Official title
Pilot Study of Medication Adherence in Children, Adolescents, and Adults With Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) on Clinical Treatment Trials
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder. It has a broad variety of effects on the body. Up to half of people with NF1 get plexiform neurofibromas (PNs). These are benign tumors. But they can have serious effects like pain and disfigurement. To treat PNs, a person may have to take medicine every day for a long period of time. Researchers think that it will be important for people to take the medicine regularly for it to work. They want to study how well people with NF1 follow their treatment plan for PNs. Objective: To study how often people with neurofibromatosis type 1 take medicine that has been prescribed to them for treating plexiform neurofibromas. Eligibility: People ages 3-59 already enrolled in an NF1 clinical trial Design: Participants will need access to the internet to do the study activities. Parents or caregivers will do some study activities for child participants. Participants will complete 5 questionnaires. They will take about 20 minutes total. The topics will be: Demographic data Recent life events How much pain interferes with daily life Ability to focus and pay attention to tasks Emotional distress or depression Participants will mark down every time they take a dose of the medicine in their clinical trial. They will use a form the researchers give them. The pill bottles they get in their trial will have a chip in the cap that will record when it is opened. Participants will keep a daily diary of their medicine. Their pills will be counted at clinical trial visits. Participants may have more short questionnaires. They may have interviews by phone or video.
