Whole Brain Low Dose Radiotherapy: Whole brain LDRT will be administered at 3 cohorts with increasing dose fractions: Group 1: 4 Gy/2f of one cycle; Group 2: 4 Gy/2f of two cycles (Q3w); Group 3: 4 Gy/2f of three cycles (Q3w). WB-LDRT will be administered in a 4 Gy of 2 fractions over two days, starting from Day 1 in the first cycle (a daily dose of 2 Gy, 4 Gy/2f for one cycle, once per three weeks, at minmum in one cycle and maximum in four cycles in total).
Pemetrexed: Pemetrexed, 30 mg, intrathecal injection, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total
Sintilimab: PD-1 inhibitor (Sintilimab, dose as recommended in the instruction manual), intravenous infusion, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total
Chemotherapy: Pemetrexed at a dose of 500 mg/m\^2, intravenous infusion, once per three weeks, 4 cycles in total
Study summary

4. Efficacy of extracranial lesions SD;
5. Patients with no contraindications to craniocranial radiotherapy were judged by radiotherapy doctors. Subjects who agree to receive immunotherapy, Lumbar puncture, intrathecal chemotherapy, and radiotherapy;

9. Pregnant and lactating women, subjects with reproductive capacity are unwilling to take effective contraceptive measures.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Clinical response rate — 48 months The RANO proposal for response criteria of leptomeningeal metastasis was used to assess the clinical response in this study.
Incidence of treatment-related adverse events — 48 months The incidence of treatment-related adverse events were measured for determing tolerability and safety. Adverse events (AEs) are evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0). Events of grade 3-5 are defined as moderate and severe adverse events.
