AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI

Who might be able to join this trial:

  • People aged 18 or older
  • People with a general health and activity level rated as reasonably functional (a standard cancer performance scale score of 2 or below)

The cancer types included are: triple negative breast cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, melanoma, or other solid tumours not listed here
  • For Part B of the trial: People with one of the listed cancer types, including those with a confirmed cancer spread to the lining of the brain or spinal cord (called leptomeningeal carcinomatosis), who are experiencing their first brain-related event and have not yet joined the study
  • People who have stored tumour tissue samples available (from either the original tumour or a spread site outside the brain) — this is required to join
  • People who are willing to have a lumbar puncture (spinal fluid sample) taken when brain involvement is diagnosed, unless there is a medical reason not to
  • People with a life expectancy of more than 3 months
  • Women who could become pregnant must have had a negative pregnancy test within 28 days before joining
  • Women who could become pregnant must have an effective form of contraception in place
  • People who have completed all required screening tests within 28 days before joining

  • (For participants in France only) People who are registered with the French Social Security system

Who may not be able to join:

  • Women who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding
  • People who have had or currently have a different type of cancer within the past 2 years — with the exception of certain early-stage skin cancers or early cervical changes that have been adequately treated
  • People who have a significant medical, psychiatric, or surgical condition that is not currently under control and that, in the lead doctor's opinion, could interfere with completing the study
  • (For participants in France only) People who are considered legally vulnerable under French public health law, or who are under a form of legal protection, or who are unable to give their own consent
