Filter by:Background/Rationale: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) affects about 1 in every 3000 people worldwide. Globally, 30~50% NF1 patients will develop plexiform neurofibromas (PNs), which grow rapidly in early childhood and can cause disfigurement, motor dysfunction, pain, airway dysfunction, visual impairment and bladder and bowel dysfunction. This systemic disease imposes a heavy psychosomatic and financial burden on patients and their caregivers. In NF1 patients, the lifetime risk of MPNST developed from PN is 8% to 13%. The mean age for NF1-associated death was approximately 20 years lower than that for the general population. Limited epidemiological and clinical data of Chinese NF1 patients is available to date. And the treatment pattern of Chinese NF1-PN patients is also unknown. Objectives and Hypotheses: It is a descriptive study without formal hypothesis. The primary objective of this study is determining the percentage of NF1 patients who develop PN. The secondary objectives of this study include describing the clinical characteristics, tumor progression and treatment pattern of NF1-PN. The exploratory objective is exploring the epidemiological characteristics of other NF1 manifestations. Methods: Study design: The study is a retrospective multi-center chart review study. Data Source(s): All the data will be collected by CRF from inpatient and outpatient electronic medical records in every study site from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022. Study Population: Patients who attended the study sites between January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2022 and were diagnosed with NF1 were included in this study. Statistical Analysis: This study is purely descriptive without any formal hypotheses. Missing data for baseline characteristics will be assessed and addressed as a categorical variable with a level for missingness. All reported measures will be summarized in the study tables. Point estimates and their 95% CIs will be presented in the final analyses.
This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of Chinese pediatric NF1-PN patients treated with selumetinib. The study will be conducted at approximately 12 centers in China and will include approximately 80-100 patients. Treatment centers that have PN diagnosis and/or selumetinib treatment experience will be targeted for recruitment. Patients/caregivers who are eligible and willing to participate will be enrolled into the study. Patients will start selumetinib treatment after enrollment. The study will have a 16-month enrollment period. Patients will be followed up until the end of a 24-month observation period after first dose of selumetinib, or patient death, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, whichever occurs first. Patients will be followed within a 24-month period (starting after first dose received) in the study even if selumetinib is discontinued. The aims of this study are to expand understanding of disease characteristics and treatment pattern of NF1-PN in China in a real-world setting and to evaluate real-world effectiveness and safety of selumetinib for Chinese pediatric patients with NF1-PN
This is a Phase 1/2a, open-label, non-randomized, multi-dose study of mirdametinib monotherapy in adults with NF1 and cNF. In both Phases of the study, participation in the study will comprise three periods: screening, treatment and post-study safety follow-up to be performed at the NF1 and cNF specialty center: Johns Hopkins University.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of skin cooling in increasing tolerability of four treatments in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas. These treatments are: a 980nm laser, a 755nm laser, radio-frequency injection, and a Kybella injection. Each patient will have a treatment and a control site..
This study will evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of two treatments in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas. These treatments are: Kybella and Asclera injection. Each patient will have a treatment and a control site.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether avutometinib is a safe treatment for advanced or recurrent solid tumor cancers in children and young adults. Researchers will look for the highest dose of avutometinib that is safe and cause few or mild side effects.
The goal of this observational study is to conduct a prospective assessment of the individual Burden of 9 rare skin diseases to assess disability in the broadest sense of the term (psychological, social, economic and physical) for patients and/or families. Two types of indicators will be used to reach this objective : 1. an individual burden score calculated based on a burden questionnaire created specifically, approved and designed to understand the tendency to changes in care and lifestyles. The burden questionnaire should be used by patients and/or their family themselves in self-assessment. 2. a descriptive analysis of all resources (medical and non-medical) used by the family unit to manage the disease.
A study to evaluate the efficacy of FCN-159 in adult patients with symptomatic, inoperable neurofibromatosis type 1-related plexiform neurofibromas.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a common genetic disease with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations in multiple organs of the body. This project will study the (dys)function of mitochondria in patients with neurofibromatosis through multiple collections of blood samples from patients and people not afflicted by neurofibromatosis (control group). This study will evaluate how the function of mitochondria changes with time and if medications and supplements can influence the function of the mitochondria. Patients will also answer questions regarding symptoms like fatigue and pain.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety of selumetinib and patient's parameters of symptomatic inoperable PN NF1 in real clinical practice in Russia
