24 laboratory parameters (cbc, chemistry, liver function), vital signs, EKG, and physical 25 examination.

26 The secondary outcome measures are:

27 1) Change on the 13-item ADAS-Cog

28 2) Change on the Trail Making Test (TMT); Parts A and B

29 3) Change on the Clinical Rating scale Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)

30 4) Change on the Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ)

31 5) Change on the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily 32 Living Inventory in mild cognitive impairment (ADCS-MCI-ADL)

33 6) Change on the Geriatric Scale (GDS)

34 7) Change on the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q)

35 The other outcome measures are:

36 1) Change in functional connectivity in the default mode network as assessed 37 by resting state functional MRI

38 2) Compositional assessment of plasma using in vitro analytical methods. The 39 goal is to assess plasma components that might be associated with aging 40 and/or Alzheimer’s disease. These studies will focus initially on known 41 proteins (e.g. eotaxin, B2M, amyloid beta) but may extend to full plasma 42 proteome and other component (e.g. metabolites, lipids, nucleic acids) 43 profiling in the future.

44 3) In vivo assessment of plasma samples to determine their potential 45 histological effects on the hippocampus and their potential behavioral effects 46 in animal models of cognition.

47 4) Differential effect of therapy on above outcomes as a function of ApoE 48 genotype

49 3.3 Derived variables 50 Derived Boolean variables will be created from metabolic and hematologic labs as 1 51 or 0 indicating if there was a change from baseline. An AE is change in vital signs

55 4 Study Methods

56 4.1 General Study Design and Plan 57 (ICH E3;9)

58  The study began in September 2014 as a double blind, cross 59 over, placebo (saline) controlled study. It was amended in October 2015 60 to a single arm open label study. After the amendment the 61 randomization assignment for all subjects in the original protocol 62 continued to be blinded to the investigator and 63 raters. Nine subjects were enrolled and treated under the double blind 64 crossover protocol with four weeks of weekly infusions of ~250mL of 65 plasma from 18-30 year-old male donors, followed by a 6-week washout 66 and then crossover to four weeks of weekly infusion of the alternate 67 treatment. An additional 9 subjects were enrolled and treated under 68 the open label amendment for four weeks with once weekly infusions of 69 ~250mL of plasma from male donors aged 18-30. 70  This is a randomized, blinded, cross-over study to determine the safety 71 and tolerability of once per week infusion of young male donor plasma in 72 subjects with AD. Starting within 2 weeks of Baseline Assessment: 73 o Blood draw: confirmation of ABO/Rh typing prior to first plasma 74 administration. 75 o Administer test agent (Young Male Donor Plasma or placebo saline) 76 once weekly for 4 weeks (+ day for each infusion), followed by 77 crossover to other test agent (placebo saline or Young Male Donor 78 Plasma) 79 o Concomitant medication review 80 o AEs review 81 o Journal review 82  Level and method of blinding: double-blind. 83  Method of treatment assignment: randomization 1:1.

173 4.4 Randomization and Blinding 174 The study coordinator, prior to dosing, receives a request form the PI to randomize 175 the subject. The request is sent to the regulatory coordinator to randomize the 176 subject. The regulatory coordinator accesses the randomization envelope and 177 randomly selects a slip of paper that contains treatment assignment group (group A 178 = saline, group B = plasma) and hands the assignment to the study coordinator. 179 The study coordinator requests the plasma from the Stanford Blood Bank or saline 180 for each subject). On the day of dosing the study coordinator sends the order to the 181 transfusion unit specifying treatment allocation. To ensure the subject remains 182 blinded to treatment assignment IV tubing is wrapped in brown plastic “sham” to 183 ensure blinding. For saline administration, the IV tubing is maintained by the study 184 coordinator for 45 minutes prior to administration. After the protocol change, study 185 coordinator sent the order to the transfusion unit for blood. No sham was required 186 as all participants received plasma.

187 Primary Endpoints

188 1. Safety and tolerability: The number of patients with adverse events will be 189 tallied. Changes from baseline in clinical laboratory parameters (CBC, 190 chemistry, liver function), vital signs, EKG, and physical examination.

250 b. Trail Making Test. The Trail Making Test consists of two parts. Part A 251 is a measure of processing speed and Part B is a measure of executive 252 functioning. In the first part, the targets are all numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) 253 and the test taker needs to connect them in sequential order. In the 254 second part, the subject alternates between numbers and letters (1, A, 255 2, B, etc.). If the subject makes an error, the test administrator 256 corrects them before the subject moves on to the next circle. The 257 subject is requested to finish both parts as quickly as possible. A 258 higher score indicates greater impairment. 259 i. Part A—Total Time = 0-180 seconds, Total Errors = Sequencing 260 Errors + Incomplete Errors. Sequencing Errors = 0-24, 261 Incomplete Errors = 0-24 262 ii. Part B—Total Time = 0-300 seconds, Total Errors = Sequencing 263 Errors + Set-shifting Errors + Incomplete Errors. Sequencing 264 Errors = 0-24, Set-shifting Errors = 0-24, Incomplete Errors = 265 0-24. 266 2. Functional Abilities

267 a. Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ). The FAQ measures 268 instrumental activities of daily living. There are 10 items that the 269 informant answers. Total Score= 0-30. There are 10 items that are Page 10 of 29

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 10/02/2021 Statistical Analysis Plan The PLasma for Alzheimer SymptoM Amelioration (PLASMA) Study (PLASMA)

270 scored from 0-3. Dependent = 3, Requires assistance = 2, Has 271 difficulty but does by self = 1, Normal = 0, Never did [the activity] but 272 could do now = 0, Never did and would have difficulty now = 1. A 273 higher score indicates greater functional impairment.

274 b. Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living 275 Inventory in Mild Cognitive Impairment (ADCS-MCI-ADL). The ADCS- 276 MCI-ADL is an instrument used to assess the competence of 277 performing basic and instrumental activities of daily living. The 278 information is asked to rate the patient on the prior 4 weeks. There 279 are 18 questions. Total Score = 0-53. A higher score indicates greater 280 functional ability.

281 c. Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB).

282 The CDR-SB is used in persons with AD to stage dementia. It is a five- 283 point scale in which CDR-0 connotes no cognitive impairment. The 284 informant is asked to rate the patient. Total Score = 0 to 18.0. 0 = 285 Normal. 0.5 to 4.0 = Questionable cognitive impairment. Within the 286 category of questionable cognitive, 0.5 to 2.5 = Questionable 287 impairment and 3.0 to 4.0 = Very mild dementia. 4.5 to 9.0 = Mild 288 dementia. 9.5 to 15.5 = Moderate dementia. 16.0 to 18.0 = Severe 289 dementia.

290 3. Mood/Behavior

291 a. Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form (GDS). The GDS measures level 292 of depression over the past one week. There are 15 items answered by 293 the participant. Total Score = 0-15; 15 items that are scored from 0- 294 1. A higher score indicates a greater level of depression.

295 b. Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-Q). The NPI-Q is comprised of 12 296 items assessing 12 domains of neuropsychiatric symptoms. The 297 informant indicates whether each symptom is present. For each “yes” 298 response, the informant is then asked to rate the frequency of the 299 symptom (1 = Rarely, less than once per week, 2 = Sometimes, about 300 once per week, 3 = Often, several times per week but less than every 301 day, 4 = Very often, once or more per day), the severity of the

302 symptom (1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe) and the distress it 303 causes the informant (0 = Not at all, 1 = Minimally, 2 = Mildly, 3 = 304 Moderately, 4 = Severely, 5 = Very Severely or Extremely). This results 305 in 3 scores, Frequency Total = 1-4 (X 12 questions = max of 48), 306 Severity Total = 1-3 (X 12 questions = max of 36) and Distress Total 307 = 0-5 (X 12 questions = max of 60). A higher score indicates greater 308 frequency, severity and distress of the neuropsychiatric symptom.

309 5 Sample Size

310 5.1 Under the original guidelines for the study, nine subjects were planned to be 311 enrolled and treated under the randomized, double blind, crossover protocol 312 with four weeks of weekly infusions of ~250mL of plasma from 18-30 year- 313 old male donors or 250ml of saline, followed by a 6-week washout and then 314 crossover to four weeks of weekly infusion of the alternate treatment.

315 5.2 The study protocol was changed in October 2015. The randomized, double 316 blind crossover protocol was discontinued. An additional 9 subjects were 317 planned to be enrolled and treated under the open label amendment for four 318 weeks with once weekly infusions of ~250mL of plasma from male donors 319 aged 18-30.

320 6 Statistical Methods

321 6.1 Primary Endpoints 322 Safety results will be summarized by the number of treatment emergent 323 adverse events, proportion of patients experiencing the adverse events, and 324 the compliance rate. Different types of adverse events will be tabulated. 325 Measurements from laboratory test and physical examination will be compared 326 between baseline and 4 week using paired nonparametric rank test.

327 The effect of ApoE -4 status on primary endpoints will be examined. 328 Aforementioned analysis will be repeated within subgroups according to APoE 329 -4 status. We will compare the average number of treatment emergent 330 adverse events, proportion of patients experiencing the adverse events, the 331 compliance rate and 4-week change in laboratory test, EKG, and physical

Page 12 of 29

332 examination between carrier and no-carrier and between heterozygote carrier 333 and homozygote carrier using two-sample Wilcoxon rank or Chi-squared test.

334 6.2 Secondary Endpoints 335 Data analysis for the secondary endpoints takes into consideration the change 336 in protocol. For each of the secondary endpoints, we will perform a linear 337 mixed effects regression analysis to compare the effects of the placebo and 338 plasma treatment. Specifically, the linear mixed effects model will include a 339 binary variable indicating the stage (1 vs 2) at which the response is measured 340 and a treatment indicator (plasma vs placebo), which is the independent 341 variable of primary interest. The regression coefficient for the treatment 342 indicator summarizes the effect of plasma on the endpoint of interest. The 343 subject-specific random intercept will be included to account for the within 344 patient correlations. For the subgroup of patients who only received the 345 plasma at the first stage per the revised protocol, the potential response at the 346 second stage if the placebo is administrated is considered as missing data. 347 The linear mixed effects regression allows missing data at random.

348 The effect of ApoE -4 status will be further examined by conducting subgroup 349 analysis and comparing the average change between subgroups of patients 350 with different ApoE-4 status.

351 We will not adjust for multiple testing due to the exploratory nature of the 352 analysis. However, we will report all the test results regardless of their 353 significance level.

354 6.3 Other endpoints 355 Change in functional connectivity will be analysed by SBGneuro using a 356 paired-sample t-test comparing the baseline to post treatment MRI. Any 357 networks that demonstrate significant differences in the baseline versus active 358 scan will be analyzed in a repeated-measures ANOVA.

359 Compositional assessment of plasma using in vitro analytical methods will be 360 performed. A discovery proteomics analysis using array based targeted 361 methodology will be used to assess the plasma proteome and its changes 362 prior to treatment arm and at the end of each treatment arm for each 363 individual subject. Using a paired sample t-test significant differences will be 364 assessed in prior vs post treatment and for treatment vs placebo (where Page 13 of 29

Downloaded From: https://jamanetwork.com/ on 10/02/2021 Statistical Analysis Plan The PLasma for Alzheimer SymptoM Amelioration (PLASMA) Study (PLASMA)

365 relevant). Additionally, a population based analysis will be performed to 366 compare the grouped pre-treatment vs grouped post-treatment data using a 367 paired-sample t-test. Any analyses of particular interest may be specifically 368 assessed by other means in post hoc analyses and may incorporate the use of 369 other donor and subject plasma samples.

370 Timing of Analyses

371  The final analysis will be performed after the completion of the last subject is 372 enrolled and completed the Open Label arm of the study and the database is 373 locked. 374

375 6.4 Analysis Populations 376 (ICH E3; 9.7.1, 11.4.2.5. ICH E9; 5.2)

377 6.4.1 Full Analysis Population 378 Primary endpoints for safety for number of adverse events will include all 379 subjects who received any study drug (safety population). This is assuming all 380 subjects who received any study treatment (including control) but excluding 381 subjects who drop out prior to receiving any treatment. Primary endpoints will 382 be performed for laboratory, physical examination, and EKG and for all subjects 383 who received any study drug and who participated in at least one post-baseline 384 assessment. Secondary analysis will be performed on all randomized or enrolled 385 subjects who received study drug or placebo and who participated in at least 386 one post-baseline assessment (modified intention to treat). For subjects who 387 deviated from the protocol, data may be removed on a per-patient basis for 388 exploratory analysis. 389 390 MRI scanning will be performed at screening and after each block of infusions 391 using a 3T GE scanner. Patients will complete one T1-weighted anatomical scan 392 (3D-FSPGR, flip angle=15, matrix size=256x256, 158 axial slices, in-plane 393 resolution=0.85mm, slice thickness=1mm) and two resting-state scans fMRI 394 scans (GE-EPI, TE=30 ms, flip angle=80, in-plane resolution=3.4mm, slice 395 thickness=4.0mm, gap=0.5mm, 31 axial slices, TR=2 sec, 240 volumes). All 396 resting state fMRI scans will be preprocessed using the FSL software package10 397 integrated in-house processing pipelines. Preprocessing includes correction for

398 head motion through volume realignment, correction for magnetic field in- 399 homogeneities (B0 correction), spatial smoothing (6mm FWHM), advanced head 400 motion de-noising using ICA-AROMA11, and a 0.01Hz high-pass filter. All 401 further analyses will be performed in MNI152 standard space to allow between- 402 patient comparisons. Where available, we will combine results for the two 403 within-session resting state functional scans by means of within-patient fixed- 404 effects analyses. 405 406 Resting state fMRI analyses. Resting state fMRI analyses allows for the 407 investigation of characteristics of spontaneous brain activity, which has been 408 found to cluster into meaningful large-scale networks. We will assess network 409 integrity and identifiability of 10, well-described, and replicated resting state 410 networks. To assess network integrity, we will conduct group-level analyses for 411 three differential within-patient effects: 1) Baseline + Plasma (mean effect); 2) 412 Baseline > Plasma; 3) Plasma > Baseline. Group-level statistics will be obtained 413 using non-parametric testing (FSL randomize13). Results will be considered 414 significant at p<0.005 (i.e., p < 0.05/10 investigated networks). To assess 415 network identifiability, we will extract the mean Z-statistic within the 10 resting 416 state networks and compare those to the mean Z-statistic outside each 417 respective network mask. A higher inside/outside ratio indicates that the 418 network is easier to identify against the background noise. We will assess the 419 effect of session on these scores using unpaired t-tests across all networks, 420 including all available patients. Effects are considered significant at p<0.05. 421 Finally, we will obtain seed-based functional connectivity maps for left and right 422 hippocampus regions of interest (ROI). These connectivity maps will be entered 423 into group-level comparisons as above. In addition, we will extract for each 424 patient and each session the connectivity strength between each of the 425 hippocampus ROIs and each of the 10 large-scale networks. We will use these 426 mean Z-values for correlation analyses against behavioral metrics obtained for 427 each patient 428 429 Plasma proteomic analysis will be performed on all subjects where samples were 430 plasma samples were collected prior to treatment and immediately post- 431 treatement (i.e. both visits 1 and 7 and, where relevant both visits 8 and 13). 432 Analysis will not be performed where any plasma samples are unavailable from 433 these specific study visits.

434 6.5 Covariates and Subgroups 435 (ICH E3; 9.7.1, 11.4.2.1. ICH E9; 5.7)

436 Due to small sample size, the only subgroup exploratory analysis for treatment 437 effects will be performed based upon ApoE4 status. See above.

438 6.6 Missing Data 439 (ICH E3; 9.7.1, 11.4.2.2. ICH E9;5.3. EMA Guideline on Missing Data in Confirmatory 440 Clinical Trials)

441 In the main analysis, missing data for a particular endpoint will exclude this subject 442 from analysis for this specific endpoint. Due to small sample size, every effort will 443 be made to minimize missing data. We will choose statistical analyses that are less 444 sensitive to missing data, e.g., the linear mixed effects model for secondary 445 endpoints does not require imputation for missing data. For the primary endpoints, 446 there will be no attempt to impute missing data due to the small sample size.

447 6.7.2 Data Monitoring Process

448 6.7 An independent consultant will perform quality assurance on a subset 449 (approximately 33%) of the data. In addition to quality, the monitor will also 450 review adverse events, protocol deviations, and confirm all data is compliant 451 with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements. Per GCP, the confirmation and 452 follow-up letters, as well as all findings, will be documented and stored in the 453 regulatory binder. Subject Disposition: A flow chart will be provided for 454 number of patients screened, randomized (for the first half of the study), 455 number that dropped out, number of completed trial.

456 6.8 Protocol Deviations 457 A major deviation would include a subject completing testing 4 weeks outside of 458 the window required. Protocol deviations for inclusion into analyses will be assessed 459 on a per-case basis as described above. Protocol deviations that have the potential 460 to affect the integrity of study data or the safety of subjects are classified as “Major 461 Protocol Deviations"; all others are classified as “Minor Protocol Deviations.

462 6.9 Demographic and Baseline Variables 463 We will include gender, age, education, ApoE status, CDR-SB, MMSE.
