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)
This study consists of a screening period up to 90 days, a first double-blind, placebo-controlled period of 6 months, followed by an open label period of alpelisib treatment, to reach a 24-month duration of treatment for all patients. The study will enroll 18-40 years old adults and 2-18 years old paediatric patients. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio for the first period (alpelisib or placebo). A first assessment will be performed at 6 months. Patients completing this first period will enter the open label period, and either start alpelisib if they were on placebo, continue at the same dose if responders, or increase dose if not responders (dose increase only possible for children of 5 years old and over), and if no unacceptable toxicity occurs. Patients will be followed monthly in local centres, and centrally assessed (clinical, biological, neuropsychological and functional evaluation) at baseline and every 6 months. Patients will be evaluated by volumetric MRI at baseline and at 24 months. Participant may be discontinued from treatment with alpelisib earlier due to unacceptable toxicity, confirmed disease progression, death, and/or any other reason at the discretion of the investigator or the participant.

Proportion of participants with response at end of treatment assessed by the Vineland II Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS-II)
Response defined by an improvement of at least 4 points in the Vineland II Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS-II). The VABS-II consists of a form which will be filled during an interview with an adult who is familiar with the everyday activities of the patient (usually the parents). It is organized within a three-domain structure: communication, daily living skills, and socialization. In addition, VABS-II has a motor skills domain for the youngest children (younger than 6) and an optional maladaptive behavior index \[Sparrow et al.,2016\]. The domains (communication, daily living skills, and socialization) - standard scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Adaptive levels can also be determined. A global standard score can also be computed (the Adaptive Behavior Composite standard score) and also has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
Time frame: At 24 months of treatment compared to baseline
Proportion of patients randomized with a response (yes/no) in group A and group B
Improvement of at least 4 points in the Vineland II Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS-II) at 6 months of treatment in the group A compared to the group B

Change in quality of life assessed by Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 or San Martin questionnaires
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (PedSQL): The quality of life questionnaire PedSQL 4.0 consists of a modular approach to measuring health-related quality of life in healthy children and adolescents (ages range : 2-18 years). It is brief (23 items only). It takes less than 10 minutes to complete. This scale is designed to assess 4 dimensions: physical, emotional, social and school functioning. It is valid, reliable and sensitive to change. \- The San Martin Scale is completed by parents or primary caregiver who knows well the person with ID, for at least three months. They have to rate each item on a 4-point scale (from 1= when the item is never true, to 4 = when it is always true). The questionnaire consists of 95 items, assessing eight dimensions of the quality of life
Time frame: At 6, 12, 18, 24 months of treatment, compared to baseline.
Evolution of scores at visual analogue scale
Time frame: At 6, 12, 18, 24 months of treatment, compared to baseline.
Evolution of Clinical Global Impression of severity (CGI-S)
The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis.
Time frame: At 6, 12, 18, 24 months of treatment, compared to baseline.
Evolution of Global improvement scores (CGI-I)
The Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention
Time frame: At 6, 12, 18, 24 months of treatment, compared to baseline.
Changes in neuropsychological scales adapted to age for attention, cognition, visuo-spatial disorders, fine motor skills, speech, reasoning and cognitive inhibition abilities
Appropriate neuropsychological tests will be used according to the age of patients and their level of cognitive impairment. The tests were selected according to the conclusions of a working group from the DéfiScience Network (see link), which assessed all the neuropsychological tests available for each domain and adapted to ID patients, and the lack of sensitivity to placebo effect. In case of mild to moderate ID, appropriate Wechsler scale will be used. In case of severe ID, Revised-Brunet-Lézine scale will be used. Attention, visuo-spatial, language and fine motor skills will be assessed using subtests from Wechsler scales, NEPSY II and the Children Memory Scale or WMS IV for adults.
Time frame: At 12 and 24 months of treatment compared to baseline

Changes in Motor Function Measure (MFM) scores
Motor Function Measure (MFM) is a comprehensive quantitative scale created to measure functional motor skills in a person with neuromuscular disease.
