Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the efficacy of oral sirolimus in reducing tumor volume and stage in patients with nasopharyngeal angiofibroma as assessed by contrast-enhanced MRI of the head and neck (CE-MRI )Timepoint: Radiological imaging at the time of enrolment and after 3 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To document and evaluate any adverse effects or toxicity related to oral sirolimus during the treatment period.Timepoint: Every 2 weeks from the time of enrolment for a duration of 3 months;To assess the impact of sirolimus on intraoperative parameters like s like surgical duration, estimated blood loss, and need for blood transfusionTimepoint: After completion of sirolimus treatment , patient might undergo surgery for excision. this secondary outcome will be measured at the time of surgery. the exact time point of surgery is variable;To assess histological changes in tumor vascularity and stromal characteristics posttreatment.Timepoint: The exact time point of this secondary outcome is variable
