Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Be younger than 18 years old
Must not have
Claustrophobia, problems being in enclosed spaces, or inability to lie facing upwards.
Requiring sedation for imaging.
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up from baseline to 12 months
Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial uses a full-body scan and smart computer software to monitor changes in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1. The MRI takes detailed images, and the AI analyzes them to track any changes over time.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for pediatric patients aged 5 to less than 18 with confirmed Neurofibromatosis Type 1. It's open even if they turn 18 during the study. However, it excludes those needing sedation for imaging, with allergies to animal dander or asthma triggered by animals, ferromagnetic implants or foreign bodies, and claustrophobia.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new whole-body MRI technique paired with AI in detecting pre-malignant lesions in kids with Neurofibromatosis Type 1. The goal is to check how reliable the scans are over time and predict changes from initial scan to follow-up at one year.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves MRI scans which are non-invasive, there are typically no direct side effects associated with the procedure itself. However, discomfort due to lying still or being in an enclosed space may occur.

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary study objectives
Radionuclide Imaging
Secondary study objectives
For change over time, the initial scan imaging using T1 and apparent diffusion coefficient (ACD) imaging, the baseline scan will be compared to the third scan, which is performed 12 months (+/- 3 months) after the baseline scan.
