LEPTOMENINGEAL METASTASIS

This early-phase study is testing whether a combination of low-dose radiation to the whole brain, an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor), and chemotherapy given directly into the spinal fluid can safely treat lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord.…

This study tests a higher dose of a targeted therapy (EGFR-TKI) combined with two other drugs for people with advanced lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and worsened on standard treatment. About 30 participants will receive the triple combination to see if it…

This trial is testing a higher, every-other-day dose of the drug furmonertinib in people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant NSCLC) that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). The study will compare this high-dose schedule …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of pemetrexed (given into the spinal fluid) and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for people with a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-mutant NSCLC) that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis) after the d…

This early study tests whether injecting two cancer drugs (pemetrexed and bevacizumab) directly into the spinal fluid is safe for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain. The trial will enroll 19 adults whose cancer has worsened despi…

This study tests a chemotherapy drug called pemetrexed, given directly into the spinal fluid, for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. The cancer must have gotten worse even after taking a high dose of a targeted t…

This study is for people with HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain (leptomeningeal metastasis). It compares standard chemotherapy given through the veins or by mouth to the same treatment plus extra chemotherapy delivered directly into the spinal…

This study tests a combination of two oral chemotherapy drugs (tucatinib and capecitabine) plus a targeted antibody given directly into the spinal fluid (trastuzumab) for people with HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord (leptomeni…

This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (pemetrexed) directly into the spinal fluid, alongside a targeted pill (like osimertinib), works better than the pill alone for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has spread to the brain lining. About 100 adults wit…

This study looks at how much of the drug T-DXd enters brain tumors in people with HER2-positive brain cancers or glioblastoma. Thirty participants will receive T-DXd before surgery to remove a brain tumor, and researchers will measure drug levels in the tumor. The goal is to see …
