Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access This study
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

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.
