Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FCN-159 in patients with specific NF2-associated nerve sheath tumors.

Detailed description

1. A phase 2 single arm single center study, total 30 patients will be enrolled; 2. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of FCN-159, a Mek inhibitor, to treat NF2; associated nerve sheath tumors, age≥16, including benign and malignant tumors; 3. Primary endpoint: Objective response rate (ORR);Secondary Outcome Measures: Clinical benefit rate (CBR);24w WRS, OS et al..

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR) estimated by investigatorsEvery 4 cycles (each cycle is 28 days), assessed up to 2 yearsInvestigator-assessed objective mitigation rate ORR (Reponse evaluation in Nerufibromatosis and Schwannomatosis, REiNS criteria and RECIST 1.1 criteria, respectively)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical benefit rate (CBR) estimated by investigatorsEvery 4 cycles (each cycle is 28 days), assessed up to 2 yearsClinical benefit rate CBR will be assessed by the investigator (REiNS criteria and RECIST 1.1 criteria respectively)
24-week word recognition score (WRS)up to 24 weeksHearing response changes will be assessed in patients with hearing impairment (24-week word recognition scores and pure tone audiometry).
pain estimated by NRSEvery 4 cycles (each cycle is 28 days), assessed up to 2 yearsChange in pain intensity score relative to baseline will be assessed according to NRS scale.
Duration of response (DOR) assessed by investigatorFrom date of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 yearsDuration of response (DoR) is estimated by the investigators as the time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death in patients who achieve complete or partial response, using both RECIST V1.1 and REINS criteria.
progression free survival (PFS) assessed by investigatorFrom date of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 yearsPFS is estimated by the investigators as the time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death in patients, using both RECIST V1.1 and REINS criteria.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
life quality assessed by NFTI-QOLEvery 4 cycles (each cycle is 28 days), assessed up to 2 yearsChange in quality of life scores relative to baseline will be assessed by Neurofibromatosis type 2 impact on quality of life (NFTI-QOL) score. The higher score means worse life quality.
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events as assessed by CTCAE 5.0During the interventionAdverse events during treatment of FCN-159 will be assessed by the investigators accroding to CTCAE 5.0.
