About this study

Official title: Rapamycin Therapy of Angiomyolipomas in Patients With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Sporadic Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

The purpose of this study was to determine if rapamycin reduced angiomyolipomata volume in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex or lam.

Read the detailed description

The study design was an open label, phase I/II trial of sirolimus for one year followed by one year off therapy.Patients were seen at baseline,at two weeks to four weeks, and at 2,4,6,9,12,18 and 24 months. Angiomyolipomata imaging was performed at all but the two to four week visit. Complete pulmonary function tests and six-minute walk were obtained at baseline,6 or 9 month, 12 and 24 month visits, while simple spirometry only was performed at all other visits.

Being tested
Rapamycin, sirolimus

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rapamycin, sirolimus in people with Tuberous Sclerosis and Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Volume of Angiomyolipomata. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00457808, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Apr 2007.
