INTRODUCTION
5.1.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, serious, life-threatening, X-linked recessive 
degenerative neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene.  These mutations 
disrupt the reading frame of the dystrophin messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) preventing the 
translation of functional dystrophin protein.  Dystrophin is a critical structural protein that 
protects muscle from repeated strain-induced injury.  In the absence of dystrophin, the stress of 
repeated muscle contraction causes cellular degeneration, regeneration, and inflammation, and, 
over time, myonecrosis. 
The progression of DMD follows a highly predictable course.  Significant motor deficits may be 
present during the first year of life, but a diagnosis is usually made between the ages of 3 to 
5 years, when toddlers begin to show functional symptoms (eg, waddling gait, toe walking, and 
difficulty climbing stairs).  Over time, ambulation becomes increasingly abnormal, and by 
8 years of age, most patients lose the ability to rise from the floor and climb stairs, and often fall 
while walking.  By 10 to 14 years of age, most lose the ability to walk.  Upper limb, cardiac, and 
diaphragmatic muscles progressively weaken during adolescence.  Historically, patients died 
from respiratory or cardiac failure in their late teens or early 20s (Eagle 2002; Brooke 1989).  
The use of ventilation support and steroids may increase life span by several years; however, 
DMD still has a mortality rate of 100% (Kohler 2009).
Existing interventions for DMD patients with mutations amenable to exon skipping are largely 
supportive in nature and include bracing, muscle-stretching exercises to avoid onset of 
contractures, tendon-release surgery, and eventual wheelchair use and assisted ventilation.  
Current pharmacologic treatments, such as glucocorticoids, focus on alleviation of symptoms, 
but do not address the underlying cause of the disease.  Corticosteroids may prolong ambulation, 
delay the onset of scoliosis, and improve performance on some measures of clinical function 
(Biggar 2006; Pradhan 2006; Beenakker 2005).  However, their benefits are only temporary, and 
their use is often limited by numerous side effects, including growth inhibition, effects on 
pubertal changes, weight gain, behavioral changes, osteoporosis, Cushingoid facies and habitus, 
and cataracts (Biggar 2006; Manzur 2004).
5.2.
Casimersen and Golodirsen
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) therapeutics are compounds composed of heterocyclic nucleobases 
(adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil, or analogues) linked together on an oligomer backbone 
that supports hybridization via Watson-Crick base pairing with specific complementary RNA 
targets.  A relatively new use of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics is to target a pre-mRNA in 
the nucleus of a cell to influence the splicing process that creates a mature mRNA.  Referred to 
as “exon skipping,” this approach allows determination of which exons will be incorporated into 
the mature mRNA to be translated into the protein product. 
Casimersen (SRP-4045) and golodirsen (SRP-4053) are phosphorodiamidate morpholino 
oligomers that are chemically, structurally, and biologically distinct from other synthetic 
antisense RNA therapeutics.  Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers differ from natural 
nucleic acids and other oligonucleotide therapeutic platforms by having the attachment of

Study 4045-302 (Amendment 4)

CONFIDENTIAL
nucleobases to a 6-membered morpholine ring as opposed to the 5-membered ribose ring found 
in RNA and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).  Moreover, the morpholine rings are linked through 
neutrally charged phosphorodiamidate moieties as opposed to negatively charged phosphodiester 
linkages in RNA and DNA.  These differences were designed to increase stability and address 
safety issues seen with some earlier oligonucleotide backbone chemistries.
Casimersen and golodirsen were developed specifically for patients with DMD who are 
amenable to skipping Exon 45 or Exon 53, respectively. Approximately 8% of all DMD patients
are amenable to skipping Exon 45 or Exon 53 (Aartsma-Rus 2009).  Each of these drugs will 
hybridize with a specific sequence of pre-mRNA transcripts of the DMD gene so that Exon 53 or 
Exon 45 (ie, the targeted exon), is excluded or skipped, restoring the mRNA open reading frame.  
This exon skipping restores the reading frame and results in the production of an internally 
shortened, functional dystrophin protein.   
 
5.2.2.
Clinical Experience with Casimersen and Golodirsen
Casimersen: 
Study 4045-101 was a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-titration, 
safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) study of SRP-4045 in ambulatory patients with 
Duchenne muscular dystrophy amenable to Exon 45 skipping.  The study was conducted as a 
double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-titration portion followed by an open-label extension. 
Study 4045-301 is a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate 
the efficacy and safety of casimersen and golodirsen in patients with DMD who are amenable 
to skipping either Exon 45 or Exon 53, respectively.

Study 4053-101 was a Phase 1/2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 
dose-titration, safety, tolerability, and PK study evaluating golodirsen in patients with 
advanced-stage DMD who are amenable to Exon 53-skipping.  The study was conducted in 2 
parts:  Part 1 consists of a double-blind placebo-controlled, dose-titration and Part 2 is an 
open-label safety and efficacy evaluation.
Study 4045-301 is a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate 
the efficacy and safety of casimersen and golodirsen in patients with DMD who are amenable 
to skipping either Exon 45 or Exon 53, respectively. 
Further details are provided in the Investigator’s Brochure of each study drug.
5.3.
Rationale for the Current Study
Clinical studies evaluating casimersen and golodirsen may conclude prior to these products being 
commercially available.  In December 2019, golodirsen (VYONDYS 53®) received accelerated 
approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of DMD in patients 
who have a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 53 skipping.  As there 
are no other nonsteroidal treatment options for DMD patients who are amenable to Exon 45 or 
Exon 53 skipping, removing active treatment from the patients enrolled in these studies is not 
ethical.  In addition, there is a need to understand the effects of long-term treatment with 
casimersen and golodirsen.  An extension study will allow the continued treatment of the patients 
with either casimersen or golodirsen (depending on their genotype) and the long-term assessment 
of efficacy and safety endpoints. 
5.4.
Benefit and Risk Assessment 
Although no clinical study can guarantee an improvement in efficacy outcome measures to any 
of the patients, the continued long-term treatment with casimersen and golodirsen are expected to 
attenuate the decline in physical functioning that typically occurs with DMD.  Analysis of 
muscle biopsies collected at Baseline and Week 48 during Study 4053-101 indicated that all 
25 patients had evidence of Exon 53 skipping.  In addition, golodirsen significantly increased 
mean dystrophin levels (10.7-fold increase from Baseline) and the dystrophin was localized to 
the sarcolemma (required for proper functioning) (Muntoni 2017).
Both casimersen and golodirsen have been studied in DMD patients at weekly doses of 30 mg/kg 
IV, the same dose to be used in the present study. 
As of data cut-off date of 21 July 2019,  clinical studies with SRP-4045 have been initiated. 
Three of these studies (Study 4045-101, Study 4045-301 [ESSENCE], and Study 4045-302) 
enrolled patients with mutations of the DMD gene amenable to exon 45 skipping, and

In Study 4045-101, the double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-titration period has been 
completed.  During this period, 12 patients were randomized and treated with once-weekly 
IV infusions of placebo (n=4) or casimersen (n=8) in escalating doses (4 mg/kg for 2 weeks, 
10 mg/kg for 2 weeks, 20 mg/kg for 2 weeks, and 30 mg/kg until rollover was allowed into the 
open-label extension period).  All 12 patients entered the open-label period of the study and 
continue to receive 30 mg/kg IV casimersen.  As of 02 February 2018 in Study 4045-301, 
patients amenable to Exon 45 skipping have received 30 mg/kg IV casimersen or placebo.  
 
 
Golodirsen is being evaluated in  studies: Studies 4053-101, 
, and 
4045-301.  As of data cut-off date of 09 September 2019, in the golodirsen clinical development 
program, 
 and Study 
4053-101 in patients with DMD) have been completed, and 2 studies are ongoing (Study 
4045-301 and Study 4045-302 in patients with DMD).  As of 02 February 2018 in Study 
4045-301, 
 patients amenable to Exon 53 skipping have received 30 mg/kg IV golodirsen or 
placebo.  
 
 
The safety and efficacy assessments scheduled during this long-term extension (LTE) study will 
have either no increase or a minimal increase in risk to the patients, beyond that associated with 
DMD. 
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably 
expected adverse events (AEs) of casimersen and golodirsen may be found in their respective

Overall Study Design
Study 4045-302 is a multicenter, open-label study evaluating the long-term safety and efficacy of 
30 mg/kg casimersen or golodirsen in patients with DMD amenable to skipping Exon 45 or Exon 
53, respectively. 
Patients with DMD who are amenable to skipping Exon 45 or Exon 53 and who have been 
participating in a clinical trial evaluating casimersen or golodirsen will be eligible to transfer into 
this LTE study.  Patients can enroll in the LTE only after completing the original study, per 
protocol.  Every effort will be made to ensure that the patient will not experience any 
interruption in dosing of casimersen or golodirsen during the transition from the original study to 
the LTE.
Patients will continue to receive 30 mg/kg of either casimersen or golodirsen once weekly by IV 
infusion, depending upon their genotype, once weekly by IV infusion starting at Week 1 of this
study.

Discussion of Study Design
This study is designed as an open-label extension study.  The dosing and assessment endpoints 
are predicated by the original studies. 
7.5.
Data Monitoring Committee
An independent DMC will be formed to assist in the periodic monitoring of safety, data quality, 
and integrity of study conduct.  The DMC will meet approximately every 6 months throughout 
the study.  At each DMC meeting, the DMC will review the cumulative safety data and make 
1 of the following recommendations: study may proceed as planned, resume study with 
major/minor modifications (to be specified), temporarily suspend enrollment and/or dosing 
pending further DMC evaluation, or permanently discontinue the study. 
Any decision to interrupt, restart, or discontinue the study will be made by the Sponsor in 
consultation with the DMC and other parties, as appropriate.   
A DMC charter will be prepared to formalize the process for the meetings and data reviews.  The 
outcome of any DMC meeting will be communicated to the Investigators by the Sponsor or 
designee.  The relevant regulatory authorities will be promptly notified of study suspension or 
discontinuation related to safety concerns.  Any suspension or discontinuation of the study for 
any reason will be promptly reported to the relevant Institutional Review Board 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC).

TREATMENT OF PATIENTS 
9.1.
Description of Study Drug
Casimersen (Casimersen Injection) and golodirsen (Golodirsen Injection) are supplied as 
concentrated sterile solutions, which are diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride injection prior to 
administration via an IV infusion. 
Casimersen Injection and Golodirsen Injection are supplied as sterile, clear, colorless, isotonic, 
phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solutions in single-use, 2 mL glass vials each containing 2 mL 
of casimersen or golodirsen at a concentration of 50 mg/mL. The solutions are clear to slightly 
opalescent and colorless liquids that may contain white to off-white particles.
The study drug (either casimersen or golodirsen) will be administered according to the patient’s 
genotype as an IV infusion over approximately 35 minutes 
 to 60 minutes 
.
9.1.1.
Packaging and Labeling
The label text for the study drug will, at a minimum, include the following information: product 
name/identifier, cautionary statement, lot number (or alternative code), storage conditions, and 
the name of the Sponsor pursuant to regional requirements. 
Please refer to the study-specific Pharmacy Manual for information on packaging, labeling, and 
preparation instructions. 
9.1.2.
Storage 
The study drug should be kept in a temperature-controlled, light-protected area and keeping the 
vials in the foam inserts is a sufficient form of light protection.
Vials of study drug must be stored in a secured, limited access area with appropriate temperature 
recording, controls, and monitoring.   
Chemical in-use stability has been demonstrated for up to 4 hours at room temperature and for up 
to 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C.  From a microbiological point of view, the diluted drug product should 
be used immediately.  If not used immediately, in-use storage times and conditions prior to use 
are the responsibility of the user and would normally not be longer than 24 hours at 2°C to 8°C, 
unless dilution has taken place in controlled and validated aseptic conditions. 
Further details for storage can be found in the study-specific Pharmacy Manual.
9.2.
Treatment Administered
Eligible patients will receive a weekly IV infusion of casimersen or golodirsen.  The study drug 
should be prepared for dosing by following the steps detailed in the study-specific Pharmacy 
Manual.
Patients will continue to receive 30 mg/kg casimersen or golodirsen once weekly; the same dose 
as they had been receiving in the original study.

The administered dose of study drug will be calculated based on the patient’s weight.  Doses will 
be calculated based on the patient’s most recent scheduled weight measured (as defined in 
Section 2) prior to the current visit.
In the event it becomes necessary, or at the discretion of the patient or parent(s)/legal 
guardian(s), in consultation with the Investigator and consulting surgeon and following 
adequately informed and voluntary patient or parent/legal guardian permission and patient/child 
assent, a totally implantable central venous access device (ie, port) may be used, contingent upon 
any required approval by local and/or country-specific regulatory body(ies).  The use of 
alternative methods of central venous access, such as a percutaneously inserted or tunneled 
central venous catheter, are permitted as long as the patient has a documented contraindication in 
the opinion of the consulting surgeon for the placement of a totally implantable central venous 
access device.
If study treatment is administered into an existing IV line, the line must be flushed with normal 
saline (0.9% sodium chloride) before and after administration of study treatment.  No other 
medications may be administered concomitantly during the study treatment infusion. 
All treated patients will be monitored for 
 for the collection of vital signs 
following the end of each infusion of study drug (either casimersen or golodirsen). 
The following guidelines for the timing of dosing should be followed throughout the study: 
9.2.1.
Dose Interruption, Modification, Reduction, or Delay 
There is no provision for dose alteration in this study. 
If a patient experiences any situation where the dose is interrupted, delayed or otherwise 
modified, the Investigator will consult with the Medical Monitor to determine whether the 
patient may resume treatment. If dosing is interrupted for any other AEs based on the clinical 
judgment of the Investigator, the Investigator will also consult with the Medical Monitor to 
determine whether the patient may resume treatment.

ADVERSE EVENTS
11.1.
Collection of Adverse Events
Over the entire duration of the study, site personnel will ensure that all AEs are recorded 
appropriately.  If an AE occurs, the primary concern is for patient safety, and the Investigator 
will use his/her clinical judgment and expertise to determine the appropriate course of action. 
All AEs from the time of informed consent/assent through the last follow-up visit will be 
recorded in each enrolled patient’s case report form (CRF).  For patients who prematurely 
discontinue from the study (see Section 8.6), AEs will continue to be recorded until 28 days after 
the last study treatment infusion.  For patients who are found to be ineligible for the study during 
the Screening period and are not enrolled (ie, Screening failures), only SAEs (Section 11.2.2)
will be reported (Section 11.7.1).
If, at any time after the patient has completed participation in the study (see Section 8.4), the 
Investigator or study staff becomes aware of an SAE that the Investigator believes is 
possibly/probably or definitely related to the IPs (Section 11.4.1) or is possibly/probably or 
definitely related to a study procedure (Section 11.4.2), then the event and any known details 
must be reported promptly to the Sponsor. 
11.2.
Definition of Adverse Events
11.2.1.
Adverse Event 
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant, which does not 
necessarily have a causal relationship with the investigational drug.  An AE can, therefore, be 
any unfavorable and unintended symptom, sign, disease, condition, or test abnormality whether 
or not considered related to the IP. 
Adverse events include: 
Symptoms described by the patient or signs observed by the Investigator or medical 
staff.
Test abnormalities (laboratory tests, ECG, X-rays, etc.) that result in an alteration in 
medical care (diagnostic or therapeutic).
Abnormalities present at Screening are considered AEs only if they reoccur after resolution or 
worsen during the AE collection period. 
11.2.2.
Serious Adverse Event 
An SAE is defined as any AE that results in any of the following: 
Death:  The patient died as the result of the event. 
Life-threatening event:  Any AE that places the patient, in the view of the 
Investigator or Sponsor, at immediate risk of death from the AE as it occurred, 
ie, does not include an AE that had it occurred in a more severe form, might have 
caused death.
 
 
 
 


Protocol 
Study 4045-302 (Amendment 4) 
45
CONFIDENTIAL
Required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization:  The AE resulted in 
hospitalization or prolonged an existing hospitalization.  Since hospitalization may be 
part of the study, only hospitalizations that are longer than expected due to protocol 
procedures, based on Investigator judgment, will be considered prolonged 
hospitalizations.
Persistent or significant disability/incapacity:  An AE that results in persistent or 
significant disability or disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal life 
functions. 
Congenital anomaly/birth defect:  A congenital anomaly/birth defect that occurs in 
the offspring of a patient exposed to the IPs. 
Important medical events:  An AE that may not result in death, be life-threatening, 
or require hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate 
medical judgment, the event may jeopardize the patient and may require medical or 
surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.   
11.2.3.
Adverse Events of Special Interest 
Any AE (serious or nonserious) that is of scientific and medical interest specific to study 
treatment, for which ongoing and rapid communication by the Investigator to the sponsor is 
appropriate. 
The adverse events of special interest (AESIs) for this study are listed below. All AESIs should 
be reported as AEs to the sponsor within 24 hours of awareness irrespective of AE seriousness 
including the events below that are based on lab abnormalities.

CONFIDENTIAL
11.3.
Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities
Any laboratory abnormality deemed clinically significant by the Investigator should be recorded 
as an AE.  A clinically significant abnormality is an abnormality confirmed by repeat testing, 
that is changed sufficiently from Screening/Baseline so that in the judgment of the Investigator a 
change in management is warranted.  This alteration may include monitoring the laboratory test 
further, initiating other diagnostic tests or procedures, changing ongoing treatment, or 
administering new treatment.  
Whenever possible, the underlying medical diagnosis should be recorded as the AE term, rather 
than the laboratory abnormality.  Repeated additional tests and/or other evaluations required to 
establish the significance and etiology of an abnormal result should be obtained when clinically 
indicated.
11.4.
Classification of Adverse Events
Each AE whether serious or nonserious will be classified by the Investigator according to the 
following rules and definitions. 
11.4.1.
Relationship to Investigational Product 
For each AE, the Investigator will determine whether there is a reasonable likelihood that the AE 
may have been caused by the study treatment according to the categories below: 
Unrelated:
The event is clearly not related to the study treatment. 
Possibly/probably related: 
The event could be related/is likely to be related to the 
study treatment. 
Definitely related:
The event is clearly related to the study treatment.

Relationship to Study Procedures
For each AE the Investigator will determine whether there is a reasonable possibility that the AE 
may have been caused by the study procedures according to the categories below: 
Unrelated:
The event is clearly not related to the study procedures. 
Possibly/probably related: 
The event could be related/is likely to be related to study 
procedures. 
Definitely related:
The event is clearly related to the study procedures. 
11.4.3.
Relationship to Underlying Disease
For each AE the Investigator will determine whether there is a reasonable possibility that the AE 
may be related to the underlying disease according to the categories below:
Unrelated:
The event is clearly not related to the underlying disease. 
Possibly/probably related: 
The event could be related/is likely to be related to the 
underlying disease. 
Definitely related:
The event is clearly related to the underlying disease. 
Events of disease progression may be considered AEs, based on the Investigator’s discretion. 
11.4.4.
Severity of Adverse Events
Note that severity is not the same as “seriousness,” which is defined in Section 11.2.2 and which 
serves as a guide for defining regulatory reporting obligations. 
The Investigator will assess the severity of all AEs as Mild, Moderate, or Severe, based on the 
following definitions: 
Mild:
The event does not interfere with the patient’s usual activities. 
Moderate:
The event interferes with the patient’s usual activities.
Severe:
The event prevents the patient from undertaking their usual activities and 
requires therapeutic intervention or cessation of the study treatment. 
11.5.
Outcome 
Outcome describes the status of the AE.  The Investigator will provide information regarding the 
patient outcome of each AE.  Outcome categories will include recovered, recovered with 
sequelae, not recovered, fatal, and unknown.

include none, drug interrupted, drug withdrawn, and not applicable.   
11.6.1.
Expectedness of an Adverse Event
The expectedness of all AEs will be determined according to the most recent versions of the 
Investigator’s Brochures for casimersen and golodirsen. 
11.6.1.1.
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) will be handled by appropriate 
Sponsor or designee personnel and reported within the required timelines in an unblinded fashion 
to regulatory authorities and IRB/IEC per the requirements of the concerned competent 
authorities.   
11.7.
Recording Adverse Events
All AEs from the time of informed consent/assent through the last Follow-up visit will be 
recorded in each enrolled patient’s CRF.  Information should include:  a concise description of 
the event; date of event onset and resolution; determination of seriousness, severity, corrective 
treatment, outcome, and relationship to IPs or study procedure or underlying disease; and any 
action taken will be recorded.  Resolution occurs when the patient has returned to his Baseline 
state of health or further improvement or worsening of the event is not expected.   
Whenever possible, a diagnosis will be recorded as an AE, rather than symptoms or isolated 
laboratory abnormalities related to that diagnosis.  Several symptoms or laboratory results that 
are related to the same diagnosis can thus be part of the same AE.  A medical or surgical 
procedure is not an AE; rather the condition leading to the procedure should be recorded as the 
AE.  Similarly, death is not an AE, but is rather the outcome of the AE(s) that resulted in death.  
If the AE(s) leading to death are not known, then death must be reported as an AE.  All AEs will 
be followed until the resolution of AE, completion of the patient’s study participation, or study 
termination, whichever occurs first.  SAEs will be followed until resolution or until the condition 
stabilizes or returns to Baseline status.
11.7.1.
Reporting Serious Adverse Events and AESIs 
It is the responsibility of the Investigator that reporting is done adequately.  In order to meet 
reporting timelines, the study site is obligated to report any SAE(s) to the Sponsor or designee 
immediately and no later than 24 hours after receiving information of an event that meets at least 
one of the criteria for seriousness as defined in Section 11.2.2 or for AESIs as defined in 
Section 11.2.3.

Special Situations
11.8.1.
Pregnancy
If the female partner of a treated male subject becomes pregnant, the male subject must notify 
the Investigator within 24 hours of learning of the pregnancy.  The Investigator must make every 
effort to ensure that the pregnant female is aware of the need to notify her healthcare provider 
regarding her male partner’s participation in this clinical trial and his potential exposure to 
casimersen or golodirsen.   
The study site must complete a pregnancy form and send to the Sponsor or designee within 
24 hours of learning of the pregnancy.  The study site will make every effort to follow the 
pregnancy until outcome is known. 
11.8.2.
Overdose
Currently, there is no basis for determining a clinically meaningful definition of overdose for 
casimersen or golodirsen.  Therefore, as a preliminary criterion, any dose 
 above the 
assigned dose level will be considered an overdose. 
An overdose is not an AE.  An overdose will be reported even if it does not result in an AE.  An 
overdose will be recorded on the appropriate form and sent to the Sponsor or designee within 
24 hours. 
11.8.3.
Death
Death is an outcome of an event.  All causes of death are SAEs.  In the event of death, every 
effort should be made to obtain a death certificate and if possible, an autopsy report.  If the cause 
of death is unknown, death will be recorded as the event. 
11.9.
Responsibilities of the Investigator
The responsibilities of the Investigator include but are not limited to the following: 
Monitor and record all AEs 
Determine seriousness, severity, and relationship to IPs and/or study procedure and/or 
underlying disease 
Determination of the onset and end date of each event 
Provide initial report on all SAEs within 24 hours of first knowledge to the Sponsor 
or designee 
Provide follow-up information on SAEs in a timely and proactive manner 
Respond to queries regarding AEs and SAEs in a timely manner 
Ensure source documentation for all AEs are accurate and complete
Ensure that the study is conducted as defined in this document 
Investigators may also report improvement of pre-existing DMD conditions or unexpected 
therapeutic responses.

DATA COLLECTION, QUALITY ASSURANCE, AND 
MANAGEMENT
12.1.
Recording of Data
Clinical data for this study will be captured in an electronic format.  Electronic data capture will 
be provided by a contract research organization.  The Investigator, or personnel delegated by the 
Investigator, will perform primary data collection/perform assessments based on the protocol 
design and captured in source documentation.  All required study information must be recorded 
on the appropriate CRF screens/forms using the CRF Help Text.  A CRF must be completed for 
each patient that is enrolled.  The study monitor will conduct 100% source data verification to 
ensure maximum data integrity.  All data must be carefully entered in a timely fashion to permit 
meaningful interpretation and study oversight. 
12.2.
Quality Assurance
The CRFs will be reviewed at regular intervals by a clinical monitor from the Sponsor or a 
representative of the Sponsor per the agreed upon Monitoring Plan against the source 
documentation for identification and clarification of any discrepancies.  Automated and manual 
quality checks will be in place to identify discrepancies, such as missing data, protocol 
deviations, out-of-range data, other data inconsistencies and compliance.  Requests for data 
clarification or correction will be documented as electronic queries within the CRF and for the 
Investigator or study coordinator to resolve.  All changes to the CRFs will be tracked in an 
electronic audit trail.  Investigator Site Files (ISF) will be reviewed for compliance throughout 
the study. 
Audits may be carried out by the Sponsor’s representatives, and inspections may be performed 
by IRBs/IECs or regulatory authorities before, during, or after the study.  The Investigator will 
allow and assist the Sponsor’s representatives and any regulatory agency to have direct access to 
all study records, CRFs, patient medical records and other source documentation, IPs dispensing 
records and IPs storage area, study facilities, and any other source documentation.  
The Investigator must make study files and data accessible to the study monitor, to other 
authorized representatives of the Sponsor, and to the appropriate regulatory authority inspectors. 
12.3.
Retention of Study Documents
At study completion, all CRF data for an individual site will be copied onto a compact disc and 
provided to the Investigator for retention in the ISF.  The supporting site study files must be 
retained by the Investigator for a period of 3 years after the investigation is discontinued and 
regulatory authorities are notified. 
However, these documents must be retained for a longer period if required by the applicable 
regulatory requirements or by an agreement with the Sponsor.  No study documents will be 
destroyed or moved to a new location without prior written approval from the Sponsor.  If the 
Investigator relocates, retires, or withdraws from the clinical study for any reason, all records 
that are required to be maintained for the study are to be transferred to an agreed-upon designee. 
Patient records or other source data must be kept for the maximum period of time mandated by 
the hospital, institution, or private practice, but not less than 
 years.

Regulations (21 CFR 56). 
14.1.
Institutional and Ethics Review
Before enrollment of patients into the study, the protocol and informed consent, assent, and 
parental informed consent (for parents/legal guardians) documents will be reviewed and 
approved by the appropriate IRB/IEC and regulatory authority.  Amendments to the protocol will 
be subjected to the same IRB/IEC and regulatory authority review requirements as the original 
protocol.  The Investigator will promptly notify the IRB/IEC and Sponsor of any SAEs or of any 
other information that might affect the safe use of the study drug during the study.  The IRB 
approvals/IEC positive opinions and regulatory authorities’ approvals must be sent to the 
Sponsor, or its designee, before initiation of the study or before an amendment is instituted.  All 
correspondence with the IRB/IEC and the regulatory authority must be retained within the study 
regulatory files. 
14.2.
Written Informed Consent
Written informed consent and assent, if applicable, from each patient and/or parent/legal 
guardian must be obtained before any study-specific evaluations are performed.  A copy of the 
signed informed consent and assent, if applicable, form will be given to the patient and/or 
parent/legal guardian; the Investigator will retain the original copies of these documents. 
The informed consent/assent documents, as prepared by the Sponsor or designee, must be 
reviewed and approved by the IRB/IEC and regulatory authorities, as applicable, before initiation
of the study.  The informed consent document must contain the basic required elements of 
consent and additional elements, as applicable, as specified in 21 CFR 50.25 and ICH GCP E6 
(R2) and local requirements, as applicable. 
14.3.
Compliance with the Protocol
All processes and procedures defined in this protocol must be adhered to.  Emergency departures 
from the protocol that eliminate an apparent immediate hazard to a particular patient and that are 
deemed by the Investigator as crucial for the safety and well-being of that patient may be 
instituted for that patient only and documented as deviations.  The Investigator will contact the 
Medical Monitor as soon as possible regarding such a deviation.  These departures do not require 
preapproval by the IRB/IEC; however, the IRB/IEC and Medical Monitor must be notified in 
writing as soon as possible in accordance with the IRB/IEC policies after the departure has been 
made.
