Innovative Trial for Understanding the Impact of Targeted Therapies in Neurofibromatosis Type 2 - Related Schwannomatosis, The INTUITT-NF2 Trial
This phase II trial investigates targeted therapies and how well they work for patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2)-related Schwannomatosis (SWN). This trial may allow patients with multiple tumor types associated with NF2 to receive new drugs throughout the study. The trial consists of a master study and treatment arms called sub-studies. The master study is intended to enroll patients who will be placed into different sub-studies. The brigatinib sub-study investigates a drug called brigatinib, which acts by blocking the activity of growth pathways in tumors. Because tumors need these signals to grow, brigatinib may slow or reverse the growth of the tumors that develop in people with neurofibromatosis type 2. The neratinib sub-study investigates a drug called neratinib. Neratinib is a type of inhibitor that inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and HER4. By stopping this signaling from working, neratinib may cause tumor cells to stop growing.

Therefore, female patients participating in this study should avoid becoming pregnant, and male patients should avoid impregnating a female partner. Non-sterilized female patients of reproductive age group and male patients should use effective methods of contraception through defined periods during and after study treatment as specified below: * Female patients must meet 1 of the following: ** Postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, or ** Surgically sterile, or ** If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception from the time of signing of the informed consent form through 4 months after the last dose of study drug, or agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse.

OUTLINE:
MASTER STUDY: Patients are first enrolled into the master study and then randomized to a treatment sub-study if eligible. Patients with disease progression on a treatment sub-study may be permitted to enroll in another treatment sub-study if eligible. Patients who are not eligible for enrollment in a different treatment sub-study are permitted to remain under observation on the master study for up to 10 years. Patients also undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening and on study, as well as blood sample collection on study.
BRIGATINIB SUB-STUDY: Patients receive brigatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo MRI and may undergo x-ray on study.
NERATINIB SUB-STUDY: Patients receive neratinib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan at baseline and as clinically indicated on study. Patients undergo MRI and may undergo a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and/or x-ray on study.
After completion of sub-study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks and then every 6-12 months for up to 10 years.
