About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Thiotepa administration via Ommaya Reservoir works to treat non-small cell lung cancer with leptomeningeal metastases resistant to EGFR TKI. The main questions to answer are:
Is Thiotepa administration via Ommaya Reservoir safe to inject? How effective is thiotepa via Ommaya Reservoir in intracranial-disease control? Participants will:
Stage 1: Intrathecal injection of 10 mg thiotepa via Ommaya reservoir, twice every week, for 4 consecutive weeks; Stage 2: Intrathecal injection of 10 mg thiotepa via Ommaya reservoir, once every week, for 4 consecutive weeks; Stage 3: Intrathecal injection of 10 mg thiotepa via Ommaya reservoir, once a month, for 4 consecutive months; Before each intrathecal administration, a preliminary intrathecal injection of dexamethasone, 2.5 mg/dose, is given.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age between 18 and 75 years.
Male or female of non-childbearing potential, or female of childbearing potential who is not pregnant or lactating.
ECOG performance status of 0 to 2, with no deterioration within the past 7 days.
Radiological and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytological evidence of leptomeningeal metastases (LM). The diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) must be confirmed by histological and/or cytological examination.
Disqualifiers
Patients requiring ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement due to elevated intracranial pressure.
History of epilepsy unrelated to leptomeningeal metastases.
Evidence of any neurological functional failure, including severe encephalopathy, grade 3 or 4 leukoencephalopathy as shown on imaging, or a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score < 11.
Evidence of any extensive and fatal progressive systemic disease with no effective treatment available.
