Summary

This study tested an oral drug called selumetinib for children and young adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have nerve tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. The main goals were to find a safe dose and see if the drug could shrink or stop these tumors from growing. Participants took the drug twice daily and were monitored closely for side effects and tumor changes.
