NCT ID NCT06146010
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study creates a registry for people with leptomeningeal disease, a rare condition where cancer spreads to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Researchers will collect information on how the disease progresses, what treatments are used, and any side effects. The goal is to better understand the disease and improve future care.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The majority of patients observed are capable of giving consent. However, tumors of the central nervous system can lead to a psychosyndrome that restricts the patient's ability to give consent. Nevertheless, it is important to document and evaluate the course of the disease and the effects of the therapies administered, especially in these patients.
