Brief Summary
Background: People with phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) hamartomatous tumor syndromes (PHTS) have a mutation in one of their genes called PTEN that can lead to benign t...

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Patients must have documented germline phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) mutation performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) approved laboratory.
- Patients must meet clinical criteria for Cowden Syndrome.
- Patients must have the capacity to provide informed consent and demonstrate willingness to comply with an oral regimen.
- Patients must have at least 6 sites amenable to biopsy within the skin and/or gastrointestinal (GI) tract and /or accessible malignant tumor (for patients with malignancy) and agree to the biopsy of these sites prior to and following sirolimus administration.
- Patients do not need to have malignant tumors, but if they do, they must have relapsed or failed to respond to standard therapy, and the patient's current disease state must be one for which there is no known curative therapy. Patients who are diagnosed with cancer as a consequence of initial positron emission tomography (PET)/computerized tomography (CT) scan will be managed according to the flow diagram illustration.
- Patients must have not received chemotherapy in the 28 days prior to enrollment.
- Age greater than or equal to 18 years of age.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of less than or equal to 2.
- An expected survival of greater than or equal to 3 months.
- Patients must consent to the use of effective barrier-based contraception during the course of treatment and for three months following discontinuation of treatment.
- Patients must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- absolute neutrophil count greater than or equal to 1,500/mL.
- platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mL.
- total bilirubin less than 1.5 times upper limit of institutional normal.
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(SGOT) less than or equal to 2.5 times upper limit of institutional normal.
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 times upper limit of institutional normal.
- Creatinine less than 1.5 times upper limit of institutional normal.
- PHTS subjects with benign hamartomatous disease must have controlled fasting low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride levels as defined by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) guidelines. Please see section 3.5 for further details.
- Patients must have recovered from any acute toxicity related to prior treatments, including surgery. Toxicity should be \< grade 1 or returned to baseline.
- If a patient withdraws consent within two weeks of starting study drug, he/she may request to re-enter study at the principal investigators (PI's) discretion by re-signing consent and being re-registered through the Central Registration Office (CRO) using the initial baseline studies. Sirolimus taken during the period on study (prior to withdrawal of consent) will not be considered as prior sirolimus therapy that otherwise would exclude enrollment.
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Pregnant or lactating women, due to potentially harmful effects of sirolimus on the embryo or fetus or nursing child.
- Any concurrent therapy with chemotherapeutic agents or biologic agents or radiation therapy.
- Patients taking immuno-suppressive agents other than prescribed corticosteroids, which must not exceed the equivalent of 20 mg/d of prednisone.
- Patients that are on the following cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors and cannot replace these medications with other equivalent medications for the period of the study: protease inhibitors, cyclosporine, fluconazole, itraconazole, ketoconazole, metoclopramide, felodipine, nifedipine, carbamazepine, Phenobarbital, grapefruit juice, and St. John's Wort.
- Patients who have received live vaccines in the past 30 days.
- Patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositivity, due to potential drug interactions between sirolimus and anti-retroviral medications, as well as the unknown effects of single agent sirolimus on the immune system in HIV patients.
- Patients with interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
- Patients with bleeding diathesis.
- Patients with prior or active pneumocystis jirovecii (PJP) pneumonia.
- Patients with prior use of rapamycin, a rapamycin analogue, or other mTOR inhibitor.
- Patients who do not agree to have multiple repeated biopsies performed.
