Avoiding Radiation Therapy Due to Intracranial Response to Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy and/or Immuno-ONcology Therapy for Brain Metastases: Pilot Pragmatic Trial
Description

This pilot pragmatic trial evaluates the feasibility of avoiding radiation therapy in patients with brain metastases who demonstrate an intracranial response to systemic therapy-including immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or chemotherapy. The study will prospectively enroll 45 patients, divided into two cohorts: 30 with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving immunotherapy, and 15 with brain metastases from other solid tumors. Eligible participants must have at least one brain metastasis not planned for radiation or surgery and must be initiating or planning to initiate a systemic therapy regimen expected to penetrate the blood-brain barrier and achieve intracranial activity. All patients will undergo a re-evaluation brain MRI 4-8 weeks after initiating systemic therapy. If lesions are stable or regressing, patients will continue surveillance without radiation. If progression is noted, standard-of-care radiation may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician. The primary objective is to assess 6-month radiation therapy-free survival (RTFS) in NSCLC patients based on PD-L1 expression status. Secondary endpoints include intracranial progression-free survival, overall survival, radiation necrosis rate, and quality of life. This study seeks to inform future trial design and identify patients who may safely avoid brain radiation.

Arginine and Whole Brain Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Patients With Brain Metastases
Description

This early phase I trial evaluates different administration techniques (oral or intravenous) for arginine and tests the safety of giving arginine with whole brain radiation therapy in patients who have cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the brain (brain metastases). Arginine is an essential amino acid. Amino acids are the molecules that join together to form proteins in the body. Arginine supplementation has been shown to improve how brain metastases respond to radiation therapy. The optimal dosing of arginine for this purpose has not been determined. This study measures the level of arginine in the blood with oral and intravenous dosing at specific time intervals before and after drug administration to determine the best dosing strategy.

An Interactive Time-Restricted Diet Intervention (txt4fasting) for Reducing Neurocognitive Decline and Improving Survival in Patients With Brain Metastases From Breast or Lung Cancer
Description

This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of an interactive time-restricted diet intervention (txt4fasting) in reducing neurocognitive decline and improving survival outcomes after stereotactic radiosurgery in patients with breast or lung cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Lung cancer and breast cancer are the two most frequent causes of brain metastases. The diagnosis of brain metastases is associated with poorer survival and tumor-induced and treatment-related side effects. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. Patients who receive stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases may experience less neurocognitive side effects than with other types of brain radiation, but may still be at risk for their brain metastases growing, spreading, or getting worse. Patients with obesity and diabetes have been shown to have worse survival and increased radiation-related side effects. Evidence demonstrates that simply changing meal timing can have a positive impact on multiple health outcomes. Time-restricted eating, or prolonged nighttime fasting, has been proven to have positive effects on heart disease risk reduction, weight control management and chemotherapy side effect reduction. Txt4fasting may be effective in decreasing neurocognitive decline and improving survival outcomes in patients undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases from breast or lung cancer.

Feasibility of 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT to Identify Brain Metastasis
Description

The goal of this diagnostic intervention clinical trial is to compare 18F-Fluciclovine uptake within brain lesions over 60 minutes compared with standard of care positive histology confirmation or confirmation MRI images. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What are the dynamics of 18F-Fluciclovine update within a non-treated metastatic brain lesion over 60 minutes? 2. What are the dynamics of 18F-fluciclovine update within recently treated metastatic brain lesions? 3. What is the potential use of 18F-Fluciclovine in delineating true local progression from radionecrosis in patients with clinical uncertainty of indeterminate MRI? Participants will undergo an 18F-fluciclovine head PET/CT scan prior to treatment for brain metastatic lesion(s). The study will characterize uptake dynamic PET images over 60 minutes. Uptake within the lesions and the benign brain parenchyma will be plotted on a time activity curve for 60 mins. Patients will undergo a second 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT to evaluate 18F-fluciclovine uptake in treated lesions over 60 minutes. This will be offered concurrently with the post-procedure standard of care (SOC) MRI to evaluate post-treatment changes. Uptake within the lesions and the benign brain parenchyma will be plotted on a 60 min time activity curve. Results will be compared to the pre-treatment baseline images. A third 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT will be offered to evaluate post radiation changes necrosis from recurrence, for up to 10 patients in our cohort who are under clinical surveillance (up to three years surveillance) and developed MRI evidence of either true progression or radionecrosis with clinical uncertainty after stereotactic radiosurgery. The initial 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT will serve as a baseline PET/CT scan. This will be compared to post procedural histological confirmation.

Cemiplimab for the Treatment of Untreated Brain Metastases From PD-L1 >= 50% Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Description

This phase II trial tests how well cemiplimab works in treating patients with PD-L1 \>= 50% non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the brain (metastases). Approximately 10% of patients diagnosed with metastatic NSCLC present with brain metastases and another 30% develop brain metastases during the illness. Currently, the management of brain metastases relies on stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which has high rates of local control, but in combination with systemic therapy, can cause certain toxicities, including central nervous system (CNS) necrosis or potential cognitive changes or memory deficits. Additionally, in patients with numerous brain metastases, whole brain radiation (WBRT) is recommended, leading to significant neurocognitive deficits. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. However, there is little data on the effectiveness of newer systemic therapies, such as immunotherapy, in penetrating and treating previously untreated brain metastases. Cemiplimab without upfront SRS or WBRT for asymptomatic brain metastases may help delay the need for radiation in patients with untreated brain metastases from PD-L1 \>= 50% NSCLC.

Real-World Assessment of Clinical Outcomes in Metastatic NSCLC Patients With MET Exon 14 Skipping Mutation and Brain Metastases Treated With Capmatinib
Description

This was a retrospective, noninterventional cohort study of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic NSCLC with MET Exon 14 skipping mutation and brain metastases (BM) who received treatment with capmatinib in real-world practice settings. The study population consisted of patients with histologically confirmed stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV MET Exon 14 skipping mutated NSCLC with BM. The date of the initiation of therapy with capmatinib after the date of initial BM diagnosis at or after the initial advanced or metastatic NSCLC diagnosis defined the study index date. The 12-month period before the study index date defined the baseline period to assess baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. Study measures were assessed at the index and during the baseline and postindex date periods. The index date needed to occur between 1 May 2020 and the date of data abstraction, provided the selected patients meet the requirement of a minimum of 6 months follow-up time available after capmatinib initiation; the exceptions to this are those patients who died during this period.

A Study of Oral IRAK-4 Inhibitor CA-4948 in Combination With Pembrolizumab and Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Patients With Melanoma Brain Metastases
Description

This phase I/II trial will investigate the use of the novel oral IRAK-4 inhibitor CA-4948 in combination with pembrolizumab therapy following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with melanoma brain metastases (MBM). The investigators hypothesize that the addition of CA-4948 will reduce the rate of distant intracranial failure and reduce the need for subsequent radiation therapy. The investigators also propose that it will have a significant reduction in radiation necrosis and improve patient-reported symptoms and quality of life. This trial represents the first time an oral IRAK-4 inhibitor has been used in combination with aPD1 therapy in MBM and will yield valuable insight into its synergistic potential both in MBM and additional sites of metastases.
