A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that meets one or more of the following criteria, regardless of suspected causal relationship to the study intervention: (1) results in death; (2) is life-threatening; (3) requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; (4) results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or substantially disrupts normal life functions; or (5) constitutes an important medical event that, based on appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the patient's health or require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one or more of the outcomes listed in (1)-(4). SAEs will be actively monitored and systematically assessed at all scheduled follow-up visits (at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-baseline). In addition, participants are instructed to report any suspected SAE immediately to the study team via a dedicated 24/7 telephone hotline. To ensure timely detection and documentation.

The tolerability of sirolimus in VDB patients.
Tijdsspanne: 1, 3, 6, and 12 months

Based on prior clinical experience and sirolimus trial reports, adverse events (AEs) include oral ulcers, upper respiratory tract infections, headaches, respiratory diseases, stomatitis, seizures, and fever. Other commonly reported AEs also encompass nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, diarrhea, and mild allergic reactions such as rash or pruritus. In addition, mild infections, mild gastrointestinal disturbances, and fluctuations in blood pressure or heart rate have been observed.

Unanticipated Adverse Device Effect (UADE): Any serious adverse effect on health or safety, life-threatening event, or death caused by or associated with sirolimus, where the nature, severity, or incidence of such effect, event, or death was not previously identified in the investigational plan; or any other unanticipated serious problem related to sirolimus that concerns the rights, safety, or welfare of subjects.
