About this trial

The aim of this pilot phase trial is to assess the safety and tolerability, and estimate the efficacy of sirolimus in reducing the incidence of ICH during high-risk periods for rebleeding, compared to placebo. This pilot trial will inform the design of a future definitive clinical trial on sirolimus treatment for CCM.
