Testing and validating pain and symptom questionnaires for NF1

Neurofibromatosis 1Plexiform Neurofibromas

Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.

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.

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.

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.

Drug for adults with NF1 and non-surgically treatable nerve tumors

This Phase 2 trial tests HL-085 in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have a nerve tumor (plexiform neurofibroma) that cannot be removed by surgery and causes symptoms. It aims to shrink or control the tumor by measuring changes on MRI and monitoring side effects.

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.

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.

Online tool to help adults with neurofibromatosis 1 and low health literacy

This study tests an online platform designed to help adults with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) who have low health literacy. The goal is to make it easier to get evidence-based care. You may be a good fit if you have an upcoming checkup with your primary care doctor.
