This study aims to demonstrate that in subjects with symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, TQ-B3234 capsules significantly improve the objective response rate at Week 24 compared to placebo.
Exclusion Criteria:
TQ-B3234 capsules: 50 mg once daily, one cycle every 4 weeks (28 days)
Drug: TQ-B3234 capsules
TQ-B3234 placebo: 0 mg once daily, one cycle every 4 weeks (28 days)
Drug: TQ-B3234 placebo
TQ-B3234 is an antitumor molecular targeted drug, a selective mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 and 2 (MEK1/2) inhibitor. It primarily inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) protein (an upstream regulator of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway), thereby affecting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and suppressing cell proliferation. MEK inhibitors are recognized to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.
TQ-B3234 placebo without drug substance.
IRC-Assessed Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Percentage of subjects achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by independent review committee (IRC) per REiNS criteria at the end of Cycle 24.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
Investigator-Assessed ORR
Percentage of subjects achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by investigators per REiNS criteria.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
IRC/Investigator-Assessed DOR
Duration of response (DOR), defined as the time from first documented confirmed objective response to disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
IRC/Investigator-Assessed disease control rate (DCR)
Percentage of subjects achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
IRC/Investigator-Assessed progression-free survival (PFS )
Time from randomization to first disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
IRC/Investigator-Assessed TTP
Time from randomization to first disease progression (TTP), as assessed by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
IRC/Investigator-Assessed time to response (TTR)
Time from randomization to first objective response, as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
Tumor response in subject
Difference in the best percentage change from baseline in target PN volume between groups, as assessed by IRC/investigators.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
Number of subjects with incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
Incidence and severity of adverse events from subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
Patient-reported outcomes
Patient self-assessment results from subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
Peak concentration (Cmax)
Maximum plasma drug concentration
Time frame: 2 hours after administration
Plasma concentration at steady state (Ctrough, SS)
The pre-dose concentration observed when the drug has reached steady state with repeated dosing, indicating baseline exposure and accumulation.
Time frame: Cycle 1 day 28: pre-dose, Cycle 2 day 28 pre-dose, Cycle 3 day 28: pre-dose, Cycle 6 day 28: pre-dose. (each cycle is 28 days)
Effects on pain score in subjects
Questionnaire: Numerical Rating Scale-11 (NRS-11); The line segments below all have numbers from 0 to 10, where 0 means no pain and 10 is the worst pain you can imagine.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of the 24th cycle (each cycle is 28 days)
Effects on pain interference index in subjects
Questionnaire: pain interference index; Please answer each one by circling a number from 0 to 6, where 0 means none at all and 6 means completely
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of the 24th cycle (each cycle is 28 days)
Effects on subjects' general quality of life
Questionnaire: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G); the scores from all items across its four domains are summed to obtain a total score, which ranges from 0 to 108 points.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of the 24th cycle (each cycle is 28 days)
Effects on subjects; disease-specific quality of life
Questionnaire: PedsQL NF1 Module; It includes an Adult version (\>25 years) and a Young Adult version (18-25 years), with 104 items, respectively.
Time frame: From subject enrollment to the end of the 24th cycle (each cycle is 28 days)
