Neurocutaneous syndrome

This early-stage trial is testing whether specially engineered immune cells (called CAR-T and CTL cells) and a dendritic cell vaccine can safely treat people with neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis, conditions that cause nerve tumors. The study will enroll 100 participants aged…

This study tested a drug called REC-2282 in people aged 12 and older with progressive meningiomas (brain tumors) linked to NF2 gene mutations. Participants took the drug or a placebo three times a week in cycles. The goal was to see if the drug could slow tumor growth. The trial …

This trial tests a gel called patidegib applied to the face twice daily for 9 months in people who develop many basal cell carcinomas (a common skin cancer) but do not have Gorlin syndrome. The goal is to see if the gel reduces the number of new skin cancers that would normally r…

This trial tests whether a light-activated cream (Levulan Kerastick) followed by red light therapy can slow the growth of benign skin tumors called neurofibromas in people with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). About 30 participants aged 14 and older with superficial tumors on the …

This study observes children aged 3 to 18 with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas and are starting treatment with selumetinib. Researchers will track how well the drug shrinks or stabilizes tumors, how long patients stay on tre…

This pilot study tested whether propranolol, a beta-blocker, could shrink or stabilize kidney angiomyolipomas in people with tuberous sclerosis. Only 2 participants were enrolled before the trial was terminated, so the results are very limited. The goal was to find a less invasiv…

This early-stage study tested a new drug called PF-07284892, alone or with other medicines, in people with advanced solid tumors that had specific genetic changes. The goal was to find the safest dose and check for side effects. The study was stopped early, so results are limited…

This early-phase trial tested combinations of the drugs bevacizumab and temsirolimus, sometimes with valproic acid or cetuximab, in 154 people with advanced cancers or certain non-cancerous but progressive diseases. The main goal was to find safe doses and look for any signs that…

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called DFF332, which targets a protein (HIF2α) that helps some cancers grow. The study included 40 adults with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma or other cancers with specific gene changes. DFF332 was tested alone and in combination…

This early-phase trial tested the drug AR-42 in 7 adults with vestibular schwannoma or meningioma brain tumors who were already scheduled for surgery. Participants took AR-42 pills for about 3 weeks before their operation. The main goal was to see if the drug could lower a protei…

This study tested a sirolimus cream (0.2% and 0.4%) applied daily for 12 weeks to treat facial angiofibromas in children aged 2-21 with tuberous sclerosis complex. The goal was to see if the cream could safely reduce the size and redness of these skin growths. The trial was termi…

This phase 3 study tested the drug ganaxolone as an add-on treatment for seizures in children and adults with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The trial was open-label, meaning everyone received the drug, and it included 117 people who had previously been in related studies. The…

This study tested a cannabidiol (CBD) oral solution in children under 2 years old with tuberous sclerosis complex, Dravet syndrome, or Lennox-Gastaut syndrome who had uncontrolled seizures. The goal was to see if CBD is safe and can reduce seizures. However, the study was termina…

This early-stage study looked at how two common drugs (carbamazepine and itraconazole) change the levels of radiprodil in the blood of 30 healthy adults. The goal was to understand safety and dosing for future use in neurological conditions like tuberous sclerosis. However, the s…
