Study summary

This is a prospective interventional study clinical study to investigate the efficacy and resistance mechanisms of intrathecal pemetrexed in patients with driver gene mutations advanced NSCLC with leptomeningeal metastases.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective interventional clinical study aimed at investigating the efficacy and resistance mechanisms of intrathecal pemetrexed in advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 mutations presenting leptomeningeal metastases. Approximately 30 advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 mutations, who have developed leptomeningeal metastases following TKI resistance, will receive intrathecal pemetrexed. Cerebrospinal fluid samples will be collected before and after pemetrexed resistance to analyze molecular mechanisms and differences. Second-generation gene detection will be performed to identify potential resistance mechanisms to pemetrexed. The study is expected to commence recruitment in mainland China around April 2024, with an anticipated completion date in April 2025.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previously received intrathecal pemetrexed therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease.
  2. Subjects who have received any of the following treatments must be excluded:

    Have received radiation within 14 days prior to the first dose or have not recovered from radiation-related toxicity. Chest and extra-brain palliative radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactic body radiotherapy may be performed 7 days prior to the first dose.

  3. Presence of spinal cord compression or meningeal metastasis.
  4. History of other malignant tumors within 2 years.
  5. Adverse events (except alopecia of any degree) of CTCAE > grade 1 due to prior treatment (e.g., adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc.) prior to the first dose.
  6. History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to the first dose.
  7. The presence of any severe or poorly controlled systemic disease, including poorly controlled hypertension and active bleeding in the judgment of the investigator.
  8. Subjects with persistent or active infection, including but not limited to hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and COVID-19 infection.
  9. Heart-related diseases or abnormalities
  10. Past history of interstitial lung disease, drug-induced interstitial lung disease, radiation pneumonitis requiring steroid therapy or interstitial lung disease with active clinical symptoms, immune pneumonia caused by immunotherapy.
  11. Refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal disease, difficulty swallowing drugs, or inability to adequately absorb sunvozertinib or anlotinib due to previous bowel resection.
  12. Live vaccine was given 2 weeks before the first medication.
  13. Women who are breastfeeding or pregnant.
  14. Hypersensitivity to the test drug and the ingredients.
  15. Other conditions assessed by the investigator to be unsuitable for participation in the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Intracranial progression-free survival (I-PFS)

    Intracranial progression-free survival was defined as the duration from the start of IP to the worsening of neurological symptoms, radiological confirmation of brain progression, or patient death

    Time frame: Time from first subject dose to study completion, or up to 36 month

Secondary outcomes

  1. System progression-free survival (s-PFS)

    System progression-free survival was defined as the duration from the start of IP to the worsening of neurological symptoms, radiological confirmation of brain progression, or patient death

    Time frame: Time from first subject dose to study completion, or up to 36 month

Other outcomes

  1. Overall Survival Time

    Overall Survival Time was defined as the duration from the start of IP to patient death

    Time frame: Time from first subject dose to study completion, or up to 36 month
