Plain-language summary
This Phase 2 study examines the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of arbaclofen in pediatric subjects with 16p11.2 deletion. Male or female subjects aged 5 to 17 years of age will be randomized to receive either placebo or arbaclofen in a double-blind study design. If the subject completes all study requirements through Visit 4 (Close-out Visit), he/she may be eligible for an optional open-label study with arbaclofen.

Inclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 deletion.
. Male or female subjects, 5 through 17 years of age, at Screening.
. Neurodevelopmental disability requiring current educational or other therapeutic support.
. Any educational, behavioral, other therapeutic, and/or dietary interventions must have been continuous during the 2 months prior to Screening (with the exception of the anti-epileptic drug (AED) 6-month requirement in Inclusion Criterion #5). Subjects and their parent/caregiver/legally authorized representative (LAR) may not electively initiate new, or modify ongoing, interventions for the duration of the study. Typical school vacations are not considered modifications of stable programming.
. Subjects with a history of seizure disorder must have been seizure-free and on a stable antiepileptic therapy regimen for 6 months OR must have been seizure-free for the 3 years prior to Screening if not currently receiving antiepileptics. If currently receiving treatment with antiepileptics that are typically monitored by serum concentration, serum concentrations of the antiepileptic drugs must be tested and confirmed to be within the therapeutic range at Screening.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring

Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation, 3rd edition (GFTA-3), Sounds-in-Words
. All medication regimens must be stable for 30 days prior to Screening.
. Prior to the conduct of any study-specific procedures, the subject must provide assent to participate in the study (if developmentally appropriate), and the parent/caregiver/LAR must provide written informed consent. If the caregiver attending the clinic visits is not the parent or LAR, written consent must also be obtained from the parent or LAR for the subject's participation in the study.
. The subject's parent/caregiver/LAR must be able to speak and understand English sufficiently to understand the nature of the study and to allow for the completion of all study assessments. The parent/caregiver/LAR should be capable of providing reliable information about the subject's condition, agree to oversee the administration of the study drug, and accompany the subject to all clinic visits. The same parent/caregiver/LAR should accompany the subject to each visit.
Exclusion criteria
. Subjects with additional known genetic disorder besides 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 deletion.
. Subjects receiving remote or hybrid schooling at Screening.
. Subjects with an additional neurologic or psychiatric condition that might confound performance on assessments measures, e.g., significant impairment in hearing or vision, severe motor impairment (e.g., non-ambulatory) from cerebral palsy, birth injury, or other injury, or cleft lip or palate (including submucous cleft).
. Subjects with any seizures within the previous 6 months; subjects who are not currently receiving antiepileptics AND have had one or more seizures during the 3 years prior to Screening; and subjects who are shown to have non-therapeutic AED levels at Screening.
. Subjects with any medical or psychiatric condition that might interfere with the conduct of the study, confound interpretation of the study results, or endanger their own well-being. This includes, but is not limited to substance use disorders, impairment of renal function, evidence or history of malignancy or any significant hematological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, or gastrointestinal disease.
. Subjects who plan to initiate or change pharmacologic or non-pharmacologic interventions during the course of the study.
. Subjects who are currently treated or have been treated with racemic baclofen in the last 30 days.
. Subjects currently treated with antipsychotic medication(s).
