X Fragile Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Trials Phase III, Double Blind, Crossover to Asses the Safety and Efficacy of Vitamin C and Vitamin E in Combination Versus Placebo for Treating Cognitive and Behavior Disorder in Children With Fragile X Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to determine vitamin C and vitamin E in combination are effective in the treatment of cognitive and behavior disorder in children with fragile X syndrome.
The combination of vitamin E and vitamin C supplementation has been associated with a lower prevalence (-78%) and incidence (-64%) of Alzheimer's disease in the elderly population. It has recently been shown that dietary vitamin E supplementation reduces the production of free radicals inhibiting NADPH oxidase activity in circulating neutrophils. Another work describes the inhibition of glutamate release by activated microglia in cell cultures incubated with vitamin E, effect that can prevent excitotoxicity. The investigators propose to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment in neurodevelopmental disorders affected by fragile X syndrome (FXS) with lipophilic compounds antioxidants such as tocopherol and hydrophilic compounds antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, which regulate oxidative stress and improve learning and behavioral mouse model and humans. Our group has positive results in the use of this combination of antioxidants as a treatment for fragile X syndrome in adolescents. This disease has developed previous clinical trials with EUDRACT codes: 2009-017837-23 and 2013-004276-35. The use of the combination of vitamin C and E in the treatment of cognitive and behavioral disorder in FXS, is patented PCT-050 187 with reference number 2011070875 This combination will be administered as a single oral dose with a total dose of 10mg / kg / day for each of the vitamins. This dose is maintained within the therapeutic range of both antioxidants. ;
