Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT02544022Recruiting
Testing and validating pain and symptom questionnaires for NF1
This study checks whether patient surveys (questionnaires) can reliably measure symptoms and pain in people with NF1 who have plexiform neurofibromas. It helps create better tools for tracking how you feel and how treatments may affect quality of life.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 5 years+ - NCT02390752RecruitingPhase 1
Early drug study for children and young adults with hard-to-treat cancers
This Phase 1 trial tests pexidartinib (TURALIO) to see how safe it is and how well it works against refractory (hard-to-treat) leukemias and solid tumors, including tumors seen with NF1 and MPNST. It mainly helps researchers learn the best way to dose the medication and gather early signals of benefit.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–35 - NCT06188741RecruitingPhase 2
Selumetinib to prevent tumor growth in NF1 children
This study tests whether the drug selumetinib can prevent the growth of plexiform neurofibromas (nerve tumors) in young children with NF1. Children are first monitored with MRI scans, and if a tumor appears or grows, they may receive treatment.

What taking part in a plexiform neurofibroma study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there plexiform neurofibroma clinical trials in Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 3 recruiting plexiform neurofibroma studies with a site in Maryland, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a plexiform neurofibroma study in Maryland?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a plexiform neurofibroma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
