- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- whole brain LDRT + ICI + intrathecal chemotherapy
- description
- The treatment regimen consisted of intrathecal chemotherapy (via lumbar puncture, pemetrexed 30 mg, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total), PD-1 inhibitor (Sintilimab, via intravenous infusion, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total)), pemetrexed chemotherapy (via intravenous infusion, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total) and radiotherapy. Whole brain LDRT will be administered at 3 cohorts with increasing dose fractions: 4 Gy/2f of 2 fraction (administered a daily dose of 2 Gy for two days) in group 1; 4 Gy/2f of 4 fractions (administered a daily dose of 2 Gy for two days, once per three weeks, 2 cycles in total) in group 2; 4 Gy/2f of 8 fractions (administered a daily dose of 2 Gy for two days, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total) in group 3.
