Mirda Trial Summary

This trial is testing the drug mirdametinib in adults with NF1 and cNF. Participants will go through three phases: screening, treatment, and a follow-up period for safety.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and at least 12 measurable cutaneous neurofibromas (cNF). They must have a certain level of overall health, including specific blood cell counts and performance status. Participants need to be able to undergo tumor biopsies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Mirdametinib as a single-agent therapy for adults with NF1 and cNF. It's an open-label study, meaning both doctors and patients know what treatment is being given, conducted in multiple doses across three phases: screening, treatment, and follow-up.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects are not explicitly listed here, common ones associated with similar medications may include skin reactions at the site of neurofibroma treatment, gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhea, fatigue, liver enzyme changes, rash or other skin changes.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Assess the safety of continuous and three week on-one week off dosing of mirdametinib in adults with NF1 and cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs).
Define the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of mirdametinib in adults with NF1 and cNF.
• Evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of mirdametinib monotherapy in adults with NF1 and cNFs.

Mirda Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
For the Phase 2 portion, treatment will be administered based on recommended RP2D from Phase 1. All participants will receive study drug until: cessation of study treatment due to death, intolerance, or withdrawal of consent from the study; completion of 24 cycles of treatment (unless the investigator's benefit-risk assessment supports continued treatment; disease progression; or Investigator's decision. Treatment period ends with the administration of the last dose. The study ends 30 days after the last dose.
Group II: Phase 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
For the Phase 1 portion, treatment will be administered continuously (Dose regimens 1, 2, 4) or intermittently (Dose regimen 3; 3 weeks on/1 week off) in 28-day cycles). All participants will receive study drug until: cessation of study treatment due to death, intolerance, or withdrawal of consent from the study; completion of 24 cycles of treatment (unless the investigator's benefit-risk assessment supports continued treatment); participants enroll in the phase 2a portion of the study; disease progression; or Investigator's decision. Treatment period ends with the administration of the last dose. The study ends 30 days after the last dose
