2.3.3. Principle(s)
2.3.3.1. Whitening effect (clinical score)
The dentist in charge of the study assesses the initial color of the upper and lower incisors and canines using the selected Shade System (VITA Toothguide 3D-MASTER
®).
This instrument is composed different colors to which a score was attributed according to the table below:
Color Score

After product use, the dentist assesses the final color of the same teeth. For each subject, evaluation of the color is done on 12 teeth (upper teeth: n° 11, 12, 13, 21, 22 and 23 and lower teeth: n° 31, 32, 33, 41, 42 and 43) then the average score is calculated. See the diagram below:
Kuron Corporation Limited. DA14A050-1 8/33
Report_V1.0_November 20, 2014
The whitening effect is calculated by comparing the average score before and after product use. The variations (Di-D0) in the teeth color are calculated. Descriptive statistics are done and a Student t-test is done on purpose to determine the significance of the variation.
The product is considered effective if it induces any significant decrease in the mean clinical
scores obtained for both upper and lower teeth.
2.3.3.2. Tolerance
Before and after product use, the tolerance of the product is assessed by clinical examination under dentist control. The dentist assesses the following parameters: Examination of the tissues: Evaluation of the oral hygiene: none very slight slight moderate severe Redness Bleeding Swelling Pain Others: Please specify:..................................................................................... This evaluation takes into account the relevant elements reported by the subject (functional and physical signs (T1)) as well as those noted by the dentist (clinical signs (T2)). The confrontation of these signs is used to conclude the final tolerance of the tested product. The global tolerance of the tested product is defined as the least favourable result (T1 or T2). The relevance of a sign is defined as follows:
- lasting more than five minutes and,
- possible or certain imputability with the tested product and,
- length of time superior or equal to a quarter of the total duration of the study.
Kuron Corporation Limited. DA14A050-1 9/33
Report_V1.0_November 20, 2014
This leads to the exclusion of null or doubtful signs of imputability as well as signs that last only a few days during the study (notably at the beginning of the study). All possible or certain signs of imputability that appear during the final days of the study are retained, providing there is no ulterior follow-up.
2.3.3.3. Subjective evaluation questionnaire
A subjective evaluation questionnaire was prepared by the clinical trial center and submitted to the sponsor, was filled in by the subjects on D14 to subjectively evaluate the characteristics of the studied product, its global efficacy, its tolerance and its future use.
2.3.3.4. Macrophotographs
Standardized macrophotographs are taken before and after product use according the same settings. Repositioning occurs directly on the computer screen due to simultaneous image visualization at different acquisition times.

2.5.3. Adverse Events/Serious Adverse Events
During the study, the following rules were applied:
2.5.3.1. Definitions
An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any noxious symptom, temporarily linked to the use of a study product, occurring in a subject taking part in a clinical trial, whether or not this symptom is related to the studied product(s). An adverse reaction is defined as any noxious and unexpected reaction that might be related to the studied product(s). All adverse events judged, by the investigator, as being possibly, probably or certainly related to the studied product are considered as adverse reactions. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as an adverse event or effect that:
results in death (note: death is the outcome, not the event),
is life threatening,
requires in-patient hospitalization (at least one night) or prolongation of existing hospitalization (does not include hospitalization scheduled before the inclusion),
results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity,
is a congenital anomaly/birth defect,
is considered like by the investigator. The severity/intensity of adverse events can be graded on a three-point scale:
Mild or Grade 1: discomfort noted, but does not disturb normal daily activities.
Moderate or Grade 2: discomfort sufficient to reduce or affect normal daily activities.
Severe or Grade 3: inability to work or have normal daily activities.
2.5.3.2. Documentation
All concomitant treatments are reported in the CRF and the study report. All Adverse Events likely to be related to the studied product (adverse reactions) are reported in the CRF and the study report. All Serious Adverse Events are reported in the CRF and the study report.
Kuron Corporation Limited. DA14A050-1 12/33
Report_V1.0_November 20, 2014
2.5.3.3. Notification
The investigator declares to the sponsor, by fax or e-mail, the occurrence of adverse reactions according to their severity and their unexpectedness (according to the investigator's advice). All Serious Adverse Events are transmitted by e-mail to the sponsor without delay, at the latest 24 hours after knowledge of their occurrence. A SAE declaration form signed by a physician is sent, within 48 hours, by fax or e-mail with acknowledgement of receipt.
2.5.3.4. Follow-up
When an adverse event linked to the studied product or the protocol persists at the end of the study, the Investigator ensures that the subject is followed up until total resolution of the event or stabilization of the symptoms without releasing the Sponsor of any obligation or responsibility.
2.5.3.5. Occurrence of pregnancy
The occurrence of a pregnancy (reported or diagnosed) after inclusion in the study is considered as an intercurrent event not related to the studied product(s) nor the protocol and induces the immediate dropping out of the subject. A follow-up will be done according to the current internal procedures up to the end of the pregnancy or to its interruption.
2.5.3.6. Premature termination of the study
Study exit conditions * In compliance with the Helsinki Declaration (1964) and its successive updates, subjects have the right to exit from the study at any time and for any motive. * The investigator can also interrupt the subject participation in the study prematurely in the case of a disease occurrence, a pregnancy or the occurrence of an adverse reaction. * The sponsor can demand that any subject be excluded from the study for major infringements to the protocol, for administrative reasons or any other motive. Nevertheless, premature removal of a high percentage of subjects from the study can make the study difficult or impossible to interpret. Consequently, any premature exit without valid motives should be avoided as much as possible and is carefully documented in the case report form, the final report and, if necessary, in the Adverse Event form. Every premature exit must be classified under one of the following headings:
presence of a non-inclusion criteria,
Adverse Event occurrence,
Serious Adverse Event occurrence,
withdrawal of consent,
untraceable panelist,
appearance of non-inclusion criteria,
non-adherence to the protocol,
other reason.
Replacement conditions
No replacement is foreseen as 10% additional subjects are planned to be included in the study.

Report_V1.0_November 20, 2014
2.5.4. Collection and validation of data An identification code was attributed to each subject for the purpose to keep her identity confidential. This code consists of: the first three letters of the subject's name and the first two letters of her first name. The personnel in charge of the study (technician, physician, …) added data to subject case report form and to a computerized data base. The simple data entry was done from the case report forms by the designed technician(s) or operator(s), without any interpretation, in specific MS EXCEL databases. Then the Trial Manager or assistant checked at least 10% of data to insure the coherence between computed data and information in the case report forms. He/She also checked formulas used in the EXCEL tables (calculation formulas, selected data…). The coherence of data coming directly from measurement software(s) was also checked and validated by the Trial Manager or assistant, taking into account the potential acquisition errors. When all CRF were computed and all controls done, the databases were frozen.
2.5.5. Audit and trial monitoring visit An audit and/or trial monitoring visit might be carried out at the sponsor's request or by the appropriate regulatory authority. The aim of the monitoring visit is to verify that the study is conducted according to the determined protocol and current regulations.
2.5.6. Quality management
In order to ensure that the clinical trials are in compliance with the sponsor’s requirement, DERMSCAN Asia has implemented quality procedures including Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and regulation requirements.
Each study report is subjected to a quality inspection by a member of the DERMSCAN Proofreading Committee. The proofreader is chosen because he(she) is not involved in the audited study. The inspection of the study report allows us to confirm that the results reflect exactly the study raw data. A certificate of quality inspection, signed by the person who checked the report is enclosed in each study report to certify that the study report reflects the study raw data and fulfils any standard and regulatory requirements.

Kuron Corporation Limited. DA14A050-1 15/33
Report_V1.0_November 20, 2014
2.7.2. Product allocation
Not applicable. All the subjects tested the same product
2.8. Data analysis
2.8.1. Calculation formulas
The raw variations () and in percentage (%) of the different studied parameters were calculated according to the following formulas:
= (TZti - TZt0)
% = (TZti - TZt0)x 100
TZt0 with: TZ: value obtained on the treated zone, t0: before application,
ti: at each measurement time after application.
Remarks:
The percentage of the variation (%) is expressed in percentage of the variation on the measurement's zone (TZti - TZt0). These variations are balanced at the initial value TZt0 (before application).
This expression (%), therefore, gives the variation, in percentage, on the measurement’s zone compared to the initial conditions (TZt0). Measured values are presented in raw value tables. These tables also show the descriptive statistics: means, medians, minima, maxima, standard errors of the means (SEM) and confidence intervals of 95% (95% CI). Also, raw variations, percentage variations, descriptive statistics and the results of the statistical analysis (p) are presented in the variation tables.
2.8.2. Statistical method(s)
The statistical analysis determined the significance of the measurement variations obtained under the effect of the studied product. The comparison was on the values obtained before and at the different times of kinetics after treatment.
Data were analyzed with a paired t-test. This method tests whether the mean of sample differences between pairs of data is significantly different from the hypothetical mean, zero under the null hypothesis (H0). The alternative hypothesis (H1) was that the average difference was either greater or less than 0 (two-tailed test). Before carrying out a test, a type I error of 5% was chosen (which corresponds to the risk of rejecting a true null hypothesis).
If p0.05, H0 was rejected. There was a significant difference between before and after the
treatment.
If p>0.05, H0 was accepted, the mean was not different from 0. Data did not show a significant
difference between before and after the treatment.
