Outcome measures
Primary outcome

Background summary
Dup15q syndrome is a rare and severe neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) with a
high unmet medical need. It is caused by maternal duplication or triplication
of the q11.2-q13.1 region of chromosome 15, which contains several genes and
noncoding regions.
This multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group
study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamics of 52 weeks of
basmisanil treatment in children with Dup15q syndrome aged 2 to 14 years. The
study will test the hypothesis that negative allosteric modulation of GABAA α5R
can address excessive GABAAR function driven by the additional GABR copy
numbers, as indexed by EEG, and positively impact core neurodevelopmental
disease features in children with Dup15q syndrome.
Study objective
Part 1:
To evaluate the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with basmisanil on core
symptom domains of Dup15q syndrome (language and social skills) and daily
functioning.
Part 2:
• To evaluate the tolerability and safety of up to 3 years of treatment with
basmisanil
• To evaluate the effects of up to 3 years of treatment with basmisanil on core
symptom domains of Dup15q syndrome (language and social skills) and daily
functioning
• To evaluate the effects of up to 3 years of treatment with basmisanil on
motor function, cognition, language, social skills, clinician global impression
of severity and change, challenging behaviours, health-related quality of life
of the caregiver, caregiver global impression of severity and change
For further objectives, see protocol section 3.
Study design
See figure 1 of the protocol, page 23.
Intervention
Basmisanil is a clinically characterized, brain penetrant, and highly selective
negative allosteric modulator (NAM) of the GABAA α5R. Basmisanil has been
developed for its high selectivity and specificity for the α5 -containing
receptors versus the α1-, α2-, and α3-containing receptors, and is devoid of
the anxiogenic and pro-convulsant liabilities of non-selective GABAA NAMs and
antagonists.
The child receives one of two study treatments: Basmisanil or placebo. Study
treatment is taken three times a day (morning, afternoon and evening, at least
4 hours apart) from Day 2.
PART 1:
The doses depend on the age of the child on day 1:
- Doses: 240 mg for children 2- 5 years of age
- Doses: 320 mg for children aged 6-14 years
The doses depend on the age of the child from day 2 onwards:
- Doses: 360 mg for children 10 to 14 years of age
- Doses: 240 mg for children 6 to 9 years of age
- Doses: 120 mg for children 2 to 5 years of age.
PART 2: the same dose as for day 2 and onwards applies for part 2.
Placebo or basmisanil are packed in sticker packs. The granules should be taken
with soft food such as yogurt, apple sauce or pudding.
Furthermore please refer to the Basmisanil Investigator's Brochure.
Study burden and risks
Section 2.3 of the Protocol presents a Benefit / Risk Assessment. The test
taxes and risks are described in appendices C and D of informed consent for

Inclusion criteria
PART 1
• Participants aged 2 to 14 years inclusive at the time the caregiver signs
the
informed consent.
• Documented maternal duplication (3 copies) or triplication (4 copies) of the
chromosome 15q11.2-q13.1 region that includes the Prader-Willi/Angelman
critical region defined as [BP2-BP3] segment
• Dup15q syndrome Clinician Global Impression of Severity scale (Dup15q CGI-S)
overall severity score >= 4 (at least moderately ill)
• Stage 1 specific inclusion criterion: Participants aged 6 to 14 years with
epilepsy.
• Body weight equal to or above the third percentile for age
• Male and female participants: Some of the provisions that follow may have
limited applicability based on the age range of study participants (i.e., up to
the age of 14) and the nature of the disease under study
• Female Participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she
is not pregnant, not breastfeeding
• Male Participants: Male contraception is not required in this study because
of the minimal seminal dose transmitted through sexual intercourse
• The participant has a parent, caregiver, or legally authorized
representative (hereinafter *caregiver*) of at least 18 years of age, who is
fluent in the local language at the site, and capable and willing to provide
written informed consent for the participant according to International Council
for Harmonisation and local regulations
• The participant*s caregiver must be living with the participant and, in the
opinion of the Investigator, able and willing to reliably assess the
participant*s ongoing condition, to accompany the participant to all clinic
visits, and ensure compliance to study treatment throughout the study. The same
caregiver is able and willing to complete the caregiver assessments and is
available to the Investigational Site by telephone or email if needed
