Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the efficacy and safety of double-dose third-generation EGFR-TKI combined with bevacizumab and intrathecal chemotherapy in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with leptomeningeal metastasis that progressed after prior standard-dose third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. It also aims to investigate the correlation between cerebrospinal fluid genetic characteristics and prognosis as well as subsequent efficacy prediction in patients with leptomeningeal metastasis after resistance to standard-dose third-generation EGFR-TKI. The main questions it intends to answer are: Does this combined treatment regimen improve leptomeningeal metastasis response rate (LM-ORR) evaluated by RANO-LM? What adverse events occur in patients during the treatment with this combined regimen? Researchers will conduct a single-arm phase II prospective study to assess the effectiveness and safety of the combined treatment, without a control group comparison. Participants will: Receive double-dose third-generation EGFR-TKI (osimertinib 160mg qd, furmonertinib 160mg qd, or almonertinib 220mg qd) + intrathecal pemetrexed (induction phase: 10mg twice a week for 4 weeks; maintenance phase: 10mg once a week for 4 weeks; consolidation phase: 30mg every 4 weeks until disease progression or intolerable toxicity) + bevacizumab 7.5mg/kg. Undergo screening assessments within 28 days before enrollment, including tumor imaging, laboratory tests, and cerebrospinal fluid examination. During the treatment period, conduct regular checkups and tests (such as blood routine, blood biochemistry, electrocardiogram, and imaging examinations) according to the protocol (once every 4 weeks in the first two treatment cycles, then once every 8 weeks). Complete quality of life assessment using the QLQ-C30 scale every 4 weeks and record changes in neurological symptoms and ECOG scores.

Exclusion Criteria * Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment, or need for major surgery during the study. * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). * Active bacterial/fungal/viral infections requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy. * Drug-induced pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease, or evidence of clinically significant active pulmonary disease. * Severe cardiovascular events within 6 months prior to enrollment, including cerebrovascular accident, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism. * Significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or higher congestive heart failure, unstable angina, symptomatic arrhythmias requiring treatment, or corrected QT interval (QTcF) \> 470 ms on consecutive electrocardiograms. * History of other systemic malignant tumors within the past 5 years (except for cured basal cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and ovarian cancer). * Use of drugs or supplements known to be strong inducers of CYP3A4. * Known severe allergy to any study drug or its excipients. * Pregnancy, lactation, or refusal of effective contraception by patients of childbearing potential. * History of definite neurological or psychiatric disorders (including epilepsy and dementia). * Other conditions deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.
