  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in cardiac function examination >=50%
  • Negative serum pregnancy test, and effective contraception from signing the informed consent form until 6 months after the last chemotherapy dose

Who cannot take part

  • Currently participating in another clinical study, or less than 4 weeks between the first dose of the study drug and the end of treatment in a previous clinical study
  • Patients who have received CNS-directed prophylactic treatment
  • Within 6 months before screening, New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure, unstable angina, severe poorly controlled ventricular arrhythmia, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or myocardial infarction
  • In the judgment of the investigator, the patient's underlying condition may increase the risk of receiving study drug treatment or confound the occurrence and assessment of toxic reactions

Patients who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen or hepatitis C virus antibody during screening may be enrolled only after further HBV DNA titer testing (not higher than 1000 IU/mL) and HCV RNA testing (not exceeding the lower limit of detection of the assay), and after active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection requiring treatment has been excluded. Hepatitis B virus carriers, patients with stable hepatitis B after drug treatment and patients with cured hepatitis C may be enrolled
  • Active pulmonary tuberculosis

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether amivantamab combined with intrathecal pemetrexed is safe and may help treat leptomeningeal metastasis in adults with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma. Leptomeningeal metastasis occurs when cancer cells spread to the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord or to the cerebrospinal fluid. It is a serious complication of advanced lung cancer and is difficult to treat because many systemic drugs do not reach high enough levels in the cerebrospinal fluid.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

What medical problems do participants have when receiving amivantamab combined with intrathecal pemetrexed? How long do participants live without their disease getting worse after receiving this treatment? How long do participants survive after starting this treatment?

Participants will:

Receive amivantamab by intravenous infusion according to the study schedule. Receive intrathecal pemetrexed, together with dexamethasone and normal saline, once every week.

Continue their original EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment as determined by the study doctor.

Have cerebrospinal fluid pressure measured and cerebrospinal fluid samples collected before each intrathecal treatment.

Have tests of cerebrospinal fluid, including routine tests, biochemical tests, tumor markers, albumin, IgG, and cytology.

Have imaging tests, including enhanced MRI, about every 3 months to check the disease.

Be followed by clinic visits and/or telephone calls to collect information about survival, disease status, side effects, and any later cancer treatments.

The group in the trial

  • Treatment groupTreatment being tested

    Subjects will receive a comprehensive treatment regimen of amivantamab combined with systemic pemetrexed chemotherapy + intrathecal pemetrexed. Amivantamab dosing regimen: once weekly in the first month, 350 mg each time; no dosing is required in weeks 5 and 6. Starting from week 7, 700 mg each time once every 3 weeks. Systemic pemetrexed dosing regimen: day 1 of week 1, week 4, week 7 and once every 3 weeks thereafter, 500 mg/m2. Intrathecal injection shall be performed by personnel qualified to perform intrathecal injection (personnel of the Department of Radiation Oncology of our hospital holding standardized residency training certificates).

    Treatment: Amivantamab+ systemic/ intrathecal Pemetrexed
