This electronic case report form shall be implemented in each centre through an on-line data collection medium. A help document for the use of this tool shall be provided for investigators.

By filling out the case report form via the Internet the investigator enables rapid remote viewing of the data by the CRA. The investigator is responsible for the accuracy, quality and pertinence of all data that is entered. In addition, as they are being entered, these data are immediately verified by consistency checks. For this reason, the investigator should validate any value modification in the CRF. These modifications are the subject of an audit trail. An explanation can be included as a comment, if necessary. At the end of the study a printed hard copy authenticated (dated and signed) by the investigator shall be required. An authenticated copy of the document should be archived by the investigator for the sponsor.



• Management of breaches

Any event that occurs as a result of a breach of the protocol, standardised operating procedures, good clinical practices or applicable legal and regulatory requirements by the investigator or any other person involved in conducting the research, must be reported to the sponsor. These reports shall first be reviewed and processed by the DRCD medical coordinator in order to provide the required corrective or preventive actions. They shall then be sent to the DRCD risk management Quality centre for verification and analysis. These verifications might be the subject of a request for information, compliance checks or audits through the investigator in charge of the research location concerned.





• Audit/inspections The investigators agree to cooperate with quality assurance audits carried out by the sponsor as well as inspections by the competent authorities. All data, documents and reports can be subjected to regulatory audits and inspections without obstruction by medical confidentiality.

An audit can be carried out at any moment by persons commissioned by the sponsor and without the involvement of the research managers. Its purpose is to ensure the quality of the research, the validity of its results, and compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The persons running and monitoring the research agree to comply with the requirements of the sponsor and the competent authority in relation to research audits or inspections.

The audit might apply to any stage of the research, from the development of the protocol to publication of the results and classification of the data used or produced in the framework of the research.

Protocol ALLOZITHRO Statistical Analysis Plan

1. INTRODUCTION

The occurrence of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is considered to be a chronic pulmonary graft versus host disease (GVHD) that is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. The reported incidence of BOS varies from 6 to 26% of allogeneic HSC recipients and is usually diagnosed within 2 years after transplantation. The diagnosis of BOS relies on the occurrence of a new airflow obstruction identified during pulmonary function testing, and the definition differs between studies. Currently, no curative immunosuppressive treatment is available, and recent data suggest that the use of these treatments, especially corticosteroids, should be limited because of their toxicity. The impairment of lung function parameters is likely caused by fibrous small airway lesions. Few data on the pathogenesis of BOS after allogeneic HSCT are available. Several hypotheses are based on the occurrence of BOS during chronic graft rejection after lung transplantation, which shares many clinical and histopathological similarities with BOS after allogeneic HSCT. One hypothesis is that the first step leading to BOS is lung epithelium injury. BOS is then identified as an allogeneic immune reaction with only one clearly identified risk factor, extra-thoracic chronic GVHD. Due to their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, recent data suggest that low-dose macrolides may be effective at preventing BOS after lung transplants. This well-tolerated treatment may be useful for preventing BOS after allogeneic HSCT.

The objectives of this randomized clinical trial, is to evaluate the efficacy of azithromycin in preventing BOS syndrome after allogeneic HSCT in patients with malignant hematological diseases.

2. DATA SOURCE

The eCRF data were extracted then, structured by data managers. See Appendix reporting the Data Handling Manual of the study. The trial is registered with the NCT number NCT01959100.

3. ANALYSIS OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the analysis are to provide estimates of treatment effect, using all defined end points, based on comparison of those end points according to the randomized treatment arm. Point estimates with 95% confidence intervals are to be provided. The study's primary aim tests a hypothesis, that azithromycin may delay the occurrence of BOS. The statistical power has been computed to choose a sample size adequate for detecting the predicted effects if present.

4. STUDY DESIGN

The Allozithro Study is a multi-center double-blind randomized controlled trial of prevention of BOS by azithromycin in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Multi-center ethical approval was granted by the Ethics Committee on 15 July 2013, and by the French Agence Nationale de Sécurité des Médicaments (ANSM) on 04 September 2013.

Randomization Randomization is conducted via a web-based interface. The study web site was accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This academic web site (cleanWeb®) has been used to host numerous secure research projects.

Patients are randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to two groups: (1) placebo; (2) azithromycin. The randomisation sequence was generated using R code with blocks of unreported fixed size and random seeds to ensure allocation concealment could not be violated by guessing the allocation sequence at the end of each block. Randomisation was stratified within study site by Age (≤, > 50 years old) and FEV1/FVC (≤, > 85%).

Data collection and follow-up Every randomized patient was followed up until 2 years post-randomisation. If patients were followed after 2 years, follow-up was censored and outcomes were recorded as per status at month 24.

5. ANALYSIS SETS/ POPULATIONS/SUBGROUPS

Statistical analysis will be performed based on an intent-to-treat principle; once patients are randomized, all will be analyzed. This policy, known as the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis principle, is a cornerstone of good clinical trial practice. All participants randomized and entered into the trial should be included in the analysis of the group to which they were assigned including loss of follow-up, regardless of whether they completed the trial or switched to receive different treatment. Protocol deviations and exclusions (and reasons for any such exclusion) will be reported for each arm of the trial. (on March, 2015) - To handle potential study dropouts due to consent withdrawals the sample size was reevaluated given analysis could not include those patients, due to the French regulation at the time. (on July, 2015) Thus, a modified intention-to-treat sample will be used for both efficacy and toxicity assessments. (on October, 2016) Post-hoc secondary analyses were performed to get further insight in the relationship between treatment arm and incidence of relapse.

6. ENDPOINTS AND COVARIATES

Efficacy endpoints will be computed as defined in the protocol. All time to failure outcomes will be measured from the date of randomization. (on May, 2014) Overall survival at 2 years was added as a secondary outcome. (on July, 2014) Cumulative dosage of steroids as a secondary outcome was deleted. (on July, 2015) The main endpoint of the trial (airflow obstruction, (AFO)-free survival) has been switched to survival free of airflow decline (AFD).

Adjustments for potential imbalances in prognostic variables will be performed, using covariates selected by univariable analyses at the 5% level.

7. HANDLING OF MISSING VALUES AND OTHER DATA CONVENTIONS

Every effort will be made to obtain missing data, even after the follow-up time has passed. The main analyses will be based on available data only. Analyses based on imputed data will be reported as part of the sensitivity analyses. Missing data will be imputed. Simple or multiple imputation techniques will be used according to the amount and underlying potential mechanisms of missingness.

8. STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY

8.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES

• Analyses will be conducted according to the modified intention-to-treat principle (ITT) [Fergusson 2002] if not otherwise stated. More specifically, patients who withdrew consent for use of their data will not be included in any analysis. Only the facts that they were enrolled into the trial and withdrew consent, and the original study group to which they were allocated, will be reported. • All tests will be two-sided. Unless otherwise specified, estimates of treatment effects will be presented with 95% confidence intervals. A two-tailed P value of ≤0.05 will be considered statistically significant for the primary and secondary outcome measures. • The primary analyses of primary and secondary outcomes will be those of the modified ITT population unadjusted analyses. An analysis adjusting for both stratification and pre- defined variables will be carried out as sensitivity analyses. Other analyses may also be performed using, for example, subset population. If the results of these analyses are not consistent with the primary analyses this will be discussed. Nevertheless, the conclusions of the study will still be those based on the primary analyses. • The tests for interaction between the intervention and each design variable used to identify subgroups are exploratory • Risks will be reported as hazard ratios or risk ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI). • If there is data missingness for a specified primary or secondary outcome of less than 5% Page 4 of 7

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 09/29/2021

Protocol ALLOZITHRO Statistical Analysis Plan

a complete case analysis without imputing missing values will be performed. If there is a missingness of more than 5% multiple imputation will be performed.

8.2 INTERIM ANALYSES

An independent Safety and Data Monitoring Committee (SDMC), comprising experts in clinical trials, biostatistics, respiratory diseases and bone-marrow transplantation was established. The committee reviewed information on all serious adverse events and conducted a blinded interim analysis of these data. These analyses will be considered in the closed session of the committee. The committee will advise the chair of the trial steering committee if, in their view, the randomized comparisons in the trial have provided ‘proof beyond reasonable doubt’ that for all or for some types of, patients one particular treatment is definitely contraindicated in terms of a net difference I serious adverse events. None interim analysis of efficacy will be performed. The analysis will be terminal, based on the previously calculated required sample size.

(on December 2016) The trial was stopped due to safety concerns.

8.3 STATISTICAL PROCEDURES

The statistical report will be based on the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). First, the flow of study participants will displayed in a Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) diagram. The number of patients who fulfilled study inclusion criteria, and the number included in the primary and secondary analyses as well as all reasons for exclusions in primary and secondary analyses will be reported.

Baseline data The baseline (i.e., at randomization) characteristics of the randomized groups will be compared roughly, based on point estimates without significance testing. Discrete variables will be summarized by frequencies and percentages. Percentages will be calculated according to the number of patients where data are available. Where values are missing, the actual denominator will be stated. Continuous variables will be summarized using standard measures of central tendency and dispersion, using either mean ± SD for data with normal distribution or median and interquartile range for non-normally distributed data.

Efficacy outcome measures The right-censored endpoints (AFO-free survival and overall survival) will be estimated by the nonparametric Kaplan-Meier method and compared between randomized groups by the log-rank test after checking for the proportionality of hazard functions.

Competing risks endpoints (the occurrence of late-onset, pulmonary, non-infectious complications or acute and chronic extra-thoracic GVHD) will be analysed using competing risks methods. Specifically, the cumulative incidences of late-onset, pulmonary, non-infectious complications and acute and chronic extra-thoracic GVHD

Page 5 of 7

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 09/29/2021

Protocol ALLOZITHRO Statistical Analysis Plan

will be estimated considering deaths prior to the event of interest as competing risk outcomes and compared using the Gray test. (in July, 2015) Given the primary outcome measure is a composite end point, the estimation of the cumulative incidence of both components (namely, cumulative incidence of AFD, and that of death free of AFD) will be computed using competing-risk methods, with comparison across randomized arms based on Gray’s test and cause- specific hazard models.

Variations in pulmonary function testing parameters (FVC, RV, FEF25-75%) will be summarized using compared between randomized groups by generalized linear models.

The heterogeneity of the population given by the inclusion of additional subjects undergoing second allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation will potentially increase and may lead to more imprecision in estimating of treatment effect evaluated in the trial. If these patients are insufficient number we will test the potential heterogeneity of treatment effect with this parameter.

Serious Adverse Events The proportion of patients who experience at least one serious adverse event will be analyzed as a categorical variable (with patients classified as either having experienced at least one serious adverse event, or not) using a χ-squared or Fisher’s exact test (as appropriate). If appropriate, a more complex model of serious adverse event occurrences will be constructed utilizing adverse events as count variables. Possible models for this analysis include Poisson regression and negative binomial regression. An analysis of subgroups of serious adverse events will be performed separately, but in an identical manner to the overall adverse events analyses.

8.4 PROGRAMMATION All analyses will be performed using the SAS (SAS Inc., Cary, NC) and R (http://www.R-project.org/) software packages.

8.5 MEASURES TO ADJUST FOR MULTIPLICITY, CONFOUNDERS, HETEROGENEITY, ETC.

For each outcome variable, the unadjusted analysis will be designated the primary analysis; the covariate-adjusted analysis will be designated the secondary analysis. Prognostic variables shown to be strongly associated with outcome, even if not shown to be imbalanced between treatment groups, will be screened for inclusion in the covariate adjusted model as they may remove bias from the estimate of treatment effect [Pocock 2002; Senn 1989]. Univariate Cox regression analysis will be conducted to evaluate the relationship between each prognostic variable and allocated treatment group. Then, the treatment comparisons will be adjusted for such prognostic covariates using a multivariable Cox model. The models will be evaluated based on the testing assumptions of the proportionality of hazard functions and log-linear relationships between the predictors and hazard. (on December 2016) Post-hoc secondary analyses have been performed to get further insights in the effect of azithromycin in the incidence of relapse. Page 6 of 7

Because we have no idea of the duration of the increased risk of relapse, we have discussed with the national drug administration (ANSM) and we decided to extend the follow-up for a total of 5 years for all patients alive except those who relapsed. Investigators will have to notify each relapse and death to the sponsor at the time they are diagnosed as well as they will have to record these events in the P.30 CRF. Each site will also be specifically contacted and questioned about these data. Due to a potential interaction between relapse and GVHD, occurrence of GVHD during the 5 years follow-up will also be recorded in the CRF. Thus, hematological relapse, death and occurrence of GVHD will also be recorded at M36, M48 and M60. PFT will be performed at the end of follow-up (5 years). All patients will be informed (see attachment); The signature of a consent to the prolongation of the follow-up within the study will be requested to them (cf. attachment). Patients who wish to do so can ask the investigator from their center where they were randomized.

9.5 Update of the study Following a decision from the PI, the DSMB and the sponsor, all the investigators were told to ask their patients to discontinue treatment on December 26, 2016 due to a relapse imbalance in the two experimental arms in disfavour of the azithromycin P.32 arm. All patients had stopped the treatment on January 12, 2017. The follow-up of the patients is still going on and extended.
