Brief Summary

This study is a two periods multi-center Phase II trial, with a 6 months double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by open label period, to assess the efficacy and safety of alpelisib (BYL719) in pediatric and adult patients with Megalencephaly-CApillary malformation Polymicrogyria syndrome (MCAP)

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Signed informed consent and assent (when applicable) from the patient, parent, or guardian must be obtained prior to any study related screening procedures are performed. 2. Male or female patients age ≥2 years and ≤40 years at the time of informed consent 3. Patients with diagnosis of MCAP\* with neurodevelopmental disorder presentation (from specific learning disorder to severe intellectual disability) 4. Documented evidence of a postzygotic or constitutional mutation(s) in the PIK3CA gene performed in local laboratories using a Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based validated test at the time of informed consent. 5. Adequate bone marrow and organ function (assessed during the screening visit): 1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L 2. Platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L 3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (transfusions are allowed) 4. Calcium (corrected for serum albumin) and magnesium within normal limits or ≤Grade 1 according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 if judged clinically not significant by the investigator 5. Potassium within normal limits. 6. INR ≤1.5 7. Creatinine Clearance ≥ 30 mL/min using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease 8. (MDRD) (≥18 years old) or creatinine-based Bedside Schwartz (˂18 years old) Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equation 9. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN. 10. Total bilirubin\< ULN except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome who may only be included if the total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 × ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN 11. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≤ 140 mg/dL (7.7 mmol/L) and Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤ 6.5% (both criteria have to be met) 12. Fasting Serum lipase ≤ ULN 6. Able to swallow study drug according to age: tablets, or as drinkable suspension, or granules (under development) 7. For women of child-bearing potential only: negative pregnancy test at screening visit 8. Male patients with sexual partners who are pregnant, possibly pregnant or who could become pregnant should use condoms during sexual intercourse for the duration of the study and for one week following discontinuation of alpelisib. 7\. For exploratory study only : signed informed optional consent for lumbar puncture Exclusion Criteria: Participants meeting any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this study: 1. Patient previously treated with alpelisib 2. Known impairment of GI function due to concomitant disease that may significantly alter the absorption of the study drug (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection) at time of informed consent. 3. Participant with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (Type I or II) at time of informed consent. 4. History of hypersensitivity to any drugs or metabolites of PI3K inhibitor or any of the excipients of alpelisib at time of informed consent. 5. Participant with other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions that would, in the treating Physician's judgment, contraindicate administration of alpelisib (e.g., active and/or uncontrolled severe infection, chronic active hepatitis, hepatic impairment Child Pugh score C, immuno-compromised, etc.) at time of informed consent. 6. Female participants of childbearing potential and male participants who do not agree at time of informed consent to abstinence or, if sexually active, unwilling to use a condom and/or a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of the study and for one week following discontinuation of alpelisib. Highly effective contraception methods is one of the following: 1. Total abstinence: when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception 2. Female sterilization: have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy), total hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation at least six weeks before taking alpelisib. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the female has been confirmed by follow-up hormone level assessment 3. Male sterilization at least 6 months prior to screening. The vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for that study participant 4. Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate \<1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormone contraception If local regulations deviate from the contraception methods listed above to prevent pregnancy, local regulations apply and will be described in the ICF. 7. Treatment by any mTOR or PI3K-AKT signaling pathway inhibitor within 1 month before inclusion 8. History of prior and or ongoing malignancy (within 5 years before informed consent except radically treated Carcinoma in situ of radically treated basal-cell carcinoma of skin or thyroid gland well differentiated microcarcinoma or Stage 1 Wilms' tumor of a histology other than anaplastic), or ongoing investigations or treatment for malignancy at time of informed consent. 9. Treatment with strong inducers of CYP3A4 and inhibitors of Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) that cannot be stopped at least the week prior to the screening 10. Debulking or other major surgery performed within 3 months at time of informed consent 11. Known history of Steven Johnson's syndrome, erythema multiform or toxic epidermal necrolysis at time of informed consent. 12. For participants ≥ 6 years of age: Participants with documented pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease at the time of informed consent and with impaired lung function (e.g., FEV1 (Forced expiratory volume) or DLCO (Diffusing Capacity of the Lung for Carbon Monoxide) ≤ 70% of predicted) that is not related to PROS. 13. For participants between 2 to 5 years of age: Participants with documented or suspicious pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease based on MRI images at time of informed consent. 14. History of acute pancreatitis within 1 year before informed consent or past medical history of chronic pancreatitis at time of informed consent. 15. Clinically significant heart disease at time of informed consent, including: 1. History of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV) 2. Clinically significant uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias 3. Long QT syndrome, family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QTsyndrome 4. Corrected QT (QTcF) at screening: \>470 ms for ≥18 years old / \>450 ms for \<18 years old 5. Creatinine clearance \< 70ml/min/1.73 m² 16. Patient currently, or in the 3 months before inclusion, enrolled in another interventional trial. 17. Person not affiliated to a national health insurance scheme 18.
