Clinical Trial Summary

For participants enrolled prior to Version 6 of the protocol: This was a Phase II multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 24-week, 3-arm, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to investigate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of balovaptan in children and adolescents aged 5-17 years with ASD who are high functioning (intelligence quotient [IQ] greater than or equal to [>=] 70). For participants enrolled according to Version 6 of the protocol: This was a Phase II multi-center, randomized, double-blind, 24-week, parallel group, placebo-controlled, 2-arm study with participants assigned either to a 10 milligram (mg) or equivalent dose of balovaptan, or placebo. All other study parameters remained as stated above. There are three parts to this study: PK Part (Study part 1) included up to 8 weeks of treatment, Main Treatment Part (Study part 2) included 24 week of treatment, and the Open Label Extension Part (Study part 3) included Week 24 to Week 76 of treatment. All participants that completed the 24-week treatment period were eligible to participate in an optional 52-week open-label extension (OLE) during which they received balovaptan treatment.

Primary Change From Baseline in Vineland™-II Adaptive Behavior Scale Two Domain Composite (2DC) Score at Week 24 for Balovaptan (R05285119) 10 mg Equivalent Compared to Placebo Vineland™-II Adaptive Behavior Scales 2-Domain Composite (2DC) Score is defined as mean of the Communication domain standard score & Socialization domain standard score. If any of the 2 individual domain standard scores is missing 2DC score is not computed. Vineland™-II is an instrument that measures communication, daily living skills, socialization, motor skills and maladaptive behavior of individuals with developmental disabilities. Survey Interview Form will be administered to a subject's reliable caregiver in this study, during which the rater or clinician will ask to the caregiver open ended questions relating to the subject's activities and behavior. Standardized scores on the Adaptive behavior composite range from 20-160 with higher scores indicating better functioning. Mixed model with repeated measures (MMRM) was used for analysis with assessments at baseline, week 12 and week 24. Baseline, Week 24

Secondary Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Weeks 12 and 24 for Balovaptan (R05285119) 10 mg Equivalent Compared to Placebo The CGI-S reflects the rater's impression of the subject's current autism severity on a 7-point scale ranging from no symptoms (1) to very severe symptoms (7). Changes in CGI-S score were calculated as increase or decrease in absolute CGI-S scores between Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24. Baseline, Weeks 12 and 24
Secondary Change From Baseline in Ohio Autism Clinical Impressions Scale-Severity (OACIS-S) Score at Weeks 12 and 24 for Balovaptan (R05285119) 10 mg Equivalent Compared to Placebo The OACIS-S is a 10-item, clinician-completed measures based upon interview and/or observation. The OACIS-S assess severity and improvement, respectively, in social interaction, aberrant behavior, repetitive or ritualistic behavior, verbal communication, nonverbal communication skills, hyperactivity and inattention, anxiety and fearfulness, sensory sensitivities, restricted and narrow interests, and a global rating of autism. Each item of the OACIS-S is rated on a 7-point scale ranging from no symptoms (1) to very severe symptoms (7). Changes in CGI-S score were calculated as increase or decrease in absolute CGI-S scores between Baseline and Weeks 12 and 24. Baseline, Weeks 12 and 24
Secondary Clinical Global Impressions- Improvement (CGI-I) Score at Weeks 12 and 24 for Balovaptan (R05285119) 10 mg Equivalent Compared to Placebo The CGI rating scales are tools used to evaluate both the severity of illness and change from baseline. The CGI-I is used to assess the clinical change as compared to symptoms at baseline using a 7-point scale, ranging from very much improved (1) to very much worse (7). For this study modified versions will be used. Weeks 12 and 24
Secondary Ohio Autism Clinical Impressions Scale- Improvement (OACIS-I) Score at Weeks 12 and 24 for Balovaptan (R05285119) 10 mg Equivalent Compared to Placebo The OACIS-I is a 10-item, clinician-completed measures based upon interview and/or observation. The OACIS-I assess severity and improvement, respectively, in social interaction, aberrant behavior, repetitive or ritualistic behavior, verbal communication, nonverbal communication skills, hyperactivity and inattention, anxiety and fearfulness, sensory sensitivities, restricted and narrow interests, and a global rating of autism. The OACIS-I is used to assess the clinical change as compared to symptoms at baseline using a 7-point scale, ranging from very much improved (1) to very much worse (7). Weeks 12 and 24
Secondary Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) v4.0 Generic Core Scale After 12 Weeks and 24 Weeks of Treatment for Balovaptan (R05285119) 10 mg Equivalent Compared to Placebo The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory PedsQL™4.0 Generic Core Scale assessment consists of a 23 item questionnaire encompassing 4 core scale domains: Physical Functioning (8 items); Emotional Functioning (5 items); Social Functioning (5 items); and School Functioning (5 items). For children aged 8 years and above, the PedsQL items are scored on a 5 point Likert-type response scale (0=never a problem; 1=almost never a problem; 2=sometimes a problem; 3=often a problem; and 4=almost always a problem). For children aged 5-7 years, scoring is based on a three-point scale (0=Not at all, 2=Sometimes, 4=A lot). Once scored, items will be reverse scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale (0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0), so that higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life. Baseline, Weeks 12 and 24

Standardized scores on the Adaptive behavior composite range from 20-160 with higher scores indicating better functioning. Mixed model with repeated measures (MMRM) was used for analysis. Baseline, Week 12
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events for Treatment With Balovaptan PK review revealed that age-adjusted doses of 4 and 10 mg in 5-17 year olds were not equivalent to target exposure. For the Main Study Part, data was summarised by exposure ranges (tertiles) based on individual participants PK exposure at Week 12, estimated as the average plasma concentration since treatment start. To allow clear analysis by exposure tertiles, participants with dose adjustment were excluded from analysis by tertiles. Baseline to Week 24 and up to Week 76
