This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Summary

This study compares two doses of sirolimus (low vs high) given with prednisolone to children aged 0-18 who have a rare blood vessel tumor called kaposiform hemangioendothelioma with a serious blood clotting problem (Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon). The goal is to see if the lower dose works just as well to restore platelet counts but causes fewer side effects. About 76 children will take part and be monitored with blood tests and imaging.
