Leptomeningeal Metastases

This is a Phase I, open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of dual-targeting VEGFR1/PD-L1 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells in patients with solid tumors presenting with pleural, peritoneal, or leptomeningeal metastases. Despite advances in systemic therapies, patients with serosal cavity and leptomeningeal dissemination face extremely poor prognoses and limited treatment options due to the unique immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and the physical barrier of these anatomical sites. Preclinical evidence suggests that simultaneous blockade of VEGFR1-mediated angiogenesis and PD-L1-mediated immune checkpoint signaling via a bispecific CAR-T construct may synergistically overcome local immunosuppression and enhance tumor eradication in these sanctuary sites. The study consists of two phases: a dose-escalation phase utilizing a standard 3+3 design and backfilling design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of locoregionally administered CAR-T cells, followed by a dose-expansion phase to further assess safety and preliminary efficacy at the RP2D. Eligible patients will receive a single infusion of VEGFR1/PD-L1 dual-CAR T-cells via intrapleural, intraperitoneal, or intrathecal routes, depending on the primary site of metastasis. The primary endpoints are the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) graded by CTCAE v5.0. Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR) , progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and assessment of CAR-T cell persistence and cytokine profiles in peripheral blood and local effusion fluids.

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether deferoxamine (DFO) given intrathecally (directly into the CSF) is a safe treatment for people with leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumor cancer. The researchers will test different doses of DFO to find the highest dose that causes few or mild side effects. When the dose is found, they will test it in future participants to see whether DFO is a safe and effective treatment for people with leptomeningeal metastasis from solid tumor malignancies. They are also doing this study to see how the body absorbs, distributes, gets rid of, and responds to DFO.

This Phase 1 study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and schedule feasibility of administering Rhenium-186 NanoLiposome (REYOBIQ) at different dosing intervals following whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) or proton craniospinal irradiation (PCSI).

Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) is a lethal complication of malignant tumors, characterized by tumor cell invasion and proliferation within the subarachnoid space. LM from HER2-negative breast cancer remains challenging to treat, with a median overall survival of only 3-6 months despite aggressive therapy. This open-label, uncontrolled Phase I/II clinical study aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and potential efficacy of Sacituzumab Govitecan in combination with intrathecal pemetrexed chemotherapy for LM from HER2-negative breast cancer, with the objective of identifying a more effective treatment strategy.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of high-dose firmonertinib combined with bevacizumab and intrathecal pemetrexed in EGFR Ex19del/L858R-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), as measured by Overall Survival (OS). Secondary Objectives: 1. To assess the efficacy of this regimen in EGFR Ex20ins/PACC/L861Q-mutated NSCLC with LM. 2. To further evaluate therapeutic outcomes across cohorts, including: * Time to Treatment Failure (TTF) * Leptomeningeal Objective Response Rate (ORR-LM) * Clinical Response Rate 3. To analyze the impact of this regimen on \*quality of life\* using standardized metrics: * EORTC QLQ-C30 * EORTC QLQ-LC13 4. To assess safety profiles across cohorts, focusing on: * Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) graded per \*CTCAE v5.0\* * Frequency of treatment-related toxicities Exploratory Objectives: To investigate correlations between dynamic changes in: * Plasma-derived circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) * Cerebrospinal fluid-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and clinical outcomes through comparative analysis of genomic profiling and epigenetic signatures before and after treatment.

With the rapid development of targeted drugs, the treatment of patients with leptomeningeal metastasis has become a very difficult problem in clinical work. High-dose targeted drugs and intrathecal chemotherapy are important treatment methods for meningeal metastasis. However, it is vital to note that safety is also of concern in previous studies of intrathecal chemotherapy. In this study, we aim to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of patient using chemo-holiday therapy based on the cerebrospinal fluid cytology, combined with double-dose EGFR-targeted drug in patients with leptomeningeal metastases from EGFR-positive NSCLC.

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Befotertinib combined with Bevacizumab as a first-line treatment for patients with EGFR mutation-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accompanied by brain or leptomeningeal metastases. It is a single-arm, open-label, prospective Phase II clinical trial aiming to explore the potential benefits of this combination therapy in improving intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) and overall survival (OS). Patients will receive Befotertinib daily and Bevacizumab every three weeks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The study seeks to address the unmet need for effective treatments in this challenging patient population.
