A Study of Clinical Practice and Real-world Care of Patients Treated With mTOR, PI3K, and MEK Inhibitors for Extracranial Vascular Anomalies

August 31, 2026 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Targeted Therapies for Vascular Anomalies: A MultiCenter Real World Registry A Review of Clinical Practice and Real-world Care of Patients Treated With mTOR, PI3K, and MEK Inhibitors for Extracranial Vascular Anomalies

This study aims to describe real-world patient characteristics, treatment patterns, and adverse events associated with targeted therapies used in patients with complex vascular anomalies. The study will create an active registry for participating centers to enter data on patients with complex vascular anomalies being treated with sirolimus/everolimus (mTOR inhibitors), with/without trametinib (MEK inhibitor), or alpelisib (PIK3CA inhibitor). Tertiary care centers in the United States (US) that receive referrals for complex vascular anomaly cases and use Electronic Health Records (EHRs) will contribute patient medical chart reviews to this registry.

Study Population

Pediatric and adult patients with complex vascular anomalies who have been treated for at least three months with mTOR inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, and/or MEK inhibitors at academic and community vascular centers across the US.

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Diagnosed with a spectrum of vascular anomalies including but not limited to congenital vascular and lymphatic anomalies, vascular tumors and lymphatic malformations, and acquired vascular malformations.
  • Treated with ≥1 of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, mitogen-activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK) inhibitors and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors continuously for 3 months.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Patients diagnosed with a vascular anomaly who have not been treated with mTOR inhibitors, MEK inhibitors and PI3K inhibitors for at least 3 months.
  • Patients with other complex medical conditions; i.e. rare genetic syndromes.
  • Patients receiving many other systemic therapies making data collection not feasible.
  • Recurrent use of immunosuppressive agents, i.e. systemic steroids or targeted medical therapies for oncologic disorders, etc.
  • Patients with significant gaps in data collection.
  • Patients with concurrent enrollment in interventional trials.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.

Percentage of Patients With Clinical Parameters Relevant to Routine Care
Time Frame: Up to 10 years
Clinical parameters will include dosing and treatment duration and frequency of follow up.
Up to 10 years
