BRAF fusion involving the KIAA1549 gene is a hallmark of pilocytic astrocytoma, but it has also been recorded in rare cases of gangliogliomas, 1p/19q co-deleted oligodendroglial tumors, and it is also a common feature of disseminated oligodendroglial-like leptomeningeal neoplasm.
Another promising class of EGFR TKI such as AZD3759 has been designed to penetrate blood brain barrier to treat brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease and has showed promising responses in patients with brain metastases.

Furthermore, our results also show for significant correlation between evidence of leptomeningeal disease on MRI findings versus intra-operative CSF positivity for tumour cells.

Here we report the case of a stage IV ALK-rearranged NSCLC patient exposed to serial crizotinib, brigatinib, ceritinib, and lorlatinib (this latter brought to complete brain and leptomeningeal disease response), in a period of more than five years.
Importantly, we demonstrated robust antitumor efficacy following regional intraventricular delivery of HER2-CAR T cells for the treatment of multifocal brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease.<b>Conclusions:</b> Our study shows the importance of CAR design in defining an optimized CAR T cell, and highlights intraventricular delivery of HER2-CAR T cells for treating multifocal brain metastases.<i></i>.

In experiments with conditional ATOH1 mouse mutants crossed to <i>Ptch1<sup>+/-</sup></i> mice, which develop SHH-driven medulloblastoma, animals with <i>Atoh1</i> transgene expression developed highly penetrant medulloblastoma at a young age with extensive leptomeningeal disease and metastasis to the spinal cord and brain, resembling xenografts of human SHH medulloblastoma.

Recently, a flow cytometric assay to detect BCR-ABL protein has been developed, but little is known about its possible employment in leptomeningeal disease.
Standard-dose osimertinib resulted in a clinically meaningful response in a patient with <i>EGFR</i> T790M-negative 1st generation EGFR TKI refractory leptomeningeal disease.
We present a case of prolonged survival of a patient with BRAFV600E-mutant leptomeningeal disease who was treated with vemurafenib followed by whole brain radiation and a combination of dabrafenib and trametinib.
