Treatment of Congenital Vascular Malformations Using Sirolimus: Improving Quality of Life (Sirolimus)

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Congenital vascular anomalies are uncommon and belong to the group of rare diseases.These vascular malformations can cause serious complications including obstruction of vital organs and their function, recurrent infection and significantly reduced quality of life of persons affected.Treatment options range from conservative to surgical extirpation or intralesional embolisation/sclerosis. Unfortunately, this is often not enough. Many patients still have complaints like severe pain and invalidation due to the lymphatic or venous malformation making a normal functional life impossible. Recent case reports mention the positive effects of refractory patients with Sirolimus. Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, is currently the only FDA-approved mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Vascular Malformations Drug: Sirolimus Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Congenital vascular anomalies are uncommon and belong to the group of rare diseases. In 1996, the International Society of the Study of Vascular Anomalies adopted a new classification, distinguishing vascular malformations from vascular tumors. This classification was revised in 2014 and newly identified genetic features were taken into account. Vascular malformations feature dysplastic malformed vessels and are a consequence of a defective development of the embryonic vascular system. Vascular malformations can involve lymphatic vessels, capillaries, veins and arteries or even combinations. These vascular malformations are present at birth and grow with the child. Treatment options range from conservative to surgical extirpation or intralesional embolisation/sclerosis. Unfortunately, this is often not enough. Many patients still have complaints like severe pain and invalidation due to the lymphatic or venous malformation making a normal functional life impossible. These vascular malformations can cause serious complications including obstruction of vital organs and their function, recurrent infection and significantly reduced quality of life of persons affected. As the natural course of the disease affects multiple body systems, the therapeutic management is challenging. To date, no other medical treatment options are available. Although standard pain medication is given according the (inter) national pain protocols, patients still suffer pain and are not able to function normally in daily life. Majority (60-70% percent of the patients) of the patients is not able to have a normal life, with a normal job and normal social activities. Children are often not able to go to school normally, cannot play outside and have pain at the site of the malformation. The vast majority of literature reporting medical therapies for vascular anomalies consists of case reports and small series and is complicated by publication bias (negative findings are often not published), inconsistent use of nomenclature, and the absence of clinical trials. Recent case reports mention the positive effects of refractory patients with Sirolimus. Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, is currently the only FDA-approved mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, indicated for prevention of kidney allograft rejection in adults and children 13 years or older, but is commonly used to manage organ rejection in younger children.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Quality of life using Sirolimus measured with survey (TAPQOL) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline Quality of life at 6 months QoL in challenge phase, and 12 months QoL in Rechallenge phase. ]
    Quality of life: Questionnaire for Preschool Children's Health-Related Quality of Life (TAPQOL). Preschool Children Quality of Life, parent-reported questionnaire clustered into 12 multi-item scales, with higher scores range 0-100) indicating better HRQOL)

  2. Quality of life using Sirolimus measured with survey (PedsQl) [ Time Frame: Change from baseline Quality of life at 6 months QoL in challenge phase, and 12 months QoL in Rechallenge phase. ]
    Quality of life: Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQl) (children) 23 items questionnaire, 0-100 scale, so that higher scores indicate better HRQOL (Health-Related Quality of Life). Psychosocial Health Summary Score, Physical Health Summary Score and Total score will be measured.

  3. Quality of life using Sirolimus measured with survey (Research and development Rand-36). [ Time Frame: hange from baseline Quality of life at 6 months QoL in challenge phase, and 12 months QoL in Rechallenge phase ]
    Quality of life: Rand-36 (adults) eight health domains; physical functioning, social functioning, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, mental health, vitality, pain and general health perception. Outcomes at each domain will be defined on a scale from a minimum score of 0 to a maximum score of 100. A higher score is equivalent to a better health.

  4. Difference in pain scores after using Sirolimus measured with VAS score [ Time Frame: Daily pain scores will be compared after 6 months in Challenge phase, after Challenge phase: starts the phase, and pain during 12 months in the Rechallenge phase ]
    Daily pain score (daily visual analogue scale (VAS-score 0-10) for children, and numeric rating scale (NRS-score 0-10) for adults)

  5. Difference in pain scores after using Sirolimus measured with NRS score [ Time Frame: Daily pain scores will be compared after 6 months in Challenge phase, after Challenge phase: starts the phase without Sirolimus treatment, and pain during 12 months in the Rechallenge phase ]
    Daily pain score (daily numeric rating scale (NRS-score 0 no pain -10 extreme pain) for adults)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Return of pain after treatment and duration of lowered pain or pain free period in days [ Time Frame: After 6 months Sirolimus intake till one year follow up. ]
    Amount of patients who have lowered pain or are pain free. Duration of lowered pain or pain free period in days.

  2. Growth/progression of vascular malformation [ Time Frame: MRI baseline compared with MRI after 6 months in challenge phase and 12 months in rechallenge phase ]
    MRI of the vascular malformation will be made at the beginning of the study and after six months of treatment with Sirolimus. An experienced radiologist will evaluate the evolution of the volume of the malformation.

  3. Rate and occurence of adverse events related to Sirolimus [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Adverse events: short and long term consequences of treatment with Sirolimus according to CTCAE version 5.0.

  4. Severity of adverse events related to Sirolimus [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Adverse events: short and long term consequences of treatment with Sirolimus according to CTCAE version 5.0.

  5. Genetic mutations in the vascular malformation that can predict outcome of treatment with Sirolimus using Single Molecule Molecular Inversion Probes (smMIPs) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Secondary material that was obtained after surgery, stored in the HECOVAN biobank can be used for analyses. Comprehensive targeted Next Generation Sequencing screen using Unique Molecular Identifiers with a technical sensitivity of 1% mutant alleles was performed for frequently mutated positions using Single Molecule Molecular Inversion Probes. We will investigate if there is a correlation with a possible found mutation and painreduction or improvement of quality of life.

  6. Pharmacogenetic profile in the vascular malformation that can predict outcome of treatment with Sirolimus [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Genotyping will be performed using Taqman assays or Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASPTM) assays in saliva swabs. Pharmacogenetic profiles (slow, intermediate, and extensive metabolizer) will be determined. Subjects compared on the outcome of sirolimus effectiveness for pain, and QoL stratified by CYP3A4.

  7. Cost-effectiveness of administration of Sirolimus: Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) estimate for each patient [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Via standardized questionnaires developed by the iMTA (institute for Medical Technology Assessment). The second part of the cost analysis consists of determining the cost prices for each volume of consumption.
