Subject reported outcomes on satisfaction, efficacy and safety with Luxerm® in the field-directed treatment of thin or 
non-hyperkeratotic and non-pigmented Actinic Keratosis of the face or the scalp 
Short title (± acronym): SESAME 2 
 
Project number: 
834 
Clinical trial phase: 
Phase IV 
Clinical trial period 
Planned  First Subject In: May 2017 
Planned Last Subject Out: Nov. 2017 
Objective(s): 
Luxerm® with daylight photodynamic therapy has been approved in 
Germany, for the treatment of thin or non-hyperkeratotic and non-
pigmented Actinic Keratosis (AK) on face and scalp.  
 
The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the subject reported outcome 
of Luxerm® Daylight field-directed treatment of thin or non-hyperkeratotic 
and non-pigmented AK lesions on the face or scalp after one session.  
 
Also the efficacy and safety of Luxerm® in terms of subject complete 
response rate will be assessed. 
 
Methodology: 
It is an interventional open label prospective and multicentre study 
conducted in Germany in subjects with thin or non-hyperkeratotic and non-
pigmented multiple AKs in one anatomical  area on the face (e.g., forehead 
or cheek or chin), excluding nose eyelids, lips and mucosa or balding 
scalp, using Luxerm® DL-PDT treatment. 
 
The study will collect the subject’s characteristics and medical history, how 
Luxerm® treatment has been performed, concomitant treatments, safety 
information, investigator and subject‘s satisfaction with the efficacy and 
safety of Luxerm® DL-PDT in the field-directed treatment of thin or non-
hyperkeratotic and non-pigmented AK. 
Total number of planned subjects:  
50 subjects will be enrolled

Investigational product: 
 
Name: 
Luxerm® 
Pharmaceutical form: 
Cream 
Dose/concentration: 
160mg/g of methyl aminolevulinate 
Total daily dose: 
One application 
Mode and frequency of administration: 
One session of Luxerm® daylight photodynamic therapy: a sunscreen with 
chemical filters will be applied to all sun exposed areas including the 
treatment area to prevent subsequent UVA and UVB exposure (as 
provided for the study). After the sunscreen has dried, the selected 
anatomical area should be prepared to facilitate access of the cream and 
light to all lesions. An abrasive pad should be used to roughen the affected 
area. Following skin preparation, a thin layer of Luxerm cream should be 
applied on the anatomical area (field application), without occlusion. 
 
After Luxerm® application, subject will go outdoor under direct daylight no 
later than 30 minutes. On sunny days, should the subject feel 
uncomfortable in direct sunlight, shelter in the shade may be taken. 
 
After 2-hour of daylight exposure, subjects will return indoors and Luxerm® 
will be removed.  
 
Subjects will be instructed to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen for 
the next 48 hours. 
 
The subject will be assessed at baseline and day 1 post-treatment as well 
as at week 12 post-treatment.   
Location of treated area: 
Face or scalp 
Duration of treatment: 
One day 
Comparator product: 
Not applicable 
Non-investigational product to be 
provided for the clinical trial:

safety of Luxerm® in terms of subject complete response rate will be 
assessed. 
 
The Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population consists of all enrolled subjects. The 
safety population (APT) consists of the ITT population, after exclusion of 
subjects who never took the treatment.  
The efficacy endpoint will be analysed on the intent to treat (ITT) 
population, using a worst case approach, in which the lesions with missing 
lesion response assessment will be considered as having not responded. 
 
No inferential statistics will be performed. All variables will be descriptively 
summarized on ITT population and on APT population for the safety 
variables.

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE 
2.1 
Medical background and short rationale for the clinical trial 
AK is a common epithelial non-infiltrative lesion caused by chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) 
radiation damaging cell cycle regulators and leading to proliferation of cytologically abnormal 
epidermal keratinocytes. They are characteristically found on sun-exposed areas such as the face, 
bald scalp, neck, chest, back of the hands and forearms. The etiology of AK is multifactorial, 
common in elderly, fair-skinned men with a history of extensive outdoor activities (Goldberg et 
al 2010). A review of epidemiological studies showed that the prevalence and incidence of AK 
are highly variable depending on the population studied, location, age, and gender (Frost et al 
1994). For example, estimated rates of nearly 1.7 million AK cases have been reported in 
Germany, with standardized prevalence of 1.8%. Age-specific rates were below 1.5% for up to 60 
years and rose to 8.2% in the group of 80-89 years old with as high as 13.2% in men in this sub-
population of elderly patients (Schaefer et al 2014). In particular, no robust data on the German 
prevalence are available. Investigations from Australia reveal a rate about 60% (Frost et al 1994; 
Frost et al 2000). In Europe, prevalence rates of 1.4%–6% (women) and 15% (men) have been 
reported in selected regions (Schaefer et al 2014). AKs themselves are deemed not serious but 
they are very common, highly widespread and recurrent.  Many authors suggest that AKs should 
be classified as early in situ SCCs. It is, however, not possible to predict which lesions will 
progress into SCC (Ferrandiz et al 2017; Fernandez et al 2015). 
Various treatment options are available for the treatment of AK lesions, including destructive 
lesion directed therapies (e.g. cryosurgery, laser or excisional surgery) and topical field directed 
therapies (e.g. 5-fluorouracil [5-FU], imiquimod, diclofenac, ingenol mebutate) (Gold et al 2006; 
Fenske et al 2010). However, patient satisfaction with many of these treatments, especially 
cryotherapy, can be affected by considerable discomfort and residual scarring while with topical 
treatments the longer duration of treatment (imiquimod, diclofenac, 5FU) and/or frequent and 
unpredictable  local skin reaction ( ingenol mebutate, imiquimod, 5FU)  and/or low efficacy 
(diclofenac cream) may be a contributing factor. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a highly 
effective treatment for AK, offering the advantage of excellent cosmesis (Sidoroff et al 2010). 
However, issue with conventional PDT (cPDT) was pain. More recently daylight (DL) PDT has 
been approved based on its non-inferiority vs cPDT for efficacy and superiority in terms of pain 
intensity (Rubel et al 2014; Lacour et al 2015). As with DL-PDT large and/or multiple AKs can 
be treated at the same time, it is recommended as a first-line treatment for individual with 
multiple and/or confluent AKs (Wiegell et al 2012; Morton et al 2013). 
Metvix, a cream formulation containing Methyl Aminolevulinate (MAL), has been approved 
with a red LED light via a suitable lamp (conventional PDT) for the treatment of AK, Bowen’s 
Disease and Basal Cell Carcinoma in several countries worldwide (for further details on Metvix 
use, known benefits and risks, please refer to the Product label). Topical application of MAL 
results in the formation of photoactive protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) which leads to a photochemical

Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 19 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
reaction and thereby phototoxicity to the exposed target cells. The effectiveness and safety of 
MAL conventional and Daylight PDT have been demonstrated in several clinical trials for the 
treatment of AK (Wiegell et al 2008; Fargnoli et al 2015; Lacour JP et al 2015). Several clinical 
studies have shown that Metvix can be activated by natural daylight (Genovese et al 2016; 
Fargnoli et al 2015; Lacour et al 2015; Rubel et al 2014, Wiegell SR et al 2008). Most recently, 
clinical studies performed in Australia and Europe have confirmed that Metvix with Daylight 
Photodynamic Therapy (DL-PDT) treatment regimen was non-inferior to cPDT in terms of 
efficacy, with the advantage of being almost painless and leading to less treatment-related 
adverse events (Rubel et al 2014;  Lacour et al 2015). Metvix DL-PDT treatment regimen is 
currently approved for the treatment of AK in Europe, Australia and Latin American countries. 
Metvix DL-PDT is an effective, safe and alternative treatment for thin or non-hyperkeratotic 
and non-pigmented AK lesions and is associated with high subject satisfaction (See et al 2015). . 
Patients with AKs usually suffer from multiple and coalescent lesions. Clinical markers relate it 
to an increased risk of developing malignant epithelial cancers. This can occur even on seemingly 
unimpaired skin areas surrounding AK. Such pathological condition is described as “field 
cancerization” reflecting the field actinic damage, raising the basis of ‘field cancerization’ 
concept (Samrao et al 2013). This concept suggests that subclinical pre-neoplastic changes exist 
in the apparently normal skin surrounding AKs. Studies confirm the presence of neoplastic 
changes involving the entire field and not only areas of clinically evident NMSCs. The 
management of AK and field cancerization with field-directed treatments as photodynamic 
therapy (PDT) is recommended by international guidelines (Rossi et al 2009; Stockfleth et al 
2008; Dreno et al 2014). AKs have been described to be a field disease and not limited to single 
clinically apparent lesions. In the definition of field cancerization, clinically normal appearing 
skin surrounding AKs contains subclinical features of genetically damaged cells which may 
develop into new AKs and NMSCs (Sotiriou et al 2015). Treatment should therefore target an 
area of field change especially when patients present with multiple AK which may reduce the risk 
of development of further AKs, secondary tumors and local recurrence (Wiegell et al 2012; 
Szeimies et al 2012; Bagazgoita et al 2011).  
 
Metvix DL-PDT is an attractive treatment for treating AKs and different ways of simplification 
of the procedure have been investigated. More recently researchers/physicians’ attention has been 
focused not only on how to activate the photosensitizer but also on how to prepare the skin prior 
to its application. Daylight -PDT is a novel and simplified modality, less expensive and less time-
consuming and has been shown to be more tolerated. Besides, recent trials have demonstrated 
that DL-PDT has a similar effectiveness compared with cPDT for the treatment of AK using field 
treatment (Rubel et al 2014; Wiegell et al 2008). These studies showed similar AK clearance with 
tolerability profile superior for DL-PDT in terms of local skin responses and pain. DL-PDT was 
more cosmetically acceptable but skin preparation technique was not precised (Wiegell et al 
2012). Pre-treatment of the skin is essential for adequate penetration of topical photosensitizing 
agents and subsequent PpIX accumulation. For skin preparation procedure, microneedling, 
curettage, fractional lasers or ablative fractionated laser systems (AFXL) or abrasive skin 
preparation pads or microdermabrasion are the most popular ways to prepare the skin as an 
effective, acceptable and relatively inexpensive but also for cosmetic purposes. A recent study 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384

Page 20 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
showed microdermabrasion with skin pad led to attain same levels of PPIX and erythema as with 
curettage (Bay et al 2017). Other keratolytic therapy in patients with AK prior to MAL-PDT with 
10% salicylic acid or 40% urea cream are also effective in respect of higher lesion response rates 
but are associated with a higher rate of localised side effects such as pain and local skin reactions 
(Gholam et al 2016).  
2.2 
Investigational product profile 
In Germany MAL Daylight PDT has been approved with the brand name Luxerm® and is 
indicated for thin or non-hyperkeratotic and non-pigmented AKs. 
In the proposed study, we aim to evaluate the patient reported outcomes on satisfaction and 
efficacy and safety of MAL with Daylight Photodynamic Therapy (DL-PDT) in the treatment of 
AK lesions in one anatomical area on the face (e.g., forehead or cheek or chin), excluding nose, 
eyelids, lips and mucosa or balding scalp.

Risk/Benefit assessment 
Based on the previous studies (Rubel et al 2014; Wiegell et al 2008), the use of natural daylight 
PDT is expected to improve the tolerability of the treatment (less pain during illumination) and 
simplify the use of Metvix while maintaining a similar efficacy compared to the previous 
studies with conventional PDT. 
The use of red LED light can result in discomfort for patients due to large amounts of PpIX 
which is photobleached in a short period of time.  The continuous activation of PpIX associated 
with the use of natural daylight would result in a corresponding reduction in pain.

Overall, the cumulative post-marketing experience as well as the information from clinical 
studies and literature confirm that the benefit-risk ratio remains positive for the use of methyl 
aminolevulinate in the approved indications. 
MAL Daylight PDT (marketed under the name Luxerm® in Germany) is a commercial product 
that will be used according to the approved indications and usage.  Warnings and precautions 
with MAL Daylight PDT are well known and documented in the product monograph. For more 
details regarding the clinical adverse reactions and/or the post-marketing experience, please refer

CLINICAL TRIAL OBJECTIVES AND CLINICAL HYPOTHESIS 
3.1 
Clinical trials objectives 
The objective of this multi-centre study is to evaluate the subject reported outcomes on 
satisfaction with Luxerm® DL-PDT in the field-directed treatment of thin or non-hyperkeratotic 
and non-pigmented multiple AKs in one anatomical  area on the face (e.g., forehead or cheek or 
chin) excluding nose, eyelids, lips and mucosa, or balding scalp at 12 weeks.  
The other objectives are to assess the efficacy of Luxerm® DL-PDT in subjects with actinic 
keratosis, safety assessments including adverse events and assessment of skin appearance. 
3.2 
Clinical hypothesis 
Based on previous results available, the efficacy of MAL DL-PDT is non-inferior to cPDT and 
Ingenol mebutate in treatment of AKs (Wiegell et al 2008; Fargnoli et al 2015; Genovese et al 
2016). The assumption is also to have similar efficacy in terms of field treatment with better 
tolerability in terms of pain.

Prior and concomitant therapies 
4.3.1 
Definition 
Previous therapies (drugs and/or procedures) are defined as therapies that have been stopped 
within 12 weeks prior to the investigational product application.  
Concomitant therapies are defined as follows: 
 any existing therapies ongoing at the time of the baseline visit , or 
 any changes to existing therapies (such as changes in dose or formulation) during the 
course of the clinical trial, or 
 any new therapies received by the subject since the baseline visit 
4.3.2 
Categories 
The following two categories will be considered for previous and concomitant therapies:  
 Drugs/therapies including, but not limited to, prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), birth 
control pills/patches/hormonal devices, vitamins, moisturizers, sunscreens, herbal 
medicines/supplements, and homeopathic preparations. 
 Medical and surgical procedures including, but not limited to, laser/radiation procedures, 
dermal fillers, X-rays, etc.

Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 25 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
4.3.3 
Recording 
Previous and concomitant therapies will be recorded on the Drugs/Therapies Form (for 
drugs/therapies) and/or on the Medical and Surgical Procedures form (for medical/surgical 
procedures) in the case report form (CRF). 
Concomitant therapies will be recorded, reviewed, and updated at each trial visit. 
Every attempt should be made to keep concomitant therapy dosing and regimen constant during 
the study. Any change to the concomitant therapy should be noted on the CRF. Any new 
concomitant therapy or modification of an existing therapy may be linked to an adverse event 
(AE). A corresponding Adverse Event Form must be completed to account for the change in 
therapy, except in some cases such as therapy used for prophylaxis, dose modification for a 
chronic condition, etc. 
4.3.4 
Authorised therapies during the clinical trial. 
Unless listed in the exclusion criteria above or in the prohibited therapies (see sections 4.2.2 and 
4.3.5), all therapies are authorised. 
Subject may use the sunscreen and moisturizer provided for the trial as required for the 
symptomatic relief of skin dryness or irritation (use of moisturizer other than the provided one 
will be captured in the CRF as concomitant therapy).  
Note: It is preferred that a moisturizer (provided one or a one not containing alpha hydroxy acid) 
be added to the treatment regimen as opposed to implementing an altered dosage regimen. 
4.3.5 
Prohibited therapies during the clinical trial  
The following therapies are prohibited because they may interfere with the efficacy and/or safety 
assessment of the investigational product, or because they may interact with the metabolism of 
the investigational product: 
 On the anatomical area, all topical treatment, medical/surgical procedures listed as exclusion 
criteria (section 4.2.2). 
 All systemic therapies listed in exclusion criteria (section 4.2.2). 
 Any other drugs/procedures which in the investigator’s judgment are liable to interfere or 
interact with the efficacy or safety of Luxerm®. 
 Any UV-therapy should be discontinued before treatment.  


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 26 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
 As a general precaution, sun exposure of the treated anatomical area should be avoided for 
about 2 days following treatment 
 If any outdoor sun exposure the subject will be recommended to apply the provided sunscreen. 
 Any treatment including cryotherapy is prohibited except at the end of the study to treat AK 
lesions at last visit after study clinical assessments.  
 If subject presents mild/moderate/severe AKs outside anatomical area and investigator wishes 
not to wait the end of study before treating them, he/she can do so but in this case only 
cryotherapy can be used. In order to avoid interference with subject pain assessment, it should 
be done once all study assessments, including subject questionnaire completion, have been 
performed at the baseline visit. 
If prohibited therapies become a necessary treatment for the safety or best interest of the subject, 
GALDERMA R&D will be notified to discuss possible alternatives prior to administration of a 
prohibited therapy and to discuss the pertinence and the modalities for the subject to continue in 
the clinical trial. 
4.4 
Procedures / reasons for discontinuation 
An Investigator may decide to discontinue a subject from the clinical trial for safety reasons. 
Although the importance of completing the entire clinical trial should be explained to the subject 
by the clinical trial personnel, any subject is free to discontinue his/her participation in this 
clinical trial at any time and for whatever reason, specified or unspecified, and without prejudice.  
Subjects who discontinue the clinical trial prematurely should be fully evaluated, whenever 
possible. The procedures designated for the week 12 post-treatment visit will be performed for all 
premature discontinuation subjects. The appropriate CRF pages should be completed. 
For all subjects who prematurely discontinue the clinical trial, the reason must be carefully 
documented by the investigator on the Exit Form, and, if applicable, on the Adverse Event Form 
if discontinuation is due to an AE.  
At 1 week post-baseline the investigator will call the subject if he has not heard from the 
subject since baseline visit, to check if the study treatment has been performed: 
- 
If the subject was not able to perform the study treatment during the week post-
baseline due to bad weather conditions, another additional period of maximum 7 days 
is offered to perform the study treatment.  
- 
For an additional period greater than 7 days the decision to maintain the subject in 
the study will be based on discussion between investigator and sponsor. 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 27 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
- 
If the subject decides to stop his participation for whatever reason, he/she will be 
asked to return the study product to the site. The study product must not be 
reallocated to another subject and should be discarded from the study product stock.  
Investigator has the possibility to replace the subject. 
In the case of early termination, the investigator should ensure that the subject receives 
appropriate therapy for his/her condition. 
GALDERMA R&D may also decide to prematurely terminate or suspend the clinical trial or the 
participation of a subject in the clinical trial. 
All data gathered on the subject prior to termination will be made available to GALDERMA R&D. 
Reasons for clinical trial completion/discontinuation, as listed on the Exit Form of the CRF are 
described below: 
Normal study Completion 
Subject completes the clinical trial as planned in protocol. 
Pregnancy 
Withdraw the subject from the clinical trial following the procedure described in the 
protocol section 8.3 
Adverse Event 
Complete CRF Adverse Event Form. 
Withdrawal by subject  
Includes consent withdrawal, subject relocation, schedule conflicts, etc… Does not 
include AE. Explain the reason for withdrawal in the comments section of the CRF 
Exit Form. 
Protocol Violation 
Explain the violation in the comments section of the CRF Exit Form 
Lost to Follow-up 
Confirm with 2 documented phone calls and a certified letter (delivery receipt 
requested) without response. Explain in the comments section of the CRF Exit Form. 
Other 
This category is to be used for a subject who discontinues for a reason other than 
those specified in the predefined categories above. Explain the reason for 
discontinuation in the comments section of CRF Exit Form. 
If reason for discontinuation is “withdrawal by subject” or “other”, the subject must be 
questioned to rule out the possibility of an AE; this should be documented in the CRF.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
5.1 
Overall clinical trial design 
This clinical trial will be conducted as a multicentre, open label clinical trial involving male or 
female subjects of any race, aged  18 years with clinically confirmed thin or non-hyperkeratotic 
and non-pigmented multiple AKs in an anatomical area on the face or scalp , and meeting other 
specific eligibility criteria. 
A total of 50 subjects will be enrolled in approximately 8 sites in Germany. Approximately 5 to 
10 subjects are planned for each site.

At baseline subject eligibility will be validated and the anatomical area to be treated on the face 
(e.g., forehead or cheek or chin) excluding nose, eyelids, lips and mucosa, or balding scalp, will 
be selected by the investigator.  
Subjects will receive from the investigator adequate training and detailed instructions about 
Luxerm treatment. Eligible subjects will apply the Luxerm treatment with daylight PDT within 
1 week (± 7 days) to the baseline visit depending on appropriate weather conditions to allow 
daylight exposure. 
Subjects will be evaluated up to three times during the study; at baseline, Day 1 post-treatment 
(±2 days) and week 12 post treatment (±7 days). 
5.2 
Discussion of clinical trial design 
Luxerm is registered in Germany; this study is therefore considered as Phase IV. Luxerm® 
cream is a topical therapy currently approved for treatment of thin or non-hyperkeratotic and non-
pigmented actinic keratoses (AKs) on the face and scalp. In several clinical trials it has been 
shown to be highly effective, safe, well-tolerated and to give excellent cosmetic outcomes with 
minimal risk of scaring. 
An interventional design is applied in this study because it allows assessment of patient reported 
outcomes to Luxerm treatment satisfaction in addition to safety and efficacy evaluations of 
Luxerm daylight photodynamic therapy as per local SmPC. Information on the treatment 
application will be recorded by the subject in a questionnaire and reported in an electronic Case 
Report Form (eCRF).   
Although several studies have already been conducted with MAL DL-PDT to treat different skin 
conditions, it is felt that a clinical trial is required to confirm the subject reported outcomes with 
DL-PDT to assess the level of satisfaction. 
5.3 
Clinical trial duration and termination 
The average planned period for the clinical trial from First Subject In (FSI) to Last Subject Out 
(LSO) is 6 months. The end date of the clinical trial will be the date of the last visit of the last 
subject who participates in the clinical trial. 
The planned duration of recruitment (i.e. From FSI to Last Subject In (LSI)) is approximately 3 
months. 
The clinical trial may be terminated by the investigator at his/her clinical trial site at any time 
with appropriate notification to GALDERMA R&D. Likewise, GALDERMA R&D may terminate 
the clinical trial and/or the participation of the clinical trial site(s) with appropriate notification. 
The expected duration of subject participation is approximately 15 weeks.

Baseline Visit 
1 
Anatomical area and lesion mapping by the investigator using a transparent plastic sheet (after 
confirmation that all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria are met). Removal of any 
scales and crusts in the anatomical area by the investigator if deemed necessary. 
 
Subject provided with oral and written instructions on the treatment procedure of the anatomical area 
(lesions and field). The patient should undergo treatment at home in the following week (± 7 days), 
with appropriate weather conditions, as follow: 
Treatment 
day*  
t -15 min 
The subject applies Actinica sunscreen on the selected anatomical area and all other 
sun exposed skin.  The quantity of sunscreen will be sufficient to cover all areas 
exposed during the DL exposure step. 
t=0 min 
After approximately 15 min once the sunscreen (Actinica sunscreen) has dried, the 
subject prepares the anatomical area to be treated with an abrasive pad to remove 
scales and crusts and roughen the surface of the lesions  
 
Then, the subject applies a thin layer of Luxerm® on the entire anatomical area using 
the provided finger glove and avoiding contact with eyes, lips and mucous 
membranes. 
t=30 min 
The subject goes outdoors no later than 30mins of application of Luxerm® for 2 hours 
daylight exposure. 
On sunny days, should the subject feel uncomfortable in direct sunlight, shelter in the 
shade may be taken. 
t=2h30 
The subject returns indoors and Luxerm® is removed by washing 
* Subject will be advised to follow the instructions as close to the baseline visit (within 1 week ± 7 days) with 
appropriate weather condition to ensure the instructions are well followed.  
As a general precaution, sun exposure of the treated anatomical area should be avoided for about 
2 days following treatment. Subjects are advised to use a sunscreen in all exposed areas, 
including the treated area, during this period 
At 1 week post-baseline the investigator will call the subject to check if the study treatment 
has been performed: 
If the subject was not able to perform the study treatment during the week post-baseline 
due to bad weather conditions, another additional period of maximum 7 days is offered to 
perform the study treatment.  
For an additional period greater than 7 days the decision to maintain the subject in the 
study will be based on discussion between PI and sponsor. 
If the subject decides to stop his participation for whatever reason, he/she will be asked to 
return the study product to the site. Appropriate treatment will be decided at investigator 
discretion. The study product must not be reallocated to another subject and should be 
discarded from the study product stock.  Investigator has the possibility to replace the 
subject.

a complete inventory of all investigational products and assume responsibility for their storage, 
accountability and dispensation. 
The Investigator or designee will sign the original Acknowledgement of receipt form upon 
receipt and inspection of the supplies, fax the signed copy to GALDERMA R&D and retain the 
receipt in the Investigator Site File (ISF). 
All supplies sent to the investigator site will be accounted for and in no case used in any 
unauthorized situation.  
At the end of the trial, all used and unused investigational product will be appropriately 
inventoried by the monitor and will be returned to GALDERMA R&D for further reconciliation, 
appropriate inventory and destruction. 
6.4.2 
Dispensing 
All investigational products will be prescribed only to subjects enrolled into the clinical trial, at 
no cost and in accordance with the conditions specified in the protocol. 
Dispensation will be appropriately documented on the product dispensation log by the 
investigational product dispenser at each visit. 
Each subject will receive 1 tube of Luxerm® 2g at Baseline. 
6.4.3 
Investigational product compliance management and record 
Each subject will be instructed by the investigator about the importance of being compliant with 
clinical trial treatment as well as the importance of returning their investigational product (used 
and/or not used) at day 1 post-treatment. 
The investigational product will be collected and counted at day 1 post-treatment by the 
investigator or designee. 
Subjects will also be questioned by the investigator regarding the skin preparation, application 
technique of investigational product, the daylight exposure conditions and the use of any other 
additional topical, systemic drug as well as OTC product.

A subject’s questionnaire will be given to each subject in order to record the information on 
treatment procedure. The investigator will review the subject’s questionnaire at visit 2. 
The return of used/unused investigational product will be appropriately documented on the 
product dispensation log by the investigator or designee. 
6.4.4 
Storage of investigational product 
The investigator has to agree to keep all investigational products in a safe, temperature controlled 
and secure area with restricted access, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements 
(e.g., in the site pharmacy, if applicable). 
Investigational products should be stored at appropriate storage conditions specified by 
GALDERMA R&D (see section 6.1.1). 
The investigator will inform each subject about the storage conditions until treatment application. 
6.4.5 
Return of investigational product 
The investigator will inform each subject about the importance of returning their investigational 
products (used and/or not used) at the visit 2. 
In the event of early termination/suspension of the clinical trial for safety reasons, a rapid recall 
of the trial product(s) will be initiated.  The investigator or designee must immediately instruct all 
subjects to not perform the clinical trial treatment procedure and return the investigational 
product to the clinical trial site. 
As a general procedure, GALDERMA R&D will provide the investigator with a detailed list of 
units being recalled so that any of the units remaining on site can be put immediately into 
quarantine.

7.3 
Safety assessments 
A safety assessment will be conducted for all subjects at the baseline visit (after the ICF has been 
signed) and every subsequent visit.  The safety parameters which are adverse events and subject’s 
self-assessment of pain should be recorded as described in the section 7.3.1 and 7.3.2. 
7.3.1 
Adverse Events 
Adverse events (AEs) are to be monitored throughout the course of the clinical trial. 
All AEs including local skin reactions are to be reported on an Adverse Event Form of the eCRF 
with complete information as required. If AEs occur, the main concern will be the safety of the 
subject. At the time of the ICF signature, each subject must be provided with the name and 
telephone number of clinical trial center personnel for reporting AEs and medical emergencies. 
7.3.2 
Subject’s self-assessment of pain 
After the treatment procedure when 2 hours daylight exposure is completed, the subject will be 
requested to assess the maximal pain felt during the duration of the light exposure. The pain 
sensation will be assessed on an 11-point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), where 0 = no pain at all 
and 10 = extreme pain and will be reported by the subject in the first subject questionnaire.

Other assessments 
7.4.1 
Photodamage assessment by Dovers Scale 
At baseline visit and last visit, the investigator will assess the skin photodamage of the anatomical 
area using the following scale: 
Table 6 - Dover’s modified global photodamage score  
0 
Skin smooth to the touch without significant fine lines, coarse lines, erythema, telangiectasia, sebaceous 
hyperplasia, or unevenness in pigmentation in any of the scalp/facial areas (cheeks, forehead, and the 
perioral area) 
1 
Scalp/facial skin (on the cheeks, forehead, or the perioral area) shows 1 area of significant roughness, 
coarse lines, erythema, telangiectasia, sebaceous hyperplasia, dyspigmentation (hypopigmentation or 
hyperpigmentation), or fine lines 
2 
Scalp/facial skin (on the cheeks, forehead, or the perioral area) shows 2 areas of significant roughness, 
coarse lines, erythema, telangiectasia, sebaceous hyperplasia, dyspigmentation, or fine lines; or shows 
roughness, coarse lines, erythema, telangiectasia, sebaceous hyperplasia, dyspigmentation, and fine lines 
in 1 area 
3 
Scalp/facial skin (on the cheeks, forehead, or the perioral area) shows 3 areas with significant roughness, 
coarse lines, erythema, telangiectasia, sebaceous hyperplasia, dyspigmentation, or fine lines; or shows 
roughness, coarse lines, erythema, telangiectasia, sebaceous hyperplasia, dyspigmentation, and fine lines 
in 2 areas  
4 
Scalp/facial skin shows any degrees of photodamage greater than level 3 
7.4.2 
Photographs (for selected sites) 
At selected sites only, standardized digital photographs of the anatomical area will be taken at 
baseline and week 12 using a digital camera. Detailed procedures will be provided separately.  
Only subjects who have signed a Photography Release Consent Form will be photographed at 
baseline and last visit.  
7.4.3 
Investigator questionnaire 
 
The investigator will be asked to fill out a questionnaire (appendix 3) once all subjects from his 
site have completed the study.  
7.5 
Appropriateness of measurements 
All measurements planned in this study are non-invasive. 
PRO will be evaluated using a questionnaire after treatment and at the end of the study. 
Treatment compliance will be evaluated based on the recording of treatment information on the 
subject questionnaire. The questionnaire will collect specifically information on the treatment

procedure, the subject’s opinion on the treatments and on the associated cosmetics products used 
in the trial. 
Efficacy will be evaluated by assessing the lesion response which is a sensitive endpoint widely 
used in clinical practice to assess cure of AKs.  At the Week 12 visit, the Investigator will 
identify all AK lesions (new or initial) on the anatomical area and will define, for each lesion pre-
existing at Baseline, the lesion response as CR or non-CR (see 7.2.1.2).  This will allow 
determining the number and percentage of cured lesions.     
The safety of investigational product will be assessed through the reported AEs.  To complete 
safety assessment, the Subject’s pain assessment after treatment and Subject’s skin aspect at 
Week 12 will also be measured. 
The same investigator will evaluate the same subject at each visit throughout the clinical trial.

ADVERSE EVENT 
8.1 
Definitions 
8.1.1 
Adverse Events (AE) 
According to ICH E2A, an AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical 
investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have 
a causal relationship with this treatment.  An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and 
unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory value), symptom, or disease temporally 
associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the 
medicinal (investigational) product. 
Thus any new sign, symptom or disease, or clinically significant increase in the intensity of an 
existing sign, symptom or disease since the first visit (including the disease being treated), should 
be considered as an adverse event. Lack of efficacy should not be considered as an AE. 
Each new episode of a chronic disease (e.g., hay fever, allergy, etc.) from the screening visit 
should be reported as a new AE. 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 44 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
Notes: 
 Any new sign or symptom reported by the subject that appears after accidental or intentional 
overdose or misuse should also be reported as an AE. 
 There should be an attempt to report a diagnosis rather than the signs, symptoms or abnormal 
laboratory values associated with the report of an AE.  However, a diagnosis should be 
reported only if, in the Investigator’s judgment, it is relatively certain.  Otherwise, symptoms, 
signs, or laboratory values should be used to describe the AE. 
 Pregnancy should not be considered as an adverse event but must be followed up as described 
in section 8.3 
 For an AE of irritation, the “date of onset” should be the date that the first symptom occurred. 
8.1.2 
Serious Adverse Events (SAE) 
A serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:  
 results in death, 
 is life-threatening, 
 requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 
 results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or 
 is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered as an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, 
they may jeopardize the safety of the subject, and may require medical or surgical intervention to 
prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. Examples of such events are intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasia, or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization. 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 45 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
Note: 
 The term “life-threatening” refers to an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the 
time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if 
it was more severe. 
 Inpatient hospitalization is considered to have occurred if the subject has had to stay in 
hospital overnight. The criterion for the prolongation of hospitalization is also defined as an 
extra night at the hospital. Hospitalization may not constitute sufficient grounds to be 
considered as an hospitalization if it is solely for the purpose of diagnostic tests, (even if 
related to an AE), elective hospitalization for an intervention which was already planned 
before subject enrolment in the clinical trial, admission to a day-care facility, social admission 
(e.g., if the subject has no place to sleep), or administrative admission (e.g., for a yearly 
examination). 
8.1.3 
Unexpected adverse drug reaction 
According to ICH E6, an unexpected adverse drug reaction is defined as an adverse reaction, the 
nature or severity of which is not consistent with the applicable study drug information (in this 
clinical trial: the summary of product characteristics for an approved product at the time of AE 
occurence). 
8.1.4 
Adverse event reporting period 
The clinical trial period during which AEs must be reported is the period from when the subject 
signs the Informed Consent Form to the end of the subject’s participation. 
The sponsor should be informed if the investigator becomes aware of any unusual safety 
information or any safety information that appears to be drug-related involving a subject who has 
participated in a clinical trial, even after a subject has completed the clinical trial. The 
investigator should be diligent in looking for possible latent safety effects that do not appear until 
a medication has been discontinued. 
8.1.5 
Severity 
Severity is a clinical determination of the intensity of an AE and not of a disease. 
The investigator will classify the intensity of AEs using the following definitions as a guideline 
for all AEs occurring during clinical trials conducted or sponsored by GALDERMA. For this 
classification, the investigator will take into account the possible range of the intensity of the 
event and report the grade of intensity which is the most appropriate according  his medical 
judgment. 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 46 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
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 perform usual activity 
8.1.6 
Relationship to the study drug(s) and/or clinical trial procedure 
The investigator is to determine whether there is a reasonable causal relationship between the 
occurrence of the AE and exposure to the study drug and/or clinical trial procedure. Medical 
judgment should be used to determine the relationship, considering all relevant factors, including 
pattern of reaction, temporal relationship, positive dechallenge or rechallenge, relevant medical 
history, and confounding factors such as co-medication or co-concurrent diseases. 
The expression “reasonable causal relationship” is meant to convey in general that there are facts 
or arguments to suggest a causal relationship (International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) 
E2A, section IIIA 1). 
The relationship assessment for an AE is to be completed using the following definitions as a 
guideline for all adverse events occurring during clinical trials conducted or sponsored by 
GALDERMA: 
Reasonable possibility: 
According to the reporting investigator, there is a reasonable possibility (i.e. suggestive evidence 
or arguments) that there is a causal relationship irrespective of the dose administered between: 
 The study drug  (investigational product) and the AE,  
 The clinical trial protocol procedure (e.g., skin preparation, skin pad, daylight exposure, 
such as moisturizers or sunscreen, etc. and the AE. 
The Investigator has to complete these 2 causality assessments on the AE form. 
No Reasonable Possibility: 
No suggestive evidence or arguments can be identified regarding a causal relationship between 
the investigational product or the clinical trial protocol procedure and the AE.

8.2 
Reporting procedures  
8.2.1 
Procedures for reporting adverse events 
The collection of AEs is from the time that a subject signs the ICF to their final trial visit. 
At each post-baseline visit, the investigator (or sub-investigator) will enquire about adverse 
events using an open question taking care not to influence the subject’s answer (e.g., “Have you 
noticed any change in your health since the last visit?”). Direct questioning and examination will 
then be performed as appropriate. 
Any AE occurring during the AE reporting period, whether it is related to the study drug  or not, 
will be recorded immediately in the source document, and described in the Adverse Event Form 
of the eCRF along with the date of onset, severity, relationship to the study drug, and outcome, 
without omitting any requested and known information.  Additional information will be requested 
under certain circumstances. Adverse Events (AEs) assessed as related to the treatment will be 
monitored until they are completely or satisfactorily resolved. Other AEs will be monitored until 
the last visit if they are not resolved or satisfactorily resolved. 
Adverse events assessed as related to the treatment or study procedure will be monitored until 
they have resolved or reached a stable condition. Other AEs will be monitored until the last visit 
if they have not resolved or reached a stable condition. The investigator will obtain and maintain 
in the subject’s files all pertinent medical records, information and medical judgment from 
colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of the subject. If necessary, the 
investigator will contact the subject’s personal physician or hospital staff to obtain further details. 
For SAEs (see section 8.2.2) and pregnancies (see section 8.3), the Sponsor is to be informed 
immediately by e-mail/fax.  The event must be reported by fax or sent by e-mail to the Sponsor 
within 24 hours of receipt of the information (contact details in section 8.2.2).

8.2.2 
Procedure for reporting a serious adverse event 
For an SAE occurring during the period of the clinical trial, regardless of whether it is related to 
the treatment or not, and of whether it is expected or not, the investigator must do the following: 
11. 
Take prompt and appropriate medical action, if necessary. The safety of subject is the 
first priority. 
12. 
Ensure that the event is classified as an SAE. Immediately (no later than 24 hours) 
inform the Sponsor  of the event by email/ fax/, and discuss further actions  to be taken:

13. 
 Print and complete the Serious Adverse Event form (available in the EDC system as PDF 
document). Fax or send by email the completed form, accompanied any other relevant 
information or anonymized medical records (e.g., laboratory test results) within 24 hours of 
receipt of this information to the sponsor (see contact details above). The demographics, 
medical history, drugs/therapies forms, and adverse event pages of the eCRF must be 
completed and available for review in the EDC system at the time of the report. 
14. 
Monitor and record the progress of the event until it resolves or reaches a clinically 
stable outcome, with or without sequelae. For all additional follow-up evaluations, fax or 
send by e-mail all additional follow-up information on the SAE to the sponsor (see contact 
details above) within 24 hours of receipt of the updated information.  SAEs will be 
monitored until the Investigator and Sponsor agree that the event is satisfactorily resolved. 
15. 
Obtain and maintain in his/her files all pertinent medical records, information, and medical 
judgments from colleagues who assisted in the treatment and follow-up of the subject.  If 
necessary, contact the subject’s personal physician or hospital staff to obtain further details. 
16. 
Inform the sponsor of the final outcome of the event. Send a revised or updated SAE 
form and AE form, if appropriate. 
17. 
Prompt notification of SAEs by the investigator to GALDERMA is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of subjects are met. GALDERMA 
has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other regulatory 
agencies about the safety of a product under clinical investigation. GALDERMA will 
comply with country specific regulatory requirements relating to safety reporting to 
regulatory authorities, IRBs/IECs and investigators. Investigator safety reports are prepared 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 49 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
for Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) according to local 
regulatory requirements and GALDERMA policy and are forwarded to investigators as 
necessary. An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE(s) 
or other specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from GALDERMA 
will file it with the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements. 
18. 
Comply with the applicable regulatory requirements related to the reporting of SAEs to 
your IRB/EC. 
8.3 
Procedure for suspected allergic contact reaction  
This is a general procedure and further details can be discussed with the sponsor. 
 Stop the study product 
 Take a picture of the affected area and the non-affected surrounding skin  
 Document the event as an Adverse Event of Special Interest, email/fax the Sponsor 
immediately, and report the event within 24 hours of receipt of the information as described 
in section ‎8.2.2. 
In case of suspicion of allergic contact dermatitis  
1. 
After all signs and symptoms have resolved and after a minimum of two weeks from last 
dose application, a re-challenge test with the assigned study product will be performed.  
2. 
Ensure the subject has not been under any treatment with corticosteroids or antihistamines, 
regardless of the route of administration, the week before testing. 
3. 
Ensure that the skin on the back has not been exposed to the sun or artificial ultraviolet 
sources the week before testing. 
4. 
Apply an appropriate quantity of the assigned study product to fill the cupule of the test 
chamber on the skin of the upper back on either the right or left side of the centre line (or 
the inner forearm if the back cannot be tested). If no test chamber is available on-site, patch 
test units will be provided. It may be preferable to perform the test under semi-occlusive 
conditions depending on the irritant potential of the study product and the intensity of the 
reaction that was observed. The method to be used will be discussed with the sponsor.  
Choose a skin site that was not previously involved in the inflammatory skin reaction. 
Cover it for 48 hours with a hypoallergenic tape. 
5. 
Patient should be informed about avoiding exercise, showers, application of toiletries 
products, etc. to keep the test system dry 
6. 
After 48 hours, remove the tests and evaluate the site:

positive controls) after a minimum of additional two weeks (but not later than 6 months) 
and after all signs and symptoms have resolved. The patch tests will be placed on the 
subject’s back (or the inner forearm if the back cannot be tested) distant from the site of the 
re-challenge test (e.g., the left upper back skin if the re-challenge test was done on the right 
side). Follow the same procedure for the patch test as for the re-challenge.  
In case of suspicion of immediate contact skin reaction (such as urticaria) 
A case by case approach will be applied and the procedure to follow will be discussed with the 
sponsor. 
 
8.4 
Procedures for reporting pregnancies 
Any pregnancy occurring during clinical trials, where the foetus could have been exposed to the 
investigational product(s), must be followed-up until outcome in order to ensure the complete 
collection of safety data on GALDERMA  product. 
If a subject becomes pregnant, the Investigator is to do the following: 
1. 
Withdraw the subject from the clinical trial  
2. 
Complete all appropriate visit evaluations and CRF pages. 
3. 
Immediately (no later than 24 hours) contact the Sponsor to inform them of the 
pregnancy occurrence and discuss further steps to be taken. 
4. 
Complete, as fully as possible, the pregnancy surveillance form – Part I: History and 
start of pregnancy - provided by the CRA at the beginning of the clinical trial, as fully as 
possible. Fax or send by email this pregnancy form along with the Exit form within 
24 hours of receipt of the information to the Sponsor.

STATISTICAL METHODS PLANNED 
9.1 
Statistical and analytical plans 
A Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) will be developed as a separate document. The SAP will 
contain a more detailed and technical description of specific data conventions, calculations and of 
statistical procedures for executing the analyses that are specified in the sections of the clinical 
trial protocol below.  The SAP will be finalized prior to database lock. 
Any change made to the finalized SAP will be documented in the clinical trial report. 
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the subject reported outcome with Luxerm® 
Daylight field procedure after one session. Also the efficacy and safety of Luxerm® in terms of 
subject complete response rate will be assessed. 
9.1.1 
Analysed Variables  
The following variables will be analysed: 
9.1.1.1 Efficacy variable 
 Patient Reported Outcomes: subject questionnaire at treatment day after daylight session and 
at last visit (week 12 or early termination).  
 Lesion complete response rate, defined as the percentage of preexisting and treated lesions in 
the anatomical area at baseline assessed as clear at week 12 


GALDERMA RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT 
Protocol N° RD.03.SPR.114384  
Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 53 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
 Subject complete response rate defined as the percentage of subjects with all treated lesions 
clear in the anatomical area at Week 12. 
 Subject partially clear defined as the percentage of subjects with at least 75% lesion complete 
response in the anatomical area at week 12. 
 Number of new AK lesions in the anatomical area. 
 Subject’s skin aspect at week12: mean score on anatomical area at week12. 
9.1.1.2 Safety variables  
 Subject’s self-assessment of maximal pain after daylight exposure. 
 Incidence and severity of adverse events. 
 
9.1.1.3 Other variables 
 Photodamage score with Dover’s scale at baseline visit and week 12.  
 Physician questionnaire at study end once all subjects in the study center have completed the 
study.

Final version - dated on 22 February -2017 
Page 54 of 69 CONFIDENTIAL 
9.1.2 Populations analysed, evaluability and limitations / evaluation of Bias 
The statistical analyses will be performed based on the following subject populations: 
9.1.2.1 The Intent-to-Treat efficacy population (ITT) 
This population will consist of the entire population enrolled (i.e. treatment dispensed). The ITT 
population will be used for all variables except the safety variables. 
9.1.2.2 The Safety population (All subject treated [APT]) 
This population will consist of the Intent-to-Treat population, after exclusion of subjects who 
never used the treatment with certainty based on monitoring report. The APT population will be 
only used for the safety variables (AEs). 
9.1.2.3 Missing values 
In order to evaluate the effect of major deviations or of data exclusions, lesion response endpoint 
will be analysed using a worst case approach, in which the lesions with missing lesion response 
assessment will be considered as having not responded.  
9.1.3 
Data presentation and graphics 
All continuous data will be summarized using usual statistics: number of values, mean, median, 
standard deviation, minimum and maximum, and by frequency distribution (n, %) for qualitative 
data. For ordinal data, both frequency distribution and usual statistics will be presented. All tables 
will be presented by clinical trial treatment and by visit (when applicable).  
Therapies that have been stopped before the baseline visit will be presented as prior therapies. 
Those reported at screening or starting between screening and baseline visits and still continuing 
after baseline will be classified as concomitant therapies. 
The adverse events will be descriptively summarized (n, %) for the safety population (APT). The 
adverse events will be descriptively summarized (n, %) by relationship to clinical trial treatments 
within System Organ Class (SOC) and preferred term (MedDRA). Subjects will be descriptively 
summarized (n, %) by intensity (i.e. mild, moderate and severe) of adverse events, SOC and 
preferred terms. Deaths and serious adverse events will be reported as well as withdrawals due to 
adverse events. A subject will be counted only once per System Organ Class (SOC) and only 
once per preferred term even if more than one occurrence of an event was reported within a SOC 
or preferred term. In the summary by categories of intensity, the adverse event with the highest 
intensity will be used. The subject will be counted only once per SOC (highest intensity whatever 
the AE within the SOC) and once per preferred term (highest intensity whatever the AE within 
the preferred term).

9.1.4 
Statistical analyses 
The objective of this trial is to evaluate the subject reported outcome with Luxerm® Daylight 
field procedure after one treatment session. Also the efficacy and safety of Luxerm® in terms of 
subject complete response rate will be assessed. 
No inferential statistics will be performed. All variables will be descriptively summarized on ITT 
population and on APT population for the safety variables.  
Any changes of the statistical analyses decided after the database lock will be justified and 
documented. 
9.2 
Sample size determination 
9.2.1 
Historical data and assumptions 
As no inferential statistics will be performed and as this study is of exploratory nature, no 
statistical rationale of sample size can be used.  
9.2.2 
Sample size calculation 
However, concerning the satisfaction survey, assuming an overall satisfaction around 85%, with 
total of 50 subjects included in the study, the precision is 10%, which is sufficient. 
10 
TRAINING / MONITORING / DATA MANAGEMENT / QUALITY ASSURANCE 
A contract research organization (CRO) will be responsible for monitoring the clinical trial and 
the sponsor may perform co-monitoring visits at selected sites. 
10.1 
Personnel training 
Clinical Research Associates (CRA) will be trained prior to clinical trial initiation. During this 
training, an overview of the disease of interest and treatment will be presented. Training on safety 
reporting sponsor procedures will be done. Specific monitoring guidelines and procedures to be 
followed during monitoring visits will be discussed. 
Initiation visits will be conducted with all Principal Investigators and site teams. During these 
visits, an extensive review and discussion of the protocol, procedures and CRF will be conducted.

10.3 
Data management 
A CRO will be responsible for data management in connection with the sponsor’s data manager. 
All data management procedures will be detailed in the Data Management Plan (DMP).  
The DMP will describe the Clinical Data Management System (CDMS) that will be used to 
collect and validate data. Computerized edit checks and review processes will be performed on an 
ongoing basis as outlined in the DMP until all data discrepancies are resolved. 
After all data discrepancies are resolved, coding is approved, and subject evaluability has been 
determined, the data will be exported to SAS datasets and will be locked. 
The locked SAS database will be used to generate subject listings, tabulations and analyses.  
The data may be audited by the sponsor and/or CRO Quality Assurance department before or 
after the first statistical analysis results on the primary criteria.
