a. Visit window of ± 1 day for dose escalation cycles; window of ± 3 days for non dose escalation cycles.
f. Flow cytometry testing of peripheral blood is to be obtained at 0 (pre-dose C1D1), post dose 24 and 48hours..
g. Testing panel is per institutional standard of care; obtain sample at Screening.
h. Bone marrow sampling local testing will include analysis of the aspirate on smear, core biopsy by microscopy, flow cytometry, and karyotype for
cytogenetics. Local molecular analysis will be performed on the screening bone marrow samples only. All bone marrow samples will be sent for biobanking
from where further analysis can be done. Perform bone marrow sampling at screening, at study Day 22 (C2D8) with a window ±7 days, at Day 43, and once
every 12 weeks after a stable dose has been reached. Timing of this procedure may be adjusted to ensure results are available for the next clinic visit.
i. Brequinar/DHO plasma sampling schedule: Cycle 1: 0 (pre-dose), post dose 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, 72 hours and C1D8 pre-dose (+84h after C1D4 dose); Cycle 2
and adjustment cycles: pre-dose Days 1 and 8; every 2-week Maintenance Cycle until 3-months on drug: pre-dose Day 1 and every 2 to 4 week Maintenance
Dose Cycle beyond 3-months on drug. Day 1 sample window ±15 minutes through 6h draw; window for additional C1 draws ±2h; window for Cycle 2 and
beyond plasma brequinar/DHO draws ±4h. Ensure trough samples (e.g., C1D1, C2D1, C3D1) are obtained prior to dosing. Plasma samples for
brequinar/DHO for expansion cohort are to be obtained prior to dosing on Day 1 of each 2-week cycle for the first 3 cycles, then every 12 weeks.
j. Biobanking samples (bone marrow) are to be collected whenever bone marrow sampling is performed.

General:
To ensure the accuracy of test results, careful consideration of collection technique and sample
preparation is required. Specimen requirements for each test are listed in this section.
Specimen volume requirements must be adhered to. ALL specimens received must be properly
labeled with the identifying label and subject identifier. The laboratory cannot perform testing
on unlabeled specimens. If you have additional questions or concerns regarding sample
collection and handling, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-501-7947.
Venipuncture:
The following is intended to serve as a guideline for experienced phlebotomists performing
routine venipuncture. Special collection considerations might require an alternate guideline.
Supplies provided for routine venipuncture include needles, syringes or vacutainer holders,
collection tubes, tourniquet, alcohol wipes, gauze, and adhesive strips. The pre-labeled
collection vials are found within each kit. Extra collection and transport tubes and containers
are provided in the extra supply kits provided by LabConnect.

When packing the frozen shipper ensure the instructions below are followed and
that there is sufficient layering of dry ice both under and on top of the frozen
specimens, such that the specimens are ‘sandwiched’ between the dry ice.
1. Place specimens in the absorbent wrap(s). Ensure that the screw cap lids on the
polypropylene tubes are firmly in place and threaded properly. Dry ice may cause the
lids to loosen while in transit.
2. Place the absorbent wrap(s) or Cryobox into the specimen transport bag, and seal bag
closed.
3. Using insulated gloves, scatter a small amount of dry ice into the bottom of the shipper.
4. Fold and place the transport bag containing frozen samples on top of the layer of dry
ice.
5. Fill the remaining portion of the cooler with dry ice, completely covering the transport
bag and bottom layer of dry ice.
The amount of dry ice is critical to maintain constant temperature within the
shipper during transport.
6. Replace the foam lid on the insulated container.
7. Place the completed white copy of the corresponding requisition(s) on top of the foam
lid.
8. Secure the flaps of the shipper and tape the box closed.
9. Ensure the pre-printed air bill is attached to the top of the shipper.
10. Contact FedEx for pickup 1-800-463-3339, fedex.com.
Additional Testing:
Additional testing is allowed for this protocol. Contact Barbara Powers at
bpowers@clearcreekbio.com for approval.
Retesting:
Retesting is a repeat of a panel or test associated with a scheduled visit. Retesting is NOT
allowed for this protocol.
Unscheduled Testing:
Unscheduled testing occurs when a subject completes a visit at a time, which is not on the
regular event schedule. Unscheduled testing is allowed for this protocol. Sponsor authorization
is required for Unscheduled testing. Contact Barbara Powers at 484-686-0545 for approval. An
option for selecting an Unscheduled visit will be available on Flow Cytometry and Bone Marrow
Collection Kits. For PK samples, Maintenance dose cycles will use an Unscheduled PK requisition
for collection.
Repeat Testing:
LabConnect will provide repeat analysis on specimens previously received at the laboratory
provided the elapsed time does not exceed the stability limits and the quantity of specimen is
sufficient. If you have questions concerning test stability please contact LabConnect Customer
Service, 1-800-501-7947 ext. 5.
TEST CANCELLATIONS
For subject safety reasons, tests may be cancelled if:
· samples are received at an incorrect temperature
· if there is not enough sample to test
· samples are received out of stability
· no sample is submitted to test
· samples not properly labeled
1) Measure the rotating radius of the centrifuge head – the distance from the center of the rotor to
the bottom of the centrifuge bucket.
2) Using a straight-edged ruler, line up the known rotating radius on the left with the known RPM on
the right.
3) Read the RCF value where the line crosses the graph in the center.
Conversely, RPM can be determined if the RCF value is known using the same nomogram.
