Clinical Trial Summary

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

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.

Intervention

Drug:
• Sirolimus
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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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.	Baseline, 6, and 12 months
Primary	The changes in the patient's symptoms and/or complications.		Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
Secondary	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.

Secondary	Measuring the impact of vascular anomalies on family functioning by PedsQLTM 4.0 Family Impact Module (FIM).		Baseline, 6, 12 months
Secondary	Frequency of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0		Baseline, 3, 6, 12 months
