This trial tests a new medicine called TTI-0102 for people with Leigh syndrome. The goal is to find the best dose that might help slow down the disease and improve daily life.
This Phase 2 trial tests sirolimus (a medicine that affects the immune system) to reduce symptoms and disease activity in adults with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). You may be a good fit if your lupus is currently active despite stable standard treatments.
This trial tests if the drug sirolimus can help people with focal seizures (starting in one part of the brain) that don't improve with at least two other medications. It aims to reduce seizure frequency in adults aged 18 to 60.
This Phase 2 study tests whether sirolimus combined with low-dose (“metronomic”) chemotherapy can help children and young adults with certain high-risk solid tumors stay in remission or reduce recurrence risk. It is designed for people whose cancer has responded well to initial treatment, with only minimal or no visible disease on scans.
This trial studies whether taking sirolimus once a week can improve blood vessel, lymph vessel, or mixed (venolymphatic) malformations. It may help reduce symptoms and lesion size, while also monitoring safety in children and adults.
This trial looks at whether drugs already approved for other conditions might help people with Leigh syndrome, a rare mitochondrial disorder. Researchers will study cells made from your skin to see how these drugs work.
