PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 6. Indemnification of Officer Holders (Including Directors).
Under the Israeli Companies Law 1999, or the Companies Law, a company may not exculpate an office holder from liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty. An Israeli company may exculpate an office holder in advance from liability to the company, in whole or in part, for damages caused to the company as a result of a breach of duty of care, but only if a provision authorizing such exculpation is included in the companys articles of association. Our articles of association to be effective immediately prior to the closing of this offering include such a provision. The company may not exculpate in advance a director from liability arising out of a prohibited dividend or distribution to shareholders.
Under the Companies Law, a company may indemnify an office holder for the following liabilities, payments and expenses incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, either pursuant to an undertaking given by the company in advance of the act or following the act, provided its articles of association authorize such indemnification:
|
a monetary liability imposed on him or her in favor of another person pursuant to a judgment, including a settlement or arbitrators award approved by a court. However, if an undertaking to indemnify an office holder with respect to such liability is provided in advance, then such an undertaking must be limited to events which, in the opinion of the board of directors, can be foreseen based on the companys activities when the undertaking to indemnify is given, and to an amount, or according to criteria, determined by the board of directors as reasonable under the circumstances. Such undertaking shall detail the foreseen events and amount or criteria mentioned above; |
|
reasonable litigation expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the office holder (1) as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea); and (2) in connection with a monetary sanction; and |
|
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf, or by a third party, or in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or as a result of a conviction for an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent (mens rea). |
In addition, under the Companies Law, a company may insure an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed by him or her as an office holder, if and to the extent provided in the companys articles of association:
|
a breach of a duty of loyalty to the company, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company; |
|
a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party, to the extent such a breach arises out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; and |
|
a monetary liability imposed on the office holder in favor of a third party. |
II-1
Under the Companies Law, a company may not indemnify, exculpate or insure an office holder against any of the following:
|
a breach of the duty of loyalty, except for indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not harm the company; |
|
a breach of the duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder; |
|
an act or omission committed with intent to derive illegal personal benefit; or |
|
a fine or penalty levied against the office holder. |
Under the Companies Law, for the approval of exculpation, indemnification and insurance of office holders who are executive officers, directors and controlling shareholders, see the section of the prospectus that forms a part of this Registration Statement entitled ManagementApproval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law.
Our amended and restated articles of association to be effective immediately prior the closing of this offering permit us to exculpate, indemnify and insure our office holders to the fullest extent permitted under the Companies Law (other than indemnification for litigation expenses in connection with a monetary sanction).
We have entered into indemnification and exculpation agreements with each of our current office holders exculpating them from a breach of their duty of care to us to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law and undertaking to indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law.
We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation or proceeding involving any of our office holders as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any office holder.
The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement provides for indemnification of our office holders by the underwriters against certain liabilities.
Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

II-2
The sales and issuances of the above securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon (i) Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, including Regulation S promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering or involving offers and sales of securities outside the United States (ii) Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, as exchanges of our securities with our existing security holders and no commission or remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchanges, or (iii) Rule 701, as issuances under our equity incentive plans.
Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
|
The Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated herein by reference. |
|
Financial Statement Schedules. |
All schedules have been omitted because they are not required, are not applicable or the information is otherwise set forth in the Financial Statements and related notes thereto.
Item 9. Undertakings.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
|
To provide the underwriters specified in the Underwriting Agreement, at the closing, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. |
|
That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
|
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |

In the event VASCULAR BIOGENICS requests a custom export format, the export specification will be developed by BIOCLINICA in collaboration with VASCULAR BIOGENICS. The additional time and costs associated with a custom export are not reflected in this agreement. VASCULAR BIOGENICS will be notified of such increases in writing for approval.
2.4.2. | Data Cleaning and Maintenance |
BIOCLINICA will work in collaboration with VASCULAR BIOGENICS at the start of the study to define protocol-specific fields to be checked at regularly scheduled intervals. This includes but is not limited to the following:
| Comparison of demographic information (Site, Subject, Initials, Exam Date(s), etc.) collected by BIOCLINICA against those provided by the client enrollment log |
| Chronological date progression (e.g., ensure that the date of Visit 2 is later than Visit 1, no images acquired after a Date of Death if applicable.) |
| Data derived by the independent image review application |
Standard Edit Checks
Standard edit checks are composed of checks for technical quality such as identifying duplicate records within a table and table-to-table comparisons by key parameters (e.g. site number, subject number) to assure subjects appear in all applicable tables. These checks also compare and reconcile key parameters of the data housed in BioREAD compared to BioPACS.
Study Specific Checks
Study-specific edit checks are developed for each study based on the response criteria that is utilized as well as other study related requirements that are defined in the Read Management Plan.
Edit Check Management
Edit Checks are performed regularly on the image read data to allow identification of any data discrepancies. Any data discrepancies noted in the output are investigated by a BIOCLINICA Clinical Data Manager to identify the reason for the output. The Clinical Data Manager works with the internal project team (Medical Affairs, Clinical Operations, Applications Development, Clinical Application Technical Services, and Project Management) to resolve data discrepancies appropriately. If any database updates are performed in resolving the discrepancies, the edit checks are re-run to insure no new issues arise. This is an iterative process and continues until all edit checks are resolved.
2.4.3. | Data Export |
BIOCLINICA will export data as SAS datasets unless otherwise specified. BIOCLINICA will perform a final QC of the data prior to submission to VASCULAR BIOGENICS.
BIOCLINICA will perform a transfer of test data to ensure that VASCULAR BIOGENICS can successfully receive data and the data meets the provisions of the specification document. The final data will be sent to VASCULAR BIOGENICS within ten (10) business days after all the data for a given export has been acquired.

Global Summary
1 | See Study Specific Assumptions and Pricing Model, herein. Budget excludes any TBO (To Be Determined) items. |
Global Summary - Laboratory Testing (LT)
1LT | Quoted fees reflect Quest Diagnostics Clinical Trials Year 2012 Fee Schedule. |
2LT | Fees quoted tor testing services performed are exclusive of any applicable added Taxes (including Value Added Tax (VAT)). |
3LT | The sample testing fees include the receipt of samples Into a Quest Diagnostics-owned, affiliate or alliance partner laboratory. the direct costs associated with the laboratory testing of the samples, retention of the unused samples for a maximum of fourteen (14) days, laboratory quality control and global standardisation of equipment, processes, controls and calibrators. |
4LT | The sample testing fees also include the distribution of interim result reports (per patient visit) and final result reports lo Investigator(s) and/or Clients/CROs as applicable and agreed in the Central Laboratory Worksheet. Any final result reports Issued in hard copy will be sent via standard postal service or (within the continental United States only) Quest Diagnostics-US proprietary courier. |
5LT | It is Quest Diagnostics Clinical Trials (Quest) experience that Investigator sites experience significant challenges producing a peripheral blood smear ( PBS ) of sufficient quality for an appropriate hematology laboratory PBS review. Therefore, it is standard Quest practice to not provide glass slides and to not require the sites to make PBS slides . The performance by Quest of a routine safety CBC analysis (hematology) does Involve the occasional review of PBS slides for the white blood cell morphology and differential, red blood cell morphology and platelet evaluation if the instrument or the SOP flags the specimen for a PBS slide review. The PBS slide can be appropriately created and reviewed in the majority of cases by the laboratory from the submitted CBC sample if a review is required. |
6LT | If the protocol requires a PBS slide review then glass microscope slides will be provided to the site(s) for each appropriate visit so that the site can create and provide a PBS to the central laboratory. Protocols where in our experience peripheral blood smears are recommended Include significant hematological/bone marrow abnormalities (white or red cell, platelet abnormalities), leukaemias, HIV clinical trials, sepsis, or other severe Illnesses that would be impacting the hematological system. Our scientific affairs and medical affairs teams are available to further discuss the needs of your protocol regarding any requirements for PBS creation by the site or by the laboratory and PBS slide review by the Quest laboratory. Please could you confirm if this protocol requires a peripheral blood smear review or if subjects in this study are expected to have hematological abnormalities where we would recommend the preparation of peripheral blood smears at the investigator site. |
7LT | CBC and Peripheral blood smear pricing are based on assumptions received at the point of preparing this quotation. Quest Diagnostics reserves the right to adjust these pertinent to further discussion with the customer. |
Global Summary - Supplies (SL)
* | The Worst Case Supplies total is representative of individual ambient shipping containers for individual patient visit ambient shipments and reflects the Worst Case Scenario. The Estimated Total reflects the assumption that 1,5 patient visits are batched per ambient shipment. |

Protocol VB-201-064 | VB-201 |
4 | INTRODUCTION |
4.1 | Ulcerative Colitis: Pathophysiology and Unmet Medical Need |
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory disease of the colon and rectum characterized by alternating episodes of remission and spontaneous relapse.1,3 The extent and severity of colon involvement are variable. In its most limited form it may be restricted to the distal rectum (ulcerative proctitis), while in its most extended form the entire colon is involved (pancolitis).
Because Crohns disease (CD) can involve the colon and shares clinical manifestations with UC, these entities are each considered as an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although they are clearly distinct entities. UC is the most common form of IBD worldwide. In contrast to CD, UC is a disease of the mucosa that is less prone to complications and can be cured by means of total colectomy.
Bloody diarrhea with or without mucus is the hallmark of UC. Other clinical characteristics of UC include non-bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and extra-intestinal manifestations involving the skin, liver and other sites.4
Although the etiology of UC is unknown, a dysregulation or overstimulation of the mucosal immune system is suspected of playing a key role in the pathophysiology of intestinal inflammation and contributes to mucosal ulceration.5,7
Common treatments for UC include 5-aminosalicylic acids (5-ASAs), glucocorticoids, various oral immunosuppressants, and biological agents, including inhibitors of Tumor Necrosis Factor- a (TNF- a ). These treatments may provide clinical benefit, reduce the signs and symptoms of disease, and improve subjects quality of life; however, they usually do not significantly alter the long-term course of the disease or its underlying immunopathology. Unfortunately, adverse effects are common with these interventions and may be severe. Therefore, there is an unmet medical need for effective, safe and well-tolerated orally effective products for inducing and maintaining remission in UC subjects.
Vascular Biogenics Ltd (VBL) has developed a small molecule, VB-201 (formerly known as CI-201) a new class of compounds, oxidized phospholipid analogs (lecinoxoids). [***]
Given the putative TLR complicity in UC, VB-201 has the potential to be an orally active drug for treating UC.
The current study is designed to test the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of an oral preparation of VB-201 in subjects with active UC.

11.1 | Definition of Adverse Event |
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, whether or not the event has a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. This definition includes intercurrent illnesses, accidents or injuries, exacerbations or preexisting conditions, changes on physical examination or physiological testing, abuse of drugs, or withdrawal reactions.

11.2 | Definition of Serious Adverse Event |
In addition to the severity rating, each AE is to be classified by the Investigator as serious or not serious. The seriousness of an event is defined according to the applicable regulations and generally refers to the outcome of an event. A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:

[***]
11.3 | Reporting and Documentation |
The Investigator must report all directly observed AEs and all spontaneously reported AEs. At each visit the Investigator will ask the subject a nonspecific question (e.g., Have you noticed anything different since your last visit?) to assess whether any AEs have been experienced since the last report or visit. AEs will be identified and documented on the AE page of the eCRF in appropriate medical terminology. Details of the event must include seriousness, severity, relationship to study drug, duration, action taken, and outcome.
The action(s) taken regarding the AE are classified as follows:
Treatment for event
| None |
| Concomitant medication given or changed |
| Hospitalization |
| Other |
| Unknown (only applicable if subject has been lost to follow up). |
Action taken with study medication
| None |
| Temporary discontinuation |
| Permanent discontinuation |
| Unknown (only applicable if subject has been lost to follow up). |
The outcome of the AE is classified as follows
| Recovered |
| Recovered with sequelae |
| Not recovered |

Protocol VB-201-064 | VB-201 |
| Death |
| Unknown (only applicable if subject has been lost to follow up). |
Furthermore it must be stated if the study was discontinued permanently for the subject (yes, no) due to the AE/ SAE.
The Principal Investigator is responsible for evaluating all AEs, obtaining supporting documents, and determining that documentation of the event is adequate. The Principal Investigator may delegate these duties to Sub-Investigators and must assure that these Sub-Investigators are qualified to perform these duties under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.
In the event that a subject is withdrawn from the study because of an AE, it must be recorded on the eCRF. The subject should be followed and treated by the Investigator until the AE has resolved or a new chronic baseline has been established.
Any SAE, whether or not considered related to the study drug, must be reported immediately (within 24 hours) upon learning of the event (See Study Manual). The Investigator or his designee should complete the study-specific SAE Report Form. Investigators should not wait to collect additional information that fully documents the event before notifying VBL or its designee of a SAE. Contact numbers for reporting SAEs and events of concern will be provided prior to the start of the study.
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to report SAEs to their IRB/IEC according to the standard operating procedures and policies of the IRB or IEC. At a minimum, events identified by the Sponsor to require expedited reporting as serious, unexpected, and possibly related to study drug must be brought to the attention of the responsible IRB/IEC. Adequate documentation must be provided to VBL or its designee that the IRB or IEC was properly notified.
11.4 | Subject Stopping Rules |
The following stopping rule will be utilized in this study:
| [***] |
Subjects who permanently discontinue study medication shall return for an Early Termination Visit and subsequently for a final safety visit 4 weeks from the last dose.

13.5 | Subject Confidentiality |
The Investigator must ensure that the subjects anonymity is maintained. In the eCRFs or other documents submitted to the Sponsor and/or designated CRO, subjects should be identified by a subject identification number and/or randomization number.
Documents that are not for submission to the Sponsor and/or designated CRO (e.g., signed informed consent forms and subject information sheets) should be kept in strict confidence by the Investigator in compliance with local regulations/ICH GCP Guidelines. It is required that the Investigator and institution permit authorized representatives of the Sponsor, of the regulatory agency, and the IRB/IEC direct access to review the subjects original medical records for verification of study-related procedures and data.
Direct access includes examining, analyzing, verifying, and reproducing any records and reports that are important to the evaluation of the study. The Investigator is obligated to inform the subject that his/her study-related records will be reviewed by the above named representatives, although the confidentiality of his/her records will be maintained as much as reasonably possible. For the purposes of the study, only the data set forth in this protocol (including the CRFs) will be obtained regarding participating subjects (whether screen failures or enrolled subjects). Such data shall:
| be processed in accordance with this Protocol or as otherwise instructed by the Sponsor; |
| be processed solely for the purposes of the study and in the manner specified in this Protocol; |
| not be processed in any manner incompatible with the purposes of the study; |
| be accurate, up to date and corrected to address any inaccuracies or omissions; |

| be maintained (as specified in this Protocol/using reasonable measures) to protect against accidental or unlawful destruction, accidental loss or damage, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access and against other unauthorized or unlawful forms of processing; |
| not be disclosed to any third party without the Sponsors prior written consent; and |
| be maintained as detailed in Section 13.3 unless a longer period is required by applicable laws or regulations. |
Any reasonably requested assistance shall be provided to assist the Sponsor to enable it to comply with any data-related notification obligations under applicable laws or regulations. The Sponsor shall be promptly informed of any communication received from a study subject regarding the data collected about him/her in connection with the study.
14 | ETHICS |
14.1 | Ethical Conduct of the Study |
The study will be conducted in accordance with applicable national and international laws and regulations, the ICH-GCP guideline and the ethics principles that have their origins in the Declaration of Helsinki. The protocol and the proposed informed consent form must be reviewed and approved by a properly constituted IEC/IRB before study start at a particular study site. Prior to study start, the Principal Investigator is required to sign the protocol signature page (page 3 of this study protocol) confirming his/her agreement to conduct the study in accordance with these documents and all of the instructions and procedures found in this protocol, and to give access to all relevant data and records to monitors, auditors, IRBs/IECs, and regulatory authorities as required.
14.2 | Local Regulatory Approval |
The Sponsor or the CRO will supply the Competent Authorities of each participating country with a dossier containing the required pharmacological, toxicological and pharmaceutical data on the compound, so as to obtain import and study approval. The study will not start in that country until this has been obtained where appropriate.
14.3 | Ethics Committee Approval |
The Principal Investigator at each site is responsible for obtaining IRB or IEC approval for the protocol, informed consent form/ information sheet, and any advertisements to recruit subjects before being implemented at the investigative site. Written approval of these documents must be obtained from the committee before any subject is enrolled at a center.
The Principal Investigator is also responsible for the following interactions with the IRB/IEC:

Protocol VB-201-064 | VB-201 |
| Obtaining IRB/IEC approval for any protocol amendments and informed consent form revisions before implementing the changes; |
| Providing the IRB/IEC with any required information before or during the study; |
| Submitting progress reports to the IRB/IEC, as required, during the conduct of the study; requesting re-review and approval of the study, as needed; providing copies of all IRB/IEC re-approvals and relevant communication to the CRO or the Sponsor; |
| Notifying the IRB/IEC of all serious and unexpected AEs related to the study drug reported by the Sponsor or the CRO, as required. Documentation of this notification should be retained. |
14.4 | Subject Information and Informed Consent |
No Investigator may involve a human being as a subject in research unless the Investigator has obtained the legally effective informed consent of the subject or the subjects legally authorized representative. An Investigator shall seek such consent only under circumstances that provide the prospective subject or the subjects legally authorized representative sufficient opportunity to consider whether or not to participate, and that minimize the possibility of coercion or undue influence. The information that is given to the subject or the representative shall be in a language understandable to the subject or representative.
The Sponsor or its designated representative will provide the Investigator with a sample consent form. Local and/or institutional requirements may require disclosure of additional information in the informed consent. Any changes to the consent form must be submitted to the Sponsor or its designated representative for approval prior to submission to the IRB/IEC. The IRB/IEC must review the consent form for approval/favorable opinion, and a copy of the approved consent form must be submitted to the Sponsor or its designated representative prior to initiation of the study.
Before implementing any study procedure, informed consent shall be documented by the use of an IRB/IEC approved written consent form signed and dated by the subject or the subjects legally authorized representative at the time of consent. A copy of the signed informed consent will be given to the subject or the subjects legally authorized representative. The original signed consent must be maintained by the Investigator and available for inspection by the Sponsor, its designated representative, or regulatory authority at any time.
15 | PUBLICATION |
The Sponsor recognizes the importance of communicating clinical study data and therefore it is the intent of the Sponsor to publish the results of this trial, the details of which will be provided in the Clinical Study Agreement.

3.0 | INTRODUCTION |
3.1 | Psoriasis: Pathophysiology and Unmet Medical Need |
Psoriasis is a life-long, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease of unknown etiology, affecting up to 3% of the general population, with rates varying among geographic areas and races. 1 Over 80% of patients have chronic plaque psoriasis, characterized by recurrent exacerbations and remissions of thickened, erythematous, scaly patches of skin that can occur anywhere on the body.
Psoriatic symptoms can cause physical discomfort (pain and pruritus), and when combined with the psychological effects of the disease often interfere with everyday activities and negatively impact a patients quality of life. 2,3 While there are many available treatments, these agents each have limited efficacy and/or significant side effects. Thus, there remains a significant unmet need for a therapy that will provide high continuous efficacy and improved safety profile.
It is currently believed that environmental factors, including microorganisms, instigate a cascade of events which lead to psoriasis initiation. 4 Once encountered by microbial components, toll-like receptors (TLR) expressed on keratinocytes and dermal dendritic cells mediate the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-1, IL-12 and IL-23. 5,6 These cytokines induce the generation of Th1 and Th17 cells which promote psoriasis pathogenesis. 7,8,9
Vascular Biogenics Ltd (VBL) has developed a small molecule, VB-201 (formerly known as CI-201 as seen in some of the figures) a new class of compounds, oxidized phospholipid analogs (lecinoxoids). VB-201 was found to inhibit TLR signaling restricted to TLR2 and TLR4, an effect attributed to its binding to TLR2 and CD14. Consequently, when activated using TLR4 and TLR2 agonists in the presence of VB-201, antigen presenting cells showed impaired production of the Th1 and Th17- polarizing cytokines IL-12(p40) and IL-6 respectively.
Given the putative TLR complicity in psoriasis, VB-201 has the potential to be an orally active drug for treating psoriasis.
The current study is designed to test safety, efficacy, and tolerability of an oral preparation of VB-201 in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis.

All boxes of study drug, both used and unused, must be saved for a drug audit by the Sponsor clinical monitor or an assigned designee. Once dispensed to the study subjects the study drug should be stored at room temperature. Subjects should be instructed on the proper storage methods and conditions.
6.3 | Accountability |
Study drug (VB-201 and placebo) will be supplied by the Sponsor. It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to supervise accurate monitoring of the receipt, storage, dispensing, and accounting of all study drug according to accepted medical and pharmaceutical practice.
Copies of all invoices of study drug shipments must be retained. Accurate, original site records of study drug inventory and dispensing must be maintained using the forms provided. All shipment, accountability, and dispensing records must be made available for inspection by the Sponsor or the designated CRO upon request.
Each site must keep all used and unused cartons in their original kit packaging until the Study Monitor either arranges return to the distribution center or gives instruction on their disposal. If any unused cartons remain at the end of the study, they will be accounted for at the Site Close-Out Visit in the presence of the Study Monitor, who will provide instructions on their disposal. If the Study Monitor directs the site to dispose of study drug or empty blister packs, disposal should be according to the institution standard operating procedures and all applicable local and national regulations.
6.4 | Access to Blinded Treatment |
A subjects treatment assignment should only be unblinded when knowledge of the treatment is essential for the further management of the subject. Unblinding for any other reason will be considered a protocol violation.

Protocol VB-201-079 | VB-201 |
The Principal Investigator should make every effort to contact either the CRO or the Sponsor before unblinding any subjects treatment assignment, but must do so within one working day after the event and must document the unblinding in the subjects source documentation.
The identity of the treatment group assigned to subjects can be provided, in an emergency only, by the centralized randomization system via the CRO. The Principal Investigator or his/her designee is responsible for ensuring that the instructions on how to perform a code break are stored safely, that their location is known, and that access is readily available to the relevant staff in case of an emergency. A separate Sponsor representative who is not involved with the study will also have access to unblinding information if required.
The CROs safety officer will report SUSARs on the Sponsors behalf and will break the blind for SUSAR reporting.

10.3 | Reporting and Documentation |
The Investigator must report all directly observed AEs and all spontaneously reported AEs. At each visit the Investigator will ask the subject a nonspecific question (e.g., Have you noticed anything different since your last visit?) to assess whether any AEs have been experienced since the last report or visit. AEs will be identified and documented on the AE page of the CRF in appropriate medical terminology. Details of the event must include severity, relationship to study drug, duration, action taken, and outcome.
The action(s) taken regarding the AE are classified as follows:
Treatment for event
| None |
| Concomitant medication given or changed |
| Hospitalization |
| Others |
| Unknown (only applicable if patient has been lost to follow up). |
Action taken with study medication
| None |

The outcome of the AE is classified as follows
| Recovered |
| Recovered with sequelae |
| Not recovered |
| Death |
| Unknown (only applicable if patient has been lost to follow up). |
Furthermore it must be stated if the study was discontinued permanently for patient (yes, no) due to the AE/ SAE
The Principal Investigator is responsible for evaluating all AEs, obtaining supporting documents, and determining that documentation of the event is adequate. The Principal Investigator may delegate these duties to Sub-investigators and must assure that these Sub-investigators are qualified to perform these duties under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.
In the event that a subject is withdrawn from the study because of an AE, it must be recorded on the CRF. The subject should be followed and treated by the Investigator until the AE has resolved or a new chronic baseline has been established.
Any SAE, whether or not considered related to the study drug, must be reported immediately (within 24 hours) upon learning of the event (See Study Manual). The Investigator or his designee should complete the study-specific SAE Report Form. Investigators should not wait to collect additional information that fully documents the event before notifying VBL or its designee of an SAE. Contact numbers for reporting SAEs and events of concern will be provided prior to the start of the study.
It is the responsibility of the Investigator to report SAEs to their IRB/IEC according to the standard operating procedures and policies of the IRB or EC. At a minimum, events identified by the Sponsor to require expedited reporting as serious, unexpected, and possibly related to study drug must be brought to the attention of the responsible IRB/IEC. Adequate documentation must be provided to VBL or its designee that the IRB or EC was properly notified.

12.0 | DATA RECORDING, MONITORING, AND RETENTION |
12.1 | Source Documents |
Source records are original documents, data, and records (e.g., medical records, raw data collection forms, pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated instruments, laboratory data) that are relevant to the clinical trial. The Investigator will prepare and maintain adequate and accurate source documents. These documents are designed to record all observations and other pertinent data for each subject enrolled in this clinical trial. Source records must be adequate to reconstruct all data transcribed onto the Case Report Forms (CRFs).
12.2 | Case Report Forms (CRFs) |
All data will be recorded on electronic data capture (EDC) system CRFs provided by the Sponsor or its designee. All electronic case report forms (eCRFs) should be completed by designated study personnel in a timely fashion.
All missing data must be explained in the subjects source record. All eCRFs must be reviewed and verified by the investigator for accuracy, completeness, legibility, and timeliness of reporting to the Sponsor.
12.3 | Record Retention |
Investigators are required to maintain all study documentation, informed consent forms and subject information sheets and adequate records for the receipt and disposition of all study drugs in a secure and safe facility.
VBL Confidential Information |

|
Portions of this exhibit have been omitted and filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a confidential treatment request and are indicated by [***]. |
Protocol VB-201-079 | VB-201 |
Essential documents must be retained for at least 2 years following the FDA or other regulatory approval date of the drug, or until two years after the drug investigational program is discontinued unless a longer period is required by applicable law or regulation. Only the Sponsor can notify an Investigator when any records may be discarded. If the investigator wishes to assign responsibility for the study records to another party or have them moved to another location, the Sponsor must be notified in advance. When the study documents no longer need to be retained, it is the responsibility of the Sponsor to inform the investigator/institution. Subject identity information will be maintained for 15 years unless a longer period is required by applicable law or regulation.
12.4 | Monitoring Requirements |
Following pre-qualification and initiation of the study site, periodic monitoring visits will be made by the Sponsor or its designated representative. The investigator must provide sufficient space and allocate sufficient time for the monitor to inspect subject source records, case report forms, drug accountability records, and regulatory documents.
The study monitor is responsible for visiting the study site at regular intervals to verify the following:
| The rights and well-being of human Patients are protected; |
| The reported data are accurate, complete, and verifiable from source documents; |
| The conduct of the trial is in compliance with the currently approved protocol, amendment(s), International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practices (GCP), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and any other applicable national and local regulatory requirements. |
The study monitor should have access to subject medical records and other study-related records needed to verify the entries in the database.
The Investigator must make study data accessible to the study monitor, the Sponsor, authorized representatives of the Sponsor (e.g., CRO), and Regulatory Agencies/Competent Authorities upon request.
12.5 | Subject Confidentiality |
The Investigator must ensure that the subjects anonymity is maintained. On the CRFs or other documents submitted to the Sponsor and/or designated CRO, Patients should be identified by a Subject Identification number and/or randomization number.
Documents that are not for submission to the Sponsor and/or designated CRO (e.g., signed informed consent forms and subject information sheets) should be kept in strict confidence by the Investigator in compliance with Federal regulations/ICH GCP Guidelines. It is required that the Investigator and institution permit authorized representatives of the company, of the regulatory agency, and the IRB/IEC direct access to review the subjects original medical records for verification of study-related procedures and data.
Direct access includes examining, analyzing, verifying, and reproducing any records and reports that are important to the evaluation of the study. The Investigator is obligated to inform the subject that his/her study-related records will be reviewed by the above named

13.3 | Ethics Committee Approval |
The Principal Investigator at each site is responsible for obtaining Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), approval for the protocol, informed consent form/ information sheet, and any advertisements to recruit Patients before being implemented at the investigative site. Written approval of these documents must be obtained from the committee before any subject is enrolled at a center.
The Principal Investigator is also responsible for the following interactions with the IRB/IEC:
| Obtaining IRB/IEC approval for any protocol amendments and informed consent form revisions before implementing the changes; |
| Providing the IRB/IEC with any required information before or during the study; |
| Submitting progress reports to the IRB/IEC, as required, during the conduct of the study; requesting re-review and approval of the study, as needed; providing copies of all IRB/IEC re-approvals and relevant communication to the CRO or the Sponsor; |
| Notifying the IRB/IEC of all serious and unexpected AEs related to the study drug reported by the Sponsor or the CRO, as required. Documentation of this notification should be retained. |
13.4 | Subject Information and Informed Consent |
No investigator may involve a human being as a subject in research unless the Investigator has obtained the legally effective informed consent of the subject or the subjects legally authorized representative. An Investigator shall seek such consent only under circumstances that provide the prospective subject or the subjects legally authorized representative sufficient opportunity to consider whether or not to participate, and that minimize the possibility of coercion or undue influence. The information that is given to the subject or the representative shall be in a language understandable to the subject or representative.
The Sponsor or its designated representative will provide the Investigator with a sample consent form. Local and/or institutional requirements may require disclosure of additional information in the informed consent. Any changes to the consent form must be submitted to the sponsor or its designated representative for approval prior to submission to the IRB/IEC. The IRB/IEC must review the consent form for approval/favorable opinion, and a copy of the approved consent form must be submitted to the Sponsor or its designated representative prior to initiation of the study.
Before implementing any study procedure, informed consent shall be documented by the use of an IRB/IEC approved written consent form signed and dated by the subject or the subjects legally authorized representative at the time of consent. A copy of the signed informed consent will be given to the subject or the subjects legally authorized representative. The original signed consent must be maintained by the Investigator and available for inspection by the Sponsor, its designated representative, or regulatory authority at any time.
