Prognostic value of cerebrospinal fluid tumor cell count in leptomeningeal disease from solid tumors. (PubMed)
CSF-TC density may carry prognostic value in patients with LMD from solid tumors. Integrating CSF-TC density into LMD patient risk-stratification may help guide treatment decisions.

Keeping a track on leptomeningeal disease in non-small cell lung cancer: A single-institution experience with CNSide. (PubMed, Neurooncol Adv)
The median survival for LMD patients was 16.1 m (5.2-NR). We show that CNSide can supplement the management of LMD in conjunction with SOC methods for the diagnosis, monitoring response to therapy, and identifying actionable mutations unique to the CSF in patients with LMD.

A Longitudinal Therapy Response Monitoring Study in Subjects with Leptomeningeal Metastases using CNSide Compared to Standard of Care (CSF Cytology, Clinical Evaluation, Imaging) (SNO 2023)
Physicians will also indicate which component of the test aided in management, modeling other similar studies that measure the effect of serum biomarker results on clinical management of cancer. Secondary end points include diagnostic comparison to clinical evaluation, cytology, and radiographic results, and determining the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of CNSide in the detection of CSF tumor cells (cytology being the reference standard).

Excellent Response to Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in "HER-2 Low" Leptomeningeal Breast Cancer and Diagnostic and Monitoring Utility of CNSide Assay (SABCS 2023)
She had been taking adjuvant letrozole at the time of presentation. This case also highlights the benefits of using advanced and highly sensitive CSF assays to diagnose and surveil leptomeningeal disease and to assess HER2 signaling. This case is well-timed especially in the era of next-generation, CNS penetrating, potent HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugate like T-DXd which can mount antitumor activity even with minimal HER2 expression in tumors.

Comparison of next-generation sequencing (NGS) results from the cerebrospinal fluid, peripheral blood, and systemic metastatic tumor tissue of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and leptomeningeal disease (LMD) (SABCS 2023)
We observed concordance and heterogeneity in the status of actionable mutations between the CSF, peripheral blood, and systemic metastatic tumor tissue. Larger studies are needed to assess the clinical utility of these observations, particularly with the development of several novel targeted agents that are CNS-penetrant.

Case series of multi-institutional utility of CNSide to manage Leptomeningeal Disease in patients with metastatic breast cancer (SNO 2021)
Our experience suggests that using CNSide for quantitative CSF tumor cell detection may aid in diagnosing LMD, as well as in quantifying response to treatment particularly in the setting of intrathecal therapy. However, larger prospective clinical trials are needed to establish the role of CNSide in the diagnosis and management of LMD.

Characterization of HER2 amplification in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Leptomeningeal Disease in stage IV patients with breast cancer (SABCS 2021)
HER2 amplification is frequently found in breast cancer patients with LMD and can be reliably detected in tumor cells isolated from CSF. Evaluation of HER2 status in CSF-TCs allows treating physicians the opportunity to rapidly confirm the presence of this biomarker and select a more effective targeted therapy against HER2 in patients who present with life-threatening complications of breast cancer. Additional studies are needed to fully establish the clinical utility of CNSide when using various anti-HER2 therapies or therapy combinations to treat breast cancer patients with LMD.
