Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether a 28-day course of two oral drugs (mirdametinib and vorinostat) can safely shrink or change a rare, aggressive nerve sheath tumor in people with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). Up to 8 participants aged 12 and older will receive the drugs before their usual treatment (radiation and surgery). The study checks for side effects and looks at tumor changes through scans and biopsies.
