Conditions: Cancer of the Prostate
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 34
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of BHR-200 (0.36% transdermal estradiol gel) compared to placebo for the maintenance of testosterone (T) suppression in men with advanced androgen-sensitive prostate cancer.

Detailed description:
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose finding study in men with advanced androgen-sensitive prostate cancer. Patients who give informed consent will have screening evaluations, and if fulfilling the entry criteria, will be randomized to one of 4 treatment groups: 1mL, 2mL or 3mL of 0.36% BHR-200 (transdermal estradiol gel) or Placebo. Study drug will be initiated on the day they were scheduled to receive next depot GnRH agonist injection. Patients will be offered low-dose radiation to aid in the prevention of gynecomastia. Patients will apply the study drug once per day. The first dose of study gel will be applied under the supervision of the PI/designee. Subsequent doses will be self-administered daily by the patient until he is no longer chemically castrated (testosterone levels increase above 50 ng/dL), a rise over baseline PSA of \> 0.5 ng/mL is observed, or he has completed 52 weeks of study drug administration. At the conclusion of study participation, patients will be advised to resume standard of care treatment under the supervision of their healthcare provider. While on treatment, patients will be evaluated at Day 1 and every 2 weeks, for the first 24 weeks and every 4 weeks thereafter with a final post-treatment follow-up visit 2 weeks (+/- 1 week) post last dose administration.

Arms:
arm 1: 3 mg estradiol per 1 mL 0.36% BHR-200 (transdermal 17β-estradiol gel) applied daily to the skin for up to 52 weeks. arm 2: 6 mg estradiol per 2 mL 0.36% BHR-200 (transdermal 17β-estradiol gel) applied daily to the skin for up to 52 weeks. arm 3: 9 mg estradiol per 3 mL 0.36% BHR-200 (transdermal 17β-estradiol gel) applied daily to the skin for up to 52 weeks. arm 4: 1, 2 or 3 mL of Placebo gel containing 0 mg estradiol applied daily for up to 52 weeks.

Interventions: intervention 1: BHR-200 (0.36% transdermal 17β-estradiol gel) intervention 2: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: An absorptive hydroalcoholic gel preparation containing 17β-estradiol. intervention 2: An absorptive hydroalcoholic gel preparation gel of the same ingredients as BHR-200, but without 17β-estradiol.

INTRODUCTION  
This document presents the statistical analysis plan (SAP) for Study BHR200-201, a randomized, 
double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study of BHR-200 (0.36% transdermal estradiol gel) 
for the maintenance of testosterone suppression in men with advanced androgen-sensitive prostate 
cancer.  A total of 34 study subjects were randomized at 7 centers in the US before study 
termination. 
The planned analyses identified in this SAP may be included in regulatory submissions and/or future 
manuscripts.  Exploratory analyses, not identified in this SAP, may be performed to support the 
clinical development program.  Any post-hoc, or unplanned, analyses that are performed but not 
identified in this SAP will be clearly identified in the clinical study report (CSR).  The structure and 
content of this SAP provides sufficient detail to meet the requirements identified by the Food and 
Drug Administration ( FDA) and International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical 
Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH): Guidance on Statistical 
Principles in Clinical Trials  
Hedlund, P.O. (2000). Side effects of endocrine treatment and their mechanisms: castration, 
antiandrogens, and estrogens. Prostate Suppl., 10, 32-37. 
 [ICH, 2005]. 
This study was discontinued prematurely by the sponsor because of slow enrollment.

STUDY OBJECTIVES 
3.1 
Primary objective 
 To evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different doses of BHR-200 (0.36% transdermal 
estradiol gel) compared to placebo for the maintenance of testosterone (T) suppression in men 
with advanced androgen-sensitive prostate cancer. 
3.2 
Secondary objectives 
 To select the dose(s) for a subsequent Phase 3 trial.

STUDY OVERVIEW 
4.1 
Study design 
This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding study in men 
with advanced androgen-sensitive prostate cancer. Patients participated in a 24-week double-blind 
treatment period and were allowed to continue treatment with their assigned study drug for up to 52 
weeks as long as they remained chemically castrated. Patients who gave informed consent had 
screening evaluations, and if fulfilling the entry criteria, were randomized to one of 4 treatment 
groups: 1mL, 2mL or 3mL of 0.36% BHR-200 (transdermal estradiol gel) or placebo. Study drug 
was initiated on the day (+/- 5 days) they would be scheduled to receive the next GnRH agonist 
depot injection. Patients were offered low-dose radiation to aid in the prevention of gynecomastia. 
Patients applied the study drug once per day. The first dose was applied under the supervision of the 


BHR Confidential 
Page 9 of 17 
PI/designee. Subsequent doses were self-administered daily by the patient until one of the following 
occurred: 
 he was no longer chemically castrated as demonstrated by testosterone levels greater than or 
equal to 50 ng/dL,  
 a rise in PSA over baseline of ≥0.5 ng/mL was observed, 
 he had completed 24 weeks of double blind treatment, and elected not to continue into the 
extension period, or 
 he had completed 52 weeks of study drug administration. 
 
At the conclusion of study participation, patients were advised to resume standard of care treatment 
under the supervision of their healthcare provider. While on treatment, patients were evaluated at 
Day 1, every 2 weeks, for the first 24 weeks, and every 4 weeks thereafter, with a final post-
treatment follow-up visit 2 weeks (+/- 2 days) post last dose administration. 
 
4.2 
Study Drug Administration 
 
The 0.36% BHR-200 gel formulation contains 3.6 mg/g estradiol in a clear, colorless, absorptive 
hydroalcoholic gel base formulated to provide continuous release of estradiol. BHR-200 was 
supplied in a non-aerosol canister with a 1mL metered-dose pump. A single pump actuation 
delivered 3 mg of estradiol in 0.87 g of gel. The gel was applied to clean, dry, intact skin of the upper 
arms and shoulders. 
4.3 
Sample Size and Power Analysis 
 
The planned sample size was 120 male patients. Assuming the response rate (the proportion of 
patients maintaining castrate levels of T (T < 50 ng/dL) for the placebo group was 5%, the response 
rate for the low dose group of BHR-200 was 50%, the response rate for the mid dose group was 
80%, and the response rate for the high dose group of BHR-200 was 95%, 30 patients per treatment 
group provided at least 90% power to detect the difference in proportion of patients maintaining 
castrate levels of T (T < 50 ng/dL) between any dose of BHR-200-treated patients and the placebo-
treated patients using a two-sided Fisher-Exact test with a 5% significance level. 
 
However, this study was discontinued prematurely by the sponsor. A final total of 34 study subjects 
will be included in the analyses.   
4.4 
Randomization and Blinding 
 
All site personnel were blinded to treatment assignment. The Investigator (or designee) was 
responsible for drug accountability and dispensing of the study drug. In the case of an AE or serious 
adverse event (SAE) for which the Investigator must know a specific treatment allocation to ensure 
the patient’s safety, unblinding of treatment assignment was permitted. Instructions for “breaking the 
blind” were provided to the Investigator. It should be stressed that unblinding the treatment 
allocation was only allowed for safety concerns in an emergency situation. If time allowed, the 
Investigator was encouraged to discuss the matter with the study Medical Monitor prior to “breaking 
the blind” whenever possible. If possible, the relationship of the AE to the study drug was to be 
assessed before the treatment code was broken. In all cases, the Medical Monitor was to be notified 
within 24 hours after the code had been broken. If the treatment assignment was unblinded, study 
drug was permitted to be discontinued at the Investigator’s discretion. Please note that patient 110-
001 withdrew from the study and was unblinded on 5/13/16.

ANALYSIS ENDPOINTS 
5.1 
Efficacy Endpoints 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint: 
 
The primary efficacy endpoint is the response rate (the proportion of patients maintaining castrate 
levels of T (T < 50 ng/dL)). The primary analysis on the primary efficacy endpoint is to compare the 
response rate from each of the 3 BHR-200 dose levels against the response rate for the placebo-
treated patients at Week 12. 
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints: 
 
(1) The response rate at Week 24. The same statistical analysis method that applied to Week 12 
analysis will be used for Week 24. 
(2) The Kaplan-Meier curve for time to T > 50 ng/dL through Week 12 for each treatment group. 
(3) The Kaplan-Meier curve for time to T > 50 ng/dL through Week 24 for each treatment group. 
Exploratory Endpoints: 
 
All other efficacy parameters (e.g., FSH, LH, SHBG, and PSA) will be summarized by treatment 
group at each study visit using descriptive statistics. Serum levels of estradiol and estrone will be 
summarized by treatment group at each study visit using descriptive statistics. The Expanded 
Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)-Hormonal Assessment and the EPIC-Sexual Assessment 
will be summarized by treatment group at each study visit using descriptive statistics. 
 
5.2 
Safety Endpoints

ANALYSIS POPULATIONS  
6.1 
Intent-to-treat (ITT) population 
 
The Intent-to-treat (ITT) population will contain all patients who are randomized into the study. All 
efficacy parameters will be analyzed using the ITT population. In the case of a patient who was 
randomized but did not take the study drug, the analysis will be done for this patient using the 
randomized treatment. 
 
6.2 
Safety population 
 
The Safety population will contain all patients who receive at least one dose of study drug. 
All safety parameters will be analyzed using the Safety population.   
 
7 
DATA AND ANALYSIS CONVENTIONS 
Post-text tables and listings will be prepared in accordance with the current ICH Guidelines.  The 
information and explanatory notes to be provided in the “footer” or bottom of each table and listing 
will include the following information: 
1. Date and time of output generation; 
2. SAS program name, including the path that generates the output; 
3. Any other output-specific details that require further elaboration. 
In general, tables will be formatted with a column for each treatment group.  The tables for baseline 
data will be formatted with an additional column displaying the findings for all subjects combined. In 
general, Row entries in tables are made only if data exists for at least one subject (i.e., a row with all 
zeros will not appear).  The exception to this rule applies to tables that list the termination status of 
subjects (e.g., reasons for not completing the study).  In this case, zeros will appear for study 
termination reasons that no subject satisfied.  The summary tables clearly indicate the number of 
subjects to which the data apply and unknown or not performed are distinguished from missing data. 
Specific algorithms are discussed for imputing missing or partially missing dates, if deemed 
appropriate, under specific data topics.  Imputed or derived data are flagged in the individual subject 
data listings.  Imputed data are not incorporated into any raw or primary datasets.  These data are 
retained in derived (or analysis) datasets. 
This section details general conventions to be used for the statistical analyses.  The following 
conventions will be applied to all data presentations and analyses. 
 Summary statistics will consist of the number and percentage of responses in each level for 
categorical variables, and the sample size (n), mean, median, standard deviation (SD) and 
range (i.e. minimum and maximum values) for continuous variables. 
 All mean and median values will be formatted to one more decimal place than the measured 
value.  Standard deviation values will be formatted to two more decimal places than the 
measured value.  Minimum and maximum values will be presented with the same number of 
decimal places as the measured value. 
 The number and percentage of responses will be presented in the form XX (XX.X). 


BHR Confidential 
Page 12 of 17 
 All p-values will be rounded to 4 decimal places.  All p-values that round to 0.0000 will be 
presented as ‘<0.0001’ and p-values that round to 1.0000 will be presented as ‘>0.9999’.     
 All summary tables will include the analysis population sample size (i.e., number of 
subjects). 
 Study Day 1 is defined as the date at which the subject receives the first application of the 
study drug.  All study days are determined relative to Day 1.  Relative days will be calculated 
as: 
 
Relative Day = Assessment Date – First Application Date+1. 
 
 Baseline values will be defined as those values recorded closest to, but prior to, the study 
drug on Day1 unless otherwise specified in the protocol.  
 Change from baseline will be calculated as follows:  
Change = Post-baseline value  baseline value. 
 
 Date variables will be formatted as YYYY-MM-DD for presentation. 
 Tables, figures, and listings will be presented in landscape orientation. 
 SAS Version 9.4 or higher will be the statistical software package used for all data analyses.   
 All data from this study will be presented in a listing.  All listings will be sorted by subject 
number and visit date, as applicable.   
 Table and listing numbering will follow ICH guidelines for post-text table and listing 
numbering.   
7.1 
Visit windows 
 For the statistical analyses, data will be analyzed by their target date and time.   
7.2 
Missing Data 
Missing values will not be imputed by estimated values, but treated as missing in the statistical 
evaluation.  All data from all subjects dosed in the study will be included in all listings, plots, 
summary tables, and statistical analyses when appropriate. 
7.3 
Post-baseline repeated or unscheduled data 
Repeated or unscheduled data post study drug administration will not be used for data analysis, 
except for summary tables of the numbers of subjects with notable values of vital signs, physical 
examination data, and ECG data.  All repeated or unscheduled data will be reported in data listings. 
8 
SUBJECT ACCOUNTING AND STUDY DISPOSITION 
A complete accounting of subject participation in the study will be summarized in a table.  The 
purpose of this table is to provide an accounting of subjects from their entrance into the study (after 
signing informed consent) through their final visit and to account for subject evaluation in major 
analyses of safety, including reasons for early study termination.  The table will display the number 
of subjects that were enrolled in the study and the number and percentage of subjects who: 
 withdrew prior to dosing, 


BHR Confidential 
Page 13 of 17 
 are included in the safety population  
 completed or did not complete the study.   
 For those subjects who did not complete the study, the reason for their non-completion, 
noting the number and percentage of subjects for each reason.

BASELINE SUBJECT DATA 
9.1 
Demographic and Other Baseline Characteristics 
Demographic information and other baseline characteristics will be presented using descriptive 
statistics for the Safety population.  Demographic variables will include age, gender, race and 
ethnicity.  Age will be calculated as the age in years from the birth date to the informed consent date 
and will be rounded down to the nearest integral value.  Other baseline characteristics will include 
height, weight, and body mass index (BMI).  
9.2 
Medical History 
Medical history will be summarized using counts and percentages for the Safety population, and will 
be mapped to preferred terms and System Organ Class (SOC) using the Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding dictionary.  The terms will be presented in alphabetical 
order.  Subjects reporting more than one condition in a category will be counted only once for that 
category.   
The subject’s ADT history will be summarized.  
 
10 
PRIOR AND CONCOMITANT MEDICATIONS/NON-DRUG 
THERAPIES AND PROCEDURES  
Prior medications are medications that are taken and stopped prior to the first application of the study 
drug.  Concomitant medications are those medications that are ongoing at or started after the first 
application of the study drug.  Prior and concomitant medications will be coded using the 
Anatomical-Therapeutic-Chemical (ATC) classification text from the WHO Drug Dictionary.  
Medications will be presented by ATC Class and Preferred Term.  Prior and concomitant 
medications will be summarized for the Safety population.  Subjects will only be counted one time in 
each unique ATC Class and Preferred Term category.   
If the medication start date is completely missing then the medication will be considered concomitant 
unless it can be determined that the medication end date occurred prior to the start of the study.  If 
the medication start date is partially missing and the partial date is not sufficient to determine if the 
medication was taken after the start of the study, then the medication will be considered concomitant 
for the study unless it can be ruled out by the partial date and/or medication end date. 
The non-drug therapies and procedures will be mapped to preferred terms and SOC using the 
Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding dictionary.

EFFICACY 
Since the study was stopped prematurely, no planned inferential efficacy analyses will be performed 
for all of the efficacy parameters.  However, the all efficacy endpoints including primary, secondary 
and exploratory parameters (e.g., FSH, LH, SHBG, and PSA) will be summarized by treatment 
group at each study visit using descriptive statistics. Serum levels of estradiol and estrone will also 
be summarized by treatment group at each study visit using descriptive statistics. The Expanded 
Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)-Hormonal Assessment and the EPIC-Sexual Assessment 
will be summarized by treatment group at each study visit using descriptive statistics. 
  
12 
SAFETY  
Safety will be measured by the incidence of AEs, changes in vital signs and clinical safety laboratory 
results, and electrocardiogram results.  All safety analysis will be conducted in the Safety population. 
For safety data, the last non-missing pre-administration observation will be used as the baseline 
value for calculating post-administration changes from baseline.  In all summary tables the data will 
be presented by study dose group.  
12.1 
Exposure to Study Drug 
The number of applications of study drug administered and the total weight of gel applied to each 
subject will be summarized descriptively by dose group for the Safety population.  
12.2 
Vital Signs 
Vital sign parameters include systolic and diastolic blood pressure, body weight, height, BMI, 
respiration rate, temperature, and heart rate.  Vital sign values and changes from baseline in these 
parameters will be presented using descriptive summaries by visit.   
A shift from baseline analysis of abnormalities (normal, abnormal/clinically significant, and 
abnormal/ not clinically significant) will also be presented by counts and percentages at each post-
administration visit and in an overall view regardless of post-administration assessment time point. 
In addition, at each time point, the sums of subjects with normal, abnormal CS, and abnormal NCS 
values at that time point will be summarized. Also, at each time point the sums of subjects with 
normal, abnormal CS, and abnormal NCS values at baseline and values at that time point will be 
summarized.   
  
12.3 
12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
A 12-lead ECG was to be performed at Screening and at Week 12, 24, 36, 48, 52, 54/EOS. 
ECG parameters include PR interval (msec), QRS interval (msec), RR interval (msec), QT interval 
(msec), and QTc interval (msec).  ECG values and changes from baseline will be presented using 
descriptive summaries by visit.   
A shift from baseline analysis of abnormalities (normal, abnormal/clinically significant, and 
abnormal/ not clinically significant) will also be presented by counts and percentages at each post-
administration visit and in an overall view regardless of post-administration assessment time point. 
In addition, at each time point, the sums of subjects with normal, abnormal CS, and abnormal NCS 
values at that time point will be summarized. Also, at each time point the sums of subjects with 


BHR Confidential 
Page 15 of 17 
normal, abnormal CS, and abnormal NCS values at baseline and values at that time point will be 
summarized.   
   
12.4 
Physical Examination  
Physical examination results will be summarized at each visit as normal, abnormal/clinically 
significant or abnormal/not clinically significant, and compared in a shift analysis to the baseline 
result for each physical examination category and in an overall view regardless of post-
administration assessment time point. In addition, at each time point, the sums of subjects with 
normal, abnormal CS, and abnormal NCS values at that time point will be summarized. Also, at each 
time point the sums of subjects with normal, abnormal CS, and abnormal NCS values at baseline and 
values at that time point will be summarized.   
  
12.5 
Adverse Events 
Adverse events (AEs) will be mapped to preferred terms and SOC using the MedDRA coding 
dictionary.  
Summaries of AEs will be also presented based on treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs), defined as 
AEs that begin (or if preexisting medical conditions that worsen) after receiving the first application 
of the study drug. If the adverse event start date is partially or completely missing then the adverse 
event will be considered treatment-emergent.   
The number and percentage of subjects experiencing AEs will be summarized by SOC and preferred 
term.  Subjects will be counted only once at the SOC level and will be counted once for each 
applicable preferred term; multiple occurrences of the same preferred term for a subject will be 
counted only once.  SOCs, and preferred terms within SOC, will be displayed alphabetically.  
Similarly, AEs leading to discontinuation from the study will be presented by SOC and preferred 
term as well.  The treatment-related AEs, defined as AEs with relationship of ‘Possibly’ or 
‘Probably’ related to the study treatment, will be summarized by SOC and preferred term.   
Summaries by SOC and preferred term and maximum intensity or relationship to study treatment 
will also be provided for AEs. A summary by SOC and preferred term and maximum intensity will 
be provided for treatment-related AEs as well. Subjects with multiple occurrences of the same SOC 
or preferred term will be summarized at the maximum intensity or the strongest relationship to study 
treatment reported for that adverse event.  If a subject has an AE with unknown intensity, then the 
subject will be counted in the intensity category of “Severe”.  If a subject has an AE with unknown 
relationship to study treatment, then the subject will be counted in the relationship category of 
“Related” even if the subject has another occurrence of the same event with a relationship to study 
treatment. 
Additionally, the number and percentage of subjects experiencing AEs will be summarized by 
preferred term in an order of decreasing frequency. 
The number and percentage of subjects experiencing serious AEs will be summarized by SOC and 
preferred term.   
An overall summary table of the adverse events will be produced.  This table displays the number 
and percentage of subjects who: 
 have any treatment emergent adverse events 
 have any treatment emergent adverse events at least possibly related to the study drug  


BHR Confidential 
Page 16 of 17 
 have any treatment emergent adverse events presented by maximum intensity 
 have any treatment emergent serious adverse events 
 have any treatment emergent serious adverse events at least possibly related to the 
administration of the study drug 
 have any treatment emergent adverse events leading to discontinuation from the study 
 have any treatment emergent adverse events leading to death 
 have any treatment emergent adverse events leading to death that are at least possibly related 
to administration of the study drug. 
 
12.6 Clinical Laboratory Parameters 
 
Shift analysis (High/Normal/Low), compared to the baseline result, at each visit and an overall view 
regardless of post-administration assessment time point, and descriptive statistics for the central

QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE 
The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) was developed by researchers at the 
University of Michigan and UCLA to measure health related quality of life among men with prostate 


BHR Confidential 
Page 17 of 17 
cancer (Wei et.al. 2000). Response options for each EPIC item form a Likert scale, and multi-item 
scale scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing better health 
related quality of life (HRQOL). The EPIC-Hormonal Assessment and the EPIC-Sexual Assessment 
will be summarized by treatment group at each study visit using descriptive statistics.  
 
13.1 EPIC – Hormonal Component 
The EPIC – Hormonal Assessment is a 6-question survey designed to measure the Quality of Life 
(QoL) issues specific to hormonal function in patients with prostate cancer. 
 
13.2 EPIC – Sexual Component 
The EPIC – Sexual Assessment is a 9-question survey designed to measure the Quality of Life (QoL) 
issues specific to sexual function and sexual satisfaction in patients with prostate cancer. 
 
14 
OPTIONAL LOW-DOSE RADIATION 
Patients were offered optional low-dose radiation for the prevention of gynecomastia (Hedlund 2000, 
Widmark et. al. 2003). Timing of the administration of the low-dose radiation was at the discretion 
of the Investigator. Data collected on the CRF will be presented in a data listing.
