New hope for kids with untreatable tumors
NCT ID NCT01362803
Summary
This study tested an oral drug called selumetinib in children and young adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have plexiform neurofibromas—nerve tumors that cannot be safely removed by surgery. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink these tumors or stop them from growing, and to understand its safety and side effects. Participants took the drug twice daily for as long as it was helping and they could tolerate it.
