Overview

The goal of this prospective, single-arm exploratory clinical study is to explore the safty and efficacy of whole-brain radiotherapy combined with Thiotepa sheath injection combined With Systemic Therapy for the Primary Disease in the Treatment of Meningeal Metastases in Solid Tumors

How works well was the combined therapy? How safe was combined therapy? Participants will receive whole brain radiotherapy combined with intrathecal injection of Thiotepa twice a week for a total of 4 weeks. Evaluate the efficacy and safety every 2 cycles.

Researchers will evaluate whether this combination treatment is safe and whether it is more effective than previous studies.

Description

Participants will receive a comprehensive treatment plan consisting mainly of whole brain 30Gy/10F radiotherapy combined with intrathecal injection of Thiotepa. The injection was administered by qualified individuals (certified personnel in the radiotherapy department of our hospital) twice a week for a total of 4 weeks. Thiotepa was injected 10mg each time, mixed with cerebrospinal fluid, and then injected slowly for 5-10 minutes. Evaluate the efficacy and safety every 2 cycles.

    5. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% in cardiac function examination.
    6. The serum pregnancy test is negative, and effective contraceptive measures are taken within 6 months from the signing of the informed consent form until the use of the last chemotherapy.
    7. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), or free triiodothyronine (FT3) are all within the normal range of ± 10%.

      Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1) Participating in other clinical studies, or the first study drug administration is

    less than 4 weeks after the end of the previous clinical study treatment.

    2) Has suffered from other malignant tumors within the past 5 years. 3) Patients who have received CNS guided treatment and prevention. 4) Patients with a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and/or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. 5) Patients with active autoimmune diseases or a history of hematological autoimmune diseases with a high risk of recurrence, including but not limited to immune related neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain's syndrome, myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, connective tissue disease, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel cancer (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), autoimmune hepatitis Toxic epidermal necrolysis or Stevens Johnson syndrome. 6) Patients with active chronic hepatitis B or active hepatitis C.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
