Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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
NameTimeMethod
Characterize the toxicities associated with the planned intervention4 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 BMIEnd of Treatment (12 months)

The BMI will be measures across dose level group 95% confidence intervals.

To determine preliminary efficacy of the interventionEnd 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 interventionEnd of treatment (12 months)

Incidence of study deviations

To evaluate the effect of the intervention on lipid panelEnd 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 lifeEnd of treatment (12 months)

Focused on skin related morbidity and pain will be evaluated using the average and range of SkinDex scale (0-100)
