14 days for Part B), a single dose of randomized study treatment (APD418 or placebo) as a 6-hour IV 
infusion on Day 1 (Dosing Period) followed by an 18- to 24-hour in-clinic observation period 
(Postdose Period), and a Follow-Up phone call 7 days (± 2 days) after discharge. Subjects participating 
in Part A cannot participate in Part B. 
On Day 1, potential eligible subjects (per initial Screening criteria) will undergo additional eligibility 
assessments during the Predose Period. Hemodynamic eligibility criteria based on right heart 
catheterization (RHC) will be assessed at Baseline for final confirmation of eligibility and 
randomization. Hemodynamic parameters based on RHC will be assessed at the end of Baseline (after 
at least a 2-hour stabilization period), during the Dosing Period throughout the study treatment 
administration (6-hour IV infusion), and for an additional 1 hour after cessation of study treatment 
administration. Subjects will continue to be observed during the Postdose Period for a minimum of 
18 hours after the end of study treatment administration for PD, PK, and safety assessments prior to 
discharge on Day 2. Subjects will be contacted by phone call for follow-up 7 days (± 2 days) after 
discharge. 
This study has an adaptive design, in which dose escalation in Part A will inform dose expansion in 
Part B. Part A is a single-ascending dose (SAD) study planned to consist of 5 cohorts. In each cohort, 
subjects will be randomized to APD418:placebo in a 5:2 ratio. Randomization will be stratified by 
Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%). Following completion of all planned cohorts in Part A, 2 APD418 
doses studied in Part A will be selected for expansion in Part B. Part B is a parallel-treatment group 
study planned to consist of a placebo group and 2 APD418 treatment groups by randomizing additional 
subjects in 1:1:1 ratio (15 subjects are planned in the placebo group and each APD418 treatment 
group). Randomization will be stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%) and baseline carvedilol 
use (yes, no).  
Each subject will receive a single dose of study treatment as an IV infusion over a duration of 6 hours. 
The initial APD418 dose to be studied in the first cohort of Part A will be 0.17 mg/kg/h (total dose 
1 mg/kg). After 7 subjects have completed treatment in each cohort in Part A, an assessment of the 
safety/tolerability and PK data will be conducted by the dose escalation committee (blinded data 
review by the Sponsor and Investigator representatives) to determine whether dose escalation to the 
next dose level in Part A can occur. Doses for each subsequent cohort in Part A may be adjusted 
depending on the safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous cohort(s). The maximum dose in the 
study will not exceed 2 mg/kg/h (12 mg/kg) without a protocol amendment. At the conclusion of 
Part A, the dose selection committee will perform safety/tolerability and PD data assessment to identify 
2 APD418 doses to be expanded in Part B (unblinded review of Part A data by the Sponsor 
representatives who are not directly involved in study conduct; site staff and sponsor representatives 
involved in study conduct will remain blinded throughout the study). Additional details about the dose 
escalation and the dose selection process are described in Sections 10.6.2 and 11.9. Additional subjects 
and/or cohorts may be enrolled in the study as described in Sections 6.4 and 11.9. The sample size will 
not increase by more than approximately 15% without a protocol amendment. 
Number of subjects (planned): 
Approximately 80 subjects (25 placebo; 55 APD418) are planned to be enrolled in the study. In Part A, 
5 cohorts are planned and 7 subjects are planned to be enrolled in each cohort (5 APD418:2 placebo 
per cohort; total N = 35). In Part B, 2 APD418 doses assessed in Part A will be expanded by enrolling 
45 additional subjects (15 subjects are planned in the placebo group and each APD418 treatment group; 
total N = 45).

Statistical methods: 
Determination of sample size: 
Approximately 80 subjects are planned to be enrolled in this study (35 in Part A, 45 in Part B). 
It is assumed that baseline CI, as measured with RHC, is normally distributed with a mean of 2.0 and a 
standard deviation (SD) of 0.5. Sixty-five evaluable subjects (20 subjects in each of the 2 APD418 
treatment groups and 25 in placebo) is sufficient to achieve at least 80% power to detect a treatment 
effect of 0.45 in favor of APD418 (a clinically significant improvement of 22.5% from placebo) 
between each of the APD418 treatment groups and placebo by a 2-sample t-test using a 2-sided 
significance level of 0.05. 
The primary analysis will be based on pooled data from subjects in Part A and Part B. There will be 
2 APD418 treatment groups of 20 subjects each (planned to consist of 5 subjects from Part A and 
15 subjects from Part B) and 1 placebo treatment group of 25 subjects (planned to consist of 
10 subjects from Part A and 15 subjects from Part B). 
A blinded review of the data to evaluate the assumption regarding the SD of the change in CI may be 
conducted. The planned sample size will not be reduced as a result of the sample size re-estimation. 
Details will be specified in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). 
Stratification: 
In Part A, randomization will be stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%). In Part B, 
randomization will be stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%) and baseline carvedilol use (yes, 
no). 
Testing strategy: 
No formal testing strategy or adjustments of the Type I error will be employed for secondary or 
exploratory endpoints. Estimates and confidence intervals for treatment groups and from pairwise 
comparisons will be used in an exploratory manner. 
Statistical analyses: 
The primary and secondary endpoints will be analyzed using the Full Analysis Set (FAS) and safety 
endpoints will be performed using the Safety Set. Other important statistical considerations, such as 
handling missing data imputation strategies, will be described in the SAP. 
The primary PD endpoint of the study is the change in CI measured by RHC from Baseline to end IV 
infusion at 6 hours. The primary PD analysis will be analyzed using a mixed effects model with 
repeated measures (MMRM) method. The MMRM model will include treatment group, timepoint, 
interaction of treatment-by-timepoint, and randomization stratification factors as factors, and Baseline 
CI as a covariate. An unstructured covariance matrix will be specified for the MMRM model. LS 
means at visit and LS mean differences between treatment group with p-values and corresponding 95% 
confidence intervals will be reported. 
Continuous variables measured at scheduled timepoints will be analyzed using MMRM method. The 
MMRM model will include treatment group, timepoint, interaction of treatment-by-timepoint, and 
randomization stratification factor as factors, and Baseline measure as a covariate. An unstructured 
covariance matrix will be specified for the MMRM model. LS means at visit and LS mean differences 
between treatment group with p-values and corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be reported. 
Unless otherwise specified, continuous endpoints will be analyzed using analysis of covariance 
(ANCOVA) with a model that includes treatment group and randomization stratification factors as 
factors and Baseline CI value and other Baseline values as covariates. LS means, Ses, and 95% 
confidence intervals for the treatments and their difference will be presented together with their 
p-values. 
Where statistical assumptions (eg, normality, proportional odds) are not met, alternative approaches 
will be evaluated (eg, non-parametric analysis, log transformation).

Details regarding the statistical analyses will be provided in the SAP. 
Pharmacokinetic analysis: 
PK parameters will be calculated using noncompartmental modeling. Calculated plasma PK parameters 
will include, but will not necessarily be limited to, area under the plasma concentration-time curve 
from time 0 to 6 hours (AUC0-6), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time of 
last quantifiable plasma concentration (AUClast), area under the plasma concentration-time curve from 
time 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞), maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), terminal elimination 
half-life (t1/2), distribution half-life (t1/2α), time to maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax), total 
clearance (CL), volume of distribution based on the terminal phase (Vdz), volume of distribution at 
steady state (VdSS), mean residence time from time 0 to time of last quantifiable plasma concentration 
(MRTlast), average plasma concentration during the dosing interval (Cave). Collected plasma PK 
samples may also be used for profiling of drug binding proteins, bioanalytical method validation 
purposes, stability assessments, or to assess other actions of APD418 with plasma constituents. 
Urinary PK parameters will include, but not be limited to, the amount of unchanged drug excreted 
during each collection interval from t1 to t2 (Aet1-t2), total amount of unchanged excreted in urine over 
the collection period (amount excreted [Ae]), renal clearance (CLr) and the fraction of drug excreted 
unchanged in the urine, expressed as a percentage of total dose (fraction excreted [Fe]). 
Details regarding plasma and urine PK analysis will be provided in the SAP. 
PK/PD and subject/disease characteristics/PD analysis: 
Potential relationships may be explored between select plasma exposure measures of APD418 or 
subject/disease characteristics (eg, Baseline LVEF, Baseline CI, Baseline SBP, duration of HFrEF, 
renal function, concomitant medications) and select PD measures (eg, change in CI). 
Safety analyses: 
Aes will be listed and summarized by system organ class and preferred term, as well as according to 
severity and causality/relationship to study treatment. TEAEs will be summarized by cohort and 
treatment group. In addition, TEAEs will be pooled across treatment groups (ie, placebo, APD418). 
Observed values for clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and safety 12-lead ECGs, will be summarized 
by cohort and treatment group. Individual data listings of clinical laboratory tests results will be 
presented for each subject. Observed values and changes from Baseline will be summarized 
descriptively. Safety 12-lead ECG data (observed values and change from Baseline) will be listed for 
each subject and timepoint. Observed values will be classified for normal, abnormality that is not 
clinically significant, and clinically significant abnormality by cohort, treatment, and timepoint of 
collection. Results of other safety assessments will be listed and summarized as appropriate. 
Interim Analysis: 
No formal interim analysis of efficacy is planned.  
Dose Escalation and Dose Selection: 
After treatment of each cohort in Part A, an assessment of the safety/tolerability and PK data will be 
performed by the dose escalation committee (blinded data review by the Sponsor and Investigator 
representatives) prior to dose escalation to the next dose level in Part A. Doses for each subsequent 
cohort in Part A may be adjusted depending on the safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous 
cohort(s).  
At the conclusion of Part A, the dose selection committee will perform a safety/tolerability and PD data 
assessment to identify 2 doses to be expanded in Part B (unblinded review of Part A data by the 
Sponsor representatives who are not directly involved in study conduct; site staff and sponsor 
representatives involved in study conduct will remain blinded throughout the study).  
Additional details about the dose escalation and the dose selection process are described in 
Sections 10.6.2 and 11.9.

INTRODUCTION  
1.1. 
Disease and Unmet Medical Need  
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome characterized by symptoms (eg, breathlessness, ankle 
swelling, and fatigue) that may be accompanied by signs (eg, elevated jugular venous pressure, 
pulmonary crackles, and peripheral edema) caused by structural and/or functional cardiac 
abnormalities (Ponikowski 2016). HF can result from a number of underlying conditions that 
damage, weaken, or stiffen the heart leading to compromised cardiac function, including 
coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, hypertension, defects in cardiac valves, 
cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, arrhythmias, or other congenital and chronic conditions (Metra 
2017, Ponikowski 2016). Acute heart failure (AHF), a life-threatening clinical condition 
requiring hospitalization (Ponikowski 2016, Teerlink 2015) is of particular concern in HF 
patients. In the United States (US) alone, HF is responsible for approximately one million 
hospitalizations annually and it is the leading cause of hospitalization in the population above the 
age of 65 (Benjamin 2017, Gheorghiade 2013). Decompensation of chronic HF, characterized by 
(rapid or gradual) worsening of HF symptoms and signs, accounts for approximately 80% of HF 
hospitalizations, with a minority of remaining cases presenting as de novo (15%) or end stage 
(5%) HF (Gheorghiade 2013). Hospitalization for AHF can be caused by the onset or worsening 
of pathological cardiovascular processes such as myocardial infarction, abnormal heart rhythm or 
hypertension, or it can be triggered by low treatment adherence or intercurrent illness 
(Ponikowski 2016, Teerlink 2015). Although in-hospital mortality for patients hospitalized for 
AHF has improved, post-discharge risk of death continues to be significantly high; in addition, 
up to 30% of patients are re-hospitalized within 30 days and up to 70% within the first year 
(Abraham 2008, Chioncel 2017, Crespo-Leiro 2016, Dharmarajan 2015, Gheorghiade 2013, 
Levy 2002). With each event of decompensation leading to hospitalization, there is associated 
myocardial and/or renal damage leading to further progression of the disease and resulting in 
substantially increased risk of death (Gheorghiade 2005, Setoguchi 2007, Solomon 2007). Over 
50% of patients hospitalized for AHF have reduced systolic function (ie, heart failure with 
reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF], defined as left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 40%) 
(Adams 2005, Chioncel 2017, Owan 2006, Packer 2017) and these patients exhibit mortality 
rates of up to 30% in the first year (Choi 2018, Owan 2006). 
Patients hospitalized for AHF differ in clinical presentation, with clinical signs/symptoms of 
congestion (wet or dry) and peripheral hypoperfusion (cold or warm), as well as differences in 
systolic blood pressure (SBP), guiding the therapeutic approach (Ponikowski 2016). Current 
first-line management of patients hospitalized due to AHF is focused on identification and 
treatment of potential co-existing clinical conditions and precipitating factors, immediate 
stabilization, and symptom relief, as progressive cardiac decompensation can lead to respiratory 
and/or kidney failure, cardiogenic shock, or death (Metra 2017, Ponikowski 2016, Teerlink 
2015). Patients hospitalized for AHF resulting from decompensation of HFrEF can present with 
decreased cardiac output (CO), causing hypoperfusion, and/or accumulation of fluids 
(congestion) in the lungs and/or peripheral tissues (Damman 2015, Mebazaa 2015, Ponikowski 
2016, Teerlink 2015). Despite advancements in management of chronic HF, options for 
stabilization of acutely decompensated HFrEF patients are limited. Diuretics are used as first-line 
therapy to treat volume overload including congestion; vasodilators are also used as first-line 
therapy for symptom relief in hypertensive patients as well as in non-hypotensive patients who

fail to respond adequately to diuretics (Collins 2015, Mebazaa 2015, Ponikowski 2016). For 
patients presenting as hypotensive, who are at the highest risk of mortality, treatment options are 
particularly limited (Nohria 2003, Ponikowski 2016). Improvement of CO in patients with 
systolic dysfunction presenting with hypotension may require the use of inotropic agents, and 
currently available inotropic agents that alter intracellular calcium are associated with significant 
risk of unwanted hemodynamic effects, arrhythmias, and cardiotoxicity, leading to adverse 
outcomes and increased mortality (Francis 2014, Maack 2019, Mebazaa 2011, Nielsen 2014, 
Teerlink 2009). Despite their limitations, these agents are often the only available option for 
these patients (Metra 2017). Furthermore, a large proportion of hospitalized patients do not 
respond adequately to common therapies such as diuretics (ie, diuretic-resistant) (Felker 2012, 
Jardim 2019, Shah 2017), which may lead to in-hospital worsening of HF (WHF), requiring 
additional therapy to adequately recover from an AHF episode. Events of WHF are associated 
with longer length of hospitalization and significantly greater post-discharge mortality and 
readmission rates (Butler 2015, Cotter 2014, Cotter 2010, Davison 2015, Kelly 2015, Mentz 
2015, Torre-Amione 2009, Weatherley 2009). Given the seriousness of this condition and the 
lack of targeted therapies with an acceptable safety profile that can be used to improve cardiac 
performance and provide hemodynamic stabilization, development of new treatment options is of 
high importance. 
APD418 is a new chemical entity in development by Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Arena) for the 
treatment of AHF in patients with HFrEF. As a potential first-in-class beta-3 adrenergic receptor 
(β3-AdrR) antagonist and cardiac myotrope, APD418 is designed to prevent β3-AdrR-mediated 
repression of cardiac contractility and increase CO while avoiding known adverse events (AEs) 
associated with currently available inotropes (ie, hemodynamic instability, arrhythmias, and 
cardiotoxicity). Considering its cardioselective and disease specific mechanism of action, based 
on targeting the overexpressed β3-AdrR in the failing heart, APD418 represents a promising 
novel therapeutic approach to improve cardiac performance and provide hemodynamic 
stabilization in patients with AHF. Study APD418-201 is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, 
double-blind, placebo-controlled study assessing the hemodynamic effects, safety, tolerability, 
and pharmacokinetics (PK) of APD418 in subjects with HFrEF. The study will be conducted in 
compliance with the International Conference for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for 
Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and 
applicable regulatory requirements, the study protocol, and where applicable, sponsor and/or 
contract research organization (CRO) standard operating procedures (SOPs). 
1.2. 
Scientific Background  
Beta-adrenergic receptors (β-AdrRs) play a pivotal role in regulating the function of the 
cardiovascular system, including both the myocardium and the vasculature where they regulate 
cardiac contractility and vascular tone, respectively (Dessy 2004, Emorine 1989, Gauthier 2000, 
Simard 1994). In the setting of HF, increased sympathetic activity and circulating levels of 
catecholamines stimulate beta-1/beta-2 adrenergic receptors (β1/β2-AdrRs) to mediate positive 
inotropic effects and preserve CO; however, long-term overstimulation of this pathway can 
negatively influence cardiac function and promote progression of HF (Anker 1998, Bristow 
1990, Cohn 1984, Engelhardt 1999, Kaye 1995, Thomas 1978, Viquerat 1985). Unlike 
β1/β2-AdrRs, β3-AdrR activation exerts a repressive effect on cardiac contractility (Gauthier 
1996). Furthermore, in contrast to β1/β2-AdrRs, β3-AdrR is expressed at much lower levels in

non-failing hearts but becomes upregulated in HF and is more resistant to desensitization 
(Gauthier 1996, Liggett 1993, Moniotte 2001). Owing to its differential expression pattern and 
resistance to desensitization, β3-AdrR potentially plays a crucial role in the regulation of cardiac 
function, especially in the setting of HF. In chronic HF, β3-AdrR upregulation and activation 
serves as a protective mechanism in response to excessive β1/β2-AdrR-mediated positive 
inotropy by acting as a physiological “brake” to compensate for the sustained sympathetic 
overstimulation of the adrenergic system caused by elevated levels of circulating catecholamines. 
However, during events of AHF, the β3-AdrR-mediated negative inotropic effect can be 
considered maladaptive and promotes unwanted contractile repression that impedes 
hemodynamic recovery and exacerbates systolic dysfunction (Balligand 2016, Moniotte 2001, 
Morimoto 2004, Napp 2009, Rozec 2006). In line with this, studies using a selective β3-AdrR 
antagonist, L-748,337, have demonstrated improved cardiac function in a dog model of 
ventricular pacing-induced HF (Masutani 2013, Morimoto 2004). Considering the growing 
evidence supporting the importance of β3-AdrR in modulating cardiac function in patients with 
HF, β3-AdrR antagonism has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach in HF (Moniotte 
2002). In particular, antagonism of β3-AdrR in the setting of AHF with systolic dysfunction may 
lead to improved contractility and restored CO, without the unwanted hemodynamic effects and 
cardiotoxic/arrhythmic potential of existing inotropic agents. 
APD418 is a potential first-in-class, highly potent, and selective β3-AdrR antagonist and cardiac 
myotrope designed to improve myocardial contractility by regulating the activity of troponin I 
and remediating myofilament calcium sensitivity, without affecting intracellular cyclic adenosine 
monophosphate (cAMP) and calcium levels associated with stimulation of β1/β2-AdrR 
pathways, thereby avoiding unwanted effects on myocardial oxygen consumption, heart rate 
(HR) or blood pressure (Psotka 2019). 
1.3. 
Nonclinical Summary  
APD418 is a novel selective β3-AdrR antagonist with high affinity for the human β3-AdrR (over 
400-fold greater affinity than for β1- and β2-AdrRs). Functional cAMP assays with 
recombinantly expressed dog and rat β3-AdrR have demonstrated similar potency and selectivity 
of APD418 to human β3-AdrR. Primary pharmacology studies indicate that acute intravenous 
(IV) infusion of APD418 improves cardiac contractile function and increases CO in a canine 
model of systolic heart failure (HFrEF) induced by sequential coronary microembolization, 
without any effects on myocardial oxygen consumption, and minimal effect on HR and mean 
aortic pressure (Sabbah 2019a, Sabbah 2019b). Moreover, APD418 showed improvement in 
additional measures of systolic functions, as well as diastolic function in the failing heart, and 
was well tolerated during and after infusion (Sabbah 2019a, Sabbah 2019b). APD418 was also 
tested on electrically paced human cardiac tissue from HF donors and enhanced the contractile 
response to catecholamine stimulation (Nguyen 2020).

or edema observed after administration of APD418. Addition of APD418 
(0.0938 to 1.50 mg/mL) to human whole blood had no effect on hemolysis or

The safety, tolerability, and PK, along with exploratory PD of single-ascending IV doses of 
APD418 have been evaluated in a Phase 1 study (Study APD418-101; Part A) in heathy young 
adults (HYA; age 18 to 40) and healthy older adults (HOA; age 50 to 65). The potential for

single oral dose or after multiple oral doses of rifampin, was also evaluated in healthy adult 
subjects (Study APD418-101; Part B). 
In Part A of the Study APD418-101, study treatment was administered as an IV infusion over 
6 hours in 5 cohorts of HYA (0.17, 0.50, 1.67, 2.83, or 4.17 mg/kg/h APD418 or placebo) and 
2 cohorts of HOA (0.50 or 1.67 mg/kg/h APD418 or placebo). A total of 37/39 HYA and 
15/15 HOA subjects completed treatment. Of those, 30 HYA and 11 HOA subjects received 
APD418. Safety data for Part A of Study APD418-101 demonstrated an acceptable safety profile 
for both the HYA and HOA subjects. Of the HYA subjects who received APD418, a total of 
15 subjects (50%) reported at least 1 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE); TEAEs were 
reported in 1 (11%) placebo treated HYA subject. The most common TEAEs were related to 
infusion site events, primarily infusion site pain (8 [27%] APD418 subjects; 0% placebo) and 
infusion site erythema (4 [13%] APD418 subjects, 0%; placebo). Other common TEAEs 
included upper respiratory tract infection (2 [7%] APD418 subjects; 1 [11%] placebo), infusion 
site swelling, infusion site warmth, arthralgia, and dizziness (each event 2 [7%] APD418 
subjects; 0% placebo). In general, infusion site TEAEs were more common at higher APD418 
doses (46% of subjects across 2.83 and 4.17 mg/kg/h doses), while only 12% of subjects across 
the range of doses (ie, 0.17, 0.50, and 1.67 mg/kg/h) planned to be studied in Study APD418-201 
experienced these events (planned doses for Study APD418-201 range from 
0.17 to 2.0 mg/kg/h). Two HOA subjects, 1 subject in each HOA APD418 treatment group, 
experienced at least 1 TEAE (≤ 20%); no TEAEs were reported in HOA placebo subjects. 
Treatment was discontinued for 2 HYA subjects (1 subject each in 0.50 and 4.17 mg/kg/h 
cohorts), who experienced Grade 2 TEAEs at the infusion site, which were considered not 
related to study drug by the Investigator. No serious adverse events (SAEs) or deaths were 
reported. There were no clinically significant or concerning findings in vital signs, 
electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory (including high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T 
[hs-cTnT]), and echocardiogram (ECHO) data sets, and overall no clinically identified risks for 
APD418 in this study. 
PK data from Study APD418-101 in healthy human volunteers showed that APD418 plasma 
concentrations generally increased rapidly during the IV infusion. Visual assessment of plasma 
concentrations suggested that plasma concentrations close to steady state occurred prior to end of 
infusion, at which point APD418 demonstrated a rapid decrease in plasma concentrations. Mean 
residence time (MRT) was ≤ 4 hours and reflects a relatively short residence time of APD418 in 
the body. Consistent with the short MRT, the area under the concentration-time curve from time 
0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) comprised > 95% of the AUC0-∞ and suggests clearance of most drug 
from the body by 24 hours postdose. Mean exposure to APD418 increased proportionately with 
dose. APD418 PK in HOA subjects was similar to HYA subjects at the 3 mg/kg dose level. The 
10 mg/kg dose administered to HOA subjects resulted in a small increase (approximately 
1.2-fold) in exposure to APD418 in HOA compared to the HYA subjects. APD418 exposures 
achieved in healthy human volunteers spanned and exceeded the range of pharmacologically 
active concentrations in the dog model of HF; no clinically identified risks were observed across 
this exposure range. Renal clearance comprised approximately 15% of total clearance in both 
HYA subjects and HOA subjects.

1.5. 
Benefit-Risk Considerations  
Nonclinical findings suggest that in the setting of HFrEF, APD418 improves cardiac 
performance, which in the target population of patients with decompensated HFrEF may lead to 
faster hemodynamic stabilization. An improved clinical course of recovery is expected to be 
associated with reduced in-hospital WHF events, including in-hospital death and length of 
hospitalization, and potentially improvement in clinical outcomes. 
In this Phase 2, proof-of-mechanism study, hemodynamic effects will be investigated in stable 
advanced chronic HFrEF patients (LVEF ≤ 35% for at least 4 months, New York Heart 
Association [NYHA] Class II-IV). It is anticipated that the population chosen for this study will 
exhibit elevated expression of β3-AdrR owing to their disease status and medical history 
(documented history of HFrEF; ie, LVEF ≤ 35% for at least 4 months) and as such could benefit 
from APD418-mediated improvement in CO. Thus, this population presents a suitable setting for 
the first-in-patient assessment of the safety, tolerability, and hemodynamic effects of APD418. 
As of the date of this protocol, there are no clinically identified risks for APD418. Safety data for 
Part A of Study APD418-101, in which APD418 was administered as an IV infusion over 
6 hours, demonstrated an acceptable safety profile for both the HYA and HOA subjects. 
Extended single-dose, GLP-compliant, toxicity studies of APD418 administered as a 6-hour IV 
infusion were conducted in rats and dogs to assess acute and delayed toxicity, reversibility, and 
TK. These studies identified the following potential targets of APD418 toxicity: CNS, kidney, 
liver, and infusion site that demonstrated reversibility and are monitorable in the planned clinical 
study. Human safety data collected to date in Study APD418-101 have not identified any safety 
risks (including those observed in nonclinical studies) up to the highest dose administered. 
Corresponding exposures were approximately 1.8- (Cmax) to 2.3-fold (AUC0-∞) higher than 
observed in the dog at the NOAEL. 
The safety monitoring practices employed by this protocol (ie, physical examination, vital signs, 
safety 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory tests including hs-cTnT, concomitant medications, and 
AE monitoring) are adequate to monitor and assess subject safety. 
The risks of participation are primarily those associated with adverse reactions to the study 
treatment, although there may also be some discomfort from collection of blood samples and 
other study procedures.  
Further description of identified risks, any potential risks, and the reference safety information 
for APD418 are provided in the current edition of the IB.

STUDY DESIGN  
3.1. 
Overall Design  
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study 
assessing the hemodynamic effects, safety, tolerability, and PK of APD418 in subjects with 
HFrEF to be conducted in 2 parts (Part A and Part B). Each part consists of a Screening Period 
(up to 21 days in Part A and up to 14 days in Part B), a single dose of randomized study 
treatment (APD418 or placebo) as a 6-hour IV infusion on Day 1 (Dosing Period) followed by an 
18- to 24-hour in-clinic observation period (Postdose Period), and a Follow-Up phone call 7 days 
(± 2 days) after discharge (Figure 1). Subjects participating in Part A cannot participate in Part B.

On Day 1, potential eligible subjects (per initial Screening criteria) will undergo additional 
eligibility assessments during the Predose Period on Day 1. Hemodynamic eligibility criteria 
based on right heart catheterization (RHC) will be assessed at Baseline for final confirmation of 
eligibility and randomization. Hemodynamic parameters based on RHC will be assessed at the 
end of Baseline (after at least 2-hour stabilization period), during the Dosing Period throughout 
the study treatment administration (6-hour IV infusion), and for an additional 1 hour after 
cessation of study treatment administration. Subjects will continue to be observed during the 
Postdose Period for a minimum of 18 hours after the end of study treatment administration for 
PD, PK, and safety assessments prior to discharge on Day 2. Subjects will be contacted by phone 
call for follow-up 7 days (± 2 days) after discharge.  
This study has an adaptive design, in which dose escalation in Part A will inform dose expansion 
in Part B. Part A is a single-ascending dose (SAD) study planned to consist of 5 cohorts. In each 
cohort, subjects will be randomized to APD418:placebo in a 5:2 ratio. Randomization will be 
stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%). Following completion of all planned cohorts in 
Part A, 2 APD418 doses studied in Part A will be selected for expansion in Part B. Part B is a 
parallel-treatment group study planned to consist of a placebo group and 2 APD418 treatment 
groups by randomizing additional subjects in 1:1:1 ratio (15 subjects are planned in the placebo 
group and each APD418 treatment group; Figure 1). Randomization will be stratified by 
Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%) and baseline carvedilol use (yes, no). 
Each subject will receive a single dose of study treatment as an IV infusion over a duration of 
6 hours. The initial APD418 dose to be studied in the first cohort of Part A will be 0.17 mg/kg/h 
(total dose 1 mg/kg). After 7 subjects have completed treatment in each cohort in Part A, an 
assessment of the safety/tolerability and PK data will be conducted by the dose escalation 
committee (blinded data review by the Sponsor and Investigator representatives) to determine 
whether dose escalation to the next dose level in Part A can occur. Doses for each subsequent 
cohort in Part A may be adjusted depending on the safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous 
cohort(s). The maximum dose in the study will not exceed 2 mg/kg/h (12 mg/kg) without a 
protocol amendment. At the conclusion of Part A, the dose selection committee will perform 
safety/tolerability and PD data assessment to identify 2 APD418 doses to be expanded in Part B 
(unblinded review of Part A data by the Sponsor representatives who are not directly involved in 
study conduct; site staff, and sponsor representatives involved in study conduct will remain 
blinded throughout the study). Additional details about the dose escalation and the dose selection 
process are described in Sections 10.6.2 and 11.9. Additional subjects and/or cohorts may be 
enrolled in the study as described in Sections 6.4 and 11.9. The sample size will not increase by 
more than approximately 15% without a protocol amendment.

Scientific Rationale for Study Design  
This is a Phase 2, proof-of-mechanism study assessing the hemodynamic effects, safety, 
tolerability, and PK of APD418 in patients with stable advanced chronic HFrEF (LVEF ≤ 35%, 
NYHA Class II-IV). Study population will include subjects stabilized following recent 
hospitalization due to AHF, as well as subjects undergoing RHC for left ventricular assist device 
(LVAD) or transplant evaluation. These subjects represent the target patient population, with the 
exception that they are not experiencing an acute decompensation event and thus offer a suitable 
setting for the first in-patient assessments of hemodynamic effects and the safety/tolerability of 
APD418. It is anticipated that these subjects will exhibit elevated expression of β3-AdrR owing 
to their disease status and medical history (documented history of HFrEF, ie, LVEF ≤ 35% for at 
least 4 months) and as such could experience APD418-mediated improvement in CO. In support 
of this, APD418 improved cardiac performance in a canine model of pacing-induced heart 
failure, an HF model that has been shown to exhibit increased β3-AdR expression (Cheng 2001), 
while minimal effect of APD418 was observed prior to inducing HF (Cheng 2018). In addition, 
APD418 enhanced contractile response to catecholamine stimulation of human cardiac tissue 
from HF donors, but did not have any effect on cardiac tissue from healthy donors (Nguyen 
2020). APD418 also did not induce any notable effects in non-invasive hemodynamic and ECHO 
assessments in healthy subjects studied in Study APD418-101. Thus, in order to describe the 
pharmacodynamic effects of APD418 in humans, it is necessary to evaluate patients who are 
expected to exhibit increased β3-AdrR expression.

This study has an adaptive design, in which dose escalation in Part A will inform dose expansion 
in Part B. This study has been designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study 
to reduce bias and account for placebo effect in the evaluation of hemodynamic effects and the 
safety/tolerability of APD418. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study will be the change in 
CI measured by RHC from Baseline to end of IV infusion at 6 hours. Additional PD assessments 
include: Other hemodynamic and cardiac function parameters assessed with RHC and ECHO, 
vital sign, cardiac biomarkers (eg, N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide [NT-pro-BNP], 
hs-cTnT), markers of renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], blood urea 
nitrogen [BUN], cystatin C, urine protein/creatinine ratio, and urinary sodium excretion), as well 
as urine output and body weight. The safety monitoring practices employed by this protocol (ie, 
physical examination, vital signs, safety 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory tests including 
hs-cTnT, concomitant medications and AE monitoring) are adequate to monitor and assess 
subject safety. Based on available PK data, most (> 95%) of the administered study drug is 
expected to be eliminated by 24 hours after dosing and therefore subjects will be discharged the 
next day following all scheduled assessments. 
It is expected that the described study design will provide relevant data on hemodynamic effects, 
safety, tolerability, and PK of APD418, and inform further clinical development of APD418 for 
treatment of AHF in patients with HFrEF, including the design and dose selection for future 
clinical studies with APD418 in the AHF setting. 
3.3. 
Rationale for Dose Selection  
The initial APD418 dose to be administered in Cohort 1 of Part A will be 0.17 mg/kg/h 
administered as an IV infusion over a duration of 6 hours (1 mg/kg). Planned doses for the 
remaining 4 cohorts in Part A are 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/kg/h or 3, 6, 9, and 12 mg/kg, 
respectively. Doses for each subsequent cohort in Part A may be adjusted depending on the 
safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous cohort(s). The maximum dose in the study will not 
exceed 2 mg/kg/h (12 mg/kg) without a protocol amendment. At the conclusion of Part A, 
2 APD418 doses will be selected for expansion in Part B based on safety/tolerability and PD 
data. Additional details about the dose escalation and the dose selection process are described in 
Sections 10.6.2 and 11.9. 
The planned starting dose in this first-in-patient study is 0.17 mg/kg/h administered as an IV 
infusion over duration of 6 hours (total dose 1 mg/kg). This is 25-fold lower than the highest 
tested dose in HYA subjects in Study APD418-101, and 10-fold lower than the highest dose 
tested in HOA subjects. Based on dog pharmacology data, this dose level has potential to 
demonstrate a low but detectable increase in cardiac function, thus potentially providing some 
benefit for these subjects. The Cmax attained with an infusion rate of 0.17 mg/kg/h over 6 hours 
(1 mg/kg) in healthy volunteers (Study APD418-101) was 407 ng/mL and approximated values 
observed during a 6-hour IV infusion in the dog model; notable improvement in CO was 
observed at APD418 at mean Cmax concentration of approximately 717 ng/mL. Considering low 
expression of the β3-AdrR in cardiac tissue in healthy subjects, there were no APD418-related 
effects observed on cardiac function in Study APD418-101. 
Estimated exposure to APD418 at the maximal planned dose of 2.0 mg/kg/h over 6 hours (total 
dose 12 mg/kg) in Study APD418-201 from PK values observed in HOA treated with 
1.7 mg/kg/h in Study APD418-101 predicts a Cmax and AUC0-∞ of approximately 5700 ng/mL

and 39,000 ng·h/mL, respectively. As such, subjects will not be exposed to higher APD418 
exposures than previously observed in HYA subjects and only 1.2-fold higher than previously 
observed in HOA subjects in Study APD418-101. This dose level should provide exposure to 
APD418 that is about 8-fold higher than the Cmax (ie, 717 ng/mL) resulting in improvement of 
cardiac function after 6-hour infusion in the dog pharmacology model and could provide a 
maximal therapeutic effect. There were no APD418-related safety concerns at doses up to 
4.17 mg/kg/h over 6 hours (total dose 25 mg/kg) in Study APD418-101 and corresponding to 
APD418 exposure is approximately 1.8-fold higher than that expected at the maximal planned 
dose of 2.0 mg/kg/h (total dose 12 mg/kg) in Study APD418-201. Relative to nonclinical safety 
evaluations, the estimated APD418 plasma concentrations at the highest planned dose are 
0.98-fold to 1.3-fold compared to that observed in the dog (NOAEL) during a 6-hour infusion.

Placebo  
The placebo will be diluted with D5W to match the APD418 volume administered in the same 
cohort and mode of administration will match that of APD418. 
6.3. 
Dosage and Administration  
Each subject will receive a single dose as an IV infusion (APD418 or placebo) over a duration of 
6 hours. The initial APD418 dose to be studied in Cohort 1 of Part A will be 0.17 mg/kg/h 
(1 mg/kg). Planned doses for the remaining 4 cohorts in Part A are 0.50, 1.0, 1.5, and 
2.0 mg/kg/h or 3, 6, 9, and 12 mg/kg, respectively. Doses for each subsequent cohort may be 
adjusted depending on the safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous cohort(s). The 
maximum dose in the study will not exceed 2 mg/kg/h (12 mg/kg) without a protocol 
amendment. At the conclusion of Part A, 2 APD418 doses will be selected for expansion in 
Part B based on unblinded safety/tolerability and PD data. Additional details about the dose 
escalation and the dose selection process are described in Sections 10.6.2 and 11.9. Separate 
cohorts of subjects will be used for each dose level.  
The study treatment will arrive at the site blinded and will be administered in a blinded fashion 
to the subjects. A delegated pharmacist or designee will be responsible for providing APD418 or 
placebo to the delegated qualified study personnel for administration as per the randomization 
scheme. Dilution instructions will be provided in a separate pharmacy manual. Placebo and 
APD418 treatments will be diluted based on the body mass of the subject and the assigned cohort 
dose level. Study treatment will be administered intravenously. Larger peripheral veins (ie, in the 
upper forearm) are advised for IV administration and (see Section 4.2). the infusion site will be 
noted as well as a change in the infusion site, if applicable. Selection of vascular access shall 
include assessment of the patient’s condition of the vasculature at the insertion site and proximal 
to the intended insertion site, including condition of skin at intended insertion site and history of 
previous venipunctures and access devices. Areas of flexion or pain on palpation should be 
avoided as well as veins that are compromised (ie, sclerosed, corded, infiltrated). Additionally, it 
is advised to avoid extremities with impaired circulation, such as that caused by lymphedema. 
Hour 0 will correspond to the start of the IV infusion. The exact clock time of the start and end 
of the IV infusion will be recorded.  
The location of IV infusion will be examined prior to start of infusion as well as anytime when a 
subject reports any relevant signs and symptoms such as swelling, redness, pain, tingling and/or 
burning sensation etc, which should be reported as AEs when appropriate.  
6.3.1. 
Dose Interruptions  
Dose interruptions should be avoided if possible. The IV infusion can be interrupted upon any 
sign of clinical concern or if a subject complains of pain, burning or stinging sensation at or 
around the insertion site or anywhere along the venous pathway. Prompt recognition and timely, 
appropriate action should be instituted to prevent any complication(s) and/or prolonging subject 
discomfort. If a mechanical issue (eg, occlusion or infiltration of IV lines) is identified or if the 
peripheral line is not well tolerated, the IV infusion site may be changed to another infusion site 
or a central line. The IV infusion may be interrupted to address these issues for up to 30 minutes. 
Following the interruption, the IV infusion should be resumed to complete the planned full

6 hours. However, in the event of an infusion site related AE, the subject may be discontinued 
from treatment at the discretion of the Investigator, as described in Section 10.6.1. 
Subjects experiencing any type of infusion site AE should be closely observed for at least 
24 hours after dosing or until symptom resolution, and should be clinically handled in 
accordance with the standard medical practice and relevant guidelines. At the conclusion of the 
Postdose in-clinic observation period, subjects who do not achieve complete symptom resolution 
but are improving and are stable for discharge should be instructed to monitor the affected area.  
6.4. 
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment  
Each subject will be assigned a unique identification number upon Screening. Eligible subjects 
will be centrally randomized into the study using an interactive response technology (IRT) 
system. In Part A, subjects who complete the study Screening assessments and meet all the 
eligibility criteria will be randomized to study treatment in a 5:2 ratio (APD418:placebo), 
stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%). In Part B, subjects who complete the study 
Screening assessments and meet all the eligibility criteria will be randomized to study treatment 
in a 1:1:1 ratio (2 doses of APD418:placebo), stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%) and 
baseline carvedilol use (yes, no). 
Subject identification numbers will be 12 characters in length, including dashes, 
201-CCSS-XXX. The first 3 digits represent the study number, the 4 digits following the first 
dash represent the combination of country code (CC) and the site number (SS), and the last 
3 digits represent the subject number (XXX). Subject numbers will be assigned strictly 
sequentially at every site as subjects become eligible for enrollment, starting from 001. If a 
subject withdraws their participation in the study, then their unique subject number cannot be 
reused. 
After the initial 7 subjects in each cohort in Part A have been randomized, subsequent subjects 
may be screened and, if possible, will not be randomized until the next dose level has been set; 
however, if it is not possible for the subject to wait for randomization into the subsequent dose 
cohort, the subject may be enrolled in the current dose cohort.   
In Part A, in the event that a subject does not complete at least 4 hours of infusion and scheduled 
RHC assessments in that period, an additional subject may be allocated within the cohort to the 
same treatment as the discontinued subject at the discretion of the Sponsor. Additional subject(s) 
will only be enrolled in cases in which discontinuation was not the result of an AE considered 
probably related or related to study drug in the opinion of the Investigator, including the 
following: 
• Technical issues resulting in incomplete study treatment administration  
• Withdrawal based on subject or Investigator decision (not associated with an AE 
considered probably related or related to study drug in the opinion of the Investigator) 
The sample size will not increase by more than approximately 15% without a protocol 
amendment. 
6.5. 
Selection and Timing of Dose for Each Subject  
This is a single-dose study. Study treatment administration will occur only on Day 1 of the study.

6.6. 
Blinding  
The study treatment will arrive at the site blinded and will be administered in a blinded fashion 
to the subjects. The delegated pharmacist or designee will be blinded to active/placebo treatment 
and unblinded to the dose level in Part B of the study. The delegated pharmacist or designee will 
prepare APD418 or placebo and provide the appropriate study treatment to the blinded delegated 
qualified study personnel for administration. The Investigator and other clinical staff will be 
blinded to the treatment and will not be unblinded unless needed for safety reasons. Individuals 
who are part of the Sponsor’s safety team (who are not otherwise involved with study conduct) 
may be unblinded to the treatment (eg, for the purpose of regulatory reporting). Representatives 
from the bioanalytical lab responsible for analyzing PK samples during the study will be 
unblinded to treatment assignments. These individuals will not be involved in the management of 
the study and will not access other subject data. The identity of specific treatments is not to be 
disclosed to subjects or to any other study personnel.  
After treatment of each cohort in Part A, an assessment of the safety/tolerability and PK data will 
be conducted by the dose escalation committee (blinded data review by the Sponsor and 
Investigator representatives) to determine whether dose escalation to the next dose level in 
Part A can occur. Doses for each subsequent cohort in Part A may be adjusted depending on the 
safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous cohort(s). If warranted during blinded safety 
reviews, unblinded data may be reviewed by the dose selection committee, who are not involved 
in study conduct, to determine if dose escalation can continue. At the conclusion of Part A, the 
dose selection committee will perform safety/tolerability and PD data assessment to identify 
2 APD418 doses to be expanded in Part B (unblinded review of Part A data by the Sponsor 
representatives who are not directly involved in study conduct; site staff and sponsor 
representatives involved in study conduct will remain blinded throughout the study). 
6.6.1. 
Procedures for Breaking the Blind Prior to Study Completion  
Breaking of the blind is expressly forbidden except in the event of a medical emergency where 
the identity of the study treatment must be known to properly treat the subject. 
Treatment assignments should remain blinded unless that knowledge is necessary to determine 
subject emergency medical care. In the event of a medical emergency, the Investigator has the 
sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a subject’s treatment assignment is warranted 
to provide appropriate medical care. Subject safety must always be the first consideration in 
making such a determination. The IRT is programmed with blind-breaking instructions to guide 
the Investigator on how to obtain treatment assignment in the event of an emergency unblinding. 
If a subject’s treatment assignment is unblinded, the Sponsor must be notified within 24 hours 
after breaking the blind. The date and reason the blind was broken must be recorded in the source 
documentation and electronic case report form (eCRF), as applicable. 
6.7. 
Treatment Compliance  
Treatment compliance will be assessed based on the administration of a single IV infusion 
(APD418 or placebo). The IV infusion will be performed by a delegated qualified personnel. 
Prior to and following IV infusion, the qualified designee will visually inspect the infusion site 
and the infusion bag to ensure that the subject has received the entire dose.

The date, time, and duration of the IV infusion will be documented. Comments will be recorded 
if there are any deviations from the planned IV infusion procedures. In the case of an incomplete 
dosing (ie, caused by an interruption of IV infusion for longer than 30 minutes) as assessed by 
the dose administration staff, the Investigator, and/or the Sponsor, the subject will be 
discontinued from study treatment (Section 8.1).

6.8. 
Concomitant Therapy  
Any medication (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, and/or herbal 
supplements) or vaccine that a subject receives from 30 days prior to Screening through 
Follow-Up phone call must be recorded along with: 
• Reason for use 
• Dates of administration including start and end dates 
• Dosage information including dose and frequency 
The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant 
therapy. 
6.8.1. 
Allowed Concomitant Therapy  
Medications deemed by the Investigator to be appropriate and unlikely to interfere with the 
scientific validity of the study or personal well-being of the subject and which are not prohibited 
as indicated in inclusion and exclusion criteria and/or in Section 5.1 are permitted. Concomitant 
medications, including over-the-counter or prescription therapeutics, natural products, and 
vitamins, should not be changed during Screening or at any time during the duration of the study, 
unless medically necessary; such changes will be captured in the eCRF. 
Subjects should be on guideline-directed medical therapies, unless documented intolerance or 
contradiction. Subjects should be maintained on their stable guideline-directed HF therapy, 
including beta blockers, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme 
inhibitors (ACEI), angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), and/or mineralocorticoid 
receptor antagonists (MRAs), and the type of medications or the dose should not change unless 
medically indicated from the time of consent through the end of study conduct (until the 
Follow-Up phone call). Subjects should have been stabilized on their HF medications for at least 
2 weeks prior to Screening, if possible. On the morning of Day 1, subjects should take their 
morning medications no less than 2 hours prior to RHC insertion, but, if applicable, should 
withhold their morning diuretic dose.

STUDY PERIODS  
9.1. 
Screening  
The Screening Period is to occur up to 21 days prior to and including Day 1 (Days −21 to 1) for 
Part A and 14 days prior to and including Day 1 (Days −14 to 1) for Part B. Screening 
assessments will be performed as described in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). Subjects 
must sign the informed consent before any study-specific procedure can be performed. Eligible 
subjects meeting all inclusion/exclusion criteria requirements may be enrolled. 
9.2. 
Treatment Period  
On Day 1 during Predose Period (prior to RHC insertion), potential eligible subjects (per initial 
Screening criteria) will undergo additional assessments for confirmation of eligibility. Following 
RHC insertion, subjects will enter Baseline stabilization period of at least 2 hours prior to study 
drug administration, which will occur if the patient is deemed eligible for the study based on 
observed hemodynamic parameters, as described in Section 10.3.1. Hemodynamic parameters 
based on RHC will be assessed at the end of Baseline, during Dosing Period throughout the 
study treatment administration (6-hour IV infusion), and for an additional 1 hour after cessation 
of study treatment administration. Subjects will continue to be observed during the Postdose 
Period for a minimum of 18 hours after the end of study treatment administration for PD, PK, 
and safety assessments prior to discharge on Day 2. Subjects are discharged at the Investigator’s 
discretion based upon clinical presentation (if the patient’s clinical state allows) and after all 
scheduled assessments at Hour 24 (+ 6 hours) have been completed.  
Treatment Period (Day 1 and Day 2) assessments are presented in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 4). 
9.3. 
Follow-Up/End of Study  
Subjects will be contacted by phone call for follow-up 7 days (± 2 days) after discharge to assess 
for AEs and changes in concomitant medications. For each subject, study participation is 
completed once the Follow-Up phone call has been conducted. End of Study is defined as 
completion of the final Follow-Up phone call for the last subject. 
9.4. 
Early Termination  
9.4.1. 
Early Termination of Study Treatment  
Subjects who discontinue study treatment (Section 8.1) prior to the end of the full 6-hour IV 
infusion should immediately, if possible, complete the Early End of Infusion assessments 
followed by all Postdose Period/Follow-Up assessments as indicated in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 4). 
9.4.2. 
Early Termination from Study Participation  
Subjects who discontinue from participating in the study (Section 8.2; individual missing data 
points do not count as early discontinuation) should receive the Follow-Up phone call. Site staff 
should work with subjects who withdraw early to obtain as much follow-up data as possible.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES  
10.1. 
Subject Informed Consent  
The Investigator, or a person delegated by the Investigator, will obtain written informed consent 
from each subject before any study-specific activity is performed (refer to Section 12.3). 
10.2. 
Screening and Eligibility  
Subject eligibility will be assessed based on protocol inclusion and exclusion criteria. All 
screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential subjects meet all 
eligibility criteria. 
Certain Screening and eligibility assessments must be performed on Day 1 prior to 
randomization, as described in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). All other Screening and 
eligibility assessments must be completed any time within the Screening Period prior to 
randomization on Day 1, unless otherwise specified (Table 4). 
Individuals may qualify for study enrollment following a clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory test, vital signs, or ECG finding by having that test repeated once with acceptable 
results as judged by the Investigator (or designee). The Investigator may consult with the 
Medical Monitor as needed. If additional retests are considered, the Clinical Lead should be 
consulted, and the outcome of the conversation should be documented. 
10.2.1. 
Rescreening  
Subjects who have not been randomized and/or do not meet the remaining inclusion and 
exclusion criteria may be re-consented and re-screened with a new screening number if the 
Investigator assesses that the subject is an appropriate candidate for re-screening. The 
Investigator may consult with the Medical Monitor if there are any questions related to 
rescreening a subject. Subjects may not be rescreened more than once. 
10.2.2. 
Demography and Other Subject Characteristics  
Demographics including year of birth, sex at birth, reproductive status for female subjects, 
ethnicity, and race as described by the subject will be collected at Screening. Other subject 
characteristic information such as height and weight will also be collected. 
10.2.3. 
Social History  
At Screening, a social history including the amount and duration of tobacco, alcohol, and 
caffeine use will be collected. 
10.2.4. 
Prior and Ongoing Therapies  
All medications and procedures conducted within 30 days prior to the first dose will be recorded 
at Screening. Updates to medications or procedures prior to dosing should be made as needed.

10.2.5. 
Medical History/Cardiovascular History  
A complete medical history of each subject will be collected and documented at Screening to 
determine subject eligibility. The history should include baseline disease characteristics relevant 
to the study, ie, the cardiovascular history including date and details of diagnosis, associated 
interventional procedures, and/or hospitalizations; blood donations (within 30 days), illnesses, 
participation in other investigational drug studies, and participation in any medical device 
clinical investigations will also be documented. 
10.2.6. 
Drugs of Abuse  
A standard urine drug screen will be performed on Day 1; however, it is not required to result the 
urine drug screen prior to randomization. If urine samples for urine drug screen cannot be 
obtained prior to study treatment administration due to the timing of events as required by 
subject safety considerations, then it can be obtained after study treatment administration and 
prior to discharge. 
10.2.7. 
Pregnancy Testing  
A serum pregnancy test for beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) will be performed at 
Screening on women of childbearing potential to determine eligibility. Urine pregnancy test 
(β-hCG) will be performed, and a negative result is required to be documented, for female 
subjects of childbearing potential on Day 1 prior to randomization to confirm eligibility as 
indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). In the case of a positive urine β-hCG test, a 
serum β-hCG test will be performed to confirm pregnancy; only in cases where the serum 
pregnancy test is negative, can the subject be enrolled in the study.  
Women who are surgically sterile or who are postmenopausal are not considered to be of 
childbearing potential. Postmenopausal is defined as 12 consecutive months with no menses 
without an alternative medical cause.  
10.2.8. 
Clinical Laboratory Assessments  
Clinical chemistry, hematology, and coagulation parameters assessed at Screening to determine 
eligibility are identified in Table 2 and in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). These 
assessments will be performed at the central laboratory; however, if it is not possible to obtain 
central laboratory results for Screening assessments prior to Day 1 (eg, for a subject who is 
stabilizing during hospitalization for an AHF event), local laboratory assessments may be used 
instead for determining eligibility at Screening as long as they can be used to confirm all relevant 
exclusion criteria and the local laboratory panels are comparable to those outlined in Table 2. 
Central labs should not be collected when using local labs to confirm eligibility. 
10.2.9. 
Urinalysis  
Urinalysis parameters assessed at Screening to determine eligibility are identified in Table 2 and 
in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). These assessments will be performed at the central 
laboratory; however, if it is not possible to obtain central laboratory results for Screening 
assessments prior to Day 1 (eg, for a subject who is stabilizing during hospitalization for an AHF 
event), local laboratory assessments may be used instead for determining eligibility at Screening 
as long as they can be used to confirm all relevant exclusion criteria and the local laboratory

panels are comparable to those outlined in Table 2. Central labs should not be collected when 
using local labs to confirm eligibility. 
10.3. 
Pharmacodynamic/Hemodynamic Assessments  
10.3.1. 
Right Heart Catheterization Hemodynamic Assessments  
During the RHC assessments, an experienced cardiologist or designee will measure the 
following hemodynamic parameters: CO/CI, PCWP, right atrial pressure (RAP), 
systolic/diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure (PAS/PAD), systemic vascular resistance/systemic 
vascular resistance index (SVR/SVRI), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and pulmonary 
artery pulsatility index (PAPi). Additional hemodynamic parameters may be assessed, if deemed 
necessary.  
RHC measurements of hemodynamic eligibility criteria will be performed at Baseline on Day 1 
to determine subject eligibility, no less than 1 hour following RHC insertion. PCWP will be 
assessed by 2 successive measurements at least 10 minutes apart. CI measurements will be based 
on the average of 3 individual thermodilution recordings, with no delay between recordings. 
PCWP and CI measurements are required to be within 10% and 15%, respectively, of each other 
(Note: The lower value must be within 10% or 15% of the higher value, respectively).  
Baseline hemodynamic parameters measurements will be performed after at least 2 hours 
following RHC insertion and stabilization (and preferably within 1 hour of assessment of 
hemodynamic eligibility criteria), and immediately before the start of study treatment 
administration. The Baseline CI measurement will be based on the average of 3 individual 
thermodilution recordings, with no delay between recordings. Additional recordings may be 
taken as needed until the final 3 recordings are within 15% of each other (Note: The lower value 
must be within 15% of the higher value). During Dosing and Postdose Periods, CI measurements 
will also be based on triplicate thermodilution recordings performed the same way as the 
Baseline CI measurement. 
Additional details regarding the procedures for collection, transfer, and analysis of RHC data 
will be provided in a separate operation manual by the RHC core lab. Planned timepoints for 
RHC assessments are provided in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). 
10.3.2. 
Vital Signs (Blood Pressure and Heart Rate) Assessments  
The following vital sign parameters will be measured as a component of the following PD 
assessments: SBP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and HR. 
Vital signs (SBP, DBP, HR) will be measured and MAP will be calculated. The same equipment 
should be used whenever possible through the study; however, during the RHC assessment 
period, the same equipment must be used. During RHC assessments, vital signs should be 
collected within ± 5 minutes of hemodynamic parameter measurements. For subjects with atrial 
fibrillation, HR should be assessed by pulse measurement over at least 30 seconds.  
Planned timepoints for SBP, DBP, and HR assessments are provided in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 4).

10.3.3. 
Echocardiography Assessments  
During the ECHO assessments, an experienced sonographer will measure cardiac structure and 
function, including the following hemodynamic and cardiac function parameters: Stroke volume 
(SV), SV index (SVI), LVEF, fractional shortening (FS), left ventricular global longitudinal 
strain (LVGLS), left ventricular circumferential strain (LVGCS), left ventricular end-systolic/left 
ventricular/end-diastolic volume (LVESV/LVEDV), E, A, E', S', early/late diastolic velocities 
(E/A) ratio, early mitral filling velocity/early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/E') ratio, 
tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity, and 
left atrial (LA) volume index.  
LVEF at Screening will be assessed by ECHO to determine subject eligibility; however, 
historical LVEF can be assessed by other modalities (eg, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging 
(CMR), computed tomography (CT), nuclear imaging, catheterization). 
Additional details regarding the procedures for collection, transfer, and analysis of ECHO data 
will be provided in a separate operation manual by the ECHO core lab. Planned timepoints for 
ECHO assessments are provided in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). 
10.3.4. 
Markers of Renal Function, Urine Output, and Body Weight  
The following markers of renal function will be measured: eGFR (calculated using the CKD-Epi 
equation), BUN, cystatin C, urine protein/creatinine ratio, and urinary sodium excretion 
(Table 2). These assessments will be based on blood and spot urine sampling.  
Blood samples for eGFR to determine subject eligibility will be assessed centrally during the 
Screening Period; however, if it is not possible to obtain central laboratory results for Screening 
assessments prior to Day 1, local laboratory assessments may be used instead for determining 
eligibility (Section 10.2.8). At all other timepoints eGFR analysis will be performed by the 
central laboratory. Detailed instructions regarding blood and urine sample collection, processing, 
shipping, and analysis for markers of renal function will be provided in a separate laboratory 
manual. The planned timepoints for blood/urine collection are provided in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 4). 
Urine output will be assessed during prespecified intervals by having the subject empty his/her 
bladder and capturing the urine volume at timepoints indicated in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 4), beginning with Baseline (subjects will be asked to void prior to RHC insertion) 
followed by 2-hour intervals during the IV infusion (Dosing Period). During the Postdose Period, 
urine output will be measured during the following intervals in relation to the start of the IV 
infusion: 6 to 10 hours and 10 to 24 hours. Any urine collected during the spot urine sampling 
should be accounted for in the total volume of the appropriate interval. During these intervals, 
the urine samples will be pooled for assessment of both urine volume and PK assessments 
(Section 10.4). 
Body weight will be evaluated as indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). 
10.3.5. 
Cardiac Biomarkers  
The following cardiac biomarkers will be measured: NT-pro-BNP and hs-cTnT (Table 2).

Blood samples for cardiac troponin (hs-cTnT, hs-cTnI, cTnT, or cTnI) to determine subject 
eligibility will be assessed locally during the Predose Period, and in certain circumstances during 
the Screening Period (Section 10.2.8). At all other timepoints hs-cTnT analysis will be 
performed by the central laboratory. Detailed instructions regarding blood sample collection, 
processing, shipping, and analysis for cardiac biomarkers will be provided in a separate 
laboratory manual. Planned timepoints for blood collection are provided in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 4). 
10.4. 
Pharmacokinetic Assessments  
Blood samples for plasma PK analysis of APD418 will be collected at the following timepoints 
in relation to the start of the IV infusion: At Baseline (within 2 hours prior to the start of study 
treatment administration), during the Dosing Period at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours (within 
10 minutes before the end of the IV infusion), and during the Postdose Period at 6.083, 6.167, 
6.25, 6.5, 7, 8, 10, 18, and 24 hours, as indicated by PK blood sample footnote in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 4). Detailed instructions regarding sample collection, processing, and 
shipping will be provided in a separate laboratory manual. 
Pooled urine samples for PK analysis of APD418 will be collected during the following intervals 
in relation to the start of the IV infusion: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to the start of study 
treatment administration), during Dosing Period (0 to 6 hours), and during Postdose Period at the 
same intervals as for urine output (6 to 10 hours and 10 to 24 hours), as indicated in 
Section 10.3.4 and the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). Any extra urine collected during the 
spot urine sampling (Section 10.3.4) should be included in the above pools. Detailed instructions 
regarding sample collection, processing, and shipping will be provided in a separate laboratory 
manual. 
Drug concentration information that may unblind the study will not be reported to investigative 
sites or blinded personnel. 
10.5. 
Safety Assessments  
Safety assessments include assessment of AEs, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (including 
hs-cTnT), ECGs, physical examinations, and concomitant medications.  
Planned timepoints for all safety assessments are provided in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 4). 
10.5.1. 
Vital Signs  
Resting vital signs measurements will be performed with the subject in the supine or seated 
position (rest time at least 5 minutes prior to collection of vital signs) and include HR, blood 
pressure (BP), body temperature, and respiratory rate. Vital signs will be measured prior to any 
blood draws that occur at the same study visit or overlapping timepoint. For subjects with atrial 
fibrillation, HR should be assessed by pulse measurement over at least 30 seconds.  
Planned timepoints for vital signs assessments are provided in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 4).

10.5.2. 
Physical Examinations  
A physical examination will be performed by a licensed physician or designee per the site’s 
standard of care (including examination of general appearance, skin/dermatologic, lymph nodes, 
head, eyes, ears, nose and throat, neck, chest, thorax/lungs, and the following systems: 
Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurologic, hematologic, and musculoskeletal). Abbreviated 
physical examination includes examination of general appearance, thorax/lungs, cardiovascular 
system, and abdomen, as well as assessments of any changes in the subject’s health since the last 
examination.  
Planned timepoints for physical examinations are provided in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 4). A symptom-based physical exam may also be performed at the Investigator’s 
discretion at any time during the study. 
10.5.3. 
Electrocardiography  
All ECGs will be recorded from a 12-lead ECG machine. Every attempt should be made to 
ensure the subject ECG readings are obtained using the same machine throughout the study. 
Intervals to be provided on the confirmed read for each safety ECG are RR, PR, QRS, QT, QTc, 
corrected QT interval using Bazett’s formula (QTcB), and corrected QT interval using 
Fridericia’s formula (QTcF). All ECGs will be recorded with subjects in supine position (rest 
time at least 5 minutes prior to collection). If applicable, it is recommended to collect ECGs at 
least 30 minutes after the end of the subject’s most recent meal. 
The Investigator will be responsible for review and interpretation of ECGs on site for eligibility 
purposes and for determining if the ECG is normal, abnormal clinically insignificant, or 
abnormal clinically significant and recording any clinically relevant worsening from Baseline 
occurring during the study in the AE section of the eCRF. ECGs will also be analyzed by the 
core lab. Both local and central reports must be filed with the source documents. 
Planned timepoints for ECGs are provided in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 4). 
10.5.4. 
Clinical Laboratory Assessments  
All clinical laboratory assessments will be analyzed by a central laboratory unless otherwise 
stated. Details regarding clinical laboratory sample collection, preparation, and shipment of 
central lab samples will be provided in the laboratory manual by the central laboratory. Refer to 
Table 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 4) for timing and frequency for each test. 
Lab results that are invalid, or appear to be invalid, should be repeated when possible. If lab tests 
used to determine subject eligibility are invalid, the tests may be repeated to determine subject 
eligibility as judged by the Investigator (or designee) (ie, it is not required to screen-fail a subject 
prior to repeating the lab test). 
Central laboratory reports and, when applicable, local laboratory reports used for Screening and 
eligibility purposes must be filed with the source documents. The Investigator must review all 
the laboratory reports from the local and central laboratory, document the review, and record any 
clinically relevant changes on the AE section of the eCRF. Clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory findings are those that are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged 
by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the subject’s condition. All laboratory

tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during participation in the study 
should be repeated until the values return to normal or Baseline, or are no longer considered 
clinically significant by the investigator or Medical Monitor.  
In cases when laboratory values from non-protocol-specified assessments are performed at the 
institution’s local laboratory and result in a change in subject management or are considered 
clinically significant by the Investigator (eg, AE or dose modification), then the details must be 
documented on the AE section of the eCRF.

Adverse Events  
10.5.5.1. 
Definitions  
10.5.5.1.1. 
Adverse Event  
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship 
with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or 
disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered 
related to the medicinal product. 
AEs can include, but are not limited to, any of the following: 
• Unfavorable changes in general condition 
• Subjective or objective signs/symptoms 
• Concomitant disease or accidents 
• Clinically relevant adverse changes in laboratory parameters over the course of the 
study

Page 55 of 84 
• Pre-existing conditions that worsen in severity, increase in frequency, or have new 
signs/symptoms 
10.5.5.1.2. 
Serious Adverse Event  
An AE should be classified as an SAE if it meets one of the following criteria: 
Fatal: 
The AE resulted in death. 
Life-threatening: 
The AE placed the subject at immediate risk of death. This 
classification does not apply to an adverse event that hypothetically 
might cause death if it were more severe. 
Hospitalization: 
The AE required or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization. 
Hospitalizations for elective medical or surgical procedures or 
treatments planned before the signing of informed consent in the study 
or routine check-ups are not SAEs by this definition. 
Disabling/ 
incapacitating: 
The AE resulted in a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial 
disruption of the subject’s ability to conduct normal life functions. 
Congenital anomaly 
or birth defect: 
An adverse outcome in a child or fetus of a subject exposed to the 
study treatment before conception or during pregnancy. 
Medically significant: The AE did not meet any of the above criteria but could have 
jeopardized the subject and might have required medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above or involves 
suspected transmission via a medicinal product of an infectious agent. 
10.5.5.1.3. 
Adverse Drug Reaction  
An adverse drug reaction (ADR) in the pre-approval clinical experience with a new medicinal 
product or its new usages, particularly as the therapeutic dose(s) may not be established, is any 
noxious and unintended response to a medicinal product related to any dose. The phrase 
“responses to a medicinal product” means that a causal relationship between a medicinal product 
and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility (ie, the relationship cannot be ruled out). 
10.5.5.1.4. 
Severity  
The severity of each AE will be assessed at the onset by a nurse/or physician. When recording 
the outcome of the adverse event the maximum severity of the AE experienced will also be 
recorded. The severity of each AE will be graded according to the Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE): 
Grade 1: 
Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic 
observations only; intervention not indicated. 
Grade 2: 
Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; 
limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living.

10.5.5.1.5. 
Relationship  
The Investigator is obligated to assess the relationship (causal relationship) between the study 
treatment and each occurrence of each AE. The AE relationship (causal relationship) to study 
treatment must be characterized as one of the following categories: 
Not Related: 
The AE does not follow a reasonable temporal sequence from 
administration of the drug, does not abate upon discontinuation of the 
drug, does not follow a known or hypothesized cause-effect relationship, 
and (if applicable) does not reappear when the drug is reintroduced, 
furthermore, there may exist a clear alternative medical explanation (eg, 
underlying disease state) or association with study procedure or study 
conduct. 
Unlikely Related: 
The temporal association between the AE and the drug is such that the 
drug is not likely to have any reasonable association with the AE. 
Probably Related: 
The AE follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of 
the drug and cannot be reasonably explained by the known 
characteristics of the subject’s clinical state, environmental, or toxic 
factors, or other modes of therapy administered to the subject. 
Related: 
The AE follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of 
the drug, abates upon discontinuation of the drug, follows a known or 
hypothesized cause-effect relationship, and (if appropriate) reappears 
when the drug is reintroduced. 
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 the study treatment administration should be considered and 
investigated. The Investigator should consult the IB and the Product Information of marketed 
products within the drug class, when applicable. For each AE, the Investigator must document in 
the medical notes that he/she has reviewed the adverse event 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, the Investigator 
should always make an initial assessment of causality for every event before the initial 
transmission of the SAE to the Sponsor. The Investigator may change his/her opinion of 
causality based on subsequent receipt of 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. 
10.5.5.2. 
Eliciting, Recording, and Reporting Adverse Events  
10.5.5.2.1. 
Eliciting Adverse Events  
Subjects will be instructed that they may report AEs at any time. An open-ended or nondirected 
method of questioning should be used at each study visit to elicit the reporting of AEs. 


Clinical Study Protocol

Amendment 3.0

Page 58 of 84 
10.5.5.2.2. 
Recording Adverse Events  
The AE reporting period for safety surveillance begins when the subject is initially included in 
the study (date of first signature of informed consent) and continues up to 30 days after the last 
study treatment administration. If an AE is not resolved or stabilized by this time, the Sponsor in 
consultation with the Investigator will decide whether to continue to monitor the AE or closeout 
the event in the database if no further follow-up is necessary.  
Investigator and study personnel will record all AEs and SAEs whether received through an 
unsolicited report by a subject, elicited during subject questioning, discovered during physical 
examination, laboratory testing, and/or other means by recording them on the eCRF and SAE 
Report Form, as appropriate. The following information should be recorded on the AE eCRF: 
• Description including onset and resolution dates 
• Whether it met SAE criteria 
• Severity 
• Relationship to study treatment or other causality 
• Outcome 
Any SAE suspected to be related to the study treatment must be reported whenever it occurs, 
irrespective of the time elapsed since the last study treatment administration. 
For SAEs, events occurring secondary to the primary event should be described on the SAE 
Report Form in the narrative description of the case. 
The following should be considered when recording SAEs: 
• Death is an outcome of an event. The event that resulted in the death should be 
recorded and reported on both the SAE Report Form and eCRF. 
• For hospitalizations, surgical, or diagnostic procedures, the illness leading to the 
surgical or diagnostic procedure should be recorded as the SAE, not the procedure 
itself. The procedure should be captured in the narrative as part of the action taken in 
response to the illness. 
10.5.5.2.3. 
Diagnosis Versus Signs or Symptoms  
In general, the use of a unifying diagnosis is preferred to the listing out of individual symptoms. 
Grouping of symptoms into a diagnosis should only be done if each component sign and/or 
symptom is a medically confirmed component of a diagnosis as evidenced by standard medical 
textbooks. If any aspect of a sign or symptom does not fit into a classic pattern of the diagnosis, 
report the individual symptom as a separate adverse event. 
10.5.5.3. 
Reporting Serious Adverse Events  
All SAEs are subject to reporting requirements.

10.5.5.3.1. 
Serious Adverse Events  
All SAEs, whether or not considered related to study treatment, must be reported to the Sponsor 
Contact immediately, without undue delay, and under no circumstances later than 24 hours 
of becoming aware of the event. In addition, a completed report using the Sponsor’s SAE 
Report Form must be submitted within 24 hours of notification to the designated Sponsor 
Contact.  
IQVIA Pharmacovigilance 
Phone: +1-866-599-1341 
Fax: +1-866-599-1342 
Email (preferred method): ArenaSafety@iqvia.com 
If additional follow-up information is required or becomes available for a previously reported 
SAE, the new information should be reported to the designated Sponsor Contact within 
24 hours of awareness.  
Elective hospitalization and/or surgery for clearly preexisting conditions (eg, a surgery that has 
been scheduled prior to the subject’s entry into the study) will not be reported as an SAE. All 
other hospitalizations, including elective hospitalizations for any condition that was not 
preexisting, will be reported as an SAE. 
Any SAE that is ongoing when the subject completes the study or discontinues the study will be 
followed by the Investigator until the event resolves, stabilizes or returns to baseline status. 
10.5.5.3.2. 
Serious, Unexpected Adverse Drug Reactions  
All ADRs that are both serious and unexpected are subject to expedited reporting to regulatory 
agencies and will be reported in accordance with Directive 2001/20/EC or as per national 
regulatory requirements in participating countries. An unexpected ADR is one for which the 
nature or severity is not consistent with information in the relevant source documents. 
The following documents or circumstances will be used (by the Sponsor) to determine whether 
an adverse event/ADR is expected: 
1. For a medicinal product not yet approved for marketing in a country, the Reference 
Safety Information (RSI) section of a company’s IB will serve as the source document 
in that country. 
2. Reports that add significant information on specificity or severity of a known, already 
documented serious ADR constitute unexpected events. For example, an event more 
specific or more severe than described in the RSI in the IB would be considered 
“unexpected”. 
10.5.6. 
Pregnancy  
Details of all pregnancies in female subjects and female partners of male subjects will be 
collected after the start of study treatment and until 90 days after the end of study treatment. 
Pregnancy (during maternal or paternal exposure to study treatment) does not meet the definition 
of an adverse event; however, to fulfill regulatory requirements, any pregnancy and/or pregnancy

outcome should be reported via the Pregnancy Report Form to the designated Sponsor Contact 
within 24 hours of awareness. 
Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, congenital 
anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs and should be reported as such even if 
outside the SAE reporting period. 
10.6. 
Safety-Related Stopping Criteria  
10.6.1. 
Study Treatment Stopping Criteria  
Study treatment will be discontinued per subject and the subject will follow procedures described 
in Section 9.4.1 if the following safety-related criteria occur: 
• A subject experiences an AE of arrythmia or hemodynamic instability, which is not 
tolerated and is considered probably related or related to study drug in the opinion of 
the Investigator  
• A subject experiences a complication related to an infusion site reaction and/or the 
RHC procedure, which in the opinion of the Investigator puts subject safety at risk 
10.6.2. 
Dose Escalation Stopping Criteria  
Safety data will be monitored in a blinded manner on an ongoing basis throughout the duration 
of the study. After treatment of each cohort in Part A, an assessment of the safety/tolerability and 
PK data will be conducted by the dose escalation committee (blinded data review by the Sponsor 
and Investigator representatives) to determine whether dose escalation to the next dose level in 
Part A can occur. Doses for each subsequent cohort in Part A may be adjusted depending on the 
safety, tolerability, and PK results of previous cohort(s).  
The dose escalation committee will use the following safety-related criteria per cohort to 
preclude escalation to the next planned dose level in Part A: 
• Two or more subjects experience an SAE considered probably related or related to 
study drug in the opinion of the Investigator and the dose selection committee   
• Two or more subjects experience an AE Grade 3 or higher related to clinical 
instability associated with hemodynamic/arrhythmia events requiring intervention 
(pharmacologic or mechanical) considered probably related or related to study drug in 
the opinion of the Investigator  
• Two or more subjects experience a CNS-associated AE Grade 3 or higher considered 
probably related or related to study drug in the opinion of the Investigator  
• Three or more subjects experience an infusion site related AE Grade 3 or higher 
considered probably related or related to study drug in the opinion of the Investigator  
• Two or more subjects experience a clinically significant increase in ALT or AST, and 
TBIL, indicative of drug-induced liver injury. For subjects with values < 2× ULN 
prior to dosing, this criterion is met with ALT or AST ≥ 3 × ULN, and TBIL ≥ 2 × 
ULN, following study treatment administration. For subjects with values ≥ 2 × ULN 
prior to dosing, a 100% increase from baseline values meets the criterion 


Clinical Study Protocol

• Two or more subjects experience clinical worsening of renal function requiring 
intervention (pharmacologic or mechanical; eg, intensification of diuretic treatment 
due to renal function deterioration or the need for dialysis) 
• Mean cohort Cmax exceeds 5700 ng/mL and/or AUC0-∞ with the 6-hour infusion 
exceeds 39,000 ng·h/mL  
In addition to the safety-related dose escalation stopping criteria listed above, the dose escalation 
safety committee will review overall safety (including AEs, clinical laboratory, and vital 
sign/ECG data) and PK data of each cohort when deciding whether to escalate to the next 
planned dose level in Part A.  
If warranted during blinded safety reviews, unblinded data may also be reviewed by the dose 
selection committee, who are not involved in study conduct, to adjudicate relatedness of SAEs or 
assess overall subject safety and determine if dose escalation can continue.  
In the event that dose escalation cannot occur as planned, alternative (lower) dose(s) may be 
explored in the subsequent cohort(s) in Part A (details described in Section 11.9).  
10.7. 
Maximum Blood Volume  
Blood sample collection during RHC assessments must be performed via indwelling catheter. 
Standard venipuncture may be used for blood collection during other study periods. 
The maximum amount of blood collected from each subject over the duration of the study, 
including planned PK and planned clinical laboratory samples will not exceed 260 mL. Repeat or 
unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues with the samples. 
10.8. 
Procedures for Overdose  
The current version of the IB should be referenced for overdose procedures.   
10.9. 
Pharmacogenomic and Future Analyses  
10.9.1. 
Pharmacogenomic Samples  
Participation in the genetic testing portion of the study is optional. Subjects who do not wish to 
participate in the genetic research may still participate in the study. A blood sample will be 
collected at Baseline only from the subjects who give consent to participate in the genetic 
research. The sample will be utilized to determine OATP genotype. 
The biological material will be stored at a secure laboratory designated by the Sponsor for up to 
10 years after the study is completed. In addition to analyses performed during the study, 
samples will be saved for potential future exploratory research aimed at identifying/exploring 
genetic variations and response to APD418 that may affect its PK, pharmacodynamics, safety, or 
tolerability, if warranted. The Sponsor and CRO involved in the clinical conduct, bioanalytical 
analyses, PK and/or statistical analyses of the data will have access to the samples and the data 
that result from the analysis, if performed. Samples will not be submitted to a public database. 
By signing the informed consent form (ICF), subjects agree to the possible future analysis of 
these samples. At any time, the subjects can contact the clinical staff to request destruction of 
their residual samples after the required assessments are completed.

samples are provided in a separate laboratory manual.  
10.9.2. 
Future PK and Biomarker Research  
Any residual plasma and/or urine from PK sample collection will be stored by the Sponsor or 
bioanalytical facility for up to 3 years (or according to local regulations) after the closing of the 
study and may be used for future drug related research such as profiling of drug binding proteins, 
bioanalytical method development and validation purposes, stability assessments, metabolite 
assessments, or to assess other actions of the drug with plasma constituents. The analyses will 
only focus on analytes and/or additional biomarkers to further study the disposition and efficacy 
of APD418 and/or its mechanism of action. No disease/conditions, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) 
or ribonucleic acid (RNA) will be the focus of these analyses. Samples will not be submitted to a 
public database. The Sponsor and CROs involved in the clinical conduct and analyses of the 
samples/data will have access to the samples and/or the data that result from the analyses, if 
performed. At any time, the subjects can contact the clinical staff to request destruction of their 
residual samples after the required assessments are completed.

PLANNED STATISTICAL METHODS  
11.1. 
General Considerations  
Details regarding the statistical analyses will be provided in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP), 
which will be finalized prior to database lock and unblinding. 
Continuous variables will be summarized using the number of observations, mean, standard 
deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum. Categorical variables will be summarized 
using frequency counts and percentages. 
Continuous variables measured at scheduled timepoints will be analyzed using a mixed-effects 
model with repeated measures (MMRM) method. The MMRM model will include treatment 
group, timepoint, interaction of treatment-by-timepoint, and randomization stratification factors 
as factors, and Baseline measure as a covariate. An unstructured covariance matrix will be 
specified for the MMRM model. Least square (LS) means at visit and LS mean differences 
between treatment group with p-values and corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be 
reported. 
Unless otherwise specified, continuous endpoints will be analyzed using analysis of covariance 
(ANCOVA) with a model that includes treatment group and randomization stratification factors 
as factors, and Baseline CI value and other Baseline value as covariates. The LS means, standard 
errors (SE), and 95% confidence intervals for the treatments and their difference will be 
presented together with their p-values. 
Categorical endpoints will be analyzed by either the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel method, Fisher’s 
exact test, or by logistic regression with a model that includes treatment group and 
randomization stratification factors as factors, and Baseline CI value and other and Baseline 
value as covariates. The odds ratio relative to placebo and percentage of difference from placebo 
will be presented together with corresponding 95% confidence intervals and the p-value.

Where statistical assumptions (eg, normality, proportional odds) are not met, alternative 
approaches will be evaluated (eg, non-parametric analysis, log transformation). 
Efficacy data will be analyzed by randomized treatment, while safety data will be analyzed by 
actual treatment. 
11.2. 
Determination of Sample Size  
Approximately 80 subjects are planned to be enrolled in this study (35 in Part A and 45 in 
Part B). It is assumed that CI, as measured with RHC, from Baseline to end of infusion is 
normally distributed with a mean of 2.0 and SD of 0.5. Sixty-five evaluable subjects (20 subjects 
in each of the 2 APD418 treatment groups and 25 in placebo) is sufficient to achieve at least 80% 
power to detect a treatment effect of 0.45 in favor of APD418 (a clinically significant 
improvement of 22.5% from placebo) between each of the APD418 treatment groups and 
placebo by a 2-sample t-test using a 2-sided significance level of 0.05. 
The primary endpoint analysis will be based on pooled data from subjects in Part A and Part B. 
There will be 2 APD418 treatment groups of 20 subjects each (planned to consist of 5 subjects 
from Part A and 15 subjects from Part B) and one placebo treatment group of 25 subjects 
(planned to consist of 10 subjects from Part A and 15 subjects from Part B). 
. 
11.3. 
Stratification  
In Part A, randomization will be stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%). In Part B, 
randomization will be stratified by Screening LVEF (> 25%, ≤ 25%) and baseline carvedilol use 
(yes, no). 
11.4. 
Analysis Sets  
The primary and secondary endpoints will be analyzed using the Full Analysis Set (FAS) and 
safety endpoints will be performed using the Safety Set. For purposes of analysis, the following 
populations are defined (Table 3).

11.9. 
Dose Escalation and Dose Selection  
After treatment of each cohort in Part A, an assessment of the safety/tolerability and PK data will 
be performed by the dose escalation committee (blinded data review by the Sponsor and 
Investigator representatives) prior to dose escalation to the next dose level in Part A. The 
decision to escalate to the next planned dose level in Part A will be made with consideration of 


Clinical Study Protocol 
APD418-201

Page 67 of 84 
the safety-related dose escalation stopping criteria and overall safety (including AEs, clinical 
laboratory, and vital sign/ECG data) and PK data of each cohort, as described in Section 10.6.2.  
Doses for each subsequent cohort in Part A may be adjusted depending on the safety, tolerability, 
and PK results of previous cohort(s). The maximum dose in the study will not exceed 2 mg/kg/h 
(12 mg/kg) and will not produce exposures to APD418 higher than that predicted for a 12 mg/kg 
dose (ie, Cmax of 5700 ng/mL or AUC0-∞ of 39,000 ng·h/mL) without a protocol amendment.  
The dose escalation committee may decide to evaluate an alternative dose(s) in the subsequent 
cohort(s) in Part A in the following scenarios: 
• Based on the safety profile observed, lower or higher than planned dose(s) may be 
chosen to be evaluated in the subsequent cohort(s) (not to exceed 12 mg/kg without a 
protocol amendment) 
• If large deviations from the expected PK profile are observed, adjustment to the 
planned dose escalations may occur to ensure evaluation of dose levels that will elicit 
appropriate exposure  
• If warranted based on the emerging safety and PK data, up to 1 additional or 1 fewer 
cohort may be studied than originally planned  
At the conclusion of Part A, the dose selection committee will perform a safety/tolerability and 
PD data assessment to identify 2 doses to be expanded in Part B (unblinded review of Part A data 
by the Sponsor representatives who are not directly involved in study conduct; site staff, and 
sponsor representatives involved in study conduct will remain blinded throughout the study). 
Selection of doses will be based on the criteria including, but not limited to: 
• Doses selected for expansion in Part B have shown a favorable safety profile in 
Part A as determined by the criteria described in Section 10.6.2  
• Doses selected for expansion in Part B have shown clinically relevant PD effects 
indicating a clinically meaningful benefit in cardiac function (eg, SV, CO, LVEF) 
Sample size for Part B may also be adjusted based on data review of Part A. The sample size will 
not increase by more than approximately 15% of the sample size without a protocol amendment. 
11.10. 
Pharmacodynamic Analysis  
The primary PD endpoint of the study is the change in CI measured by RHC from Baseline to 
end of infusion at 6 hours. The primary PD analysis will be analyzed be MMRM method. The 
MMRM model will include treatment group, timepoint, interaction of treatment-by-timepoint, 
and randomization stratification factor as factors, and Baseline CI as a covariate. An unstructured 
covariance matrix will be specified for the MMRM model. LS means at visit and LS mean 
differences between treatment group with p-values and corresponding 95% confidence intervals 
will be reported. 
Potential relationships may be explored between select subject/disease characteristics (eg, 
Baseline LVEF, Baseline CI, Baseline SBP, duration of HFrEF, renal function, concomitant 
medications) and select PD measures (eg, change in CI). 
Details regarding the statistical analyses will be provided in the SAP.

11.11. 
Pharmacokinetic Analyses  
PK parameters will be calculated using noncompartmental modeling.  
Calculated plasma PK parameters will include, but will not necessarily be limited to AUC0-6, 
AUClast, AUC0-∞, Cmax, t1/2, t1/2α, tmax, CL, Vdz, VdSS, MRTlast, and Cave. Urinary PK parameters 
will include, but not be limited to, the amount of unchanged drug excreted during each collection 
interval from t1 to t2 (Aet1-t2), total amount of unchanged excreted in urine over the collection 
period (amount excreted [Ae]), renal clearance (CLr) and the fraction of drug excreted 
unchanged in the urine, expressed as a percentage of total dose (fraction excreted [Fe]). 
Collected plasma and urine PK samples may also be used for profiling of drug binding proteins, 
bioanalytical method validation purposes, stability assessments, or to assess other actions of 
APD418 with plasma constituents.  
A detailed description of all PK analyses will be provided in the SAP. 
Potential relationships may be explored between select plasma APD418 exposure parameters and 
select PD measures (eg, change in CI).  
OATP genotyping will be analyzed and presented in the listing to allow any potential future 
analysis. 
11.12. 
Safety Analyses  
AEs will be listed and summarized by system organ class and preferred term, as well as 
according to severity and causality/relationship to study treatment. TEAEs will be summarized 
by cohort and treatment group. In addition, TEAEs will be pooled across treatment groups (ie, 
placebo, APD418). Observed values for clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and safety 12-lead 
and ECGs will be summarized by cohort and treatment group. Individual data listings of clinical 
laboratory tests results will be presented for each subject. Observed values and changes from 
Baseline will be summarized descriptively. Safety 12-lead ECG data (observed values and 
change from Baseline) will be listed for each subject and timepoint. Observed values will be 
classified for normal, abnormality that is not clinically significant, and clinically significant 
abnormality by cohort, treatment, and timepoint of collection. Results of other safety 
assessments will be listed and summarized as appropriate.  
A detailed description of all safety analyses will be provided in the SAP. 
11.12.1. 
Adverse Events  
AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). 
For each treatment group, the proportion of subjects with TEAEs will be summarized overall, by 
severity, and by relationship to study treatment. SAEs will also be summarized by treatment 
group. A TEAE is defined as: 
• An AE that occurs after initiation of study treatment that was not present at the time 
of treatment start. 
• An AE that increases in severity after the initiation of medication, if the event was 
present at the time of treatment start.

AEs occurring before the first dose of study treatment will be summarized separately. 
11.12.2. 
Extent of Exposure  
The duration of time on study and time on study treatment will be summarized for each treatment 
group using descriptive statistics.  
11.12.3. 
Clinical Laboratory Parameters  
Laboratory parameters will be summarized by treatment group at each scheduled assessment 
timepoint using descriptive statistics. 
11.12.4. 
Electrocardiograms  
Individual ECG values will be listed by cohort, treatment, and timepoint, and summarized using 
descriptive statistics. Intervals to be provided for each ECG are RR, PR, QRS, QT, QTc, QTcB, 
and QTcF. Post-Baseline ECGs for each subject will be compared with the Baseline ECG. Any 
clinically significant change from Baseline may be recorded as an AE if deemed appropriate by 
the Investigator, or Investigator in consultation with the Clinical Lead. Outlier analysis will be 
performed on all subjects with QTcF values greater than 500 ms or change from Baseline 
> 60 ms in the absence of Baseline ECG abnormalities that preclude accurate surface ECG 
assessment of ventricular repolarization (eg, bundle branch block). 
11.12.5. 
Vital Signs  
Descriptive statistics for vital signs (SBP, DBP, HR, respirations, and body temperature) will be 
presented by treatment group. 
11.12.6. 
Physical Examination  
Clinically significant physical examination abnormalities will be included in medical history or 
recorded and summarized as an AE. 
12.

a Screening period for Part A is up to 21 days prior to (and including) Day 1. Screening period for Part B is up to 14 days prior to (and including) Day 1. 
b Predose assessments are performed on Day 1 prior to RHC insertion (Hours > −2), including certain assessments for confirmation of eligibility. 
c Baseline assessments are performed over at least 2 hours from RHC insertion to start of study treatment administration (Hours −2 to 0), including confirmation of hemodynamic 
eligibility criteria and randomization, followed by all other assessments ending with Baseline hemodynamic parameters measurements. 
d Dosing Period to occur over 6 hours from start to end of IV infusion (Hours 0 to 6). 
e Postdose Period to occur over 18 to 24 hours from end of IV infusion (Hours 6 to 24 [+ 6 hours]). 
f Subjects are discharged at the Investigator's discretion based upon clinical presentation (if the patient’s clinical state allows) and after all scheduled assessments at Hour 24 
(+ 6 hours) have been completed. 
g Follow-Up phone contact to occur on Day 9 (± 2 days) to assess for AEs and any changes to concomitant medications. Site staff will work with Early Termination subjects to 
obtain as much follow-up data as possible.  
h Assessments can occur within 60 minutes of Hour 6, with priority on the RHC assessments occurring as close as possible to 6 hours after start of IV infusion/EOI. The following 
order of assessments should be followed, if possible: 12-lead ECG, ECHO, vital signs, RHC hemodynamic parameter measurements, blood sampling, EOI, urine sampling.

i Subjects who discontinue study treatment prior to the end of the full 6-hour IV infusion will immediately, if possible, complete the EEOI assessments followed by all Postdose 
Period/Follow-Up assessments. In such situations, order of assessments specified in footnote “h” can be modified, but the priority should be given to RHC hemodynamic 
parameter measurements, vital signs, and blood sampling occurring as close as possible to EOI.  
j Only weight. The weight collected during the Predose Period will be used to calculate the subject’s dose. 
k Subjects are allowed a light meal 2 hours prior to RHC insertion (at least 4 hours prior to Baseline hemodynamic parameters measurements). Another light meal is provided after 
the 2-hour assessments are completed. After the end of RHC measurements, the meals can be provided per the site’s SOC. 
l Physical examination is performed per the site's SOC at Screening and abbreviated physical examination is performed during the Predose Period. A symptom-based physical
examination is performed prior to Discharge.
m Vital signs include BP, HR, respiratory rate, and temperature. Temperature and respiratory rate are collected only at the following timepoints: Baseline, Hour 6, and Hour 24. 
During RHC assessments, vital signs (BP and HR) are collected within ± 5 minutes of hemodynamic parameter measurements. 
n If applicable, it is recommended to collect ECGs at least 30 minutes after the end of the subject’s most recent meal. 
o ECHO is performed at Screening to confirm eligibility (LVEF ≤ 35%).
p RHC measurements for confirmation of hemodynamic eligibility criteria (CI ≤ 2.5 L/min/m2 and PCWP ≥ 15 mm Hg) are performed at Baseline no less than 1 hour following
RHC insertion. After at least 2-hour stabilization period, Baseline hemodynamic parameters measurements are performed prior to start of study treatment administration. During 
the Dosing and Postdose Periods, hemodynamic parameters measurements are performed at specified timepoints (at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours during Dosing Period, and at 
0.5 and 1 hour during Postdose Period). 
q Cardiac biomarkers include NT-pro-BNP and hs-cTnT. Only cardiac troponin is required at Screening and Predose for eligibility purposes (hs-cTnT, hs-cTnI, cTnT, or cTnI), 
and it is collected and reported locally at Predose and at Screening if required per Section 10.3.5. 
r Renal function assessments include eGFR, BUN, cystatin C, urine protein/creatinine ratio, and urinary sodium excretion. Subjects are encouraged to provide urine sample at 
these timepoints. Only eGFR is required at Screening for eligibility purposes, and may be collected and reported locally if required per Section 10.3.4. 
s Urine output is assessed during prespecified intervals by having the subject empty his/her bladder and capturing the urine volume at indicated timepoints. Any spot urine samples 
collected during the intervals will be accounted for in the total volume for that specific interval. Urine output is assessed during the following intervals in relation to the start of 
the IV infusion: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to study treatment administration), every 2 hours during the IV infusion (at Hours 2, 4, and 6), and during the Postdose Period at 
6 to 10 hours and 10 to 24 hours intervals.  
t Local laboratory assessments may be used for determining eligibility at Screening under certain circumstances; refer to Sections 10.2.8, and 10.2.9 for clinical laboratory
assessments (and serum pregnancy) and urinalysis, respectively. 
u Serum pregnancy test is performed for female subjects of childbearing potential to determine eligibility at Screening. Urine pregnancy test is performed and a negative result is
required to be documented for female subjects of childbearing potential at Day 1 prior to randomization to confirm eligibility. In case of positive urine pregnancy test, serum
pregnancy test should be performed before the subject can be enrolled in the study.
v It is not required to result the urine drug screen prior to randomization. If a urine drug screen cannot be obtained prior to study treatment administration due to the timing of
events as required by subject safety considerations, then it can be obtained after study treatment administration and prior to discharge. 
w Continuous 6-hour IV infusion.
x Blood samples for plasma PK are collected as denoted in the table above. In addition to the timepoints denoted in the table above, blood samples for plasma PK are collected
during the Postdose Period at 6.083, 6.167, 6.25 hours. The collection at Hour 6 should be done within 10 minutes before EOI. 
y Urine samples for PK analysis are collected during the following intervals in relation to the start of the IV infusion: Baseline (within 2 hours prior to study treatment
administration), 0 to 6 hours, 6 to 10 hours, and 10 to 24 hours. 
AE, adverse event; BP, blood pressure; BUN, blood urea nitrogen; CI, cardiac index; DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid; ECHO, echocardiogram; ECG, electrocardiogram; EEOI, early 
end of infusion; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; EOI, end of infusion; HR, heart rate; hs-cTnT, high-sensitive cardiac troponin T; IV, intravenous; LVEF, left

Subject:
Addendum to APD418-201 NTF to document the status of select post-database 
lock outline plan for pharmacokinetic analyses
Background:
On 25 August 2022, the decision was made to discontinue development of the 
Arena cardiovascular programs, which includes APD418. 
As a result of the immediate termination, the biostatistics aspects related to 
finalizing documents (e.g., statistical analysis plan [SAP]) and other downstream 
activities pertaining to pharmacokinetic analyses were either draft and/or have not 
been established. These tasks would have taken significant time and resources by 
both the Arena and Medpace team to finalize, which was not feasible given the 
accelerated study close-out timeline, including the database lock (DBL) which 
occurred on 24 October 2022. The document here serves as the addendum to 
APD418-201 NTF (approved on 21 October 2022) to outline the plans for select 
post-database lock pharmacokinetic analyses.
Final Status:
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis 
As per draft statistical analysis plan (SAP) v0.3
Final pharmacokinetic analysis completed on Nov 14

Deliverables & 
Analyses:
Alternative solutions were utilized to provide post-DBL pharmacokinetic analyses. 
PK parameters were estimated as per stated in SAP (v0.3) by Medpace clinical 
pharmacologists. Following DBL, the raw datasets, both eCRF (EDC) and external 
non-CRF, were made available to Medpace for production of unblinded 
pharmacokinetic outputs. PK TLFs were produced as presented in Appendix I of 
this Note to File, Addendum. Arena utilized this existing report structure in place of 
SAP-based TLFs for the final report.

Subject:
Addendum to APD418-201 NTF to document the status of biometrics-related
documents/processes and outline plan for select post-database lock safety and 
efficacy analyses
 
 
 
Background: 
On 25 August 2022, the decision was made to discontinue development of the 
Arena cardiovascular programs, which includes APD418. Enrollment into the 
ongoing clinical trial APD418-201 was terminated and study team activities were 
reprioritized to focus and accelerate study close-out activities. For this study, the 
biostatistics, data management, and statistical programming deliverables and 
activities are outsourced to the clinical research organization (CRO) Medpace. 
 
As a result of the immediate termination, the biostatistics aspects related to 
finalizing documents (e.g., statistical analysis plan [SAP]) and other downstream 
activities are either immature and/or have not been established. These tasks would 
take significant time and resources by both the Arena and Medpace team to finalize, 
which is not feasible given the accelerated study close-out timeline, which includes 
the database lock (DBL) which occurred on 24 October 2022. The original note to 
file (date: 21 October 2022), is amended here to re-number the outputs included in 
the appendix to be ICH consistent for CSR reporting and added Table 14.3.3.6.

Unblinding
Procedure:
Following completion of the DBL sign-off form, the Medpace project statistician
will circulate the Unblinding form for signature by Arena (Lead Study Statistician,
Head of Biostatistics and Data Management) and by appropriate Medpace team
members. The Medpace project statistician will then present both the signed DBL
and Unblinding forms to the IRT group to document that the unblinded treatment
assignments could be shared with the Biostatistics team for incorporation into the
final database. The signed DBL and Unblinding forms will be included in TMF.
Deliverables &
Analyses:
Since the SAP, CDISC ADaM data development, and statistical programming (e.g.,
dataset level, table level) will not be finalized, alternative solutions are being
utilized to provide post-DBL safety and efficacy analyses.
As outlined in the Study APD418-201 protocol (Section 11.9), a Dose Escalation
Committee is utilized. The Dose Escalation Charter outlines a list of outputs
(presented in Appendix I of this Note to File) produced following each cohort in
Part A of the study. Arena will be utilizing this existing report structure in place of
SAP-based TLFs for the final report.
Following DBL, the raw datasets, both eCRF (EDC) and external non-CRF, will be
made available to Medpace for production of unblinded safety and efficacy outputs
for Part A Cohort 1 (N = 7; reproduction for data completeness) and Part A Cohort
2 (N = 15). A pooled placebo treatment group (Cohort 1 + Cohort 2 will also be
presented in tables and figures).
