Study Summary

This trial is testing an antibody that may help relieve pain in people with schwannomatosis who are already taking other pain medications.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with moderate to severe pain from schwannomatosis, who've tried and failed at least three standard treatments. They must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to use two contraception methods if applicable, avoid certain medications including NSAIDs, and have normal organ/marrow function. Excluded are those with recent surgery or therapy for schwannomatosis-related tumors, history of allergic reactions to monoclonal antibodies, substance abuse within six months prior to screening.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Tanezumab—an antibody against nerve growth factor—to see if it can relieve pain in patients with schwannomatosis better than a placebo. Participants will continue their non-NSAID background therapy during the study.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Tanezumab may cause side effects such as joint problems (like osteoarthritis), nerve damage that could lead to numbness or tingling sensations, potential heart issues like irregular heartbeat, and general symptoms like headache or nausea.
