Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective:

• Evaluate the safety and tolerability of low-dose sirolimus in participants with RUNX1 familial platelet disorder (RUNX1-FPD)

Secondary Objectives:

  • Evaluate increases in platelet counts during and after treatment with low-dose sirolimus
  • Evaluate changes in somatic mutation variant allele frequency (VAF)
  • Monitor the rate of somatic mutation acquisition (ie, mutation burden)
  • Assess change in platelet aggregation score
  • Measure the change from baseline in bleeding score (ISTH-BAT)
  • Evaluate change in mTORC1 downstream signaling (pS6/EBP)

Exploratory Objectives:

  • Measure rescue of elevated cytokine profiles
  • Evaluate reversal of myeloid skewing using flow cytometry
  • Determine changes in bone marrow (eg, megakaryocytic atypia and cellularity)
  • Assess changes in patient-reported outcomes measures (eg, EORTC and PRO-CTCAE)
  • Describe the pharmacokinetics of sirolimus in patients with RUNX1-FPD
  • Determine the correlation between sirolimus trough levels and each endpoint

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Experimental: Arm 1
Participants will visit the study clinic 2 times during Week 1, one (1) time during Weeks 2-4, and then 1 time every 2 weeks after that (Weeks 6, 8, 10, and so on) until Week 22 (Month 6). Then participants will have a follow-up visit at Week 24 and again at Week 52 (Month 12). Participants will take sirolimus by mouth every day, at about the same time each day. Swallow the tablet(s) whole with a full glass of water (about 1 cup). Do not crush or chew the tablet(s). Participants may take sirolimus with or without food.
