NCT06621082

Brief Summary

This study focused on patients with type I neurofibromatosis undergoing surgical treatment, who currently lack effective drug therapy and have a high recurrence rate after surgical resection. For patients with small solid tumors, limited space, and no invasion of the brain, spine and other important organs, surgical treatment is the main treatment. As a MEK inhibitor, Smetinib bisulfate capsule can induce tumor shrinkage and reduce postoperative recurrence by selectively binding mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) 1/2 protein to block the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal regulatory kinase signaling pathway that regulates key cell responses. The purpose of this study was to treat patients with type I neurofibromatosis with indications of surgery with the drug smetinib bisulfate after surgical treatment, observe the therapeutic effect of the drug in stages, consolidate the postoperative effect and reduce the recurrence rate. In this study, progression-free survival (PFS) after postoperative drug treatment was used as the main outcome index, and duration of remission (DOR) and objective response rate (ORR) were used as secondary outcome indicators to investigate the efficacy of the use of Smetinib hydrosulfate capsule on tumor control, reduction of recurrence rate and stability of efficacy in patients with type I neurofibromatosis after surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 2-year progression-free survival (2-year PFS rate)

    Refers to the rate of postoperative patients who are free of tumor progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first) within 2 years from the start of treatment in the trial.

    Within 2 years from the start of treatment in the trial

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Duration of remission

    Within 2 years from the start of treatment in the trial

  • Objective response rate

    Within 2 years from the start of treatment in the trial

Study Arms (1)

Postoperative drug group

EXPERIMENTAL

This study started from the recruitment of subjects, confirmed diagnosis by clinical diagnosis and pathological biopsy, preliminary screening according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and signing of informed consent. Patients who were evaluated as indications for surgical resection and underwent surgical treatment were treated with Smetinib bisulfate capsules. PFS, ORR, and DOR were evaluated after 6 cycles of administration of Simetinib bisulfate capsules (20-50mg bid) daily for 30 days, as individualized by patient body surface area (BSA).

Drug: Selumetinib

Interventions

After surgical resection,based on the patient's body surface area (BSA), the patient was given an oral dose of Simetinib bisulfate capsule (20-50mg bid) daily for 30 days for 6 cycles

Postoperative drug group
