First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a daily oral drug called alpelisib in people aged 2 and older with PIK3CA-related overgrowth spectrum (PROS), a rare condition causing abnormal tissue growth. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink overgrown tissue and improve symptoms. About 104 participants will take the drug daily, and doctors will monitor changes using MRI scans.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a treatment to shrink overgrown tissue and manage symptoms in people with PROS, potentially improving daily life.
