Exclusion Criteria for Master Study: Participants who have had chemotherapy within a minimum of 4 weeks prior to Master Study registration (or a minimum of 5 half-lives and resolution to baseline of toxicities unless there are irreversible toxicities from prior drug that do not influence risk of next drug). Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents. Participants with nervous system tumors that, in the opinion of the treating investigator, are likely to require active treatment (including surgery) within 6 months of registration to the Master Study. History of a malignancy in the last 3 years, unless (a) have been disease-free for at least 2 years or (b) are deemed by the treating investigator to be at low risk for progression or recurrence of that malignancy (e.g., carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma, Gleason 6 prostate cancer) in the next 2 years Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. Exclusion Criteria for Sub-study A - Siltuximab or Placebo Arm: Subject has a history of allergic or anaphylactic reaction to a therapeutic or diagnostic monoclonal antibody or IgG fusion protein. The subject's pain is related to a non-schwannomatosis cause such as prior cancer therapy, infection, bowel obstruction/perforation, spinal cord compression, or fracture or impending fracture of weight bearing bone. Subjects at increased risk for GI perforation including documented history of GI perforation, mesenteric ischemia, or intestinal volvulus; or chronic use of high dose glucocorticoids (particularly in combination with NSAIDs) Any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol. Treatment with any investigational products within 1 month or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the first dose of study drug Had major surgery within 30 days of the first dose of siltuximab. Minor surgical procedures such as catheter placement or minimally invasive biopsies are allowed.
