INTRODUCTION 
Approximately 2 million people in the United States of America (USA) have epilepsy.  
As many as 30% of epilepsy subjects may not be well controlled on treatment with a 
single or multiple existing antiepileptic drugs (AEDs; French et al., 2004).  The approach 
of adding on an experimental AED to an existing non-optimal therapeutic regimen has 
proven to be a useful technique for demonstrating efficacy of novel compounds.  The 
present study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy in a second year of open-
label treatment with ganaxolone when used as an add-on therapy in adult subjects with 
drug-resistant partial-onset (focal) seizures. 
Ganaxolone is the 3β-methylated synthetic analog of allopregnanolone, which is 
synthesized in vivo when progesterone undergoes 5α-reduction and loses all 
progestational activity.  Ganaxolone is a positive allosteric modulator of γ-aminobutyric 
acid A (GABAA) receptors with potency and efficacy comparable to its endogenous 
analog allopregnanolone (Carter et al., 1997).  As with allopregnanolone, ganaxolone 
potentiation of the GABAA receptor occurs at a site distinct from the benzodiazepine site.  
Ganaxolone has protective activity in diverse rodent seizure models, including clonic 
seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and bicuculline, limbic seizures in the 6 Hz 
model, and amygdala kindled seizures (Carter et al., 1997; Kaminski et al., 2004; Reddy 
et al., 2004). Unlike allopregnanolone, ganaxolone cannot be converted to an active 
steroid; it is currently under study for treatment of chronic neurologic and psychiatric 
conditions such as adult and pediatric epilepsy, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and 
behaviors in Fragile X Syndrome.  Human trials indicate that ganaxolone is well tolerated 
and that it may be efficacious in the treatment of diverse forms of epilepsy in children 
and adults (Bialer et al. 2010). 
As of May 31, 2013, 986 subjects have received and completed treatment with 
ganaxolone in 35 studies, ranging in duration from 1 day to more than 2 years. Two 
hundred and eighty-nine subjects received ganaxolone in Phase 1 studies, including 22 
subjects in Study 1042-0404 which was an open-label, ascending multiple-dose safety 
and tolerability study of 1200, 1600 and 2000 mg/day.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
Subjects in Study 1042-0404 were maintained at each dose level for 3-5 days; the doses 
were safe and generally well-tolerated. Pharmacokinetics were assessed at steady state 
after each dose level.  Results showed that both Cmax and levels increased with 
increasing dose over the range of 600 to 1000 mg BID under fed conditions, though not 
in proportion to increases in dose. The incidence of adverse events (AEs) was dose-
related and most AEs were classified as mild and possibly related to study drug. The most 
common AEs affecting more than 20% of subjects (n, %) were somnolence (19, 86%), 
euphoric mood (13, 59%), nausea (8, 36%), headache (6, 27%), and tremor, flatulence 
and muscle spasms (each 5, 23%).   There were no clinically significant findings for 
laboratory safety values, vital signs or ECG data. There were no positive findings on the 
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) during the study. 
In Phase 2 adult trials in the ganaxolone program, 697 adults received ganaxolone in 9 
studies, 6 of which were in epilepsy. To date, the largest placebo-controlled completed 
study (N=147) of ganaxolone in epilepsy was 10-week, double-blind Study 1042-0600 
followed by an open-label extension of up to two years duration. Study 1042-0600 
showed ganaxolone (500 mg tid) adjunctive therapy significantly reduced partial onset 
seizures, with or without secondary generalizations, compared to placebo (p= 0.014). 
Ganaxolone-treated subjects experienced a median decrease of 26% (17.6% mean) 
compared to a 10.2% (+2.0% mean) decrease in placebo.  
Most of the adverse events reported in the clinical development program were mild or 
moderate in severity, dose-related, and resolved upon treatment discontinuation. Adult 
and pediatric subjects in open label extension studies to the epilepsy trials have been 
dosed with ganaxolone for >2 years with no new adverse events reported as compared to 
the controlled trials.  Three deaths have been reported in the program, none related to 
ganaxolone. 
Adverse events reported from Study 1042-0600 in at least 5% of subjects and >1.5 times 
more frequent in the ganaxolone group than the placebo group were dizziness (16.3 v. 
8.3%), fatigue (16.3 v. 8.3%) and somnolence (13.3 v. 2.0%). The discontinuation rates 
due to adverse events between the ganaxolone and placebo groups in Study 1042-0600 
were comparable, 7.1% and 6.1% respectively.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
In Study 1042-0600 and in the ganaxolone development program overall, no clinically 
significant trends in changes from baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings, vital 
signs, or physical or neurological examinations have been noted in the clinical studies, 
and no mean changes from baseline in clinical labs have been identified. Transient 
increases in LFTs (>3xULN) have been noted in less than 1% of subjects treated with 
ganaxolone. Serious adverse events (SAEs) reported in the ganaxolone epilepsy trials 
were considered by a Scientific Advisory Board to be usual for the population without 
any pattern attributable to ganaxolone.  Profiles of the most frequently reported AEs have 
been consistent with the predicted pharmacology of the drug.  
Due to the favorable tolerability profile of ganaxolone in Study 1042-0600 and its open-
label extension, the current study is designed to further examine the safety, tolerability 
and efficacy in a second year of open-label treatment with ganaxolone when used as an 
add-on therapy in adult subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset (focal) seizures.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN 
8.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan 
Study 1042-0604 is an open-label extension of Study 1042-0603, providing a two-year 
adjunctive ganaxolone treatment (900-1800 mg/d) to adult subjects with epilepsy 
consisting of partial-onset seizure (POS).  Subjects will enter the study at their current 
dose of ganaxolone from study 1042-0603.  The dose of ganaxolone may be adjusted for 
tolerability and response.  
8.2 
Discussion of Study Design 
This open-label protocol is designed to provide ganaxolone to adult subjects with 
epilepsy consisting of uncontrolled POS who are deriving significant benefit from current 
ganaxolone adjunctive therapy. Subjects who have completed all scheduled clinical study 
visits in the previous protocol 1042-0603 and have shown a minimum 35% improvement 
in mean seizure frequency per 28-days vs. baseline over the three 28-day periods 
preceding study entry, and acceptable tolerability, are eligible to participate. Safety and 
tolerability will be assessed by diary record and at clinic visits approximately every four 
months.  During the study if the patient fails to continue to meet the minimum 
improvement criteria (mean 28-day seizure frequency over the past three 28-day periods 
before the study visit showing 35% improvement over baseline) at any study visit the 
investigator should consider discontinuing the patient from the study. Efficacy will 
primarily be assessed based on daily seizure calendar entries.  Baseline for evaluation of 
seizure frequency will be each subject's baseline from Study 1042-0603, though other 
calculations may also be performed. 
Adjunctive therapies (1-3 background AED medications, with or without implanted 
VNS) should be stable for the one month prior to study entry but may be adjusted as 
clinically warranted at other times during the study.  The dose of ganaxolone may be 
adjusted as minimum 3 day intervals as warranted for tolerability and efficacy, up to a 
maximum of 1800 mg/d.

Selection of Study Population 
8.3.1 
Number of Subjects:   
This study may treat up to approximately 350 subjects depending upon the number of 
subjects continuing from the previous Study 1042-0603. 
8.3.2 
Inclusion Criteria 
1. Subjects who have completed all scheduled clinical study visits in the previous 
protocol 1042-0603 and have shown a minimum 35% improvement in mean 28-
day seizure frequency over the last three 28-day periods in study 1042-603 as 
compared to the baseline of study 1042-0603. 
 
2. Subjects whose daily study drug compliance in Study 1042-0603 was 90% or 
greater, and for whom the investigator feels that the subject was compliant with 
the full dose as prescribed. 
 
3. Able to give informed consent in writing, or have a legally authorized 
representative able to do so, after being properly informed of the nature and risks 
of the study and prior to engaging in any study-related procedures. 
 
4. Currently being treated and maintained with a stable regimen of 1, 2, or 3 AEDs 
at a consistent dose for one month prior to study entry.  See Section 8.4.8 for 
restrictions on certain AEDs. 
 
5. Implanted VNS (Vagus Nerve Stimulator) is permitted and will not count towards 
the number of concomitant AEDs.   
6. Able and willing to maintain an accurate and complete daily written seizure 
calendar or has a caregiver who is able and willing to maintain an accurate and 
complete daily written seizure calendar. 
7. Able and willing to take drug with food twice daily. Ganaxolone must be 
administered with food. 
8. Sexually active women of childbearing potential (WCBP) must be using a 
medically acceptable method of birth control and have a negative pregnancy test 
at Visit 1 and at subsequent visits.  A woman of childbearing potential is defined 
as a female who is biologically capable of becoming pregnant.  A medically 
acceptable method of birth control includes intrauterine devices in place for at 
least 3 months, surgical sterilization, or adequate barrier methods (e.g., diaphragm 
and foam).  An oral contraceptive alone is not considered adequate for the 
purpose of this study.  Use of oral contraceptives in combination with another 
method (e.g., a spermicidal cream) is acceptable. In subjects who are not sexually 
active, abstinence is an acceptable form of birth control. Birth control should be 
continued for a minimum of 3 days after the last dose of study drug.

Removal of Subjects from Therapy or Assessments 
8.3.4.1 
Criteria for withdrawal 
All subjects reserve the right to withdraw from the clinical study at any time, as 
stated in the informed consent form (ICF).  The Investigator may discontinue 
subjects from the clinical study for any of the following reasons: 
1. QTc interval >500 msec or uncorrected QT interval >600 msec; for subjects 
with bundle branch block, QTc >530 msec based on average QTc value of 
triplicate ECGs. A subject with an increase in QTc of >60 msec from Visit 1 
must also be withdrawn. 
a. If an ECG indicates a QTc interval outside of these limits, then 2 
additional ECGs should be collected and the average QTc value of these 
3 ECGs will be used. If the average values of the triplicate ECGs exceed 
the stated limits, the subject must be withdrawn. 
2. Subject is found to have entered the clinical investigation in violation of the 
protocol; 
3. Subject requires the use of an unacceptable or contraindicated concomitant 
medication. Should a prohibited CYP 3A 4, 5, 7 inhibitor or inducer be 
required for short term treatment, the subject may be permitted to remain in 
the study with permission from the Sponsor's Medical Monitor. 
4. Use of benzodiazepines as rescue for innumerable seizure clusters more than 
three times in a 28-day period must be reviewed with Sponsor's Medical 
Monitor to assess suitability for continuation.  
5. Subject’s condition changes after entering the clinical investigation so that 
the subject no longer meets the inclusion criteria or develops any of the 
exclusion criteria; 
6. Subject is noncompliant with procedures set forth in the protocol in an 
ongoing or repeated manner; 
7. Subject experiences an adverse event (AE) that warrants withdrawal from 
the clinical investigation; 
8. Patient’s mean 28-day seizure rate over the past three 28-day periods before 
the study visit shows less than 35% improvement in comparison to the 
patient’s baseline in the 1042-603 study; 
9. It is the Investigator’s opinion that it is not in the subject’s best interest to 
continue in the study;

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
10. Any subject who exhibits any of the following will be immediately 
withdrawn from the clinical investigation: 
a. Clinically significant worsening of seizures as judged by Investigator 
or subject such that treatment outside of the protocol is assumed to 
be in the subject’s best interest. 
b. Two episodes of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) if not 
present in medical history. 
c. Status epilepticus at any time during the clinical investigation. 
d. Any Suicidal Behavior as classified by the Columbia Suicide 
Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) or a “yes” answer to questions 4 and 
5 in the Suicidal Ideation section of the C-SSRS. These patients 
should be referred to psychiatric evaluation immediately.  
 
11. Any subject who has the following liver enzyme findings should be 
immediately contacted and instructed to stop the study drug or start 
immediate down titration of the study drug 
 
a. ALT or AST > 8 x ULN 
b. ALT or AST > 5 x ULN for more than 2 weeks 
c. ALT or AST > 3 x ULN and total bilirubin > 2 x ULN 
d. ALT or AST > 3 ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, 
vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash or 
eosinophilia 
 
Patients with ALT or AST > 3 x ULN but < 8 x ULN and no clinical signs 
or symptoms indicating liver dysfunction can, at the discretion of the 
investigator, continue the intake of study drug with close monitoring.  
 
All patients who fall into either category (patients who must discontinue 
the study drug [a, b, c, and d] and who may continue the study drug with 
close monitoring) must be brought back to the study center without any 
delay, the next day if possible, but no later than 72 hours after the study 
results have been received, for evaluation of the underlying cause and 
confirmatory laboratory testing.  More frequent monitoring of the liver 
tests should be initiated.  
Discontinuation decisions will be made at each participating site by the Site Principal 
Investigator.  If feasible, the process of discontinuation should be discussed with the 
Medical Monitor. The decisions regarding the discontinuation of the investigational 
therapy, whether the study medication should be stopped immediately or tapered should 
be discussed with the Medical Monitor, but final decisions about the process will remain 
at the discretion of the Site Principal Investigator.

8.3.4.2 
Early Termination Procedures 
Any subject who informs the site of an intention to withdraw from the study, or any 
subjects who are discontinued prior to the end of the study, will be asked to 
complete the procedures for Visit 7 (Study Completion/Early Term) which include: 
concomitant AED review, vital signs, physical and neurological exams, laboratory 
assessments, ECG, pregnancy test, C-SSRS, collection of adverse events, CGI-I, 
PCGI-I and seizure calendar review.  The study drug will then be continuously 
tapered over one to two weeks, if possible, based on the dose and duration of 
treatment.  A post-taper safety follow-up visit would then be completed.  Subjects 
who are discontinued from the clinical investigation should return to their 
physician’s care and continue appropriate medical treatment.  Any AEs that have 
not resolved as of discontinuation will be followed until resolution. An end-of-study 
letter will be provided, if requested.  Any follow-up information that is available 
will be added to the case report form up until the time that the database is locked. 
8.3.4.3 
Consequences of Early Termination 
The protocol specifies dose de-escalation of study medication over one to two 
weeks depending upon dose and duration of treatment. This recommendation is 
based on cumulative evidence from various classes of CNS drugs that slow taper is 
beneficial. It is possible that abrupt cessation of the drug might cause 
discontinuation symptoms.  Every effort will be made to ensure implementation of 
the dose de-escalation.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
All study medication will be stored at the research pharmacy prior to dispensing, or in a 
locked cabinet accessible only to members of the investigative research team after the 
completion of each study visit. Study medication should be stored at room temperature 
15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). 
8.4.2 
Treatment Groups 
Starting at Visit 1, all subjects will take ganaxolone beginning with the dose currently 
being taken in the 1042-0603 study, between 900 - 1800 mg/d. 
8.4.3 
Subject Numbering 
Subjects will retain the 6-digit subject number assigned by each site’s study staff for 
preceding protocol 1042-0603. The subject’s number and initials (first/middle/last, in 
regions where permitted) are required to be entered on all clinical investigation 
documentation (i.e., CRFs, labeling of clinical materials and samples containers, drug 
accountability logs, etc.). 
8.4.4 
Selection of Doses in the Study 
In meeting efficacy and tolerability criteria to participate in the study, it is expected that 
the subject will continue with the dose of ganaxolone (between 900-1800 mg/d) last 
prescribed in Study 1042-0603. Changes at V1 can be addressed with the Sponsor's 
Medical Monitor.  During the study, the dose of ganaxolone may be adjusted at the 
Investigator’s discretion based on tolerability and efficacy between 900 and 1800 mg/d, 
typically on the MTD of ganaxolone that provides adequate seizure control.  Doses may 
be adjusted upward or downward in 225 mg/d increments every 3 days to reach an 
optimal dose level over the duration of the 52-week treatment period.  Dose adjustments 
should be made with the investigator’s agreement. Frequency of dosing changes may not 
be less than 3 days unless required for safety.  
De-escalation Period:  The study drug will be decreased in increments of 450mg/d in 4-
day intervals over 12 days for 1800 mg.  Decreases from doses less than 1800 mg will be 
adjusted accordingly (See Table 2).  The subject will return for final post-taper safety 
assessment visit. 
Details of the de-escalation regimen are provided in the table below.

Dose Administration 
Ganaxolone will be administered BID, 12 hours apart with food, i.e. 8:00 AM with 
breakfast and 8:00 PM after the evening meal.  A missed dose of study medication may 
be taken later up to 8 hours before the next scheduled dose, otherwise the missed dose 
should not be given (See Section 8.4.6 Missing a Dose).  It is important that ganaxolone 
be dosed with food. 
The dose of ganaxolone may be adjusted based upon tolerability or efficacy. Subjects 
experiencing intolerable AEs at any dose level may have the dose reduced per 
Investigator direction to attempt to alleviate the event.  See section 8.4.4 for dosage 
adjustments and de-escalation procedures. 
8.4.6 
Missing a Dose 
A missed dose of study medication may be taken up to 8 hours before the next scheduled 
dose; otherwise, the missed dose should not be given. For example, if a subject usually 
takes their doses at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM and forgets to take a 7:00 PM dose at

dinnertime, that dose may be taken up to 9:00 PM at night (2 hrs after the evening meal, 
more than 8 hours until the next 7:00 AM dose).  Alternatively, that dose could be taken 
until 11:00 PM at night with a small snack.   
Subjects should be instructed that if s/he misses 4 doses in a row or more, the site should 
be contacted to determine whether any adjustment in study medication is needed. 
8.4.7 
Blinding 
This study is not blinded so all subjects will receive active drug. All bottles will be 
labeled with a unique 6-digit number to help track study drug accountability, lot number, 
expiry date, and ganaxolone 225 mg capsules. 
8.4.8 
Excluded, Prior and Concomitant Medications 
Subjects participating in the study are to be taking 1-3 AEDs in addition to the 
investigational medication.  AEDs may be adjusted during the course of the study, but 
subjects must continue on at least on AED.  Marketed medications indicated for the 
treatment of partial seizures are acceptable with the exceptions noted below: 
Vigabatrin: Current use of vigabatrin (Sabril) is not permitted.  
Ezogabine (retigabine; Potiga; Trobalt): Current use of ezogabine (retigabine) is not 
permitted.  
Perampanel (Fycompa): Perampanel is permitted as a concomitant medication only if 
the subject has been on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to Visit 1 and has not 
experienced any serious psychiatric and behavioral reactions and is expected to remain on 
a constant dose throughout the study. 
Felbamate: Felbamate (Felbatol) is permitted as a concomitant medication only if the 
subject has been on felbamate for at least 18 months and has stable AST/ALTs and 
hematology laboratory tests and is expected to remain constant throughout the study. 
Benzodiazepines: If a subject is taking a benzodiazepine chronically for epilepsy and/or 
non-epilepsy conditions, it will be counted as 1 of the 3 AEDs. 
Vagal Nerve Stimulator: Subjects receiving treatment with a VNS may be included.  
VNS will not be counted as one of the 3 concomitant AEDs. 
8.4.9 
Excluded Concomitant Medications 
A list of medications that are inducers or inhibitors of CYP 3A4/5/7 and are not 
permitted during the study are in Appendix 2. Consult with your in-country Medical

Monitor if you have any questions. Note that phenytoin, carbamazepine and 
phenobarbital are permitted as background AEDs though they are moderate CYP 3A4 
inducers. Treatment with the 5-α-reductase inhibitor finasteride is not permitted during 
the study. 
Generally, concomitant medications including non-prescription medication can be used if 
medically necessary for indications that are not exclusionary in the protocol, and if the 
medication is not expected to interact with study medication nor to adversely impact the 
subject’s ability to comply with protocol requirements (such as keeping seizure calendar 
and clinic appointments.) The Investigator must make the decision to authorize the use of 
such a medication only after consideration of the clinical situation, the potential for 
masking symptoms of a more significant underlying event, and whether the use of the 
medication will compromise the outcome or validity of the clinical investigation. The 
Medical Monitor may be consulted for additional input.  If medication is required, the 
name, strength, frequency, and reason for use will be recorded in source documents and 
name and reason entered in the case report form (CRF). 
Benzodiazepines may be used intermittently (i.e., 1 to 2 doses over a 24-hour period) as 
rescue for the control of seizures. For subjects requiring benzodiazepine rescue more than 
once per 28-day period, the investigator will determine and document the benefit to the 
subject for remaining in the trial.  If a subject requires use of rescue benzodiazepines 3 
times or more during a 28-day period, the Sponsor's Medical Monitor should be 
consulted regarding the subject's continued participation. 
Use of dietary supplements or herbal preparations are permitted if subject has been using 
them consistently for more than 6 months prior to Visit 1, and does not plan changing the 
regimen for the duration of the study.  Changes may be made during the study at the 
discretion of the Principal Investigator.  Use of St. John’s Wort is not permitted (see 
Appendix 2 for prohibited medications). 
As with other AEDs, the concomitant use of ganaxolone and alcohol during the course of 
the study is not advised. The effects of ganaxolone in combination with alcohol are not 
known.

Treatment Compliance 
A record of all investigational products dispensed and returned will be maintained at each 
clinical site.  This record will include the date the investigational product is dispensed to 
a subject, initials of the individual dispensing investigational product, quantity dispensed 
(by unit), the date investigational product containers are returned from the subject, and 
the quantity returned. Investigational product and associated accountability forms that are 
maintained at the clinical site will be present for review by Clinical Investigation 
Monitors at each monitoring visit. 
At each visit all subjects will receive monthly Subject Seizure Calendars.  Subjects are to 
record administration of study drug and background AEDs on the Seizure Calendar.  
Compliance with study drug treatment will be assessed by inspecting the Subjects’ 
Seizure Calendars and returned supplies with queries as necessary.  If the subject is 
suspected to be non-compliant with study medication or seizure calendar recording, 
he/she may be discontinued from the study.

9.3 
Study Discontinuation 
The Sponsor has the right to terminate this study at any time.  Reasons for terminating the 
study may include the following: 
• Identification of new safety risk(s) or a change in the incidence or severity of 
known risk(s) of ganaxolone that indicates a potential health hazard to subjects. 
• Subject enrollment is unsatisfactory. 
• Data recording is inaccurate or incomplete. 
9.4 
Informed Consent 
Template ICFs will be provided to the site.  No major deviations should be made; all 
changes must be approved by the Sponsor. It is recommended that the Sponsor or its 
Designee review changes to the ICF template prior to IRB or EC submission. The final 
IRB-approved document must be provided to Sponsor or their designee for their records. 
Each subject or the subject’s legally authorized representative must be presented with the 
ICF, given an opportunity to ask questions, and must sign the ICF before the subject may 
participate in any study-related procedures or activities.  The consent process should be 
documented in the subject’s medical record. A signed copy of the ICF must be provided 
to the subject or the subject’s legally authorized representative.  When applicable, it will 
be provided in a certified translation of the local language. 
Signed consent forms must remain in each subject’s study file and must be available for 
verification by study monitors at any time. 
9.5 
Adverse Events 
The AE definitions and reporting procedures provided in this protocol comply with 
current CFR 21 Part 312.  The Medical Monitor assigned by the Sponsor must promptly 
review all information relevant to the safety of an investigational new product received 
from any source.  The Investigator will carefully monitor each subject throughout the 
study for possible AEs.  All AEs will be documented on CRFs designed specifically for 
this purpose, and will be followed until either completely resolved or until a stable 
chronic outcome is determined by the Investigator.  It is also important to report all AEs 
that result in permanent discontinuation of the investigational drug, whether serious or 
non-serious.

9.5.1 
Definitions 
Adverse event means any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug 
in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any 
unfavorable and unintended sign (including a clinically significant abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational 
product, whether or not considered related to the investigational product.  Any worsening 
of a preexisting condition (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency 
and/or intensity) which is temporally associated with the use of the investigational 
product, is also an adverse event. 
A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose 
(including overdose) that meets one or more of the following criteria: 
• Is fatal, as a direct outcome of the AE 
• Is life threatening 
This serious criterion applies if the subject, in the view of the Investigator, is at 
substantial risk of dying from the AE as it occurs.  It does not apply if an AE 
hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe. 
• Requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization 
This serious criterion applies if the reported AE necessitates an inpatient admission 
(in the US) or a minimum 24-hour inpatient hospitalization (outside US) or, if in the 
opinion of the Investigator, prolongs an existing hospitalization.  A hospitalization for 
an elective procedure, a routinely scheduled treatment or a social admission is not an 
SAE. 
• Results in permanent or significant disability/incapacity 
This serious criterion applies if the “disability” caused by the reported AE results in a 
substantial disruption of the subject’s ability to carry out normal life functions. 
• Results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
This serious criterion applies if a subject exposed to the investigational product gives 
birth to a child with congenital anomaly or birth defect. 
Important medical events that do not meet any of the criteria above may be considered 
serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the subject 
and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in 
this definition. Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring 
intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions

that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse.  
9.5.2 
Evaluating and Recording of Adverse Events 
At each visit all adverse events that are observed, elicited by the Investigator, or reported 
by the subject, will be recorded in the appropriate section of the AE CRF and evaluated 
by the Investigator. 
Minimum information required for each AE includes type of event, duration (start and 
end dates), severity, seriousness, causality to study drug, action taken, and outcome. 
Severity of AEs will be graded by the Investigator using the following criteria as 
guidelines: 
1.  Mild: 
Nuisance, barely noticeable. 
2.  Moderate: 
Uncomfortable, troublesome symptoms not significantly 
interfering with daily activities or sleep. 
3.  Severe: 
Symptoms significantly interfere with daily activities or sleep. 
 
The relationship of the AE to the study drug should be specified by the Investigator, 
using the following definitions: 
1.  Not Related: 
Concomitant illness, accident or event with no reasonable 
association with study drug. 
2.  Unlikely Related: 
The event has little or no temporal sequence from administration 
of the study drug, and/or a more likely alternative etiology exists. 
3.  Possibly Related: 
The event follows a reasonable temporal sequence from 
administration of study drug but which could also be explained 
by concurrent disease or other factors or medications. 
4.  Probably Related: 
The event follows a reasonable temporal sequence from 
administration of study drug, but is unlikely to be attributed 
to concurrent disease or other factors or medications. A clinically 
reasonable response may be observed if the study drug is 
withdrawn or dose reduced. 
5.  Definitely Related: the event follows a reasonable temporal sequence from 
administration of study drug and is definitive 
pharmacologically; cannot to be attributed to concurrent disease 
or other factors or medications. A clinically reasonable response

Protocol 1042-0604 Amendment 1 V1.0

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
should be observed if the study drug is withdrawn or dose 
reduced. 
 
If discernible at the time of completing an AE CRF, a specific disease or syndrome rather 
than individual associated signs and symptoms should be recorded on the AE CRF.  
However, if an observed or reported sign, symptom, or clinically significant laboratory 
anomaly is not considered by the Investigator to be a component of a specific disease or 
syndrome, then it should be recorded as a separate AE on the AE CRF (clinically 
significant laboratory abnormalities are those that are identified as such by the 
Investigator and/or those that require intervention). 
9.5.3 
Reporting of Adverse Events 
9.5.3.1 
Serious Adverse Events 
Any SAEs, including death due to any cause, which occurs to any subject who has signed 
Informed Consent (personally or by legally authorized representative) in this study or 
within 30 days following cessation of the last dose of treatment with the study drug, 
whether or not considered related to the investigational product, must be reported within 
24 hours to the Sponsor or their designee.  SAEs that occur more than 30 days after the 
last dose of study drug and are suspected to be related to study treatment should also be 
reported. All subjects with SAEs must be followed up for outcome. 
SAEs can be reported by faxing a completed SAE Fax Cover Sheet and serious adverse 
event CRF (SAE CRF) or by direct telephone communication to the SAE telephone 
reporting numbers below.  A completed SAE Fax Cover Sheet and SAE CRF should 
follow all telephone reports within 24 hours.   
 
SAE REPORTING 
If a fatal or imminently life-threatening SAE or a medical emergency occurs you may 
contact your local medical monitor or local team leader.  If they are not available contact 
the Global Study Leader or Study Team Physician noted below.

Pregnancy 
Although not considered an AE, it is the responsibility of the Investigator or their 
designees to report and record any pregnancy in a subject (whether spontaneously 
reported or identified via testing) that occurs during the study or within 14 days of 
completing the study.  Pregnancy will be documented in the AE CRF for purposes of 
reporting.  All subjects who become pregnant should be discontinued from the study and 
must be followed to the completion or termination of the pregnancy.  Efforts will be 
made to follow the newborn for at least 8 weeks post-delivery. The decision whether to 
taper the study medication is up to the discretion of the Investigator, taking into account 
the dose, duration of treatment, and other relevant factors. If the pregnancy continues to 
term, the outcome (health of infant) must also be reported to the Sponsor or their 
designee. 
9.6 
Study Monitoring and Audit Requirements 
Site visits will be conducted by the Sponsor or their representative to inspect all study 
related documentation and records including study data, subject’s medical records, CRFs, 
etc. 
The Principal Investigator will permit the Sponsor, their authorized representative 
including quality assurance groups, the USA FDA, EC/IRB, and the respective national 
and local authorities to inspect facilities and records relevant to this study. The

8.2 Discussion of 
Study Design, 
Paragraph 1, Line 8 
 
Added:  During the study if the patient 
fails to continue to meet the minimum 
improvement criteria (mean 28-day 
seizure frequency over the past three 28 
day periods before the study visit 
showing 35% improvement over 
baseline) at any study visit the 
investigator should consider 
discontinuing the patient from the study.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
Reason for Change:  Clarification of criteria for discontinuation. This criteria is intended to ensure that the 
patients are periodically assessed for benefits and risks of ganaxolone, and that the patients who no longer derive 
significant benefit from ganaxolone are considered for exclusion.

8.3.2 Inclusion 
Criteria 
1. Subjects who have completed all 
scheduled clinical study visits in the 
previous protocol 1042-0603 and have 
shown a minimum 35% improvement 
in mean seizure frequency per 28 days 
vs. baseline over the three 28 day 
periods preceding study entry.

8.3.2 Inclusion 
Criteria 
4. Currently being treated and 
maintained with a stable regimen of 1, 
2, or 3 AEDs at a consistent dose for 
one month prior to study entry. 
a.Felbamate: The use of felbamate is 
allowed provided that the subject has 
been maintained on a stable dose of 
felbamate for >18 months, and has had 
stable liver function (AST/ALT) and 
hematology during the course of 
treatment, and is expected to remain 
constant throughout the study. 
b.Perampanel: The use of perampanel 
is allowed provided that the subject has 
been maintained on a stable dose of 
perampanel for >3 months and has not 
experienced any serious psychiatric and 
behavioral reactions such as hostility- 
and aggression- related adverse reac 
4. Currently being treated and maintained 
with a stable regimen of 1, 2, or 3 AEDs 
at a consistent dose for one month prior 
to study entry. See Section 8.4.8 for 
restriction on certain AEDs. 
Deleted: a. & b. 
Reason for Change: This section was redundant with section 8.4.8 of the protocol. The criteria for using 
concomitant AEDs, including Felbamate and Perampanel, is explained in section 8.4.8.  
17 
8.3.3 Exclusion 
Criteria

appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, 
right upper quadrant pain or tenderness, 
fever, rash or eosinophilia 
Patients with ALT or AST .3xULN but 
<8xULN and no clinical signs or 
symptoms indicating liver dysfunction 
can, at the discretion of the investigator, 
continue the intake of study drug with 
close monitoring. 
All patients who fall into either category 
(patients who must discontinue the study 
drug [a, b c, and d] and who may 
continue the study with close monitoring) 
must be brought back to the study center 
without any delay, the next day if 
possible, but no later than 72 hours after 
the study results have been received, for 
evaluation of the underlying cause and 
confirmatory laboratory testing. More 
frequent monitoring of the liver tests 
should be initiated. 
 
Reason for Change: Subjects with <35% improvement in seizure frequency as compared to baseline: This 
criteria is intended to ensure that patients are periodically assessed for benefits and risks of ganaxolone, and that 
the patients who no longer derive significant benefit from ganaxolone are considered for exclusion.   C-SSRS: 
More specific guidance how to utilize the C-SSRS instrument in assessing risk for suicide is provided. 
Specifically, patients with any suicidal behavior and/or suicidal ideation with intent or plan (ideation questions 4 
and 5 in the C-SSRS) should be discontinued from the study and referred to psychiatric evaluation. Managing 
elevated LFTs: These stopping rules are intended to guide the investigator how to manage patients with elevated 
liver enzymes during the study. These stopping rules are in line with FDA’s recommendation on managing 
patients with elevated liver enzymes during clinical trials (Guidance for Industry: Drug-Induced Liver Injury: 
Premarketing Clinical Evaluation)

INTRODUCTION 
The purpose of this statistical analysis plan (SAP) is to describe the procedures and the statistical 
methods that will be used to analyze and report results for Protocol 1042-0604 (Amendment 1 
V1.0, 29 February, 2016). 
1.1 
STUDY OBJECTIVES 
1.1.1 
Primary Objective 
To assess the safety and tolerability of adjunctive ganaxolone during two-year open label 
treatment in adult subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures. 
1.1.2 
Secondary Objective 
To assess efficacy of adjunctive ganaxolone during a two-year open-label treatment in adult 
subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures. 
 
1.2 
STUDY ENDPOINTS 
1.2.1 
Safety Endpoints 
Safety endpoints include: 
• Adverse events (AEs) 
• Clinical laboratory tests  
• Vital signs  
• 12-lead ECG 
• Physical and neurological examinations 
• Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

SUMMARY OF THE STUDY DESIGN  
1.3.1 
General Study Design and Plan 
Study 1042-0604 is an open-label extension of Study 1042-0603, providing a two-year 
adjunctive ganaxolone treatment (900-1800 mg/d) to adult subjects with epilepsy consisting of 
partial-onset seizure (POS). Subjects who have completed all scheduled clinical study visits in 
the previous protocol 1042-0603 and have shown a minimum 35% improvement in mean seizure 
frequency per 28-days vs. baseline over the three 28-day periods preceding study entry, and 
acceptable tolerability, are eligible to participate.  
 
Subjects will enter the study at their current dose of ganaxolone from study 1042-0603. The dose 
of ganaxolone may be adjusted for tolerability and response.  Safety and tolerability will be 
assessed by diary record and at clinic visits approximately every four months. During the study if 
the patient fails to continue to meet the minimum improvement criteria (mean 28-day seizure 
frequency over the past three 28-day periods before the study visit showing 35% improvement 
over baseline) at any study visit the investigator should consider discontinuing the patient from 
the study. Efficacy will primarily be assessed based on daily seizure calendar entries.  
 
Baseline for safety and efficacy evaluations will be each subject's baseline from Study 1042-
0603.  
 
The Schedule of Events is presented in Table 1.

Randomization and Blinding 
This is an open-label extension study and no randomization was planned. 
 
1.3.3 
Sample Size and Statistical Power Considerations 
This is an open-label, long-term continuation study. Sample size will be determined by those 
eligible after successful completion of Study 1042-0603. 
 
2. 
STATISTICAL METHODS 
2.1 
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS 
In general, continuous variables will be summarized by number of subjects, mean, standard 
deviation (SD), median, minimum, and maximum values. Categorical variables will be 
summarized by counts and percentage of subjects in each category. If data is sparse, no summary 
table will be presented. Summary tables will present data by treatment received during the this 
study, i.e. Ganaxolone. Source data for the summary tables and statistical analyses will be 
presented as subject data listings, which include data collected on the electronic case report 
forms (eCRFs) as well as any derived variables for all enrolled subjects. 
Baseline seizure activity will be determined by 8 weeks of retrospective recording in subject 
daily seizure calendars in Study 1042-0603. 
 
Baselines for safety assessments are defined as the last non-missing value of the assessment 
before the first dose of treatment in Study 1042-0603.  
 
2.1.1 Reporting Precision 
Summary statistics will be presented to the following degree of precision, unless otherwise 
specified:

5. 
STUDY DRUG AND EXPOSURE 
5.1 
EXTENT OF EXPOSURE 
Exposure to study medication will be summarized as a continuous variable, via the number of 
days of drug taken. Ganaxolone will be administered BID following the morning and evening 
meals. A missed dose of study medication may be taken later up to 8 hours before the next 
scheduled dose; otherwise, the missed dose should not be given. Treatment exposure and 
treatment compliance will be summarized using the Safety population. 
• Treatment Exposure = the number of days of drug taken = drug stop date – start date + 1 
• Treatment Compliance %= [(drug stop date – start date) + 1 – number of days drug not 
taken] / [(drug stop date – start date) +1] x 100%. 
A subject data listing will be provided for study drug dispense and return. 
5.2 
PRIOR AND CONCOMITANT THERAPY 
Prior medications are defined as medications that started prior to the first dose of study drug in 
study 1042-0604. Concomitant medications are defined as medications (other than the study 
drug) taken on or after the first does of the study drug during the study. Medications started 
before the first dose of study drug and continuing at the time of the first dose of study drug are 
considered both prior medication and concomitant medication. Medications with complete 
missing start/end date are considered both prior and concomitant medications. 
All investigator terms for medications recorded on the CRF will be coded using the World Health 
Organization (WHO) Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) drug dictionary (Version WHO 
Drug Dictionary, March 2014).  The number (percentage) of subjects who took prior and 
concomitant medications will be summarized by treatment, i.e. Ganaxolone, in safety population, 
by ATC Classification and WHO Drug PT.  
A subject data listing of prior and concomitant therapy will be provided. 
To define prior or concomitant medication, the following table describes how missing date

6. 
EFFICACY ANALYSES 
All efficacy analyses will be performed for partial-onset seizure (POS) with or without secondary 
generalization only. POS seizures includes three seizure subtypes which are SPS-motor, CPS and 
SGTC.  
All efficacy data will be summarized by treatment, i.e. Ganaxolone, in FAP. 
 
6.1 
MAIN EFFICACY ANALYSIS 
The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage change in POS seizure frequency per 28-days 
relative to baseline in study 1042-0603. Post-baseline 28-day seizure frequency will be 
calculated as the total number of seizures in this open-label extension study (Study 1042-0604) 
divided by the number of days with available seizure data in the post-baseline period, multiplied 
by 28. Baseline 28-day seizure frequency will be calculated as the total number of seizures in the 
baseline period of Study 1042-0603 (≤ 56 days) divided by the number of days with available 
seizure data in the baseline period, multiplied by 28. The calculation for percent change from 
baseline in 28-day seizure frequency will be done as follows for each subject: 
 
 
The baseline, post-baseline, and percent change from baseline in 28-day seizure frequency will 
be summarized by treatment, i.e. Ganaxolone, in FAP. 
 
A subject data listing will be provided. 
 
6.2 
OTHER EFFICACY ANALYSIS 
 
6.2.1 
Responder rate, Proportion of subjects with >=50% reduction in 28-day seizure 
frequency compared with baseline.  
A 50% responder is an individual whose reduction of percent change from baseline to the end of 
the open label extension period in 28-day POS seizure frequency is greater than or equal to 50%. 
The number and percentage of responders will be summarized.  
 
A subject data listing will be provided. 
6.3

7. 
SAFETY ANALYSIS 
All safety analyses will be performed by treatment, i.e. Ganaxolone, in the Safety Population.  
Safety assessments include: 
• AE  
• Clinical laboratory tests  
• Vital signs including temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, and weight 
• 12-lead ECG 
• Physical and neurological  examinations 
• Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) 
 
Baseline is defined as the last non-missing value obtained before the first treatment in the 
preceding Study 1042-0603.  
 
7.1 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
Adverse events (AEs) will be coded by System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT) 
using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA®, version 16.0/AECODE). 
The verbatim term will be included in the AE listings. 
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an AE that occur or worsen on or after 
the first dose of study drug in Study 1042-0604 and before the end of the  study (including the 
safety follow-up period). Only TEAEs will be included in summary tables. All AEs, treatment 
emergent or otherwise, will be presented in subject data listings. 
The TEAEs will be summarized as the number (percentage) of subjects with TEAEs within SOC 
and PT.  Subjects who report the same PT on multiple occasions will be counted once for the PT: 
under the highest severity (severe > moderate > mild) when summarized by severity and under 
the closest relationship (related > probably related > possibly related > unlikely related > Not 
related) to study drug when summarized by relationship. If a subject reports multiple PT for a 
SOC, the subject will be counted only once for that SOC. Treatment related AEs are defined as 
those events recorded on the CRF as ‘Related’, ‘Probably Related’ or ‘Possibly Related’, others 
will not be related AEs. 
TEAEs will be summarized as below.  
• An overview table, including number of subjects with  
o TEAEs 
o serious AEs (SAEs) 
o study drug related TEAEs 
o TEAEs by severity

SUMMARY OF MAJOR CHANGES IN THE PLANNED ANALYSES 
Below changes from protocol have been made in the SAP. 
 
Safety Endpoints: 
Due to early termination of the study and low patient numbers 12-lead ECG and Neurological 
Examination results will only be reported in listings. C-SSRS data were collected in eCRF and 
will be reported as one of the safety endpoints.  
 
Efficacy Endpoints: 
Due to early termination of the study and low patient numbers seizure free intervals and seizure 
free days will not be derived and the Clinician's Global Impression of Improvement, and the 
Patient/Caregiver Global Impression of Improvement results will only be reported in listings 
 
To avoid confusion, protocol defined primary and secondary efficacy endpoints are re-named as 
main and other efficacy endpoints, respectively, to clarify that the primary objective of the study 
is to assess the safety and tolerability of adjunctive ganaxolone during two-year open-label 
treatment in adult subjects with drug-resistant partial-onset seizures.
