Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Efficacy Study of Sirolimus in Complicated Vascular Anomalies (NCT NCT00975819)

NCT ID: NCT00975819

Last Updated: 2026-01-06

Results Overview

Measures were determined by 3 distinct methods: radiologic evaluation, functional impairment score (clinical measurement of disease), and health-related quality of life. (HRQOL). The most common radiologic evaluation was MRI but other studies including CT and X-rays were included. HRQOL was assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (3-18 years) ad infant Scales (\< or = to 2 years) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness System (\> 18 years). Third method was the functional impairment score which was adopted from the measure of organ function that have been validated in the quantification of adverse even results from medical therapies and procedures. Patients needed to have complete response, normalization in quality of life and functional impairment score to have a complete response. In order to have a partial response they needed to have improvement in all three areas of assessment and not worsening of any others.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Sixty-one patients were enrolled; 57 patients were evaluable for efficacy at the end of course 6.

Measures were determined by 3 distinct methods: radiologic evaluation, functional impairment score (clinical measurement of disease), and health-related quality of life. (HRQOL). The most common radiologic evaluation was MRI but other studies including CT and X-rays were included. HRQOL was assessed using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 (3-18 years) ad infant Scales (\< or = to 2 years) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness System (\> 18 years).
