Hemorrhagic Brainstem Cavernous Malformations Treatment With Sirolimus: aSingle Centre, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Pilot Trial
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Sirolimus: Sirolimus is an mTORC1 inhibitor that has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has recently been successfully used to treat lymphatic malformations and venous/lymphatic malformations associated with the same PIK3CA GOF mutations.
Starch flake: The placebo is composed of starch material and is formulated at 0.5 grams per tablet.
Study summary
The aim of this pilot phase trial is to assess the safety and tolerability, and estimate the efficacy of sirolimus in reducing the incidence of ICH during high-risk periods for rebleeding, compared to placebo. This pilot trial will inform the design of a future definitive clinical trial on sirolimus treatment for CCM.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- The primary outcome is to explore the safety of sirolimus in the management of BSCMs. — 24 months
A serious adverse event is an SAE occurring during any study phase that fullfils one or more of the following criteria: i. Results in death, ii. Is life-threatening, iii. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, iv. Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, v. Is an important medical event that may jeopardize the patient or may require medical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above. SAE will be assessed at each follow-up visit (15 days, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months). During the trial, participants can promptly report potential SAEs to the research team via the telephone. We will establish continuous, real-time communication with patients via the telephone, facilitating round-the-clock reporting of potential endpoints or adverse reactions to the clinical trial investigators.
