Official Title: Characterization of the Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Intraventricular Methotrexate Continuously Delivered Via a Mini Pump for Treatment of Leptomeningeal Disease

Brief Summary: This pilot clinical trial studies continuous intraventricular methotrexate in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving drugs directly into the ventricles may be an effective treatment for patients with leptomeningeal disease
