About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Single Center, Phase II Trial of RAD001 as Monotherapy in the Treatment of Neurofibromatosis Type 2 - Related Vestibular Schwannoma

The purpose of the study is to determine if RAD001 treatment will shrink or slow the growth of the vestibular schwannoma(s) in Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) patients.

Read the detailed description

This protocol is a Phase II, open-label, efficacy and safety study of single-agent RAD001 in patients with NF2. During the study, subjects will receive continuous daily oral treatment with RAD001 for up to 4 years or until tumor progression.

Primary Objective: To determine whether RAD001 has an effect on the VS growth in patients with NF2 at a rate sufficient to submit the drug for further testing.

Secondary Objectives: To determine whether RAD001 has an effect on the volume of other intracranial tumors; to assess the effect of RAD001 on hearing function in patients with NF2 (when applicable); to determine whether RAD001 modulates signaling pathways in intracranial NF2 tumors removed during the course of the study. And determine the long term safety.

All patients will be treated with RAD001 10 mg p.o. daily dose (5mg if 15-17 years old with cutaneous surface area <1.5m2) for one year except in case of unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study for any other reason.

At 12 months an extension for another one year of RAD001 treatment will be discussed in case of response.

If the patient is stable (decrease or increase lower than 20%), treatment should be stopped and the patient should be kept under quarterly continuous surveillance. Resumption of treatment will be discussed case by case basis if tumor regrowth over 20% relative to the tumor volume at the end of treatment.

All patients will have a follow-up visit (including MRI) scheduled at 24 months after enrollment.

We modify the protocol to extend the treatment by RAD001 for a period of two additional years for stable patients still on treatment two years after enrollment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. effect of RAD001 on the VS growth by MRI

    To determine whether RAD001 has an effect on the VS growth in patients with NF2 at a rate sufficient to submit the drug for further testing

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effect of RAD001 on the volume of other intracranial tumors (MRI) and on hearing function (audiogram)

    To determine if RAD001 has an effect on the volume of other intracranial tumors, to assess efficacy of RAD001 on hearing function, to determine whether RAD001 modulates signaling pathways in tumors removed during the course of the study and to determine long term safety

    Measured: 1, 2 and 4 years after inclusion in the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RAD001 in people with Neurofibromatosis 2, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

effect of RAD001 on the VS growth by MRI (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01490476, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
