Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer Pirfenidone may slow the growth or prevent further development of plexiform neurofibromas

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of pirfenidone in treating young patients who have neurofibromatosis type 1 and plexiform neurofibroma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose or comparable dose of pirfenidone in pediatric patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 and inoperable symptomatic plexiform neurofibromas
Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients
Determine the plasma pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients
Determine preliminarily if this drug could be beneficial for pediatric patients with refractory solid tumors
Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this drug

OUTLINE This is an open-label multicenter dose-escalation study

Patients receive oral pirfenidone three times daily on days 1-28 Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pirfenidone until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

Quality of life is assessed at baseline before course 4 and then after every 6 courses

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3-18 patients will be accrued for this study within 18 months
