Neurofibromatosis Clinical Trials Consortium
Overview | Consortium History | Management and Oversight | Research Site Details | Approved Trial Details | NFRP Clinical Trials
The Neurofibromatosis Clinical Trials Consortium (NFCTC, http://www.uab.edu/nfconsortium) was established by the Department of Defense Neurofibromatosis Research Program (NFRP) to develop and perform clinical trials for the treatment of neurofibromatosis (NF) complications in children and adults. The Consortium is composed of fifteen clinical sites, ten collaborating affiliate sites, and an Operations Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham under the direction of Dr. Bruce Korf. The purpose of the Operations Center is to provide administrative, data management, and statistical support to the NFCTC. Each of the clinical and collaborating sites has expertise in the treatment and management of NF and an established patient population available for clinical trials.
