Phenotypic Determinants of Vestibular Schwannomas

The goal of this project is to examine the role of regulatory regions in the NF2 gene in schwannomas and further identify and understand factors which affect phenotypic expression in vestibular schwannomas.

Preclinical testing of a novel PDK1 inhibitor for treating vestibular schwannoma.
Vestibular schwannomas (VS), brain tumors arising from the balance nerve, are one of the few deadly diseases of the ear, and patients with VS are currently treated with high risk modalities such as surgery and/or radiation therapy because no effective drugs are available. Our proposal seeks to study OSU-03012, a new drug that may revolutionize the treatment of VS. We plan to better understand how OSU-03012 inhibits VS tumor growth and profile its safety/efficacy parameters in order to transition this drug into human clinical trials.
