2. INTRODUCTION 
This SAP has been developed after review of the clinical study protocol (
 
dated 16 July 2019) and electronic case report form. 
This SAP describes the planned analysis of the pharmacokinetic (PK), efficacy and safety, 
and tolerability data from this study. A detailed description of the planned TFLs to be 
presented in the clinical study report (CSR) is provided in the accompanying TFL shells 
document. 
In general, the analyses are based on information from the protocol, unless they have been 
modified by agreement with Knopp Biosciences LLC. A limited amount of information about 
this study (eg, objectives, study design) is given to help the reader’s interpretation. This SAP 
must be finalized prior to the lock of the clinical database for this study. When the SAP and 
TFL shells are approved, they will serve as the template for this study’s CSR. 
This SAP supersedes any statistical considerations identified in the protocol; where 
considerations are substantially different, they will be so identified and substantiated. If 
additional analyses are required to supplement the planned analyses described in this SAP, 
they may be performed and will be identified accordingly in the CSR. Any substantial 
deviations from this SAP will be approved by Knopp Biosciences LLC and detailed in the 
CSR. 
This SAP is written with consideration of the recommendations outlined in the International 
Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E9 guideline Statistical Principles for Clinical Trials 
and ICH E3 guideline Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports.1,2 
The SAP history is presented in Appendix 1. 
3. STUDY OBJECTIVES 
Primary Objective 
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of dexpramipexole in 
reducing blood eosinophil count in subjects with eosinophilic asthma. 
Secondary Objectives 
The secondary objectives are as follows: 
● To evaluate the safety and tolerability of dexpramipexole administered for 12 weeks 
in subjects with eosinophilic asthma 
● To evaluate the efficacy of dexpramipexole on pulmonary function, asthma control, 
and quality of life 
● To evaluate the relative effect of dexpramipexole 75 mg/day, 150 mg/day, and 
300 mg/day on blood eosinophil count

6. SAMPLE SIZE JUSTIFICATION 
The primary endpoint for this study is reduction in blood eosinophils from Baseline to 
Week 12. In an open label study of dexpramipexole in subjects with chronic rhinosinusitis 
with nasal polyps, dexpramipexole reduced eosinophils by 94% (ratio of endpoint to 
baseline = -2.81 on the log base e scale). The standard deviation for the ratio of endpoint to 
baseline was 1.82 on the log base e scale. 
Nineteen subjects per arm will provide approximately 84% power if the true reduction in 
blood eosinophils is 85% with dexpramipexole and 10% with placebo. The power will be 
95% if the true reduction in blood eosinophils is 90% with dexpramipexole and 10% with 
placebo. The sample size was calculated using methodology for a two-sample t-test. 
Assuming an approximate 20% dropout rate of subjects who do not have the final observation 
for blood eosinophils yields a sample size of 25 subjects per arm to be randomized. 
7. STUDY TREATMENTS 
The study treatment names and ordering to be used in the TFLs are presented in the table 
below.

subjects if they were missing both Week 8 and week 12 FEV1 due to COVID-19. 
Selected outputs as noted in the accompanying TFL shells document will be created for the 
subset of subjects in the efficacy population who were also hematological responders. 
8.4. Recovery Phase Population 
The Recovery Phase population consists of all subjects in the efficacy population who 
completed the Week 16/18 visit (started the Eosinophil Recovery Phase).  
8.5. Per-protocol Population 
The per-protocol population will include all subjects in the efficacy population who have an 
evaluable Week 8 or Week 12 AEC result while on study drug and had adherence ≥80% 
(based on number of tablets returned by subject compared to number expected to be taken 
during the period), and excludes subjects treated with systemic corticosteroids during the 
Primary Assessment Phase. Subjects that had a Baseline eosinophil count of ≤0.05x109/L at 
the Baseline visit lab draw will be excluded from the per protocol analysis, due to the lability 
of their eosinophil count prior to study drug.   
Prior to the IA snapshot and release of treatment codes for the interim analysis, a final 
determination will also be made as to which subjects will be excluded from the per-protocol 
population. This definition may not be modified after the IA snapshot. 
8.6. PK Population 
The PK population will consist of all subjects in the safety population who have at least 1 
quantifiable PK concentration. 
9. STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY 
9.1. General 
Listings will be provided for all data captured in the database. Listings will include all 
subjects assigned to the all subjects population and include all available data. Any subject 
who discontinued from the study will be identified accordingly in the listings. Summaries and 
statistical analyses will include the subjects assigned to the relevant population based on data 
type. 
Data analysis will be performed using the SAS® statistical software package Version 9.4 (or 
higher if upversioned during the study). 
Analysis Data Model (ADaM) datasets will be prepared using Clinical Data Interchange 
Standards Consortium (CDISC) ADaM Version 2.1 (or higher if upversioned during the 
study) and CDISC ADaM Implementation Guide Version 1.1 (or higher if upversioned 
during the study). Pinnacle 21 Community Validator Version 2.2.0 (or higher if upversioned 
during the study) will be utilized to ensure compliance with CDISC standards.

 Version 01 
Where reference is made to ‘all calculations’, this includes, but is not limited to, summary 
statistics, statistical analyses, baseline derivation, changes from baseline, percentage changes 
from baseline, and any parameter derivations. 
9.1.1. Calculation of the Summary Statistics 
For continuous data the following rules will be applied: 
● Missing values will not be imputed, unless specifically stated otherwise. 
● Unrounded data will be used in the calculation of summary statistics. 
● If number of subjects with valid observations (n) <3, summary statistics will not be 
calculated, with the exception of n, minimum, and maximum 
Subjects who discontinue study drug prematurely will be asked to return within 4 days of the 
last dose of study drug for a premature discontinuation visit. Data will be assigned to the 
nearest scheduled visit, if the nearest scheduled visit is Week 12 then data will not be 
included in the Week 12 analyses if it occurred after Study Day 95. 
For categorical data the following rules will be applied: 
● If the categories of a parameter are ordered (eg, AE severity), all categories between 
the possible minimum and maximum categories will be included, even if n = 0 for a 
given category. If the categories are not ordered (eg, race), only those categories for 
which there is at least 1 subject represented will be included. 
● Missing values will not be imputed, with the exception of AEs where the ‘worst-case’ 
approach will be taken (see Section 9.9.1), or unless specifically stated otherwise. A 
‘missing’ category will be included for any parameter for which information is 
missing. This will ensure that the population size totals are consistent across different 
parameters. 
9.1.2. Triplicate Readings 
For electrocardiogram (ECG) data only, where triplicate readings are intended to be taken, 
the mean of triplicate readings will be used in calculations. 
In case of incomplete triplicate readings (eg, only 2 out of 3 readings were recorded), the 
mean based on the number of readings available will be used in calculations. 
9.1.3. Repeat and Unscheduled Readings 
For vital signs and ECG data only, any predose value recorded in addition to the original 
value or a postdose value recorded within 15 minutes of the original value will be defined as 
a repeat value; any postdose value recorded more than 15 minutes after the original value will 
be defined as an unscheduled value. For all other data types (eg, laboratory parameters), any 
value recorded in addition to the planned value(s) will be defined as an unscheduled value. 
For lab data, unscheduled data will be attributed to the nearest visit and for the visit-wise 
summaries and statistical analyses the last non-missing result within a visit will be used for 
all visits apart from Week 12. If there was a valid result at the scheduled Week 12 visit then 


SAP 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
Protocol Reference: KNS-760704-AS201

Page 14 of 36 
 Version 01 
that value will be used for the visit-wise summaries and statistical analyses, if there was not 
then the last non-missing result mapped to Week 12 will be used. 
For non-lab data, unscheduled data will be attributed to the nearest visit and for the visit-wise 
summaries and statistical analyses the last non-missing result within a visit will be used. For 
occasions when a retest was performed, the data from the retest will be mapped to the 
appropriate visit and considered for inclusion in the analysis according to the rules specified 
in other sections of the SAP (i.e. for spirometry data after considering the rules detailed in 
section 9.2 and for other data using the last valid observation within a visit window).  
Unscheduled data for a specific data type (PARAMCD) is only mapped to visits where that 
data type was scheduled to be taken by the protocol Schedule of Events.  Unscheduled data 
will only be mapped to the last scheduled visit for a datatype if it is closer to that visit than to 
a subsequent visit where that procedure was not scheduled, otherwise it will be mapped to the 
nearest visit. Summaries and statistical analyses will only contain the specific protocol 
specified visits for each datatype.  
For the analysis of outliers (shifts) and potentially clinically significant changes (labs, vital 
signs, and ECGs) all data will be used including unscheduled values.  
9.1.4. Definitions of Baseline, Change from Baseline, and Percentage Change from 
Baseline 
Baseline will be defined as the last valid value recorded prior to the first randomized dose of 
study drug, except for blood absolute eosinophil count, for which the Baseline value will 
consist of the geometric mean of all eosinophil counts obtained prior to the first randomized 
dose of study drug. If the date of the value is missing, it will be excluded from the Baseline 
calculation. If the time is incomplete/missing, and if it was an assessment scheduled to occur 
predose, it will still be considered as Baseline unless the incomplete date/time indicates the 
value was recorded after the first randomized dose of study drug. During the Recovery Phase 
data will be compared to Baseline values as detailed above. 
Individual changes from Baseline will be calculated by subtracting the individual subject’s 
Baseline value from the value at the timepoint. The mean change from Baseline will be 
defined as the mean of the individual changes from Baseline for all subjects. 
Individual percentage changes from Baseline will be calculated by subtracting the individual 
subject’s Baseline value from the value at the timepoint, then dividing this calculated value 
by the individual subject’s Baseline value and multiplying by 100. The mean percentage 
change from Baseline will be defined as the mean of the individual percentage changes from 
Baseline for all subjects.  
For Log transformed data geometric means and geometric means of the ratio of observed 
value to Baseline will be presented. The geometric mean ratio will be calculated by 
subtracting the log of the Baseline value from the log of the result at a specific visit, then 
taking the mean, then taking the antilog to get geometric mean ratio. The CI are calculated on 
the log scale and then back transformed by taking the antilog to get back to original scale.

See Section 9.1.3 for more detail on handling repeat and unscheduled readings in the 
calculations. See Section 9.1.2 for more detail on handling of triplicate readings in the 
calculations. 
9.2. Spirometry 
In accordance with professional guidelines available when study specifications were drafted, 
spirometry results were over-read by an independent vendor in accordance with American 
Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) Standardization of Spirometry 
2005 (Eur Respir J. 2005 Aug;26(2):319-38. doi: 10.1183/09031936.05.000348053). 
For these statistical analyses, subsequently published professional guidelines for grading 
FEV1 and FVC were applied (Standardization of Spirometry 2019 Update. An Official 
American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society Technical Statement. Am J 
Respir Crit Care Med. 2019 Oct 15;200(8):e70-e88. doi: 10.1164/rccm.201908-1590ST)4; 
see Figure 2. Screening, Baseline, and Week 12 with either an FEV1 or FVC grade of less 
than A were repeated, if possible (codified in RAPID memo C101104101-626, 2/17/2020) 
(where RAPID stands for Risk, Actions, Protocol Deviations, Issues and Decisions). 
The 
 medical monitor will review the Vitalograph over-read and using the ATS/ERS 
grading system assign an FEV1 score to each spirometry session. 
Figure 2: ATS Spirometry Grading System 
 
Within a given visit window, the following hierarchy will designate which spirometry results 
will be used for statistical analyses. 
● Sessions with an “ACCEPTED” value in the SESSACC field. 
● Sessions with an “A” value in the “FEV1GRADE” field (using FEV1 grading above) 
● Sessions with an “B” value in the “FEV1GRADE” field (using FEV1 grading above) 
● Sessions with an “C” value in the “FEV1GRADE” field (using FEV1 grading above) 
Results from the above will be utilized according to the following data handling 
procedures and study visit windowing rules.

• If 2 sessions within a given visit window both have the same grade and that is the 
highest grade in the window, the latter session will be used in the analysis.   
• The choice of which prebronchodilator and/or post-bronchodilator sessions will be 
used in the analysis will be independently based on selecting the highest graded 
session for each test type, and not necessarily a session that corresponds to the 
same date of the other test type.  
• Any session with an FEV1 grade of D-F or U will be excluded from the analyses.  
• All grading of Week 12 spirometry will be completed before the IA snapshot. 
9.3. Subject Disposition and Population Assignment 
Subject disposition and population assignment will be listed. 
A summary table by treatment will be provided, based on the all randomized subjects 
population. 
9.4. Screening Demographics and Baseline Characteristics 
Demography, medical history and baseline disease characteristic data (duration of symptoms, 
severity of symptom scores, concomitant medication at baseline, etc.) will be summarized at 
study Baseline for the safety population and repeated for the efficacy and per-protocol 
populations.  
Sex, race, and ethnicity will be summarized using counts and percentages. Age, height (cm), 
weight (kg), and body mass index (kg/m2; calculated) will be summarized with descriptive 
statistics (number of subjects [n], mean, standard deviation [sd], median, minimum, and 
maximum). Age will also be summarized according to the categories of less than 50 years, 50 
to 65 years, and more than 65 years, using counts and percentages.  
9.5. Study Drug Details 
Randomization details will be listed. Details of randomized study drug allocation and 
administration will be listed along with adherence. Descriptive statistics will be provided for 
duration of dosing (days) and mean daily dose (mg) of study drug by treatment. The 
frequencies of duration of exposure will also be provided in monthly intervals.  
A frequency table by treatment will be provided for study drug adherence according to the 
following categories: 
● <60% 
● ≥60% and <80% 
● ≥80% and <120% 
● ≥120% 
● >90% and <105% 
Descriptive statistics of the percentage adherence will also be provided by treatment.

 Version 01 
9.6. Prior and Concomitant Medication 
Medications classified as present at baseline are all medications taken prior to the date of first 
dose of randomized study drug which are either ongoing or with a stop date after the first day 
of randomized dosing. Concomitant medications include all medications present at baseline 
and all medications with a start date on or after the date of first dose of randomized study 
medication and prior to or on the date of last dose of randomized study medication. For 
inclusion in the summary of concomitant medications during the Primary Assessment Phase, 
the medication start date must be on or before the date of completion or date of 
discontinuation of the Primary Assessment Phase. Medications with a start date on or after 
the start date of the Recovery Phase will not be included in the summary of concomitant 
medications for the Primary Assessment Phase. 
If the end date/time of a medication is incomplete or missing it will be assumed to be 
concomitant unless the incomplete end date/time indicates the medication finished prior to 
the first dose of randomized study drug or the start date indicates it started in the Recovery 
Phase. 
Baseline and concomitant medications will be coded using the World Health Organization 
Drug Dictionary (WHODrug) Global, Format B3, Version March 2019 (or later if 
upversioned during the study). Baseline and concomitant medications will be summarized by 
ATC Class, Preferred Term and treatment and listed. For the summaries subjects will only be 
counted once per ATC Class and Preferred Term. All baseline and concomitant medication 
will be listed. A separate listing will also be provided for subjects that changed ICS/LABA 
Inhaler Medication during the study (either the type of the medication or the dose). 
9.7. Pharmacokinetic/Efficacy Assessments 
Dexpramipexole concentrations in plasma will be summarized using means, SD, standard 
error of the mean, coefficient of variation, minimum, median, and maximum by treatment per 
visit. The mean of the trough concentrations at Weeks 4, 8 and 12 will be calculated for each 
individual subject and will also be summarized by treatment. A scatterplot of dexpramipexole 
trough concentrations (mean of the 3 trough samples) in plasma will be used to evaluate the 
relationship between dexpramipexole exposure and eosinophil-lowering response at Week 
12. Additional analyses may also be performed following review of the study data. 
A scatterplot of dexpramipexole concentrations in plasma versus change from baseline in 
heart rate (∆HR) and QTc interval (∆QTcF) will also be created for Week 8, predose and 2 h 
12-lead values versus observed dexpramipexole concentrations at the same time points.   
9.8. Efficacy Assessments 
9.8.1. General Methods of Analysis  
The study will use a blocked randomization stratified by study site. Due to the large number 
of study sites and the expected small number of subjects at each site, the data from all sites 
will be pooled. Site will not be included in any of the statistical analysis models. The safety 
population will be used for all safety analyses and the efficacy population will be used for 


SAP

 Version 01 
efficacy analyses. Descriptive statistics, including means, medians, and standard error will be 
presented for efficacy measures for observed values and changes from baseline by scheduled 
evaluation time and treatment group. If the endpoint is one that requires a log transformation, 
then descriptive statistics will be geometric means and ratios. If the endpoint is one that 
requires a rank transformation, then descriptive statistics will be median and intra-quartile 
values.  
To control the alpha level for testing three dose groups versus placebo for the primary 
endpoint and for testing FEV1, a closed hierarchical testing procedure will be used in the 
following order:  
1) First, the 300mg/day dose group will be tested versus placebo for change in blood 
absolute eosinophil count at Week 12, and if this reaches the <0.05 level then,  
2) the 150 mg/day dose group will be tested versus placebo at the 0.05 level for 
change in blood absolute eosinophil count at Week 12, and if this reaches the 
<0.05 level then, 
3) the pooled 150 and 300 mg/day dose groups will be tested versus placebo at the 
0.05 level for change in pre-bronchodilator FEV1 at Week 12 then, 
4) the 75 mg/day dose group will be tested versus placebo at the 0.05 level for 
change in blood absolute eosinophil count at Week 12, and if this reaches the 
<0.05 level. 
Statistical testing for the other secondary study endpoints will be performed at the 0.05 level 
without adjustment. 
The primary endpoint and the secondary endpoints will also be analyzed using the per-
protocol population. 
Values recorded as <x, ≤x, >x, or ≥x will be displayed in the listings as recorded. For the 
derivation of listing flags, calculation of summary statistics, and presentation in the figures, 
<x and ≤x values will be set to half of x, whereas >x and ≥x values will be set to x. 
9.8.2. Interim Analysis (IA) of the Primary Assessment Phase 
There will be an interim analysis of efficacy after the final subject has completed the Primary 
Outcome Visit (Week 12). The interim analysis will include the analyses of the primary and 
secondary efficacy endpoints through the Primary Outcome Visit (Week 12), but will also 
include a review of all available safety and clinical laboratory data, including all available 
data collected from subjects visits beyond Week 12.  
An unblinded statistics and programming team will be assembled to perform the interim 
analysis. The primary statistics and programming study team will retain responsibility for 
performing the final study analyses and will not have access to the IA results and will remain 
blinded until the final database lock.  
The data management, clinical and medical teams responsible for cleaning and performing 
the IA snapshot of the data for the interim analysis will not have access to the IA results and

 Version 01 
will not have access to treatment assignments following the interim analysis.  However, the 
sponsor 
 will have access to the unblinded results and the treatment codes 
following the IA snapshot for the interim analysis.  
At the time of the interim analysis, it is expected that 100% of subjects will have completed 
the study through the Primary Outcome Visit (Week 12).  Furthermore, approximately 50% 
of subjects will also have completed the study through the end of the Eosinophil Recovery 
Phase (Week 24).  The remaining active subjects at the time of the interim analysis will be 
active in the Eosinophil Recovery Phase between Week 12 and Week 24 visits. 
Prior to the release of unblinded treatment codes for the interim analysis, all available data in 
the study database will be cleaned and there will be a formal snapshot of the database. This 
includes collection and cleaning of all data from all subject visits completed prior to the final 
subject randomized completing the Primary Outcome Visit (Week 12). 
Prior to the IA snapshot and release of treatment codes for the interim analysis, a final 
determination will also be made as to which subjects will be excluded from the per-protocol 
population. This definition may not be modified after the IA snapshot. 
There will be no adjustment of p-values for the interim analysis because all subjects will have 
completed the Primary Assessment Phase and the results of the final analysis of efficacy 
through the Primary Assessment Phase should be identical to the results of the interim 
analysis of efficacy through the Primary Assessment Phase. Any changes to the efficacy 
results between the interim analysis of efficacy through Week 12 and the final analysis of 
efficacy through Week 12 will be noted, although none is expected.  
At the same time an analysis of available safety data will be completed: Incidence of AEs and 
AEs leading to discontinuation of study drug; potentially clinically significant changes in 
vital signs, neutrophils; LFTs, and ECGs. This includes data from all subject all visits 
populated in the study database at the time of the interim analysis, 
Safety data from this analysis may be updated for the final analysis, for instance, if an AE 
that was ongoing at Week 12 resolves by the end of the Eosinophil Recovery Phase (final 
database lock). After all subjects complete the End of Study Visit (Week 24), the study 
database will be locked, and the final analysis will be completed see below sections. 
9.8.3. Primary Endpoint Analyses 
The primary endpoint of this study is the change in blood absolute eosinophil count from 
Baseline to Week 12. Absolute eosinophil count will be transformed to the log10 scale. To 
avoid taking the log of zero, zero values (not null values) will be replaced with 5/µL in 
conventional units or 0.005×109/L in the International System of Units (SI), which is 50% of 
the lower limit of quantification. The geometric mean of all eosinophil counts obtained 
between the Screening and Baseline visits will be used to establish the baseline eosinophil 
count used in the efficacy analyses. Geometric means and standard errors will be presented 
by treatment group for observed values ratio to baseline at each visit along with a p-value 
comparing each dexpramipexole treatment group to placebo (ratio to baseline) based on an 
analysis of variance (ANOVA).

A Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) model will be used to analyze the proportion of 
subjects with an AEC of ≤0.05x109/L over time to obtain an estimate of the treatment effect 
and p-value at Week 12. Parameters will be included for treatment, time and the treatment by 
time interaction and GINA as a covariate. A similar analysis will be performed for the 
proportion of subjects with a ≥ 90% reduction of AEC. 
The number and percentage of subjects with eosinophil count rebound (defined as an 
eosinophil count of >1.00x109/L (1000 cells/μL) and >200% of the baseline value during the 
Eosinophil Recovery Phase) will be presented by treatment and timepoint. 
Geometric mean (standard error) profiles for eosinophil counts and ratios to baseline will be 
plotted. 
Eosinophil count recovery (hematologic responders only) will be summarized in a frequency 
table with the number and percentage of subjects who have Eosinophil Count ≥50% of 
Baseline and will be presented from Week 12 to Week 24.  
The ratio to baseline in eosinophil counts will be plotted versus days since last dose of 
randomized study drug for the Recovery Phase population (hematologic responders only) 
including a lowess regression line.  
A scatterplot of change from baseline in FEV1 (y-axis) will be plotted versus the ratio to 
baseline in eosinophil count (x-axis log10 scale). A regression line and appropriate 
correlation coefficient will be added to the figure if appropriate. 
Data for the following endpoints including changes from baseline will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics by treatment and timepoint:  
● Pre and post-bronchodilator Spirometry data (including reversibility) 
● ACQ-7 and ACQ-6 
● AQLQ 
● Basophils 
● Eosinophil Progenitors 
● Nasal Eosinophil Peroxidase 
● Pharyngeal Eosinophil Peroxidase 
● Exhaled Nitric Oxide Test (FeNO) 
During the COVID-19 pandemic, pulmonary function testing was temporarily suspended, 
therefore there will be missing data for FEV1, which also contributes to question 7 of the 
ACQ-7. To minimize the amount of lost data the ACQ-6 will be used as the primary 
assessment of asthma symptoms.  
For ACQ-7, if the 7th item has a missing score then the corresponding total score will be set 
to missing.

 Version 01 
For MMRM analysis of FEV1 the analysis will be performed excluding all results from 
subjects missing both Week 8 and week 12 FEV1 due to COVID-19 exigencies. Due to its 
known pharmacodynamics, dexpramipexole is unlikely to show an effect on FEV1 at the 
week 4 visit and including only week 4 data may lead to misleading bias against 
demonstrating treatment effect; that, the exclusion should not introduce and should eliminate 
bias. Subjects who are missing FEV1 results due to other reasons will be included in the 
analysis.  An analysis of all subjects in the efficacy population will also be performed. 
Additionally, an exploratory analysis of spirometry data using the MMRM analysis will be 
performed including Week 16/18 data in the place of missing Week 12 data, for those 
subjects missing both Week 8 and Week 12 spirometry. 
For MMRM analysis of ACQ-7 the analysis will also be performed excluding subjects 
missing both Week 8 and week 12 FEV1 due to COVID-19. An analysis of all subjects in the 
efficacy population will also be performed.  
At each visit the proportion of subjects with a ≥12% increase in FEV1 relative to Baseline 
will be compared between each active dose (as well as the pooled 150 and 300 mg/day dose 
groups) vs. placebo using a Fisher’s exact test.   
A GEE model will be used to analyse the proportion of subjects with a ≥12% increase in 
FEV1 relative to Baseline over time to obtain an estimate of the treatment effect and p-value 
at Week 12. Parameters will be included for treatment, time and the treatment by time 
interaction and GINA as a covariate. Subjects missing both Week 8 and week 12 FEV1 due 
to COVID-19 will excluded from the analysis. 
For continuous endpoints measured more than once on treatment, the analysis will use the 
method used for the analysis of the primary endpoint, MMRM. The model will contain terms 
for Baseline, the 3 levels of GINA treatment step as a categorical variable, treatment, visit, 
treatment by visit interaction, and baseline by visit interaction as fixed effects, and subject as 
a random effect to compare treatment group effects.  
For continuous endpoints measured only at Baseline and Week 12 the analysis will use 
ANCOVA, adjusting for the Baseline value and the 3 levels of GINA treatment step as a 
categorical variable. If a subject has a missing score at Week 12 and an evaluation was 
performed at the time of drop out, last observation carried forward (LOCF) will be used to 
impute the missing value at Week 12.  
During the analyses residual plots will be assessed to determine if log or rank transformations 
are required. Linear dose response with dose on the log10 scale will be assessed rather than 
log linear if the dependent variable is not log transformed for the analysis. For this analysis a 
value of 1 will be added to all the dose levels to allow for the log10 transformation of the 
placebo dose.   
For FEV1 Reversibility (%) is calculated as: 
 
[FEV1 (post-bronchodilator) – FEV1 (pre-bronchodilator)] x 100)/ FEV1 
(pre-bronchodilator)

and Reversibility (mL) is calculated as:  
 
FEV1 (post-bronchodilator) – FEV1 (pre-bronchodilator). 
 
Frequency tables with the number and percentage of subjects that have a change from 
baseline in ACQ-6 Total Scores at Week 12 of ≥0, <0 to to-0.5, -0.5 to -1.0 and <-1.0 will 
also be presented. The proportion of subjects with a change from baseline in ACQ-6 score ≤-
0.5 will be compared between each active dose and placebo at Week 12 using a Fisher’s 
exact test.   
 
A GEE model will be used to analyze the proportion of change from baseline in ACQ-6 score 
≤-0.5 over time to obtain an estimate of the treatment effect and p-value at Week 12. 
Parameters will be included for treatment, time and the treatment by time interaction and 
GINA as a covariate.  
 
9.9. Safety and Tolerability Assessments 
9.9.1. Adverse Events 
All AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 
Version 22.0 (or higher if upversioned during the study).  
● A placebo run in adverse event will be defined as an AE that starts during the placebo 
run in phase or a pre-existing condition that increases in severity during the placebo 
run in. Placebo run in adverse events will be summarized by System organ class, 
preferred term, and treatment. 
● An Eosinophil Recovery Phase adverse event will be defined as an AE that starts 
during the Eosinophil Recovery phase or an AE that increases in severity during the 
Eosinophil Recovery Phase. Eosinophil Recovery Phase adverse events will be 
summarized by System organ class, preferred term, and treatment. 
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) will be defined as an AE that starts during or 
after the first dose of randomized study drug and within 30 days of the last dose of study 
drug, or starts prior to the first dose of randomized study drug and increases in severity after 
the first dose of randomized study drug.  
A treatment-related TEAE will be defined as a TEAE with a relationship of possibly, 
probably, or definitely related to the study treatment, as determined by the investigator. 
All AEs will be listed. In addition to the data recorded in the database, the listings will 
include derived onset time and duration. Onset time will be calculated from the time of the 
first randomized dose for TEAEs only.  
The frequency of subjects with TEAEs and the number of TEAEs will be summarized for the 
following categories: 
● TEAEs (overall, serious, leading to discontinuation, and leading to death) by 
treatment

● TEAEs by severity and treatment 
● Treatment-related TEAEs (overall, serious, leading to discontinuation, and leading to 
death) by treatment 
● Treatment-related TEAEs by severity and treatment 
The frequency of subjects will be summarized separately for TEAEs and treatment-related 
TEAEs by the following: 
● System organ class, preferred term, and treatment 
● Preferred term and treatment 
● System organ class, preferred term, week of onset from first dose of randomized study 
drug, and treatment for the system organ class of infections and infestations only. 
For the AE data the following rules will apply: 
● For the derivation of TEAE status: If the start date/time of an AE is incomplete or 
missing, an AE will be assumed to be a TEAE, unless the incomplete start date/time 
or the end date/time indicates an AE started prior to the first dose. 
● For the derivation of treatment-related TEAE status: If the study treatment 
relationship for a TEAE is missing, a TEAE will be assumed to be a treatment-related 
TEAE. 
● For the derivation of onset time: If the start date/time of an AE is missing, onset time 
will not be calculated. If the start date/time of an AE is incomplete, where possible, 
the minimum possible onset time will be calculated and presented in ‘≥DD:HH:MM’ 
format (eg, if the date/time of the first randomized dose is 01MAY2019/08:00 and 
recorded start date/time of an adverse event is 03MAY2019, then the minimum 
possible onset time will be calculated by assuming the adverse event started at the 
first hour and minute of 03MAY2019 [03MAY2019/00:00], thus will be presented as 
onset time ≥01:16:00 in the listing). 
● For the derivation of duration: If the end date/time of an AE is missing, duration will 
not be calculated. If the start or end date/time of an AE is incomplete, where possible, 
the maximum possible duration will be calculated and presented in ‘≤DD:HH:MM’ 
format (eg, if the start of an adverse event date/time is 01MAY2019/08:00 and its 
recorded end date/time is 03MAY2019, then the maximum possible duration will be 
calculated by assuming the adverse event ended at the last hour and minute of 
03MAY2019 [03MAY2019/23:59], thus will be presented as duration ≤02:15:59 in 
the listing). 
● For the calculation of summary statistics: AEs for which the severity is missing will 
not have the severity imputed so for summaries by severity are counted only in the 
overall total 
● For the calculation of summary statistics: If a subject experienced multiple TEAEs 
with the same preferred term for the same treatment, this will be counted as 1 TEAE 
for that treatment under the maximum severity recorded or the maximum relatedness 
category.

The number of subjects evaluated and the number and percentage of subjects with the defined 
abnormality at any time post-baseline will be presented by treatment group. The tabulation 
will use all the data up to the last visit of the Primary Assessment Phase including 
unscheduled visits and will also be repeated including the washout visits 
Summary tables by treatment and timepoint will be provided for all vital signs parameters, 
with changes from baseline and percentage changes from baseline.  
9.9.5. 12-lead Electrocardiogram Parameters 
ECG measures as well as change from baseline will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics by visit and by treatment group. Boxplots for HR, QTcF, PR, QRS as well as 
changes from baseline will be produced for the trough values by treatment group. Similar 
boxplots will also be produced containing all timepoints on Week 8 by treatment group. 
The analysis of the effect of dexpramipexole on ECG parameters (HR, QTcF, PR and QRS 
intervals) will be based on a  mixed-effects repeated measures model with change-from-
baseline (∆) of the parameter (∆HR, ∆QTcF, ∆PR and ∆QRS) as the dependent variable; time 
(i.e., post-baseline time point: categorical, using trough values only for Week 8); treatment 
(dexpramipexole and placebo); baseline and baseline by visit interaction and time by 
treatment interaction as fixed effects. An unstructured covariance matrix will be specified for 
the repeated measures at post-baseline time points within subjects. If the model with an 
unstructured covariance matrix fails to converge, other covariance matrices such as

compound symmetry and autoregressive will be considered. From this analysis, the LS mean 
and 2 sided 90% CIs will be calculated for the contrast “dexpramipexole versus placebo” for 
each dose of dexpramipexole at each post-baseline time point. 
The LS mean, standard error (SE), and 2-sided 90% CI from the statistical modeling for the 
change from baseline will be listed in the tables. 
At the Week 8 visit, subjects will have 3 separate ECG assessments performed to evaluate 
potential cardiac drug interactions of albuterol and dexpramipexole. A separate summary will 
be presented for the Week 8 visit, containing the actual values, changes from baseline and 
also the changes from the Week 8 trough value. 
ECG findings that are determined to be PCS will be summarized, examples of PCS ECG 
findings are given below:  
The tabulation will use all the data up to the last visit of the Primary Assessment Phase

The QT/QTc analysis approach will follow the ICH E14 Guideline: The Clinical Evaluation 
of QT/QTc Interval Prolongation and Proarrhythmic Potential for Non-Antiarrhythmic 
Drugs.5 The incidence of AEs potentially related to QTc increase will be presented for 
individual AEs and the incidence will be presented for the pool of any AEs potentially related 
to QTc increase. AEs potentially related to QTc increase will include: torsade de pointes, 
sudden death, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and flutter, syncope, seizures, 
and others identified during a review of all AEs observed in the study. 
For the evaluation of heart rate change, absolute heart rate, and changes from baseline by 
scheduled evaluation time will be tabulated by treatment group. The incidence of subjects 
with >120 beats per minute or an increase from pre-dosing of more than 30 beats per minute 
will be tabulated by treatment group. The incidence of AEs potentially related to heart rate 
increase will be presented for individual AEs and the incidence will be presented for the pool 
of any AEs potentially related to heart rate increase. A tabulation of AEs that could be linked 
to a heart rate effect of the drug will be presented with appropriate grouping of terms, e.g.: 
a) Preferred terms: related to myocardial ischemia (angina, AMI, unstable angina, 
etc.) 
b) Preferred terms related to congestive heart failure 
c) Preferred terms related to tachycardia (atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, ventricular 
tachycardia, etc.) 
d) Cardiac serious adverse events (SAEs) and relevant SAEs in the general System 
Organ Class (e.g., sudden death). 
The maximum postdose QT and QTcF values in the Primary Assessment Phase will be 
summarized (number of subjects) by treatment according to the following categories:

Summaries will also be produced for QT and QTcF fulfilling this criteria at each timepoint. 
PR and QRS values will be summarized by treatment (number of subjects and number of 
time points) according to the following categories: 
• ∆PR>25% AND a PR value >220 ms 
• ∆QRS>25% AND a QRS value > 110 ms

Following the assignment of category and subcategory, each PD is assessed to assure the 
designation as Important or Not Important is valid. Important designation depends on the 
event having impinged on subject safety, subject well-being, or trial data. 
During execution of this clinical trial, procedural restrictions due the COVID-19 global 
pandemic were implemented for subject and site personnel protection. Spirometry, FeNO, 
and nasal/pharyngeal swab collection were temporarily discontinued from March 2020 to 
May 2020. PD resulting from these exigencies are additionally identified 
All PD will be listed in the CSR by subject and timepoint of occurrence and will specify if 
related to COVID-19 study restrictions. Important PD will be summarized by deviation type 
and by treatment assignment and will specify if related to COVID-19 study restrictions.  
Prior to the interim analysis, an attempt will be made to identify and characterize PD for the 
‘all subjects’ population (e.g., all subjects who signed the ICF and had any study assessment 
recorded in the database).

10. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FROM THE PROTOCOL-SPECIFIED ANALYSES 
The definition of hematologic responder was modified from the original protocol definition 
of “≥90% reduction of blood eosinophil count, from Baseline to Week 12” to “Week 12 
blood eosinophil count of ≤0.05x109/L”. The change was made to define the responder group 
more closely with the known pharmacodynamics of the drug.  
Several subjects missed Pulmonary Function Tests due to COVID-19.  For the analysis of 
pulmonary function tests the MMRM analysis will exclude subjects if they were missing both 
Week 8 and week 12 FEV1 due to COVID-19. Dexpramipexole is unlikely to show an effect 
on FEV1 at the week 4 visit and including only week 4 data may bias results against 
dexpramipexole. Normally it is inappropriate to exclude subjects with missing data from the 
analysis but when the exclusion is because they missed the evaluation because of COVID-19 
that should not introduce bias. Subjects who are missing FEV1 due to other reasons will be 
included in the analysis 
For the analysis of ACQ-7 (which includes an FEV1 item) the MMRM analysis will exclude 
subjects if they were missing both Week 8 and week 12 FEV1 due to COVID-19. 
To control the alpha level for testing 3 dose groups versus placebo for the primary endpoint 
and for testing FEV1, a closed hierarchical testing procedure was originally planned to be in 
the following order:  
1. First, the 300mg/day dose group will be tested versus placebo for change in blood 
absolute eosinophil count at Week 12, and if this reaches the <0.05 level then,  
2. the 150 mg/day dose group will be tested versus placebo at the 0.05 level for 
change in blood absolute eosinophil count at Week 12, and if this reaches the 
<0.05 level then, 
3. the 75 mg/day dose group will be tested versus placebo at the 0.05 level for 
change in blood absolute eosinophil count at Week 12, and if this reaches the 
<0.05 level then, 
4. the pooled 150 and 300 mg/day dose groups will be tested versus placebo at the 
0.05 level for change in FEV1 at Week 12. 
the pooled 150 and 300 mg/day dose groups analysis of change in FEV1 at Week 12 was 
moved up to the 3rd test and the 75 mg/day dose group tested versus placebo was moved 
down to the 4th test. 
For all the covariate adjustment analyses, GINA treatment steps 3-5 will be used as a 
categorical variable with 3 levels (3,4,5) instead of two levels 3 vs. 4/5 because each of the 3 
levels may have a different prognostic level for the outcome measures.

An analysis of the proportion of subjects with an AEC of ≤0.05x109/L and for proportion of 
subjects with a ≥ 90% reduction of AEC will be performed using GEE to obtain the estimated 
treatment effect at Week 12. Similar analyses will also be performed for the proportion of 
subjects with a ≥12% increase in FEV1 and the proportion of subjects with a change from 
baseline in ACQ-6 score ≤-0.5. 
Specific criteria defining the per-protocol population were included in section 7.5 of the
