Brief Summary
Recent studies have demonstrated that growth of vascular malformations can be driven by genetic variants in one of 2 signalling pathways. Targeted drugs specific to these pathways have been developed and shown to be effective in treating cancer. This study will describe the effectiveness of (i) 48 weeks of alpelisib therapy for participants with slow-flow vascular malformations and a gene mutation in one of these signalling pathways (module 1) and (ii) 48 weeks of mirdametinib therapy for participants with fast-flow vascular malformations and a gene mutations in the other signalling pathway (module 2).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The number of participants who achieve or exceed a predetermined threshold of improvement in their most significant symptom at 48 weeks based on the Vascular Malformation Patient Specific Outcome Measure (VM-PSOM).
Vascular malformations present with a range of different symptoms. Therefore, there is no single outcome measure that can capture the effectiveness of a systemic treatment across different patients. Thus for this study, an individualised primary outcome for each patient informed by their symptoms will be used, termed the Vascular Malformation Patient Specific Outcome Measure (VM-PSOM). The study "Outcome Committee" will define an individualised primary outcome for each patient informed by their symptoms and vascular malformation features prior to starting trial treatments. The VM-PSOM endpoint will therefore define a binary outcome for each patients (achieved or failed to reach the threshold improvement in the chosen measure).
At 48 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (5)
The number of participants who achieve or exceed a predetermined threshold of improvement in their most significant symptom at the 168-day timepoint based on the Vascular Malformation Patient Specific Outcome Measure (VM-PSOM).
48 weeks, 168-day follow-up
The number of participants with an objective response (defined as ≥ 20% reduction from index date in the sum of measurable target lesion volume) by volumetric analysis on MRI.
Baseline, 48 weeks
Change in symptoms score as recorded on the OVAMA (Outcome measures for VAscular MAlformations) questionnaire.
Time frame: Baseline, 48 weeks
Change in symptoms score as recorded on the OVAMA (Outcome measures for VAscular MAlformations) which is a set of questions developed specifically to measure symptom burden from vascular malformations.
Time frame: 48 weeks, Day 168 follow-up
The number of patients who experience adverse events as defined by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.
From Baseline to Day 168 follow-up
Study Arms (2)
Module 1: Slow-flow vascular malformations
EXPERIMENTALSlow-flow vascular malformations with identified causative variants in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling pathway will receive alpelisib (provided by Novartis Pharmaceuticals), an oral alpha-specific PI3-kinase inhibitor for a total duration of 48 weeks as monotherapy, followed by 24 weeks of follow-up.
Module 2: Fast-flow vascular malformations
EXPERIMENTALFast-flow vascular malformations with identified causative variants in the RAS-MEK-ERK signalling pathway will receive mirdametinib (provided by SpringWorks Therapeutics, Inc.), an investigational oral MEK inhibitor for a total duration of 48 weeks as monotherapy, followed by 24 weeks of follow-up.
