| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: • measure steady-state plasma concentrations and intra-tumoural concentrations of nilotinib in CS after 14 days of oral dosing with nilotinib. • investigate PDFG, Erk phosphorylation, apoptosis, and Ki67 labelling in tumour and blood, before and after treatment with nilotinib to assess molecular activity of nilotinib in CS. ; Main Objective: • To ensure molecular target inhibition occurs with oral nilotinib in NF2 patients with CS. • To determine whether target inhibition in serum with oral nilotinib in NF2 patients with ICS can act as a biomarker ;Primary end point(s): OPEN LABEL PHASE 0 STUDY (after discussion with MHRA as licensed drug this is equivalent to phase IV for the purposes of this application) | — |
