Early trial tests drug combo to shrink rare, tough nerve tumors

NCT ID NCT04465643

Summary

This small, early-phase study tested whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and ipilimumab) before standard surgery or other treatments was safe and feasible for people with a rare, aggressive type of nerve tumor. The trial involved 13 participants with these tumors, often linked to a genetic condition called Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). The main goals were to check for side effects and see if the treatment approach was practical.
