About this trial
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of different concentration gradients of sirolimus in the treatment of cystic lymphatic malformation.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male and female;
Between 0 and 18 years of age;
Disqualifiers
Patients contraindicated for the administration of sirolimus (e.g., those with an allergy to sirolimus or other rapamycin analog)
Exposure to chemotherapy, embolization, corticosteroids, propranolol, sclerotherapy or any other investigational agents within 1 weeks before enrolment on study;
Patients had a history of a major surgery within 2 weeks before enrollment;

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The proportion of patients achieving an objective response at month 12
Objective response was defined as ≥20% reduction in LM volume compared to that at baseline.
Secondary outcomes
The proportion of patients achieving an objective response at month 6
Objective response was defined as ≥20% reduction in LM volume compared to that at baseline.
lesion responses
The primary endpoint was classified as follow: -Complete involution: 100% resolution of the measured LM; -Nearly complete involution was defined as decrease of ≥75% and \<100%; -Partial involution was defined as decrease of ≥20% and \<75%; -No change was defined as \<20% increase and \<20% decrease in the volumes of LM lesions; -Further growth was defined as ≥20% increase in the volume of index LM compared with the baseline volume measured. Lesion responses were overall lesion response rate and good lesion response rate. Overall lesion response comprised complete, nearly complete and partial involutions. Good lesion response comprised complete and nearly complete involutions.
Quality of life (QOL) in patients
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.
Disease sequelae
Disease sequelae were assessed by site investigators at month 12. The site investigators assessed patients' extremity swelling (if any), general physical activity and exercise levels.
