Detailed description of study
The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate of NF1 patients with plexiform neurofibromas treated with Sunitinib therapy using MRI scans.
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: NF-1 Plexiform Neurofibromas
-
Age: 7 years - 65 years
-
Gender: All
This study investigates the treatment of plexiform neurofibromas in patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Plexiform neurofibromas are a type of tumor that grows along nerves and can cause significant health issues. The purpose of this study is to see how these tumors respond to treatment with an investigational medication.
Participants will undergo MRI scans to monitor the response of their tumors to the investigational treatment. MRI, or Magnetic Resonance Imaging, is a medical imaging technique used to visualize internal structures of the body in detail.
- Who can participate: Participants must have Neurofibromatosis Type 1 with plexiform neurofibromas. No specific age criteria.
- Study details: Participants will receive the investigational medication Sunitinib. They will also undergo MRI scans to assess the treatment's effects on their tumors.
