Baseline Characteristics
The least impaired patients (11 or fewer errors, representing a ceiling effect) and patients with 54 or more errors (very poor performance suggesting not understanding the task) were removed from the analysis. Also removed were the 3 patients with no detectable drug in plasma, 2 patients with ≥25% non-compliance by pill counts, one patient with no baseline test and one who did not understand instructions per rater notes.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Screening to Day 28Population: As noted in the Participant Flow, one subject in the 50 mg arm did not complete the study. One additional subject in the 50 mg arm was missing a Day 28 CSF sample. This primary analysis includes one 50 mg subject who showed no detectable simufilam in plasma at return visits (their exclusion was not prespecified in the Statistical Analysis Plan).

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Screening to Day 28Population: As noted in the Participant Flow, one subject in the 50 mg arm did not complete the study. One additional subject in the 50 mg arm was missing a Day 28 CSF sample. This primary analysis includes one 50 mg subject who showed no detectable simufilam in plasma at return visits (their exclusion was not prespecified in the Statistical Analysis Plan).

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Day 1 to Day 28Population: The least impaired patients (11 or fewer errors, representing a ceiling effect) and patients with 54 or more errors (very poor performance suggesting not understanding the task) were removed from the analysis. Also removed were the 3 patients with no detectable drug in plasma, 2 patients with ≥25% non-compliance by pill counts, one patient with no baseline test and one who did not understand instructions per rater notes.
Cognitive test assessing episodic memory. Boxes are displayed on the screen and are "opened" in a randomized order. One or more of them contains a pattern. The patterns are then displayed in the middle of the screen, one at a time and the participant must select the box in which the pattern was originally located. If the participant makes an error, the boxes are opened in sequence again to remind the participant of the locations of the patterns. The number of boxes increases progressively to a total of 8.

Timeframe: Day 1 to Day 28Population: Removed from analysis were the 3 patients with no detectable drug in plasma, 2 patients with ≥25% non-compliance by pill counts, one patient with no baseline test and one who did not understand instructions per rater notes.
Cognitive assessment of spatial working memory: A number of colored squares (boxes) are shown on the screen. By selecting the boxes and using a process of elimination, the subject should find one yellow 'token' in each of a number of boxes and use them to fill up an empty column on the right-hand side of the screen. The number of boxes is gradually increased to a total of 8 for the subjects to search. The colors and positions of the boxes are changed from trial to trial to discourage stereotyped search strategies.

Timeframe: Day 1 to Day 28Population: Three subjects who had no detectable simufilam in plasma at any return visit were removed from analyses (two in the 100 mg arm and one in the 50 mg arm). As noted in the Participant Flow, one subject in the 50 mg arm did not complete the study. Two additional subjects in the 50 mg arm were missing Day 1 blood samples.
FLNA linkages to these two receptors were assessed by densitometric quantitation of immunoblot bands of each receptor (detected by a specific antibody) in anti-FLNA precipitates. The measure is noted as a ratio to total FLNA.
