About this trial
This phase I trial studies the safety and side effects of low-dose sirolimus in treating patients with RUNX1 familial platelet disorder (FPD). RUNX1-FPD is a rare inherited disorder with symptoms such as mild to moderately low platelet count, abnormal platelet function, and an increased risk of developing cancers like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is caused by changes (variants) in the RUNX1 gene that is passed down (inherited) from an affected parent. Sirolimus is typically given to help prevent organ rejection in patients receiving kidney transplants. However, sirolimus may also be able to prevent RUNX1-FPD from progressing to cancers like MDS and AML by targeting another protein called mTORC1. Sirolimus may be a safe treatment for patients with RUNX1-FPD.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of grade 3+ treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs)
The incidence of grade 3+ TRAEs and the total proportion of participants who experienced grade 3+ TRAEs will be estimated and presented with the corresponding 95% exact Clopper Pearson confidence intervals.
Secondary outcomes
Change in platelet count
Descriptive statistics on continuous data will include means, medians, standard deviations and ranges, while categorical data will be summarized using frequency counts and percentages. Confidence intervals may be included, as appropriate. Graphical summaries of the data may also be presented.
Change in variant allele frequency for existing clones
Descriptive statistics on continuous data will include means, medians, standard deviations and ranges, while categorical data will be summarized using frequency counts and percentages. Confidence intervals may be included, as appropriate. Graphical summaries of the data may also be presented.
Change in number of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential mutations
Descriptive statistics on continuous data will include means, medians, standard deviations and ranges, while categorical data will be summarized using frequency counts and percentages. Confidence intervals may be included, as appropriate. Graphical summaries of the data may also be presented.
Change in percent positivity based on activated GPIIb IIIa and surface P selectin and CD42b
Descriptive statistics on continuous data will include means, medians, standard deviations and ranges, while categorical data will be summarized using frequency counts and percentages. Confidence intervals may be included, as appropriate. Graphical summaries of the data may also be presented.
