Depocyt® With Sorafenib in Neoplastic Meningitis

Neoplastic Meningitis Clinical Trial

Official title: A Single Arm Pilot Study of Intrathecally Administered DepoCyt® With Systemic Sorafenib in the Treatment of Neoplastic Meningitis From Solid Tumors

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability and side effects of oral sorafenib in combination with intrathecal DepoCyt.

Clinical Trial Description

After an Ommaya reservoir has been placed in the patient's head, the patient will receive DepoCyt through that reservoir every 2 weeks for 5 doses, then every 4 weeks for an additional 5 doses (a total of 10 DepoCyt treatments). Patients will also receive oral sorafenib at 400 mg twice a day throughout the treatment course until disease progression or death. Patients will receive brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) with contrast (and whole spine, if necessary) and spinal fluid studies will be obtained every 8 weeks through the Ommaya reservoir until disease progression, death, or unacceptable toxicity. In addition, patients will have spinal fluid obtained to test for sorafenib levels at each study visit after the start of sorafenib as well as prior to sorafenib treatment for controls. ;
