What this trial is about
Multiple trials confirm systemic T-DXd efficacy in HER2+ breast cancer with leptomeningeal/brain metastases, yet median LM survival remains 3-4 months, highlighting unmet needs. While systemic therapies improve survival, intracranial disease control remains limited due to poor BBB penetration. Preclinical data show no detectable T-DXd/DXd in CSF, though intrathecal trastuzumab demonstrates preliminary safety/efficacy in HER2+ LM. This study evaluates intrathecal/intra-Ommaya T-DXd plus systemic therapy in active HER2+ meningeal/brain metastases, assessing safety, intracranial efficacy, and CSF/peripheral blood T-DXd distribution to clarify BBB penetration potential. Findings may guide novel therapeutic strategies for this high-need population.
Who can take part
Inclusion criteria
- Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender.
- HER2-expressing advanced or metastatic breast cancer
- Leptomeningeal metastasis
- Subjects with active brain metastases only must have at least one intracranially measurable lesion (RANO-BM criteria).
- Adequate organ and bone marrow function
- No radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, or surgery within 2 weeks prior to enrollment (or within 5 half-lives of prior therapy, whichever is shorter).
- All prior treatment-related toxicities must have resolved to ≤Grade 1
Exclusion criteria
- Diagnosis of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for cured carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, other in situ carcinomas, or papillary thyroid carcinoma.
- Uncontrolled concurrent illnesses including, but not limited to: persistent or active infections, uncontrolled or clinically significant cardiovascular diseases, severe chronic gastrointestinal disorders with diarrhea, or psychiatric/social conditions that may compromise compliance with study requirements, significantly increase AE risks, or impair the subject's ability to provide written informed consent.
- History of (non-infectious) ILD/non-infectious pneumonitis requiring steroid therapy, current ILD/non-infectious pneumonitis, or suspected ILD/non-infectious pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by imaging during screening.
- Clinically significant pulmonary comorbidities
- Use of immunosuppressants or systemic corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) for immunosuppression within 2 weeks prior to first dose (excluding intranasal/inhaled corticosteroids).
- Any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease with potential recurrence.
- Uncontrolled infections requiring IV antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals.
- Active primary immunodeficiency, known HIV infection, active HBV (HBsAg+ with HBV DNA ≥500 IU/mL) or HCV infection. HCV antibody-positive subjects are eligible only if PCR confirms HCV RNA negativity.
- Radiographic evidence of tumor encasement/invasion of major blood vessels, or investigator-determined high risk of fatal hemorrhage due to probable vascular invasion during treatment.
- Pregnant/lactating women, or subjects of reproductive potential unwilling/unable to use effective contraception.
- Any other condition deemed by investigators to potentially affect trial conduct or outcome interpretation.
