AZD6244 for Neurofibromatosis

Cincinnati, Ohio
Background: - Plexiform neurofibromas are tumors that grow in and around nerves. The only way to treat them is with surgery. Some of these tumors cannot be completely removed. The tumors may be too large, too numerous, or in a bad location for surgery. An experimental drug called AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate may be able to prevent the tumors from growing, slow down their growth, or shrink them. This drug has been tested in adults with cancer and in children with some types of brain cancer. This study will test how well this drug works with these types of tumors. Objectives: - To study the safety and effectiveness of AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate in children and young adults with plexiform neurofibromas that cannot be completely removed by surgery. Eligibility: - Children and young adults between 12 and 18 years of age who have plexiform neurofibromas that cannot be completely removed by surgery. Design: * Patients will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, blood tests, and imaging studies. * They will take the study drug twice a day with 8 ounces of water, every day for 28-day cycles of treatment. During study visits, participants will have blood and urine tests and physical exams. They will also have imaging studies to examine the tumor sizes and locations. They will answer questions about their health. They may have other tests as needed. * Participants will continue to receive the study drug as long as they have no severe side effects and the disease is not getting worse.

Selumetinib for Neurofibromatosis

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a disorder that can cause plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). These are tumors that grow along nerves. Some PNs cause serious health problems. PNs often can t be operated on because of their large size, location, or number. There are no effective treatments known for people with NF1 and PNs. Researchers want to test if the drug selumetinib (AZD6244 hydrogen sulfate) causes PNs to shrink or slows down their growth. Objectives: To test if selumetinib helps treat PNs. To test how the body handles selumetinib and how it affects peoples symptoms. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with NF1, with an inoperable PN that causes morbidity or is growing Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history and physical exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Eye exam MRI: They lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. PN biopsy: A small piece of the tumor is removed by a large needle. Questionnaires Participants will swallow selumetinib capsules every 12 hours for several 28-day cycles. The capsules are taken with a full glass of water on an empty stomach. Participants may have only water for 2 hours before and 1 hour after each dose. Participants will keep a drug diary. They will continue taking the drug as long as they tolerate it and their disease doesn t progress. Participants will have several visits throughout the study. These will include repeats of the screening tests. Participants will have a final visit after they stop taking selumetinib.

AlgometRx Nociometer for Neurofibromatosis

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic condition that causes tumors to grow along the nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. People with NF1 often have pain and may experience other abnormal sensations like itching, numbness, or tingling. These symptoms can affect their daily life. Researchers want to learn more about these symptoms and find better ways to measure pain in people with NF1. Objective: To learn if a device called the AlgometRx Nociometer(Registered trademark) is effective in measuring pain or other abnormal sensations in people with NF1. Eligibility: People aged 1 year and older with NF1. Design: Individuals can have up to 3 assessments completed in person. Each assessment may last up to 1.0 to 1.5 hours. Individuals will be screened. They will complete questionnaires about their health and how bad their pain is. If participants are having blood drawn for other reasons, some additional samples may be used in this study. The AlgometRx Nociometer includes an electrode that will be placed onto a finger or a toe. The electrode will send non-painful electrical signals to activate nerves in the finger or toe. At the same time, a camera will be used to record changes in the pupil of the eye. The test will be done on all 4 of the participant s limbs; however, researchers may skip 1 or more limbs for various reasons. This test takes about 10 seconds to complete with at least a one-minute rest between testing different limbs. Individuals will be asked to do a 2nd assessment with the AlgometRx Nociometer that may be done 1 hour later but no more than 72 hours after the first assessment. Participants who will be returning for another visit can opt to do a 3rd assessment that will be done at least 4 weeks but not more than 18 months after the 1st....

Selumetinib + Cabozantinib for Plexiform Neurofibroma

Birmingham, Alabama
Based on the clinical activity of both selumetinib and cabozantinib as monotherapies in clinical trials, the demonstrated activity of these agents in reduced doses in preclinical studies, and the non-overlapping toxicity profiles, the study will assess the tolerability and efficacy of selumetinib and cabozantinib in combination in participants with NF1 ≥16 years old with progressive and/or symptomatic PN in a phase 1/1b/2 clinical trial. Trial Design Phase 1 This will be an open label, dose escalation phase. Dose level escalation will be determined by a rolling six design. In this design, up to 6 participants can be enrolled at a given dose level and then evaluated for dose limiting toxicity (DLT) within the DLT window. The DLT window is defined as 16 weeks in this study based on the long half-life of cabozantinib and the desire to have maximum confidence about long-term tolerability of the combination prior to proceeding to the next dose level. Phase 1b Once the recommended phase 2 dose has been determined in phase 1, an expanded cohort of 12 participants will be enrolled in phase 1b portion of the study. Phase 2 This will be an open label, single-arm phase using the recommended phase 2 dose.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Plexiform Neurofibroma clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Plexiform Neurofibroma clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Plexiform Neurofibroma trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Plexiform Neurofibroma is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Plexiform Neurofibroma medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Plexiform Neurofibroma clinical trials?

Most recently, we added AlgometRx Nociometer for Neurofibromatosis, Selumetinib + Cabozantinib for Plexiform Neurofibroma and HLX-1502 for Neurofibromatosis to the Power online platform.
