A Phase 3, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomized Discontinuation Study Followed by Open-label Extension Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Amifampridine Phosphate in Patients With Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS)

A Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Amifampridine Phosphate in patients
with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS).

This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized (1:1) discontinuation study is

- Use of Fampridine (4-aminopyridine), and any form of 3,4-diaminopyridine other than
the IP provided, such as amifampridine base or Firdapse, during the study.

- Use of medications known to lower the epileptic threshold within 7 days or 5
half-lives.

- Use of medications which inhibit neuromuscular junction function within 7 days or 5
half-lives.

- History of drug allergy to any pyridine-containing substances or any amifampridine
phosphate excipient(s).

- Use of any other investigational productwithin 30 days

- Treatment with a concomitant medication that prolongs the QT/QTc interval within 7
days or 5 half-lives.

- Treatment with sultopride
(4-amino-N-[(1-ethylpyrrolidin-2-yl)methyl]-5-ethylsulfonyl-2-methoxybenzamide) within
7 days.
