NF110 Trial Summary

This trial will test a new drug, crizotinib, on people with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 who have a progressive vestibular schwannoma. The drug will be taken orally, continuously, for 28 days at a time, for up to 12 cycles.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adults over 6 years old with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and growing vestibular schwannomas. Participants must have stable neurologic symptoms, meet specific health criteria, not be on certain drugs or treatments that could interfere, and women of childbearing age must use effective birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Crizotinib, an oral medication given in continuous 28-day cycles up to a maximum of 12 cycles. It aims to see if it can stop the growth of tumors in patients with NF2 until either the disease progresses further or side effects become too severe.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include issues from drug interactions due to Crizotinib's effect on liver enzymes, gastrointestinal problems affecting how well the body absorbs the drug, heart rhythm changes, and general risks associated with taking anticancer medications.

NF110 Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Open Label Continuous TreatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and progressive vestibular schwannoma (VS) will be treated with crizotinib administered orally. Crizotinib will be taken continuously until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, in continuous treatment cycles of 28 days each, for a maximum of 12 cycles. Clinical response will be assessed by MRI (volumetrics, primary objective) and audiology at the end of every 3rd cycle. Subjects with volumetric tumor progression will be taken off protocol. Patients who complete 12 cycles of treatment without disease progression, but within the following 24 weeks show subsequent disease progression (defined as >20% increase in target tumor volume compared to off-treatment volume), will be eligible for re-treatment on study for up to 48 additional weeks, provided they still meet study eligibility criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this trial currently open to new participants?

"The trial listed on clinicaltrials.gov is no longer in need of participants, with its initial postdate being February 18th 2020 and the most recent update occurring on January 10th 2022. Despite this study's closure for recruitment purposes, 105 other studies are still actively seeking candidates."

Answered by AI

How widely distributed is the trial's presence within this state?

"This research trial is enrolling patients in 17 different locations, including Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (Site 800) in Ohio, Children's National Medical Center (Site 775) located in Washington D.C., and The University of Alabama at Birmingham (Site 700)."

Answered by AI

Does this treatment pose any risks to the health and safety of patients?

"With prior data confirming safety, we rate the treatment a 2 on our 1-3 scale. This is because this Phase 2 trial has some evidence supporting its security but none regarding effectiveness."

Answered by AI

Is this trial the original of its genre?

"32 active trials for this medication span across 36 nations and 1204 cities. Back in 2011, Pfizer launched a Phase 1 trial with 44 participants which was successful upon completion. Since then, an additional 44 studies have been finished."

Answered by AI

Are there any precedents for this therapeutic approach?

"At present, 32 clinical trials researching this treatment are ongoing. Of those experiments, 6 have progressed to Phase 3 of the trial process. Although the majority of studies for this therapy are located in Westerville, Ohio, there is a total of 6908 sites conducting research linked to it."

Answered by AI

How many participants are registering for this experiment?

"Unfortunately, this medical trial is not currently accepting participants. It was first posted on February 18th 2020 and last updated January 10th 2022. However, there are numerous other studies actively enrolling people with neurofibromatosis 2 (73) or seeking to administer the same treatment (32)."
