Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of INtrathecal or Ommaya ReserVoir Administration of T-DXd in Patients With HER2-Expressing Breast Cancer With Active Leptomeningeal and/or Brain Metastases Based on Systemic Therapy: Phase I/II Study

Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
SUMMARY

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.

Treatments
Experimental: Phase I/Arm A(Intrathecal Dose-Escalation Phase)
Population : T-DXd-naïve subjects with leptomeningeal metastases (LM), with or without concurrent brain metastases (BM).~Cycle 1 : Intrathecal (IT) T-DXd monotherapy to assess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and systemic pharmacokinetics (PK).~Cycles 2+ : IT T-DXd combined with intravenous (IV) T-DXd in a dose-escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) .~DLT Evaluation : The first two cycles serve as the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) observation window .~Endpoint : The recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) will be determined by investigator assessment
Experimental: Phase I/Arm B(Systemic-to-Intrathecal Transition Phase)
Population : T-DXd-naïve subjects with LM ± BM. Cycle 1 : IV T-DXd monotherapy to characterize CSF and systemic PK profiles. Cycles 2+ : IT administration of the RP2D of T-DXd combined with IV therapy
