Filter by:Bleomycin has nowadays been more and more widely used in the sclerotherapy of LMs, which has been proven to be primarily dose dependent. The investigators aim to compare the efficacy and safety of different concentrations of Bleomycin in the sclerotherapy of LMs for pediatric patients.
The goal of this prospective randomized controlled study is to explore the role of indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging in management of cystic lymphatic malformation.. To clarify the application value of indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging in both diagnosis and treatment of cystic lymphatic malformation (cLM) in children, is helpful for exploring pathogenesis of cLM, and providing a clearer scientific basis for subsequent surgical intervention. It also provides alternative for the future diagnosis and treatment of cLM. Participants will receive indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging before operation, while the patients in control group will receive traditional operation. Researchers will compare difference in curative effect between two groups.
Lympho-vascular malformations result from errors in embryologic vasculogenesis involving capillaries, veins, arteries, lymphatics, or a combination of these. Infantile haemangiomas & Vascular malformations like : Capillary malformations & Venous malformations : they increase in size and never regress on their own. & They are generally present at birth, they enlarge in response to infection, hormonal changes or trauma . Lymphatic malformations can be classified into macrocystic (cyst diameter >1cm), microcystic (cyst diameter <1 cm), or mixed , in macrocystic lymphatic malformations, surgery and sclerotherapy are effective . Surgery of microcystic lymphatic malformations remains challenging due to their infiltrative nature & Sclerotherapy is often impossible. As especially large microcystic and mixed malformations are still a therapeutic challenge, pharmaceutical treatment as sirolimus is used in last years as main line of treatment with great efficacy.
The main purpose of this study in participants with PIK3CA-mutated lymphatic malformations (LyM) is to assess the change in radiological response and symptom severity upon treatment with alpelisib as compared to placebo.
This is a Phase 2a/b single arm open label study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and efficacy of intracystic injection of TARA-002 in participants 6 months to less than 18 years of age for the treatment of macrocystic and mixed cystic lymphatic malformations. The Phase 2a safety lead-in, age de-escalation study is designed to establish the safety of TARA-002 in older participants 6 years to less than 18 years before proceeding to younger participants 2 years to less than 6 years, then 6 months to less than 2 years. The Phase 2b is an expansion study in which enrollment of participants will be initiated after safety has been established in each cohort during the Phase 2a safety lead-in study. Each participant will receive up to 4 injections of TARA-002 spaced approximately 6 weeks apart.
Background: The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph through the body. Problems in the lymphatic system can cause pain, fluid buildup, and issues with immunity. There is much researchers do not understand about lymphatic anomalies. In this natural history study, they will collect data from a lot of people over a long time. Objective: To better understand why lymphatic anomalies develop. The goal is to improve future treatments. Eligibility: People aged 0 days and older with a suspected or confirmed lymphatic anomaly. Their unaffected parents or siblings aged 7 years or older are also needed. Design: Participants may remain in the study indefinitely. Affected participants may be evaluated every 10 months to 2 years. Some participants will be seen over telemedicine. Others will be seen at the NIH Clinical Center for 2-5 days. All participants will have a physical exam. They may provide specimens including blood, saliva, hair follicles, stool, skin, and other tissues. Samples may be used for genetic testing. Participants may undergo other tests depending on their medical conditions. The NIH Clinical Center visit may include: Heart tests include placing stickers on the chest to measure electrical activity and using sound waves to capture pictures of the heart. A lung test measures the muscle strength in the chest. Participants will blow into a tube. Photographs may be taken of participants faces and other features. Imaging scans will take pictures of the inside of the body. One scan will measure bone density. One type of scan tracks how lymph fluid moves through the body. Participants will be under anesthesia, and they will be injected with a dye.
Overgrowth syndromes are rare genetic disorders defined by tissue hypertrophy that can be either localized or generalized, affecting both latitudinal and longitudinal growth. The genes involved in overgrowth syndromes are not well characterized but mostly concern the PIK3CA/AKT/mTOR pathway, a major actor of cell growth and proliferation. The mutations are not inherited but occurs during embryogenesis leading to somatic mosaicism. Owing to the variability of the clinical presentation, their exact prevalence is yet unknown. In order to answer this question, the investigators team create here the first French national registry on overgrowth syndromes.
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of PTX-022 (sirolimus) Topical Gel 3.9% w/w in the treatment of Microcystic Lymphatic Malformations. The participant will receive 3 months of PTX-022 treatment by the end of the study.
In this study, we investigate the safety and efficacy of topical sirolimus in the treatment of superficial complicated vascular anomolies.
In current practice, options for venous and lymphatic malformations remain limited. Recently an oral medication, sirolimus, has been found to benefit patients when taken once or twice a day for several months. Unfortunately there are many side effects associated with this medication, some of which can be severe including, neutropenia, oral ulcerations, and lab abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed sirolimus will be effective for the treatment of venous and lymphatic malformations. Additionally, the study will evaluate patient satisfaction and identify adverse effects. Participants will be on the medication for 6 months with an option to continue after this time period.
