Standardized check-up for leptomeningeal metastasis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study watches and writes down how patients with cancer that has spread to the brain or spinal cord lining (leptomeningeal metastases) are doing. It helps doctors learn more about this condition without giving any new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older
- You have a confirmed solid tumor cancer that started outside your brain or spinal cord
- Your cancer has spread to the lining around your brain or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastases)
- You are well enough to be considered for other clinical trials
- You can understand the study and sign a permission form

This study is testing different ways to give MRI contrast dye to better see if cancer has spread to the lining of the brain (leptomeningeal disease). It's for people with solid tumors who have had unclear results on standard scans or who are at high risk but have negative tests.
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 study collects information from people with leptomeningeal disease, a condition where cancer spreads to the lining of the brain and spinal cord. By joining, you help researchers learn more about this disease and how it affects people.
This trial tests a radioactive nanoparticle drug given directly into the fluid around the brain and spine to treat cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastases). It aims to see if this targeted treatment is safe and might help shrink or control the cancer.
This trial looks at spinal fluid (also called CSF) in adults with EGFR-mutant lung cancer that has spread to the lining around the brain/spinal cord. The goal is to better understand the disease and what the spinal fluid tests may show to guide care.
This trial tests proton radiation to treat cancer that has spread into the thin lining around the brain and/or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It may help control disease in that area while aiming to better protect surrounding healthy tissue.
