Clinical trials are an exciting and important opportunity for people with NF1 and NF2 to make a difference in their own lives as well as the lives of others affected with NF1 and NF2. When you participate in a clinical trial or study you are:

  • Receiving the most advanced care.
  • Giving to future generations of people living with NF1 and NF2.
  • Helping to change the way we practice medicine.
