About this trial
Leptomeningeal metastasis, characterized by tumor cells infiltrating and proliferating in the subarachnoid space, represents a distinct pattern of central nervous system involvement and is a fatal complication of malignant tumors.
This phase I/II study is to evaluate the recommended dose, safety, feasibility, and therapeutic response of intrathecal PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody plus pemetrexed in patients with leptomeningeal metastasis.
