Lung cancer with brain spread: a surgical study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial looks at people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain or the membranes around the brain. It aims to learn more about patients who are already scheduled for brain surgery, such as removing a tumor or placing a drain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have non-small cell lung cancer.
- Your cancer has spread to your brain or the lining around your brain (called meninges).
- You are already planning to have brain surgery, like removing a brain tumor or placing a drain to relieve pressure.

This study looks at how people with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord are treated in real-world clinics in China. If you have received treatment for this spread since 2018, you may be able to help doctors learn what works best.
This study is for people with breast cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (called leptomeningeal metastasis). Researchers want to understand how to treat this condition and offer care to those who qualify.
This study looks at the risk and outlook for non-small cell lung cancer that spreads to the brain. It aims to learn more about who gets brain metastasis and how it affects patients, which could help guide treatment decisions.
This study looks at how solid tumors spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. It aims to understand this condition better by reviewing patient records.
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation to the whole brain, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy given through a lumbar puncture. It is for people with lung cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and has not responded to standard treatments.
This study tests whether giving radiation therapy (called stereotactic radiotherapy) to the brain before or along with a combination of an experimental drug (ivonescimab) and chemotherapy can help treat non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. It compares this approach to just receiving the drug and chemotherapy without the brain radiation.
