Official title
Intrathecal Gemcitabine Therapy for Neoplastic Meningitis: A Phase I and Pharmacokinetic Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Subject's are being asked to take part in this study because he or she has a type of cancer that has spread to the meninges (tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord). There is no known effective treatment for this specific disease or the subject has received all of the treatments that are known to work for his or her specific disease without success. Currently, there is no other effective treatment for this type of cancer. The purposes of this study are: * to determine the highest dose of gemcitabine, an anti-cancer drug, that can safely be given directly into the spinal fluid of children and adults whose cancer no longer responds to standard treatment; * to find out what effects (good and bad) gemcitabine has when given directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (called intrathecal administration) in children and adults with neoplastic meningitis (cancer that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord); * to determine if gemcitabine is beneficial to the patient; * to understand how gemcitabine is handled by the body after intrathecal administration.
