Drug trial offers hope for kids with painful, disfiguring birthmarks
NCT ID NCT02509468
Summary
This study tested whether the drug sirolimus could shrink painful, complicated vascular malformations (abnormal tangles of blood or lymph vessels) in children. 63 participants aged 6-18 were followed for a year, first without treatment and then while taking sirolimus, to compare changes in the size of their malformation. The goal was to see if the drug could control the growth of these lesions and ease related symptoms like pain and bleeding.
