    Abstract
    BACKGROUND Brain metastasis (BM) and leptomeningeal disease (LMD) are typified by a poor prognosis and are an area of unmet clinical need. Historically, patients with central nervous system (CNS) disease have been excluded from systemic therapy clinical trials, particularly with active/leptomeningeal disease. However, increasing prevalence of CNS metastasis is leading to greater interest in BM/LMD. We performed a descriptive analysis of clinical studies investigating BM/LMD management, published between Jan 2010 to Mar 2020. METHODS A comprehensive, customised search strategy was devised for 12 online bibliographic databases, using the following concepts: �clinical study�, �brain metastasis�, �leptomeningeal disease�, �intervention�, �patient-related outcome�. Double screening for inclusion/exclusion was performed on the Rayyan QCRI web application. Published abstracts were also screened for inclusion from ASCO, ESMO, SNO and EANO between 2015�2020. Following full text screening, conflicts were resolved by consensus and data were extracted using an online standardised tool. Data analysis and data visualisation were performed on the R statistical package. RESULTS Overall, 33118 published studies were double screened; 2632 full publications and 628 abstracts were included. Of these, 14.7% reported on unique interventional clinical trials (phase 2 = 267; phase 3 = 80). More than three times the number of clinical trials investigating systemic agents as the sole therapy for BM/LMD were published in Q1 2020 compared to the whole of 2010 (16 vs 5). 42.5% of clinical trials employed a form of local therapy (brain targeted radiotherapy or neurosurgery). Studies reported on patients with BM (n = 2738), LMD (n = 110) or both (n = 119). The majority of studies were performed in North America, Europe or East Asia (88.5% vs 11.5% rest of the world). The top 3 nations involved in published studies were the USA (n = 1155), China (n = 351) and Germany (n = 334). Network analysis demonstrated increasing links between countries. In line with expected BM prevalence, the main tumour sites studied were lung (23.4%), gastrointestinal (17.5%), breast (15%) and melanoma (12.5%). A rising trend of published BM/LMD studies over time was noted, with 83 observational studies/10 clinical trials in 2010 vs. 454 observational studies/80 clinical trials in 2019. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that over the last decade there has been a growth in BM/LMD research; likely reflecting an increasing disease prevalence, availability of novel and potentially CNS active agents, as well as more advanced local therapy modalities. BM/LMD clinical research is dominated by a few geographical regions and nations; however, there is an apparent shift to more international collaboration. This comprehensive mapping exercise will enable targeted systematic reviews of the existing evidence base on BM/LMD management.
