This is a 78-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIa study. 
Eligible subjects, 60 years or older with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD), will be further screened 
by 18F-AV-45 PET scan for the presence of amyloid deposition. 
Enrolled subjects will be randomized into one of the 3 treatment arms in 1:1:1 ratio. Subjects 
assigned to Arm 1 will receive 7 doses of UB-311 at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60. 
Subjects assigned to Arm 2 will receive 5 doses of UB-311 at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 36, and 60, and 
placebo at Weeks 24 and 48. Subjects assigned to Arm 3 will receive placebo at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 
24, 36, 48, and 60. Subjects will be followed until Week 78. Subjects enrolled in the Phase I trial 
with UB-311 will be excluded from the Phase IIa trial. 
 
ANALYSIS VARIABLES 
4
 
Demographic and Baseline Characteristics 
4.1
The baseline value is defined as the last available value before the first injection of study drug. The 
following demographic and baseline disease characteristics will be summarized by treatment, by 
study center and overall for the randomized and treated population. 
Demographic characteristics are defined as follows: 
 
Age (in years) to be derived as: (date of informed consent - date of birth)/365.25 
 
Gender (male/female) 
 
Body weight (kg) 
 
Body Mass Index (BMI, kg/m2): weight in kg/(height in meters)2 
 
Race 
Disease characteristics including: 
 
Disease duration (years): (date of informed consent– date of diagnosis)/365.25 
 
APOE genotype 
 
Baseline scores of ADAS-Cog total score, MMSE total score, ADCS-ADL total score, 
CDR/CDR-SB total score, NPI total score 
Inflammatory markers including:

Page 10 of 21 
 
CRP 
 
ESR 
 
TNF-α 
 
IL-6 
 
IL-8 
Physical examination, medical history and concomitant disease, previous and concomitant 
medication, and HIS score will be described at baseline. 
The baseline safety data of clinical chemistry and hematology, inflammatory markers and number 
of microhemorrhages in the brain will also be summarized. 
 
Immunogenicity Variables 
4.2
The level of anti-Aβ antibodies is one of the primary endpoints and is assessed at baseline (V1) 
and every following visit (V2 to V13). The one-sided 95% confidence interval (CI, right side) from 
all visits (V1 to V13) for subjects in Arm 3 (placebo group) will be calculated as the threshold of 
response. Antibody responders will be defined as the subjects with serum antibody titer > response 
threshold at any visit after baseline. 
Response rate, treatment difference and its 90% CI will be calculated. 
The AUC of anti-Aβ antibodies will be served as exploratory endpoint. AUC will be calculated by 
the sum of individual trapezoid area under the curve of level of Aβ antibodies. In case of missing 
titer values, last observation carry forward will be used for AUC calculation. 
 
Efficacy Variables 
4.3
Efficacy variables are evaluated as secondary endpoints in this study. 
The change from baseline in cognitive, functional, and global assessments through the end of the 
study 
 
Cognition: ADAS-Cog 
o 
The ADAS-cog 13 contains 13 items, with a total scoring range of 0 – 85 and 
higher scores indicating greater dysfunction. 
 
Cognition: MMSE 
o 
The MMSE is a 30-point questionnaire that is used extensively in clinical and 
research settings to measure cognitive impairment and is commonly used in 
medicine and allied health to screen for dementia. It is also used to estimate the 
severity and progression of cognitive impairment and to follow the course of 
cognitive changes in an individual over time; thus making it an effective way to 
document a participant’s response to treatment. The total score range is 0 – 30 
and lower scores indicating greater impairment. 
 
Function: ADCS-ADL score is range of 0-78 and lower scores indicating greater 
impairment 
 
Global: CDR-SB 


 
 
 
 
Statistical Analysis Plan Version 4.0 Final 
 
 
ICON Study Number: 3262-0001 
Page 11 of 21 
o 
The CDR-SB includes six domains (0-3 points/domain), with a total scoring 
range of 0 – 18 and higher scores indicating greater impartment. The CDR score 
is calculated at baseline for eligibility check. 
 
Behavior: NPI: 
o 
The NPI has 12 domains and for each domain, the relatives assess the frequency 
of the behaviour (4-point scale), the severity of the symptom (3-point scale) and 
the emotional stress for the caregiver (6-point scale). The total score of NPI is 0-
144 and lower scores indicates greater impairment. 
ADAS-Cog, ADCS-ADL, and NPI are rated at baseline (V1), Week 28 (V6), Week 52 (V10) and 
Week 78 (V13), while MMSE and CDR/CDR-SB are assessed at the first screening (S1), Week 24 
(V5), Week 48 (V9) and Week 78 (V13). If a patient withdraws from the study prematurely during 
the study period or does not have any or some of the scores, the data will be treated as missing 
values, and no procedure for handling missing assessments will be applied. 
4.3.1 
SUVR Composite 
Mean SUVR change from baseline will be evaluated for a composite target region comprised of a 
weighted average of selected regions of interests such as frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital and 
precuneus. The corresponding reference region will be the whole cerebellum for the secondary 
endpoint. The SUVR is computed as the ratio of the target region signal to the reference region 
signal. 
4.3.2 
Semi-Quantitative Visual Assessment  
The semi-quantitative visual assessment method will be used to visually assess amyloid burden. 
The change form baseline in the proportion of PET positive subjects with visual read will be 
evaluated.  
4.3.3 
Regional SUVR 
Mean SUVR change from baseline will be evaluated for each of the selected brain regions of 
interest such as frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital and precuneus. The corresponding reference 
region will be the whole cerebellum. The SUVR is computed as the ratio of the target region signal 
to the reference region signal. 
 
 
Safety Variables 
4.4
The safety analysis will be based on the reported adverse events and other safety information 
including: 
 
Local tolerability at injection site 
 
Vital signs 
 
Physical examination 
 
12-lead ECG 
 
Laboratory tests: hematology, clinical chemistry (HbA1c, glucose AC, AST, ALT, 
bilirubin, sodium, total protein, BUN, creatinine, potassium, and albumin), and 
inflammatory parameters (CRP, ESR, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8)

STATISTICAL METHODS 
5
 
General 
5.1
Continuous data will be summarized by treatment group using the number of observations 
available (n), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, interquartile range (IQR), minimum, and 
maximum. 
Categorical data will be summarized by treatment group using count and percentage. Missing data 
will not be categorized in the summaries. 
In general, descriptive statistics of quantitative efficacy and safety parameters (results and changes 
from baseline) by scheduled visit will be provided on observed cases, i.e. the inclusion of only 
subjects with non-missing assessments at a specific visit. 
For undetected value, this study will take the minimum value that can be detected as the text value, 
eg, <3.5 will be treated as 3.5 and <0.012 will be treated as 0.012 when performing the summary 
and will list the original value in listing. 
 
The pre-treatment period is defined as the time from the date of the informed consent to 
the time before the administration of first dose of study medication. 
 
The post-treatment period is defined as the time from after the first dose of study 
medication to the end of the study. 
All statistical tests will be two-sided at the alpha level of 0.05, unless otherwise specified.

Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize the demographic, baseline characteristics data and 
medical history for the safety population to describe the study population by study center, 
treatment group and overall. 
The distribution of demographic and baseline characteristics among three treatment groups will be 
evaluated using chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and the Kruskal-Wallis 
test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables. 
Pathologies associated with past medical and surgical history will be classified into primary system 
organ classes and preferred terms using MedDRA 21.0 and will be summarized by study center, 
treatment group and overall using counts and percentages. The primary system organ classes and 
preferred terms will be sorted in decreasing order of frequency. 
5.7.2 
Physical Examination 
The number and percentage of abnormality at baseline will be summarized by treatment in Safety 
population. 
Shift from baseline for post treatment at scheduled visit will be summarized by treatment in safety 
population with number and percentage. 
5.7.3 
Medical History and Surgery History 
Previous/concomitant medical history and surgery history at baseline will be summarized for 
safety population by treatment with number and percent of patients by primary system organ class 
and preferred term. 
5.7.4 
Previous and Concomitant Medications/Therapy 
Medications will be classified into the following two groups: 
 Previous medications are those that the subject took within 3 months period prior to the 
first screening visit (S1) and prior to the first administration of the study drug at Week 0

(V1/baseline). 
 Concomitant medications are those that the subject continued or started on or after the 
first injection of the study drug up to the end of the study. 
These medications will be classified into anatomic and therapeutic classes using the World Health 
Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary. Subject will only be counted once within each anatomic 
and therapeutic class. 
Descriptive statistics including number of subjects and percentage will be provided. No statistical 
testing for between-group difference will be performed. 
5.7.5

5.8
Overall treatment tolerability and compliance will be summarized in safety population. 
The overall treatment tolerability of UB-311 for each arm is defined as the percentage of number 
of administered doses divided by number of administered doses plus number of missed doses of 
subject(s) who drops out due to drug-related AE(s). It is calculated according to the following 
formula: 
100% x (A+B1+C+D) / (A+B1+B2+C+D) 
where 
A: number of administered doses of completers 
B1: number of administered doses of subject(s) who drops out due to drug-related AE(s) 
B2: number of missed doses of subject(s) who drops out due to drug-related AE(s) 
C: number of administered doses of subject(s) who drops out due to drug-unrelated AE(s)  
D: number of administered doses of subject(s) who drops out not due to AE(s) 
The overall compliance is defined as the actual dose (UB-311 or placebo) of injection compared to 
the prescribed dose of treatment during the study. It is calculated according to the following 
formula: 
100% x (Actual injection dose/Prescribed injection dose) 
 
Analysis of Immunogenicity Variable 
5.9
Anti-Aβ antibodies will be summarized by presenting summary statistics of raw data and change 
from baseline values (n, mean, standard deviation, median, range) at each scheduled visit in mITT 
Population and PP Population.

with serum antibody titer > response threshold at any visit after baseline. The number and 
percentage of patients will be tabulated for each treatment group in mITT Population and PP 
Population at each post treatment scheduled visit. Treatment differences in the proportion antibody 
responders will be analyzed with the Chisq test. The one-sided 95% confidence interval (CI, right 
side) from all visits (V1 to V13) for subjects in Arm 3 (placebo group) will be calculated as the 
threshold of response.

Sample Size 
5.13
This early phase clinical trial is exploratory in nature; hence, the sample size is 
determined to assess the primary objective of safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 
UB-311. The total of 45 subjects is planned to be enrolled, 15 per arms. For each UB-311-
treated arm, 15 subjects are thought to be sufficient to detect an adverse event with an 
incidence of 7%. Furthermore, 30 subjects receiving UB-311 are anticipated to be able to 
detect an adverse event with an incidence of 4%.  
With the current sample sizes, there may be limited power to detect a reduction in mean 
SUVRs or regional SUVRs unless there is a dramatic clearance of pre-existing plaques, 
and extremely limited power to detect effects on cognitive and functional endpoints. 
These analyses are therefore considered exploratory. 
 
Interim Analysis 
5.14
There is no interim analysis for this study. 
 
Multiplicity 
5.15
There is only primary immunogenicity endpoint in this study, and all efficacy endpoint 
will be served as secondary endpoint, and p-Value and its confidence interval will be used 
for screening purpose, so there is no multiplicity adjustment performed. 
 
General Conventions for Tables, Listings and Figures

AND MAIN SECONDARY 
ENDPOINT(S) 
Primary endpoints: 
 Safety and tolerability: the safety evaluations include physical 
examination, vital signs, Amyloid-related Imaging Abnormalities 
(ARIA), clinical chemistry & hematology tests, and incidence of 
adverse event (AE)/serious adverse event (SAE); and 
 The immunogenicity of UB-311 as measured by change from 
baseline in anti-Aβ antibody levels through the end of the study 
and response rate. 
Secondary endpoints: 
 The change from baseline in cognitive, functional, and global 
assessments through the end of the study, including: 
– Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale 
(ADAS-Cog) 
– Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) 
– Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily 
Living (ADCS-ADL) 
– Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)  
– Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) 
 The change of amyloid burden from baseline to Weeks 52 and 78 
in retention of 18F-AV-45, determined by mean standard uptake 
value ratio (SUVR) of selected regions of interests (ROIs), such 
as frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, and precuneus. 
STATISTICAL 
CONSIDERATIONS 
The overall treatment tolerability of UB-311 for each arm is defined 
as the percentage of number of administered doses divided by 
number of administered doses plus number of missed doses of 
subject(s) who drops out due to drug-related AE(s). It is calculated 
according to the following formula: 
100% x (A+B1+C+D)/ (A+B1+B2+C+D) 
where  
A: number of administered doses of completers 
B1: number of administered doses of subject(s) who drops out 
due to drug-related AE(s) 
B2: number of missed doses of subject(s) who drops out due to 
drug-related AE(s) 
C: number of administered doses of subject(s) who drops out due 
to drug-unrelated AE(s) 
D: number of administered doses of subject(s) who drops out not 
due to AE(s)

INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE 
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic and progressive neurodegenerative disease set to become the 
largest socioeconomic burden of the developed world over the coming decades1. Several early 
community-based studies have shown that AD is the most common cause of dementia in Taiwan 
with prevalence ranging from 1.7 to 4.4%2–6 and an incidence rate of about 0.54%7. 
The pathology of AD is characterized by a progressive loss of neurons and synapses with the 
presence of large numbers of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. 
Although symptomatic therapies are available, there is still no proven treatment that can address a 
variety of neurobehavioral disturbances and reverse progression of AD1. Increased amyloid beta 
(Aβ) production or reduced Aβ catabolism has been implicated in the pathogenesis of AD. 
Therapeutic targets have focused on reducing Aβ deposition in brain and evidence shows that 
antibodies targeting Aβ can improve symptoms of AD. Results from successful immunotherapy 
with aggregated Aβ1-42 in transgenic mice overexpressing Aβ1-42 peptide led to the development of 
the first human active immunization trial with synthetic aggregated Aβ1-42 peptide AN1792 in 
combination with QS-21 adjuvant1,8. Analysis of AN1792-treated subjects showed that about 20% 
developed robust antibody response but available data on efficacy showed no significant effects on 
exploratory measures of cognition (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale – Cognitive subscale 
[ADAS-Cog]) or disability (Disability Assessment for Dementia [DAD], Clinical Dementia Rating 
[CDR], Mini Mental State Examination [MMSE])1. However, significant improvements were 
observed in a nine component neuropsychological test battery (NTB), indicating less worsening of 
performance in anti-Aβ antibody responders. Improvements in memory were associated with 
increased antibody response and decreased tau in the cerebrospinal fluid in a small subset of 
patients. The AN1792-treated subjects were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for 
cerebral volume changes; greater decrease of brain volume was noted without cognitive decline in 
antibody responders. Postmortem observations from three patients showed brain regions that were 
devoid of amyloid plaques. Unfortunately, the trial was halted after reports of acute 
meningoencephalitis in 18 of 300 patients treated with AN17921,8,9. 
However, antibodies did not appear to be the cause of meningoencephalitis since adverse reactions 
had no correlation with the generation of antibodies against Aβ1. Examination of two encephalitis 
cases postmortem revealed a marked CD4 positive T-cell infiltration suggesting that adverse 
reaction to Aβ immunotherapy was not due to humoral antibody response but due to T-cell 
mediated response to AN1792. Given that T-cell epitopes have been mapped to the carboxyl 
terminal domain of Aβ17-42, it was suggested that immunotherapy specifically targeting the active 
amino peptide terminal epitopes of Aβ and devoid of the carboxyl terminal domain may possibly 
reduce risk of T-cell mediated inflammatory response1,10. 
UBITh®  AD Immunotherapeutic Vaccine (UB-311) is a mixture of two synthetic peptides that 
include one of two active UBITh®  helper T-cell epitopes linked to a B-cell epitope from the first 14 
amino acids (Aβ1-14) of the amino terminal domain of Aβ with no epitope spreading to the carboxyl 
region in Aβ1-42
11,12. UBITh®  T-cell epitopes are derived from virus T-helper cell peptide epitopes 
rather than from Aβ peptide and thus the T helper cells activated by UB-311 are not likely to 
cross-react with Aβ11,12. The designated UBITh®  T-cell epitopes are promiscuous and highly potent 
and expected to provide a broader and stronger T-cell help than the T helper sites intrinsic to Aβ. 
UB-311 is formulated with mineral salts that have been licensed to be used as an adjuvant by U.S.

FDA. The T-cell response typically associated with this adjuvant is Th-2 response as evidenced by 
the stimulation of IL-4 cytokine secretion in mouse studies13,14. 
Specificity of UB-311 to amino terminal Aβ1-14 reduces the likelihood of a T-cell mediated 
inflammatory response as shown from the results of the preclinical studies in guinea pigs, baboons 
and macaques. Baboons aged more than 10 years immunized with UB-311 at Weeks 0, 3 and 6 and 
boosted at Weeks 78, 81 and 104 had no adverse reactions on observation. The treated baboons 
demonstrated high antibody titers with specificity to the Aβ1-14 domain, but not to the carboxyl 
domain at all dose levels. No unexpected adverse reactions at the injection site have been noted in 
any of the safety and immunogenicity studies conducted in guinea pigs and baboons. An acute and 
chronic toxicity study in Cynomolgous macaques demonstrated safety, tolerability and 
immunogenicity of UB-311. 
The dose selected for UB-311 is based on the data obtained from preclinical studies (Table 1). The 
anti-Aβ antibodies were detected in sera of four of six Macaques after one immunization at the 150 
μg/dose level at 3 weeks post injection and six of six Macaques at the 750 μg/dose level at 3 weeks 
post injection. The immunogenicity was also detected in sera of five of six baboons at the 300 
μg/dose level at 3 weeks post injection, and two of two baboons at the 1200 μg/dose level at 3 
weeks post injection. Therefore, the 300 μg/dose was considered as an appropriate dose and the 
doses over 750 μg were at the plateau of the optimal dose. Regarding the safety, no obvious adverse 
events occurred in the macaque groups receiving either 150 or 750 μg/dose; only some site 
reactogenicity occurred in the group receiving the higher dose, 750 μg/dose. Since human body 
weights are 10-fold to 20-fold higher than that of macaques, the safety associated with these doses 
will not be of concern. The 300 μg/dose was selected as the dose for further clinical evaluation 
because it was found to be safe, well tolerated and strongly immunogenic as shown by all available 
preclinical evidences. In the Phase I clinical trial, UB-311 has demonstrated satisfying safety and 
tolerability profiles when administered to patients with clinically documented mild to moderate 
Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is also capable of eliciting antibodies with specificity to the 
N-terminus of the Aβ1-14 domain after administration by intramuscular route without causing any 
serious adverse events (SAEs) or intolerable adverse events (AEs). The response rate is 100%, 
using greater than one-sided 95% upper limit of the mean baseline titer as cutoff.

The definitive diagnosis of AD requires the presence of progressive dementia and the 
histopathological evidence from a biopsy or autopsy, i.e. neuritic plaques composed of Aβ 
aggregates and neurofibrillary tangles formed from phosphorylated tau protein15,16. The invention of 
Aβ imaging agent facilitates early evaluation of AD neuropathology and serves as a potential 
biomarker for clinical trials of disease-modifying therapies in AD. The 11C-labeled Pittsburgh 
compound B (11C-PiB) was the first positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent to 
visualize Aβ plagues in living patients17,18. Rinne and colleagues have successfully demonstrated 
changes in Aβ load in AD patients treated with bapineuzumab, a passive immunotherapy targeting 
the N terminus of Aβ, by 11C-PiB PET19. However, its utilization is limited by a short half-life of 
20 minutes. Florbetapir F18 (also known as 18F-AV-45, Avid Radiopharmaceuticals, Inc. and Eli 
Lilly and Company), a radioactive diagnostic agent tagged with a radioisotope, fluorine-18, was 
recently approved by U.S. FDA with satisfying safety and effectiveness profiles, and a preferable 
half-life of 110 minutes as compared to 11C-PiB20. In this Phase IIa trial, the change of Aβ burden in 
brain as a proof-of-concept for the mechanism of UB-311 will be evaluated by using 18F-AV-45 
PET imaging. 
A follow-up report on a Phase I study showed that immunization with AN1792 could completely 
remove amyloid plaques as demonstrated by postmortem assessment, but patients still had the 
symptoms of end-stage dementia before death21. This finding suggests that clearance of amyloid 
plaques alone cannot repair existing damaged neurons and prevent disease progression. Increasing 
evidence from patients with mild-to-moderate AD has shown that the disease might be already 
beyond the disease-modifying effect of an immunotherapy22. Thus it would be reasonable to initiate 
treatment with disease-modifying effect before substantial neuronal loss or neuropathologic change 
that has damaged the brain. In the Phase I clinical trial with UB-311, a subset of older patients (age 
>60 years) with higher baseline MMSE scores (MMSE >20) showed both high antibody responses 
to the UB-311 vaccine after 3 dosages and improved clinical profiles as assessed by ADAS-Cog, 
MMSE and ADCS-CGIC scores23. Thus, subjects with mild AD are selected as the target patient 
population in this Phase IIa study to further demonstrate the safety and tolerability, establish the 
efficacy profiles, and explore other clinical benefits of UB-311. The Phase IIa clinical study will 
evaluate UB-311 as a promising candidate for active immunotherapy of mild Alzheimer’s disease.

OBJECTIVES 
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety and tolerability of two regimens of 
UB-311, and to evaluate the immunogenicity of two regimens of UB-311 through measurement of 
anti-Aβ antibodies. 
The secondary objectives are to evaluate the effects of UB-311 on the changes of cognitive and 
functional performance over a period of 78 weeks, and to investigate whether UB-311 treatment 
results in changes in amyloid deposition in vivo by 18F-AV-45 PET imaging.

Version: 5.0, Date: 28-Nov-2017 
 
for evaluating the eligibility of the subjects are performed at S1. 
Subjects meeting inclusion criteria 1 to 14 and none of the exclusion criteria are eligible for the 
second stage screening (S2, Weeks -6~<0) for the positive of β amyloid (Aβ) plaques on 18F-AV-45 
PET by an imaging expert per central independent review (See Section 3 of Appendix 1 Imaging 
Protocol). 
 
3.1.2 Treatment Period 
Subjects meeting all inclusion criteria, presenting no exclusion criteria, and with Aβ imaging in the 
brain enter the treatment period, from V1 (Week 0) to V11 (Week 60). These subjects are 
randomized into one of the 3 treatment arms before treatment initiation at V1. 
 
3.1.3 Follow-up Period  
The follow-up period comprises 2 visits: V12 (Week 64) and V13 (Week 78).  
 
3.2 Endpoints 
 
3.2.1 Primary 
The primary endpoints of this study are:  
 Safety and tolerability of UB-311 during the study period. 
 The immunogenicity of UB-311 as measured by 
– Change from baseline in anti-Aβ antibody levels through the end of the study 
– Response rate (see section 6.1.2 for definition) 
 
3.2.2 Secondary 
The secondary endpoints are: 
 The change from baseline in cognitive, functional, and global assessments through the end of the 
study, including: 
– Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) 
– Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) 
– Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study-Activities of Daily Living (ADCS-ADL) 
– Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB)  
– Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) 
 The change of amyloid burden from baseline to Weeks 52 and 78 in retention of 18F-AV-45,

3.3 Description of Blinding Methods 
The UB-311 and placebo vials are indistinguishable by appearance. Each treatment box is labeled 
with a number, which is generated by a computer program from UNS’s delegate CRO. Investigators 
do not have access to the randomization code except under circumstances described in section 6.4. 
To maintain the blind during the trial, neither the investigator nor the sponsor will have access to the 
data that could potentially compromise study blindness during the study. 
 
3.4 Description of Randomization 
The list of randomized numbers of treatment kits is generated centrally by UNS’s delegate CRO. 
UB-311 and/or placebo are packaged in accordance with this list. 
UNS’s delegate CRO provides a list of the randomized treatment box number and a randomization 
scheme to the Interactive Voice or Web Response System (IVRS/IWRS). The IVRS/IWRS 
generates the subject randomization list to allocate the treatments to subjects. 
Subjects are randomized to one of the three arms in 1:1:1 ratio, providing a projected equal 
distribution of subjects among groups. 
 
3.5 Stopping Rules 
The scientific measures of treatment that correspond to early termination are safety. 
In the event of an unexpected and suspected SAE that results in a life-threatening condition or death, 
the principal investigator(s) will assess the relationship between SAE and the study drug according 
to the subject’s clinical symptoms, clinical data, characteristics of the study medicine and safety 
endpoints, such as MRI results. If the causality assessment confirms that the SAE is definitely 
related to the study drug, and the committees of the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), the 
Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Department of Health (DOH) express consensus opinions, 
the clinical trial might be stopped. The subject will receive immediate clinical treatment for the 
adverse event and will not receive additional administrations of the study medicine. 
After this trial ends, all attempts should be made to follow up all subjects through telephone calls or 
by direct contact, in order to document any delayed or unresolved adverse drug reactions or adverse 
events.

The type and timing of the data to be collected and follow-up for withdrawn subjects 
When a subject decides to withdraw from the study treatment or the study, he/she should be 
contacted to obtain information about the reason(s) for discontinuation and any adverse events. For 
subjects who withdraw from the study treatment or the study after study drug administration, efforts 
will be made, as appropriate and at discretion of investigator, to have an early termination (ET) visit 
arranged as soon as possible. All study procedures listed in Visit 13/ET (see sections 8.2 and 8.3) 
should be completed at the early termination visit when applicable, including: ECG, physical 
examination, vital signs, clinical chemistry and hematology tests, serum anti-Aβ antibody level 
evaluation, recordation of any AE/SAE, concomitant treatments (medications/therapy), imaging 
evaluations (18F-AV-45 PET and MRI), and neuropsychological tests (including MMSE, CDR-SB, 
ADAS-Cog, ADCS-ADL, and NPI). In addition, subjects will be encouraged to complete all 
remaining scheduled visits and procedures before the early termination visit. 
If a subject is withdrawn at a scheduled study visit, the early termination visit could be conducted 
on the same day. Besides, in the event of a drop-out after study drug administration, all attempts 
should be made to follow-up the subject through telephone calls or by direct contact until the end of 
this study (Week 78), in order to document any delayed adverse drug reactions or adverse events.

TREATMENT OF SUBJECTS 
 
5.1 Description of Study Drug 
Study drug: UB-311 (UBITh®  AD Immunotherapeutic Vaccine), 300 µg per 0.5 mL per vial. 
Placebo: delivery vehicle without UB-311 active peptides and CpG. 
 
5.2 Dosing Regimens and Rationale 
Eligible subjects are randomly assigned in 1:1:1 ratio to one of the following treatments:  
 Arm 1: UB-311 for a total of 7 intramuscular (IM) injections at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 
60. 
 Arm 2: UB-311 for a total of 5 IM injections at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 36, and 60. In order to maintain 
the blindness, subjects assigned to arm 2 will receive 2 IM injections of placebo at Weeks 24 and 
48. 
 Arm 3: placebo for a total of 7 IM injections at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60. 
Injections will be given on alternate arms or at different sites, which will be recorded. 
The 300 µg of UB-311 in 0.5 mL sterile aqueous solution is the maximal concentration feasible in 
the current intramuscular injection formulation containing CpG-ODN and Adjuphos. Therefore, the 
dose escalation in the Phase IIa study will be based on the cumulative doses according to various 
treatment schedules instead of different amount of UB-311 per injection.   
A total of three injections of UB-311 at Weeks 0, 4, and 12 with a cumulative dose of 900 µg were 
evaluated in the Phase I clinical trial that showed acceptable safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, 
and positive clinical outcome in mild to moderate AD patients over a one–year period. In the Phase 
IIa study, the dose will be escalated based on increased number of injections than the Phase I study. 
Subjects assigned to Arm 1 will receive 7 injections of UB-311, 300 µg each at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 24, 
36, 48, and 60 with a cumulative dose of 2,100 µg. Subjects assigned to Arm 2 will receive 5 
injections of UB-311, 300 µg each at Weeks 0, 4, 12, 36, and 60 with a cumulative dose of 1,500 
µg.  
The Phase I study showed that three priming doses at Weeks 0, 4, and 12 successfully established 
sufficient immunogenicity against Aβ, thus the priming schedule was adopted for the current study. 
Additional doses for Arm 1 and Arm 2 at the frequency of 3 and 6 months, respectively, are 
intended to assess the requirement for maintaining elicited antibody levels. Furthermore, the dosing 
regimen of Arm 1 represents the most frequent injection schedule, allowing evaluation of safety and 
efficacy of the strongest antibody response.

The treatment box for each subject includes 7 vials numbered in the order of injection. The boxes 
for Arm 1 contain 7 vials of UB-311. The boxes for Arm 2 contain 5 vials of UB-311 and 2 vials of 
placebo. The boxes for Arm 3 contain 7 vials of placebo. Each box and vial is labelled with the 
randomization code, storage condition, and manufacturer. 
 
5.3.2 Storage 
The study drugs have to be stored between 2C and 8C. The study drugs at each study site must be 
properly stored, under the responsibility of the investigator or the pharmacist in accordance with the 
storage conditions indicated on the label. The monitor should check the storage conditions during 
the monitoring visits. 
 
5.4 Drug Accountability 
The study drugs should be kept in pharmacy of each study site, and be administered to subjects in 
the clinical trial under the responsibility of the investigator. In addition, the investigator should keep 
accurate drug delivery records. Any study drug accidentally or deliberately destroyed should be 
accounted for and documented. Any discrepancies between the amounts dispensed and those 
returned should be explained. 
After the end of the study, all used and unused vials of study drug should be packed, sealed, and 
returned to UNS. All remaining study drugs should be destroyed by UNS or its designee. 
 
5.5 Concomitant Medicines 
All concomitant medications should be recorded in the case report form (CRF). 
 
5.5.1 Permitted Medicines 
Permitted medicines/treatments are subject’s routinely used medications or the treatments which are 
judged by the investigator as not to affect the efficacy and safety assessments in the study (e.g. 
antihypertensives). 
In addition, the following medications may be permitted: 
 Acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil hydrochloride, rivastigmine tartrate, tacrine, 
galantamine); N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist (memantine); ergot alkaloids 
and their derivatives, must be on stable dose for at least 3 months prior to the screening visit and 
during the study period. 
 Ginkgo biloba 
 Piracetam (Nootropil) 
 Vitamin E (400 IU/day)

ASSESSMENT OF INVESTIGATIONAL PRODUCT 
 
6.1 Immunogenicity 
Immunogenicity is evaluated as one of the primary endpoints in this study. 
 Change from baseline in anti-Aβ antibody levels through the end of the study (Week 78) 
 Response rate (see section 6.1.2 for definition) 
 
6.1.1 Anti-Aβ antibody measurement 
For the immunogenicity assessment of the investigational product, UB-311, the level of anti-Aβ 
antibodies in the serum samples will be measured by a validated enzyme immunoassay 
manufactured by United Biomedical, Inc. (UBI). 
The level of anti-Aβ antibodies is assessed at every visit throughout the study period from V1 to 
V13 (Weeks 0/baseline, 4, 12, 16, 24, 28, 36, 40, 48, 52, 60, 64, and 78). For visits that UB-311 or 
placebo is scheduled to be administrated (V1, V2, V3, V5, V7, V9, and V11), blood samples will be 
collected before the treatment. 
 
6.1.2 Response rate 
Antibody responder is defined as the study subject whose serum antibody titer is greater than the 
response threshold (see section 9.2.2 for definition) at any visit after baseline. Response rate will be 
calculated as the percent of the number of antibody responders versus the total number of subjects 
for each arm. 
 
6.2 Safety 
The study-specific and general safety criteria are described in section 7.1 (Safety Endpoints). 
A patient card, including the relevant “24 hour alert system” telephone number, will be provided to 
every subject who participates in the study. 
 
6.3 Efficacy 
Efficacy variables are evaluated as secondary endpoints in this study. 
 
6.3.1 Evaluation variables 
6.3.1.1 The change from baseline in cognitive, functional, and global assessments through the end 
of the study 
 Cognition: ADAS-Cog and MMSE 
 Function: ADCS-ADL

 Global: CDR-SB 
 Behavior: NPI 
 
6.3.1.2 The change of amyloid burden from baseline to Week 52 and Week 78 in retention of 
18F-AV-45  
The data will be expressed by mean regional standard uptake value ratio (SUVR). 
 
6.3.2 Efficacy assessment methods 
 
6.3.2.1 Rating scales 
All scales are rated by an independent clinical psychologist and/or study nurse who has to complete 
the training session specifically designed for this study. 
MMSE and CDR/CDR-SB are evaluated at the first screening (S1), and at Weeks 24 (V5), 48 (V9) 
and 78 (V13). ADAS-Cog, ADCS-ADL, and NPI are evaluated at baseline (V1), and at Weeks 28 
(V6), 52 (V10) and 78 (V13). 
 
6.3.2.2 18F-AV-45 retention measurement  
18F-AV-45 PET is conducted at the second screening (S2), and at Weeks 52 (V10) and 78 (V13) to 
assess the change in Aβ burden from baseline to Weeks 52 and 78 (see Section 3 of Appendix 1 
Imaging Protocol).  
In case of scanning failure, re-injection/re-scanning of 18F-AV-45 is allowed. The detailed 
procedures of 18F-AV-45 PET are described in a separate manual, 18F-AV-45 PET Imaging 
Manual. 
 
6.4 Measures to protect blinding of this trial 
This is a double-blind study. In order to protect blinding, study drug will be labelled with individual 
unique randomization codes. In the event that an adverse effect is considered serious and related to 
the study drug, and knowing the assignment is essential for treating the subject, the investigator is 
allowed to call IVRS/IWRS to obtain the treatment code of that individual subject. If the treatment 
assignment is unblinded, the investigator must notify UNS in writing and document the course of 
the events in the CRF.  
The treatment arm for each subject will be coded so that the subject, investigator, and research staff 
do not know the arm assignment until the end of the study. Personnel related to analysis, statistics, 
and report writing will remain blinded before database lock.

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY 
 
7.1 Safety Endpoints 
 
Local tolerability at the injection site 
 
Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) including vasogenic edema and/or sulcal 
effusion (ARIA-E) and hemosiderin deposits (ARIA-H), such as microhemorrhage and 
superficial siderosis.  
 
Other adverse events and serious adverse events 
 
Vital signs 
 
Physical examination 
 
12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) 
 
Laboratory tests: hematology, clinical chemistry, and inflammatory parameters 
 
7.1.1 Local tolerability 
Local tolerability at injection site will be evaluated by the investigator at 30-60 minutes 
post-injection at Weeks 0 (V1/baseline), 4 (V2), 12 (V3), 24 (V5), 36 (V7) 48 (V9), and 60 (V11). 
The subjects will record injection site reactions happening between 1 hour post-injection and 7 days 
post-injection in the patient diary (see Section 7.3). Subjects will be instructed not to rub or 
otherwise tamper with their injection site. 
 
7.1.2 Clinical safety 
Clinical safety will be assessed by physical examination and vital signs (including temperature, 
respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, and body weight) at screening (S1 and S2) and at every 
visit throughout the study (V1 to V13). Neurology examination and vital signs will be assessed 
again 30-60 minutes after study drug injection at Weeks 0 (V1/baseline), 4 (V2), 12 (V3), 24 (V5), 
36 (V7), 48 (V9), and 60 (V11). 
   
7.1.3 Adverse event collection 
Adverse events and serious adverse events will be collected from the time of signing informed 
consent form and then at each visit until the end of the study.  
 
7.1.4 ECG 
A 12-lead ECG record is performed at the first screening (S1) and at Weeks 52 (V10) and 78 (V13). 
The 12-lead ECGs should be performed after at least 10 minutes in supine position. The electrodes 
are to be positioned at the same place for each ECG recording.

Both traces will be analyzed in comparison with the screening recorded trace at the end of the study. 
The original trace is kept as source data. In the CRF the assessment “normal”, “abnormal-clinically 
significant”, or “abnormal- not clinically significant” as determined by the investigator, is collected.  
 
7.1.5 MRI 
MRI is performed at the first screening (S1) and at Weeks 12 (V3), 24 (V5), 36 (V7), 48 (V9), 60 
(V11), and 78 (V13) to monitor ARIA and age-related white matter changes (ARWMC) that may 
be induced by amyloid-modifying therapy. Please refer to Appendix 1 Imaging Protocol for the 
detailed methods.  
 
7.1.6 Safety laboratory 
The following laboratory data are collected: 
 
Hematology: complete blood count including differential cell count and absolute neutrophil 
count at the first screening (S1) and every visit throughout the study (V1 to V13). 
 
Clinical chemistry: HbA1c at the first screening (S1); glucose AC, AST, ALT, bilirubin, 
sodium, total protein, BUN, creatinine, potassium, and albumin at the first screening (S1) and 
every visit throughout the study (V1 to V13). 
 
Inflammatory parameters: RF and ANA at the first screening (S1); CRP and ESR at the first 
screening (S1), and at Weeks 4 (V2), 16 (V4), 28 (V6), 40 (V8), 52 (V10), and 64 (V12); 
TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-8 at Weeks 0 (V1), 4 (V2), and 64 (V12). 
For visits that UB-311 or placebo is scheduled to be administered (V1, V2, V3, V5, V7, V9, and 
V11), blood samples will be collected before the treatment. 
 
7.2  Safety Instructions 
 
7.2.1 Local tolerability 
In the case where the investigator or the subject recognizes any signs of local intolerability, this 
should be recorded on the AE form in the CRF. 
 
7.2.2 Monitoring of ARIA 
Because vasogenic edema and other amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) have been 
reported in clinical trials with multiple therapeutic avenues to lower Aβ burden in AD, subjects 
enrolled in this study will be followed for any suspected vasogenic edema (i.e. with symptoms 
and/or signs of headache, loss of coordination [ataxia], weakness or decreasing levels of 
consciousness) or ARIA. All Principal Investigators should be notified of the possible occurrence of 
ARIAs and the measures to be taken. 
The detailed procedures of MRI are described in a separate imaging manual by a Central Imaging 
Corelab.

7.3 Adverse Events Recording 
During the scheduled visits, adverse events should be collected by means of standard questions (For 
example: Have you had any health problems since the previous visit?). Spontaneously reported 
and/or observed adverse events and the responses to the questions should be recorded on the CRF 
with information about the degree of seriousness and any action taken. 
The patient diary will be used to record injection site reactions happening between 1 hour 
post-injection and 7 days post-injection. (Please also refer to the Injection Reaction Plan to acquire 
necessary information).  
All adverse events are to be coded to a “Preferred Term” and primary “System-Organ Class” using 
the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). AEs are reported and graded using 
National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 
4.03 or later. 
 
7.4 Adverse Events Monitoring 
Adverse events will be monitored by Contract Research Organization (CRO) based on its 
Monitoring Plan. All events will be managed and reported, and included in the final clinical study 
report.  
 
7.5 Definitions of Adverse Event and Serious Adverse Event 
An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation 
subject during the participation of the study, whether or not considered related to the medicinal 
product. An AE can therefore be any new or exacerbated unfavorable and unintended sign 
(including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease. The occurrence does not 
necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. 
A priori, efficacy endpoints as specified in the protocol will not be considered as AEs except if, 
because of the course or severity or any other features of such events, the investigator, according to 
his/her best medical judgment, considers these events as exceptional in this medical condition. 
Unexpected adverse drug experience is defined as any adverse drug experience, the specificity or 
severity of which is not consistent with the current investigator brochure; or, if an investigator 
brochure is not required or available, the specificity or severity of which is not consistent with the 
risk information described in the general investigative plan or elsewhere in the current application, 
as amended. “Unexpected”, as used in this definition, refers to an adverse drug experience that has 
not been previously observed (e.g., included in the investigator’s brochure) rather than from the 
perspective of such experience not being anticipated from the pharmacological properties of the 
pharmaceutical product. 
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: 
 
Results in death or, 
 
Is life-threatening or, 


 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
United Neuroscience Ltd. 
 
 
Clinical Trial Protocol: V203-AD 
19 
Version: 5.0, Date: 28-Nov-2017 
 
Note: The term "life-threatening" in the definition of "serious" refers to an event in which the 
patient was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe. 
 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or, 
 
Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or, 
 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or, 
 
Is a medically important event: 
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that may not be immediately 
life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. 
 
An adverse event fulfilling any one or more of these criteria should be reported as a serious adverse 
event, irrespective of the dose of drug given, and even if it is the result of an interaction or drug 
abuse. 
A distinction should be drawn between serious and severe adverse events. The term ‘severe’ is often 
used to describe the intensity (severity) of a specific event (as in mild, moderate, or severe 
myocardial infarction); the event itself, however, may be of relatively minor medical significance 
(such as severe headache). This is not the same as ‘serious,’ which is based on subject’s event 
outcome or action criteria usually associated with events that pose a threat to a subject’s life or 
functioning. The seriousness (not severity) serves as a guide for defining regulatory reporting 
obligations. 
 
7.6 Recording and Reporting of Adverse Event 
All AEs and SAEs, regardless of seriousness or relationship to study drug(s), spanning from the 
first visit planned in the Clinical Trial Protocol/signature of the informed consent form up to the last 
(post treatment follow-up) visit, are to be reported and recorded on the corresponding page(s) or 
screen(s) included in the CRF. 
Laboratory, vital signs or ECG abnormalities are to be recorded as Adverse Events only if they are 
medically relevant: symptomatic, requiring corrective treatment, leading to discontinuation and/or 
fulfilling a seriousness criterion. 
The investigator may be asked to provide photocopies of the medical records for completing the AE 
or SAE report. The medical records submitted to the relevant parties will conceal the subjects’ 
names. It is the responsibility of the investigator to report AEs or SAEs by diagnosis terminologies, 
if possible. When the diagnosis is possible for the reported AE or SAE, no signs and symptoms used 
to establish that particular diagnosis should be reported. 
The investigator will be asked to determine the severity and causality of each AE and SAE based on 
the investigator’s clinical judgment. Adverse event reporting begins from date of consent and ended 
on the last day of the study period. The intensity of the AEs is graded according to the Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 as follows:

Version: 5.0, Date: 28-Nov-2017 
 
 
Severity of AE 
Description 
Grade 1 
Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention 
not indicated. 
Grade 2 
Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate 
instrumental activities of daily living (ADL)*. 
Grade 3 
Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or 
prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL**. 
Grade 4 
Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. 
Grade 5 
Death related to AE. 
Activities of Daily Living (ADL): 
*Instrumental ADL refers to preparing meals, shopping for groceries or clothes, using the telephone, managing money, etc. 
**Self care ADL refers to bathing, dressing and undressing, feeding self, using the toilet, taking medications, and not bedridden. 
 
The investigator makes a judgment regarding whether or not the AE is related to study drug, using 
the definitions below. The investigator is to evaluate any changes in laboratory values and make a 
determination as to whether or not the change is clinically important and whether or not the changes 
are related to study drug. However, even if the investigator determines there is no relationship to the 
study drug, the AE or clinically significant laboratory abnormality must still be recorded in the CRF 
along with the investigator’s assessment of relationship as follows: 
 
Relationship 
Description 
Unrelated 
The AE must definitely have been caused by the subject’s clinical state, or the study 
procedure/conditions (i.e. it had no association with the study drug) 
Unlikely 
The temporal association between the AE and the study drug was such that the study drug 
was not likely to have any reasonable association with AE. 
Possible 
The AE followed a reasonable temporal sequence from the time of drug administration, but 
could have been produced by the subject’s clinical state or the study procedures / conditions. 
Probable 
The AE followed a reasonable temporal sequence from the time of study drug administration, 
abated upon discontinuation of the study drug and could not be reasonably explained by the 
known characteristics of the subject’s clinical state. 
Definite 
The AE followed a reasonable temporal sequence from the time of study drug administration, 
abated upon discontinuation of the study drug and reappeared when the study drug is 
introduced. 
 
It is usually important for the investigators to take information of underlying diseases, concomitant 
drugs, temporal relationship of the onset of the event to the time of dosing the study medication, 
and re-challenging outcomes, into account when making a causal relation decision. 


 
 
CONFIDENTIAL 
United Neuroscience Ltd. 
 
 
Clinical Trial Protocol: V203-AD 
21 
Version: 5.0, Date: 28-Nov-2017 
 
It is the investigators’ responsibility to follow proactively the outcome of each AE/SAE until 
resolution or stabilization of the condition or lost of follow-up. 
Whether or not related to the study medication, all SAEs which happen during the study must be 
reported to the sponsor (UNS) and the CRO within the time frame (within 24 hours beginning from 
the investigator's knowledge of the event). 
An Adverse Event Form should be completed for all SAEs and forwarded to the CRO/sponsor 
within 24 hours. When new significant information is obtained as well as when outcome of an event 
is known, the investigator should inform the CRO/sponsor. In applicable cases, sponsor may 
request a letter from the investigator summarizing events related to the case. Investigator should 
follow subjects as far as possible until an outcome to the events is known. 
The SAE/SUSAR (Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction) will be reported to the 
regulatory authority and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) according to the Good Clinical 
Practice (GCP), regulatory, and IRB requirements. A SUSAR is defined as the SAE with the nature 
and severity of which is not consistent with the applicable product information (e.g., investigator’s 
brochure for an unapproved investigational medicinal product or package insert for an approved 
medicinal product). The investigator is responsible to communicate details of medical emergencies 
in trial subjects to the IRB. In case of a SAE/SUSAR results in death or a life-threatening event, the 
investigator should notify IRB at the assigned institution via a written document as soon as possible 
within 7 days of the initial recognition (followed by completing report within 8 days) and the other 
SAE/SUSARs within 15 days. Sponsor/CRO is responsible to inform the events to the regulatory 
authorities within the same time frame. 
 
7.7 Follow-up 
The investigator should take all appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the subjects; notably 
he/she should follow up the outcome of any AEs (clinical signs, laboratory values or other, etc.) 
until the return to normal or consolidation of the subject's condition. 
In case of any SAE, the subject must be followed up until clinical recovery is complete and 
laboratory results have returned to normal, or until progression has been stabilized. This may imply 
that follow-up will continue after the subject has left the clinical trial. 
In case of any SAE brought to the attention of the investigator at any time after the initiation of 
clinical trial and considered by him/her to be caused by the study drug with a reasonable possibility, 
this should be reported to the sponsor or the sponsor’s delegate within the time frame beginning 
from the investigator's knowledge of the event. 
 
7.8 Obligation of the Sponsor 
During the course of the study, the sponsor will report in an expedited manner all SAEs that are 
both unexpected and at least reasonably related to the study drug to the health authorities, IRBs as 
appropriate and to the investigators. 
In addition, the sponsor may report in an expedited manner all SAEs that are expected and at least 
reasonably related to the study drug to the authorities, according to local regulations. 


 
 
CONFIDENTIAL

Version: 5.0, Date: 28-Nov-2017 
 
The sponsor will report all safety observations made during the conduct of the trial in the clinical 
study report (CSR). 
 
7.9 Data and Safety Monitoring Board 
A Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) with members independent from the sponsor and the 
clinical investigators is implemented in order to ensure the protection and safety of enrolled patients 
in the study. The DSMB members include: 
 An expert in the clinical aspects of the Alzheimer’s disease patient population being studied, 
 A biostatistician, and 
 An investigator with expertise in current clinical trials conduct and methodology. 
Each DSMB member will sign a Conflict of Interest Statement at the time they are invited to 
participate to declare that he/she does not have financial, proprietary, professional, or other interests 
that may affect impartial, independent decision-making by the DSMB. 
The DSMB is responsible for reviewing safety data, study conduct, and progress. Based on the 
review, the DSMB makes recommendations to the clinical investigators concerning the continuation, 
modification, or termination of the trial. In the V203-AD trial, the DSMB will convene for the first 
time after the 9th subject completes Visit 6, for the second time after the 18th subject completes Visit 
10, and for the third time after the 27th subject completes V13 to assess the safety data in the 
V203-AD trial. An emergency meeting of the DSMB may be called at any time by the DSMB Chair 
should questions on participants’ safety or other unanticipated problems arise. 
It is the responsibility of CRO or sponsor to ensure that the DSMB is informed about safety 
information relevant to the study. This includes providing the DSMB with preclinical data, results 
from the phase I study, and the phase IIa protocol before initiation of the trial, and a DSMB report 
at least one week prior to a scheduled meeting. The CRO is responsible for preparing the DSMB 
briefing materials, which consist of: 
 Subject recruitment, retention, and withdrawal information 
 AEs and SAEs 
– Tabulated by preferred term, intensity, seriousness, duration, treatment given, and the 
relationship to the study drug and study procedure 
– Individual events of particular concern 
 Tabulated clinical test results and laboratory values (e.g. raw values, changes/shifts from 
baseline, and clinical abnormalities), including clinical chemistry, hematology tests, and 12-lead 
electrocardiogram (ECG) 
 Vital signs and physical exam outcomes 
 Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) including vasogenic edema and/or sulcal 
effusion (ARIA-E) and hemosiderin deposits (ARIA-H), such as microhemorrhage and 
superficial siderosis. 
Any other safety-related data requested by the DSMB

At the conclusion of a DSMB meeting, the DSMB will issue a summary report, which documents 
the review of data and outcomes across all sites took place on a given date. It should summarize the 
DSMB members’ opinions on the cumulative data reported from all participating sites without 
disclosure by treatment arm. It should also inform clinical investigators of the DSMB members’ 
conclusions with respect to progress or need for modification of the protocol. The summary report 
will be forwarded to each clinical investigator and the sponsor. The clinical investigator is required 
to transmit the summary report to his/her local IRB. 
 
7.10 Risk Management 
Postvaccination meningoencephalitis was reported in over 6% of patients treated with AN1792 for 
AD9,10. Based on the experiences of AN1792 clinical trials, the following measures are used to 
manage potential risks: 
1. Strict Enrollment Criteria 
Subjects with any evidence of CNS infection, infarction, other focal lesions, more than four 
microhemorrhages, multiple lacunes or lacunes in a critical memory structure by MRI, as well as 
having history of autoimmune disease will be excluded from the study. 
2. Sample Size 
A total of 45 subjects are planned to be enrolled. Among them, 30 subjects receiving UB-311 are 
anticipated to be able to detect an adverse event with an incidence of 4%. 
3. Regular MRI evaluations 
Brain MRI scans will be performed every 12 weeks during the treatment period and also at the 
end of study to ensure that any change or lesion in the brain, such as meningoencephalitis, 
vasogenic edema or microhemorrhage can be detected as early as possible.  
4. Regular Clinical Monitoring 
Clinical symptoms and laboratory data of hematology and clinical chemistry will be monitored 
closely throughout the study. Adverse events will be followed until conditions are resolved or 
stabilized. 
5. Establishment of DSMB 
DSMB will be implemented in this trial and DSMB meetings will be held as scheduled to ensure 
the protection and safety of enrolled subjects. DSMB meeting will also be held in response to 
any urgent safety events. 
6. Meningoencephalitis Management by Investigator 
If meningoencephalitis occurs, investigator will treat the subject with standard clinical 
procedures, such as giving bed rest, avoiding daylight, supplying fluid, and providing 
medications for pain control including anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant and anti-emetic drugs. 
Corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce tissue swelling or cerebral edema if necessary.

STUDY PROCEDURES 
 
8.1 Study Visits 
The study consists of a screening period (up to 6 weeks) with 2 visits, a double-blind, 
placebo-controlled treatment period (60 weeks) with 11 visits, and a double-blind follow-up period 
(18 weeks) with 2 visits. From V2 (Week 4) to V12 (Week 64), a time frame of  3 days is 
acceptable using the day of V1 as reference (Day 0), i.e. if one visit date is changed, the next visit 
should take place according to the original schedule. For V13 (Week 78), a time frame of  7 days 
is acceptable using the day of V1 as reference. Out of visit/dosing window and missing visit/dose 
are considered as protocol deviations. Additional items for research purposes at each visit will be 
described in details in a separate research protocol (Appendix 2). 
 
8.1.1 The First Stage Screening (-42 < Day < 0) 
The first screening (S1) may take place no more than 42 days prior to randomization. The subject 
receives verbal information concerning the aims and methods of the study, its constraints and risks, 
and the study duration. The written informed consent must be signed by the subject, the subject’s

STATISTICS 
The material of this section is the basis for the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) for the study. The 
SAP may be revised during the study to accommodate Clinical Trial Protocol amendments and to 
make changes to adapt to unexpected issues in study execution and data that may affect planned 
analyses. 
 
9.1 Determination of Sample Size 
This early phase clinical trial is exploratory in nature; hence, the sample size is determined to assess 
the primary objective of safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of UB-311. The total of 45 
subjects is planned to be enrolled, 15 per arms. For each UB-311-treated arm, 15 subjects are 
thought to be sufficient to detect an adverse event with an incidence of 7%. Furthermore, 30 
subjects receiving UB-311 are anticipated to be able to detect an adverse event with an incidence of 
4%.

9.2.2 Immunogenicity variables 
The level of anti-Aβ antibodies is one of the primary endpoints and is assessed at baseline (V1) and 
every following visit (V2 to V13). The one-sided 95% confidence interval (CI, right side) from all 
visits (V1 to V13) for subjects in Arm 3 (placebo group) will be calculated as the threshold of 
response. Antibody responders will be defined as the subjects with serum antibody titer > response 
threshold at any visit after baseline. Response rate will be calculated for each arm. 
 
9.2.3 Efficacy variables 
 
9.2.3.1 Rating scales 
ADAS-Cog, ADCS-ADL, and NPI are rated at baseline (V1), Week 28 (V6), Week 52 (V10) and 
Week 78 (V13), while MMSE and CDR/CDR-SB are assessed at the first screening (S1), Week 24 
(V5), Week 48 (V9) and Week 78 (V13). If a patient withdraws from the study prematurely during 
the study period or does not have any or some of the scores, the data will be treated as missing 
values, and no procedure for handling missing assessments will be applied.  
 
9.2.3.2 18F-AV-45 retention 
18F-AV-45 PET scanning is performed at the second screening (S2), Week 52 (V10), and Week 78 
(V13). No procedure for handling missing assessments will be applied if there is a missing value.

Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) including vasogenic edema and/or sulcal 
effusion (ARIA-E) and hemosiderin deposits (ARIA-H), including microhemorrhage and 
superficial siderosis  
 
Vital signs 
 
Physical examination 
 
12-lead ECG

and the Kruskal-Wallis test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables.  
Pathologies associated with past medical and surgical history will be classified into primary system 
organ classes and preferred terms using MedDRA and will be summarized by study center, 
treatment group and overall using counts and percentages. The primary system organ classes and 
preferred terms will be sorted in decreasing order of frequency. 
 
9.4.1.2 Previous and concomitant medications/therapy 
Medications will be classified into the following two groups: 
 
Previous medications are those that the subject took within 24 week period prior to the first 
screening visit (S1) and prior to the first administration of the study drug at Week 0 
(V1/baseline). 
 
Concomitant medications are those that the subject continued or started on or after the first 
injection of the study drug up to the end of the study. 
These medications will be classified into anatomic and therapeutic classes using the World Health 
Organization (WHO) Drug Dictionary. Subject will only be counted once within each anatomic and 
therapeutic class. 
Descriptive statistics including number of subjects and percentage will be provided. No statistical 
testing for between-group difference will be performed. 
 
9.4.1.3 Baseline efficacy and safety data 
For efficacy and safety analysis, the baseline for a given parameter is defined as the last available 
value prior to the first injection of the study medication. Baseline efficacy and safety variables will

investigators to assist in the conduct of the clinical trial in accordance with the clinical trial 
protocol. All co-investigators shall be appointed and listed in a timely manner. The co-investigators 
will be supervised by and work under the responsibility of the Investigator. The investigator will 
provide them with a copy of the clinical trial protocol and all necessary information. 
 
10.2 Responsibility of the Sponsor 
The sponsor of this clinical trial is responsible to health authorities for taking all reasonable steps to 
ensure the proper conduct of the clinical trial protocol as regards ethics, clinical trial protocol 
compliance, and integrity and validity of the data recorded on the case report forms. Thus, the main 
duty of the sponsor or sponsor’s delegate is to help the investigator and the sponsor maintain a high 
level of ethical, scientific, technical and regulatory quality in all aspects of the clinical trial. 
At regular intervals during the clinical trial, the site will be contacted, through monitoring visits, 
letters or telephone calls, by a representative of the sponsor or sponsor’s delegate to review study 
progress, investigator and subject compliance with clinical trial protocol requirements and any 
emergent problems. These monitoring visits will include but are not limited to review of the 
following aspects: subject informed consent, subject recruitment and follow-up, SAE 
documentation and reporting, AE documentation, study drug allocation, subject compliance with 
the study drug regimen, study drug accountability, concomitant therapy use and quality of data. 
 
10.3 Source Document Requirements 
According to the ICH guidelines for GCP, the sponsor or sponsor’s delegate must check the case 
report form (CRF) entries against the source documents, except for the pre-identified source data 
directly recorded in the CRF. The informed consent form will include a statement by which the 
patient allows the sponsor’s duly authorized personnel, the independent ethics committee 
(IRB/IEC), and the regulatory authorities to have direct access to original medical records which 
support the data on the CRF (eg, subject's medical file, appointment books, original laboratory

APPENDIX 1: IMAGING PROTOCOL

Introduction 
Since amyloid-modifying therapeutic agents have entered Alzheimer’s disease (AD) clinical trials 
over the past decade, the occurrence of imaging abnormalities has required careful consideration by 
pharmaceutical companies and regulatory authorities. Brain imaging in AD has undergone 
revolutionary changes with the wide availability of an unprecedented array of new techniques. 
18F-AV-45 positron emission tomography (PET) exhibits high affinity specific binding to amyloid 
plaques. Since a negative 18F-AV-45 PET scan result reduces the likelihood that a patient’s 
cognitive impairment is due to AD, it can be an adjunct to other diagnostic evaluations. Various 
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods are typically used in clinical trials of mild cognitive 
impairment (MCI)/AD for three purposes: 1) Eligibility and enrichment; 2) Safety: monitor side 
effects related to the study drug. 3) Efficacy: provide quantitative imaging biomarkers to assess 
drug effects on neurodegeneration longitudinally.  
It is standard practice in AD trials to exclude patients with radiological evidence of 
space-occupying lesions, major vascular disease or infarct. Since the clinical diagnosis of AD 
during life is frequently inaccurate outside of research centers, 18F-AV-45 PET may have value as 
an adjunct to clinical diagnosis. For some amyloid-modifying therapies, microhemorrhages are a 
risk factor for drug side effects. The safety MRI assessments focus on the recently described 
amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) seen in therapies directed at amyloid pathway 
modification, “vasogenic edema” and/or sulcal effusion (ARIA-E) and hemosiderin deposits 
(ARIA-H), including microhemorrhages and superficial siderosis. The volumetric MRI (vMRI) 
acquisition and derived metrics assess the neurodegenerative consequences of the disease and 
potential therapeutic alteration on both regional and whole brain structures. Resting-state functional 
MRI (rs-fMRI) is an imaging method that reflects synaptic activity through changes in blood flow 
and the deoxyhemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin ratio, and the structures that are particularly vulnerable 
for early amyloid deposition in AD appear to overlap with the heteromodal cortices of the default 
mode network.

MRI Methods 
Each imaging site will be required to satisfy the requirements of MRI Site Qualification by 
completing a site specific technical evaluation form, completing imaging manual training and 
approval of all MRI scanners to be utilized for study subjects. Prior to site initiation, a MRI Imaging 
Manual, outlining image sequences and parameters will be created. All MRI imaging time points 
are to be acquired, reconstructed and submitted as described in the Imaging Manual. An Image 
Corelab will collect the MRI image data and an independent reviewer, with appropriate 
qualification, will make a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the screening MRI and safety 
MRI scans for each imaging time point. 
2.1 Screening MRI Scan

Beside results of laboratory test and ECG, the brain imaging performed at screening visit or during 
the screening stage must be available and free of any clinically significant abnormalities likely to 
interfere with the study conduct or evaluations. For all the brain imaging studies, sites should 
operate under the local institution regulations and policies for patient management and care and 
provide scans in digital imaging and communication in medicine format and ideally be able to 
transfer via secure internet connection to the imaging core lab. MRI scans should be acquired on 
either 1.5 or 3.0 Tesla scanners manufactured by General Electric Company, Philips or Siemens. 
Toshiba scanners may also be considered but the equipment should be less than 10 years old. The 
subject positioning should remain unchanged throughout the MRI examination. Proper subject 
positioning is crucial for successful reproduction of serial MRI exams. Therefore, it is important 
that each subject is positioned in the same manner for each and every MRI exam. 
Exclusion criteria: the first screening MRI scan with evidence of followings: 
 Central nerves system (CNS) infection (e.g., neurosyphilis, acquired immune deficiency 
syndrome or prion disease); 
 Major neurological disorder or degenerative conditions associated with significant cognitive 
impairment such as multiple sclerosis or Huntington’s disease; 
 Structural lesions (e.g., primary or secondary brain tumors, subdural hematoma or 
normal-pressure hydrocephalus);  
 Severe traumatic brain injury; 
 Cerebrovascular disease;  
 Multiple infarction (at least 2 different arterial territories involved), or a large intracerebral infact 
(>2 cm), or multiple lacunes, or lacunes in a critical memory structure (e.g., basal ganglia), or a 
large intracerebral hemorrhage (>2 cm) or more than four microhemorrhages; a single area of 
superficial siderosis;  
 
2.2 Safety MRI 
The purpose of safety MRI is used to monitor amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) 
including vasogenic edema and sulcal effusions (ARIA-E) and microhaemorrhages and 
haemosiderin deposits (ARIA-H), as well as age-related white matter changes (ARWMC). Serial 
brain safety MRI scans should be performed regularly and at intervals of no more than every 3 
months. The MRI will be performed at the first screening and at weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 78 to 
assess ARIA that may be induced by amyloid-modifying therapy.  
The Core MRI protocol consists of 3 types of sequences that are acquired in every subject and on 
every MRI vendor system, these are: (1) T1 weighted scan, (2) T2/ fluid attenuated inversion 
recovery (FLAIR), and (3) T2*-gradient refocused echo (GRE). T2/FLAIR imaging demonstrates 
ARIA-E with increased signal while the appearance of ARIA-H can be observed on long echo time 
GRE (T2*-GRE) sequences. The T2*-GRE should have a minimum Echo Time (TE) of 20 ms or 
greater and slice thickness of 5 mm or less. Microhemorrhages typically manifest as a focal, round, 
very low intensity (relative to adjacent brain) lesion in the brain parenchyma, detected on an 
appropriately weighted (T2 or T2*) MRI sequence, such as GRE sequences. Additional 
susceptibility weighting imaging (SWI) sequence may be imparted by post processing to improve 
microhemorrhages visualization2, obtaining high quality multi-site data that is consistent over time, 
and across different MRI systems.

The Imaging Corelab will qualify (and re-qualify after upgrades) each scanner on the MRI protocol. 
Correct specific classes of image artifacts in each image acquired; imaging intensity 
non-uniformity, image warping due to gradient nonlinearity, and scaling changes over time.

18F-AV-45 PET Methods 
Early phase human PET studies indicate that florbetapir binds to amyloid vulnerable brain regions 
in AD patients, similar to reported binding with 11C Pittsburgh Compound B (11C-PiB) in AD, with 
minimal cortical binding in normal control subjects3. The high correspondence of florbetapir 
binding and Aβ amyloid plaque load has been reported in a postmortem series4.  
Prior to site initiation, a PET Imaging Manual, outlining image acquisition and reconstruction 
parameters will be created. All PET imaging time points are to be acquired, reconstructed and 
submitted as described in the Imaging Manual. An Image Corelab will collect the PET image data 
and an independent reviewer, with appropriate qualification, will make a qualitative and 
quantitative assessment of the 18F-AV-45 PET amyloid deposition for each 18F-AV-45 PET 
imaging time point. 
3.1 PET/Computed Tomography (CT) Site Qualification 
Each imaging site will be required to satisfy the requirements of PET Site Qualification by 
completing a site specific technical evaluation form, completing imaging manual training and 
approval of all PET/CT scanners to be utilized for study subjects. Phantom imaging data (i.e. 
uniformity, Hoffman, Hot Sphere) is to be submitted prior to screening (ideally prior to site 
initiation) and then quarterly throughout the remaining study period. 
3.2 PET/CT Imaging Visit 
18F-AV-45 PET imaging will be acquired at the second stage screening and at week 52 and 
week 78 to assess the changes in Aβ burden from the baseline. Study subjects will receive a single 
intravenous bolus of approximately 370 MBq (10 mCi) of florbetapir (18F), followed by a 
10-minute PET brain image, beginning approximately 50 minutes post-dose injection at each scan 
visit5. The subject should be supine with the head positioned to center the brain, including the 
cerebellum, in the PET scanner field of view. Reducing head movement with tape or other flexible 
head restraints may be employed. Image reconstruction should include attenuation correction with 
resulting transaxial pixel sizes between 2 and 3 mm. In the event of scanning failure (i.e. excessive 
motion artifact, PET/CT scanner malfunction, or subject condition), the 18F-AV-45 PET/CT exam 
should be repeated.  
3.3 PET Central Independent Review 
For the PET eligibility review, sites are required to submit screening 18F-AV-45 PET scans 
acquired during the second stage screening immediately to the Imaging Corelab to confirm the 
presence of amyloid deposition and study eligibility. An independent reviewer will confirm the 
presence of amyloid deposition on the PET scans by conducting a visually qualitative assessment 
and making a determination for Aß+ (amyloid positive) or Aß- (amyloid negative). The 
Independent Reviewer will make the determination of Aß+ (amyloid positive) or Aß- (amyloid 
negative) based on a standard uptake value ratio (SUVR) threshold cutoff value (qAb-)5. 
Semi-quantitative visual rating 18F-AV-45 PET images will be conducted for each enrolled subject 
and all available visits: the Independent Reviewer (qualified nuclear medicine physician) will rate

each PET image independently for amyloid burden based on successive levels of 18F-AV-45 
retention. 
A quantitative analysis of PET image data will be performed utilizing PET software such as 
MIMNeuro for enrolled subjects and respective visits4. The 18F-AV-45 PET images will be fitted 
to region overlays to quantify the mean cortical to cerebellum SUVR calculated from cortical 
regions, such as frontal cortex, temporal cortex, precuneus, parietal cortex, anterior cingulate, and 
posterior cingulate, relative to the whole cerebellum reference region.  
18F-AV-45 PET follow up visits will be acquired at week 52 and week 78 to assess the changes in 
Aβ burden from the baseline. Semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis will be performed as 
described above.

Volumetric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (vMRI) for the Research Study 
Results of a study of vMRI versus cognitive testing demonstrate that vMRI could become the 
principal outcome measure for clinical trials in AD due to its precision6. The vMRI scan should 
cover the entire brain (including cerebellum) and skull, superiorly and laterally. In the 
anterior/posterior plane the nose should also be included, otherwise image folding will result and 
the exam may not be usable for the study. To ensure scanner stability and scan quality throughout 
the study, each site is required to perform on-going quality control scans on an MRI phantom (such 
as Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative phantom, American College of Radiology-ACR 
phantom, etc.) using the localizer and 3D T1-weighted scan prior to site scanning their first subject 
(prior to the screening), and then semi-annually throughout the remaining study period, as well as 
after any hardware upgrades to the scanner. If a site fails to perform these phantom scans prior to 
scanning study subjects, the study coordinator and the principal investigator at each site should be 
notified. 
The most important image set is the T1-weighted 3D volumetric acquisition. Isotropic voxels are 
desired to avoid a directional bias, but not required. The target voxel size is approximately 1 mm3, 
with a maximum of 1.5 mm in any one direction. The following is an example of a typical 
magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo (MP-RAGE) sequence using a Siemens Trio 3-Tesla 
scanner for reference purpose: 128 slices, TR/TE = 2530/3.39 ms, slice thickness = 1.0 mm, flip 
angle = 7°, inversion time = 1100 ms, FOV = 256 × 256 mm, and in-plane matrix size = 256 × 256. 
Sites should acquire a 3D T1-weighted scan with scan parameters that are close to the MP-RAGE 
sequence mentioned above, compensating for differences in parameters based on their scanner 
manufacturer.  
Proper placement in the head coil is crucial because scans are acquired straight, not in an oblique 
orientation. It is mandatory to use the same position at the time of baseline and all subsequent visits. 
Position on mid-sagittal slice from tri-planar scout and make sure to get full brain coverage without 
image wrap: the skull must be fully included superiorly and laterally and the entire cerebellum 
should be included inferiorly. Every subject for the study must receive a clinical check by an on-site 
radiologist at each MRI facility. A request for a repeat MRI may be required in the event that the 
scans are found to be unacceptable due to subject motion or an incomplete MRI acquisition. Repeat 
MRI scans should be performed as quickly as possible. 
The vMRI data should be reviewed for quality at each site prior to sending the images to the Central 
Imaging Corelab, and if there are any artifacts, the scan should be repeated to get high quality 
images. Hippocampus and other brain regions (such as whole brain, ventricles) shall be assessed

using a semi-automatic, atlas based brain segmentation technique, and will be over-read by an 
independent reviewer (a qualified neuroradiologist), to capture volumetric measures. Volumetric 
data shall be corrected for differences in head size by dividing each measurement by the estimated 
total intracranial volume which is computed as the sum of the volumes of all four ventricles, the 
white matter, the gray matter, with the brain stem excluded. 
The vMRI will be conducted at the first screening, at week 48 and week 78. 
5 
Resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) for the Research Study 
By measuring functional connectivity between spatially distinct brain regions, rs-fMRI can be used 
to evaluate brain function. Default mode network consists of the bilateral parietal cortex, the 
precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, 
hippocampus, and thalamus7. Previous rs-fMRI studies have shown a disruption in functional 
connectivity between structures that are part of the default mode network at an early stage of AD 
and MCI8-10.  
The higher resolution and shorter TR greatly enhances the ability to capture the spatial and temporal 
variations of brain activity and connectivity. The following is the recommended protocol: whole 
brain volume at 2 × 2 × 2 mm resolution within a TR of 720 ms and TE of 33-34.6 ms. It also 
requires the use of a 32 channel head coil (such as Nova Medical). Eyes open; 72 slices; 20.8 cm 
(A-P) × 18 cm (R-L) FOV; Matrix 104 × 90; Flip angle 52°; scan time: ~15 min.  
The rs-fMRI data will be pre-processed, including spatial smoothing with a 6 mm Gaussian kernel 
to produce default and attention networks robustly. The default mode network will be assessed by 
correlating each voxel in individual datasets with low frequency fluctuations within seed regions 
placed in the brain. This method correlates the average BOLD time course of voxels within these 
regions with each other and with the time courses of all other voxels in the brain. 
The rs-fMRI should be conducted at the first screening, at week 48 and week 78.
