Official title
Evaluation of the Efficacy of Rapamycin in the Treatment of Cervico-facial Lymphatic Malformations of Poor Prognosis
Overview
To evaluate the efficacy of Rapamycin in extended cervicofacial lymphatic malformations in pediatric patients. Rapamycin is administered oral for a 6 month period. The success rate is determined by volume reduction superior to 1/5e of the initial volume measured by MRI, impact on QOL and reduction of bleeding in case of mucosal involvement.
Interventions
- Drug rapamycin
oral administration - Device MRI
cervicofacial MRI - Biological Rapamycin dosage
Biological dosage of Rapamycin level
Primary outcome measures
- Response rate to rapamycin [Time frame: At 3 months]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Kinetic of rapamycin response [Time frame: At 3, 6 and 12 months]
- Efficacy of rapamycin on clinical symptoms [Time frame: At 3, 6 and 12 months]
- Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4) Scales [Time frame: Baseline, at 3, 6 and 12 months]
- Biological response to rapamycin [Time frame: Baseline and at 6 months]
- Rapamycin side effects [Time frame: Monthly during 1 years]
