Brief Summary

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

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intracranial Overall Response RateFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Intracranial overall response rate (iORR) is defined as the proportion of patients whose best overall response is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per local review and according to RANO-LM.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalFrom date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months

Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause

Intracranial Duration of ResponseFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Intracranial duration of response (iDoR) is defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death in patients who achieve complete or partial response, as per local review and according to RANO-LM.

Progression Free SurvivalFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression as per local review and according to RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause.

Intracranial Progression Free SurvivalFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression, as per local review and according to RANO-LM or death due to any cause.
