Title: Phase II Study of Topical Rapamycin to Erase Angiofibromas in TSC-Multicenter Evaluation of a Novel Therapy
Brief Summary: The study is a multi-center prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of the safety and efficacy of a topically applied formulation of rapamycin to cutaneous angiofibromas in subjects with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). Subjects will apply either the topical vehicle containing rapamycin or the topical vehicle alone nightly to their angiofibromas for six months.

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the topical medication for reduction of cutaneous angiofibromas in patients with TSC. The secondary goal of this study is to confirm the safety of the topical medication.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects must be willing and able to comply with all trial requirements.
* Subject has a diagnosis of TSC and has visible facial angiofibromas.
* Female subjects of child bearing potential must not be pregnant and must agree to use appropriate contraceptive methods .

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject is currently receiving therapy with Rapamycin.
* Subject is receiving any form of immunosuppression or has previously experienced immune dysfunction.
* Subject is currently participating in or has participated within the last 30 days in a clinical trial involving an investigational drug.
* Subject has a known hypersensitivity to either the vehicle or Rapamycin.
* Subject is a pregnant or nursing female.
* Subject has other dermatologic conditions that would preclude or prevent adequate assessment of changes to their facial angiofibromas.
* Subject has had laser surgery, cryotherapy, or other dermatologic treatment to their facial angiofibromas within the previous 6 months.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 3-65 years old (females of reproductive age must not be pregnant or breastfeeding)
* Kidney ANGIOMYOLIPOMA 2 cm or greater on baseline MRI (a CT scan may be used for patients who cannot undergo MRI imaging)
* No evidence of severe LAM (not on continuous oxygen)
* Informed consent, including consent for submission of blood, urine and tissue samples as described in the appendix.
* Adequate renal and liver function (eGFR of 30 or higher, SGOT, SGPT, TBili, Alk Phos all\<2x normal)
* HCT\>27%
* ANC \> 1500 and platelet count \>100,000
* Diagnosis of TSC or LAM (diagnosis of TSC using revised diagnostic criteria \[45\], diagnosis of LAM made by chest CT scan and reviewed by a pulmonologist).
* Fertility/Reproductive issues: The effects of rapamycin on the developing fetus at the doses used in this study are unknown. For this reason, rapamycin should not be taken during pregnancy. Participants who are fertile must maintain adequate contraception while they are taking rapamycin and for twelve weeks after stopping the drug. Acceptable contraceptive measures include prior hysterectomy, oophorectomy or tubal ligation, complete abstinence, barrier methods which include both a cervical diaphragm and spermicidal jelly, and progestin based contraceptives. Pregnancy tests will be obtained at enrollment and during study visits at 8 weeks, 16 weeks, 24 weeks, 32 weeks, 40 weeks, and 52 weeks.

  * Note: Eligibility requirement of ECOG PS of 0 or 1 has been removed to allow participation of those subjects with TSC who are classified as ECOG PS of 2,3, or 4 because of cognitive impairment rather than progressive disease. This change allows site Pl's to individualize decision making on whether or not to enroll such subjects after discussing details of the study with prospective participant and legal guardian. The decision to enroll individuals with ECOG PS of 2,3, or 4 will be at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.

Exclusion criteria:

* Unstable seizures (defined as changes in anti-epileptics OR increase in frequency and/or severity or seizures in the 60 days prior to study entry)
* Significant bleed associated with kidney angiomyolipoma(s) (defined as bleed associated with shock OR requiring a blood transfusion in the 30 days prior to study entry)
* Severe LAM (defined as dependent on continuous supplemental oxygen)
* Evidence for accelerating renal dysfunction or acute renal failure
* Diagnosis of Renal Cell Cancer that has not been treated (additional clarification: individuals with a prior history of renal cancer who have had appropriate surgery and have no evidence of metastatic disease can be enrolled)
* Active infection
* Patients will be excluded if they have been treated with any investigational agent in the 30 days prior to study entry
* Patients may not be treated with other investigational agents while on study
* Prior history of coronary artery disease
* Vascular embolization for treatment of kidney angiomyolipoma(s) within 6 months
* Patients who must take diltiazem, ketoconazole or rifampin chronically will be excluded because of known drug interactions. Both diltiazem and ketoconazole are strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 and are known to increase rapamycin levels. Rifampin is a known CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inducer and is known to significantly reduce rapamycin levels.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* If female, documentation of negative pregnancy test prior to enrolment.
* Participants, including males, must use an effective form of contraception, whilst taking sirolimus and for twelve weeks after stopping the drug
* One or more renal angiomyolipomata of at least two centimetres or greater in largest diameter
* Adequate renal function :glomerular filtration rate \> 40 ml/min
* Clinically definite diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis (modified Gomez criteria) or sporadic LAM (biopsy-proven or compatible high resolution chest CT scan and respiratory function tests.)
* Signed and dated informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of non-compliance or inability to give informed consent
* Significant haematological or hepatic abnormality (i.e. transaminase levels \> 150 i.u./L serum albumin \< 30 g/L, haematocrit\< 30%, platelets \< 100,000/ mm3, adjusted absolute neutrophil count \< 1,500/mm3, total WBC \< 3,000/ mm3)
* Greater than 1 g proteinuria daily
* Multiple bilateral AMLs, where individual lesions cannot be distinguished
* Renal haemorrhage within preceding year
* In those who have had a renal haemorrhage, known conservatively managed renal aneurysm(s) greater than 10mm
* Patients who have had embolisation for AML(s) within the preceding 6 months
* Patients who are unable to walk 100 metres on the flat
* Continuous requirement for supplemental oxygen
* Patients who have had or are being considered for organ transplant
* Uncontrolled hyperlipidaemia
* Intercurrent infection at initiation of Sirolimus
* Surgery within last 2 months
* Pregnant or lactating women
* Use of an investigational drug within the last 30 days
* Change in anti epileptic drug medication within the last 3 months
* Likely to need vaccination e.g. for travel during the course of the trial (except for influenza vaccine in patients with LAM)
* Current usage of strong inhibitors of CYP3AE ( such as ketoconazole, voriconazole, itraconazole, tilithromycin or clarithromycin) or strong inducers (such as rifampicin or rifabutin)
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject is willing and able to comply with all trial requirements
* Subject is male or female and over 13 years of age
* Subject has a diagnosis of either TSC or NF1 and has visible fibromatous lesions (angiofibromas or neurofibromas)
* Female subjects of child-bearing potential must not be pregnant and must agree to use appropriate contraceptive methods for the duration of the trial

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject is currently receiving therapy with rapamycin or sirolimus
