis, and dyspigmentation (Weidinger 2018). Topical calcineurin 
inhibitors (TCIs) have been used in AD as a steroid sparing treatment, however, these agents 
include a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) black box warning of a potential increase in the 
risk of lymphoma. In addition, the use of TCIs has been limited by their inferior efficacy 
compared to the topical steroids. The most recently FDA approved topical therapy for AD is 
crisaborole ointment, a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. Crisaborole ointment has 
been shown to have a modest improvement of disease (32% improvement from baseline) 
compared with the vehicle alone (18-25% improvement) (Ahmed 2018). In addition, crisaborole 
has a significant localized burning and stinging at the site of application. Moderate efficacy 
combined with localized adverse effects has led to the reduced use of crisaborole over TCIs 
and topical steroids.

Despite progress in the treatment of mild to moderate AD, there is still a need for a safe 
and efficacious agent that has: 
• Superior or comparable efficacy to Class 1 topical corticosteroids  
• Excellent safety and tolerability profile 
• Safe and effective as a maintenance therapy 
• No rebound effect after discontinuation 
As stated above, based on the multiple roles BTK plays in adaptive and innate immunity, a topical 
BTK inhibitor has the potential to block the initiation and propagation of various 
immune-mediated dermatological diseases such as AD locally in the skin, with a potential clinical 
advantage of very limited systemic exposure. 
2.2 
BACKGROUND  
2.2.1 Nonclinical studies  
PRN473 has undergone an extensive nonclinical safety evaluation. All nonclinical studies 
conducted for PRN473 are described in detail in the PRN473 Investigator’s Brochure. 
PRN473 has demonstrated slow off-rate binding kinetics to the BTK enzyme; this has 
an advantage over fast off-rate molecules in that the longer a molecule can interact with its target, 
the longer the inhibition and resulting increase in efficacy. Slow off-rates also lead to longer 
duration of action with the potential to reduce the frequency of re-application while maximizing 
effective target inhibition at the topically applied target site. The potential clinical advantage of 
a topical PRN473 is that a longer target residence time may prolong efficacy locally with very low 
systemic exposures observed in the plasma.  
PRN473 has been evaluated in pharmacology, PK, and toxicology studies in mice, rats, dogs, and 
mini pigs as an oral and topical agent. Oral PRN473 has been demonstrated to be 
pharmacologically active in mice and rats using collagen-induced arthritis, and in dogs with 
naturally occurring spontaneous pemphigus foliaceus. This is expected since the amino acid 
sequences of mouse, rat, dog, mini pig, and human BTK are essentially identical 
(99% homology), with no differences across species in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding 
site where PRN473 binds. Topical PRN473 Gel has also been demonstrated to be 
pharmacologically active in mice and rats, using passive cutaneous anaphylaxis and reverse 
passive arthus as in vivo models of efficacy. 
2.2.1.1 Nonclinical pharmacology  
PRN473 is a potent, ATP-competitive, reversible inhibitor of BTK. PRN473 demonstrates rapid 
on and slow off-rate kinetics on BTK, as well as a few closely related TEC kinase family 
members: BMX, TEC, and TXK. PRN473 does not demonstrate durable target occupancy of 
B lymphocyte kinase or interleukin (IL)-2-inducible T-cell kinase.

PRN473 is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of BTK. Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) 
values for PRN473 were 2.1 ±0.1, 5.1 ±0.3, and 13.0 ±0.7 nM at ATP concentrations of 16, 160, 
800 µM, respectively. 
The binding characteristics of PRN473 to other kinases that had demonstrated cross-reactivity 
with PRN473 was assessed utilizing fluorescence competition (Kim 2011). These studies 
demonstrated that PRN473 exhibited durable occupancy on BMX, TEC, and TXK but not on 
BLK and ITK. 
PRN473 was screened at a concentration of 10 µM in a radioligand binding assay against a panel 
of receptors, ion channels, and transporters. In this screen, results showing an inhibition higher 
than 50% were then re-evaluated with a full IC50 determination (A3 adenosine receptor [74.7%], 
dopamine D2s receptor [60.4%], the gamma-aminobutyric acid [GABA]-gated Cl- channel 
[69.3%], and dopamine transporter [94.8%]). Follow-up IC50 assays for these receptors 
demonstrated only weak activity (IC50 >1 μM) with no measurable IC50 for dopamine D2s receptor 
up to 100 μM. Activity against all other receptors, transporters, and channels in this panel was less 
than 50%. This data reaffirms the selectivity of PRN473 for BTK and reduced potential for off 
target binding and signaling. 
The activity of PRN473 was evaluated in several cell-based assays in which the occupancy 
of BTK and the resulting functional effects of the compound in primary cells was assessed. 
The data from the cell-based assays support the in vitro biochemical data showing that PRN473 is 
a potent inhibitor of BTK and inhibits the BCR mediated activation of B cells, IgE-mediated 
activation of mast cells and basophils, immunoglobulin G (IgG)-mediated activation of 
monocytes, and neutrophil migration. PRN473 demonstrated weak cytotoxicity in cell lines not 
expressing BTK and exhibited only weak activity on T-cell activation and epidermal growth 
factor receptor (EGFR) activation. 
A summary of the in vitro pharmacology of PRN473 is provided Table 1. Values greater than 
5000 nM or 20 000 nM indicate no activity in the assay at the limits of the concentrations tested. 
These data are consistent with PRN473 being a potent BTK inhibitor.

In vivo pharmacology studies were conducted with oral PRN473 in naturally occurring 
pemphigus foliaceus in dogs, and experimental rodent collagen-induced arthritis models.  
In all preclinical studies, PRN473 demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects with dose-dependent 
inhibition of clinical scores achieved as monotherapy. Both topical PRN473 Gel or oral PRN473 
demonstrated similar efficacy to corticosteroids (topical betamethasone dipropionate or high dose 
oral prednisolone). 
Topical PRN473 Gel inhibition of IgG antibody-mediated skin inflammation was studied in the rat 
arthus model. Topical PRN473 Gel demonstrated significant dose-dependent inhibition of passive 
arthus reaction, as measured by reduction in diameter of intra-dermal dye extravasation and OD610nm 
from skin biopsy following IgG antibody challenge. A single administration of topical PRN473 Gel 
(over approximately 3 cm2 area) 3 hours prior to IgG antibody challenge achieved significant 
inhibition at strengths greater than 0.5% (1 mg/cm2). Similarly, multiday (3 days) application once 
daily (QD) also achieved significant inhibition at strengths greater than 0.5%. Complete responses 
equivalent to topical betamethasone dipropionate were achieved with 1% (2 mg/cm2) and 2% 
(4 mg/cm2) PRN473 Gel treatment after single day or multiday (3 days) application. Multiday 
(3-day) treatment with QD application of PRN473 Gel revealed that the maximal efficacy equivalent 
to corticosteroids could be achieved with the lower strength of topical gel compared to single day gel 
application. PRN473 Gel demonstrated prolonged inhibitory effect, maintaining significant dose-
dependent inhibition when applied 16 hours prior to challenge. 
To confirm that systemic pharmacology did not contribute to the efficacy of the topical 
PRN473 Gel, the systemic BTK occupancy was assessed in spleens collected terminally from the 
arthus rats on study (4 hours post challenge). Topically applied 2% (4 mg/cm2) PRN473 Gel did 
not result in measurable systemic BTK occupancy following either single dose or multiday

(3-day) dosing, confirming that the efficacy of PRN473 Gel was driven by local skin effects 
and not by systemic pharmacology. Topical PRN473 Gel efficacy was equivalent to oral PRN473 
(10- 40mg/kg, per oral [PO], QD) and oral prednisone (10 mg/kg) treatments in a comparable rat 
arthus study. Taken together, these results demonstrate that topically applied PRN473 Gel can 
effectively inhibit IgG-mediated FcγR signaling, equivalent to topical or oral corticosteroids, 
and prevent downstream IgG antibody-mediated immune effects locally in the skin. 
There was little impact on efficacy when a single dose of 1% PRN473 Gel was administered three 
hours, one hour or 10 minutes prior to challenge for the inhibition of passive arthus reaction in 
rats. Similarly, there was no impact on efficacy if this single dose of 1% gel was washed off prior 
to challenge, demonstrating that PRN473 Gel achieved a prolonged inhibitory effect without the 
need for continual exposure in the Rat Passive Arthus model. 
Topical PRN473 Gel demonstrated significant dose-dependent inhibition of mouse passive 
cutaneous anaphylaxis, as measured by reduction in diameter of intra-dermal dye extravasation 
and optical density (OD610) from skin biopsy following IgE-mediated challenge. A single 
administration of topical PRN473 Gel 3 hours prior to challenge achieved significant inhibition 
at strengths greater than 1% (0.6 mg/cm2). Multiday (3 days) treatment with QD application 
achieved similar levels of inhibition. Significant responses approaching topical betamethasone 
dipropionate or antihistamine were achieved with 4% (2.4 mg/cm2) PRN473 Gel treatment. 
These results demonstrate that topically applied PRN473 Gel (over an approximately 3 cm2 area) 
can effectively inhibit IgE-mediated FcεR signaling, equivalent to corticosteroid or antihistamine 
treatment, and prevent downstream IgE antibody-mediated immune effects locally in the skin. 
2.2.1.2 Pharmacokinetics and metabolism in animals  
Metabolism was assessed in vitro with S9 liver fractions, liver microsomes, and cryopreserved 
hepatocytes from several species. The species-specific microsomal system the highest clearance 
was observed in dog (intrinsic clearance [CLint] = 188 µL/min/mg protein) and the lowest 
clearance was observed in human (CLint = 140 µL/min/mg protein). 
In the S9 fractions from mouse, rat, dog, monkey, and human, a total of 8 potential metabolites 
from PRN473 were identified. Most of the metabolites were minor (1-10% relative peak area 
by mass spectrometry). Two metabolites, M6 and M7, were identified as potential major 
metabolites (10% relative peak area) in a subset of species.  
In vivo metabolic profile studies of oral PRN473 in mice, rat, dog, monkey, and mini pig 
identified three major metabolites: the reduced metabolite (PRN684), the hydrolyzed metabolites 
(PRN834, PRN835), and the oxidation metabolite (PRN664). Overall, the metabolites observed in 
all animal species were similar. No unique human metabolites have been detected from studies 
conducted to date. 
Plasma protein binding was >99% in all species and the blood to plasma ratio for distribution in 
evaluated species was ranged from 0.43 (in dog) to 0.66 (in monkey).  
CYP450 inhibition and induction studies have also been completed. The results of the in vitro 
inhibition studies with 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4 showed that PRN473 does not

significantly inhibit CYP450 enzymes (IC50 >6 μM across isoforms). In a CYP induction study no 
induction was seen with PRN473 at 10 μM for the tested isoforms of CYP 1A2, 2B6, and 3A4. 
The in vivo PK of PRN473 was assessed in rats, dogs, and mini pigs via intravenous (IV) and PO 
administration. All species demonstrated good bioavailability following oral administration. 
Oral bioavailability was lowest in dog (7%) and comparable in mini pig (approximately 17%) and 
rat (21%). Following topical administration of a single dose in dogs and mini pigs, the systemic 
exposure was limited (<10 ng/mL for most of the samples) and lower than the exposure observed 
following oral administration in both rat and mini pig species, suggesting that the topical 
administration likely demonstrate limited systemic absorption and lower concentration levels 
compare to oral administration in human. Nonclinical PK studies following IV and PO 
administration of PRN473 are described in detail in the PRN473 Investigator’s Brochure. 
2.2.1.3 Nonclinical toxicology  
Dermal administration of PRN473 Gel to mini pigs at 0.5% (0.05 mg/cm2), 2% (0.2 mg/cm2), 
and 10% (1 mg/cm2), strengths for at least 28 days was well tolerated. There were no 
PRN473-related changes. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached even at the highest 
dose of 10% when administered QD over a 10 % body surface area (approximately 400 cm2 
at a gel application rate of 10 mg/cm2/day) of mini pig. At the low dose (0.5% gel) due to the low 
exposure levels, the kinetic properties of PRN473 were not able to be determined, except one 
animal on Day 28. The maximum concentrations observed on Day 7 and Day 28, following 
10% gel application were 2.32 ng/mL and 3.17ng/mL, respectively. The corresponding area under 
the concentration-time curve (AUC) values were 11.3 ng×hr/mL and 25.1 ng×hr/mL, respectively. 
Additionally, the 10% PRN473 Gel did not cause ocular irritation and the PRN473 Gel may have 
the potential to be a contact sensitizer as discussed in the Investigators Brochure. 
In a 28-Day oral rat study, all treated animals had measurable systemic exposure following 
both single and repeated QD oral PRN473 administration at doses of 150 and 500 ng/mL. 
PRN473 mean maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) values increased less than proportionally 
and area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the last measurable 
concentration (AUC0-last exposures increased proportionally with increases in dose. No significant 
accumulation was observed (as assessed by mean Cmax and AUC0-last on Day 28 vs Day 1). 
A higher exposure was observed in females then males as assessed by mean Cmax and AUC0-last. 
Treatment with PRN473 was well tolerated. Liver weight changes with associated hepatocellular 
hypertrophy were observed following oral treatment with 500 mg/kg. Based on these findings, the 
no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in rats is considered 150 mg/kg (Cmax: female 
713 ng/mL, male 308 ng/mL; AUC: female 6600 ng×hr/mL, male 3170 ng×hr/mL). 
In a 28-day oral dog study, all treated animals had measurable systemic exposure. PRN473 
plasma exposure (as assessed by average Cmax and AUC0-last) increased in a greater than dose 
proportional manner over the full dose range on both collection days, with the exception of 
Day 28 male Cmax values. PRN-473 plasma exposure (as assessed by mean Cmax and AUC0-last) 
increased comparing Day 28 values to Day1 values. Sex differences were noted when comparing 
PRN473 plasma exposure on Day 1 and Day 28 values. Treatment with PRN473 was well 
tolerated. Based on these findings, the NOAEL is at least 400 mg/kg (Cmax: female 2220 ng/mL, 
male 3390 ng/mL; AUC: female 10 600 ng×hr/mL, male 23 900 ng×hr/mL).

In a 13-week oral rat study, treatment with PRN473 was well tolerated at the dosages tested. 
Administration of 60 or 150 mg/kg PRN473 was associated with dose-dependent increases 
in liver weights for males and females with no histomorphologic correlates. Based on these 
findings, the NOAEL in rats following was considered to be above 150 mg/kg (Cmax: female 
726 ng/mL, male 339ng/mL; AUC: female 4590 ng×hr/mL, male 2940 ng×hr/mL).  
In a 13-week oral dog study, treatment of PRN473 at the dosages tested was well tolerated. 
Administration of any dosage of PRN473 tested was associated with decreased activity 
and reduced body weight in females. Administration of 400 mg/kg in females was associated with 
decreased food consumption. Based on these findings, the NOAEL in dogs following oral dosing 
is considered to be 400 mg/kg (Cmax 2220 ng/mL and AUC 8860ng×hr/mL) in males and 
120 mg/kg (Cmax 918 ng/mL and AUC 3110 ng×hr/mL) in females. 
2.2.2 Clinical studies  
First-in-human administration of PRN473 in 38 healthy volunteers occurred in completed Phase 1 
Study PRN473-001 using the PRN473 liquid and tablet formulations. The results following oral 
dose administration up to a single dose of 600 mg (the maximum dose) demonstrated very limited 
systemic exposure (<10 ng/mL) of PRN473.  
Due to the very low systemic exposure, PRN473 was reformulated into a topical gel and then 
tested in two Phase 1 studies. PRN473 topical has been administered to 42 healthy volunteers in 
Study PRN473-0002 and 21 patients with IgE-mediated allergies in Study PRN473-0003. Plasma 
concentrations of PRN473 were measured in PRN473-0002 but not in PRN473-0003. The results 
from PRN473-0002 showed that the majority of PK samples were not measurable (ie, below the 
quantitation limit). The samples that were measurable were too low to support computation of PK 
parameters following topical application in healthy participants.

STUDY DESIGN  
4.1 
OVERALL DESIGN  
This is a Ph2a study that consists of a double-blind, intra-patient placebo-controlled treatment 
period and an open-label uncontrolled treatment period with objective to evaluate the safety, 
tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of PRN473 in up to 40 patients with mild to moderate 
AD. All patients are required to apply an emollient (except urea-containing or medicated 
emollients that are regulated as medical device) daily from Day -7 to Day 1 (see Section 6.2). 
On Day 1 (Baseline) of the Blinded Period, 2 target lesions with a difference no greater than 
1 point in TSS will be randomly assigned to treatment in an intra-patient 1:1 manner, one lesion to 
PRN473 Gel, 5%, and the other to matching placebo. PRN473 Gel, 5% and matching placebo are 
weighed and applied BID (morning and evening) at a quantity of approximately 2.5 mg/cm2 to 
a 100 cm2 area of each target lesion on Days 1- 14 (Blinded Period). The investigational products 
will be applied at the study site, at the patient’s home, or at an external clinic, where available.  
During the Blinded Period, if the target lesion is less than 100 cm2, the application area should 
include surrounding nonlesional skin (note: two target lesion skin biopsy specimens on Days 1 
and 15 are only on lesional skin); if the target lesion is larger than 100 cm2, only 100 cm2 of the 
lesion should be marked and treated. On Days 15-42 (Open-Label Period), patients are instructed 
to apply PRN473 Gel, 5% BID to all AD-affected areas in a thin layer (excluding the scalp, 
palms, soles and genitals) and should continue to treat the assigned areas throughout the Open 
Label Period. 
Safety assessments include application site tolerability assessments (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.1), 
vital signs, ECGs, physical examination, safety labs, and AEs. 
To evaluate the PK (plasma concentrations) and biomarker of PRN473, blood samples will be 
collected at study visits accordingly to the SoA (Section 1.3). 
Efficacy assessments of: 
• The lesional PP-NRS will be administered daily predose during the Blinded Period 
(Days 1-14) and at predose Day 15. 
• The lesional validated IGA will be performed predose at Baseline (Day 1), and Days 8 and 
15.  
• The lesion TSS (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.3) will be performed predose at Baseline 
(Day 1), Days 8, 15, and 29, and at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
• The EASI, the POEM, and the DLQI will be performed predose at Baseline (Day 1), 
Days 15 and 29, and at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
• The vIGA-AD (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.2) will be performed, predose at Days 15 and 
29, and at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
• The SCORAD will be performed predose at Days 15 and 29, and at End of Study/Early 
Termination visit (Day 43).

• The PP-NRS will be administered daily predose before patient morning application during 
the Open-Label Period (Days 15-42) and at End of Study/Early Termination visit 
(Day 43).  
• The percentage of treatable BSA will be calculated at Screening, Days 15 and 29, and 
at End of Study/Early Termination visit (Day 43). 
To be included in the population analyzed for efficacy, the patient must have received at least 
80% of prescribed study intervention in the Blinded Period and/or at least 80% of prescribed 
study intervention in the Open-Label Period. 
Skin tape stripping (STS) will be performed predose on Days 1, 8 (optional), 15, 29, and at 
Day 43 for the two target lesions and on Day 1 for the normal skin. For a minimum of 20 patients 
(may be reduced to 15 patients if there is an impact on enrollment from COVID-19, a 4 or 5 mm 
punch skin biopsy will be collected from each target lesion on Days 1, 15, and 29 (optional) and 
from normal skin on Day 1. The lesional biopsy specimens at Days 15 and 29 will be collected in 
the vicinity of the Day 1 (Baseline lesional sample) biopsy but must be at least 1 cm away from 
the prior biopsy site. If the target lesion cleared after Day 1 and before Day 15, the biopsy 
specimen will be taken from the lesional skin location of the target area identified at Baseline. 
Additional information regarding study assessments and their timing is located in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 1.3). 
Inclusive of an up to 5-week screening period, a 6-week treatment period, end of study 
assessments 1 day after last dose, and a safety follow-up phone call 2 weeks after last dose, the 
participation will take approximately 13 weeks. 
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, safety measures may be implemented to ensure continued 
supply of study medication and safety monitoring for patients. When the COVID-19 pandemic 
resolves, the measures will be repealed back to the previous state as government rules 
and benefit/risk assessment allow. 
As required, these approaches (in accordance with local regulations) will be documented in site 
guidance materials. 
Additionally, during the COVID-19 pandemic, drug supply may be sent to patients when the 
patient is not able to travel to the site or the site cannot host a patient visit. At-site study visits as 
outlined in the Schedule of Activities may be changed to a remote visit (eg, phone call, video call, 
or visiting nurse) as needed to address the COVID-19 restrictions. 
If the change to remote visits is implemented due to COVID-19 to protect the safety 
and well-being of patients, the inability to perform/obtain protocol-specified assessments at 
a required study visit will be documented.

4.3 
JUSTIFICATION FOR DOSE  
The dose of PRN473 selected for topical administration during the Blinded Period on Days 1-14 
in PRN473-0005 (ACT17131) is PRN473 Gel, 5% or matching placebo at approximately 
2.5 mg/cm2 over a 100 cm2 area encompassing each target lesion BID (approximately 12 hours 
apart). During the Open-Label Period on Days 15-42, PRN473 Gel, 5% at 2.5 mg/cm2 will be 
applied BID to all AD-affected areas excluding the scalp, palms, soles, and genitals over a body 
surface area of up to 14%. This dose is in the range of those associated with biological activity 
based on preclinical disease models and is therefore considered appropriate to evaluate in this 
initial assessment of PRN473 Gel efficacy in patients with AD.  
The proposed dosing regimens are supported by clinical safety data from the PRN473-0002 study. 
The total daily dose during the Blinded Period of the study (25 mg PRN473 active pharmaceutical 
ingredient [API] per day) is approximately 7-fold lower than the daily dose applied in the multiple 
dose arm of PRN473-0002 (175 mg PRN473 API per day). This dose was safe and well-tolerated 
and there were no serious adverse events (SAEs) or AEs that led to discontinuation. 
In the Open-Label Period, the dosing regimen of PRN473 5% (w/w) gel at 2.5 mg/cm2 gel over 
14% BSA BID will provide a daily PRN473 (API) dose of 665 mg to a patient with a total body 
surface area of 1.9 m2. This is less than the dose of 700 mg PRN473 (API), which was the highest 
dose administered in the PRN473-0002 single ascending dose/multiple dose study in healthy 
participants. This dose was safe and well-tolerated and there were no SAEs or AEs that led to 
discontinuation.  
Patients will measure the dose by the fingertip unit method and the expected dose variability when 
the compound is topically self-applied by this method may be up to two-fold excess of compound 
which is reasonably below the safety margin. 
In both the Blinded and Open-Label Periods, the locally applied dose of 0.125 mg API/cm2 is the 
same as that evaluated in the multiple dose arm of the PRN473-0002 study and is 4-fold lower 
than the highest dose that was evaluated in the single ascending dose part of PRN473-0002. 
In addition, this dose is approximately 8-fold lower than the maximum dose (1 mg API/cm2) used 
in the 28-day mini pig dermal repeated dose study (DVR489), in which there were no PRN473-
related changes, providing further support for the safety of the locally applied PRN473 dose of 
0.125 mg API/cm2. 
Systemic PRN473 exposures following administration of PRN473 Gel at all dose levels in study 
PRN473-0002 were negligible to nonexistent, with insufficient data to estimate PK parameters 
as plasma PRN473 concentrations were only sporadically detectable in a few participants. 
However, the safety of systemic PRN473 has been characterized in dog and rat toxicity studies in 
which the NOAEL doses in both species were substantially higher than the exposures following 
oral administration to humans. On Day 28, the male and female rat (most sensitive species) mean 
PRN473 Cmax values were 308 ng/mL and 713 ng/mL, respectively. At Week 13, the male 
and female rat mean PRN473 Cmax values were 339 ng/mL and 726 ng/mL, respectively. These 
systemic exposures represent a very large safety margin compared to measured exposures of 
PRN473 following topical administration of a 10% gel to the mini pig and following oral 
administration of PRN473 in healthy volunteers (Study PRN473-001).

The Investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have been 
maintained during transit for all study intervention received and any discrepancies are reported 
and resolved before use of the study intervention. The recommended storage condition is 2-8°C 
(Investigator’s Brochure). 
Only patients enrolled in the study may receive study intervention, and only authorized study staff 
(eg, site staff, trained medical professional, home health vendor, external clinic staff, etc) may 
supply or administer study intervention during the Blinded Period. At the study site, all study 
intervention must be stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored (manual or 
automated) area in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with access limited to the 
Investigator and authorized site staff. 
The Investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) is 
responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance 
(ie, receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records). When the study is completed, the 
Investigator will return or destroy any used and unused trial medication (eg, empty, partially used, 
and unused containers) to the Sponsor as requested. 
The Investigator or designee is responsible for the education of site staff as to the correct 
administration of the study intervention.  
When operationally feasible and if treating physician determines that it is appropriate and safe, 
administration of IMP may occur at study patient’s home or at an external clinic by a trained 
medical professional. These approaches will only be implemented if allowed by local regulations, 
and agreed by the treating physician, while ensuring blinding measures are maintained.  
Patients are required to apply an emollient (except urea-containing or medicated emollients that 
are regulated as medical device) daily from Day -7 to Day 1. Beginning on Day 1, emollient is to 
be applied only on untreated areas (eg, may not be used on the 2 target lesions during Days 1-14, 
and may not be used on any parts of the body being treated with PRN473 Gel, 5% during 
Days 15-42). 
PRN473 Gel, 5% or matching placebo will be removed from storage at 2-8°C and held at room 
temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to administration. Site staff or trained medical 
professional will apply PRN473 Gel, 5% or matching placebo with nitrile gloves to the 2 target 
lesions per the randomization assignment, as follows: 
• Approximately 2.5 mg gel/cm2 to each 100 cm2 target lesion on Days 1-14. If the target 
lesion is less than 100 cm2, the application area should include surrounding nonlesional 
skin; if the target lesion is larger than 100 cm2, only 100 cm2 of the lesion should be 
marked and treated.  
• On Days 15-42 (open-label period), patients are instructed to apply PRN473 Gel, 5% BID 
to all AD-affected areas in a thin layer, excluding the scalp, palms, soles, and genitals. 
Under no circumstances will the Investigator supply study intervention to a third party (except for 
direct to patient [DTP] shipment or direct to designated clinic for home health care option if 
patient is not able to be dosed at home, for which a courier company has been approved by the

Further details will be outlined in the Pharmacy Manual. 
6.3 
MEASURES TO MINIMIZE BIAS: RANDOMIZATION AND BLINDING  
PRN473 Gel, 5% or placebo will be randomized in a blinded fashion to be administered in each 
patient to 2 separate target lesions (one lesion with PRN473 Gel, 5%, the other with matching 
placebo) during the Blinded Period (Days 1-14). During the Open-Label Period (Days 15-42), 
PRN473 will be administered to all AD-affected areas in a thin layer, excluding the scalp, palms, 
soles, and genitals. 
To minimize bias, all safety and efficacy measurements will be performed by a study staff 
member who is not involved in the study intervention application during the Blinded Period. If the 
investigational products are applied at the patient’s home or at an external clinic, the local 
tolerability assessment will be performed by another trained medical professional, different than 
the person administering the study intervention. 
Allocation of lesions on patients to treatment group will proceed through the use of an interactive 
web response system (IWRS) that is accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. A randomized 
treatment kit number list will be generated centrally by Sanofi for the study interventions. The 
study interventions (PRN473 Gel, 5% or matching placebo) will be packaged in accordance with 
the list. All patients will be centrally assigned to randomized study intervention using an 
interactive response technology (IRT). Before the study is initiated, the telephone number and 
call-in directions for the IVRS and/or the log in information and directions for the IWRS will be 
provided to each site. During the Blinded Period of the study, the treatment each patient receives 
will not be disclosed to the Investigator, trial center personnel, patients, or the Sponsor’s 
representatives on the clinical study team. Further details for blinding and dispensing of blinded 
treatment are provided in the Pharmacy Manual.  
Access to the randomization code will be limited; all Sponsor personnel (and representatives), and 
site personnel who are directly involved in the conduct of the trial will be blinded to 
randomization codes. 
The pharmacist or designee will be required to enter or select information that will include, but 
not be limited to; the user ID, and password, patient number, patient year of birth, as well as other 
information (as allowed locally). The pharmacist or designee will then be provided with a patient 
randomization number and treatment assignment. Once patient numbers and randomization 
numbers have been assigned, they cannot be reassigned. Specific instructions will be provided in 
the IWRS trial reference guide.

Study intervention will be dispensed at the study visits summarized in the Schedule of Activities. 
Returned study intervention should not be re-dispensed to the patients. 
Sponsor safety staff may unblind the intervention assignment for any patient with an SAE. 
If the SAE requires that an expedited regulatory report be sent to one or more regulatory agencies, 
a copy of the report, identifying the patient’s intervention assignment, may be sent to Investigators 
in accordance with local regulations and/or Sponsor policy.  
The IRT will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an emergency, the 
Investigator has the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a patient’s intervention 
assignment is warranted (eg, in case of available antidote). Patient safety must always be the first 
consideration in making such a determination. If the Investigator decides that unblinding is 
warranted, the Investigator should make every effort to contact the Sponsor prior to unblinding 
a patient’s intervention assignment unless this could delay emergency treatment of the patient. If a 
patient’s intervention assignment is unblinded, the Sponsor must be notified within 24 hours after 
breaking the blind. The date and reason that the blind was broken must be recorded in the source 
documentation and case report form, as applicable. 
• In case of an interim analysis, the Sponsor team that will analyze the data would be 
composed of a Medical Monitor, a biostatistician, a programmer, and a safety designee. 
Only the biostatistician and the programmer will have the access to unblinded individual 
data at the time of the analysis, which will not be provided to other Sponsor team members 
reviewing the data. They will keep the randomization schedule in a locked area, which is 
not accessible to the Sponsor’s clinical team and will not disclose the randomization or the 
individual unblinded data before the official opening of the randomization (see 
Section 9.5).  
• The bioanalyst and the pharmacokineticist responsible for the sample analysis and PK 
evaluation will analyze data under blinded conditions and they will not have access to the 
randomization schedule. 
The Sponsor’s clinical study team, Investigator, Medical Monitor, study personnel, and patients 
are not to make any effort during the Blinded Period to determine which lesions are being treated 
with PRN473 Gel, 5%, and which are treated with matching placebo. 
Only in the case of an emergency, when knowledge of the lesion treatment assignment is essential 
for the clinical management or welfare of a specific patient, the Investigator may unblind a 
patient’s lesion treatment assignment. However, prior to any unblinding, the Investigator is 
strongly advised to discuss options with the Medical Monitor, Sponsor, or appropriate study 
personnel. The Investigator will record in source documentation, the date and reason for revealing 
the blinded lesion treatment assignment for that patient and the names and roles of personnel 
unblinded. 
As soon as possible, and without revealing the patient’s lesion treatment assignment (unless 
important to the safety of patients remaining in the study), the Investigator must notify the 
Sponsor if the blind is broken for any reason and the Investigator was unable to contact the 
Sponsor prior to unblinding.

STUDY INTERVENTION COMPLIANCE  
Study intervention will be administered under site staff or trained medical professional 
supervision during the Blinded Period. The date and time of each dose administered at the study 
site, at patient’s home, or at external clinic will be recorded. The dose of study intervention and 
patient identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing by site staff or trained medical 
professional other than the person administering the study intervention. Documentation will 
include the lesion identification for the patient’s 2 target lesions.  
During the Open-Label Period, patients will complete a daily diary to record PRN473 
administered.

CONCOMITANT THERAPY  
All medications, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins, and herbal 
supplements, taken during the 30 days prior to the first study intervention administration will be 
recorded and reviewed by the Investigator to determine whether the patient is suitable for 
inclusion in the study.  
All medications, and vaccines including OTC medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements, 
taken by patients during the course of the study will be recorded in the electronic case report form 
(eCRF) and coded using the most current World Health Organization (WHO) drug dictionary. 
Prior and concomitant medications will be listed by patient and summarized by anatomical 
therapeutic chemical (ATC) and preferred name. Any concomitant medication that the patient 
receives to treat an AE during the study must be recorded along with: 
• Reason for use 
• Dates of administration including start and end dates 
• Dosage information including dose and frequency

6.7.1 COVID-19 vaccination  
To allow for an optimal immune response as well as protection against COVID-19, it is strongly 
recommended that study patients receive their COVID vaccine (per local requirements) a 
minimum of 14 days prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. The safety profile and 
effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines on people with compromised immune systems or therapies 
that modify or that suppress their immune response, is not yet established. While vaccination with 
an approved COVID-19 vaccine is widely recommended, this decision should only be made by 
the patient, after discussing with his/her physician as well as the investigator to assess the benefits 
and risks of receiving a COVID-19 vaccination during this study. If the vaccine is authorized, 
available, and recommended by the local regulatory health authority, it may be administered 
during the study and should be administered according to the label or local health authority 
recommendations.

DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND PATIENT 
WITHDRAWAL  
7.1 
DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION   
7.1.1 Permanent discontinuation  
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a patient to permanently discontinue study intervention. 
If study intervention is permanently discontinued, the Investigator must discuss with the Medical 
Monitor to determine if the patient will be asked to continue with PK sample collection 
(if applicable and depending upon the study day on which the discontinuation occurs), 
and have early termination safety assessments (Day 43). See the Schedule of Activities in 
Section 1.3. 
Patients who are enrolled but who do not receive any dose of study intervention will be replaced. 
Patients may be replaced at the discretion of the Sponsor.  
The Investigator/Sponsor must permanently discontinue dosing with study intervention in a 
patient if any of the following patient-level stopping rules are met:  
• Pregnancy will lead to definitive study intervention discontinuation in all cases.  
• Change in compliance with inclusion/exclusion criteria that is clinically relevant and 
affects patient’s safety. 
• Intake of non-permitted concomitant medications that might affect patient’s safety or 
study assessments/objectives. 
• An allergic reaction, including an anaphylactic reaction, in association with IMP 
administration. 
• Occurrence of AEs, that, in the opinion of Investigator/Sponsor, may jeopardize patient’s 
safety or data integrity. These include, but are not limited to 
- 
Any opportunistic infection, such as TB or other infections whose nature or course 
may suggest an immunocompromised status. 
- 
Serum ALT >5 × ULN or ALT >3 × ULN and total bilirubin >2 ULN (see 
Section 10.3). 
Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory value, as assessed by the investigator, will be 
rechecked for confirmation as soon as possible before making a decision of definitive 
discontinuation of the IMP for the concerned patient. 
Handling of patients after permanent intervention discontinuation  
Patients will be followed-up according to the study procedures specified in this protocol up to the 
scheduled date of study completion, or up to recovery or stabilization of any AE to be followed-
up as specified in this protocol, whichever comes last.

If possible, and after the permanent discontinuation of intervention, the patients will be assessed 
using the procedure normally planned for the last dosing day with the IMP including a 
pharmacokinetics sample, if appropriate. 
All cases of permanent intervention discontinuation must be recorded by the Investigator in the 
appropriate pages of the eCRF when considered as confirmed. 
7.1.2 Liver chemistry stopping criteria  
Discontinuation of study intervention for abnormal liver tests is required by the Investigator when 
a patient meets one of the conditions outlined in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3) or in the presence of 
abnormal liver chemistries not meeting protocol-specified stopping rules if the Investigator 
believes that it is in best interest of the patient. 
7.1.3 QTc stopping criteria  
If a clinically significant finding is identified (including, but not limited to changes from baseline 
in QT interval corrected using Fridericia’s formula [QTcF] after enrollment, the Investigator or 
qualified designee will determine if the patient can continue in the study and if any change in 
patient management is needed. This review of the ECG printed at the time of collection must be 
documented. Any new clinically relevant finding should be reported as an AE. 
7.1.4 Hematology stopping criteria  
Discontinuation of study intervention for abnormal neutrophil or platelet tests is required by the 
Investigator when a patient meets one of the conditions outlined in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3) or 
in the presence of abnormal results not meeting protocol-specified stopping rules if the 
Investigator believes that it is in best interest of the patient. 
7.2 
PATIENT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL FROM THE STUDY  
A patient may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request or may be withdrawn at 
any time at the discretion of the Investigator or Sponsor for safety, behavioral, or compliance 
reasons. 
The patient may be discontinued from the study intervention but continue in the study for PK 
sample collection (if applicable) and follow-up visits. 
At the time of discontinuation, the patient should have early termination safety assessments 
(Day 43). See the Schedule of Activities in Section 1.3. 
If the patient withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the Sponsor may retain 
and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent.

7.3 
LOST TO FOLLOW-UP  
A patient will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she is unable to be contacted by the study 
site, and the following actions must be taken: 
• The site must attempt to contact the patient and reschedule the End of Study/Early 
Termination visit as soon as possible, counsel the patient on the importance of 
participating, and ascertain whether or not the patient wishes to participate. 
• Before a patient is deemed lost to follow-up, the Investigator or designee must make every 
effort to regain contact with the patient (where possible, 3 telephone calls 
and, if necessary, a certified letter to the patient's last known mailing address or local 
equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the patient’s 
medical record. 
• Should the patient continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study. 
Discontinuation of the study as a whole is described in Section 10.1.7.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES  
Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the Schedule of Activities in Section 1.3. 
Protocol waivers or exemptions are not permitted. 
Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the Medical Monitor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the patient should continue or discontinue study 
intervention. 
Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the Schedule 
of Activities, is essential and required for study conduct. 
All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential patients meet 
all eligibility criteria. Patients are permitted to be re-screened once. The Investigator will maintain 
a screening log to record details of all patients screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable. 
Procedures conducted as part of the patient's routine clinical management (eg, blood count) 
and obtained before signing of the informed consent form (ICF) may be utilized for screening 
or baseline purposes provided the procedures met the protocol-specified criteria and were 
performed within the time frame defined in the Schedule of Activities. 
The maximum amount of blood collected from each patient over the duration of the study, 
including any extra assessments that may be required, will not exceed 550 mL. 
Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues with the 
samples. 
8.1 
EFFICACY ASSESSMENTS  
Efficacy assessments will be performed per the Schedule of Assessments in Section 1.3: 
• Lesional PP-NRS is a patient-completed assessment to determine the intensity of lesion 
pruritus. 
• Lesional validated IGA is an Investigator assessment of the 2 target lesions during the 
Blinded Period and predose at D15 during the Open-Label Period. 
• Eczema Area and Skin Severity Index (EASI) is a validated Investigator-administered 
scoring system used to measure the severity of clinical signs in AD. 
• Validated Investigator Global Assessment-Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD; Appendix 4, 
Section 10.4.2) is an Investigator assessment of the global severity of clinical signs in AD. 
• Lesion TSS (Appendix 4, Section 10.4.3) is a scale that rates the severity of each of 4 AD 
symptoms (erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation, and lichenification) on a 4-point 
scale from 0 (none) to 3 (severe), for a total score ranging from 0 to 12.

• Estimation of treatable BSA. 
8.2 
SAFETY ASSESSMENTS  
Safety will be assessed by means of application site tolerability assessments (Appendix 4, 
Section 10.4.1), occurrence of AEs, clinical laboratory tests (serum chemistry, hematology, 
coagulation, urinalysis), vital signs measurements, 12-lead ECGs, and physical examinations. 
Planned timepoints for all safety assessments are provided in the Schedule of Activities in 
Section 1.3. 
8.2.1 Physical examinations  
A complete physical examination includes, at a minimum: assessments of the abdomen, chest, ear, 
head and neck, heart, lower limb, upper extremity, lung, musculoskeletal, neurological, rib, skin, 
thoracic vertebra, lumbar spine, and cervical vertebra. Height (only at screening) and weight will 
also be measured and recorded. 
A symptom-directed physical exam is to be performed as clinically indicated at visits when 
a complete examination is not specified. 
Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious illnesses. 
8.2.2 Vital signs  
Vital signs will be measured at the timepoints specified in the study schedule with patients resting 
for at least 5 minutes in a supine position. When the time of vital signs measurement coincides 
with a blood draw, the vital signs will be taken before the scheduled blood draw where possible, 
ensuring the blood draw is within the window specified. 
Additional vital sign measurements may be performed at other times if deemed necessary.

QTc withdrawal criteria and any additional QTc readings that may be necessary. 
The ECGs will be performed prior to vital signs with patients in a supine position. Patients must 
remain in this position for at least 5 minutes before the reading is taken. All ECG tracings will be 
reviewed by the Investigator or designee.  
When the time of ECG monitoring coincides with a blood draw, the ECG will be performed 
before the scheduled blood draw while ensuring the blood draw is within the window specified in 
the protocol. 
A repeat ECG can be performed if results are abnormal. 
8.2.4 Clinical safety laboratory assessments  
See Section 8.2.4.1 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the Schedule 
of Activities in Section 1.3 for the timing and frequency. 
The Investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record any 
clinically significant changes occurring during the study as an AE. The laboratory reports must be 
filed with the source documents. 
Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease are not considered clinically 
significant unless judged by the Investigator to be more severe than expected for the patient's 
condition.  
Any treatment-emergent abnormal laboratory or ECG result that is clinically significant 
(ie, meeting one or more of the following conditions) should be recorded as a single diagnosis on 
the AE page in the eCRF: 
• Accompanied by clinical symptoms 
• Leading to a change in study intervention (eg, dose modification, interruption, or 
permanent discontinuation) 
• Requiring a change in concomitant therapy (eg, addition of, interruption of, 
discontinuation of, or any other change in a concomitant medication, therapy, 
or treatment) 
Note: Any laboratory or ECG result abnormality fulfilling the criteria for a SAE must be 
reported as such, in addition to being recorded as an AE in the eCRF. 
The laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents.

Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease are not considered clinically 
significant unless judged by the Investigator to be a more severe variation in patient's disease 
activity than expected. 
All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during participation 
in the study or within 4 weeks after the last dose of study intervention should be repeated until the 
values return to normal or baseline or are no longer considered clinically significant by the 
Investigator or Medical Monitor. 
If clinically significant 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. 
All protocol-required laboratory tests, as defined in Section 8.2.4.1, must be conducted in 
accordance with the laboratory manual and the Schedule of Activities. 
If laboratory values from non-protocol-specified laboratory tests performed at the institution's 
local laboratory require a change in patient management or are considered clinically significant by 
the Investigator (eg, SAE or AE or dose modification), the results must be recorded. 
8.2.4.1 Clinical laboratory tests  
The tests detailed in Table 6 will be performed. Investigators must document their review of each 
laboratory safety report. Additional tests may be performed at any time during the study as 
determined necessary by the Investigator or required by local regulations.

AE will be reported by the patient (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the patient’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 patient to discontinue the study intervention (see Section 7). 
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the procedures 
for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Section 8.3.1. 
8.3.1 AEs and SAEs: Definitions and procedures for recording, evaluating, follow-up, and 
reporting  
8.3.1.1 Definition of AE  
AE Definition 
• An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related 
to the study intervention. 
• NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including 
an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of study intervention. 
Events Meeting the AE definition 
• Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) 
or other safety assessments (eg, ECG, radiological scans, vital signs measurements), 
including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically significant in the medical 
and scientific judgment of the Investigator (ie, not related to progression of underlying 
disease): 
- 
Symptomatic and/or 
- 
Requiring either corrective treatment or consultation, and/or  
- 
Leading to study intervention discontinuation or modification of dosing, and/or  
- 
Fulfilling a seriousness criterion, and/or  
• Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either 
an increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
• New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even though 
it may have been present before the start of the study. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication.

• “Lack of efficacy” or “failure of expected pharmacological action” per se will not be 
reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy assessments. 
However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy 
will be reported as AE or SAE if they fulfill the definition of an AE or SAE. 
Events NOT Meeting the AE definition 
• Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
Investigator to be more severe than expected for the patient’s condition. 
• The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of the 
disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the patient’s 
condition. 
• Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that leads to 
the procedure is the AE. 
• Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social 
and/or convenience admission to a hospital). 
• Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present 
or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen. 
8.3.1.2 Definition of SAE  
An SAE is defined as any AE that, at any dose: 
a) Results in death 
b) Is life-threatening 
The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an event in which the 
patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
c) Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
In general, hospitalization signifies that the patient has been admitted (usually involving at 
least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation and/or treatment 
that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or outpatient setting. 
Complications that occur during hospitalization are AEs. If a complication prolongs 
hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as 
to whether “hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered 
serious. 
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE. 
d) Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
- 
The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions.

- 
This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma (eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption. 
e) Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
f) Other situations: 
- 
Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised by the Investigator in deciding 
whether SAE reporting is appropriate in other situations such as significant medical 
events that may jeopardize the patient or may require medical or surgical intervention 
to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These events 
should usually be considered serious. 
Note: The following list of medically important events is intended to serve as 
a guideline for determining which condition has to be considered as a medically 
important event. The list is not intended to be exhaustive:  
- 
Intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for:  
- 
Allergic bronchospasm   
- 
Blood dyscrasias (ie, agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, bone marrow aplasia, 
myelodysplasia, pancytopenia, etc) 
- 
Convulsions (seizures, epilepsy, epileptic fit, absence, etc) 
- 
Development of drug dependence or drug abuse  
- 
Suicide attempt or any event suggestive of suicidality  
- 
Syncope, loss of consciousness (except if documented as a consequence of blood 
sampling)  
- 
Bullous cutaneous eruptions   
8.3.1.3 Recording and follow-up of AE and/or SAE  
AE and SAE recording 
• When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the Investigator to review all 
documentation (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostics reports) 
related to the event. 
• The Investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information. 
• It is not acceptable for the Investigator to send photocopies of the patient’s medical 
records to the Sponsor’s representative in lieu of completion of the required form. 
• There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are requested by 
the Sponsor’s representative. In this case, all patient identifiers, with the exception of the 
patient number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before submission to 
the Sponsor’s representative.

• The Investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not the 
individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE. 
Assessment of Intensity 
The Investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported during the 
study and assign it to 1 of the following categories: 
• Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the patient, causing minimal discomfort and not 
interfering with everyday activities. 
• Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort to interfere with normal everyday 
activities. 
• Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed as 
severe should not be confused with an SAE. “Severe” is a category used for rating the 
intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
An event is defined as “serious” when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes as described 
in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe. 
Assessment of Causality 
• The Investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention 
and each occurrence of each AE/SAE. 
• A "reasonable possibility" of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than that a relationship cannot 
be ruled out. 
• The Investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
• Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other risk 
factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• The Investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment. 
• For each AE/SAE, the Investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she has 
reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the Investigator has minimal 
information to include in the initial report to the Sponsor. However, it is very important 
that the Investigator always make an assessment of causality for every event before 
the initial transmission of the SAE data to the Sponsor. 
• The Investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up information 
and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality assessment. 
• The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory reporting 
requirements.

Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
• 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’s 
representative 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 patient dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up period, 
the Investigator will provide the Sponsor with a copy of any post-mortem findings 
including histopathology. 
• New or updated information will be recorded in the originally submitted documents. 
• The Investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the Sponsor within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information. 
8.3.1.4 Reporting of SAEs  
SAE reporting to the Sponsor via an electronic data collection tool 
• The primary mechanism for reporting an SAE to the Sponsor’s representative will be the 
electronic data collection tool. 
• If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data collection 
tool (see next section) to report the event within 24 hours. 
• The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes available. 
• After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will be taken 
off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
• If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study patient or receives updated data on 
a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been taken off-line, 
then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see next section) or to the 
Sponsor’s representative by telephone. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the study reference manual. 
SAE reporting to the Sponsor via paper data collection tool 
• Facsimile transmission of the SAE paper data collection tool is the preferred method to 
transmit this information to the Sponsor’s representative. 
• In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by telephone 
is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by overnight mail or courier 
service. 
• Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the Investigator to complete 
and sign the SAE data collection tool within the designated reporting time frames. 
• Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the study reference manual.

8.3.2 Time period and frequency for collecting AE and SAE information  
All AEs (serious or nonserious) will be collected from the signing of the ICF until the follow-up 
visit at the timepoints specified in the Schedule of Activities (Section 1.3). 
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the Sponsor or designee immediately and under no 
circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Section 8.3.1. The Investigator will 
submit any updated SAE data to the Sponsor within 24 hours of it being available. 
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs after conclusion 
of the study participation. However, if the Investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, 
at any time after a patient 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. 
8.3.3 Method of detecting AEs and SAEs  
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended 
and non-leading verbal questioning of the patient is the preferred method to inquire about AE 
occurrences. 
8.3.4 Follow-up of AEs and SAEs  
After the initial AE /SAE report, the Investigator is required to proactively follow each patient at 
subsequent visits/contacts. At the pre-specified study end-date, all SAEs, and will be followed 
until resolution, stabilization, the event is otherwise explained, or the patient is lost to follow-up 
(as defined in Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is provided in 
Section 8.3.1. 
8.3.5 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 patients 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, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and Investigators. 
• Serious adverse events that are considered expected will be specified in the reference 
safety information in the Investigator’s Brochure.  
• Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSARs) according to local regulatory requirements and Sponsor policy and 
forwarded to Investigators as necessary.

• An Investigator who receives an Investigator safety report describing an SAE, SUSAR, or 
any other specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the Sponsor 
will review and then file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and will notify the 
IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements. It is the responsibility of the 
Sponsor to assess whether an event meets the criteria for a SUSAR, and therefore, is 
expedited to regulatory authorities. 
8.3.6 Pregnancy  
• Details of all pregnancies in female patients and female partners of male patients will be 
collected after the start of study intervention and through 30 days after the final dose of the 
study intervention. 
• If a pregnancy is reported, the Investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to the Sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the female 
patient or female partner of male patient (after obtaining the necessary signed informed 
consent from the female partner) pregnancy. 
- 
Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs and will be reported as 
such 
• The patient/pregnant female partner will be followed to determine the outcome of the 
pregnancy. The Investigator will collect follow-up information on the patient/pregnant 
female partner and the neonate, and the information will be forwarded to the Sponsor. 
• Any post-study pregnancy-related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the Investigator will be reported to the Sponsor as described in 
Section 8.3.5. While the Investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information in 
former study patient/pregnant female partner, he or she may learn of an SAE through 
spontaneous reporting. 
• Any female patient who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
discontinue study intervention or be withdrawn from the study. 
8.3.7 Expedited reporting requirements   
The AEs below will be recorded and reported to the Sponsor or designee immediately and under 
no circumstance should this exceed 24 hours. Such events may require further investigation in 
order to characterize and understand them.  
• Symptomatic overdose (serious or nonserious) with study intervention  
- 
An overdose (accidental or intentional) with the study intervention is an event 
suspected by the Investigator or spontaneously notified by the patient (not based on 
study intervention tube weight) and defined as greater than twice the intended dose 
within the intended therapeutic interval, adjusted according to the tested drug.

• If a pregnancy is reported, the Investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to the Sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the pregnancy 
(see Section 8.3.6). 
8.3.8 Guidelines for reporting product complaints  
Any defect in the study intervention must be reported as soon as possible by the Investigator to 
the monitoring team that will complete a product complaint form within required timelines. 
Appropriate information (eg, samples, labels, or documents like pictures or photocopies) 
related to product identification and to the potential deficiencies may need to be gathered. 
The Investigator will assess whether or not the quality issue has to be reported together with 
an AE or SAE. 
8.4 
PHARMACOKINETICS  
Blood samples of approximately 4 mL per sample will be collected for measurement of plasma 
concentrations of PRN473 as specified in the Schedule of Activities in Section 1.3. Venipuncture 
should not occur within a treated area. 
Instructions for the collection and handling of biological samples will be provided by the Sponsor. 
The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of each sample will be recorded. 
The actual collection time of each sample must be recorded in the source data documentation, and 
in the eCRF. The allowed time deviation window before a deviation is recorded for blood sample 
collection post dose is 15 minutes for timepoints up to and including 6 hours postdose; predose 
samples should be collected within 30 minutes prior to the next application of study intervention . 
Samples will be used to evaluate the PK of PRN473. Samples collected for analyses of PRN473 
plasma concentration may also be used to evaluate safety or efficacy aspects related to concerns 
arising during or after the study. Pharmacokinetic endpoints are listed in Section 3. 
After the blood samples are analyzed for plasma PRN473 concentrations, any residual samples 
may be used for analysis such as metabolite profiling and identification, interacting drug 
concentration measurements, ex vivo protein binding, or development of PK assays. Residual PK 
samples will be destroyed within 1 month of withdrawal of consent. Residual PK samples will be 
stored for 5 years after the final Clinical Study Report, at which point they will be destroyed. 
Genetic analyses will not be performed on these samples. Patient confidentiality will be 
maintained.

BIOMARKERS  
Changes in protein and RNA expression, lymphocyte infiltration, and epidermal thickness 
following treatment with PRN473 will be evaluated using blood samples, skin tape stripping and 
skin biopsy. 
Changes in blood biomarkers will be assessed following treatment with PRN473. 
Future research may help further the understanding of disease subtypes, disease biology, related 
conditions, drug response and toxicity, and can help identify new drug targets or biomarkers that 
predict participant response to treatment. Therefore, data and biological samples will be stored 
and used for future research when consented to by participants (see Section 10.1.3) unless 
prohibited by local laws or IRBs/IECs (in such case, consent for future use of sample will not be 
included in the local ICF).  
For patients who consent to the storage and use of their data and remaining and/or extra clinical 
samples, data and samples may be used after the study ends for future research related either to 
the drug, the mechanism of action, and the disease or its associated conditions. Such research may 
include, but is not limited to, performing assessments on DNA, RNA, proteins, or metabolites. If 
future research on genetic material is performed, this will also be limited to the purpose of 
addressing research questions related to the drug, the mechanism of action, the disease, or its 
associated conditions. 
In the event future research is conducted for other purposes, the study patients will be informed of 
those purposes and will be given means to object to those research projects. 
Data and samples will be used in compliance with the information provided to patients in the ICF. 
All study patient data and samples will be coded such that no patient direct identifiers will be 
linked to them. Coded data and samples may be transferred to a Sponsor site (or a subcontractor 
site), which may be located outside of the country where the study is conducted. The Sponsor 
adopts safeguards for protecting patient confidentiality and personal data (see Section 10.1.4). 
The samples will be stored for a maximum of 15 years after the end of the study. Any samples 
remaining at the end of retention period will be destroyed. If a patient requests destruction of 
his/her samples before the end of the retention period, the Investigator must notify the Sponsor (or 
its contract organization) in writing. In such case, samples will be destroyed, and related coded 
data will be anonymized unless otherwise required by applicable laws. 
Study patient coded data will be stored for future research for up to 25 years after the end of the 
study. If data are still considered of important scientific value after this period, coded data already 
available will be anonymized unless otherwise required by applicable laws (the same will apply to 
the data of a study patient who has requested the destruction of his/her samples).

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS  
9.1 
STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES  
No statistical hypotheses will be tested. 
9.2 
SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION  
No sample size calculations were performed due to the exploratory nature of this study. 
The sample size of up to 40 for this study with patients receiving both PRN473 Gel, 5% 
and placebo is based upon empirical clinical consideration. The sample size is considered 
adequate to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of topically administered PRN473.  
This study is signal seeking and neither aimed nor powered to provide formal inferential statistical 
analyses.

STATISTICAL ANALYSES  
The Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) will be issued prior to database lock and will include a more 
technical and detailed description of the statistical analyses and the tables and graphs described in 
this section.  
This section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the key endpoints. 
9.4.1 General considerations  
In general, descriptive statistics (ie, arithmetic mean, standard deviation [SD], median, minimum, 
and maximum) will be calculated for continuous valued measurements, for each treatment where 
appropriate. Changes and percent changes from baseline to each applicable scheduled post-
baseline timepoint will similarly be summarized by treatment where appropriate. Frequency 
summaries (ie, count and percentage of observations at each category level) will be applied for 
categorical data for each scheduled timepoint by treatment where appropriate. 
9.4.2 Endpoints  
Endpoints are listed in Table 3. 
9.4.3 Analysis of efficacy data  
Efficacy analyses will be based on the Efficacy population. A patient will be considered evaluable 
per endpoint and study period, if they receive at least 80% of prescribed study intervention in that 
period and have a post-baseline assessment of the corresponding endpoint for that period (ie, after 
Day 1 or after Day 15). 
Where appropriate, supplemental analyses will be presented excluding observations after 
administration of rescue medication. Imputation would then be performed for missing 
observations including those due to withdrawal due to lack of efficacy, as will be specified in the 
SAP. 
Efficacy analyses will be an early explorative assessment and performed without the aim of 
formal inferential statistics. No adjustment will be made for multiple analyses.  
Treatment differences or ratios will be assessed for PRN473 Gel, 5% versus placebo, mainly at 
Day 15. Data will be presented by treatment for the Blinded Period where assessed per lesion, and 
overall otherwise, as well as for the Open-Label Period. 
9.4.3.1 Lesion Total Sign Score (TSS)  
Main comparison for TSS will be the comparison between PRN473 Gel, 5% and placebo for 
change from Baseline to Day 15.

Change in TSS will be analyzed with a linear mixed effects model with fixed terms for treatment 
and with baseline TSS as a covariate 
Change in TSS = baseline TSS + treatment + error 
and with an unstructured matrix of treatment variances and covariance for patient, using SAS Proc 
Mixed®. In case of convergence problems, other variance-covariance structures will be explored. 
Baseline TSS will be defined as the mean TSS from the two treated lesions at baseline.  
The 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for the treatments effect will be obtained for the difference 
between treatment means within the linear mixed effects model framework. Additionally, 
80% CIs will be derived and presented.  
Descriptive statistics and graphical displays will be provided for all timepoints. 
Additional explorative analyses may be performed. 
9.4.3.2 Further efficacy endpoints during the blinded period  
Further efficacy endpoints during the blinded period will be summarized per treatment 
and timepoint: 
• Change from Baseline in daily lesional PP-NRS score up to Day 15 
• Change from Baseline in lesional validated IGA score at Days 8 and 15 
• Lesional validated IGA response (proportion of patients with a validated IGA score of 0 or 
1 and ≥2-grade improvement from Baseline) at Days 8 and 15 
Further explorative analyses may be performed. 
9.4.3.3 Eczema Area and Skin Severity Index (EASI)  
The following endpoints will be derived and analysed: 
• Change from Baseline in EASI at Days 29 and 43 
• Change from Day 15 in EASI to Days 29 and 43 
• Proportion of patients with EASI 50, EASI 75, and EASI 90 from Day 15 to Days 29 
and 43 
Changes in EASI from Day 15 to Day 29 and to Day 43 will be analyzed descriptively. 
Estimations with 95% and 80% CIs may be derived. Descriptive statistics and graphical displays 
will be provided per timepoint. 
Frequency tables will be provided for EASI 50, EASI 75, and EASI 90. 
Further explorative analyses may be performed.

• Change from Baseline in TSS for the 2 target lesions at Days 29 and 43. 
• Change in PP-NRS from Day 15 to Days 29 and 43 
• Proportion of patients achieving at least 3-point reduction from Day 15 in PP-NRS at 
Days 29 and 43 
• Proportion of patients achieving at least a 4-point reduction from Day 15 in PP-NRS 
at Days 29 and 43 
• Change from Day 15 in weekly mean of PP-NRS at Days 29 and 43 
• Change from Day 15 in SCORAD at Days 29 and 43 
• Change from Day 15 in percentage of treatable BSA at Days 29 and 43  
• Change from Baseline in POEM at Days 15, 29, and 43 
• Change from Baseline in DLQI at Days 15, 29, and 43 
9.4.4 Analysis of safety data  
The safety evaluation will be based upon the review of the individual values (clinically significant 
abnormalities), descriptive statistics (summary tables, figures) and, if needed, on statistical 
analysis (appropriate estimations, confidence intervals). No statistical significance tests will be 
performed on safety data. 
Potentially clinically significant abnormality (PCSA) values are defined as abnormal values 
considered medically important by the Sponsor, according to predefined criteria/thresholds based 
on literature reviews and defined by the Sponsor for clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and ECG 
parameters. 
All the safety analyses will be performed based on the safety population. Where appropriate, 
supplemental analyses will be presented excluding observations after administration of rescue 
medication. 
For all safety data variables, the following observation periods are defined and used for 
classification of AEs, determination of on-treatment PCSA values, and the last on-treatment value 
for laboratory and vital sign parameters:

• The pre-treatment period is defined as the time between informed consent signature 
and the first study intervention administration. 
• The treatment-emergent period is defined as the time from the first study intervention 
administration through the End of Study visit.  
• The post treatment period is defined as the time starting after the treatment-emergent 
period. 
9.4.4.1 Assignment to treatment and study phase  
Safety data will be assigned to study phase as following: 
• Blinded Period, if the TEAE onset was between the first administration (Day 1) of any 
study intervention in the Blinded Period and the first administration of study intervention 
(PRN473 Gel, 5%) in the Open-Label Period (scheduled Day 15). 
• Open-Label Period, if the TEAE onset was after the first administration of study 
intervention (PRN473 Gel, 5%) in the Open-Label Period (scheduled Day 15).  
Adverse events which are possibly related to study intervention and have onset date after the first 
dose of PRN473 will be considered possibly related to PRN473, unless they are documented as 
possibly related to the study intervention formulation of the placebo-treated lesion and not 
possibly related to the study intervention formulation of the PRN473 Gel, 5%-treated lesion.

9.4.4.2 Analyses of adverse events  
Adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA; 
version in use by the Sponsor at the time of database lock). Clinical judgment should be used to 
determine the severity of AEs. 
Adverse events will be classified into predefined standard categories according to chronological 
criteria: 
• Pre-treatment AEs: AEs that occurred, worsened, or became serious during the 
pre-treatment period. 
• Treatment-emergent AEs: AEs that occurred, worsened, or became serious during the TE 
period. 
• Post-treatment AEs: AEs that occurred, worsened, or became serious during the 
post-treatment period. 
If the onset date (or time) of an AE (occurrence, worsening, or becoming serious) is incomplete or 
missing, the AE will be considered as a TEAE unless a partial date (or time) shows it as a pre- or 
post-treatment event. 
All AEs reported in the study will be listed, sorted by patient, onset date, and time. 
Main summary will be per study period (Blinded Period, Open-Label Period) and overall.  
If selected TEAEs from the Blinded Period can be clearly assigned to one of the study 
intervention treated lesions, they may be presented additionally assigned to the treatment of the 
corresponding lesion.  
Any TEAEs which may occur between the first administration of placebo and the first 
administration of PRN473 Gel, 5% will be presented separately. 
9.4.4.3 Local cutaneous tolerability  
Signs of local cutaneous intolerability as incidence and severity of application-site 
burning/stinging, itching, and erythema will be summarized for the Blinded Period by treatment 
(PRN473 Gel, 5% or placebo) and overall for the open-label phase.  
9.4.4.4 Extent of study treatment exposure and compliance  
A summary table presenting the exposure of treatment (ie, the number of days or weeks 
of administration) will be provided by treatment group for the Safety population.

9.4.4.5 Laboratory data  
Descriptive statistics of all laboratory data variables (values and changes from Baseline) will be 
calculated for each scheduled visit (Baseline and post-Baseline timepoints). Frequencies for 
PCSAs will be presented. 
9.4.4.6 Vital signs  
Descriptive statistics of all vital signs variables (values and changes from Baseline) will be 
calculated for each scheduled visit (Baseline and post-Baseline timepoints). Frequencies for 
PCSAs will be presented. 
9.4.4.7 Electrocardiogram  
Descriptive statistics (including number, mean, median, standard deviation, minimum, 
and maximum) of all ECG variables (values and changes from Baseline), will be calculated for 
each visit (Baseline and post-Baseline timepoints). Frequencies for PCSAs will be presented. 
9.4.5 Analysis of pharmacokinetic data  
Due to the negligible amount of systemic absorption observed following topical administration of 
PRN473 Gel to healthy subjects, the PK sampling scheme is designed to be semi-sparse. For that 
reason, plasma PRN473 concentrations, but not plasma PRN473 PK parameters, will be reported. 
9.4.5.1 Pharmacokinetic parameters  
Not applicable. 
9.4.5.2 Analysis of pharmacokinetic concentrations  
For PK concentrations, the arithmetic mean, SD, median, minimum, maximum, percent 
coefficient of variation (CV%), geometric mean, geometric coefficient of variation (geometric 
CV%), and the number of observations below the limit of quantification (BLQ) values will be 
presented by timepoint. For the purpose of calculating summary statistics, plasma concentrations 
(and applicable metabolites) that are BLQ will be set to 0 if taken before first study intervention , 
and to missing elsewhere. Additional analyses will be performed as deemed necessary upon 
review of the data. 
Graphical displays of concentrations over time may also be presented.

INTERIM ANALYSIS  
An interim analysis for internal decision making may be implemented with approximately 25 or 
more of the planned participants who have completed the Blinded Period (Day 14). Available data 
of the Open Label Period may be included in the analysis as appropriate. The outcome is meant 
for internal decision making and may lead to early termination of the study in case of unfavorable 
signals or continuation without any changes. 
The Sponsor team that will analyze the data will include: a Medical Monitor, a biostatistician, a 
programmer, and a safety designee. Only the biostatistician and the programmer will have the 
access to unblinded individual data at the time of the analysis, which will not be provided to other 
Sponsor team members reviewing the data. Details of the analysis will be specified in a dedicated 
analysis plan, and results will be provided in a restricted way following a dissemination plan, 
issued before any treatment code release for the analysis established upfront before the 
unblinding. The blinding will be preserved notably toward the Investigator, other site staff 
involved in the conduct of the trial, and participants.

• Sponsor chooses to terminate the study  
10.1.7.2 Study/Site termination  
The Sponsor or designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any 
time for any reason at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon study 
completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study supplies 
have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed. 
The Investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable cause 
and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination. 
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the Sponsor or Investigator may include but are 
not limited to: 
For study termination: 
• Discontinuation of further study intervention development. 
For site termination: 
• Failure of the Investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the IRB/IEC or 
local health authorities, the Sponsor's procedures, or GCP guidelines. 
• Inadequate or no recruitment (evaluated after a reasonable amount of time) of patients by 
the Investigator. 
• Total number of patients included earlier than expected. 
If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, the Sponsor shall promptly inform the 
Investigator, the IECs/IRBs, the regulatory authorities, and any Contract Research Organization(s) 
used in the study of the reason for termination or suspension, as specified by the applicable 
regulatory requirements. The Investigator shall promptly inform the patients and should assure 
appropriate therapy and/or follow-up.

APPENDIX 2: CONTRACEPTIVE AND BARRIER GUIDANCE  
10.2.1 Definition  
A woman is considered WOCBP (fertile) from the time of menarche until becoming 
postmenopausal (see below) unless permanently sterile (see below). 
• A postmenopausal state is defined as the period of time after a woman has experienced no 
menses for 12 consecutive months without an alternative medical cause. 
• A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used 
to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or 
hormonal replacement therapy (HRT).  
• Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of 
the non-estrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they wish to continue 
their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation 
of postmenopausal status before study enrollment. 
Permanent sterilization methods include: 
• Documented hysterectomy 
• Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
• Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
• For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than the 
above, (eg, Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), investigator 
discretion should be applied to determining study entry eligibility. 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the patient’s medical records, 
medical examination, or medical history interview.

01-Mar-2022 Final 
If fertility is unclear (eg, amenorrhea in adolescents or athletes) and a menstrual cycle cannot be 
confirmed before first administration of study intervention, additional evaluation should be 
considered. 
Women in the following categories are considered WONCBP: 
1. Any female with permanent infertility due to one of the following: 
- 
Documented hysterectomy 
- 
Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
- 
Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
- 
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than 
the above, (eg, Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), 
Investigator discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
2. Postmenopausal female 
A postmenopausal state is defined as the period of time after a woman has experienced no 
menses for 12 consecutive months without an alternative medical cause. 
- 
A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be 
used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or 
hormonal replacement therapy (HRT).  
- 
Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt must discontinue HRT to 
allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment. 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the patient’s medical records, 
medical examination, or medical history interview. 
10.2.2 Contraception guidance  
• If locally required, acceptable contraceptive methods are limited to those which inhibit 
ovulation as the primary mode of action

CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE: 
Highly Effective Methodsb That Have Low User Dependency Failure rate of <1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly. 
• Implantable progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationc 
• Intrauterine device (IUD) 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)c 
• Bilateral tubal occlusion 
• Azoospermic partner (vasectomized or due to a to medical cause) 
Azoospermia is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of 
the woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If not, an additional 
highly effective method of contraception should be used. Spermatogenesis cycle is approximately 90 days. 
Note: documentation of azoospermia for a male patient can come from the site personnel’s review of the 
patient’s medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
Highly Effective Methodsb That Are User Dependent Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently 
and correctly. 
Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationc 
- 
oral 
- 
intravaginal 
- 
transdermal 
- injectable 
Progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationc 
-

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 patient) 
a Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for those 
participating in clinical studies. 
b Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Typical use failure rates differ from those when used consistently 
and correctly. 
c Male condoms must be used in addition to hormonal contraception. If locally required, in accordance with Clinical Trial 
Facilitation Group (CTFG) guidelines, acceptable contraceptive methods are limited to those which inhibit ovulation as the primary 
mode of action. 
Note: Periodic abstinence (calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and 
lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM) are not acceptable methods of contraception. Male condom and female condom should not be 
used together (due to risk of failure with friction)

10.2.3 Collection of pregnancy information  
Male patients with partners who become pregnant 
• The Investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male patient’s 
female partner who becomes pregnant while the male patient is in this study. This applies 
only to male patients who receive the IMP. 
• 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. 
Female patients who become pregnant 
• The Investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female patient who becomes 
pregnant while participating in this study. The initial information will be recorded on the 
appropriate form and submitted to the Sponsor within 24 hours of learning of a patient's 
pregnancy.  
• The patient will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The Investigator 
will collect follow-up information on the patient and the neonate and the information will 
be forwarded to the Sponsor. Generally, follow-up will not be required for longer than 6 to 
8 weeks beyond the estimated delivery date. Any termination of pregnancy will be 
reported, regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for the 
procedure. 
• Any pregnancy complication or elective termination of a pregnancy for medical reasons 
will be reported as an AE or SAE.  
• A spontaneous abortion (occurring at <22 weeks gestational age) or still birth (occurring at 
>22 weeks gestational age) is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as 
such.  
• Any post-study pregnancy related SAE considered reasonably related to the study 
intervention by the Investigator will be reported to the Sponsor as described in 
Section 8.3.5. While the Investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information in 
former study patients, he or she may learn of an SAE through spontaneous reporting. 
• Any female patient who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will 
discontinue study intervention or be withdrawn from the study.

INTRODUCTION  
1.1 
STUDY DESIGN  
PRN473 is also known as SAR444727 and both terminologies are used in an interchangeable way 
in this document. For the reporting “SAR444727” will be used. 
Study ACT17131 is a Phase 2a that consists of a randomized, double-blind, intra-patient placebo-
controlled treatment period and an open-label uncontrolled treatment period.  
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and 
preliminary efficacy of topically administered SAR444727 in up to 40 participants with mild to 
moderate atopic dermatitis (AD). 
On Day 1 (Baseline) of the Blinded Period, 2 target lesions of 100 cm2 area each with a difference 
no greater than 1 point in lesional Total Sign Score (TSS) are randomly assigned to treatment in 
an intra-participant 1:1 manner, with one lesion assigned to SAR444727 Gel 5% and the other to 
matching placebo (ie, same inactive ingredients). SAR444727 Gel 5% and matching placebo (ie, 
same inactive ingredients) are applied twice a day (BID, morning and evening) at a quantity of 
2.5 mg/cm2 to a 100 cm2 area of each target lesion on Days 1-14 (Blinded Period). On Days 15-42 
(Open-Label Period), participants are instructed to apply SAR444727 Gel, 5% BID to all AD-
affected areas in a thin layer (excluding the scalp, palms, soles and genitals), and should continue 
to treat the assigned areas throughout the Open-label Period. 
Participation will take approximately 13 weeks, including up to a 5-week screening period, a 
6-week treatment period (2-week blinded and 4-week open label), end of study assessments 1 day 
after last dose, and a safety follow-up phone call 2 weeks after last dose.

ANALYSIS POPULATIONS  
The following populations for analyses are defined: 
Table 2 - Populations for analyses  
Participants Analysis Set 
Description 
Screened 
All participants who signed the informed consent form (ICF). 
Enrolled/Randomized 
All participants from the screened population who have been allocated to 
a randomized intervention for each target lesion by interactive response technology 
(IRT) regardless of whether the intervention was received. 
Safety 
All randomized participants who receive any amount of study drug (SAR444727 
or placebo) will be included in the Safety population. The Safety population will be 
based on the intervention actually received and will be used for the summaries of all 
safety assessments.  
Pharmacokinetic 
All participants who received any amount of active study drug (SAR444727) and have 
at least one pharmacokinetics (PK) sample taken will be included in the PK population. 
The PK population will be used for the summaries of all PK data. 
Efficacy 
- 
For double blind period 
All randomized participants who did actually receive at least 80% of prescribed study 
drug in the Blinded Period (for both lesion)  and with at least 1 post-study drug 
administration efficacy (TSS) measurement.  
- 
For open label period 
All randomized participants who did actually receive at least 80% of prescribed study 
drug in the Blinded Period (for both lesion) and at least 80% of prescribed study drug 
in the Open-Label Period and at least 1 post-study drug administration efficacy (TSS) 
measurement. 
Participants will be analyzed according to the intervention they actually received.  
Biomarker 
All randomized participants with no important deviations impacting Biomarker 
measurements, for whom the Biomarker data are considered sufficient 
and interpretable.  
Note: “Screened” means a participant's, or their legally acceptable representative’s, agreement to 
participate in a clinical study following completion of the informed consent process.  
Participants exposed to study intervention before or without being randomized will not be 
considered randomized and will not be included in any analysis population.  The safety 
experience of these participants will be reported separately.

STATISTICAL ANALYSES  
3.1 
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS  
In general, unless otherwise specified, continuous data will be summarized using the number of 
observations available, mean, Standard Deviation (SD), median, range (minimum and maximum). 
Categorical and ordinal data will be summarized using the count and percentage of participants, as 
appropriate. 
The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first dose of Investigational 
Medicinal Product (IMP). For participants randomized but not treated, the baseline value is defined 
as the last available value before randomization. 
Unless otherwise specified, analyses will be performed by intervention group (and overall, for 
baseline and demographics characteristics). 
Observation period  
The observation period will be divided into 3 segments:  
• The pre-treatment period is defined as the period up to first IMP administration. 
• The treatment-emergent (TE) period is defined as the period from the first IMP 
administration to the end of study (EOS) visit (EOS day included).  
• The post-treatment period is defined as the period from the end of the TE period (starting 
the day after date of EOS visit). 
Double blind analysis period is defined as the period from the date of first IMP up to the Day 15 
(administration of first open label IMP) Visit or date of IMP discontinuation which ever comes 
first. 
3.2 
PRIMARY ENDPOINT(S) ANALYSIS  
The primary endpoints detailed in this section are safety and tolerability of SAR444727 in 
participants with mild to moderate AD. Details are given in Section 3.6. 
3.2.1 Definition of endpoint(s)  
The primary endpoints are incidence and severity of the adverse events (AEs) defined in 
Section 3.6.2, the standard clinical parameters (vital signs and electrocardiograms [ECGs]), the 
laboratory parameters defined in Section 3.6.3.1 and the assessment of local cutaneous tolerability 
defined in Section 3.6.3.2.  
3.2.2 Main analytical approach  
All the safety analyses will be performed based on the safety population defined in Table 2.

The safety evaluation will be based upon the review of the individual values (clinically significant 
abnormalities), descriptive statistics (summary tables and figures). No statistical significance tests 
will be performed on safety data. No imputation will be performed. 
Safety measures include AEs, Treatment-Emergent AEs (TEAEs), Serious AEs (SAEs), AEs 
leading to study intervention, treatment discontinuation (permanent or not), study discontinuation, 
and death. Overall AEs, TEAEs, and SAEs incidence tables will be presented by System Organ 
Class (SOC), high level group term (HLGT), high level term (HLT), and preferred term (PT for 
each study period and overall, showing the number (n) and percentage (%) of participants 
experiencing an AE. They will be described according to maximum intensity and relation to the 
study intervention.  
Proportion of participants with at least 1 TEAE, treatment emergent SAE, TEAE leading to death, 
and TEAE leading to definitive treatment discontinuation will be tabulated by study period 
and overall.  
For the changes in vital signs, ECGs and laboratory tests, the incidence of potentially clinically 
significant abnormalities (PCSAs) occurring during the TE period will be summarized overall and 
by baseline status.

SECONDARY ENDPOINT(S) ANALYSIS  
The secondary endpoints are the Plasma SAR444727 concentrations at specified timepoints 
defined in Section 3.7.1.1.  
3.4 
TERTIARY/EXPLORATORY ENDPOINT(S) ANALYSIS  
There are two type of exploratory endpoints. The first exploratory endpoint is biomarker to 
evaluate changes in blood samples, skin tape strippings, and skin biopsies. Details are given in 
Section 3.7.1.2. 
The second exploratory endpoints are efficacy endpoints during double-blind period and Open-
label period based on the efficacy population. For the double-blind period, treatment differences 
or ratios will be assessed for SAR444727 Gel, 5% versus placebo at Day 8 and Day 15, and data 
will be presented by treatment for the blinded period, for scores assessed per lesion, and overall 
otherwise. During the Open-Label Period, efficacy will be assessed mainly at Days 29 and 43,

Analyses for continuous endpoints 
The descriptive statistics (mean, SD, SEM, median, Q1, Q3, and range) for all continuous 
endpoints collected will be provided by treatment and time point on raw data, absolute changes or 
percent changes from baseline using the baseline efficacy population. Boxplots will also be 
provided by treatment and time point. Absolute or percent change from baseline and ratio from 
Baseline (mean ± SEM and/or median with interquartile range) will also be produced by 
treatment for the double blind period. 
For the intra-participant comparison of SAR444727 vs placebo, a linear mixed model (using 
restricted maximum likelihood) with repeated measurements will be fitted to estimate the 
difference in mean change in lesional TSS from Baseline to Day 15; and from Baseline to Day 8.  
In addition to the visit, treatment, and visit-by-treatment interaction terms, the model includes the 
participant-specific baseline lesional TSS score covariate. Repeated measurements for visit are 
taken within participant and an unstructured covariance matrix will be used to model the within-
subject variance-covariance errors. Baseline lesional TSS will be defined as the mean TSS from 
the two treated lesions at Baseline. 
Change from baseline TSS= Intercept + TSSbase + VISIT + TRT + VISIT*TRT +  Error 
Least square means will be calculated for change from Baseline to Day15 for both treatments and 
differences of means for SAR444727 versus placebo with two-sided 95% CI will be derived from 
the model framework. 
The model may be simplified if there are convergence issues.

Participants with missing data at Baseline will not be included in the analysis. Participants with 
one or more post-dose timepoints will be included. Mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) 
to account for missing data is used for the primary analysis under the missing at random (MAR) 
framework. Parameters will be estimated using restricted maximum likelihood method with the 
Newton-Raphson algorithm. Denominator degrees of freedom will be estimated using Kenward-
Roger adjustment. All efficacy data after discontinuation of treatment will not be considered.

The same analysis will be conducted for lesional v-IGA-AD score at Days 8 and 15 and lesional 
PP-NRS. For the other efficacy parameters, only descriptive analyses will be provided. 
The weekly average PP-NRS scores will be defined as the average of daily non-missing scores 
within the week preceding the given visit and will be calculated if there is a minimal amount of 
4 non-missing scores. 
The POEM score is a 5-point scale: 0 (“No days”), 1 (“1-2 days”), 2 (“3-4 days”), 3 (“5-6 days”) 
and 4 (“Every day”). The POEM score is calculated by summing the values for the 7 items. 
If two or more questions are left unanswered the questionnaire is not scored. 
The DLQI is a 4-point scale: 0 (“Not relevant”/“Not at all”), 1 (“A little”), 2 (“A lot”), 3 (“Very 
much”). For Question 7, “Prevented work or studying” is scored at 3. The DLQI is calculated by 
summing the score of each question. 
The EASI-50/75/95/100 response is defined as a participant achieved a decrease by at least 
50%/ 75%/ 95%/100% of EASI from Day 15. 
Change in lesional TSS, PP-NRS (daily global and weekly average), EASI, BSA, SCORAD, 
POEM, DLQI during the Open label period will be analyzed descriptively. Estimations with 95% 
and 80% CIs may be derived. Sub-score of EASI by localization will also be provided.  
Supplemental analyses 
Where appropriate, supplemental analyses may be presented excluding observations after 
administration of rescue medication. No imputation will be made.

SAFETY ANALYSES  
All safety analyses will be performed on the safety population as defined in Section 2, during double 
blind and Open-label period separately and overall unless otherwise specified, using the following 
common rules: 
• The analysis of the safety variables will be essentially descriptive, and no testing is planned.  
• Safety data in participants who do not belong to the safety population (eg, exposed but not 
randomized) will be provided separately. 
Safety data will be assigned to study phase as following: 
• Blinded Period, if the TEAE onset was between the first administration (Day 1) of any 
study intervention in the Blinded Period and the first administration of study intervention 
(SAR444727 Gel, 5%) in the Open-Label Period (scheduled Day 15 morning).

• Open-Label Period, if the TEAE onset was after the first administration of study 
intervention (SAR444727 Gel, 5%) in the Open-Label Period (scheduled Day 15 
morning). 
3.6.1 Extent of exposure  
The extent of IMP exposure will be assessed by the duration of IMP exposure and compliance and 
will be summarized in the safety population for the double-blind period and the Open-label 
period. 
Duration of IMP exposure 
For each study period, duration of IMP exposure is defined as last IMP administration date – first 
IMP administration date + 1 days, regardless of unplanned intermittent discontinuation(s). If the 
date of the last dose of IMP is missing, the duration of IMP will be left as missing. 
For each study period, duration of IMP exposure will be summarized quantitatively and 
categorically:  
• Double-blind period: 1 day to ≤7 days, > 8 to <15 days, and ≥15 days  
• Open-label period: 15 days to  ≤29 days,  > 29 to ≤43 days, and >43 days  
Additionally, the cumulative duration of treatment exposure defined as the sum of the duration of 
treatment exposure over each study period for all participants will be provided. 
Treatment compliance 
Percentage of treatment compliance for a participant will be defined as the number of 
administrations/days that the participant was compliant divided by the total number of 
administrations/days that the participant was planned to take from the first administration of IMP 
up to the actual last administration of IMP. 
Treatment compliance will be summarized over each study period, quantitatively and categorically: 
<80%, ≥80% by treatment (SAR444727 Gel, 5% or placebo) and overall for the Open-label phase. 
3.6.2 Adverse events  
General common rules for adverse events 
All AEs will be coded to a LLT, PT, HLT, HLGT, and associated primary SOC using the Medical 
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) version currently in effect at Sanofi at the time of 
database lock. 
The AEs will be analyzed in the following 3 categories: 
• Pre-treatment AEs: AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the pre-
treatment period. 
VV-CLIN-0634985 1.0


Statistical Analysis Plan  
14-Sep-2022 
SAR444727-ACT17131

Page 16 
• TEAEs: AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the TE period 
• Post-treatment AEs: AEs that developed, worsened or became serious during the post-
treatment period  
Similarly, the AE leading to deaths will be analyzed in the pre-treatment, TE and post-treatment 
periods.  
The primary focus of AE reporting will be on TEAEs. Pre-treatment and post-treatment AEs will 
be described separately. Main summary will be per study period (Blinded Period, Open-Label 
Period) and overall. 
If selected TEAEs from the Blinded Period can be clearly assigned to one of the study interventions 
treated lesions, they may be presented additionally assigned to the treatment of the corresponding 
lesion. 
An AE with incomplete or missing date/time of onset (occurrence, worsening, or becoming 
serious) will be classified as a TEAE unless there is definitive information to determine it is a pre-
treatment or a post-treatment AE.  
If the assessment of the relationship to IMP is missing for an AE, this AE will be assumed as 
related to IMP. If the severity/grade is missing for an AE, the severity/grade will be left as 
missing. AEs which are possibly related to study intervention and have onset date after the first 
dose of SAR444727 will be considered possibly related to SAR444727, unless they are 
documented as possibly related to the study intervention formulation of the placebo-treated lesion 
and not possibly related to the study intervention formulation of the SAR4447272 Gel, 5%-treated 
lesion. 
The AE tables will be sorted as indicated in Table 3.

3.6.3 Additional safety assessments  
3.6.3.1 Vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory variables  
The following variables will be analyzed. They will be converted into standard international units. 
• Vital signs (see Section 8.2.2 of the protocol): heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood 
pressure, weight, temperature 
• ECG variables (see Section 8.2.3 of the protocol): heart rate, PR, QRS, QT, and corrected 
QTc (according to Bazett/Fridericia) 
•  Laboratory variables (see Section 8.2.4.1 of the protocol): hematology, clinical chemistry, 
coagulation, urinalysis  
For laboratory parameters, out-of-normal range definitions will be listed. 
Data below the Lower Limit Of Quantitation/detection limit (LLOQ) will be replaced by half of 
the LLOQ, data above the Upper Limit Of Quantification (ULOQ) will be replaced by ULOQ 
value. 
Quantitative analyses 
When relevant, vital signs, ECG variables above and for laboratory variables, descriptive statistics 
for results and changes from Baseline as appropriate will be provided for each planned visit and 
time/analysis window.  
For vital signs, ECG and laboratory variables, mean changes from Baseline with the 
corresponding standard error deviation will be plotted over time.  
Analyses according to PCSA 
PCSA analyses will be performed based on the PCSA list currently in effect at Sanofi at the time 
of the database lock. For laboratory parameters for which no PCSA criteria are defined, similar 
analyses will be done using out-of-normal ranges, if applicable. For parameters defined as 
efficacy/pharmacodynamic endpoints, PCSA summaries will not be provided.

Page 19 
Analyses according to PCSA will be performed based on the worst value during the TE period, 
using all measurements (either local or central, either scheduled, nonscheduled or repeated). 
For laboratory variables above, the incidence of participants with at least one PCSA during the TE 
period will be summarized regardless of the baseline level and according to the following baseline 
status categories: 
• Normal/missing 
• Abnormal according to PCSA criterion or criteria 
Summary statistics (including number, mean, median, Q1, Q3, standard deviation, minimum and 
maximum) of all ECG variables (raw values and changes from Baseline) will be calculated for 
each planned visit by intervention group. In addition, mean changes from Baseline with the 
corresponding standard errors will be plotted over time in each intervention group.   
For ECGs, the incidence of participants with at least one abnormal ECG during the TE period will 
be summarized regardless of the baseline level and according to the following Baseline status 
categories:  
• Normal/missing 
• Abnormal 
Listing of participants with QTc >480 msec and/or change from baseline QTc >60 msec 
If any, an intext listing of participants with QTc >480 msec and/or change from Baseline 
QTc >60 msec will be provided. 
3.6.3.2 Local cutaneous tolerability  
The local cutaneous tolerability is assessed by the incidence and severity (grade) of application-site 
events such as burning/stinging, itching, and erythema.  
Grading of application site local tolerability symptoms will be recorded using the grading scale (cf 
Protocol Appendix 4, Section 10.4.1) following each dosing during the blinded period. During the 
Open Label period symptom grading will record worst symptom observed on the lesional areas 
treated within approximately 30 min after dosing. 
For each lesion, number and proportion of participants with at least one application-site event 
(such as burning/stinging, itching, and erythema) over the 2-week double-blind period, the 4-week 
Open label period, overall and by type of sign will be summarized. For each lesion, and by type of 
sign, the distribution of corresponding worst grade (intensity) will be summarized. The 
localization of the lesion on the body with an application-site event of local untolerability will be 
reported. 
Burning/stinging sub-score assessments over time by lesion during blinded period and overall 
during Open-label period will be also summarized.

OTHER ANALYSES  
3.7.1 Other variables and/or parameters  
3.7.1.1 PK analyses  
For PK concentrations, the arithmetic mean, SD, median, minimum, maximum, percent 
coefficient of variation (CV%), geometric mean, geometric coefficient of variation (geometric 
CV%), and the number of observations below LLOQ values will be presented by timepoint. For 
the purpose of calculating summary statistics, plasma concentrations (and applicable metabolites) 
that are below the LLOQ will be set to 0 for both pre-dose and post-dose samples excepted for the 
geometric mean and associated coefficient of variation for which they will be considered as 
missing. Additional analyses will be performed as deemed necessary upon review of the data. 
Graphical displays of concentrations over time may also be presented. 
3.7.1.2 Biomarkers analyses  
Statistical analyses of biomarkers (RNAseq data, proteomic data…) will be exploratory in nature 
and will be detailed in a Biomarker SAP and results may be analysed separately. 
3.8 
INTERIM ANALYSES  
An interim analysis (IA) for internal decision making will be implemented when approximately 
25 or more of the planned participants have completed the Blinded Period (Day 15). Available 
data of the Open Label Period may be included in the analysis as appropriate.  
The outcome is meant for internal decision making and may lead to early termination of the study 
only in case of unfavorable signals, or continuation without any changes. 
3.8.1 General considerations for the interim analysis  
The Sponsor team that will analyze the data will include: a Medical Monitor, a biostatistician, a 
programmer, and a safety designee (global safety officer, [GSO]). Only the biostatistician and the 
programmer will have the  access to unblinded individual data at the time of the analysis, which 
will not be provided to other Sponsor team members reviewing the data. Results will be provided 
in a restricted way following a dissemination plan, issued before any treatment code release for 
the analysis established upfront before the unblinding. The blinding will be preserved notably 
toward the Investigator, other site staff involved in the conduct of the trial, and participants.

SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION  
No sample size calculations were performed due to the exploratory nature of this study. 
The sample size of up to 40 for this study with participants receiving both SAR444727Gel, 5%

APPENDIX 2 PARTICIPANT DISPOSITION  
The number (%) of participants included in each of the analysis populations listed in Table 2 will 
be provided.  
Screen failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in the study (ie, signed the 
informed consent form [ICF]) but are not subsequently randomized. The number (%) of screen 
failures and reasons for screen failures will be provided in the screened population. 
The number (%) of participants in the following categories will be provided:  
• Screen / screen-failed 
• Randomized participants 
• Randomized but not exposed participants  
• Randomized and exposed participants (ie, having a randomization number assigned and 
who received at least one administration of IMP

reason for permanent intervention discontinuation  
• Participants who completed the study period as per protocol 
• Participants who did not complete the study period as per protocol and main reason for 
study discontinuation  
• Reason for study period withdrawal by subject 
Reasons for permanent study intervention and study discontinuation “AE” and “other reasons” 
will be split as related versus not related to COVID-19. 
The number (%) of exposed and not randomized participants will also be summarized, if 
applicable.  
Listings of participants with permanent study intervention discontinuation or with premature end 
of study (i.e. who did not complete the study period as per protocol) will be provided for the 
safety population along with the main reason of discontinuations and related to COVID-19 or not, 
respectively. 
A summary of visits impacted by COVID-19 pandemic will be provided along with the 
description of the impact (visit not done, visit partially done on site / by phone, visit done but 
delayed), if applicable. In addition, the number (%) for reasons for exclusion from COVID-19 
non-impacted population will be provided, if applicable. A listing of participants excluded from 
this population will be provided. 
Protocol deviations 
Critical and major protocol deviations (automatic or manual) will be listed in the randomized 
population. They will be displayed separately as related versus not related to COVID-19. The list 
of predefined protocol deviations can be found in the eTMF (Trial management Section).

APPENDIX 3 DEMOGRAPHICS AND BASELINE CHARACTERISTICS, PRIOR OR 
CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS  
Demographics, baseline characteristics, medical surgical history  
The following demographics and baseline characteristics, medical and surgical history and disease 
characteristics at baseline will be summarized using descriptive statistics in the randomized 
population. 
Demographic and baseline characteristics 
• age in years as quantitative variable and in categories (18 to <65, ≥65) 
• gender (Male, Female) 
• race (White, Black or African American…)  
• ethnicity [(Hispanic or Latino, not Hispanic or Latino)] 
• weight, height, body mass index screening v-IGA-AD score 
• screening %BSA 
• EASI 
Target lesion baseline (lesional TSS, lesional PP-NRS, lesional v-IGA-AD) characteristics data 
will be summarized by treatment. 
Baseline safety and efficacy parameters (apart from those listed above) will be presented along 
with the safety and efficacy summaries. 
Specific disease history includes time from diagnosis, severity of the disease (v-IGA-AD) will be 
summarized. 
Medical and surgical history 
Additionally, all medical and surgical history will be coded to a LLT, PT, HLT, HLGT, and 
associated primary SOC using the MedDRA version currently in effect at Sanofi at the time of 
database lock. All medical history will be summarized by primary SOC and PT using a frequency 
table (number and % of participants) by study intervention group. 
Prior or concomitant medications 
All medications will be coded using the World Health Organization-Drug Dictionary (WHO-DD) 
using the version currently in effect at Sanofi at the time of database lock.  
• Prior medications are those the participant used prior to first IMP intake. Prior medications 
can be discontinued before first administration or can be ongoing during study intervention 
period. 
• Concomitant medications are any medications received by the participant during the TE 
period.

• Post-treatment medications are those the participant took after the TE period. 
A given medication can be classified as a prior medication and/or as a concomitant medication 
and/or as post-treatment medication. If it cannot be determined whether a given medication was 
taken prior or concomitantly or post, it will be considered as prior, concomitant, and post-
treatment medication. 
The prior and concomitant medications will be summarized for the safety population, by anatomic 
and therapeutic level. The summaries will be sorted by decreasing frequency of anatomic category 
(ATC) based on incidence in SAR444727 group. In case of equal frequency, alphabetical order 
will be used. Participants will be counted once in each ATC category (anatomic or therapeutic) 
linked to the medication.

APPENDIX 4 DATA HANDLING CONVENTIONS  
Double blind analysis period is defined from the date of first IMP up to Day15 or date of IMP 
discontinuation which ever comes first. 
Day15 of Open label period is defined as the first day the placebo is not used.  
For parameters with evaluations before administration and in cases of rechecked value(s) for one 
participant, only the last observation will be used as baseline in descriptive statistics and 
derivations of other parameter values. After baseline, only observations planned in the protocol 
will be used in descriptive statistics. 
For clinical laboratory parameters with non-numeric values, the imputed values used for the 
descriptive statistics and/or the flags will be determined by considering the following rules: 
• 
If database value is ‘ <X’, the value used will be X/2 
• 
If database value is ‘ >X’, the value used will be X 
• 
If database value is a range (eg, ‘X – Y’), the values used will be (Y + X)/2 
Pharmacokinetic analysis 
For ease of presentation, mean values will be arithmetic mean unless specified. Concentration 
values below the plasma assay limit will be treated as zero in all summary statistics. Mean values 
below LLOQ will be reported as LLOQ in the tables and not plotted in the figures if after 
maximal plasma concentration (Cmax). Mean calculations and their associated statistics will be 
generated from unrounded numbers and may differ slightly from those values that would be 
determined using the rounded numbers displayed in the tables. Values expressed in all tables will 
before ease of presentation and will not be meant to imply accuracy to more than 3 significant 
figures.  
Area under the curve (AUC) values extrapolated by more than 30% will be excluded from any 
pharmacokinetic statistical analysis.

Analysis windows for time points 
The following analysis windows will decide how the scheduled and/or unscheduled visits will be 
used in the by-visit analyses of efficacy. For participants with premature study discontinuation, 
follow-up measurements will be reallocated to the corresponding analysis window and reported 
together with other measurements. 
A measurement (scheduled or unscheduled) will be used if it is available and measurement date is 
within the analysis window.  
After applying these time windows, if multiple assessments are associated to the same time point, 
the closest from the targeted study day will be used. If the difference is a tie, the value after the 
targeted study day will be used. If multiple valid values exist within a same day, then the first 
value of the day will be selected when time is available, otherwise the scheduled exam will be 
used.  
If there is no measurement for a given parameter in an analysis window, data will be considered 
missing for the corresponding visit.

Unscheduled and end of treatment (EOT)/EOS visits 
Unscheduled visit measurements of efficacy, laboratory data, vital signs, PK and biomarkers will 
be used, in particular for computation of Baseline, the last on-treatment value, analysis according 
to PCSAs, and the shift summaries for safety. They will also be included in the by-visit 
summaries if they are re-allocated to scheduled visits.
