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.

- •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) ;

- •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.
