New drug trial offers hope for rare, disfiguring growth disorder

NCT ID NCT04589650

Summary

This study is testing whether the drug alpelisib can safely reduce abnormal tissue overgrowth in people with a rare genetic condition called PROS. It involves about 200 children and adults. For the first 16 weeks, some participants receive the drug while others receive a placebo, and then all receive the active drug for up to five years to see if it shrinks lesions and improves symptoms.
