OBJECTIVES: To investigate the efficacy and safety of sirolimus in the treatment of cardiac rhabdomyomas associated with tuberous sclerosis complex and the specific benefits in different subgroups. STUDY DESIGN: The study was a prospective cohort and self-controlled case series study. Based on the prevalence of cardiac rhabdomyoma at different ages, we estimated the natural tumor disappearance rate. The subgroup analysis was done by Cox regression. Self-controlled case series method was used to assess the magnitude and duration of the drug effect. Adverse events were described. RESULTS: A total of 217 patients were included in the cohort study. Tumor disappearance rate was higher in younger age groups (hazard ratio = 0.99, P = .027) and female patients (hazard ratio = 2.08, P = .015). The age-adjusted incidence ratio showed that the disappearance of rhabdomyomas between 3 and 6 months was more related to sirolimus. Adverse events were observed 60 times in 42 of 217 children, mainly stomatitis. CONCLUSIONS: Sirolimus can increase the disappearance rate of cardiac rhabdomyoma in the tuberous sclerosis complex population. Efficacy varies by sex and age: female and younger patients have higher tumor disappearance rate. Sirolimus is well-tolerated.
