Tolerability of Device Based Therapies for Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas

Tolerability of Device Based Therapies for Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas

This study will evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of three FDA-approved treatments in Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Cutaneous Neurofibromas. These treatments are: a 1064nm laser, a 755nm laser, and a Kybella injection. Each patient will have a treatment and a control site.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult males and females ≥18 years of age
• Have a diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis Type 1
• Patients must be seeking treatment for cutaneous Neurofibromas
• Patients must have ≥ 6 paired cutaneous Neurofibromas (3 to be treated and 3 untreated) that are visible and measure between 2-4mm in size.
• Able and willing to comply with all visit, treatment and evaluation schedules and requirements
• Able to understand and provide written informed consent
• Access to a Smart Phone to be able to take and upload photographs to an application

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who are undergoing other treatment modalities or investigational agents for their cNF lesions
• Individuals who cannot give informed consent or adhere to study schedule
• Actively tanning during the course of the study
• Adverse reactions to compounds of any external agent (e.g., gels, lotions or anesthetic creams) required for use in the study, if no alternative to the said agent exists;
• Known allergy to injectable anesthetics or deoxycholic acid
• Any condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, would make it unsafe (for the participant or study personnel) to treat the participant as part of this research study;
• Pregnant females, due to possible discomfort with the procedure even though the procedure is localized and there is no new drug.
