Pain-relief study for adults with schwannomatosis
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether an antibody medicine (either siltuximab or erenumab) can reduce moderate-to-severe pain in adults with schwannomatosis. It compares the medicine to a placebo and looks for improved pain control and tolerability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older at the start of treatment.
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of schwannomatosis (either through clinical findings or genetic test results).
- Have moderate to severe pain from schwannomatosis (pain score 5 or higher out of 10 on the NRS-11) in the last 7 days, and/or at screening.
- Try pain medicines for schwannomatosis first, but they must not have worked enough, not have been tolerated, or not be safe for you to use.
- Have recent blood tests within required ranges for liver, kidneys, blood counts, and other markers (done within 28 days of starting).
- Be able to give informed consent and follow study visits; you must also have a primary care contact.

This study looks at new medicines for people with NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN), a condition that causes tumors on nerves. It aims to track how tumors grow over time and test potential treatments.
This trial tests a medication called efgartigimod that may help people with Sjogren's disease who have nerve damage causing numbness, tingling, or weakness. The drug works by blocking certain antibodies that are thought to attack the nerves. It aims to improve nerve symptoms and quality of life.
This trial tests a new injection called sss40 to treat moderate-to-severe pain caused by cancer that has spread to the bones. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for people whose pain is not being controlled by current treatments.
This trial studies targeted medicines in people with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) who have growing tumors on scans. The goal is to slow tumor growth and improve symptoms by testing different drug combinations in separate study groups.
This trial tests a drug called selumetinib for people with a rare genetic condition called NF2-related schwannomatosis, which causes non-cancerous tumors on nerves. The study focuses on shrinking or slowing the growth of these tumors, especially those affecting hearing, and is for patients who cannot have surgery or choose not to.
This study tests an investigational drug called nemolizumab for adults with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). It aims to see if the drug can help reduce skin thickening and other symptoms, especially in people with early or moderate disease.
