Assessing the Efficacy of Repeat, Monthly Treatments of Deoxycholate for NF1 Associated Cutaneous Neurofibromas (cNFs)
United States15 participantsStarted 2025-04-08
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of multiple treatments of an FDA-approved drug in those with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) Cutaneous Neurofibromas (cNFs). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Will performing:
* Up to 6 months treatment sessions
* A minimum of 30 days apart
* With up to 50 injections of deoxycholate into a maximum of 50 cNFs in a single region of the body (for a maximum total dose of 10 mL per monthly treatment session) result in tolerable local skin reactions and reduction in both individual cNF size by \>50% as well as improved cNF appearance in the treated field?
Researchers will compare treated tumors and control tumors to see if the treatment is effective.
Participants will:
* Receive up to 6 monthly treatments with Kybella (deoxycholate). Treatment for a given tumor will be stopped when the tumor is assessed as clear clinically.
* Complete surveys asking about pain during and after treatments.
* Complete surveys asking about satisfaction with the treatments.
* Undergo 2D photography and 3D imaging of treatment areas.
* Optionally, receive biopsies of up to 6 treated lesions to investigate characteristics of tumors that respond well to treatment as well as non-respondent tumors.
