Clinical Trial Summary

Anlotinib which has shown an affirmatory efficacy in ALTER0303 controlled trial as a 3rd-line treatment on advanced NSCLC is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with a favorable safety profile in phase I trial which mainly targets VEGFR1/2/3, FGFR, PDGFR and c-kit. The purpose of this trail is to establish whether advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients could benefit from the combination treatment of docetaxel, carboplatin and anlotinib as the first-line and maintenance treatment.

Description:

First-line patients (or postoperative recurrence) with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC were enrolled in this trail. The patients (clinical stage ⅢB/Ⅳ, with no sensitizing mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene or translocation of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene) were confirmed by histological or cytological diagnosis. The primary endpoint is PFS; secondary endpoint includes OS, DCR and ORR. The study was single-arm, conducted at 8 centers in China mainland. The primary end point was PFS (time from enrollment to first RECIST1.1-defined PD or death). 45 patients were planned for enrollment. This estimate was based on 80% power, with a two-sided 5% significance level. We analyzed PFS and OS using Kaplan-Meier methodology. The research protocol was approved by the relevant ethics committees, and the study was conducted according to the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Patients gave written informed consent to participate in the trial.
