New hope for brain lining cancer: spinal tap chemo after targeted drug fails
NCT ID NCT06296745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 therapy like osimertinib. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and can control the cancer in the brain lining.
