Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of neurofibromatosis 2 by fulfilling National Institute of Health (NIH) criteria or Manchester criteria, or by detection of a causative mutation in the NF2 gene.
* Participants must have progressive or symptomatic meningioma. NOTE 1: Histologic confirmation of meningioma is not required in the setting of compatible radiographic appearance, NOTE2: progression is defined as an increase in target meningioma volume ≥ 20% OR ≥ 3 mm during the past 2 years.
\-- Subjects must have a target meningioma that is not amenable to surgery due to patient preference or high risk for surgical complications
* Participants must be willing and able to undergo regular MRI scans of the brain
* Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one meningioma ≥ 1.0 ml that can be accurately measured by contrast-enhanced cranial MRI scan, performed within 28 days of study registration.
* Prior surgical resection and radiation therapy for the progressive meningioma are not required for study enrollment.
* Patients must have received less than 3 prior chemotherapy regimens for progressive meningioma.
* Patients receiving dexamethasone must be able to be treated with alternative corticosteroids such as prednisone, prednisolone, or methylprednisolone in the opinion of the treating physician.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
