简要总结

This is a single centre, two-arm, individually randomised, Phase II, double- blind, placebo-controlled trial of RAD001 (Everolimus) versus placebo in the treatment of neurocognitive problems in patients with tuberous sclerosis (TSC). The IMP is a licensed medicine in this patient group but for a different target of effect. The current trial is a proof of principle study for memory and executive function outcomes.

Following an eligibility visit, patients will be scheduled for baseline visit and randomization. They will then be followed up for 6 months undergoing both safety and neurocognitive assessments whilst taking either the placebo or study drug.

48 patients aged 16 to 60 years with tuberous sclerosis (TSC) who have IQ > 60 and a significant deficit in one or more primary outcome measures will be randomly allocated in a ratio of 2:1 to either RAD001 (Everolimus) or Placebo.

入选标准

  • Definite TSC by current clinical criteria (28);
  • Male or female aged 16 to 60 yrs;
  • IQ over 60 by Wechsler Abbreviated Scales of Intelligence (WASI) and able to participate in direct neuropsychological tests;
  • A score falling on, or below, the 5th percentile (approximately equivalent to -1.5 SD) in one or more of the primary outcome measures:
  • Calculated GFR > 60ml/min/1.73m2 except in case of renal impairment associated with TSC complicating kidneys, where a calculated GFR should be ≥30ml/min/1.73m2;
  • INR 1.5 or less (anticoagulation permitted if target INR on stable dose of warfarin or LMW heparin for > 2 weeks at time of randomisation) ;
  • Adequate liver function as shown by: serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN, ALT and AST less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN;
  • If sexually active - negative pregnancy test in females at the time of informed consent, contraception for males and pre-menopausal females on study);
  • Seizure free or stable seizures as defined by no change in type of AEDs in 6 months prior to full recruitment and randomization at baseline. Doses of drugs may have been changed in the 6 months prior to recruitment;
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen negative, Hepatitis C antibody negative.
  • All patients must be able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study, understand and sign the written informed consent;
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must be prepared to use two acceptable methods of contraception, (e.g., intra-uterine device plus condom, spermicidal gel plus condom, diaphragm plus condom, etc.), from the time of screening.

  • Urine protein/creatinine >0.02g/mmol except in case of renal impairment associated with TSC complication of kidneys, where urine protein/creatinine ratio should be >0.1g/mmol for exclusion;
  • Serum creatinine > 1.5 x ULN except in case of renal impairment associated with TSC complication of kidneys, where serum creatinine should be >300µmol/L for exclusion;
  • Uncontrolled hyperlipidaemia (fasting cholesterol > 300mg/dL or >7.75 mmol/L and fasting triglycerides >2.5 x ULN, or diabetes with fasting serum glucose > 1.5 x ULN;
  • History of myocardial infarction, angina or stroke related to atherosclerosis, or any other significant cardiac disease, HIV seropositivity, organ transplant, malignancy other than squamous or basal cell skin cancer;
