Summary
This study looks at how safe and effective the drug everolimus is for Taiwanese adults with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) who have kidney tumors called angiomyolipomas. Four participants will take the drug and be monitored for side effects and tumor shrinkage. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
