INTUITT-NF2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, brigatinib, to see if it is effective in treating patients with NF2 who have progressive tumors of VS, non-VS, meningiomas, and ependymomas.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) and related progressive tumors like vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, or ependymomas. Participants must be at least 12 years old, weigh over 40 kg, have a pathogenic NF2 gene variant or meet specific diagnostic criteria, and have measurable disease progression within the last three years. They should not need tumor treatment within six months of joining and must agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The INTUITT-NF2 study is testing Neratinib and Brigatinib in separate substudies to see their effects on different types of tumors associated with NF2. It's a phase II trial where patients are given one of these drugs to measure their impact on tumor growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive issues such as diarrhea, liver problems like elevated enzymes, heart issues including high blood pressure or abnormal heartbeat, lung complications such as shortness of breath or coughing, muscle pain or weakness, skin rash or itching.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Sub-study B (neratinib)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The first three participants treated in this arm will receive neratinib 200 mg mg by mouth daily. If these participants tolerate the medication well, subsequent participants will receive neratinib 240 mg by mouth daily.
Group II: Sub-study A (brigatinib) - CLOSED TO ENROLLMENTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects treated in this arm will receive brigatinib 90 mg by mouth daily for 7 days and then increased to 180 mg by mouth daily if the drug is tolerated.
