Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of the drug zorifertinib plus chemotherapy delivered directly into the fluid around the brain and spine. It is for people with a specific type of lung cancer (NSCLC with EGFR mutation) whose cancer has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord after previous treatment.
