Synopsis
Protocol Title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Fixed-Dose Study of AGN-241751 in 
Adult Participants with Major Depressive Disorder
Protocol Number: 3125-201-002
Brief Title: AGN-241751 in the treatment of major depressive disorder 
Study Phase: 2a
Study Rationale:
AGN-241751 is a functional modulator of the N-methyl D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) with 
partial agonist properties. In rodent models of depression, AGN-241751 elicited potent, rapid, 
and long-lasting antidepressant activity without adverse central nervous system (CNS) effects. 
AGN-241751 is an orally bioavailable small molecule with NMDAR partial co-agonist 
pharmacology. Thus, it represents a novel pharmacology that may address a significant unmet 
need with minimal side effects and the feasibility of an oral dosage form. This is a 
proof-of-concept study of AGN-241751 monotherapy in the treatment of major depressive 
disorder (MDD).
Objectives and Endpoints:
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy, as measured by improvement in Montgomery-
Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score, at 1 day post initial oral dose of 
AGN-241751 compared with placebo in participants with MDD. The key secondary objective is 
to evaluate the efficacy at Week 3 of AGN-241751 administered orally once a week compared 
with placebo in participants with MDD.

The framework of estimands for this study is presented in Section 10.1
Overall Study Design:
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind (with a single-blind placebo lead-in), 
placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose, 3-week study in participants with MDD. The 
study will include a total of 10 visits and will be approximately 5 weeks in duration: 
•
Up to 1-week screening period 
•
3-week double-blind treatment period 
•
1-week safety follow-up period 
After providing written consent, participants will enter a single-blind placebo lead-in screening 
period of up to 7 days. Screening procedures may be conducted on up to 2 separate dates 
where necessary to accommodate participant and site schedule; however, every effort 
should be made to conduct all procedures as early as possible in the screening period and 
the rater-administered MADRS and computer-administered MADRS must be collected on 
the same date. Participants will receive single-blind placebo during the screening period. 
Participants meeting the eligibility criteria at the end of Visit 2 (Baseline) will be assigned a 
treatment by the interactive web response system (IWRS) and enter the double-blind treatment 
period.
Approximately 250 participants are planned for enrollment in the double-blind treatment period 
(50 participants each in the AGN-241751 and placebo groups). Participants will be randomized 
in a ratio of 1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of 5 treatment groups: 0.25-mg, 1-mg, 3-mg, 10-mg dose 
AGN-241751 and placebo. 
Aside from the single-blind screening period and double-blind treatment period, there is an 
additional single-blind element to this study (blinded to the participant). AGN-241751 is being 
developed for once-weekly dosing; however, in order to minimize participant’s expectations and 
control for placebo response, treatment will be presented to participants as oral daily dosing. 
Each treatment kit (dispensed once weekly) in the double-blind treatment period will contain 
2 bottles: Bottle 1 will contain a single dose of double-blind study treatment and Bottle 2 will 
contain multiple doses of single-blind placebo tablets (blinded to the participant). At Visit 2 
(Day 1), Visit 5 (Day 8), and Visit 8 (Day 15), site staff will give the participant the single dose 
of double-blind study treatment from Bottle 1 to take by oral ingestion in the clinic (ie, the first 
dose of study treatment for that week). Site staff will give Bottle 2, which contains the 
single-blind placebo tablets, to the participant with the instruction to take 1 tablet daily by oral 
ingestion for the remainder of that week. To maintain consistency, study treatment at Visit 1 
(single-blind placebo lead-in) will be dispensed in the same manner; the single dose of 
single-blind study treatment from Bottle 1 will be given to the participant for oral ingestion in the 
clinic, and then, Bottle 2 containing single-blind placebo tablets will be dispensed for the 
participant to take 1 tablet daily by oral ingestion through the remainder of the week.
During the first 2 weeks of the double-blind treatment period, participants will have 3 study 
visits per week. The visits will occur in the following pattern: in-clinic treatment day, 1 day 


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
10
following the in-clinic treatment day, 4 days following the in-clinic treatment day, and 7 days 
following the in-clinic treatment day (which is the next in-clinic treatment day). If necessary, 
study visits may be conducted up to 2 days before or after the scheduled visits with the exception 
of visits that are 1 day apart (ie, Visits 2 and 3 must be conducted 1 day apart; and Visits 5 and 6 
must be conducted 1 day apart). Visit 8 will be conducted 7 days following the second in-clinic 
treatment day. All participants who receive study treatment must complete Visit 9/Early 
Termination (ET) Visit. Participants will enter a 1-week safety follow-up period and return for 
Visit 10. Participants who prematurely discontinue from the study before completing 3 weeks of 
double-blind treatment should enter the 1-week safety follow-up period. Additional follow-up 
visits may be scheduled within 30 days, if necessary for safety reasons.
Number of Participants:
Approximately 250 participants who meet eligibility criteria at Visit 2 (Baseline) will be 
randomly assigned to study treatment such that approximately 50 participants per arm will be 
allocated in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio.
Treatment Groups and Study Duration:
Treatment Groups: AGN-241751 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, and 10 mg, and placebo
Study Duration: approximately 5 weeks
Dosage Regimen: 
During the lead-in screening period of up to 7 days, participants will take 1 single-blind placebo 
tablet by oral ingestion once daily; the first dose will be administered in the clinic.
During the 3-week double-blind treatment period, a single tablet of double-blind study treatment 
(placebo, AGN-241751 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, or 10 mg) will be administered orally once weekly 
in the clinic. A bottle of single-blind placebo tablets (blinded to the participant) will be dispensed 
for the participant to take 1 tablet once daily by oral ingestion through the remainder of that 
corresponding week.
Number of Sites:
Approximately 20 sites in the United States

Introduction
Disease Burden of Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly disabling, serious condition which is associated 
with significant morbidity and mortality. MDD manifests as a major depressive episode (which 
may be singular or recurrent) in which the affected individual experiences 1) depressed mood, or 
2) loss of interest or pleasure (as well as other symptoms) for most of the day, nearly every day, 
for at least 2 weeks. MDD affects approximately 14.8 million American adults, or about 6.7% of 
the US population 18 years of age and older, in a given year (Kessler 2005). Worldwide, about 
15% of the adult population is at lifetime risk of developing MDD (Kessler 1994).
Depression may cause serious, long-lasting symptoms and often disrupts a person’s ability to 
perform routine tasks. In 2000, unipolar depressive disorders were by far the leading cause 
(11.9%) of worldwide years of life lived with disability (World Health Organization, 2001), and 
the total economic burden of treating depression in the United States was $83.1 billion, with 
workplace costs, including missed days and lack of productivity due to illness, accounting for 
most of the total economic burden (62%). Other economic burdens in 2000 included 
$26.1 billion (31%) for treatment costs and $5.4 billion (7%) for suicide-related costs 
(Greenberg 2003).
MDD is a leading cause of disability in the United States (Murray 2013). Moreover, MDD is 
known to be a significant risk factor for suicide and ischemic heart disease, as it accounted for 
16 million of the disability adjusted life years (DALYs) associated with suicide and 4 million of 
the DALYs associated with ischemic heart disease. Research has shown that untreated 
depression has both a functional (social and work role) as well as a neuroanatomical 
(hippocampal shrinkage) effect on the patient (Videbech and Ravnkilde 2004). Given the disease 
burden and link to suicidality as well as increased mortality with other comorbid conditions, 
MDD is a serious and life-threatening condition which is a leading cause of disability in the 
world.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Selective Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake 
Inhibitors in Major Depressive Disorder
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and selective serotonin and norepinephrine 
reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) currently represent the first line of treatment of depression in the 
United States. Unfortunately, a large number of patients do not experience therapeutic benefit 
from these first-line agents (Rosenzweig-Lipson 2007). Lack of sufficient response to adequate 
treatment remains a critical problem in the management of patients with MDD. Up to two-thirds 
of patients treated with first-line antidepressant monotherapy do not reach full remission, and as 
many as a third become treatment resistant (Fava and Davidson 1996; Trivedi 2006). Not 
achieving remission has been shown to be predictive of poorer psychosocial functioning, higher 
rates of relapse, and higher rates of rehospitalization (McIntyre and O’Donovan 2004).

The results of the STAR*D study suggest that with successive failures of treatment, patients are 
less and less likely to respond to subsequent treatment, and those who do respond are more likely 
to relapse (Rush 2006). Present strategies available to treat patients who do not respond to 
first-line antidepressant monotherapy include switching of antidepressant (either within or 
between classes); combination therapy in which multiple antidepressants are used 
simultaneously; augmentation of ongoing antidepressant monotherapy with adjunctive use of 
drugs such as mood stabilizers or atypical antipsychotics (Boland and Keller 2006); and 
nonpharmacologic treatments including psychotherapy and phototherapy, vagus nerve 
stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Clearly, 
there remains a critically important unmet medical need for this patient population.
Existing antidepressants have a number of limitations, leading to considerable unmet medical 
need in the effective treatment of MDD, with up to 50% of patients with MDD having an 
inadequate response or failing current antidepressant therapy (ADT). Currently available 
first-line antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs) typically take 3 to 4 weeks or more of continuous daily 
dosing to relieve symptoms of MDD and are associated with side effects related to their 
pharmacological mechanisms of action (sexual dysfunction, weight gain, jitteriness, sleep 
disturbances), which are further associated with poor patient compliance 
(Masand 2003, Ashton 2005). Patients often experience undesirable side effects before they 
experience an improvement in depressive symptoms, which could lead to premature 
discontinuation of therapy. Taken together, these factors define significant areas for 
improvement of ADT.
Patients vary greatly in their response to antidepressants and it is not possible to reliably predict 
whether an individual patient will respond to a given antidepressant. This leads to clinicians 
often using a trial-and-error approach to identify an effective antidepressant. Due to the slow 
onset of the development of the full therapeutic effect of currently available treatments, each 
antidepressant needs to be administered for 4 weeks or longer to determine the individual 
therapeutic benefit, making the process of finding an effective antidepressant a lengthy process 
for patients who are often severely depressed and at a high risk for suicide. Clearly a drug that 
could induce a rapid antidepressant effect would represent a major advancement for these 
patients.
While inhibition of serotonin reuptake improves the management of patients with depression, 
these agents suffer two severe limitations: 1) they require several weeks of continued dosing 
until a patient can experience the full therapeutic benefit, and during this time patients continue 
to be affected by the symptoms of depression and the risk of self-harm, and 2) a large number of 
patients do not experience therapeutic benefit (Rosenzweig-Lipson 2007). Intravenous ketamine, 
an NMDAR antagonist, provides rapid relief of depressive symptoms, unlike the SSRIs and 
SNRIs; however, this beneficial effect is accompanied by classic NMDAR antagonist effects, 
including psychotomimetic activity, confusion, and dissociation. In addition, ketamine is 
approved as an anesthetic agent, and not approved for use as an antidepressant. Psychiatric use of 
ketamine may be limited by the need for repeated infusions to maintain a treatment response, its 
safety profile, and its abuse potential, being a Schedule III controlled substance. Based upon the

16
available evidence of ketamine, modulation of the NMDAR is being pursued as a therapeutic 
target for MDD treatment.
Recently, rapastinel has emerged as a representative of a potentially new class of antidepressants 
that positively modulate the NMDAR function and have the potential to provide rapid and 
significant antidepressant activity without many of the adverse side effects of NMDAR
antagonists like ketamine. Rapastinel has demonstrated rapid and long-lasting antidepressant 
effects in rodent models of depression as well as in MDD patients, with a favorable side-effect 
profile (Burgdorf 2013; Preskorn 2015). Rapastinel’s unique mechanism of action may explain 
its lack of ketamine-like side effects. Rapastinel is believed to activate a cascade of biochemical 
and physiological processes like long-term potentiation (LTP)-based synaptic plasticity. 
Rapastinel potentiates LTP following acute treatment (unlike ketamine) and does not impair 
cognition in a variety of animal models of cognition (unlike ketamine and other NMDAR 
antagonists like PCP and MK-801) (Blanke 2009; Nicholson 2009; Skolnick 2009). Early 
Phase 2 clinical trial experience suggests that the rapastinel pharmacology lacks the negative 
symptomatic effects of NMDAR antagonists. Compared with ketamine and other NMDAR 
antagonists, rapastinel exhibits a significantly improved central nervous system (CNS) 
tolerability profile.
Like rapastinel, AGN-241751 is a novel NMDAR modulator with partial agonist properties. 
AGN-241751 has appropriate oral bioavailability and blood brain barrier penetration. 
In support of AGN-241751 investigation in human subjects, a series of nonclinical 
pharmacology studies have been performed. These studies were designed to characterize 
AGN-241751 in terms of its potential to a) potentiate NMDAR activity; b) strengthen 
NMDAR-dependent LTP; and c) produce antidepressant-like effects in rat models. Additional 
safety and tolerability studies were carried out to evaluate AGN-241751’s side effect profile, 
including potential ataxic/sedative and pro-convulsive effects. Besides displaying potent partial 
agonist activity at NMDAR, AGN-241751 increased NMDAR-dependent synaptic plasticity in 
rat hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex in vitro and ex vivo. AGN-241751 was active in 
several models of depression, and has demonstrated rapid onset of action in rat models of 
depression without causing CNS side effects. AGN-241751 had no appreciable affinity for over 
60 neurotransmitter-receptors and ion channels in a CEREP screen indicating a lack of potential 
off-target effects. Central nervous system safety and tolerability profile of AGN-241751 was 
favorable at substantially higher doses relative to its antidepressant doses. Although transient 
lowering of blood pressure in conscious telemetered dogs was observed in cardiovascular safety 
studies, there were no findings that preclude its use for further development. In other safety 
pharmacology studies, AGN-241751 was not associated with any adverse effects. In summary, 
the safety profile of AGN-241751 supports the proposed clinical doses in Phase 2a (0.25 mg to 
10 mg).
Following oral administration, mean oral bioavailability of AGN-241751 in rats and dogs was 
approximately 100% and 99%, respectively. There was no accumulation after repeat 
administration and AGN-241751 was rapidly distributed to the target tissue (brain) with time to

reach maximum concentration (Tmax) at 1 hour post dose in rats. Brain to plasma and 
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to plasma area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) ratios were 
0.16 and 0.3, respectively. 
Acute dosing in rats showed no effects on the central or peripheral nervous system. Drug-related 
findings after oral dosing in rats for 28 days were limited to mild increases in absolute and 
relative (to brain and body) liver weights that correlated with minimal hepatocellular 
hypertrophy, minimal to mild pigmented material in bile ducts, and minimal periductal 
mononuclear cell infiltrates at ≥ 300 mg/kg/day. The no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL)
in this study was 600 mg/kg/day. Oral dosing in dogs was not tolerated at ≥ 40 mg/kg/day. 
Drug-related findings in dogs included decreases in body weight and alterations in serum 
chemistry (only males) at 20 mg/kg/day, reversible increases in hepatic enzymes and brown 
pigmented material in hepatic sinusoids at ≥ 10 mg/kg/day and minimal to moderate Kupffer cell 
hypertrophy/hyperplasia and minimal to mild increased incidence of mononuclear cell infiltrates 
at all doses. Increases in liver enzymes correlated with microscopic findings of hepatotoxicity at 
20 mg/kg/day. The NOAEL was 10 mg/kg/day; however, the more conservative dose of 
3 mg/kg/day is used for the calculation of safety margins due to moderate liver enzymes 
increases observed at 10 mg/kg/day. A dose of 3 mg/kg/day in dogs (the most sensitive species) 
results in a systemic exposure (AUC; Day 1) that is 3.5 times the exposure at the highest dose 
(50 mg) evaluated in the single ascending dose study.
Preliminary data from ongoing clinical studies, a single ascending dose study (3125-101-009) 
and multiple ascending dose study (3125-102-009) in healthy male and female volunteers, have 
demonstrated an acceptable safety and tolerability profile up to doses of 50 mg administered 
once, or 25 mg administered daily for consecutive 10 days. Based upon preliminary PK data in 
healthy volunteers, systemic exposures of AGN-241751 demonstrate rapid absorption, rapid 
clearance, and dose-related increases in exposures in plasma and CSF. Female subjects 
demonstrated similar PK exposures to male counterparts receiving a 1.0 mg dose of 
AGN-241751 under fasted conditions, hence sex does not appear to significantly influence the 
overall exposures of AGN-241751. After multiple doses of AGN-241751, no apparent systemic 
accumulation was observed up to 25 mg. Although the systemic exposures of AGN-241751 were 
slightly delayed when dosed in the fed state (approximate 40% reduction in Cmax, and 1-hour 
delay in Tmax), the overall exposures were similar for the plasma (AUC), and CSF profiles.
Hence, administration of AGN-241751 can be in the fed or fasted state.
3.1.
Study Rationale
AGN-241751 is a functional modulator of the NMDAR with partial agonist properties. In rodent 
models of depression, AGN-241751 elicited potent, rapid, and long-lasting antidepressant 
activity without adverse CNS effects. AGN-241751 is an orally bioavailable small molecule with 
NMDAR partial co-agonist pharmacology. Thus, it represents a novel pharmacology that may 
address a significant unmet need with minimal side effects and the feasibility of an oral dosage 
form. This is a proof-of-concept study of AGN 241751 monotherapy in the treatment of MDD.

Background
AGN-241751 is a novel NMDAR modulator with partial agonist properties and high oral 
bioavailability. Unlike the NMDAR antagonist, ketamine, AGN-241751 potentiates NMDAR 
function (Study BIO-16-1126, Study DMP-2015-003). AGN-241751 has the potential to provide 
rapid and significant antidepressant activity, unlike SSRIs and SNRIs that require several weeks 
of continued dosing to experience full therapeutic benefit. The compound is being developed for 
the treatment of MDD.
3.3.
Benefit/Risk Assessment
The expected benefits of AGN-241751 are potentially a rapid-onset, and long-acting, oral 
treatment for depression. The compound has the potential to have lower side effects than what is 
currently on the market. 
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably 
expected adverse events of AGN-241751 can be found in the investigator’s brochure.

Study Design
5.1.
Overall Design
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind (with a single-blind placebo lead-in), 
placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose, 3-week study in participants with MDD. The 
study will include a total of 10 visits and will be approximately 5 weeks in duration: 

Up to 1-week screening period 

3-week double-blind treatment period 

1-week safety follow-up period 
After providing written consent, participants will enter a single-blind placebo lead-in screening 
period of up to 7 days. Screening procedures may be conducted on up to 2 separate dates 
where necessary to accommodate participant and site schedule; however, every effort 
should be made to conduct all procedures as early as possible in the screening period and 
the rater-administered MADRS and computer-administered MADRS must be collected on 
the same date. Participants will receive single-blind placebo during the screening period. 
Participants meeting the eligibility criteria at the end of Visit 2 (Baseline) will be assigned a 
treatment by the interactive web response system (IWRS) and enter the double-blind treatment 
period.
Approximately 250 participants are planned for enrollment in the double-blind treatment period 
(50 participants each in the AGN-241751 and placebo groups). Participants will be randomized 
in a ratio of 1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of 5 treatment groups: 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg dose AGN-241751 
and placebo. 
Aside from the single-blind screening period and double-blind treatment period, there is an 
additional single-blind element to this study (blinded to the participant). AGN-241751 is being 
developed for once-weekly dosing; however, in order to minimize participant’s expectations and 
control for placebo response, treatment will be presented to participants as oral daily dosing. 
Each treatment kit (dispensed once weekly) in the double-blind treatment period will contain 
2 bottles: Bottle 1 will contain a single dose of double-blind study treatment and Bottle 2 will 
contain multiple doses single-blind placebo tablets (blinded to the participant). At Visit 2 
(Day 1), Visit 5 (Day 8), and Visit 8 (Day 15), site staff will give the participant the single dose 
of double-blind study treatment from Bottle 1 to take by oral ingestion in the clinic (ie, the first
dose of study treatment for that week). Site staff will give Bottle 2, which contains the 
single-blind placebo tablets, to the participant with the instruction to take 1 tablet daily by oral 
ingestion for the remainder of that week. To maintain consistency, study treatment at Visit 1 
(single-blind placebo lead-in) will be dispensed in the same manner; the single dose of 
single-blind study treatment from Bottle 1 will be given to the participant for oral ingestion in the 
clinic, and then, Bottle 2 containing single-blind placebo tablets will be dispensed for the 
participant to take 1 tablet daily by oral ingestion through the remainder of the week.

AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002

During the first 2 weeks of the double-blind treatment period, participants will have 3 study 
visits per week. The visits will occur in the following pattern: in-clinic treatment day, 1 day 
following the in-clinic treatment day, 4 days following the in-clinic treatment day, and 7 days 
following the in-clinic treatment day (which is the next in-clinic treatment day). If necessary, 
study visits may be conducted up to 2 days before or after the scheduled visits with the exception 
of visits that are 1 day apart (ie, Visits 2 and 3 must be conducted 1 day apart; and Visits 5 and 6 
must be conducted 1 day apart). Visit 8 will be conducted 7 days following the second in-clinic 
treatment day. All participants who receive study treatment must complete Visit 9/ET. 
Participants will enter a 1-week safety follow-up period and return for Visit 10. Participants who 
prematurely discontinue from the study before completing 3 weeks of double-blind treatment 
should enter the 1-week safety follow-up period. Additional follow-up visits may be scheduled 
within 30 days, if necessary for safety reasons.

Participant and Study Completion
Approximately 250 participants who meet eligibility criteria at Visit 2 (Baseline) will be 
randomly assigned to study treatment such that approximately 50 participants per arm will be 
allocated in a 1:1:1:1:1 ratio.
5.3.
End of Study Definition
The end of the study is defined as the completion of enrollment and completion of all periods of 
the study. 
A participant is considered to have completed the study if he/she has completed the double-blind 
treatment period of the study.
5.4.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
The double-blind study design was adopted to minimize systematic bias resulting from the 
investigator or the participant knowing the treatment being administered. Randomization is 
expected to minimize participant selection bias and increase baseline comparability among the 
treatment groups. A placebo treatment group is included in the study to comply with worldwide 
regulatory preferences (Laughren 2001; Gispen-de Wied 2012), since placebo-controlled 
superiority trials have been shown to be conducive to higher quality studies and to provide more 
reliable outcomes (Feifel 2008; Laughren 2001; Gispen-de Wied 2012). Additionally, 
randomized double-blind comparisons versus placebo are needed to permit adequate evaluation 
of efficacy. Comparison to a placebo treatment is also of value for distinguishing disease 
manifestations from adverse reactions to the study treatment (EMA guidance 2013). The use of 
placebo in place of the standard therapy should not cause irreversible health problems or extreme 
suffering (depression is recognized by the FDA as a condition in which there is substantial 
improvement and variability in placebo groups) (FDA Guidance for Industry: E10, May 2001).
5.5.
Justification for Dose
The doses and regimen of AGN-241751 (0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, and 10 mg) were selected based 
on summation of in vitro, nonclinical pharmacology and safety studies, and clinical studies in 
healthy volunteers.

Based upon scaling of preclinical and in vitro data, these doses are expected to provide 
similar clinical exposures that demonstrated potentiation of NMDAR activity; 
strengthening NMDAR-dependent LTP; and producing lasting antidepressant-like effects 
in rat models.

Given the similar mechanism of activity with rapastinel and ketamine (ie, NMDA 
modulation), single-dose administration of AGN-241751 is expected to result in lasting 
improvements within MADRS scores, and therefore, justifying the weekly interval 
between dosing.

AGN-241751


Within healthy volunteers, there was evidence from multiple pharmacodynamic tests that 
AGN-241751 had beneficial effects on electroencephalographic parameters, such as 
activation and increasing dominant frequency at doses up to 25 mg.

Compared to the available preclinical toxicology studies, the proposed top dose of 10 mg 
is expected to result in substantial margins below the 28-day study NOAELs designated 
in the rat (575-fold) and dog (10-fold).
AGN-241751 demonstrated acceptable safety and tolerability when administered in doses of 
50 mg administered once or 25 mg administered daily for 10 consecutive days in healthy male 
and female volunteers. Hence, it is expected that the proposed top dose of 10 mg, administered 
weekly, will be well tolerated.

Treatments
Study treatment is defined as any investigational treatment(s), marketed product(s), placebo, or 
medical device(s) intended to be administered to a study participant according to the study 
protocol.
7.1.
Treatments Administered
During the lead-in screening period, all participants will receive single-blind placebo tablets 
(participants will be blinded to lead-in treatment; site personnel will be aware that the lead-in 
treatment is placebo). At Visit 1 (Screening), a single dose of single-blind placebo from Bottle 
1 will be given to the participant for oral ingestion in the clinic. Bottle 2, containing single-blind 
placebo tablets, will be dispensed for the participant to take 1 tablet daily by oral ingestion 
through the remainder of the week.
Study treatment kits for the double-blind treatment period will be assigned at Visit 2 (Day 1), 
Visit 5 (Day 8), and Visit 8 (Day 15). Each treatment kit will contain 2 bottles: Bottle 1 will 
contain a single dose of double-blind study treatment and Bottle 2 will contain multiple doses of 
single-blind placebo tablets (blinded to the participant). At Visit 2 (Day 1), Visit 5 (Day 8), and 
Visit 8 (Day 15), site staff will give the participant the single dose of double-blind study 
treatment from Bottle 1 to take by oral ingestion in the clinic (ie, the first dose of study treatment 
for that week). Site staff will give Bottle 2, which contains the single-blind placebo tablets, to the 
participant with the instruction to take 1 tablet daily by oral ingestion for the remainder of that
week.

Method of Treatment Assignment
All participants will be centrally assigned to randomized study treatment using an IWRS. Before 
the study is initiated, the log-in information and directions for the IWRS will be provided to each 
site.
Study treatment will be dispensed at the study visits summarized in the schedule of activities
(Section 2). 
Returned study treatment should not be re-dispensed to the participants.
7.4.
Blinding/Masking
The IWRS will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. The study blind may be broken 
if, in the opinion of the investigator, it is in the participant’s best interest to know the study 
treatment assignment. The sponsor must be notified before the blind is broken unless 
identification of the study treatment is required for a medical emergency in which the knowledge 
of the specific blinded study treatment will affect the immediate management of the participant’s 
condition (eg, antidote is available). In this case, the sponsor must be notified within 24 hours 


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002

after breaking the blind. The date and reason that the blind was broken must be recorded in the 
source documentation and electronic case report form (eCRF), as applicable.
7.5.
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability
1. All study treatment will be provided and shipped to the study centers by Allergan Inc., and 
must be stored in an appropriate secure area (eg, a locked cabinet in a locked room) at 
refrigerate conditions (5°C with a permitted range of 2°C-8°C) and must be protected from 
heat and moisture.
2. The investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have been 
maintained during transit for all study treatment received and any discrepancies are reported 
and resolved before use of the study treatment.
3. Only participants enrolled in the study may receive study treatment, and only authorized site 
staff may supply or administer study treatment. All study treatments must be stored in a 
secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored (manual or automated) area in accordance 
with the labeled storage conditions with access limited to the investigator and authorized site 
staff.
4. The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) is 
responsible for study treatment accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance (ie,
receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records).
5. Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study treatment are 
provided in the study reference manual.
7.6.
Treatment Compliance
Compliance with administration of double-blind study treatment in the clinic at Visits 2, 5, and 8 
will be monitored by capturing the date that the participant ingested the double-blind study 
treatment at each of these visits. If a scheduled ingestion does not occur, the sponsor must be 
notified and the reason captured in the eCRF.
Compliance with study treatment dosing by the participant outside of the clinic will be monitored 
by counting the number of tablets dispensed and returned. Before dispensing new study 
treatment, study center personnel will make every effort to collect all unused study treatment and 
empty bottles. If a participant demonstrates poor compliance at any time during the study (< 80% 
or > 120% measured by pill counts), the investigator should evaluate whether the participant
should be discontinued from the study. 
The study centers will keep an accurate drug disposition record that specifies the amount of 
study treatment administered to each participant and the date of administration.

8.1.
Discontinuation of Study Treatment
All randomized participants who prematurely discontinue from the study, regardless of cause, 
should be seen for a final assessment at an ET Visit. A final assessment will be defined as 
completion of the evaluations scheduled for all participants at Visit 9/ET Visit. Participants who
prematurely discontinue from the study before completing 3 weeks of double-blind treatment 
should enter the 1-week safety follow-up period. 
Any participant may be withdrawn due to AE at the discretion of the investigator.
Any participant who meets any of the following criteria at any point during the study must be 
withdrawn from participation, due to AE(s) related to suicide:
a) A suicide attempt
b) Significant risk, as judged by the investigator, based on the psychiatric interview or 
information collected in the C-SSRS
c) MADRS Item 10 score ≥ 5


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
38
In the event that a participant is withdrawn for a suicide-related AE, the participant should be 
referred for additional treatment or hospitalization, as clinically indicated, in addition to 
withdrawing the participant from the study.
Discontinuation of study treatment for abnormal liver function (criteria for potential Hy’s law 
described in Section 9.2.6) should be considered by the investigator if the investigator believes 
that it is in best interest of the participant.
If a clinically significant finding is identified after enrollment, the investigator or qualified 
designee will determine if the participant can continue in the study and if any change in 
participant management is needed. Any new clinically relevant finding should be reported as an 
AE.
See the schedule of activities (Section 2) for data to be collected at the early termination visit and 
the safety follow-up visit.
8.2.
Withdrawal from the Study

A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request, or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, compliance, 
or administrative reasons.

If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may 
retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent.

If a participant withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any samples 
taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study records.

See the schedule of activities for data to be collected at the time of study discontinuation and 
follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be completed.
8.3.
Lost to Follow Up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit:

The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon as 
possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit 
schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or should continue in the 
study.

Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must make 
every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 2 telephone calls, and if 
necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address or local equivalent 
methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the participant’s medical record.

Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he or she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study with a primary reason of lost to follow-up.

Study Assessments and Procedures

Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the schedule of activities (Section 2).

Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed.

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or discontinue study 
treatment.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the schedule of 
activities, is essential and required for study conduct.

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable.

Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (eg, blood 
count) and obtained before signing of the ICF may be utilized for screening or baseline 
purposes provided the procedure met the protocol-specified criteria and were performed 
within the time frame defined in the schedule of activities.

Repeat or unscheduled blood samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues 
with the samples.
Diagnostic Assessments
The SCID will be administered during the screening interviews by a psychiatrist, doctoral-level 
clinical psychologist, or other clinician who has extensive professional training and experience in 
the diagnosis of mental illness and who meets the training requirements and qualification 
standards set by the sponsor and rater training vendor. 
Participants will complete a computer-administered Diagnostic Validation (DxV) assessment at 
Visit 1 (Screening) prior to the rater-administered SCID, on a tablet computer provided to the 
study center. The DxV will collect data about the participants’ history relative to lifelong history 
of MDD. The participant’s diagnostic information, based on the responses to the computerized 
interview, will be reviewed by the independent clinical reviewers team appointed by the sponsor, 
and any uncertainty raised by the participant’s responses on the diagnostic interview will be 
discussed with the investigator/study center clinician in order to establish confidence in the 
diagnosis. Participants for whom diagnostic agreement between the investigator/study center 
clinician and the rater vendor clinician cannot be reached, may not be appropriate for study 
participation.
Eligibility of potential participants will be confirmed by agreement with external clinical 
reviewer (Bracket), in which screening data will be obtained to evaluate psychiatric status 
(including MADRS, CGI-S, and SCID). Investigators will complete the Clinical Validation 
Inventory for Study Admission (C-VISA) worksheet as part of the adjudication process. The 


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
41
SCID and MADRS will be audio recorded at the Visit 1 (Screening). The C-VISA worksheet and 
SCID and MADRS recordings will be reviewed by a team of independent clinical reviewers 
appointed by the sponsor.
9.1.
Efficacy Assessments
The efficacy assessments (MADRS and CGI-S) will be administered by a psychiatrist, 
doctoral-level clinical psychologist, or other clinician who has extensive professional training 
and experience in the diagnosis of mental illness and who meets the training requirements and 
qualifications standards set by the sponsor and rater training vendor.
9.1.1.
The Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale
The MADRS (Montgomery and Åsberg 1979) is a clinician-rated scale (Appendix 8). The 
MADRS will be used to assess depressive symptomatology. Participants are rated on 10 items to
assess feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or 
appetite, difficulty concentrating, and lack of interest. Each item will be scored on a 7-point 
scale. A score of 0 indicates the absence of symptoms, and a score of 6 indicates symptoms of 
maximum severity. 
A qualified rater (ie, who meets the training requirements and qualifications set by the rater 
training vendor [Bracket]) at each investigational center will conduct the MADRS assessment.
The rater-administered MADRS will be used for the primary and secondary efficacy 
analyses. In addition to MADRS administration by a qualified rater, each participant will 
complete an interactive, computer-administered MADRS interview on the dedicated study 
device. Data from the computer-administered interview will be compared with data derived from 
the rater-administered interview on an ongoing basis as part of a remote quality assurance 
program conducted by an independent vendor appointed by the sponsor. 
At each visit with a MADRS assessment, the rater-administered MADRS interview will be audio 
recorded. The computer-administered interview (conducted by participant alone) will involve a 
series of probe and follow-up questions with multiple-choice response options. At Visit 1 
(Screening), the computer administered MADRS will be conducted prior to the 
rater-administered MADRS. At all other visits, the rater-administered MADRS will be 
conducted first. At Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline), the MADRS will be administered 
with a look-back timeframe of 1 week. At all other evaluations, the MADRS will be 
administered with a look-back timeframe of “since last evaluation”.
9.1.2.
The Clinical Global Impressions-Severity
The CGI-S (Guy 1976) is a clinician-rated scale used to rate the severity of the patient’s current 
state of mental illness compared with a patient population with MDD (Appendix 9). The patient 
will be rated on a scale from 1 to 7 with 1 indicating a “normal, not at all ill” and 7 indicating 


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
42
“among the most extremely ill patients”. The CGI-S will be administered by the investigator or a 
sub-investigator with extensive professional training and experience in assessing mental illness 
and qualification standards set by the sponsor and rater training vendor. At Visit 1 (Screening) 
and Visit 2 (Baseline), the CGI-S will be administered with a look-back timeframe of 1 week. At 
all other evaluations, the CGI-S will be administered with a look-back timeframe of “since last 
evaluation”.
9.2.
Adverse Events
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix 4.
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the 
participant’s legally authorized representative).
The investigator and any designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and recording 
events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE. Any AEs that are ongoing at the time of the 
final protocol-defined study visit will be followed until the condition returns to prestudy status, 
has resolved or stabilized, or can be explained as being unrelated to study treatment. If a 
follow-up visit is deemed necessary for appropriate safety surveillance, it will take place within 
30 days of the final protocol-defined study visit.
9.2.1.
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
All SAEs from the signing of the ICF will be collected at the timepoints specified in the schedule 
of activities (Section 2), and as observed or reported spontaneously by study participants, until 
30 days from the last dose of study treatment.
All AEs from the signing of the ICF will be collected at the timepoints specified in the schedule 
of activities (Section 2), and as observed or reported spontaneously by study participants, until 
30 days from the last dose of study treatment.
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study treatment but after obtaining informed 
consent will be recorded on the AE section of the eCRF.
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee within 24 hours, as indicated 
in Appendix 4. The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 
24 hours of it being available.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AE or SAE information in former study 
participants. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after 
a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be reasonably 
related to the study treatment or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify the 
sponsor.
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 4.


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002

9.2.2.
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrences.
9.2.3.
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each participant 
at subsequent visits/contacts. All AEs/SAEs will be followed until resolution, stabilization, until 
the event is otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 8.3).
The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by the sponsor to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This may include 
additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological examinations, or consultation with 
other health care professionals.
If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-up period, the 
investigator will make every effort to provide the sponsor with a copy of any postmortem 
findings including histopathology. 
New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed eCRF.
The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of receipt of 
the information.
9.2.4.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs

Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety of a 
study treatment under clinical investigation are met. 

The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other 
regulatory agencies about the safety of a study treatment under clinical investigation. The 
sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements relating to safety 
reporting to the regulatory authority, institutional review boards (IRBs)/independent ethics 
committees (IECs), and investigators.

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE or other specific 
safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will review and then 
file it along with the investigator’s brochure and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.
9.2.5.
Pregnancy

Site personnel must report every pregnancy in female participants, and female partners of 
male participants, from the time the participant signs the ICF until 30 days after the last dose 
of study treatment.


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002


Within 24 hours of learning of the pregnancy, the investigator must report the event to the 
sponsor on the Clinical Trial Pregnancy Form and fax or e-mail it to the SAE reporting fax 
number or e-mail provided on the title page of this protocol, even if no AE has occurred.
The investigator should follow the procedures outlined in Appendix 5.

Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (eg, spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, congenital 
anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs.
9.2.6.
Potential Hy’s Law
Criteria for potential Hy’s law cases are as follows: 

ALT or AST ≥ 3 × ULN AND 

Total bilirubin ≥ 2 × ULN AND 

Alkaline phosphatase < 2 × ULN
Study site personnel must report every participant who meets these potential criteria. Typically, 
all 3 analytes will be obtained from the same sample, but they may come from multiple samples 
taken within a 24-hour period. This requirement applies from the time the participant signs the 
ICF for the study until 30 days after the final protocol-defined study visit or the last known dose 
of study treatment (if the final visit does not occur). 
A laboratory alert for potential Hy’s laws cases will be in place, and must notify investigators 
and the sponsor immediately when the above criteria have been met. A potential Hy’s law case 
must be faxed or e-mailed to the sponsor on an adverse event of interest form, as soon as 
possible (within 24 hours of learning of the potential Hy’s law case) to the SAE fax number or 
e-mail shown on the title page of this protocol, even if no AE has occurred. The eCRF for 
potential Hy’s law cases must be completed within 7 calendar days. Every effort to determine the 
cause of the liver enzyme abnormalities must be made, and close monitoring should be initiated 
in conjunction with the medical monitor and in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry, 
Drug-Induced Liver Injury: Premarketing Clinical Evaluation, July 2009.
9.2.7.
Medication Errors
Medication error refers to any unintended error in the dosing and/or administration of the study 
treatment as per instructions in the protocol. Medication errors generally fall into 4 categories as 
follows:

Wrong study drug

Wrong dose (including dosing regimen, strength, form, concentration, amount)

Wrong route of administration

Wrong participant (ie, not administered to the intended participant)
Medication errors include occurrences of overdose and underdose of the study treatment.

Treatment of Overdose
Treatment of an overdose is not applicable for this study because only 1 dose of double-blind 
study treatment is provided per kit and that dose is administered to the participant once weekly in 
the clinic. AGN-241751 has a short half-life, hence, even in the event of an overdosage, the 
likelihood of lasting high exposures would be minimal.
9.4.
Safety Assessments
Planned timepoints for all safety assessments are provided in the schedule of activities
(Section 2).
9.4.1.
Physical Examinations
A complete physical examination will be done at Visit 1 (Screening) and at Visit 9/ET by a 
professionally trained physician or health professional listed on Form FDA 1572 and licensed to 
perform physical examinations.
9.4.2.
Vital Signs
Vital signs (pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, oral or tympanic temperature, and 
body weight) will be assessed at every visit. Height will be assessed at Visit 1 (Screening).
Blood pressure and radial pulse rate will be measured in the supine position followed by the 
standing position. The standing measurements should be assessed after a sufficient amount of 
time (approximately 1-3 minutes) has been elapsed to allow the BP to equilibrate in the standing 
state. 
Radial pulse rate should be measured after blood pressure measurements. Blood pressure may be 
measured manually or by machine, but radial pulse rate should only be measured manually and 
for a sufficient time to acquire an accurate measurement.
Participants should be instructed not to wear clothing with tight sleeves when they come for 
clinic visits. Additionally, participants should be kept as calm and undisturbed as possible while 
blood pressure and pulse rate measurements are taken (eg, there should be no talking while the 
blood pressure is being measured). The same arm and blood pressure cuff (appropriate to the arm 
circumference) should be used for all blood pressure measurements. 
Whenever possible, the participant’s weight will be measured at the same time of day; 
participants should wear their usual indoor clothing, but take off their jacket and shoes. For each 
participant, body weight should be determined using the same equipment during the study after 
ensuring its proper calibration.
9.4.3.
Electrocardiograms
A 12-lead ECG will be performed at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 9/ET. ECGs will be performed 
and electronically transmitted to a central ECG laboratory for analysis according to the 
instructions provided by the central ECG laboratory. Measurements (in msec) will be recorded

for the following parameters: PR interval, QRS duration, and uncorrected QT interval. QTcB 
(Bazett corrected QT interval) and QTcF (Fridericia corrected QT interval) will be calculated. 
The overall interpretation and determination of the clinical relevance of ECG findings using the 
central ECG interpretation laboratory report will be the responsibility of the investigator and will 
be recorded in the participant’s eCRF. 
Throughout the study, the investigator will review the central ECG reports and indicate the 
clinical significance of all abnormal values, and then sign and file the report in the participant’s 
study file.
9.4.4.
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments

See Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and the schedule of 
activities (Section 2) for the timing and frequency. 

The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record any 
clinically relevant changes occurring during the study that are considered Adverse Events per 
the judgment of the investigator in the AE section of the eCRF. The laboratory reports must 
be filed with the source documents. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings are 
those which are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator 
to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition.

All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or after the last dose of study treatment should be repeated until the 
values return to normal or baseline or are no longer considered clinically significant by the 
investigator.
o
If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged reasonable 
by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor notified.
o
All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the schedule of activities.
o
If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments performed at the 
institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant management or are 
considered clinically significant by the investigator (eg, SAE or AE or dose 
modification), then the results must be recorded in the eCRF.
9.4.5.
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale
The C-SSRS is an instrument that reports the severity of both suicidal ideation and behavior
(Appendix 12 and Appendix 13). Suicidal ideation is classified on a 5-item scale: 1 (wish to be 
dead), 2 (nonspecific active suicidal thoughts), 3 (active suicidal ideation with any methods [not 
plan] without intent to act), 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific 
plan), and 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent). The C-SSRS also captures 
information about the intensity of ideation, specifically the frequency, duration, controllability, 
deterrents, and reasons for the most severe types of ideation. Suicidal behavior is classified on a 
5-item scale: 0 (no suicidal behavior), 1 (preparatory acts or behavior), 2 (aborted attempt), 


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
47
3 (interrupted attempt), and 4 (actual attempt). More than 1 classification can be selected 
provided they represent separate episodes. For actual attempts only, the actual or potential 
lethality is classified for the initial, most lethal, and most recent attempts. 
The C-SSRS will be completed at all study visits. At Visit 1 (Screening), the C-SSRS will be 
completed for the participant’s lifetime history of suicidal ideation and behavior. At all other 
visits, the C-SSRS will be completed for ideation and behavior since the previous visit. The 
C-SSRS will be evaluated and signed at each visit by a qualified staff member (ie, the 
investigator or designee who has extensive professional training and experience in assessing 
mental illness), before the participant leaves the study center.
9.4.6.
Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale—Positive Symptoms Subscale
The BPRS is an 18-item evaluation that assesses psychiatric symptoms and unusual behavior 
(Overall and Gorham 1962). The BPRS+ is a subset of the BPRS that assesses 4 components of 
the BPRS related to the degree of psychosis: Conceptual Disorganization, Suspiciousness, 
Hallucinatory Behavior, and Unusual Thought Content (Appendix 10). Only the 4 items of 
BPRS + subscale will be collected and analyzed. The BPRS+ will be administered by the 
investigator or designee with extensive professional training and experience in assessing mental 
illness. At Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline) the BPRS+ will be administered with a 
look-back timeframe of 1 week. At all other evaluations, the BPRS+ with a look-back timeframe 
of “since last evaluation”.
9.4.7.
Clinician Administered Dissociative States Scale
The CADSS is a 28-item clinician-administered measure of perceptual, behavioral, and 
attentional alterations occurring during active dissociative experiences composed of 
23 subjective self-reported and 5 objective observer-reported ratings, each scored from 0 (not at 
all) to 4 (extremely) (Appendix 11). Only the 23 subjective items will be collected and analyzed. 
The CADSS provides a validated assessment of dissociative states sensitive to change over time 
and amenable to repeated measures (Bremner 1998). The CADSS will be administered by the 
investigator or designee with extensive professional training and experience in assessing mental 
illness. At Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline) the CADSS will be administered with a 
look-back timeframe of 1 week. At all other evaluations, the CADSS will be administered with a 
look-back timeframe of “since last evaluation”.
9.4.8.
Symbol Digit Coding
The Central Nervous System Vital Signs Symbol Digital Coding (SDC; Gualtieri and Johnson 
2006), a version of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) (Smith and Jones 1982), is a 
variant of the Wechsler Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), but the position of symbols and 
digits is reversed. The clinical and psychometric properties of the SDMT are similar to those of 
the DSST. The patient is given a training session to learn how to link numbers to digits. The test 
itself consists of serial presentations of screens, each of which contains a bank of 8 symbols 
above and 8 empty boxes below. The patient types in the number that corresponds to the symbol 
that is highlighted. Only the digits from 2 through 9 are used; this to avoid the confusion between

“1” and “I” on the keyboard. The test lasts for 120 seconds. The goal is to type in as many 
correct numbers as one can in 120 seconds.
9.5.
Pharmacokinetics
For participants who consent to the optional PK sampling, whole blood samples of 
approximately 4 mL will be collected for measurement of plasma concentrations of 
AGN-241751 as specified in the schedule of activities (Section 2). Samples will be collected at 
Visit 2/2a (Day 1) at 1 hour (± 15 minutes), 2 hours (± 15 minutes), and 4 hours (± 15 minutes) 
post dose. At Visit 5 (Day 8), a single sample will be collected any time from 15 minutes to 
3 hours post dose; site staff should record the time of the prior meal taken by the participant 
before the PK sample collection, whenever possible.
Instructions for the collection and handling of biological samples will be provided by the 
sponsor. The date and time of the administered dose of study treatment and the date and time of 
each sample collection will be recorded.
Samples will be used to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of AGN-241751. Each plasma sample 
will be divided into 2 aliquots (1 each for PK, and other analyses/backup). Samples collected for 
analyses of AGN-241751 plasma concentration may also be used to evaluate safety, efficacy, or 
exploratory biomarker aspects related to concerns arising during or after the study.

Statistical Considerations 
10.1.
Estimands Framework
This estimand framework is being proposed for the primary and secondary endpoints.
10.1.1.
Population
The target study population is the participants with MDD satisfying the inclusion and exclusion 
criteria as specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2. 
The analysis population is defined as all randomized participants who received at least 
1 administration of study treatment and had a baseline MADRS total score and at least 
1 postbaseline assessment for the MADRS total score during the double-blind treatment period.
10.1.2.
Variables
The variable is the same as the primary efficacy endpoint defined in Section 10.4.1.1, which is 
the change from baseline in MADRS total score at 1 day after first dose of double-blind 
treatment; and the secondary efficacy endpoint of the change from baseline in MADRS total 
score at Week 3. 
10.1.3.
Intercurrent Events and Their Handling Rules
The intercurrent events involve all discontinuations of study due to any reason. Participants who 
discontinue study will be considered adhered to the study treatment by 1 day after the first dose 
for the primary endpoint and assumed adhered to the study treatment by Week 3 for the 
secondary endpoint.
For Day 1 primary analysis, the first dose of the study drug is administered to the participants at Baseline 
(Visit 2) in the clinic, and the study analysis population is defined as all randomized participants who 
received at least 1 administration of study treatment and had a baseline MADRS total score and at least 
1 postbaseline assessment of MADRS total score. Therefore, all participants will adhere to the study 
treatment by Day 1.
For Week 3 secondary analysis, per the study protocol all study treatment doses including at Week 3 are
administered in the clinic. Given the very short treatment period, very small (at most 5%) proportion of 
participants are expected not to receive the treatments at Weeks 2 or 3. Therefore assuming those 
discontinued treatments at Weeks 2 or 3 to adhere to study treatment will have a minimum impact on the 
overall analysis. 
Also, this is a Phase 2 study with an important objective to inform the doses for the Phase 3 studies. 
Given at least 95% study participants will adhere to study treatment for the secondary endpoint and the 
objective of the study being dose finding, we consider a hypothetical estimand defined as all participants 
in the study population adhere to study treatment as an appropriate estimand.


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002

10.1.4.
Population-Level Summary
The population-level summary for the primary endpoint is the difference in primary variable 
means between each AGN-241751 dose and placebo.
Similarly, the population-level summary for the secondary endpoint is the difference in 
secondary variable means between each AGN-241751 dose and placebo.
10.2.
Sample Size Determination
The sample size of approximately 50 randomized participants in each of the 5 treatment groups 
is not based on statistical power consideration due to the lack of information of AGN-241751 for 
the variability of change from baseline to 1 day after first dose in MADRS total score. 
10.3.
Populations for Analyses
The analysis populations will consist of participants as defined below:

The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population includes all randomized participants who 
received at least 1 administration of study treatment, and have a baseline MADRS total 
score and at least 1 postbaseline assessment for the MADRS total score during the
double-blind treatment period. Participants will be summarized according to the 
randomized study treatment.

The safety population includes all participants who received ≥ 1 administration of study 
treatment. Participants will be summarized according to the study treatment they actually 
received.
10.4.
Statistical Analyses
The study statistical analysis plan (SAP) will be developed and finalized before database lock 
and will describe in detail the participant populations to be included in the analyses, the safety 
and efficacy analysis, and the procedures for accounting for missing or unscheduled data. This 
section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the primary and secondary endpoints. 
10.4.1.
Efficacy Analyses
The efficacy analyses will be based on the mITT population. Baseline for efficacy is defined as 
the last nonmissing efficacy assessment before the first dose of study treatment. All statistical 
tests will be 2-sided hypothesis tests performed at the 5% level of significance for main effects. 
All confidence intervals will be 2-sided 95% confidence intervals, unless stated otherwise.
For efficacy analyses in which study center is a factor, a small center will be defined as a center 
with fewer than 2 participants in the mITT Population. All the small centers will be pooled to 
form a pseudo-center. If the pseudo-center is still a small center, it will be pooled with the 
smallest non-small center. If there is more than one smallest non-small center, the small 
pseudo-center will be pooled with the smallest non-small center that has the largest center 
number.

Primary and Secondary Endpoint
To perform the analysis based on the estimands framework, the primary and secondary efficacy 
endpoints are listed below and analyses will be defined in the following sections. All analyses for 
other efficacy endpoints listed below will be defined in the SAP.
Primary efficacy endpoint:

Change from baseline in MADRS total score at 1 day after first dose 
Secondary efficacy endpoint:

Change from baseline in MADRS total score at Week 3
10.4.1.2.
Primary and Secondary Analyses
The primary analysis for the primary and secondary endpoints will be performed using an
MMRM with treatment group, visit, pooled study center, and treatment group-by-visit interaction 
as fixed effects and the baseline value and baseline value-by-visit as covariates. An unstructured 
covariance matrix will be used to model the covariance of within-participant scores. If the model 
fails to converge based on the unstructured covariance matrix, then structures of Heterogenous 
Toeplitz, Toeplitz, and Compound Symmetry will be applied, in the specified order, until the 
model converges. The Kenward-Roger approximation will be used to estimate denominator 
degrees of freedom (Kenward and Roger 1997). These analyses will be performed based on all 
postbaseline scores using only the OCs without imputation of missing values.
In addition, a sensitivity analysis using the multiple imputation (MI) approach under missing not 
at random (MNAR) assumptions will be performed on the primary and secondary efficacy 
parameters. 
Detailed methods and procedures for the above outlined missing data-derived sensitivity 
analyses will be documented in the final SAP prior to the study database lock.
10.4.1.3.
Multiple Comparisons Procedure
Let H11, H21, H31, H41 represent the comparisons of AGN-241751 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, and 
10 mg, respectively with placebo in regarding to the primary efficacy parameter; and let H12, 
H22, H32, and H42 represent the comparisons of AGN-241751 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, and 10 mg, 
respectively with placebo in regarding to the key secondary efficacy parameter, the graphical 
procedure as displayed in Figure 10-1 will be employed to controlled the overall familywise 
error rate (FWER) at α = 0.05. The e in the figure represents a small positive number less than 
0.0001.

Safety Analyses
The safety analysis will be performed using the safety population for the double-blind treatment 
period and for the safety follow-up period, if applicable, and will be fully defined in the SAP. 
The safety parameters will include AEs, clinical laboratory including potential Hy’s law cases, 
vital signs, ECG, C-SSRS, BPRS+, CADSS, and SDC parameters. For each safety parameter, 
the last nonmissing safety assessment before the first dose of study intervention will be used as 
the baseline for all analyses of that safety parameter.
10.4.2.1.
Adverse Event
An AE will be considered a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) if:

The AE began on or after the date of the first dose of study treatment; or

The AE was present before the date of the first dose of study treatment, but increased in 
severity or became serious on or after the date of the first dose of study treatment
If more than 1 AE is reported before the first dose of study treatment and is coded to the same 
preferred term, the AE with the greatest severity will be used as the benchmark for comparison 
with the AEs that were also coded to that preferred term and that occurred during the period. An 
AE that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose of study treatment will not be counted as a 
TEAE.
An AE will be considered a treatment-emergent serious adverse event (TESAE) if it is a TEAE 
that additionally meets any SAE criteria


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751

The number and percentage of participants reporting TEAEs in each study treatment will be 
tabulated as follows:
•
By system organ class and preferred term
•
By system organ class, preferred term, and severity.
The number and percentage of participants reporting treatment related TEAEs in each study 
treatment will be tabulated by system organ class and preferred term.
If more than 1 AE is coded to the same preferred term for the same participant, the participant 
will be counted only once for that preferred term using the most severe and most related 
occurrence for the summarization by severity and by relationship to study treatment.
Summary tables will be provided for participants with TESAEs and participants with TEAEs 
leading to discontinuation if 2 or more participants reported such events. Listings of all AEs, 
SAEs, and AEs leading to discontinuation by participant will be presented.
The definitions of an AE and SAE can be found in Appendix 4.
10.4.2.2.
Clinical Laboratory Assessments
Descriptive statistics of actual values and change from baseline for clinical laboratory values (in 
SI units) will be presented at each assessment timepoint by treatment. In addition, descriptive 
statistics for values and changes from the baseline values in conventional units at each 
assessment timepoint will be presented for selected clinical laboratory parameters listed in the 
SAP.
The criteria for potentially clinically significant (PCS) laboratory values will be detailed in the 
SAP. The number and percentage of participants who have PCS postbaseline clinical laboratory 
values will be tabulated by study treatment at each assessment. The percentages will be 
calculated relative to the number of participants who have available non-PCS baseline values and 
at least 1 postbaseline assessment. The numerator will be the total number of participants with
available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 PCS postbaseline value. A supportive listing of 
participants with PCS postbaseline values will be provided.
10.4.2.3.
Vital Signs
Descriptive statistics of actual values and change from baseline for vital signs (systolic and 
diastolic BP, pulse rate, weight, and temperature) will be presented at each assessment timepoint 
by treatment.
Vital sign values will be considered to be PCS if they meet both the observed value criterion and 
the change from baseline value criterion that will be detailed in the SAP. The number and 
percentage of participants who have PCS postbaseline vital sign values will be tabulated by study 
treatment for each assessment. The percentages will be calculated relative to the number of 
participants who have available baseline values and at least 1 postbaseline assessment. The 
numerator will be the total number of participants with at least 1 PCS postbaseline value. A 
supportive listing of participants with PCS postbaseline values will be provided.

Electrocardiograms
Descriptive statistics of actual values and change from baseline for ECG parameters (ie, heart 
rate, PR interval, QRS interval, QT interval, and QTc interval) will be presented at each 
assessment timepoint by treatment.
The number and percentage of participants with PCS postbaseline values will be tabulated by 
study treatment. The criteria for PCS ECG values will be detailed in the SAP. The percentages 
will be calculated relative to the number of participants with an available non-PCS baseline value 
and at least one postbaseline assessment. The numerator will be the total number of participants 
with an available non-PCS baseline value and at least one PCS postbaseline ECG value. A 
supportive listing of participants with PCS postbaseline values will be provided and will include 
the participant number and the baseline and postbaseline values. A listing of all AEs for 
participants with PCS ECG values will also be provided.
A shift table from baseline to the end of study in the investigator’s overall interpretation of the 
ECG will be presented by treatment group for the following categories: normal; abnormal, not 
clinically significant; abnormal, clinically significant. A tabular display of participants with 
postbaseline clinically significant ECG abnormalities according to the investigator’s overall 
interpretation will be provided.
The number and percentage of participants with a change from baseline QTc > 30 msec but not 
exceeding 60 msec and of participants with an increase > 60 msec will be tabulated by treatment 
group. A supportive listing that includes the participant identification number, all QTc values 
(including change from baseline values), and all AEs will be provided for all participants who 
have postbaseline QTc changes > 30 msec.
10.4.2.5.
Other Safety Parameters
Other safety parameters include the BPRS+, CADSS, C-SSRS, and SDC.
Descriptive statistics of actual values and change from baseline for BPRS+ total score will be 
presented at each assessment timepoint by treatment.
Descriptive statistics of actual values and change from baseline for CADSS total score will be 
presented at each assessment timepoint by treatment. The CADSS total score is defined as the 
sum of scores for 23 subjective items.
The number and percentage of participants with suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior as 
recorded on the C-SSRS will be summarized by treatment. The distribution of responses for most 
severe suicidal ideation and most severe suicidal behavior during the participant’s lifetime, 
during the double-blind treatment period, and during the safety follow-up period will also be 
presented by treatment. Supportive listings will be provided and will include the participant 
number, lifetime history, and postbaseline values. Intensity of suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior 
type, and lethality of suicidal behavior will also be included in these listings. A listing of all AEs 
occurring in participants who have suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior will also be provided.
Descriptive statistics will be presented at each assessment timepoint by treatment for the SDC 
parameters including the number of symbols completed, the rate of completion (number of

Appendix 2: Clinical Laboratory Tests 
Blood and urine samples for clinical laboratory tests will be collected as listed in the schedule of 
activities (Section 2). 
A central laboratory will be used to evaluate all urine and blood samples, which will be 
collected, processed, and stored according to the instructions provided by the laboratory
During screening, the investigator will assess the clinical significance of any values that are 
outside the reference ranges provided by the central laboratory; participants with abnormalities 
judged to be clinically significant will be excluded from the study.
Participants will be asked to fast overnight or for at least 8 hours before arriving at the study 
center for appointments involving the collection of clinical laboratory blood tests. 
The following clinical laboratory levels will be measured at Visit 1 (Screening) only:
Clinical laboratory 
screening tests:
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting insulin, 
thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and 
free thyroxine (free T4)
Hepatitis screening:
Hepatitis–C virus antibody, hepatitis–B surface antigen, and 
hepatitis-B core antibody total will be tested. Reflex hepatitis-B 
core antibody IgM will be performed for all hepatitis–B core 
antibody total positive or reactive results. Positive test results will 
be sent for confirmation testing. 


CONFIDENTIAL

The following clinical laboratory levels will be measured at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 9/ET:
Hematology:
Absolute and differential white blood cell count, erythrocyte 
count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count, and red blood cell 
indices (mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular 
hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration)
Chemistry:
Sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, magnesium, 
gamma glutamyl transferase, phosphate, glucose, blood urea 
nitrogen, creatinine, creatine phosphokinase, total protein, 
alkaline phosphatase, albumin, bilirubin (total; direct; indirect),

high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides
Urinalysis:
Specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, and blood
UDS:
Benzoylecgonine (cocaine), barbiturates, amphetamines, 
benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, opiates, methadone, 
phencyclidine
Pregnancy screening and 
Visit 9/ET:
Serum β-hCG 
Clinical laboratory tests may be performed under special circumstances (and at investigator’s 
discretion).
A negative UDS for cocaine, phencyclidine, barbiturates, and methadone is required at Visit 1 
(Screening) for the participant to continue in the study. Participants with a positive screening 
UDS for opiates (other than methadone), cannabinoids, or episodic use of benzodiazepines may 
continue in the study provided the drug was prescribed for a legitimate medical purpose and can 
be discontinued prior to study participation and a repeat UDS is negative for these substances 
prior to enrollment. An exception is made for episodic use of benzodiazepines, which may be 
continued as described in Section 7.7.2.
A UDS may be performed at any time during the study at the discretion of the investigator. A 
participant with a positive UDS for benzodiazepines or opiates at any postrandomization visit 
may be allowed to continue in the study provided the participant has been prescribed the 
medication and it is being used for legitimate medical purpose in the investigator’s judgment.
Serum pregnancy tests will be conducted at Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 9/ET as specified in the 
schedule of activities (Section 2) and at investigator’s discretion at any time during the study. 
Positive results on the pregnancy test at Visit 1 (Screening) will exclude participants from 
participating in the study. Investigators should inquire at every study visit about the continued 
use of acceptable methods of contraception in women of childbearing potential. If there is any 
question of noncompliance with contraception or if there is any reason to suspect pregnancy, the 
following should be performed:

o
If the urine pregnancy test is negative, a serum β-hCG pregnancy test must be 
performed for confirmation.
Positive pregnancy test results during the study will result in participant termination from the 
study.
Other laboratory assessments may be repeated at any visit if there was an abnormal finding at the 
most recent previous evaluation or if additional information is clinically necessary to 
appropriately evaluate the participant’s current condition, follow up, and/or manage an adverse 
experience.

Appendix 4: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting
Definition of AE
AE Definition

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to 
the study treatment.

NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of study treatment.
AE of Special Interest (AESI)
An adverse event of special interest (serious or nonserious) is one of scientific and medical 
concern specific to the sponsor’s study drug/device or program, which warrants ongoing 
monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the sponsor. Such an event might 
warrant further investigation in order to characterize and understand it.
Nonserious AESIs should be reported to the sponsor within 72 hours and serious AESIs should 
be reported to the sponsor within 24 hours.

The AESI should be reported to the SAE reporting fax number (provided on the title page
of this protocol).

The Adverse Event of Special Interest form, along with a targeted questionnaire, if 
applicable, should be used for reporting the AESI, even if a serious outcome may not 
apply.


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
68
Events Meeting the AE Definition 

Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or other 
safety assessments (eg, ECGs, radiological scans, vital signs measurements), including those 
that worsen from baseline, considered clinically significant in the medical and scientific 
judgment of the investigator (ie, not related to progression of underlying disease)

Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an increase 
in frequency and/or intensity of the condition

New condition detected or diagnosed after study treatment administration even though it 
may have been present before the start of the study

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study treatment 
or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as an AE/SAE unless it is 
an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-harming intent. Such intentional 
overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae.

Lack of efficacy or failure of expected pharmacological action per se will not be reported as 
an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy assessments. However, the 
signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy will be reported as 
AEs or SAEs if they fulfil the definition of an AE or SAE.
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition 

Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments that are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition

The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms (clearly 
defined) of the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition

Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that leads to 
the procedure is the AE

Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital)

Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present or 
detected at the start of the study that do not worsen


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
69
Definition of SAE
SAEs must meet both the AE criteria described above and the seriousness criteria listed below.
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:
a.
Results in death
b.
Is life threatening
The term life threatening in the definition of serious refers to an event in which the participant
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 were more severe.
c.
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been detained (usually involving at 
least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation and/or treatment that
would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications 
that occur during hospitalization are AEs. If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills 
any other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether hospitalization 
occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered serious.
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE.
d.
Results in persistent disability/incapacity

The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct normal 
life functions.

This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, and 
accidental trauma (eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent everyday life 
functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.
e.
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
f.
Other situations:

Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE reporting is 
appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that may not be immediately 
life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the participant or 
may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in 
the above definition. These events should usually be considered serious.
Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment in an 
emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that 
do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency or drug abuse.


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
70
Recording an AE and/or SAE
AE and SAE Recording

When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all
documentation (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostics reports) 
related to the event.

The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information in the eCRF.

It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s medical 
records to the sponsor in lieu of completion of the AE/SAE eCRF page.

There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are requested by 
the sponsor. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the participant
number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before submission to the 
sponsor.

The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, symptoms, 
and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not the individual 
signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE.
Assessment of Intensity
MILD
A type of adverse event that is usually transient and may require only minimal 
treatment or therapeutic intervention. The event does not generally interfere with 
usual activities of daily living.
MODERATE
A type of adverse event that is usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic 
intervention. The event interferes with usual activities of daily living, causing 
discomfort but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the research 
participant.
SEVERE
A type of adverse event that interrupts usual activities of daily living, or significantly 
affects clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention.
An event is defined as serious when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes as described in 
the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe.
Assessment of Causality

The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study treatment and each 
occurrence of each AE/SAE.

A reasonable possibility of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, and/or 
arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot be ruled out.


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751
Protocol 3125-201-002
71

The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship.

Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other risk 
factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study treatment administration 
will be considered and investigated.

The investigator will also consult the investigator’s brochure (IB) and/or product 
information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment.

For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she has 
reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality.

There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has minimal 
information to include in the initial report to the sponsor. However, it is very important 
that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every event before the 
initial transmission of the SAE data to the sponsor

The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up information
and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality assessment.

The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory reporting 
requirements.
Reporting of SAEs
SAE Reporting to the Sponsor via Fax or Email

Facsimile transmission is the preferred method to transmit SAE information. 
The fax number is +1-714-796-9504 (backup number is +1-714-246-5295). 

Email of the SAE information is also acceptable. The email address is
IR-Clinical-SAE@allergan.com.

In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by telephone is 
acceptable with a copy of the SAE form, sent by overnight mail or courier service.

Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to complete 
and sign the SAE form within the designated reporting time frames.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found on the protocol title page.

Appendix 5: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy 
Information
Definitions
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP)
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless 
permanently sterile (see below).
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP
1. Premenarchal
2. Premenopausal female with 1 of the following:

Documented hysterectomy

Documented bilateral salpingectomy

Documented bilateral oophorectomy
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s: review of the participant’s medical 
records, medical examination, or medical history interview.
3. Postmenopausal female

A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical 
cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be 
used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or 
hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, 
a single FSH measurement is insufficient. 

Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use one of the 
acceptable non-hormonal contraception methods if they wish to continue their HRT during 
the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal 
status before study enrollment.
Contraception Guidance
Male Participants

Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential are eligible to participate if 
they agree to ONE of the following during the study:
o
Are abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse as their usual and preferred lifestyle 
(abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent
o
Vasectomy


CONFIDENTIAL
AGN-241751

The investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male participant’s 
female partner who becomes pregnant while the male participant is in this study. This 
applies only to male participants who receive study treatment.

After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female partner 
directly, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the appropriate form and 
submit it to the sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the partner’s pregnancy. The female 
partner will also be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. Information on the 
status of the mother and child will be forwarded to the sponsor. Generally, the follow-up 
will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the estimated delivery date. Any termination 
of the pregnancy will be reported regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of 
anomalies) or indication for the procedure.
Female Participants Who Become Pregnant 

The investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female participant who becomes 
pregnant while participating in this study. Information will be recorded on the appropriate 
form and submitted to the sponsor within 24 hours of learning of a participant’s pregnancy. 

The participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
investigator will collect follow-up information on the participant and the neonate and the 
information will be forwarded to the sponsor. Generally, follow-up will not be required for 
longer than 6 to 8 weeks beyond the estimated delivery date. Any termination of pregnancy 
will be reported, regardless of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication 
for the procedure.

While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, any pregnancy complication 
or elective termination of a pregnancy will be reported as an AE or SAE. A spontaneous 
abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as such. Any poststudy 
pregnancy related SAE considered reasonably related to the study treatment by the 
investigator will be reported to the sponsor as described in Section 9.2. While the 
investigator is not obligated to actively seek this information in former study participants, he 
or she may learn of an SAE through spontaneous reporting.

Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating in the study will be 
withdrawn from the study.

Disclaimer: 
This scale is intended for use by trained clinicians. The questions contained in the Columbia-Suicide Severity 
Rating Scale are suggested probes. Ultimately, the determination of the presence of suicidality depends on 
clinical judgment. 
Definitions of behavioral suicidal events in this scale are based on those used in The Columbia Suicide 
History Form, developed by John Mann, MD and Maria Oquendo, MD, Conte Center for the Neuroscience of 
Mental Disorders (CCNMD), New York State Psychiatric Institute, 1051 Riverside Drive, New York, NY 10032.

SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR
(Check all that apply, so long as these are separate events; must ask about all types)
Since Last 
Visit
Actual Attempt:
A potentially self-injurious act committed with at least some wish to die, as a result of act. Behavior was in part thought of as 
method to kill oneself. Intent does not have to be 100%. If there is any intent/desire to die associated with the act, then it can be 
considered an actual suicide attempt. There does not have to be any injury or harm, just the potential for injury or harm. If person 
pulls trigger while gun is in mouth but gun is broken so no injury results, this is considered an attempt. 
Inferring Intent: Even if an individual denies intent/wish to die, it may be inferred clinically from the behavior or circumstances. 
For example, a highly lethal act that is clearly not an accident so no other intent but suicide can be inferred (e.g., gunshot to head, 
jumping from window of a high floor/story). Also, if someone denies intent to die, but they thought that what they did could be 
lethal, intent may be inferred. 
Have you made a suicide attempt?
Have you done anything to harm yourself?
Have you done anything dangerous where you could have died?
What did you do?
Did you______ as a way to end your life? 
Did you want to die (even a little) when you_____? 
Were you trying to end your life when you _____?
Or did you think it was possible you could have died from_____?
Or did you do it purely for other reasons / without ANY intention of killing yourself (like to relieve stress, feel 
better, get sympathy, or get something else to happen)? (Self-Injurious Behavior without suicidal intent)
If yes, describe:

Interrupted Attempt:
When the person is interrupted (by an outside circumstance) from starting the potentially self-injurious act (if not for that, actual 
attempt would have occurred).
Overdose: Person has pills in hand but is stopped from ingesting. Once they ingest any pills, this becomes an attempt rather than an 
interrupted attempt. Shooting: Person has gun pointed toward self, gun is taken away by someone else, or is somehow prevented 
from pulling trigger. Once they pull the trigger, even if the gun fails to fire, it is an attempt. Jumping: Person is poised to jump, is 
grabbed, and taken down from ledge. Hanging: Person has noose around neck but has not yet started to hang - is stopped from 
doing so.

Aborted Attempt: 
When person begins to take steps toward making a suicide attempt, but stops themselves before they actually have engaged in any 
self-destructive behavior. Examples are similar to interrupted attempts, except that the individual stops him/herself, instead of 
being stopped by something else.

Actual Lethality/Medical Damage: 
0. No physical damage or very minor physical damage (e.g., surface scratches).
1. Minor physical damage (e.g., lethargic speech; first-degree burns; mild bleeding; sprains).
2. Moderate physical damage; medical attention needed (e.g., conscious but sleepy, somewhat responsive; second-degree burns; 
bleeding of major vessel).
3. Moderately severe physical damage; medical hospitalization and likely intensive care required (e.g., comatose with reflexes 
intact; third-degree burns less than 20% of body; extensive blood loss but can recover; major fractures).
4. Severe physical damage; medical hospitalization with intensive care required (e.g., comatose without reflexes; third-degree 
burns over 20% of body; extensive blood loss with unstable vital signs; major damage to a vital area).
5. Death

______
Potential Lethality: Only Answer if Actual Lethality = 0
Likely lethality of actual attempt if no medical damage (the following examples, while having no actual medical damage, had 
potential for very serious lethality: put gun in mouth and pulled the trigger but gun fails to fire so no medical damage; laying on 
train tracks with oncoming train but pulled away before run over).
0 = Behavior not likely to result in injury
1 = Behavior likely to result in injury but not likely to cause death
2 = Behavior likely to result in death despite available medical care

Introduction
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) details comprehensive, technical specifications of the 
statistical analyses of the efficacy and safety data outlined and/or specified in the final protocol 
of Study 3125-201-002 (version dated 02 March 2018) and the most recent amendment 
(version #1 dated on 08 Jun 2018). Specifications of tables, figures, and data listings are 
contained in a separate document. 
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind (with a single-blind placebo lead-in), 
placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose, 3-week study in participants with major 
depressive disorder (MDD). The study will include a total of 10 visits and will be 
approximately 5 weeks in duration:

Up to 1-week screening period

3-week double-blind treatment period

1-week safety follow-up period
Approximately 250 participants are planned for enrollment in the double-blind treatment 
period (50 participants each in the AGN-241751 and placebo groups). Participants will be 
randomized in a ratio of 1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of 5 treatment groups: 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, 10 mg dose 
AGN-241751, and placebo.
Aside from the single-blind screening period and double-blind treatment period, there is an 
additional single-blind element to this study (blinded to the participant). AGN-241751 is being 
developed for once-weekly dosing; however, in order to minimize participant’s expectations 
and control for placebo response, treatment will be presented to participants as oral daily 
dosing. Each treatment kit (dispensed once weekly) in the double-blind treatment period will 
contain 2 bottles: Bottle 1 will contain a single dose of double-blind study treatment and Bottle 
2 will contain multiple doses single-blind placebo tablets (blinded to the participant). At Visit 2 
(Day 1), Visit 5 (Day 8), and Visit 8 (Day 15), site staff will give the participant the single dose 
of double-blind study treatment from Bottle 1 to take by oral ingestion in the clinic (ie, the first 
dose of study treatment for that week). Site staff will give Bottle 2, which contains the single-
blind placebo tablets, to the participant with the instruction to take 1 tablet daily by oral 
ingestion for the remainder of that week. To maintain consistency, study treatment at Visit 1 
(single-blind placebo lead-in) will be dispensed in the same manner; the single dose of single-
blind study treatment from Bottle 1 will be given to the participant for oral ingestion in the 
clinic, and then, Bottle 2 containing single-blind placebo tablets will be dispensed for the 
participant to take 1 tablet daily by oral ingestion through the remainder of the week.

During the first 2 weeks of the double-blind treatment period, participants will have 3 study 
visits per week. The visits will occur in the following pattern: in-clinic treatment day, 1 day 
following the in-clinic treatment day, 4 days following the in-clinic treatment day, and 7 days 
following the in-clinic treatment day (which is the next in-clinic treatment day). If necessary, 
study visits may be conducted up to 2 days before or after the scheduled visits with the 
exception of visits that are 1 day apart (ie, Visits 2 and 3 must be conducted 1 day apart; and 
Visits 5 and 6 must be conducted 1 day apart). Visit 8 will be conducted 7 days following the 
second in-clinic treatment day. All participants who receive study treatment must complete 
Visit 9/ET.  Participants will enter a 1-week safety follow-up period and return for Visit 10. 
Participants who prematurely discontinue from the study before completing 3 weeks of double-
blind treatment should enter the 1-week safety follow-up period. Additional follow-up visits 
may be scheduled within 30 days, if necessary for safety reasons.

Study Objectives
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy, as measured by improvement in MADRS total 
score, at 1 day post initial oral dose of AGN-241751 compared with placebo in participants with 
MDD. The key secondary objective is to evaluate the efficacy at Week 3 of AGN-241751 
administered orally once a week compared with placebo in participants with MDD.

Screening procedures may be conducted on up to 2 separate dates where necessary to accommodateparticipant and site schedule; however, every effort 
should be made to conduct all procedures as early as possible in the screening period. The rater-administered MADRS and computer-administered MADRS
must be collected on the same date.At Visit 1 (Screening), the computer-administered MADRS will be conducted prior to the rater- administered MADRS.
At all other visits, the rater-administered MADRS will be conducted first.
If necessary, study visits may be conducted up to 2 days before or after the scheduled visits except for visits that are 1 day apart (ie, Visits 2 and 3 must be 
conducted 1 day apart, and Visits 5 and 6 must be conducted 1 day apart).

c        Height will only be measured at Visit 1 (Screening); pulse rate, blood pressure, temperature, and body weight will be assessed at every visit. Blood
      pressure and pulse will be assessed while the participant is supine and standing.
d        PK sampling is optional. For participants who consent to participate, samples will be collected at Visit 2/2a (Day 1) at 1 hour (± 15 minutes), 2 hours
(± 15 minutes), and 4 hours (± 15 minutes) post dose. At Visit 5 (Day 8), a single sample will be collected any time from 15 minutes to 3 hours post dose;
site staff should record the time of the prior meal taken by the participant before the PK sample collection, whenever possible.

Analysis Populations
The analysis populations will consist of participants as defined below:
The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population includes all randomized participants 
who received at least 1 administration of study treatment, and have a baseline MADRS 
total score and at least 1 postbaseline assessment for the MADRS total score during the
double-blind treatment period. Participants will be summarized according to the
randomized study treatment.
The safety population includes all participants who received ≥ 1 administration of study
treatment. Participants will be summarized according to the study treatment they actually
received.
7
Patient Disposition
The number and percentage of participants in Safety and mITT Populations will be summarized 
by treatment group and study center; the number of participants screened will be summarized 
overall only by study center.
Screen-failure participants (ie, participants screened but not randomized) and the associated 
reasons for failure to randomize will be tabulated overall for the all screened participants. The 
number and percentage of participants who enter the double-blind treatment period, complete the 
double-blind treatment period and of participants who prematurely discontinue during the same 
period will be presented for each treatment group and pooled across treatment groups. A 
participant is considered to have completed the study if he/she has completed the double-blind 
treatment period of the study. The reasons for premature discontinuation from the double-blind 
treatment period as recorded on the termination pages of the electronic case report forms will be 
summarized (number and percentage) by treatment group. The percentage is relevant to the total 
number of randomized participants. Similar disposition information to the double-blind treatment 
period will be presented for the safety follow-up period.  All randomized participants who 
prematurely discontinue during the double-blind treatment period or the safety follow-up period 
will be listed by discontinuation reason.  
8
Demographic and Other Baseline Characteristics
Demographic parameters (age; age group (<20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and >=60); race; 
ethnicity; sex), baseline characteristics (weight; height; and body mass index, calculated as 
weight [kg]/(height [m])2 will be summarized descriptively by treatment group for the Safety and

mITT populations. Continuous variables will be summarized by number of participants and 
mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum values. Categorical variables will be summarized 
by number and percentage of participants.
Medical and surgical history, psychiatric history, non-drug psychiatric treatment history, and 
other psychiatric history will also be summarized by double-blind treatment group for the Safety 
Population. 
Prior medication is defined as any medication taken before the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment. Concomitant medication is defined as any medication taken on or after the date of the 
first dose of the double-blind study treatment.  Any medications started after the last visit of 
double-blind treatment period will not be summarized but will be included in listings.
Both prior and concomitant medication use will be summarized by the number and proportion of 
participants in each treatment group receiving each medication within each therapeutic class for 
the double-blind treatment period for the Safety Population. If a participant took a specific 
medication multiple times or took multiple medications within a specific therapeutic class, that 
participant would be counted only once for the coded drug name or therapeutic class. Any prior 
and concomitant medications will be included in listings. 
The World Health Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary Enhanced, March 2017 or newer, will 
be used to classify prior and concomitant medications by therapeutic class and drug name.
The number and percentage of participants with important protocol deviations will be 
summarized by treatment group for randomized participants. Deviations related to the following 
categories will be included:
•
Inclusion or exclusion criteria
•
Withdrawal criteria
•
Treatment or dose
•
Concomitant medications
These and any additional important protocol deviations will be reviewed and documented before 
database lock and unblinding of treatment codes.

Extent of Exposure and Treatment Compliance
9.1 Extent of Exposure
The number and percent of participants who received 1, 2, and 3 double-blind study treatment 
(tablet) will be summarized by treatment group for the Safety Population.
9.2 Measurement of Treatment Compliance
Dosing compliance for double-blind study medication for a specified period is defined as the 
total number of double-blind study medications actually taken by a participant during that period 
divided by the number of double-blind study medications that were expected to be taken during 
the same period multiplied by 100. Descriptive statistics for double-blind study medication 
dosing compliance will be presented by treatment group for each week, as well as for the whole 
double-blind treatment period of the study for the Safety Population.
Dosing compliance for placebo tablet during a specified period is defined as the doses actually 
taken by a participant during that period divided by the doses expected to be taken during the 
same period multiplied by 100. Descriptive statistics for placebo dose compliance during the 
double-blind treatment period will be presented by treatment group for the Safety Population.
10 Efficacy Analyses
The efficacy analyses will be based on the mITT population. The last-observation-carried-
forward (LOCF) approach will be used to impute missing postbaseline values. Baseline for 
efficacy is defined as the last nonmissing efficacy assessment before the first dose of study 
treatment. All statistical tests will be 2-sided hypothesis tests performed at the 5% level of 
significance for main effects. All confidence intervals will be 2-sided 95% confidence intervals, 
unless stated otherwise.
For efficacy analyses in which study center is a factor, a small center will be defined as a center 
with fewer than 5 participants in the mITT Population. All the small centers will be pooled to 
form a pseudo-center. If the pseudo-center is still a small center, it will be pooled with the 
smallest non-small center. If there is more than one smallest non-small center, the small pseudo-
center will be pooled with the smallest non-small center that has the largest center number.
The rater-administered MADRS will be used for the efficacy analyses.

10.1 Primary and Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
Primary efficacy endpoint:

Change from baseline in MADRS total score at 1 day after first dose
Key secondary efficacy endpoint:

Change from baseline in MADRS total score at Week 3
The primary analysis for the primary and key secondary endpoints will be performed using a 
mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment group, visit, pooled study 
center, and treatment group-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and the baseline value and 
baseline value-by-visit as covariates. An unstructured covariance matrix will be used to model 
the covariance of within-participant scores. The Kenward-Roger approximation will be used to 
estimate denominator degrees of freedom (Kenward and Roger 1997). These analyses will be 
performed based on all postbaseline scores using only the OCs without imputation of missing 
values.
In addition, a sensitivity analysis using the LOCF approach will be performed on the primary
efficacy and key secondary parameters. The between-treatment group comparisons will be 
performed by means of an analysis-of-covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment group and 
study center as factors and the baseline MADRS total score as the covariate. The LOCF 
approach will be used to impute missing postbaseline values, provided that at least 1 postbaseline 
assessment is available. Missing values between the baseline and the first nonmissing 
postbaseline will be imputed with the baseline value.  If all the postbaseline values are missing, 
the baseline value will not be carried forward. Only the total score of a parameter will be 
imputed using the LOCF approach; individual item scores will not be carried forward.
10.2 Multiple Comparisons Procedure
Let H11, H21, H31, H41 represent the comparisons of AGN-241751 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, and
10 mg, respectively with placebo in regarding to the primary efficacy parameter; and let H12,
H22, H32, and H42 represent the comparisons of AGN-241751 0.25 mg, 1 mg, 3 mg, and 10 mg,
respectively with placebo in regarding to the key secondary efficacy parameter, the graphical
procedure as displayed in Figure 10-1 will be employed to control the overall familywise error 
rate (FWER) at α = 0.05. The ϵ in the figure represents a small positive number less than 0.0001.

10.3 Additional Efficacy Endpoints
Additional efficacy endpoints: 

Change from baseline in MADRS total score at 7 days after first dose of treatment

Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) at 1 day 
and 7 days after first dose of double-blind study treatment, and end of double-
blind study treatment period (end of Week 3)

Rate of MADRS sustained responders during treatment

Rate of MADRS and CGI-S responders at 1 day and 7 days after first dose of 
double-blind study treatment, and end of double-blind study treatment period (end 
of Week 3)

Rate of MADRS sustained remitters during treatment

Rate of MADRS remitters at 1 day and 7 days after first dose of double-blind 
study treatment, and end of double-blind study treatment period (end of Week 3)

Time to first response

Time to first sustained response

Time to first remission

Time to first sustained remission
CGI-S responder is defined as patients achieving a score of ≤ 2 on the CGI-S of Illness scale.
During the randomized treatment period, 4 types of events for MADRS total score will be 
defined based on the following criteria:


Allergan Confidential
SAP 3125-201-002           AGN-241751
Page 16 of 30

Responder: ≥ 50% reduction from baseline MADRS total score

Sustained responder: meet responder criteria at ≥ 2 consecutive visits and 
continued through to final assessment

Remitter: MADRS total score ≤ 10

Sustained remitter: meet remitter criteria at ≥ 2 consecutive visits and continued
through to final assessment
MADRS total score is the sum of the 10 items from the MADRS. If more than 2 items of 
MADRS are missing, then the total score will be set to missing.
Additional quantitative efficacy parameters will be analyzed in the following way:
Analysis of change from baseline in MADRS total score and CGI-S score will be performed 
using a similar MMRM for the primary and key secondary endpoints. Baseline CGI-S score will 
be used as a covariate for the analysis of CGI-S score. In addition, these parameters will be 
analyzed using ANCOVA (with LOCF imputation) as used for the analysis of primary efficacy 
parameters.
Additional categorical efficacy parameters will be analyzed in the following way:
Rates for categorical parameters (response and remission) will be reported by treatment group 
and by visit; logistic regression model (with LOCF imputation) will be used to model the 
probability of a response or the probability of a remission as a function of a treatment group and 
the corresponding baseline score as explanatory variables.
Additional time to event efficacy parameters will be analyzed in the following way:
For the time to event type of endpoints, the log-rank test will be performed to compare the 
treatment arms. Kaplan-Meier curves will be plotted for each treatment arm.
11 Safety Analyses
The safety analysis will be performed using the Safety Population. The safety parameters will 
include adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory, vital sign, electrocardiographic (ECG), 
BPRS+, CADSS, C-SSRS, and SDC parameters. For each safety parameters, except AEs, the last 
nonmissing safety assessment before the first dose of double-blind study treatment will be used 
as the baseline for all analyses of that safety parameter. Continuous variables will be summarized 
by number of participants and mean, SD, median, minimum, and maximum values. Categorical 
variables will be summarized by number and percentage of participants.

11.1 Adverse Events
Adverse events will be coded by system organ class and preferred term using the Medical 
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 21.0 or newer.
An AE will be considered a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) if the AE began or 
worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of 
double-blind study treatment.  However, an AE that occurs more than 30 days after the last dose 
of double-blind study treatment will not be counted as a TEAE.  Per case report form 
instructions, a new AE record will be created for any AE that worsens; therefore TEAEs can be 
identified as those AEs with recorded onset date on or after the date of the first dose of double-
blind study treatment and within 30 days after the last dose of double-blind study treatment. For 
participants who enter the double-blind treatment period, but did not enter the safety follow-up 
period, any AE that occurred up to 30 days after the date of the last dose of double-blind study 
treatment, is considered as TEAEs for the double-blind treatment period. For participants who 
entered the safety follow-up period, AEs that occurred on or after the date of Visit 9/ET will be 
considered as TEAEs for the safety follow-up period.  
An AE will be considered a treatment-emergent serious AE (TESAE) if it is a TEAE that 
additionally meets any SAE criteria.
Summaries of TEAEs/AEs will be presented separately for the double-blind treatment period and 
safety follow-up period.
The number and percentage of participants reporting TEAEs in each treatment group will be 
tabulated by system organ class and preferred term. In addition, the number and percentage of 
participants reporting TEAEs in each treatment group will be tabulated by system organ class, 
preferred term, and severity for the double-blind treatment period. The number and percentage of 
participants reporting treatment related TEAEs in each treatment group will be tabulated by 
system organ class and preferred term for the double-blind treatment period.
If more than 1 AE is coded to the same preferred term for the same participant, the participant 
will be counted only once for that preferred term using the most severe for the summarizations 
by severity.
Listings of SAEs and AEs leading to discontinuation by participant will be presented.

Clinical laboratory test values will be considered potentially clinically significant (PCS) if they 
meet either the lower-limit or higher-limit PCS criteria listed in Table 11-2. The number and 
percentage of participants who have PCS postbaseline clinical laboratory values will be tabulated 
by treatment group for the double-blind treatment period. The percentages will be calculated 
relative to the number of participants with available non-PCS baseline values and at least 
1 postbaseline assessment for the double-blind treatment period. The numerator will be the total 
number of participants with available non-PCS baseline values and at least 1 PCS postbaseline 
value for the double-blind treatment period. A supportive tabular display of participants with 
PCS postbaseline values will be provided, including the PID number, baseline and all 
postbaseline (including non-PCS) values. 
In addition, a tabular display showing all AEs that occurred in participants who had PCS 
postbaseline clinical laboratory values will be provided.
The number and percentage of participants meeting potential Hy’s Law criteria (elevation of 
alanine aminotransferase [ALT] or aspartate aminotransferase [AST] ≥ 3x ULN with total 
bilirubin ≥ 2x ULN and alkaline phosphatase < 2x ULN in a 24-hour period) will be tabulated by 
double-blind treatment group starting from the first dose of double-blind study treatment to 
within 30 days after the last dose of double-blind study treatment for the Safety Population. A 
supportive listing will also be provided.

16.2 Repeated or Unscheduled Assessments of Safety Parameters
Baseline is defined as the last assessment made before the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment. If end-of-study assessments are repeated or if unscheduled visits occur, the last 
nonmissing postbaseline assessment will be used as the end-of-study assessment for generating 
summary statistics. However, all postbaseline assessments will be used for PCS value 
determinations, and all assessments will be presented in the data listings.
16.3 Missing Date of the Last Dose of Study treatment 
Since participants will receive their double-blind study treatment doses under the direct 
supervision of study center personnel, the date of the last dose of study treatment will be 
available, i.e. missing data imputation rule is not applicable.

16.4 Missing Severity Assessment for Adverse Events
If severity is missing for an AE that started before the date of the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment, an intensity of mild will be assigned. If severity is missing for an AE that started on or 
after the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, an intensity of severe will be 
assigned. The imputed values for severity assessment will be used for the incidence summary; 
the values will be shown as missing in the data listings.
16.5 Missing Causal Relationship to Study treatment for Adverse Events
If the causal relationship to the double-blind study treatment is missing for an AE that started on 
or after the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, a causality of yes will be 
assigned. The imputed values for causal relationship to double-blind treatment will be used for 
the incidence summary; the values will be shown as missing in the data listings.
16.6 Missing Date Information for Adverse Events
The following imputation rules only apply to cases in which the start date for AEs is incomplete 
(ie, partly missing).
Missing month and day

If the year of the incomplete start date is the same as the year of the first dose of double-blind 
study treatment, the month and day of the first dose of double-blind study treatment will be 
assigned to the missing fields

If the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the first dose of double-blind 
study treatment, December 31 will be assigned to the missing fields

If the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment, January 1 will be assigned to the missing fields
Missing month only

If only the month is missing, the day will be treated as missing and both the month and the 
day will be replaced according to the above procedure
Missing day only

If the month and year of the incomplete start date are the same as the month and year of the 
first dose of double-blind study treatment, the day of the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment will be assigned to the missing day

If either the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the date of the first dose of 
double-blind study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete 
start date is before the month of the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, the 
last day of the month will be assigned to the missing day

start date is after the month of the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, the 
first day of the month will be assigned to the missing day
If the stop date is complete and the imputed start date as above is after the stop date, the start 
date will be imputed by the stop date.
If the start date is completely missing and the stop date is complete, the following algorithm will 
be used to impute the start date:

If the stop date is after the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, the date of 
the first dose of double-blind study treatment will be assigned to the missing start date

If the stop date is before the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, the stop 
date will be assigned to the missing start date
16.7 Missing Date Information for Prior or Concomitant Medications
For prior or concomitant medications, including rescue medications, incomplete (ie, partly 
missing) start dates and/or stop dates will be imputed. When the start date and the stop date are 
both incomplete for a participant, the start date will be imputed first.
16.7.1 Incomplete Start Date
The following rules will be applied to impute the missing numeric fields for an incomplete prior 
or concomitant medication start date. If the stop date is complete (or imputed) and the imputed 
start date is after the stop date, the start date will be imputed using the stop date.
Missing month and day

If the year of the incomplete start date is the same as the year of the first dose of double-blind 
study treatment, the month and day of the first dose of double-blind study treatment will be 
assigned to the missing fields

If the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the first dose of double-blind 
study treatment, December 31 will be assigned to the missing fields

If the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment, January 1 will be assigned to the missing fields
Missing month only

If only the month is missing, the day will be treated as missing and both the month and the 
day will be replaced according to the above procedure

Missing day only

If the month and year of the incomplete start date are the same as the month and year of the 
first dose of double-blind study treatment, the day of the first dose of double-blind study 
treatment will be assigned to the missing day

If either the year of the incomplete start date is before the year of the date of the first dose of 
double-blind study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete 
start date is before the month of the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, the 
last day of the month will be assigned to the missing day.

If either the year of the incomplete start date is after the year of the date of the first dose of 
double-blind study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete 
start date is after the month of the date of the first dose of double-blind study treatment, the 
first day of the month will be assigned to the missing day
16.7.2 Incomplete Stop Date
The following rules will be applied to impute the missing numeric fields for an incomplete prior 
or concomitant medication stop date. If the date of the last dose of study treatment is missing, 
impute it as descripted in Section 15.3. If the imputed stop date is before the start date (imputed 
or nonimputed start date), the imputed stop date will be equal to the start date.
Missing month and day

If the year of the incomplete stop date is the same as the year of the last dose of study 
treatment, the month and day of the last dose of study treatment will be assigned to the 
missing fields

If the year of the incomplete stop date is before the year of the last dose of study treatment, 
December 31 will be assigned to the missing fields

If the year of the incomplete stop date is after the year of the last dose of study treatment, 
January 1 will be assigned to the missing fields
Missing month only

If only the month is missing, the day will be treated as missing and both the month and the 
day will be replaced according to the above procedure
Missing day only

If the month and year of the incomplete stop date are the same as the month and year of the 
last dose of study treatment, the day of the last dose of study treatment will be assigned to the 
missing day

If either the year of the incomplete stop date is before the year of the date of the last dose of 
study treatment or if both years are the same but the month of the incomplete stop date is 
before the month of the date of the last dose of study treatment, the last day of the month will 
be assigned to the missing day

be assigned to the missing day
16.8 Character Values of Clinical Laboratory Parameters
If the reported value of a clinical laboratory parameter cannot be used in a statistical summary 
table because, for example, a character string is reported for a parameter of the numeric type, a 
coded value must be appropriately determined for use in the statistical analyses. The actual 
values, however, as reported in the database will be presented in the data listings.
