This study is testing a combination of two drugs, Selumetinib and APG-115, to see if they are safe and effective for treating patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and certain types of nerve tumors.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find out if the drugs Selumetinib and APG-115 are safe and can help treat patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) who have specific nerve tumors that are either pre-cancerous or cancerous. The study is divided into three parts: Part A focuses on safety and dosage, Part B looks at the benefits of the treatment, and Part C examines how the drugs affect tumor growth in patients who are planning to have surgery.

Description

This clinical trial is exploring the use of two drugs, Selumetinib and APG-115, in patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) who have certain types of nerve tumors. The study is divided into three parts:

  • Part A: The main goal is to determine the safety and appropriate doses of the drugs in patients with NF1 and tumors that cannot be removed by surgery.
  • Part B: This part aims to see if the drugs provide any clinical benefits to patients with NF1 and tumors that are difficult to treat or have returned after previous treatments.
  • Part C: Researchers will evaluate how the drugs affect tumor growth in patients with pre-cancerous nerve tumors who are planning to have surgery.

Participants will undergo various tests and procedures to monitor their health and the effects of the treatment. The study will help determine if this combination of drugs can be a viable treatment option for patients with NF1 and nerve tumors.
