Summary

This trial evaluates the safety & efficacy of an injection to treat cystic lymphatic malformations in kids 6 months to 18 years old. Safety must be established in older kids before treating younger ones.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for kids and teens from 6 months to under 18 years with large or mixed fluid-filled lumps in the head, neck, or chest area. They can join if they've had treatments before but not within the last six months. Kids allergic to penicillin, with blood vessel tumors, mostly small cysts, or eye socket involvement can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests TARA-002 injections directly into these lumps. It's a two-part study: first ensuring it's safe for older kids (6-17 years) then younger ones (6 months-5 years). If safe, more kids will get up to four shots about six weeks apart in the second part of the study.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects aren't detailed here but may include reactions at the injection site and other responses typical of biological therapies. The trial aims to establish safety so close monitoring for any adverse effects is expected.
