Photon Craniospinal Irradiation for the Treatment of Leptomeningeal Disease Secondary to Breast Cancer or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of photon-VMAT-CSI; assessed by median central nervous system progression free survival (CNS-PFS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate and assess central nervous system (CNS) response rate, response duration, and overall survival probability.

II. To summarize and assess toxicities including: type, frequency, severity, attribution, time course and duration.

III. To characterize and evaluate patient reported outcomes (PROs), including quality of life (QOL), measures:

IIIa. QOL Questionnaire Brain 20 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC]-Quality of Life Questionnaire [QLQ]-Brain 20 [BN20]); IIIb. Core QOL Questionnaire 30 (EORTC-QLQ-Core 30 [C30]); IIIc. Patient reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) for Anxiety; IIId. PROMIS Cognition.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To characterize inflammatory markers over time. II. To explore the potential association between inflammatory markers and radiation-related toxicity.

III. To evaluate the potential association between circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA), imaging, and response.

IV. To evaluate possible genomic predictors of CNS progression.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo photon-VMAT-CSI once daily (QD) for 10 treatments over 10-20 days (Monday-Friday) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during screening and follow-up and undergo collection of blood samples throughout the trial. Patients also undergo lumbar puncture LP or Ommaya reservoir tap for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample collection during screening and follow-up.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month and then every 3 months for up to 1 year.
