Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- NCT06541847RecruitingPhase 2
Testing HLX-1502 for NF1 with Plexiform Neurofibromas
This trial tests an experimental drug called HLX-1502 for people with NF1 who have a plexiform neurofibroma (a type of nerve tumor) that is growing or causing problems. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can shrink or stop the tumor from worsening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT05849662RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Trametinib plus azacitidine for newly diagnosed JMML
This trial studies whether trametinib and azacitidine can control juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) soon after diagnosis. It’s designed to test safety and how well the treatment works in children and young adults who meet specific leukemia and genetic criteria.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1 month–21 years - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 1–8 - NCT06159166RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Mirdametinib for NF1 skin bumps
This study tests an oral drug called mirdametinib to see if it can shrink skin bumps caused by NF1. If you have at least 24 of these bumps on your skin and are in decent health, you may be able to join.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06507748Recruiting
Measuring pain with a finger device in NF1
This study tests a new way to measure pain and other sensations in people with NF1 using a device that clips onto a finger or toe. The device looks at how your pupil reacts to mild pulses, which may help doctors better understand your pain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120 - 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 - NCT06222203Recruiting
Monitoring for tumor changes in people with NF1
This study tracks people with NF1 to watch for when benign nerve tumors turn cancerous. It uses regular MRI scans to catch changes early, which could help guide treatment decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–120 - NCT06880991Recruiting
Study on visible tumors in neurofibromatosis type 1
This study talks with people who have NF1 (and caregivers of children with NF1) about how visible tumors affect them. The goal is to create questionnaires that measure these concerns, which could lead to better support and treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–120 - NCT05361811Recruiting
Therapy coaching for parents of children with rare genetic syndromes
This trial tests an “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy” program for parents or legal guardians who feel moderate parenting stress. It aims to help caregivers cope in healthier ways and may also improve how they manage stress while supporting their child.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04750928RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib for NF1 tumors using pills and body scans
This trial studies whether the medicine abemaciclib can shrink or slow the growth of “atypical neurofibromas” in people with NF1. Participants take pills and undergo regular check-ups, including MRI scans to measure the tumor.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12 years+ - NCT06735820RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
MEK and MDM2 inhibitors for NF1-related tumors
This trial tests two targeted drugs (selumetinib and milademetan) for people with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have either a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) or an atypical neurofibromatous neoplasm with uncertain biologic potential (ANNUBP). The goal is to see if blocking certain proteins can shrink or control these tumors.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06502171RecruitingPhase 1
Cabozantinib and selumetinib for plexiform neurofibromas
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (cabozantinib and selumetinib) for people with NF1 who have plexiform neurofibromas that are growing or causing significant problems. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
