AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have plexiform neurofibromas. These are nerve tumors that cause symptoms and cannot be removed by surgery. It compares TQ-B3234 capsules with a placebo (dummy capsule).
- Age
- 18 years or older.
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Plexiform neurofibroma linked to NF1 that causes symptoms, cannot be removed by surgery and needs whole-body drug treatment. At least one lesion must be measurable and at least 3 cm (1.2 in) in size. People must be fully active or able to do light work (ECOG 0-1).
- Earlier treatment
- No big change in long-term nerve pain medicines within 28 days before joining. No other PN trial drugs within 4 weeks before the first dose.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Confirmed or suspected malignant glioma or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST).
- Other cancer within 5 years before the first dose.
- Problems taking in drugs by mouth, such as trouble swallowing or long-term diarrhea.
- Certain eye diseases, such as retinal vein occlusion or glaucoma, or being unable to have an MRI.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding, HIV-positive or other immune deficiency, dialysis, or an organ or bone marrow transplant.
