Smeitinib for neurofibromatosis type 1 tumors
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a new pill (smeitinib) to shrink tumors caused by neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). It is for adults with NF1 who have tumors that cannot be removed by surgery, including those that press on the brain or spine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of NF1 based on standard criteria.
- You have at least one measurable tumor that cannot be surgically removed.
- You are generally in good health, with adequate blood counts, liver, kidney, and heart function.
- You have not had other cancer treatments (like surgery, chemo, or radiation) for these tumors before.
- You are not pregnant and are willing to use birth control if needed.

This trial tests a capsule medication (smetinib) for people with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) who have tumors that can be surgically removed but have not spread to vital areas like the brain or spine. The goal is to see if the drug can help shrink or control these tumors.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This trial tests a drug called selumetinib (a pill) for people with NF2-related schwannomatosis, a condition that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow on nerves, especially near the ears. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or stabilize these tumors and protect hearing.
