In the published article, there was an error in the FDA approval status of mirdametinib.

A correction has been made to section 6.4 Treatment of NF1, subsection 6.4.4 Targeted therapies, paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“Mirdametinib is a recently approved MEK inhibitor in July 2023 for the management of NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas (105).”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Other MEK inhibitors, mirdametinib, binimetinib, and trametinib are being investigated for the treatment of NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas (104, 105).”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
