Interventions
- Drug: Intrathecal Administration of Thiotepa in Combination with Methotrexate via the Ommaya Reservoir — Patients received 15 mg MTX intrathecally combined with 10 mg thiotepa twice a week for 2 weeks (4 injections), followed by a maintenance phase in which the same agents and dosages were administered every three weeks until an event meeting the termination criteria occurs.
Primary outcomes
- Intracranial Overall Response Rate (From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months)
