About this trial
Recent studies have demonstrated that growth of vascular malformations can be driven by genetic variants in one of 2 signalling pathways. Targeted drugs specific to these pathways have been developed and shown to be effective in treating cancer. This study will describe the effectiveness of (i) 48 weeks of alpelisib therapy for participants with slow-flow vascular malformations and a gene mutation in one of these signalling pathways (module 1) and (ii) 48 weeks of mirdametinib therapy for participants with fast-flow vascular malformations and a gene mutations in the other signalling pathway (module 2).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adult or paediatric patient, 2 years of age or over
Patient has a clinical diagnosis of a slow-flow vascular malformation
Patient has received standard therapy for the vascular malformation or in which, in the opinion of the investigator, standard therapy is not appropriate
A documented genetic alteration in the PI3K signalling pathway identified by genetic sequencing prior to enrolment in this study
Disqualifiers
History of hypersensitivity to any drugs or metabolites of PI3K inhibitors or any of the excipients of alpelisib
Severe infection requiring intravenous antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to enrolment
Patient has had a major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to enrolment
Prior use of an alpha-specific PI3K inhibitor
