- Conditions
- Neurofibromatosis 1
- Interventions
- Dietary Supplement: curcumin, high phenolic extra virgin olive oil (HP-EVOO)
- Registration Number
- NCT05363267
- Lead Sponsor
- Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota
- Brief Summary
The treatment plan is identical for all participants with the exception of the curcumin dose level that is assigned at study enrollment. Participants are instructed to take the curcumin and olive oil one after the other (order does not matter) twice a day on an empty stomach ideally 30 minutes before breakfast and dinner.

Group Intervention Description Curcumin with high phenolic extra virgin olive oil (HP-EVOO) curcumin, high phenolic extra virgin olive oil (HP-EVOO) Identical for all participants with the exception of the curcumin dose level, which is assigned at study enrollment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary objective of this study is to establish the safety and preliminary activity of curcumin and oleocanthal-rich olive oil supplementation in adult NF-1 persons with cutaneous neurofibromas. End of treatment (12 months) The safety of this supplementation will be measured by the incidence of unacceptable/dose limiting toxicity (DLT) as defined any new Grade 2 or greater toxicity (based on CTCAE v 5).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Characterize the toxicities associated with the planned intervention 4 weeks after 1st dose of curcumin Incidence of unacceptable/dose limiting toxicity defined as any new ≥Grade 2 toxicity (based on CTCAE v 5) that cannot be attributed to the disease under treatment or other reason.
To evaluate the effect of the intervention on BMI End of Treatment (12 months) The BMI will be measures across dose level group 95% confidence intervals.
To determine preliminary efficacy of the intervention End of treatment (12 months) Measure the volumetric measurement of target plexiform neurofibroma (% difference from baseline will be reported)
To identify issues with compliance to the planned intervention End of treatment (12 months) Incidence of study deviations
To evaluate the effect of the intervention on lipid panel End of Treatment (12 months) The lipid panel will be measures across dose level group 95% confidence intervals.
To assess the effect of the intervention on quality of life End of treatment (12 months) Focused on skin related morbidity and pain will be evaluated using the average and range of SkinDex scale (0-100)
