1.2
Section 1.56 of the JRCA shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following:

“1.56 “Clinical Trial” means human clinical trial of a biopharmaceutical product and “Phase 1 Clinical Trial” and “Pivotal Clinical Trial” shall have the following meanings:

a)
“Phase 1 Clinical Trial” means a Clinical Trial conducted in patients or healthy volunteers that generally provides for the first introduction into humans of such product and is principally intended to determine the safety, metabolism and

CLS-23165-AM02


 

pharmacokinetic properties and clinical pharmacology of such product in patients or healthy volunteers, or that would otherwise satisfy the requirements of Laws for such country in which such human clinical trial is conducted, such as 21 C.F.R. § 312.21(a), or equivalent Laws in a country other than the United States.

 

b)
“Pivotal Clinical Trial” means a Clinical Trial that is designed to establish that the product is safe and efficacious for its intended use in a particular indication, which trial shall be intended to support the Regulatory Approval for such product, including the trials referred to in 21 C.F.R. §312.21(b) or (c) or equivalent Laws in a country other than the United States.”

For clarity, initiation of a Clinical Trial that combines or may combine (i) a Phase 1 Clinical Trial with (ii) a Pivotal Clinical Trial, shall not be deemed as initiation of a Pivotal Clinical Trial unless and until the first patient is dosed in the Pivotal Clinical Trial portion (meeting the requirements set out in the above definition of such Clinical Trial).

2.
Amendment Effective Date

This Amendment shall become effective on the Amendment Effective Date.

3.
Entire Agreement

This Amendment, together with the JRCA and the Side Letter dated June 19, 2025 (the “Side Letter”), constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the JRCA. The JRCA, the Side Letter, together with this Amendment supersede all prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of the JRCA, as amended. Each Party confirms that it is not relying on any statements, representations, warranties or covenants of any person (whether a Party to the JRCA and this Amendment or not) except as specifically set out in the JRCA as amended. Nothing in this Amendment is intended to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

4.
