Safety and Efficacy of BMS-986504 in Unresectable Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor
United States17 participantsStarted 2026-08
Plain-language summary
People who have a cancer called MPNST, or Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor, may be eligible for this study. The purpose of this study is to see if a new medicine called BMS-986504 may work better than other available medicines for people with MPNST. Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase (MTAP) loss is a gene mutation that some people have. MTAP loss seems to increase the chance that BMS-986504 can kill MPNST cancer cells. People who are missing MTAP from their tumor may be able to enroll in this study. Treating MPNST based on MTAP loss is considered experimental and is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for determining whether BMS-98650 will be active against cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of BMS-986504 in participants with MPNST.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male or female participants ≥ 12 years of age at the time of screening.
* Ability to understand and willingness to sign documentation of informed consent if ≥ 18 years of age or documentation of assent if 12-17 years of age.
* Pathohistological verification of MPNST.
* Measurable disease (size of primary tumor and metastatic lesions can be trended by CT or MRI scans).
* Unresectable (locally advanced or metastatic) disease.
* Confirmation of homozygous MTAP deletion by next generation sequencing
* Recovery from the adverse effects of prior therapy at the time of enrollment to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 (excluding alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, and parameters superseded by other eligibility criteria \[eg, hematology parameters\]). Note: Participants with prior endocrine adverse effects are permitted to enroll if they are stably maintained on appropriate replacement therapy and are asymptomatic.
* Recovery from the acute toxic effects (≤ grade 1 as defined by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0) of all prior chemotherapy prior to the entering study (exceptions: alopecia, anorexia, mass pain).
* Normal marrow function and recovery of blood cell counts from any myelosuppressive chemotherapy prior to entering study:
* Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mcL (microliter).
* Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL (packed red blood cell transfusion is not allowed up to 14 days prior to starting BMS-986504 treatmen…
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?

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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
