ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying the use of a medication called Bleomycin for treating lymphatic malformations (LMs) in children. LMs are abnormal growths in the lymphatic system, which can cause swelling and other problems. The researchers want to find out which concentration of Bleomycin is the most effective and safe for this type of treatment. They are currently looking for participants who are under 14 years old, have parents willing to give consent, and have LMs that are causing noticeable symptoms or issues and can't be easily removed with surgery.
If your child is eligible and chooses to participate, they will receive Bleomycin through a procedure called sclerotherapy, which involves injecting the medication into the affected area to help shrink the malformation. The trial is still recruiting participants, so if you think your child might benefit, it's a good idea to discuss it with your healthcare provider to learn more.
