The hypothesize of this research is that rapamycin is effective and well-tolerated in teenagers with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Rapamycin could be effective in blocking the formation of adenomas and/or their evolution by decreasing their size and number. Researchers aim to assess the safety profile of rapamycin in FAP adolescents using a 2 low dose regimen.
