Trial Description

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as sirolimus, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sirolimus works in treating patients with angiomyolipoma of the kidney.

Further Study Information

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the efficacy of sirolimus, in terms of objective response rate, in patients with angiomyolipoma of the kidney secondary to tuberous sclerosis (TSC) or lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

  • Determine changes in other TSC lesions (e.g., tubers, subependymal giant cell astrocytomas, facial angiofibromas, or kidney cysts) in patients with TSC treated with this drug.
  • Determine changes in pulmonary disease in patients with LAM treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral sirolimus once daily for 12 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 6 months and 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 13-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 3-30 months.
