NF111 Trial Summary

This trial will test the efficacy of poly-ICLC in treating pediatric patients with NF1 who have progressive low-grade glioma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric patients under 22 years with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and progressive low-grade gliomas. They must have had previous treatment, measurable tumor growth, and be in stable condition without recent surgeries or radiation therapy. Patients can't join if they've had certain other cancers, are pregnant/breastfeeding, on immunosuppressants, or unable to follow the study plan.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests poly-ICLC (Hiltonol®) for treating progressive low-grade brain tumors in children with NF1. It aims to see how well it works within the first year of treatment by measuring tumor response rates. The study will also explore secondary outcomes related to the drug's effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of poly-ICLC aren't listed here, similar drugs often cause flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache and muscle pain; injection site reactions; and potential changes in blood counts which could affect organ function.
