Abstract
PURPOSE:

Leptomeningeal disease is a rare presentation of advanced metastatic breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate craniospinal progression between intrathecal (IT) trastuzumab, IT chemotherapy, and whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in leptomeningeal disease.
METHODS:

A total of 56 patients were identified with breast cancer leptomeningeal disease at our institution treated with IT trastuzumab (n = 18; 32%), single-agent IT chemotherapy (methotrexate n = 14 or thiotepa n = 1; 27%), or WBRT alone (n = 23; 41%). Patients were treated beginning November 2012 and followed until November 2018.
RESULTS:

Median time from breast cancer diagnosis to development of leptomeningeal disease was 4.3 years. There were no significant differences noted between IT trastuzumab, IT chemotherapy, or WBRT groups in age (p = 0.4), Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) (p = 0.07), or receipt of systemic therapy at time of leptomeningeal disease treatment (p = 0.47). Median follow-up of patients from leptomeningeal diagnosis was 5 months (range 0.2-81.1 months). Significant differences were noted in Kaplan-Meier (KM) craniospinal progression-free survival (CS-PFS) with 6-month rates of 44%, 18%, and 26% (p = 0.04) between IT trastuzumab, IT chemotherapy, and WBRT, respectively. Craniospinal control > 10 months was achieved in four patients treated with IT trastuzumab. Twelve-month KM OS rates were 54%, 10%, and 19% (p = 0.01) between IT trastuzumab, IT chemotherapy, and WBRT groups, respectively. IT therapy was adequately tolerated with three patients undergoing treatment-related hospitalizations.
CONCLUSIONS:

In our institutional series, significant differences were noted in CS-PFS and OS by treatment modality. IT trastuzumab should be considered in the management HER2+ breast leptomeningeal disease.
