This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of sodium valproate treatment on long-term memory in children with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RTS). The study also evaluates brain imaging profiles, motor skills, cognitive and developmental profiles, and histone acetylation profiles. The trial follows a double-blind, randomized design with a control group and includes cognitive assessments, motor skill tasks, MRI scans, and biological analyses.

RUBIVAL Clinical Trial Functional Imaging and Therapeutic Trial in RTS children Pr. Didier Lacombe Genetic Dept., University Hospital, Bordeaux This biomedical research received funding under the program hospitalier of clinical research in 2011 with the support of Rubinstein Taybi syndrome Fondation under the aegis of Fondation de France
SRT Clinical Trial • HDAC inhibitors : • Trichostatine A • Sodium Valproate : Marketed Anti-epileptictreatment (30 mg/kg), crosses the blood-brainbarrier
An exploratory phase 2 therapeutic trial («proof of concept ») • Primaryendpoint : To estimate the efficiencyafter one year of sodium valproatetreatment (30 mg/kg/j) on long term memory in RTS children. • SecondaryOutcomes : - Special brain imaging profile and motor skills (posturology and motor coordination in a visuo-manual pointing task) - Cognitive and developmental profile - Histone acetylation profile
Study design • Monocentric,double-blind phase 2 clinical trial, designed as a one-step Fleming with a control group. Rubival is a two-parallel group randomized trial: - Placebo group of 20 RTS patients - Group of 40 RTS patients taking sodium valproate (HDAC inhibitor) with an oral dosage of 30 mg/kg/jour
Inclusion Criteria: • Children over 6 and under 21 • RTS confirmed by a CREBBP or EP300 genes identified mutation • Sufficient cognitive capacities for neuropsychological evaluation • Free and informed consent of the parents or guardians • Children affiliated to or benefiting of the French social welfare system
Exclusion Criteria: • Contraindication to sodium valproate • Women of reproductive age without effective contraception means • Case history of sodium valproate treatment • Monotherapy treatment for epilepsy with Lamictal with a dosage superior to 5 mg/kg/j • Family history of severe hepatitis including drug • Acute or chronic hepatitis • Pregnancy

Assesments tools • IMAGING • MOTOR SKILLS • NEUROSPYCHOLOGICAL BATTERY TEST AND EVALUATION SCALE • HISTONE ACETYLATION PROFILE
NEUROSPYCHOLOGICAL BATTERY TEST AND EVALUATION SCALE • VO: mémory + langage tests, rater : speech therapist ; parents interview and cognitive overall assesments, rater Psychologist • V1 : mémory + langage tests, rater : speech therapist • V2: mémory + langage tests, rater : speech therapist ; parents interview and cognitive overall assesments, rater Psychologist
NEUROSPYCHOLOGICAL BATTERY TEST AND EVALUATION SCALEMémory tests • Subtests of battery test adapted to cognitive capacities of RTS children and for all children in this study • Subtests of neuropsychological battery test design especially for memory evaluation ( CMS (Chidren Memory Scale), RBMT( Rivermead Behavourial Memory Test) • Tests for long term memory and also for short-term memory • Tests for chidren with or without speech
Primary outcome measure Memory tests • The main outcome measure was to evaluate long term memory with two subtests : • Point location, subtest of CMS (children memory scale). The score ranges from 0 to 6. • Image recognition, subtest of RBMT (Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test). The score range from 0 to 10: one point for each recognized image. • A patient is said to be responder if after one year of treatment , his or her test result increase for one point at least one of the two tests.
NEUROSPYCHOLOGICAL BATTERY TEST AND EVALUATION SCALE Tests for primaryoutcome ( visual long term memory): • « dot location » CMS subtest • « image recognition » RBMT subtest
NEUROSPYCHOLOGICAL BATTERY TESTAND EVALUATION SCALE Tests for secondaryoutcome: No speech test - « Images location » CMS (visual short-term memory) • « faces recognition » RBMT (visual long term memory) • EVIP et morphosyntaxic ECOSSE. • LEITER evaluationscale Speech tests - «wordrecall » CMS (auditive long term memory). - Subtest of NEPSY
Imaging Whole-brain imaging: • Conventional morphological MRI T1 (macroscopic) • Difusion tenseur Imaging (DTI)(microscopic) • Fonctionnal imaging, T2
Imagingfonctionnal imaging • To look for possible links between identified anatomical anomalies and motor deficit or/and cognitive disorder highlighted during psychological and behavioural explorations in order to have a better understanding of observed disorder physiopathology and in a long term, to suggest more appropriate patient management. • To explore fonctionning of neural network at rest.
Motor skills Severaltasks : • Visuo-manualpointingtask • Mobile interception task (Mesurementswithadhesive markers and cameras) • Posturometry : to stand on a platformstilleyes open and aftereyesclosed

HISTONE ACETYLATION PROFILE Studying histone acétylation isuseful : • To be sure thanvalproatetreatment have an effect on histone acétylation 2) To look for an effect of valproate dose taken by patients on histone acétylation level 3) To look for a corrélation betweenimprovementlevel of phénotype and the histone acétylation level.

Secondary Outcome Measures •Special brain imaging profile and motor skills (posturology and motor coordination in a visio-manual pointing task) - For motor skills, the profile was based on 3 tasks : posturology, motor coordination in a visuo-manual pointing task and in mobile interception task. - For brain imaging, a variety of outcome measures will be used for example, brain volume, anisotropy fraction, diffusion coefficient for structural magnetic imaging and the signal intensity for functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging •Cognitive and developmental profile Based on the results of several battery test and evaluation scale, VABS II (Vineland Adaptative Behaviour Scale II), Leiter R, EVIP, ECOSSE, NEPSY : fluency verbal sutest, CMS : 2 subtests, RBMT : 1 subtest •Histone acetylation profile -Global acetylation level -Acetylation level of selected gene -Measurement of selected gene expression
