What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests several drugs in people with NF2-related schwannomatosis, a condition that causes tumors on nerves and in the brain. The study uses a flexible 'platform' design to evaluate treatments for four tumor types: vestibular schwannomas, non-vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, and ependymomas. Participants receive either selumetinib alone or a combination of luvometinib and serplulimab, with a separate observation group serving as a comparison.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
selumetinib, luvometinib plus serplulimab
What this could lead to
If successful, this trial could identify effective drug treatments for multiple tumor types in NF2-related schwannomatosis, potentially shrinking tumors and improving hearing.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase platform trial, so results are preliminary. Not all drugs may work, and side effects from the combinations could limit their use.

Eligibility Specific For MASTER STUDY Inclusion Criteria: Subjects must satisfy all of the following criteria to be enrolled into the main study natural history observation cohort: (1) Must meet the 2022 International Consensus Criteria for NF2-SWN, defined by having at least one of the following: 1. Bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) 2. An identical NF2 pathogenic variant in at least 2 anatomically distinct NF2-related tumors (schwannoma, meningioma, and/or ependymoma). (Note: if the variant allele fraction (VAF) in unaffected tissues such as blood is clearly \<50%, the diagnosis is mosaic NF2-related schwannomatosis) 3. Either 2 major or 1 major and 2 minor criteria as described in the following: Major criteria: * Unilateral VS * First-degree relative other than sibling with NF2-related schwannomatosis * 2 or more meningiomas (Note: single meningioma qualifies as minor criteria). * NF2 pathogenic variant in an unaffected tissue such as blood (Note: if the VAF is clearly \<50%, the diagnosis is mosaic NF2-related schwannomatosis) Minor criteria: Can count \>1 of a type (eg, 2 distinct schwannomas would count as 2 minor criteria) * Ependymoma, meningioma (Note: multiple meningiomas qualify as a major criteria), schwannoma (Note: if the major criterion is unilateral VS, at least 1 schwannoma must be dermal in location) Can count only once (eg, bilateral cortical cataracts count as a single minor criterion) * Juvenile subcapsular or cortical cataract, retinal hamartoma, epiretinal membrane in a person aged \<40 years, meningioma (2) Presence of at least one evaluable lesion: Vestibular schwannoma, meningioma, or non-vestibular schwannoma: clearly identifiable lesion on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI; Ependymoma: clearly identifiable lesion on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted or T2/FLAIR sequences; (3) Expected ability to complete at least 12 months of follow-up assessments; (4) Ability to understand and voluntarily sign a written informed consent form, or a legally authorized guardian signs the informed consent form together ; (5) Sub-study-specific criteria (for intervention arms only): If the subject intends to enter an interventional sub-study, in addition to meeting the above main study criteria, the subject must also satisfy the specific inclusion criteria specified in that sub-study protocol (e.g., organ function, prior treatment restrictions, washout periods, etc.), as determined by the drug characteristics. Exclusion Criteria: Subjects meeting any of the following criteria will not be permitted to enter the main study: 1. Coexisting other genetic syndromes that may cause multiple intracranial tumors (e.g., SMARCB1/LZTR1-related schwannomatosis, Cowden syndrome); 2. Expected survival \<12 months; 3. Presence of severe psychiatric disorders or cognitive impairment that precludes cooperation with imaging or hearing assessments; 4. Extreme social or geographic factors that, in the investigator's judgment, may impede follow-up for more than 12 months; 5. Sub-study-specific exclusion criteria (for intervention arms only): If the subject intends to enter an interventional sub-study, the subject must also satisfy the specific exclusion criteria specified in that sub-study protocol (e.g., specific organ dysfunction, active infection, pregnancy, etc.).
