Study Summary

This trial is testing if a new drug, miransertib, is safe and effective in treating Proteus syndrome, a rare overgrowth disorder. People ages 3 and older with Proteus syndrome who participate will take a miransertib pill once a day for 4 years and have 20-30 visits to the NIH for checkups.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 3 and older with Proteus syndrome, a rare overgrowth disorder. Participants must have specific blood values within normal ranges, not use tobacco or certain drugs, and agree to contraception if of childbearing potential. They can't join if they have uncontrolled diabetes, significant heart issues, active infections, or intolerance to AKT inhibitors like miransertib.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of MK-7075 (miransertib) in slowing down or stopping overgrowth in Proteus syndrome patients. It involves taking daily pills of miransertib for about four years with regular checkups at NIH including medical exams, imaging scans, lung function tests and surveys on pain and quality of life.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects are not explicitly listed here, common side effects from similar medications may include digestive issues, changes in blood counts leading to increased risk of infection or bleeding problems; liver function alterations; fatigue; skin reactions; muscle pains; and potential heart rhythm abnormalities.
