Efficacy and Safety of Intrathecal Administration of Thiotepa in Combination With Methotrexate in Breast Cancer With Leptomeningeal Metastasis

Efficacy and Safety of Intrathecal Administration of Thiotepa in Combination With Methotrexate Via the Ommaya Reservoir in Breast Cancer With Leptomeningeal Metastasis: a Phase II Multicenter Clinical Trial

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intrathecal Administration of Thiotepa in Combination with Methotrexate via the Ommaya Reservoir in Breast Cancer with Leptomeningeal Metastasis

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This was a II, single-arm, prospective, multicenter study designed to estimate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal administration of thiotepa in combination with methotrexate via the Ommaya Reservoir in breast cancer with leptomeningeal metastasis.

The primary end point was iORR [complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)] according to RANO-LM. Scoring based on radiographic assessment in leptomeningeal metastases . A composite score (total score) is calculated and compared with the baseline total score. A 25% worsening in the current score relative to baseline defines radiographic progressive disease. A 50% improvement in the current score defines a radiographic partial response. Resolution of all baseline radiographic abnormalities defines a complete response. All other situations define stable disease. The secondary end points were changes in iPFS, iDoR, ORR, PFS, OS, DoR and exploratory analysis of the relationship between molecular markers and therapeutic efficacy.

This study is planned to include 22 patients with leptomeningeal metastasis from breast cancer who meet the entry criteria.

  5. Patients can be implanted or have been implanted with Ommaya reservoirs;
  6. Patient must have at least one measurable lesion (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria);
  7. Postmenopausal or pre/perimenopausal female patients are eligible for enrolment; pre or perimenopausal female patients must be willing to receive LHRHa during the study period.
  8. All patients were required to meet the following laboratory biochemical values prior to enrolment:

    • Haematology: Hb ≥90 g/L, WBC ≥3.5×109/L, ANC ≥1.5×109/L, PLT ≥100×109/L;
    • Liver function: for those without liver metastases, AST, ALT, ALP ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal values, and ≤1.25 x the upper limit of normal values for total bilirubin; for those with liver metastases, AST, ALT, ALP ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal value, and total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal value.

Exclusion Criteria:
