- NCT05238909Enrolling by invitation
Tracking tumor burden in people with NF1
This study looks for better ways to measure how much tumor activity people with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) have over time. The goal is to develop “biomarkers,” which are test results that may help doctors track disease more easily.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - 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.

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.

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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 1–8 - 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.

What taking part in a neurofibromatosis 1 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 neurofibromatosis 1 clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 5 recruiting neurofibromatosis 1 studies with a site in Illinois, 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 neurofibromatosis 1 study in Illinois?
- 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 Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, 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 neurofibromatosis 1 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.
