Rapamycin formulation offers hope for rare polyp disorder
NCT ID NCT07689942
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
