Official title
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Three Sirolimus Discontinuation Strategies in Patients With Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma
Overview
Sirolimus has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE); however, a high rate of rebound growth following discontinuation has been reported, highlighting the clinical importance of establishing an appropriate withdrawal regimen.
Interventions
- Drug Sirolimus
Comparison of different sirolimus discontinuation strategies.
Primary outcome measures
- Rebound growth rate of KHE [Time frame: 12 months]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Incidence of disease sequelae [Time frame: 12 months]
- Incidence of adverse events throughout the study. [Time frame: 12 months]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- KHE patients who have received sirolimus treatment and met the criteria for drug discontinuation.
- With evaluable clinical or imaging parameters to monitor disease activity or recurrence.
- Patients or their guardians are able to understand the study and provide written informed consent.
- Hematologic and hepatic/renal function meet the safety criteria for drug administration.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who are unable to comply with the follow-up or treatment schedule, potentially affecting the integrity of study data.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
