✓. Presence of inoperable PN , defined as a PN that cannot be surgically completely removed without risk for substantial morbidity
✓. Patients aged ≥2 with onset of disease before they were 18 years and a BSA ≥ 0.55 m2 who are able to swallow whole capsules. (approx. length 15.4 mm, diameter 5.4 mm). A swallow test must be performed before requesting drug
✓. Normal cardiac function defined as normal ejection fraction (ECHO, MUGA or cardiac MRI) as per institutional normal and absence of prior heart disease
✓. Adequate blood pressure as defined in line with local practice.
✓. The patient has exhausted all available approved therapies as appropriate for NF1 with inoperable progressive/symptomatic PN
✓. Provision of a signed informed consent prior to any protocol specific procedures. Patients already receiving selumetinib through single patient access who enroll in this protocol must be reconsented and sign the consent form for this intermediate access protocol.
