Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Sirolimus, also known as rapamycin, is an immunosuppressant mainly used to prevent rejection after organ transplantation. In recent years, studies have shown that sirolimus has certain potential in the treatment of lymphatic malformations.
However, long-term high-dose sirolimus treatment can cause some common complications, such as oral mucositis, which affects the quality of life of patients. More fine-grained control of rapamycin plasma concentrations may help improve the therapeutic effect and reduce the incidence of complications. Therefore, the investigators conducted this study to understand whether low-dose rapamycin is beneficial to the prognosis of patients.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Low dose of sirolimus
The plasma trough concentration of sirolimus is maintained within the range of 5-8 ng/ml by adjusting sirolimus dose, for 1 year.
Sirolimus (RAPAMUNE)
Use of different doses of the same drug
High dose of sirolimus
The plasma trough concentration of sirolimus is maintained within the range of 10-15 ng/ml by adjusting sirolimus dose, for 1 year.
Sirolimus (RAPAMUNE)
Use of different doses of the same drug
