Intrathecal Combination of Programmed Death-1 (PD-1)/Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA-4) Bispecific Antibody and Pemetrexed for Leptomeningeal Metastasis
China36 participantsStarted 2025-03-07
Plain-language summary
Leptomeningeal metastasis, characterized by tumor cells infiltrating and proliferating in the subarachnoid space, represents a distinct pattern of central nervous system involvement and is a fatal complication of malignant tumors. This phase I/II study is to evaluate the recommended dose, safety, feasibility, and therapeutic response of intrathecal Programmed Death-1 (PD-1)/Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated Protein 4 (CTLA-4) bispecific antibodies combined with pemetrexed in patients with leptomeningeal metastasis.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D)
Timeframe: From date of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 6 months
2
Incidence of treatment-related adverse events
Timeframe: From date of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 6 months
. A history of HIV or AIDS, acute or chronic hepatitis B or C infection, previous anti-PD1 therapy-induced pneumonitis, or have ongoing \>Grade 2 adverse events of such therapy; or ongoing autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years.
. The first month to treatment, as well as during induction and consolidation therapy, new drugs effective against leptomeningeal metastases were used, excluding those previously administered. These primarily included small molecule targeted therapies, such as EGFR-TKI/ALK-TKI drugs like Osimertinib and Lorlatinib.
. Patients with poor compliance or other reasons that were unsuitable for this study.
