Filter by:As part of a post-approval commitment, the Korean health authority requests a study to characterize safety and effectiveness in patients treated with Koselugo (Selumetinib), an oral selective inhibitor of MAPK kinase (MEK) 1 and 2, by physicians in routine clinical practice settings. This study is designed to assess the known safety profile or identify previously unsuspected adverse reactions and evaluate the effectiveness of Koselugo under conditions of routine daily medical practice in Korea. This study will provide information on the Korean patient population that is treated with the study drug.
This study will evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of four FDA-approved treatments in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas. These treatments are: a 1064nm laser, a 755nm laser, and Kybella and Polidocanol injections. Each patient will have a treatment and a control site. This study is designed with the goal of improved efficacy/tumor reduction via multiple treatment visits. If there is minimal to no clinical improvement in tumor size with one treatment after three treatment visits, the subject will be given the option of crossover treatment with the most effective of the four treatments. Three treatment visits with the crossover treatment will then take place.
The goal of this fully decentralized, randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of two educational interventions for individuals with Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1). The primary objective of the study is to determine which intervention leads to higher rates of evidenced-based health screenings for NF1 patients in primary care settings. Adults with NF1 and parents/guardians of children with NF1 from across the U.S. who do not go to a specialized NF clinic and who have an upcoming annual wellness visits scheduled with a primary care provider (PCP) are eligible to enroll in the study.
Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disease that can cause many symptoms. About half of people with NF1 will develop benign (noncancerous) tumors along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body. Sometimes, though, these tumors can become cancerous. Researchers do not yet know how to predict which tumors will become cancerous. Objective: To test a new method for predicting which benign NF1 tumors will become cancerous. Eligibility: People aged 3 years and older with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of NF1. Design: - Participants will be screened with a review of their medical history. All participants will have a baseline visit. They will have bood tests and imaging scans. They will have a physical exam. They will answer questions about their family history. Participants aged 8 years and older will take tests of their thinking skills and their emotional health. - Some participants may be asked to undergo more tests. These may include another type of imaging scan and a biopsy: A small sample of tissue may be removed from the tumor. - Participants will be divided into two groups: those believed to be at low risk and those believed to be at high risk of developing cancer. - Participants in the high-risk group will be asked to return for their next visit in 1 month to 3 years. - Participants in the low-risk group will be asked to return for their next visit in 6 months to 5 years. - Participants may also have follow-up visits by phone throughout the study. They will be in the study for 10 years....
Plexiform neurofibromas (PN) are known to cause significant morbidity in children with NF1. The recent FDA approval for selumetinib in children 2 years and older with inoperable symptomatic PN was based on the finding that selumetinib shrinks the majority of PN in children with NF1 and results in clinically meaningful benefit such as improvement in pain or range of motion. However, many morbidities, such as blindness or nerve damage, cannot be fully reversed with PN shrinkage. Therefore, there remains a critical need in this patient population to determine if young participants with PN in high-risk locations may benefit from early medical intervention prior to the development of clinical problems. This study will determine whether participants with asymptomatic PN in high-risk locations can potentially benefit from early treatment with selumetinib.
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 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.
