4 Statistical methds: Summary Study ppulatins: per prtcl (PP), mdified Intentin t Treat (mitt) and safety. Determinatin f sample size : the number f patients was calculated assuming a bacterilgical eradicatin rate at V3 equal t 85% in either grups. Descriptive statistics are given by age stratum, treatment grups and verall. Fr quantitative data cunt, number f missing data, mean, median, minimum and maximum values are prvided. Fr qualitative data cunt, number and percentage f missing data, frequency and percentage are prvided fr each level f the variable. Descriptive statistics f baseline characteristics: demgraphic data, medical and surgical histry, cncmitant diseases, prir and cncmitant medicatins, anamnesis, clinical symptms and clinical signs f tnsillitis. Primary endpint (nn-inferirity analysis): PP ppulatin Tw-sided 95% cnfidence interval in the difference between grups in bacterilgical eradicatin rate at V3 visit. Secndary endpint: Estimatin f the tw-sided 95% cnfidence interval in the difference between grups in the eradicatin rate at V3 in the mitt ppulatin. Estimatin f the tw-sided 95% cnfidence interval in the difference between grups in the eradicatin rate at V4 (mitt and PP). Descriptive statistics f the clinical efficacy at V3 and V4, assessment f crrelatin between clinical and bacterilgical results (mitt and PP ppulatins). Descriptive statistics f the eradicatin rate at V3 and V4 n patients with macrlide resistant GAST (PP and mitt). Descriptive statistics f Safety: Incidence f Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) by treatment grup verall and by system rgan class (MedDRA 9.0). Similar incidences f drug related TEAEs and f serius TEAEs. 395 patients were included and treated ( years, 60.3%).135 were randmized t the AMX grup and 260 t the PRI grup. One patient was lst t fllw-up after visit 1 and therefre excluded frm the safety ppulatin. 42 patients were excluded frm the mitt ppulatin, 13 frm the AMX and 29 frm the PRI grup. In additin t the 42 patients excluded frm the mitt ppulatin, 39 patients were excluded frm the PP ppulatin because f majr prtcl deviatins (9 frm the AMX grup, 30 frm the PRI grup). Bth treatment grups were similar at baseline in terms f predminance f female patients (AMX 56.6%, PRI 53.2%), mean age (AMX 14.1±6.4 years, PRI 13.9±6.1 years), weight (mean values AMX 43.6 kg, PRI 45.8 kg), height (AMX 147 cm, PRI 149 cm) BMI (AMX 19.0 kg/m², PRI 19.5 kg/m²) (PP ppulatin). The tw treatment grups were similar at baseline in terms f disease characteristics. At the time f inclusin, 2.2 days had elapsed n average since the first tnsillitis symptms in the AMX grup, 2.5 days in the PRI grup. A very similar prprtin f patients had a histry f previus episde(s) f tnsillitis, 18.6% in the AMX grup and 17.4% in the PRI grup. On average, the patients had suffered frm 1.3 episdes f tnsillitis in the previus 12 mnths in the AMX grup and 1.5 episdes in the PRI grup. Since the last tnsillitis episde, 6.3 mnths had elapsed in the AMX grup and 6.4 mnths in the PRI grup (PP). The prfile f signs and symptms f tnsillitis was similar in the 2 treatment grups: dynphagia was the mst frequently reprted symptm (AMX 100.0%, PRI 98.5%), fllwed by tnsil/pharyngeal erythema (AMX 98.2%, PRI 99.5%), fever (AMX 94.7%, PRI 94.5%), adenpathies (AMX 93.8%, PRI 92.0%) and pharyngeal exudate (AMX 63.7%, PRI 60.2%)(PP). Similar results were bserved in the mitt analysis set. A ttal f 14 patients did nt cmplete the study (AMX 3: AE 2, investigatr s request 1 and PRI 11: investigatr s request 5, prmter s request 1, lst t fllw-up 1, patient refused t cntinue 2, ther reasn 2). (TEAEs) by treatment grup verall and by system rgan class (MedDRA 9.0). Similar incidences f drug related TEAEs and f serius TEAEs. Page 4 f 6

5 Efficacy results: Primary efficacy criterin The bacterilgical eradicatin rate at V3 in the PP analysis set was 84/201 (41.8%) in the PRI grup and 102/113 (90.3 %) in the AMX grup. The AMX PRI difference in bacterilgical eradicatin rate was 48.5%, 95% CI [40.4%; 56.5%].The upper limit f this 95% CI is greater than 10% and the nn inferirity f PRI cannt be cncluded cmpared t AMX. Secndary efficacy criteria In the mitt ppulatin the bacterilgical eradicatin rate at V3 was 38.5% in the PRI grup and 87.7% in the AMX grup. The difference AMX-PRI was 49.2% with a twsided 95% CI f [41.2%, 57.1%]. In the PP ppulatin, the bacterilgical eradicatin rate at V4 was 36.8% in the PRI grup and 73.5% in the AMX grup. The difference AMX-PRI was 36.6% with tw-sided 95% CI f [26.8%, 46.5%]. The results in the mitt ppulatin were very similar with an eradicatin rate f 33.8% in the PRI grup and 72.1% in the AMX grup. The difference AMX-PRI was 38.4% with a tw-sided 95% CI f [29.0%, 47.8%]. The results btained with pristinamycin may thus be explained by either a lw PRI lcal cncentratin r an insufficient expsitin t PRI in terms f dse and/r duratin f treatment in this specific indicatin that requires the ttal eradicatin f GAS at the end f treatment At V3 in the PP ppulatin, the clinical success (cure r imprvement) rate in the PRI grup (83.6%) was lwer than in the AMX grup (96.5%). This was als the case at V4, with 92.0% f clinical success in the AMX grup vs. 80.6% in the PRI grup. The results in the mitt ppulatin were very similar with a clinical success rate at V3 f 95.1% in the AMX grup and 78.4% in the PRI grup, and 91.0% f clinical success rate at V4 in the AMX grup vs. 75.8% in the PRI grup. Except fr ne patient in the AMX grup, all PP patients with bacterilgical eradicatin at V3 were either clinical cures r imprvements. On the ther hand 7.1% f the patients f the AMX grup and 43.3% f the PRI grup were clinical cures r imprvements but bacterilgical failures. In the mitt ppulatin, 1 bacterilgical success in each treatment grup was a clinical failure (AMX 0.8%, PRI 0.4%) and 8.2% f the patients f the AMX grup and 41.6% f the PRI grup were either clinical cures r imprvements but bacterilgical failures. In the PP analysis set, the eradicatin rate at V3 in patients with macrlide resistant GAST was 8/9 (88.9%) in the AMX grup and 6/11 (54.5%) in the PRI grup. In the mitt analysis set, it was 8/9 (88.9%) in the AMX grup and 6/11 (54.5%) in the PRI. In the PP analysis set, the eradicatin rate at V4 in patients with macrlide resistant GAST was 7/9 (77.8%) in the AMX grup and 4/11 (36.4%) in the PRI grup. In the mitt analysis it was 7/9 (77.8%) in the AMX grup and 4/11 (36.4%) in the PRI grup. Safety results: Sixteen patients frm the AMX grup (11.9%; 15 years 9.8%, > 15 years 15.4%) and 66 frm the PRI grup (25.4%, 15 years 26.3%, > 15 years 24.0%) presented at least ne TEAE. They were 3 (2.2%, 15 years 2.4%, > 15 years 1.9%) in the AMX grup and 32 (12.3%, 15 years 13.5%, > 15 years 10.6%) in the PRI grup with at least ne drug related TEAE. In the AMX grup, ne patient cmplained f diarrhea (> 15 years), ne presented with drug hypersensitivity ( 15 years) and ne with urticaria ( 15 years). In the PRI grup, ne patient suffered frm headache (> 15 years) and 31 (11.9%, 15 years 13.5%, > 15 years 9.6%) cmplained abut gastrintestinal disrders: diarrhea (14, 5.4%, 15 years 6.4%, > 15 years 3.8%), vmiting (9, 3.5%, 15 years 3.8%, > 15 years 2.9%), nausea (5, 1.9%, 15 years 1.3%, > 15 years 2.9%), abdminal pain (4, 1.5%, 15 years 1.3%, > 15 years 1.9%), abdminal upper pain (2, 0.8%, 15 years 1.3%, > 15 years 0.0%). Overall, the safety prfile was similar in children aged 15 r less and in adults. Serius TEAEs were reprted fr 1 patient in the AMX grup (0.7%, > 15 years) and 3 Page 5 f 6

6 (1.2%, 15 years 1.3%, > 15 years 1.0%) in the PRI grup. Nne f the latter was drug related: a mtrbike accident was reprted fr the patient in the AMX grup, a phlegmn f the left tnsil, a right facial palsy and a fall while running fr the 3 patients in the PRI grup. N death ccurred during the study. Tw patients (1.5%, 15 years 2.4%, > 15 years 0.0%) frm the AMX grup permanently withdrew frm the study medicatin due t adverse events (drug related). In the PRI grup they were 10 (3.8%, 15 years 3.8%, > 15 years 3.8%), 8 f them (3.1%, 15 years 3.8%, > 15 years 1.9%) were drug related. Date f reprt: 03-DEC-2008 Page 6 f 6
