Double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI Plus Intrathecal Pemetrexed Versus Double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI in Patients With LM Progression Following the Treatment of Routine Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI

Double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI Plus Intrathecal Pemetrexed Versus Double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI in NSCLC Patients With Leptomeningeal Progression Following the Treatment of Routine Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI: a Phase II Randomized, Multicenter Study

We aim to compare the efficacy and safety of double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI Plus Intrathecal Pemetrexed Versus double Dose of Third-generation EGFR-TKI in patients with leptomeningeal progression following the treatment of routine dose of EGFR-TKI,

Inclusion Criteria:

There is no limit on the number of chemotherapy lines. The enrolled patients required brain parenchyma and extracranial lesion stable

• ECOG PS score: 0-3

• Normal main organ function, That is, the following criteria are met:

  1. routine blood examination (no blood transfusion within 14 days, no hematopoietic stimulating factor drugs are corrected state): hemoglobin (Hb) 90g / L; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1.5109 / L; Platelet (PLT) 100109 / L; White blood cell count (WBC) 3.0109 / L;
  2. Biochemical examination: alanine transaminotransferase (ALT) and alanine transaminotransferase (AST) 2.5 upper limit of normal (ULN); Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) 1.5 ULN; Serum creatinine (Cr) of 1.5 ULN or creatinine clearance of 50 ml/min; If any liver metastasis, Then, the total bilirubin 3 ULN, ALT and AST 5 ULN; C) Coagulation function: activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), international normalized ratio (INR), prothrombin time 12 (PT) 1.5 ULN;

  d) Doppler ultrasound assessment: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 50%;

• If previously treated with chemotherapy, A washout period of at least 21 days between the last chemotherapy dose and enrollment (if the patient does not receive radiotherapy) is required; Patients who treated brain parenchymal metastases with local radiotherapy or surgery before enrollment, Must be completed and fully recovered from the acute toxicity of radiotherapy / surgery. A minimum 14-day washout period is required between the end of radiotherapy and enrollment. A minimum 30-day washout period is required between the end of surgery and enrollment.
