ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to study a new treatment approach for patients with leptomeningeal metastasis, which is a type of cancer spread to the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Specifically, the trial will compare the combined use of a higher dose of a targeted cancer drug (called a third-generation EGFR-TKI) along with a chemotherapy drug delivered directly into the spinal fluid (called intrathecal pemetrexed) against using just the higher dose of the targeted drug alone. The goal is to see which method is more effective and safer for patients who have experienced progression of their cancer after standard treatment.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have advanced non-small cell lung cancer with specific genetic mutations. They should have shown progression of their condition after previous treatments and have stable brain lesions. Patients with certain health conditions, recent surgeries, or infections may not qualify. If someone joins the trial, they can expect to receive careful monitoring and support throughout their treatment. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable information about improving care for patients with this challenging condition.
