Innovative Trial for Understanding the Impact of Targeted Therapies in Neurofibromatosis Type 2 - Related Schwannomatosis, The INTUITT-NF2 Trial

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

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.
