Medical Uses
Sirolimus protein-bound particles (marketed as Fyarro), from Aadi Bioscience, are indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa).
Sirolimus is an mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) inhibitor. In PEComa, which is frequently driven by TSC1/TSC2 gene alterations leading to mTOR pathway activation, sirolimus blocks this pathway, slowing or stopping tumor cell growth. The nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) formulation improves drug delivery to tumor tissue.
