About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Intrathecal Administration of Thiotepa in Combination With Trastuzumab Via the Ommaya Reservoir in Breast Cancer With Leptomeningeal Metastasis: a Phase II Multicenter Clinical Trial
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intrathecal Administration of Thiotepa in Combination with Trastuzumab via the Ommaya Reservoir in Breast Cancer with Leptomeningeal Metastasis
Read the detailed description
This was a II, single-arm, prospective, multicenter study designed to estimate the efficacy and safety of intrathecal administration of thiotepa in combination with Trastuzumab via the Ommaya Reservoir in HER2-positive breast cancer with leptomeningeal metastasis.
The primary end point was iORR [complete response (CR) + partial response (PR)] according to RANO-LM. Scoring based on radiographic assessment in leptomeningeal metastases . A composite score (total score) is calculated and compared with the baseline total score. A 25% worsening in the current score relative to baseline defines radiographic progressive disease. A 50% improvement in the current score defines a radiographic partial response. Resolution of all baseline radiographic abnormalities defines a complete response. All other situations define stable disease. The secondary end points were changes in iPFS,PFS, OS, and exploratory analysis of the relationship between molecular markers and therapeutic efficacy.
This study is planned to include 26 patients with leptomeningeal metastasis from breast cancer who meet the entry criteria.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Intracranial Overall Response Rate
Intracranial overall response rate (iORR) is defined as the proportion of patients whose best overall response is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per local review and according to RANO-LM.
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Intracranial Progression Free Survival
Intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression, as per local review and according to RANO-LM or death due to any cause.
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
Progression Free Survival
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression as per local review and according to RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause.
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months
Overall Survival
Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months
frequency/severity of adverse events, lab abnormalities
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Wei Li, Ph.D (025-68307102, real.lw@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Intracranial Overall Response Rate (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Dec 2025.
