About this study

Official title: Targeting Autophagy for the Treatment of TSC and LAM: a Phase I Trial of Hydroxychloroquine and Sirolimus

Specific Aim 1: To investigate whether, in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) patients, the combination of sirolimus and hydroxychloroquine is safe and well tolerated

Specific Aim 2: To investigate whether, in LAM patients, 6 months of combination therapy with sirolimus and hydroxychloroquine results in improvement of indicators of disease, and whether the gains are sustained after stopping therapy.

Read more

Specific Aim 3: To investigate the potential role of a LAM-specific peripheral blood signature to predict rates of disease progression and determine responsiveness to combination therapy.

This will be a phase I dose escalation study of the combination of sirolimus (2 mg adjusted to keep trough levels between 5-15 ng/ml) and hydroxychloroquine (200 mg or 400 mg) taken orally daily. Up to 18 adult women with LAM will be enrolled.

Read the detailed description

This will be a phase I dose escalation study of the combination of sirolimus (2 mg adjusted to keep trough levels between 5-15 ng/ml) and hydroxychloroquine (200 mg or 400 mg) taken orally daily for 6 months. The study is to be conducted at 2 sites. Up to 18 adult women with LAM will be enrolled, and each recruiting site will recruit between 8-12 subjects. The protocol will use the following eligibility criteria.

Being tested
"Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 200 mg, "Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 400 mg

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • "Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 200 mgDrug

    Also called sirolimus(rapamune), hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil)

    This will be a phase I dose escalation study of the combination of "Sirolimus" (2 mg adjusted to keep trough levels between 5-15 ng/ml) and "Hydroxychloroquine" 200 mg taken orally daily.

  • "Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 400 mgDrug

    Also called Sirolimus (Rapamune), Hydroxychloroquine (plaquenil)

    Once safety is established with the lower dose, (Sirolimus and Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg), subjects will receive Sirolimus 2 mg (adjusted to keep trough levels between 5 to 15 ng/ml) and hydroxychloroquine 200 mg twice a day.

Study groups in NCT01687179
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
"Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine"ExperimentalSubjects will take Sirolimus at an initial dose of 2mg followed by dose adjustment to keep Sirolimus trough levels between 5-15ng/ml consistent with the effective dose in the MILES trial. In addition to Sirolimus subjects will receive Hydroxychloroquine at 200 mg daily for 6 months. Once safety is established at the lower dose ("Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 200 mg), subjects enrolled henceforth will receive Sirolimus and Hydroxychloroquine 400 mg (200 mg twice a day) for 6 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety of Combination Therapy With Sirolimus and Hydroxychloroquine in LAM Patients

    The Primary endpoint of this study was safety. Safety was assessed based on the adverse events and serious adverse events that occurred in these patients when they were on this combination therapy. Percentage of adverse events in each system at a dose was calculated from the total adverse events at that dose. Subjects were closely monitored and adverse events were classified and graded according to the "Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, (CTCAE) Version 4.0".

    Measured: 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing "Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 200 mg and "Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 400 mg in people with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital 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 8 inclusion and 28 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 11 Oct 2018. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety of Combination Therapy With Sirolimus and Hydroxychloroquine in LAM Patients (time frame: 48 weeks). 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 NCT01687179, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 11 Oct 2018.
