Looking for clinical trials in leptomeningeal disease

Hello, 

My friendly has sadly been recently diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any clinical trials for this in the UK. Her initial diagnosis in 2021 was EGFR Lung cancer, which metastasized over time to her pelvis, spine, legs and brain. In august she was told her cancer had advanced to small cell and two days ago she was told she now has leptomeningeal disease. 

I would be so grateful to hear from anyone that may know of any trials available for this in the UK. 

Thank you so much. 

  • Hello Lucy-

    I'm sorry to hear about your friend and the news that they've recently been given about the spread of cancer. It's understandable that this could be a difficult time for all those who know and care for your friend. 

    We have some information on our website about clinical trials that may be helpful. You could also call our team of nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm to talk things through with them. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

    Sending my best wishes to you both,
