Drug delivered straight to spinal fluid targets cancer spread to brain lining

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged ≥ 18 years of any gender; histologically confirmed solid tumor; signed informed consent form. 2. Patients with Type I LMD (defined as positive cerebrospinal fluid cytology or positive leptomeningeal biopsy) or Type II LMD (diagnosed based on clinical manifestations and neuroimaging alone) according to the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO)-European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) clinical practice guidelines;patients with treatment-naive LMD or recurrent LMD after radiotherapy. 3. Investigators assess that immediate radiotherapy for leptomeningeal lesions is not required, or the patient declines radiotherapy. 4. Expected survival ≥ 6 weeks. 5. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% measured by echocardiogram; adequate organ and bone marrow function. 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-4. 7. All enrolled subjects will be stratified into 2 predefined cohorts based on tumor HER2 status: Cohort 1: Patients with leptomeningeal disease secondary to solid tumors without HER2 protein overexpression and without HER2-activating mutations; Cohort 2: Patients with leptomeningeal disease secondary to solid tumors with HER2 protein overexpression or harboring HER2-activating mutations. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of severe central nervous system (CNS) complications, such as progressive cerebral edema; recurrent seizures refractory to standardized antiepileptic therapy. Note: "refractory recurrent seizures" refers to persistent clinical seizures despite adequate standardized antiepileptic treatment. Subjects with a prior history of epilepsy with long-term seizure control on medication are not excluded by this criterion. 2. Receipt of whole-brain radiotherapy or other intrathecal therapies within the recent 4 weeks, which may interfere with efficacy assessment. 3. History of active interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonia. 4. Concurrent severe systemic diseases, including but not limited to: 4.1 Active autoimmune disease or CNS infection; 4.2 Active infections (e.g., pulmonary tuberculosis, active hepatitis B, HIV infection); 4.3 Moderate to severe hepatic or renal dysfunction (alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 3 × ULN, creatinine clearance (CrCl) \< 30 ml/min); 4.4 Uncontrolled heart failure, severe arrhythmia or hypertension; 4.5 Known inherited or acquired bleeding/thrombotic tendency (e.g., hemophilia, coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia); and/or coagulation disorders (international normalized ratio (INR) \> 2.0, prothrombin time (PT) \> 16 s) with bleeding risk, or receiving thrombolysis or anticoagulant treatment. 5. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to the study drug or its components. 6. Major surgery or severe traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrollment.
