NCT ID NCT04924608
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests the drug selumetinib in adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have painful, inoperable nerve tumors called plexiform neurofibromas. About 145 participants will receive either selumetinib or a placebo to see if the drug can shrink the tumors and reduce pain. The goal is to control the disease and improve quality of life, not to cure it.
