Clinical Study 
progress 
Patients will be enrolled sequentially. The decision to dose escalate will be determined 
with the DSMC upon review of adverse events (AE), clinical evaluations (ocular and 
systemic) and laboratory results. 
Monitoring of safety 
and tolerability 
Safety monitoring will include a combination of AE reporting, clinical evaluations 
(ocular and systemic), and laboratory results. 
Ocular and systemic safety monitoring will include monitoring for signs of an immune 
response.  
Enrollment Stopping 
rules 
Any Grade 3 (Common Terminology Criteria [CTC] for AEs v4.03) or greater AE 
considered related to the study treatment. 
Primary endpoints: 
Assessment of safety 
The primary endpoint is safety at 6 months from start of study treatment. 
The therapy will be considered safe in the absence of any grade 3 or greater AE 
considered related to RST-001. 
Secondary endpoints 
The effect of intravitreal injection of RST-001 in improving visual function as 
measured by a series of psychophysical, electrophysiological and anatomical 
measures. 
Analysis plan 
The sample size for this study was chosen empirically; no formal sample size 
computations to meet power requirements were made. The sample size of 
approximately 3 patients for each dose group in Phase 1 are typical for dose escalation 
studies, an additional up to approximately 12 patients will be enrolled in Phase 2a for 
further safety and efficacy evaluation. 
Summary tables and listings of data will be provided per Statistical Analysis Plan. All 
summaries of categorical data will present frequencies and percentages. All summaries 
of continuous data will present the number of non-missing values, mean, standard 
deviation, minimum, median and maximum.

Photoreceptors and other neuronal cells of the retina have little or no replicative function and cell 
loss results therefore in progressive deficit. 
3.1.5 
Treatment 
Currently, there is no approved drug treatment for RP. Supplemental doses of Vitamin A may 
reduce the rate of degeneration in certain individuals but the effects are insubstantial 
(Rayapudi et al., 2013). The Argus II retinal prosthesis (an opto-electronic implant developed by 
Second Sight Medical Products Inc., Sylmar, CA) has been approved by the FDA, on a 
humanitarian basis, for those most severely affected by RP (Dorn et al., 2013).  
3.2 
Adeno-Associated Virus 
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a parvovirus with a single-stranded DNA genome 
(Muzyczka N, Berns KI, 2001). It requires a helper virus to complete its replication cycle in 
culture and in humans (Blacklow NR, Hoggan MD, 1967). AAV does not appear to integrate in 
humans (Schnepp BC, et al 2005) and has not been associated with human disease (Flotte TR, 
Carter BJ, 1995).  
3.3 
Recombinant AAV Vectors 
Recombinant AAV (rAAV) vectors are composed of a transgene expression cassette between 
inverted terminal repeats (ITRs), which guide packaging of vector DNA into AAV capsids. rAAV 
vectors are non-toxic, highly efficient at transducing a wide variety of non-dividing cell types, 
and persist for long periods potentially leading to long-term expression of the transgene (Carter 
PJ, Samulski RJ 2000).  
3.4 
Human Clinical Experience with AAV2 Vectors 
AAV2 is currently being used as the vector of choice in multiple clinical studies around the 
world setting a precedent as a safe delivery system for gene therapy. Specifically, AAV2 has been 
used as a vector in clinical studies within the United States since 2004. To date there are no 
approved products utilizing AAV2 but there are a number of clinical studies that either have been 
completed or are ongoing worldwide, some of which are in the area of ophthalmology, including 
indications like neovascular age-related macular degeneration, Leber Congenital Amaurosis 
(LCA), and choroideremia.

Nonclinical Studies with RST-001 
3.6.1 
Pharmacology Studies 
Two studies were conducted in mice, collectively covering a 10-fold range of dose exposure 
from the lowest (
) to the highest dose (
). The objective of these 
studies was to test the behavioral efficacy of a single-1 µL intravitreal injection in both eyes of 
RST-001 (dosing solutions 
): 
(Low); 
(Mid); 
 (High)) on visual 
function in C3H/HeJ-Pde6brd1 mice (
; hereafter “C3H”). These mice are 
homozygous for the retinal degeneration 1 mutation (Pde6brd1), which causes blindness by 
weaning age. The sighted control mice were C3Sn.BLiA-Pde6b+/DnJ (
; 
hereafter “C3Sn”). Behavioral assessments were done prior to AAV2-ChR2 (RST-001) (when 
mice are ~ 8 weeks old; hereafter “Baseline”), again starting at P120 (hereafter “Test 1”), and 
finally at 6 months post injection (hereafter “Test 2”). Viral injections were done around 9 weeks 
old.  
There were no injection-related complications and no animals died during the perioperative time 
period. At the two-month time point, there was evidence of improved visual function in rd1 mice 
treated with RST-001 at all doses (
) 
evaluated as compared with vehicle injected mice, based upon optokinetic responses. The highest 
dose (
) also showed efficacy for visual placement responses. These effects were 
investigated in the high dose at 6 months post injection, but were not reproduced. However, 
electrophysiological measures appear to have verified ChR2-driven light responses at the 
ganglion cell layer 10 months post injection. 
Non-GLP safety observations were also conducted in conjunction with this pharmacology study.  
RST-001 produced no signs of test article related effects on body weights, food consumption, 
clinical observations or during ophthalmic examinations. There were no gross lesions at terminal 
necropsy related to the test article treatment. Histological evaluations were conducted for 
animals in the control and highest dose group. No test item-related microscopic findings were

noted in the tissues examined (brain, epididymis, eye, heart, kidney, liver, lung, mandibular and 
mesenteric lymph nodes, optic nerve, parotid salivary gland, spleen and testis). 
3.6.2 
Toxicology and Biodistribution Studies 
Two nonclinical GLP toxicology and biodistribution studies have been completed in two species, 
beagle dogs and mice. The objectives of both studies were to determine the potential ocular 
toxicity of RST-001 when given by a single intravitreal injection and to evaluate the potential 
reversibility of any findings within 99 days of treatment.  
The following parameters and end points were evaluated: clinical signs, body weights, food 
consumption, ophthalmology, clinical pathology parameters 
 
 
, gross necropsy findings, organ weights, and histopathologic examinations, and 
biodistribution.

3.6.2.2 
Mice Study 
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of the test article, RST-001, when given as 
a single 1 µL intravitreal injection in the right eye to C3H/HeJ-Pde6brd1 mice.   
Mice historically have been used in safety evaluation studies and this particular strain is a disease 
model for advanced RP, the indication of RST-001.  
There were 64 mice per dose group and 4 dose groups. Actual doses verified were: vehicle 
(control); 
(Low), 
 (Mid), and 
(High) vg/eye of RST-001.  After 
dosing, animals were observed post dose for at least 29 (interim sacrifice) or 89 days (terminal 
sacrifice). There were 16 animals/sex/group at each terminal sacrifice. 
There are no signs of test article related effects on body weights, food consumption, and clinical 
observations or during ophthalmic examinations through Week 4 of the dosing phase. There were 
no gross lesions at any of the terminal necropsy intervals that appear to be related to the test 
article treatment.  There were no signs of overt tissue damage due to direct toxicity of the test 
item and no cellular immune or humoral response to RST-001 was detected at any dose level. 
RST-001 was present at the highest level in the right eye and optic nerve of all animals tested. 
RST-001 was also detected just above the minimum level of detection

within the hindbrain and spleen. Dose-dependent minimal to moderate ChR2 immunolabeling 
occurred in the right treated eye of animals given 
; minimal ChR2 
immunolabeling was also present in the right optic nerve of some animals with ChR2 
immunolabeling in the right eye. 
In conclusion, administration of RST-001 by a single intravitreal injection at a 10-fold difference 
in nominal doses resulted in no dose-related effects. RST-001 had minimum biodistribution 
systemically and was expressed in the retina. 
3.6.3 
Justification for Human Dose 
The doses and injection volume have been calculated by allometric scaling from pre-clinical 
animal studies.  Vitreous humor volume was the scaling factor across species. In general, scaling 
of the vitreous volume from mice and dogs to humans is 1:100 and 1:2, respectively.  Two 
nonclinical toxicology studies were conducted in the dog and mouse. The safe intravitreal doses 
in the dog ranged from 
. For the mouse, the safe intravitreal doses 
ranged from 
.  Two nonclinical pharmacology studies demonstrated 
efficacy and safety in the mouse at a dose range of 
 in a dose range 
comparable to the toxicology study. Based on these studies, the expected safe dose range in 
humans is between 
 and 
. The dose range in this study (
to 
 of RST-001) is based on the more conservative exposure in the dog, inclusion of 
potentially efficacious doses, the ability of the manufacturer to concentrate investigational 
product, and a safe injection volume of 
 per eye in humans.  
3.7 
RST-001 Study Rationale: Optogenetic Therapy for Advanced 
Retinitis Pigmentosa 
RST-001 is a gene therapeutic treatment that renders cells in the retina sensitive to light. This 
light sensitivity is conveyed to the brain and is a photoreceptor substitute in conditions such as 
advanced RP where the normal light sensitive cells are lost. 
The disease of advanced RP results in the irreversible loss of photoreceptors, which are the only 
cells in the retina that are able to convert the light entering the eye into an electrical signal that 
can be relayed to the brain and interpreted as vision. Although these cells degenerate, many of 
the other neuronal cell types that receive input from the photoreceptors persist. In particular, the 
innermost retinal cells, the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) survive in significant numbers late into 
the disease and axons from these cells remain connected directly to the brain.  
Direct electrical stimulation of the RGCs using surgically-implanted electronic devices have 
provided a proof of concept that vision can be mediated through these cells.

RST-001 delivers a gene encoding a photo switch, channelrhodopsin-2, to the RGCs. When 
expressed, the channelrhodopsin-2 protein can depolarize in response to light thus generating a 
signal that is transmitted to the brain. The components of RST-001 are shown in detail above. 
The study is composed of two phases. An initial dose-escalation study (Phase 1) is proposed 
whereby three dose levels of RST-001 will be studied in three separate groups of adult patients 
with advanced disease. Phase 1 is aimed at determining a single dose of the experimental 
treatment which is safe and well tolerated, to further evaluate in a fourth group of patients. If the 
Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) considers the safety and tolerability of RST-001 
satisfactory in the first phase, then the study may proceed to Phase 2a. Phase 2a is aimed at 
obtaining additional safety data at the maximum tolerated dose. An additional objective of Phase 
2a is to provide important additional clinical data to guide the design of future efficacy studies. 
3.7.1 
Immunogenicity of RST-001 
Preclinical data indicated that no cellular or humoral immune response to RST-001 was detected 
at doses up to 
 in mice and dogs, respectively. In this study, 
evidence of an immune response to the product will be carefully assessed by monitoring for 
systemic measurement of humoral and cellular immunity. Local or systemic immune suppression 
may be initiated if clinically indicated. 
3.8 
Treatment Administration 
RST-001 will be administered by intravitreal injection as specified in the Study Procedures 
Manual. The injection volume is 
.  
Prior to study treatment administration, the study eye of each patient will be prepared using a 
standard protocol as described in the Study Procedures Manual.

Objectives of the Study 
3.9.1 
Primary Objective: 
To evaluate the safety of a single intravitreal injection of RST-001. 
3.9.2 
Secondary Objectives: 
1. To establish the maximum tolerated dose of RST-001. 
2. To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of RST-001 in patients with advanced RP.

Study conduct and GCP Compliance Statement 
This study will be conducted in compliance with the protocol approved by the Institutional 
Review Board (IRB), and according to Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards.  No deviation 
from the protocol will be implemented without the prior review and approval of the IRB except 
where it may be necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to a research patient.  In such case, 
the deviation will be reported to the IRB as soon as possible. 
3.11 
Risks and Benefits 
3.11.1 
Potential Risks 
The risks associated with this study can be divided into those related to the intravitreal injection 
of RST-001, the RST-001 treatment and study procedures. 
3.11.1.1 
Intravitreal Injection 
These risks are well recognized and include transient conjunctival hyperemia and hemorrhage at 
the injection site. Serious complications such as retinal tears/holes, retinal detachment, vitreous 
hemorrhage and endophthalmitis are uncommon or rare but may result in reduced vision and 
may require surgical intervention. 
3.11.1.2 
RST-001 Treatment 
The risks of intravitreally-administered RST-001 are not known. Potential risks include an 
immune response, which may result in ocular inflammation and the associated consequences. 
3.11.1.3 
Study Procedures 
The risk from the tests performed in this study carry minimal risks and mostly relate to the need 
for pupillary dilation, which typically results in temporary blurred vision and increased light 
sensitivity. On occasion, a corneal abrasion can result from the use of the 
3.12 
Protection from Risks 
The RST-001 drug product has been manufactured in compliance with current Good 
Manufacturing Practice (cGMP). Extensive testing has been performed to ensure infective agents 
and pathogens are not present. 
Intravitreal injection of RST-001 will be performed in the operating room under aseptic 
conditions by qualified staff in accordance with the Study Procedures Manual.

Protocol RST-001-CP-0001 Amendment 2
 
21 
After the procedure, each patient will be carefully monitored for complications. Evidence of an 
immune response to RST-001 will be monitored (refer to Section 6.2.1). 
The conduct of this study will be overseen by the DSMC.  
3.13 
Provisions for Injury 
Any complications arising post injection will be managed in accordance with the investigator’s 
standard of care. 
It is not possible for RST-001 to be removed from the eye after injection.  
3.14 
Potential Benefits 
Patients may not benefit directly from the study. It is theoretical at this time as to whether any 
visual benefit will be afforded by RST-001. The primary objective of this particular study is to 
establish safety of RST-001.  
3.14.1 
Risk Benefit Analysis 
Since RST-001 has not yet been shown, in humans, to be efficacious, investigators and patients 
will need to weigh carefully the risks shown above with the theoretical possibility of improved or 
preserved visual function. 
3.15 
Study Overview 
3.15.1 
 Study Design 
This is an open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RST-001 
administered as a single intravitreal injection in patients with advanced RP.  
3.15.1.1 
Enrollment Phase 1 
Three groups of patients (A, B, C, each comprising of approximately but no less than three 
patients) will be enrolled in this study.  
Approximately 3 patients in Group A will receive the lowest dose of RST-001 (LOW). The safety 
and tolerability of RST-001 will be assessed in the first patient for a minimum of one month (to 
include Month 1 Visit). If the DSMC considers the safety and tolerability of the first patient 
satisfactory and the enrollment stopping rules have not been met, then the remaining patients in 
Group A can be enrolled and receive treatment.

Protocol RST-001-CP-0001 Amendment 2
 
22 
If the DSMC considers the safety and tolerability of Group A satisfactory and the enrollment 
stopping rules have not been met after a minimum assessment of one month (to include Month 1 
Visit) from the last treatment group, then approximately 3 patients in Group B may be enrolled 
and receive a higher dose of RST-001 (MID) following the same guidelines and treatment 
schedule.  
Similarly, if the DSMC considers the safety and tolerability of Group B satisfactory and the 
enrollment stopping rules have not been met after a minimum assessment of one month (to 
include Month 1 Visit) from the last treatment group, then approximately 3 patients in Group C 
may be enrolled and receive the highest dose of RST-001 (HIGH) following the same guidelines 
and treatment schedule. 
After completion of the 2-year core study visits, each patient will be enrolled in a long-term 
follow-up for an additional 13 years to monitor the long-term safety of RST-001. 
3.15.1.2 
Enrollment Phase 2a  
If the DSMC considers the safety and tolerability satisfactory and the enrollment stopping rules 
have not been met after a minimum assessment of one month (to include Month 1 Visit) from 
treatment of the final patient in Groups A, B, or C, then the sponsor may elect to start enrollment 
in the second cohort of patients.  In Phase 2a, up to approximately 12 patients may be enrolled 
and receive RST-001 at the maximum tolerated dose. 
• If the DSMC considers the data from Phase 1, in their opinion, to be indicative of a 
treatment benefit for visual acuity/function, then approximately 6 patients will be 
enrolled in Phase 2a and follow the same eligibility criteria as Phase 1. 
• If the DSMC considers the data from Phase 1, in their opinion, to not be indicative of a 
treatment benefit, then approximately 12 patients will be enrolled in Phase 2a. 
o 6 patients must have VA of no-better-than hand motion in the study eye. 
o 6 patients must have VA in the study eye to range from no-worse-than count 
fingers to 20/200 vision.

When possible, the decision to withdraw a patient from study treatment or the study should be 
discussed with the sponsor. Notification of early patient discontinuation from the study and the 
reason for discontinuation will be clearly documented on the appropriate Case Report Form 
(CRF). 
In the case of a withdrawing patient, every reasonable attempt will be made to complete a final 
early termination visit (as shown in the study visit table). Patients who withdraw from the study 
prior to receiving the study treatment may be replaced.

injection. In order to be safe and conservative but also balanced with the potential for delivering 
an active dose, Allergan proposes that the LOW initial starting dose for the first-in-human study 
be 
 of this dose, 
. The MID dose will be 
 of the HIGH dose, 
 
 
Dose escalation will proceed according to Table 1, only after review by the DSMC (see Figure 1, 
above). Three doses have been chosen with the safety as the priority but will provide a good 
opportunity to observe biological effect. 
The rationale for the dosing schedule is once again based primarily on patient safety. Thus, at 
each dose a single patient will receive treatment followed by an intensive period of observation 
for any evidence of AEs prior to dosing the remaining two patients in the group. The safety and 
tolerability and optimal single dose of RST-001 will therefore be established in Phase 1. Phase 2a 
patients will receive a single intravitreal injection of RST-001 at the maximum dose tolerated by 
Phase 1 patients. 
4.5 
Patient and Investigator Masking 
This is an open-label study so that patients and investigators will know which eye is treated and 
what dose of RST-001 was given. 
4.6 
Packaging and Labeling 
Correct product identity, labeling and patient specificity will be assured by the use of standard 
operating procedures in accordance with FDA regulations. These operating procedures will 
include identifiers to ensure correct labeling to identity study treatment throughout manufacture, 
handling and administration.

Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be considered eligible for study entry and will receive a 
single intravitreal injection of RST-001. Following RST-001 administration (Day 0) patients will 
be assessed on the first post injection day (Day 1). 
The visit schedule includes: 
• Core study visits: Twelve visits are planned over 24 months, including Screening and 
Baseline visits, Day 0, Day 1, Day 7, and Months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24. 
• Long-term follow-up: After completion of the Month 24 visit, each patient will 
participate in a long-term follow-up study for a total of an additional 13 years. These 
visits include yearly office visits for 5 years (Months 36, 48, 60, 72, and 84) and yearly 
teleconference interviews for 8 years (Months 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, and 180). 
Core study visits are described in Table 2 and long-term follow-up visits are described in Table 3.

5.1 
Schedule of Procedures by Visit 
Please refer to Table 2 and Table 3 for a schematic of the schedule of visits and procedures. 
5.1.1 
Informed Consent and Patient Privacy 
The study will be discussed with the patient and patient’s impartial witness or legally acceptable 
representative. A patient wishing to participate must give informed consent and authorization 
prior to any study-related procedures. The patient must also give authorization (U.S. only) and 
other written documentation in accordance with the relevant country and local privacy 
requirements (where applicable) prior to any study-related procedures or change in treatment. 
Each patient that provides informed consent and assent will be assigned a patient number that 
will be used on patient documentation throughout the study. 
5.1.2 
Screening Visit  
Prospective patients will be screened for eligibility up to 45 days prior to enrollment and the 
procedures will be performed as specified below. If convenient, the Screening and Baseline visits 
may be combined. 
It is the investigator’s responsibility to review the results of all laboratory tests as they become 
available. This review will be documented by the investigator’s dated signature on the laboratory 
report. For each abnormal laboratory test result in which the value of the test lies outside the 
normal range (see Appendix 2 for reference values), the investigator needs to ascertain if this is 
an abnormal (ie, clinically significant) result for the individual subject. The investigator may 
repeat the laboratory test or request additional tests to verify the results of the original laboratory 
tests. If the laboratory value is determined by the investigator to be clinically significantly 
abnormal for that subject, the subject will be excluded from the study.

Description of Study Procedures 
5.2.1 
Informed Consent 
During the Screening visit, prospective patients will be invited to provide written informed 
consent prior to any screening evaluations. An investigator or study coordinator will provide a 
full explanation of the study, including potential risks of participation and that they may 
withdraw from the study at any time and for any reason without jeopardizing their future 
treatment, and an investigator will provide answers to all questions raised by the prospective 
patient. For those with low vision, a verbal consent will be read out. After ensuring that all 
questions have been answered, written documentation of the informed consent decision will be 
obtained and the consent form will be countersigned by a witness to indicate informed consent 
was obtained.  
No study-related procedures will be performed until after informed consent/assent is obtained.  
5.2.2 
Medical History (Review)  
These will comprise: 
• Documentation of presenting complaints, and history thereof 
• Ocular medical and surgical history 
• General medical and surgical history

Ocular Inflammation 
Owing to the potential for intraocular inflammation (as noted in the preclinical dog study) or 
immunogenicity, signs of ocular inflammation will be carefully monitored throughout the study 
and reported to the DSMC.  Active inflammation of the anterior chamber, vitreous and 
retina/choroid will be documented in the case report forms according to recognized international 
criteria shown in Table 4, below.  Additional investigations, 
 
 may be performed at the discretion of the investigator according to clinical findings 
and accepted standards of care.

Progression of treatment indication including new or worsening of anticipated clinical signs or 
symptoms, which are collected as clinical efficacy variables and assessed as unequivocally 
associated with the disease progression and/or lack of efficacy, should NOT be reported as 
adverse events unless the disease progression is greater than anticipated in the natural course of 
the disease. 
Adverse events will be assessed, documented, and recorded in the CRF throughout the study (ie, 
after informed consent has been obtained).  At each visit, the investigator will begin by querying 
for adverse events by asking each patient a general, non-directed question such as “How have 
you been feeling since the last visit?”  Directed questioning and examination will then be done as 
appropriate.  All reported adverse events will be documented on the appropriate CRF.   
8.1.2 
Serious Adverse Event 
A serious adverse event is any adverse event occurring at any dose that results in any of the 
following outcomes:  death, congenital anomaly or birth defect, significant disability, 
hospitalization, or life threatening.  Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-
threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered a serious adverse event when, based 
upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or patient and may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.  
Allergan considers all cancer adverse events as serious adverse events.  In addition, Allergan 
considers any abortion (spontaneous or nonspontaneous) as a serious adverse event. 
Preplanned surgeries or procedures for pre-existing, known medical conditions for which a 
patient requires hospitalization is not reportable as a serious adverse event. 
Any preplanned surgery or procedure should be clearly documented in the site source documents 
by the medically qualified investigator at the time of the patient’s entry into the study.  If it has 
not been documented at the time of the patient’s entry into the study, then it should be 
documented as a serious adverse event and reported to Allergan.

8.1.3 
Severity 
A clinical determination will be made of the intensity of an adverse event.  The severity 
assessment for a clinical adverse event must be completed using the following definitions as 
guidelines: 
Mild 
Awareness of sign or symptom, but easily tolerated. 
Moderate 
Discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity. 
Severe 
Incapacitating with inability to work or do usual activity. 
8.1.4 
Relationship to Study Drug or Study Procedure 
A determination will be made of the relationship (if any) between an adverse event and the study 
drug or study procedure, as applicable.  A causal relationship is present if a determination is 
made that there is a reasonable possibility that the adverse event may have been caused by the 
drug or study procedure. 
A study procedure occurring during the screening/baseline period can include a study required 
diagnostic procedure. 
For treatment-related adverse events, the investigator will note on the CRF whether the event is 
related to the study drug, and/or the injection procedure. 
8.2 
Procedures for Reporting Adverse Events 
Any adverse event must be recorded on the appropriate CRF. 
All adverse events that are drug-related and unexpected (not listed as treatment-related in the 
current Investigator's Brochure) must be reported to the governing IRB as required by the IRB, 
local regulations, and the governing health authorities.  Any adverse event that is marked 
“ongoing” at the exit visit must be followed-up as appropriate. 
8.3 
Procedures for Reporting a Serious Adverse Event 
Any serious adverse event occurring during the study period (beginning with informed consent) 
and for at least 28 days after study exit must be immediately reported but no later than 24 hours 
after learning of a serious adverse event.  Serious adverse events must be reported to Allergan (or 
Agent of Allergan) as listed on the Allergan Study Contacts Sheet and recorded on the serious 
adverse event form.  All patients with a serious adverse event must be followed up and the

Statistical Analysis Plans 
Summary tables and listings of data will be provided per Statistical Analysis Plan. All summaries 
of categorical data will present frequencies and percentages. All summaries of continuous data 
will present the number of non-missing values, mean, standard deviation, minimum, median and 
maximum. 
11.3.1 
Power and Sample Size Considerations  
The sample size for this study was chosen empirically; no formal sample size computations to 
meet power requirements were made. The sample size of approximately 3 patients for each dose 
group in Phase 1 are typical for dose escalation studies, an additional up to approximately12 
patients will be enrolled in Phase 2a for further safety and efficacy evaluation.

• Independent review 
• Informed consent 
• Respect for potential and enrolled patients 
Social and clinical value 
Every research study is designed to answer a specific question. Answering certain questions will 
have significant value for society or for present or future patients with a particular illness. An 
answer to the research question should be important or valuable enough to justify asking people 
to accept some risk or inconvenience for others. In other words, answers to the research question 
should contribute to scientific understanding of health or improve our ways of preventing, 
treating, or caring for people with a given disease. Only if society will gain useful knowledge — 
which requires sharing results, both negative and positive — can exposing human patients to the 
risk and burden of research be justified. 
Scientific validity 
A study should be designed in a way that will get an understandable answer to the valuable 
research question. This includes considering whether the question researchers are asking is 
answerable, whether the research methods are valid and feasible, and whether the study is 
designed with a clear scientific objective and using accepted principles, methods, and reliable 
practices. It is also important that statistical plans be of sufficient power to definitively test the 
objective, for example, and for data analysis. Invalid research is unethical because it is a waste of 
resources and exposes people to risk for no purpose. 
Fair patient selection 
Who does the study need to include, to answer the question it is asking? The primary basis for 
recruiting and enrolling groups and individuals should be the scientific goals of the study — not 
vulnerability, privilege, or other factors unrelated to the purposes of the study. Consistent with 
the scientific purpose, people should be chosen in a way that minimizes risks and enhances 
benefits to individuals and society. Groups and individuals who accept the risks and burdens of 
research should be in a position to enjoy its benefits, and those who may benefit should share 
some of the risks and burdens. Specific groups or individuals (for example, women or children) 
should not be excluded from the opportunity to participate in research without a good scientific 
reason or a particular susceptibility to risk. 
Favorable risk-benefit ratio 
Uncertainty about the degree of risks and benefits associated with a drug, device, or procedure 
being tested is inherent in clinical research — otherwise there would be little point to doing the 
research. And by definition, there is more uncertainty about risks and benefits in early-phase

treatment group separately for each phase. The total number of patients screened will be 
summarized. 
Screen-failure patients (i.e., patients screened but not enrolled) and the associated reasons 
for fail to enroll will be tabulated for the all screened patients. The number and 
percentage of patients who complete each study phase (Phase 1 or 2a) and patients who 
prematurely discontinue during the same period will be presented for each treatment 
group and pooled across treatment groups separately for each phase. The reasons for 
premature discontinuation from the corresponding study phases will be summarized 
(number and percentage) by treatment group separately for each phase. All patients who

DEMOGRAPHICS AND OTHER BASELINE CHARACTERISTICS 
Demographic parameters (age; age group; race; ethnicity; sex), baseline characteristics 
(weight; height; and body mass index, calculated as weight [kg]/(height [m])2) will be 
summarized descriptively by treatment group separately for each phase.  
The number and percentage of patients with medical histories in each system organ class 
and preferred term will be summarized by treatment group separately for each phase. In 
addition, ocular medical history will be summarized for the study eye by treatment group 
separately for each phase.  
 
Concurrent procedure is defined as any procedure performed on or after the date of the 
first dose of study treatment. The number and percentage of patients with concomitant 
procedures in each system organ class and preferred term will be summarized by 
treatment group separately for each phase. In addition, ocular medical history will be 
summarized for the study eye by treatment group separately for each phase.  
 
Medical histories and concomitant procedures will be coded using the MedDRA, version 
21.0 or newer. 
 
Prior medication is defined as any medication taken before the date of the first dose of 
study treatment. Concomitant medication is defined as any medication taken on or after 
the date of the first dose of study treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) 
Drug Dictionary Enhanced will be used to classify prior and concomitant medications by 
therapeutic class and drug name. 
The number and percentage of patients with prior medications will be summarized under 
each drug class and drug name by treatment group separately for each phase. A separate 
summary for prior ocular medications used in the study eye under each drug name by 
treatment group separately for each phase. If a patient took a specific medication multiple 
times or took multiple medications within a specific therapeutic class, that patient would 
be counted only once for the coded drug name or therapeutic class. Formulations 
(including salts, esters, etc.) containing the same active ingredient will be pooled under 
the coded drug name of the base compound. Medications containing multiple active 
ingredients of different coded drug names will be reviewed during the course of the study 
and may be pooled under a single coded drug name for analyses. 
Similarly, the number and percentage of patients with concomitant medications will be 
summarized under each drug class and drug name by treatment group separately for each 
phase separately for Core Study Visits and Long-term Follow-up Visits. A separate 
summary for concomitant ocular medications used by eye (study eye and fellow eye) 
under each drug name by treatment group separately for each phase separately for Core 
Study Visits and Long-term Follow-up Visits.

SAFETY ANALYSES 
Safety assessments in this study are divided into measures of ocular safety and measures 
of systemic safety (Protocol Section 6.1). The safety parameters will include adverse 
events (AEs), ocular measurements, clinical laboratory tests including immunogenicity 
tests, vital signs, and 
. For each safety parameter, the last non-missing 
assessment before the first dose of study treatment will be used as the baseline for all 
analyses. 
11.1 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA, version 21.0 or newer. 
An AE will be considered a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) if it was present 
after the first dose of study treatment or was present before the date of the first dose of 
study treatment and increased in severity after the first dose of study treatment. If more 
than 1 AE was reported before the first dose of study treatment and coded to the same 
preferred term, the AE with the greatest severity will be used for comparison with the 
AEs occurring during the reporting periods.  
The number and percent of patients reporting TEAEs will be tabulated by treatment 
group in each phase separately during Core Study Visits and Long-term Follow-up Visits 
for the following categories:   
• All TEAEs 
• Treatment related TEAEs 
• Ocular TEAEs in the study eye 
• Non-ocular TEAEs 
• Treatment-related ocular TEAEs 
• Serious TEAEs 
• Deaths 
• AEs leading to study discontinuation 
The above categories will also be tabulated by SOC and PT, or by PT only for ocular 
related categories, with the number and percentage of patients by treatment group in each 
phase and separately during Core Study Visits and Long-term Follow-up Visits, except 
for the last 3 categories. 


Allergan 
 
 
Statistical Analysis Plan RST-001-CP-0001  
RST-001 (AGN-151597)

In addition, the number and percent of patients will be tabulated by SOC, PT, and 
severity, or by PT and severity only for ocular related categories, with the number and 
percentage of patients by treatment group in each phase and separately during Core Study 
Visits and Long-term Follow-up Visits for the following categories:  
• All TEAEs 
• Treatment related TEAEs 
• Ocular TEAEs in the study eye 
• Non-ocular TEAEs 
• Treatment-related ocular TEAEs 
If more than 1 AE is coded to the same PT for the same patient, the patient will be 
counted only once for that PT using the greatest severity and strictest causality for the 
summarization by severity and causal relationship. 
Separate tabular displays will be presented for patients who died, patients with SAEs, and 
patients with AEs leading to premature discontinuation.

PRIMARY OCULAR SAFETY MEASUREMENTS 
The following visual function measures at 6 months are considered primary safety 
endpoints. They will be listed and summarized by treatment group separately in each 
phase.

Vital sign values will be considered PCS if they meet both the observed-value criteria and 
the change-from-baseline criteria listed in Table 11.7–1. The number and percentage of 
patients with PCS Post-treatment values will be tabulated by treatment group separately 
for each phase. The percentages will be calculated relative to the number of patients with 
available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 Post-treatment assessment. The 
numerator will be the total number of patients with available baseline values and at least 
1 PCS Post-treatment value. A supportive tabular display of patients with PCS Post-
treatment values will be provided, including the participant ID number, baseline and all 
Post-treatment (including non-PCS) values.

DERIVED VARIABLES 
Analyses visits will be derived per Section 15.2. Observed data will be used for the 
primary and secondary objectives without derivation.  
15.4 
REPEATED OR UNSCHEDULED ASSESSMENTS OF SAFETY 
PARAMETERS 
If a patient has repeated assessments before the start of the first treatment, the results 
from the final non-missing assessment made prior to the start of the study treatment will 
be used as baseline. If end-of-study assessments are repeated or if unscheduled visits 
occur, the last non-missing Post-treatment assessment will be used as the end-of-study 
assessment for generating summary statistics. However, all Post-treatment assessments 
will be used for PCS value determinations, and all assessments will be presented in the 
data listings. 
15.5 
MISSING DATE OF THE LAST DOSE OF STUDY TREATMENT 
When the date of the last dose of study treatment is missing for a patient in the Safety 
Population, all efforts should be made to obtain the date from the Investigator. If after all 
efforts are made it is still missing, the last available dosing record date will be used as the 
last dose date.

15.6 
MISSING SEVERITY ASSESSMENT FOR ADVERSE EVENTS 
If severity is missing for an AE that started before the date of the first dose of study 
treatment, an intensity of mild will be assigned. If severity is missing for an AE that 
started on or after the date of the first dose of study treatment, an intensity of severe will 
be assigned. The imputed values for severity assessment will be used for the incidence 
summary; the values will be shown as missing in the data listings. 
15.7 
MISSING CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP TO STUDY DRUG FOR 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
If the causal relationship to the study treatment is missing for an AE that started on or 
after the date of the first dose of study treatment, a causality of yes will be assigned. The 
imputed values for causal relationship to study treatment will be used for the incidence 
summary; the values will be shown as missing in the data listings. 
15.8 
MISSING DATE INFORMATION FOR ADVERSE EVENTS 
The following imputation rules only apply to cases in which the start date for AEs is 
incomplete (i.e., partly missing).

MISSING DATE INFORMATION FOR PRIOR OR 
CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS 
For prior or concomitant medications, incomplete (i.e. partly missing) start dates and/or 
stop dates will be imputed. When the start date and the stop date are both incomplete for 
a patient, the start date will be imputed first. 
15.9.1 
Incomplete Start Date 
The following rules will be applied to impute the missing numeric fields for an 
incomplete prior or concomitant medication start date. If the stop date is complete (or 
imputed) and the imputed start date is after the stop date, the start date will be imputed 
using the stop date.

15.9.2 
Incomplete Stop Date 
The following rules will be applied to impute the missing numeric fields for an 
incomplete prior or concomitant medication stop date. If the date of the last dose of study 
treatment is missing, impute it as descripted in Section 15.4. If the imputed stop date is 
before the start date (imputed or non-imputed start date), the imputed stop date will be 
equal to the start date.

Missing month only 
• If only the month is missing, the day will be treated as missing and both the month 
and the day will be replaced according to the above procedure 
Missing day only 
• If the month and year of the incomplete stop date are the same as the month and year 
of the last dose of study treatment, the day of the last dose of study treatment will be 
assigned to the missing day 
• If either the year of the incomplete stop date is before the year of the date of the last 
dose of study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete 
stop date is before the month of the date of the last dose of study treatment, the last 
day of the month will be assigned to the missing day 
• If either the year of the incomplete stop date is after the year of the date of the last 
dose of study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete 
stop date is after the month of the date of the last dose of study treatment, the first day 
of the month will be assigned to the missing day
