PAS-004 in Adults Who Have Neurofibromatosis Type 1 With Plexiform Neurofibromas
United States, Australia, South Korea56 participantsStarted 2025-05-30
Plain-language summary
The main purpose of this clinical trial is to test PAS-004 in people with at least one symptomatic plexiform neurofibroma due to Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* How well participants are able tolerate different doses of PAS-004, and
* What side effects PAS-004 might have.
This study will have two parts, Part A and Part B. The main goal of Part A of this study is to learn more about how participants tolerate different doses of PAS-004, and what side effects PAS-004 might have. What we learn from Part A of the study will help decide what doses of the study drug (PAS-004) should be used in Part B of the study, and if it is safe.
In Part B, two different doses from Part A will be tested. The main goal of this part of the study is to keep studying any side effects of PAS-004 at those two dose levels, and to learn more about if the doses picked for this part of the study might have an effect on plexiform neurofibromas.
Participants in Part A of the study who were taking doses selected for Part B may be able to continue on to Part B and keep taking the same dose of PAS-004 for 6 more months.
Study participants in both parts will have regular visits to the study doctor and be asked to have tests and exams done to check on their health and safety, including blood draws and MRIs. Everyone participating in the study will take PAS-004 by mouth once a day during the study, in 28-day cycles. Participants will be asked to keep a diary to record their daily dose of study drug.
Participants will continue on daily PAS-004 for up to 6 months, or until:
* They decide to withdraw from the study, or
* They experience unacceptable side effects, or
* Their disease progresses, or another illness interferes with taking the study drug, or
* The sponsor selects a dose level to study further in the next part of the study, or
* The sponsor stops the study.

Inclusion criteria
✓. Participant is capable of providing informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements, prohibitions and restrictions listed in the informed consent form.
✓. Participant has been informed both verbally and in writing about the objectives of the clinical study, the methods, the anticipated benefits, the potential risks, and the discomfort to which they may be exposed and has given written consent to participation in the study prior to study start and any study-related procedure.
✓. Participant must be at least 18 years of age at the signing of the informed consent form (ICF).
✓. Participant must be able to swallow oral medication.
✓. Performance status: Participant must have a Karnofsky performance level of ≥70%. Note: Participants who are wheelchair bound because of paralysis secondary to a PN should be considered ambulatory when they are in the wheelchair. Similarly, participants with limited mobility secondary to the need for mechanical support (such as an airway PN requiring tracheostomy or CPAP) will also be considered ambulatory for the purposes of this study.
✓. Participant has been diagnosed with NF1 based upon the following diagnostic criteria:
✓. Measurable is defined as: 1. non-pedunculated (no stalk) 2. surrounded by visually uninvolved skin and not in physical contact with another CN, 3. measuring between 6 and 15 mm in the longest diameter and exophytic on visual exam (not macular).
What they're measuring
1
Part A: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PAS-004 when administered for one 28-day treatment cycle
Timeframe: Part A from enrollment (Day 1) through Day 28 (completion of Cycle 1)
2
Part B: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of PAS-004 when administered for six 28-day treatment cycle
Timeframe: Part B from enrollment (Day 1) through Day 168 (completion of Cycle 6) [each cycle is 28 days]
✓. At least seven CN should be located on the trunk, neck, and/or limbs measuring between 6 and 15 mm in maximal diameter, and "measurable" as per the definition listed above.
Exclusion criteria
✕. Participant has participated in another interventional clinical study within 28 days of starting PAS-004.
✕. Participant has received chemotherapy for any indication within 90 days of starting PAS-004.
✕. Participant has ongoing side effects from prior chemotherapy that are worse than mild (except alopecia). ("Mild" is defined as Asymptomatic or mild symptoms, clinical or diagnostic observations only, or intervention not indicated.)
✕. Participant has received treatment with any PN-directed drug or biologic therapy within 14 days of starting PAS-004.
✕. Participant has received treatment with a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor or inducer, or moderate inducers for CYP2C8 and CYP2C9 within 14 days of starting PAS-004, or any drug considered a major substrate of the enzymes above with a narrow therapeutic index except for topical skin use, as judged by the Investigator and Sponsor.
✕. Participant has received growth factors to increase the number or function of platelets or white blood cells within 7 days of starting PAS-004.
✕. Participant has received radiotherapy, major surgery, or immunotherapy within 28 days of starting PAS-004.
✕. Participant has malignant tumors associated with NF1 requiring chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery, such as intermediate- to high-grade gliomas or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
