Overview

The objective of this study is to explore the effects of Sirolimus on the underlying molecular alterations of cerebral aneurysms.

Interventions

  • Procedure Microsurgical clipping
    Standard of care microsurgical clipping of an unruptured cerebral artery aneurysm.
  • Procedure Endovascular treatment
    Standard of care endovascular treatment of an unruptured cerebral artery aneurysm.
  • Drug Sirolimus
    Daily oral Sirolimus 2 mg tablets, adjusted as necessary per treating physician.

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in gene expression from control arteries. [Time frame: Day 18]
  • Change in gene expression between blood samples. [Time frame: Day 18]
  • Change in gene expression. [Time frame: Day 18]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Undergoing one of the following procedures at Jackson Memorial Hospital:
  • Clipping of an unruptured cerebral artery aneurysm
  • Endovascular treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms (including those receiving coiling)
  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • Willing and able to give informed consent

Exclusion criteria

1\) Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded:

  • Dissecting, traumatic, or mycotic brain aneurysm.
  • Women who are pregnant, or have a positive urine or blood (β-hCG) pregnancy test.
  • Women who are breastfeeding.
  • Any clinically significant psychiatric or psychological disease, which would preclude the patient from completing the protocol.
  • Patients with known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection or other known immunodeficiency.
  • Patient with renal or liver failure
  • Interstitial pneumonitis
  • History of lymphoma
  • History of skin cancer
  • Hypersensitivity to sirolimus
  • Severe or unstable concomitant condition disease or chronic condition, which in the opinion of the investigator could affect assessment of the safety or efficacy of study intervention.

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
