About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Sirolimus in the Treatment of the Complicated Vascular Anomalies

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Sirolimus in complicated vascular anomalies in Chinese children

Read the detailed description

Vascular anomalies are composed of vascular tumors and vascular malformations. The prognosis of vascular anomalies is significantly variable. Most of them had a benign course. However, complicated vascular anomalies can lead to disfigurement, organ disfunction and life-threatening with significant morbidity and mortality. Traditional treatments, including steroids, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and surgery, had limited response to complicated vascular anomalies. In the past few years, the inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway-sirolimus has emerged as a treatment for severe vascular anomalies. Besides, preclinical studies also showed that the Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mTOR pathway play an important role in the development of vascular tumors and vascular malformations. However, the exact efficacious rate and complications of sirolimus are still unknow in china because of the lack of large scale of prospective studies. Therefore, it's important to perform this prospective study to determine the safety and efficacy of sirolimus in the treatment of Chinese children with complicated vascular anomalies, and this study will also make contributions to the diagnoses and treatments of vascular anomalies.

What participants receive

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

  • SirolimusDrug

    Also called Rapamycin

    Sirolimus was initiated at a dosage of 0.8 mg/m2 administered twice daily. Subsequently, the sirolimus dosage was adjusted monthly to achieve trough levels between 10 and 15 ng/mL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Volumetric changes in complicated vascular anomalies to sirolimus

    Response to sirolimus treatment was measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses, which were performed at baseline and 6 and 12 months after treatment and were independently assessed by 2 radiologists. Changes in size of vascular anomalies were classified as further growth (increase of ≥10%), no change (<10% increase and <10% decrease), partial involution (decrease of ≥10% and <75%), nearly complete involution (decrease of ≥75% and <100%), or complete involution (100%).

    Photographs of the complicated vascular anomalies were taken at months 0, 3, 6 and 12 by a medical photographer.

    Complete/nearly complete resolution of the vascular anomalies at month 12 compared to baseline based on the intra-patient blinded centralized independent qualitative assessments of month 12 MRI.

    Measured: Baseline, 6, and 12 months

  2. The changes in the patient's symptoms and/or complications.

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Quality of Life in patients by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory TM (PedsQLTM) 4.0 Generic Core Scales.

    The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales encompass: 1) Physical Functioning (8 items), 2) Emotional Functioning (5 items), 3) Social Functioning (5 items), and 4) School Functioning (5 items), and were developed through focus groups and cognitive interviews. The PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales are comprised of parallel child self-report (ages 5-18) and parent proxy-report formats (ages 0-18). A 5-point response scale is utilized across child self-report for ages 8 to 18 and parent proxy-report (0=never a problem; 1=almost never a problem; 2=sometimes a problem; 3=often a problem; 4=almost always a problem). For patients between ages 5-7, the response scale is simplified to a 3-point scale (0=not at all a problem; 2=sometimes a problem; 4=a lot of a problem. Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale (0=100, 1=75, 2 =50, 3=25, 4=0). Scale Scores are computed as the sum of the items divided by the number of items answered.

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12 months

  2. Measuring the impact of vascular anomalies on family functioning by PedsQLTM 4.0 Family Impact Module (FIM).

    Measured: Baseline, 6, 12 months

  3. Frequency of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months

  4. Changes in plasma levels fibrinogen and/ or D-dimers

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sirolimus in people with Vascular Anomaly, run by West China Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 19 inclusion and 9 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 15 Mar 2022. 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 China. 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.

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?

Volumetric changes in complicated vascular anomalies to sirolimus (time frame: Baseline, 6, and 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03583307, 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?
