Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, FCN-159, to see if it can help treat patients with advanced solid tumors or neurofibromatosis type 1.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults and children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) who have plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). Adults must be aged 16-70, weigh at least 94 lbs, and children should be aged 2-15. Participants need to have a measurable lesion suitable for MRI scans, not had certain treatments recently, can swallow tablets whole, and agree to use effective contraception if applicable.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests FCN-159's safety and effectiveness against tumors caused by NF1. FCN-159 is an oral drug designed as a MEK1/2 inhibitor targeting advanced solid tumors. The trial will assess how well it tolerates in different age groups and its impact on tumor size.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the specific side effects of FCN-159 are not listed here, similar drugs often cause skin rash, diarrhea, fatigue or weakness. There may also be risks of eye problems like blurred vision or other organ-specific issues due to the inhibition of MEK pathways.
