Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of different concentration gradients of sirolimus in the treatment of Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma Drug: Sirolimus Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare aggressive vascular neoplasm that occurs predominantly in infancy or early childhood, with an incidence of approximately 0.71/100,000. Currently, sirolimus is a promising treatment modality for KHE. Most scholars consider sirolimus blood concentration of 5-15 ng/ml to be an effective therapeutic concentration.

However, long-term higher dose sirolimus treatment can cause some common complications such as oral mucositis which affects the quality of life of the patient. Finer control of the plasma concentration of sirolimus may contribute to the efficacy of treatment and reduce the incidence of complications. Therefore, we conducted this study to see if low-dose sirolimus is beneficial to the prognosis of patients.

Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)

Estimated Primary Completion Date : August 20, 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : August 20, 2023


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Low dose of sirolimus
Sirolimus The plasma trough concentration of sirolimus is maintained within the range of 5-10 ng/ml by adjusting sirolimus dose, for 1 year.
Drug: Sirolimus
Use of different doses of the same drug
Other Names:
  • Rapamycin
  • Rapamune

Active Comparator: Regular dose of sirolimus
Sirolimus The plasma trough concentration of sirolimus is maintained within the range of 10-15 ng/ml by adjusting sirolimus dose, for 1 year.
Drug: Sirolimus
Use of different doses of the same drug
Other Names:
  • Rapamycin
  • Rapamune




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The changes in KHE volume [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months ]

    Response to therapy was measured by volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analyses were performed at baseline and 6 and 12 months after treatment and were independently assessed by 2 radiologists. Changes in KHE size were classified as further growth (increase of ≥10%), no change (<10% increase and <10% decrease), partial involution (decrease of ≥10% and <75%), nearly complete involution (decrease of ≥75% and <100%), or complete involution (100%).

    Photographs of the mixed KHE were taken at months 0, 6 and 12 by a medical photographer.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The changes of platelet counts [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months ]
    Platelet counts

  2. The changes of fibrinogen levels [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months ]
    Fibrinogen levels

  3. Quality of life (QOL) in patients [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]
    Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM) 4.0 Genetic Core Infant Scales (<2 years) or Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM) 4.0 Genetic Core Scales (2-18 years) were used.

  4. The changes in the patient's musculoskeletal complication. [ Time Frame: Baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months ]
    The severity of musculoskeletal complication was scored by using a 4-point scale: 1, asymptomatic or mild symptoms, clinical or diagnostic observations only; 2, moderate symptoms, limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living; 3, severe or medically significant symptoms, disabling or limiting self-care activities of daily living; and 4, life-threatening consequences, with urgent intervention indicated.

  5. Frequency of adverse events [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Frequency of adverse events (e.g. gastrointestinal disorders, blood and lymphatic system disorders, metabolic disorders or other abnormal laboratory results, skin disorders and general disorders, etc.) collected by investigator and reported by parents. All adverse events were collected and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0). The causality of the adverse event was determined by the multidisciplinary staff and was classified as definitively not related, probably not related, possibly related, probably related, or definitively related. Any dose reductions, interruptions, or cessations enacted at the discretion of the investigators were recorded.
