The present invention provides methods for treating tumors of the brain by administering the compounds of the Formula A and particularly N-(3,4-dichloro-2-fluorophenyl)-7-({[(3aR,6aS)-2-methyloctahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrol-5-yl]methyl}oxy)-6-(methyloxy)quinazolin-4-amine, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a subject in need of such treatment. In the methods of the invention, the compounds disclosed herein were surprisingly found to cross the blood brain barrier. The method of the present invention further relates to the treatment of cancers of any type potentially responding to EGFR, HER2, VEGFR2, or Src family kinase inhibitors and that are found in the brain.
