Summary

This expanded access program provides eRapa, an oral encapsulated form of rapamycin, to people with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who have no good treatment options and cannot join a clinical trial. FAP causes hundreds of polyps in the colon and rectum, raising cancer risk. The goal is to offer potential benefit under careful monitoring for safety and tolerability.

Active substance
eRapa (encapsulated rapamycin)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help control polyp growth in people with familial adenomatous polyposis, potentially delaying or avoiding surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so evidence is limited. Rapamycin can cause side effects like mouth sores, infections, and metabolic changes.
