Summary
This trial aims to study the safety and effects of low-dose sirolimus in individuals with RUNX1-FPD.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with RUNX1 Familial Platelet Disorder who have a platelet count of ≥50,000/µL and normal heart, liver, and kidney function can join. They must not have had certain blood disorders or treatments like sirolimus recently and should be free from serious infections or uncontrolled bleeding.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and effects of low-dose Sirolimus on patients with thrombocytopenia due to RUNX1-FPD. Participants will provide bone marrow samples before and after treatment to assess changes in hematopoietic function.
What are the potential side effects?
Sirolimus may cause side effects such as increased risk of infection, problems with liver or kidney function, high cholesterol levels, potential for blood clots or bleeding issues. Specific side effect experiences can vary among individuals.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will visit the study clinic 2 times during Week 1, one (1) time during Weeks 2-4, and then 1 time every 2 weeks after that (Weeks 6, 8, 10, and so on) until Week 22 (Month 6). Then participants will have a follow-up visit at Week 24 and again at Week 52 (Month 12). Participants will take sirolimus by mouth every day, at about the same time each day. Swallow the tablet(s) whole with a full glass of water (about 1 cup). Do not crush or chew the tablet(s). Participants may take sirolimus with or without food.
