Methods EXIST-2 (NCT00790400), a randomized, double-blind, phase 3 trial, assessed the efficacy and safety of everolimus for the treatment of renal angiomyolipoma associated with either TSC or sporadic LAM. A total of 118 patients (median age, 31 years [range, 18-61]) who had renal angiomyolipoma associated with TSC (n=113) or sporadic LAM (n=5) were randomly assigned (2:1) to 10 mg/day everolimus (n=79) or placebo (n=39). Angiomyolipoma response rate (primary end point) was defined as the proportion of patients with confirmed ≥50% reduction in the sum of volumes of all target angiomyolipoma relative to baseline in the absence of kidney increase (>20% from nadir), no new angiomyolipoma lesions, and no angiomyolipoma-related bleeding of ≥ grade 2. Adverse events (AEs) were monitored at every visit. Results Everolimus was superior to placebo for the primary end point, renal angiomyolipoma response rate (42% vs 0%; P<0.0001; original data cutoff, 6/30/2011). Following positive results for the original cutoff, placebo patients were offered open-label everolimus in the study extension phase. As of 5/1/2013, 112 patients received ≥1 dose of everolimus, and the median duration of exposure was 29 months (range, 0.5-46). The angiomyolipoma response rate was 54% (95% confidence interval, 44-63). AEs were similar to those at the original cutoff and continued to be grade 1 or 2. The most frequent grade 3 AEs were blood phosphorus decreased (4%) and amenorrhea (3%). Individual grade 4 AEs occurred in <2% of patients; they were blood uric acid increase (n=2), convulsion, hydrocephalus, hypertensive crisis, neutropenia, pancreatic carcinoma, and rhabdomyolysis (n=1 each). The most common AEs reported in ≥20% of patients were nasopharyngitis and stomatitis (43% each), headache, acne and hypercholesterolemia (30% each), urinary tract infection (28%), aphthous stomatitis (26%), and cough (21%). Hemorrhages were seen in 34 patients (30%), with the most frequently (≥5%) reported AEs being epistaxis (10%), menorrhagia (8%), and vaginal hemorrhage unrelated to normal menstruation (7%). Of note, there were no renal hemorrhages in patients taking everolimus. Conclusions Everolimus continued to reduce angiomyolipoma volume with no new safety concerns. © 2014FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 191Issue 4SApril 2014Page: e540 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2014MetricsAuthor Information John Bissler More articles by this author J.
