Title: Topical Rapamycin Therapy to Alleviate Cutaneous Manifestations of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and Neurofibromatosis 1
Brief Summary: This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of the safety of a topically applied formulation of rapamycin to cutaneous fibromatous lesions in subjects with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and Neurofibromatosis I (NF1). Subjects will apply either a Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coating (Skincerity) containing rapamycin or the PVDF coating alone nightly to fibromatous lesions for a duration of six months.

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety of the topical product in patients with TSC and NF1. The secondary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the topical product for treatment of cutaneous fibromatous lesions.


Options:
A: 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.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age three years and older
* If female and of child bearing potential, documentation of negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment. In the extension phase, all females of child bearing potential will be required to take monthly home pregnancy tests and record results on a provided diary card.
* Clinically definite diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis (modified Gomez criteria or positive genetic test)
* Presence of giant cell astrocytoma as defined by imaging characteristics and serial increase in size of lesion on 2 or more MRI scans
* Adequate renal function (creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dl)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Serious intercurrent medical illness or other uncontrolled medical disease which could compromise participation in the study
* Significant hematologic or hepatic abnormality
* Continuous requirement for supplemental oxygen
* Intercurrent infection at initiation of everolimus
* Embolization of angiomyolipoma within one month; any other recent surgery within 2 months of initiation of everolimus
* Pregnant or lactating women
* Use of an investigational drug within the last 30 days
* Must be adequately recovered from the acute toxicities of any prior therapy
* Clinical evidence of impending herniation or focal neurologic deficit related to the subject's astrocytoma
* Unwilling or unable to use highly effective contraception
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female patients 3 years old or greater at the time of informed consent

4. Patients who are not suitable for therapy with laser or surgery, or who do not want therapy with laser or surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who are hard to apply the test drug topically with keeping compliance
2. Patients with clinical findings such as erosion, ulcer and eruption on or around the lesion of angiofibroma, which may affect assessment of safety or efficacy
3. Patients who are hard to be taken pictures of their lesions adequately in such cases that they may not follow instruction of stillness
4. Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to alcohol or allergy to sirolimus
5. Patients who have complications such as malignant tumor, infection, serious heart disease, hepatic function disorder, renal function disorder or blood disorders which severity are considered by investigator as grade 2 or more severe with reference to ''Concerning classification criteria for seriousness of adverse drug reactions of medical agents''

Patients who have complications such as diseases unsuitable for the trial participation, for examples, uncontrolled diabetes (fasting blood glucose level \>140 mg/dL or postprandial blood glucose level \> 200 mg/dL), dyslipidemia (cholesterol level \> 300 mg/dL or \> 7.75 mmol/L, triglycerides level \> 300 mg/dL or \> 3.42 mmol/L), etc.
