BACKGROUND Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental condition characterised by behavioural, learning disabilities, physical and neurological symptoms. In addition, an important degree of comorbidity with autism is also present. Considered a rare disorder affecting both genders, it first becomes apparent during childhood with displays of language delay and behavioural symptoms.Main aim: To show whether the combination of 10 mg/kg/day of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and 10 mg/kg/day of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) reduces FXS symptoms among male patients ages 6 to 18 years compared to placebo treatment, as measured on the standardized rating scales at baseline, and after 12 and 24 weeks of treatment.Secondary aims: To assess the safety of the treatment. To describe behavioural and cognitive changes revealed by the Developmental Behaviour Checklist Short Form (DBC-P24) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. To describe metabolic changes revealed by blood analysis. To measure treatment impact at home and in an academic environment. METHODS/DESIGN A phase II randomized, double-blind pilot clinical trial. SCOPE male children and adolescents diagnosed with FXS, in accordance with a standardized molecular biology test, who met all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. INSTRUMENTATION clinical data, blood analysis, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, Conners parent and teacher rating scale scores and the DBC-P24 results will be obtained at the baseline (t0). Follow up examinations will take place at 12 weeks (t1) and 24 weeks (t2) of treatment. DISCUSSION A limited number of clinical trials have been carried out on children with FXS, but more are necessary as current treatment possibilities are insufficient and often provoke side effects. In the present study, we sought to overcome possible methodological problems by conducting a phase II pilot study in order to calculate the relevant statistical parameters and determine the safety of the proposed treatment. The results will provide evidence to improve hyperactivity control and reduce behavioural and learning problems using ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E). The study protocol was approved by the Regional Government Committee for Clinical Trials in Andalusia and the Spanish agency for drugs and health products. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01329770 (29 March 2011).

In otherwise successful gene therapy trials for the treatment of SCID patients and others, insertional mutagenesis has resulted in leukemia development. Besides the integration of vectors that including strong enhancers, more recently, SIN-vectors have been shown to partially retain oncogenic potential. The identification of genetic elements which would both prevent such activation effects and shield the transgene from silencing, is a main challenge. Previous attempts met with difficulties in producing the vectors and poor efficacy of the insulators (GIE). The improvement of integrating vectors safety has been investigated using new candidate synthetic GIEs. The latter have been introduced in retroviral and lentiviral vectors. Native LTRs, SIN-LTRs, and SIN-insulated constructs have been designed and compared, using two sets of internal promoter, i.e. strong and housekeeping. We could establish that a specific insulator translates at best into functional activity and boundary effect in both vector types. We could also determine that other genetic elements are key determinants in order to achieve accurate expression and viral titre, from these insulated vectors. A dramatic shift in the expression profile is observed in target cells, with a homogenous pattern including data on both cell-lines and primary HSCs from cord blood. The assessment of potential genotoxicity will be presented, based on the comparison of the integration patterns ingenuity in human target cells sampled over a three months period with both reference LTRs and SIN versus test insulated vectors, using high-throughput pyro-sequencing.
