New platform trial takes on NF2 tumors with multiple drug strategies
NCT ID NCT07713745
First seen Jul 20, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.).
