RAD001: RAD001 is formulated as tablets of 5.0 mg strength, blister-packed under aluminum foil in units of 10 tablets and dosed on a regular basis. RAD001 tablets should be opened only at the time of administration as drug is both hygroscopic and light-sensitive. Patients will be instructed to take 4.5 mg/m2 of RAD001 orally with a glass of water at regular intervals at the same time (delete: each day) in the morning after a light, nonfat breakfast.
Placebo
Matching placebo will be provided as a matching tablet and will also be blister packed under aluminum foil in units of 10. Placebo: Matching placebo will be provided as a matching tablet and will also be blister packed under aluminum foil in units of 10. Matching placebo tablets should be opened only at the time of administration as drug is both hygroscopic and light-sensitive.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Scores are reported for baseline and 6 month timepoints on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) subscales below. For all subscales, scores are reported as the mean difference between the study subjects and a normative population matched for age, gender and IQ (e.g., subject subscale score - mean of matched normative group = reported score). Higher scores represent a better outcome. 1. Spatial Span (SSP) (spatial memory span) Range: -3 to 3 2. Spatial Working Memory (working memory) Range: -3 to 3 3. Pattern Recognition Memory (PRM) (visual pattern recognition memory) Range: -3 to 3 4. Spatial Recognition Memory (SRM) (spatial recognition memory) Range: -4 to 4 5. Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) (sustained attention) Range: -4 to 4 6. Stockings of Cambridge (SOC) (spatial planning) Range: -4 to 4 7. Intra-Extra Dimensional Set Shift (IDED) (cognitive flexibility) Range: -5 to 5 8. Reaction Time (processing speed) Range: -5 to 5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Scores for Baseline and 6 Month Timepoints are reported for the following secondary outcome measures: 1. Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) (Measure of executive functions) T-scores are reported, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. The range is 30-100 with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. 2. Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC) (Measure of emotional and behavioral problems) T-scores are reported (mean of 50, SD of 10). The range is 30-100 with higher scores indicating a worse outcome. Conversely, on the Adaptive Skills subscale of the BASC, lower scores indicate a poorer outcome. 3. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Includes questions related to emotional symptoms, conduct problems, inattention/hyperactivity, peer relationship problems and prosocial behavior. Responses to these items are summed to comprise a Total Difficulties Score, which ranges from 0-40, with lower scores indicating a better outcome
