Study summary

TKIs therapy is the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR mutation advanced NSCLC.However, some patients have poor prognosis of drug resistance in the early stage. The dynamic alterations of ctDNA-based EGFR mutation after TKIs treatment is a predictor of the efficacy of TKIs treatment, which can be used to identify this part of patients in the early stage.Drug resistance can be overcome when TKIs is combined with drugs in different mechanisms of action, such as chemotherapy and anti-angiogenesis therapy.Gefitinib is the first-generation oral EGFR TKIs. Anlotinib is a domestic oral small molecule inhibitor of multireceptor tyrosine kinase, which has extensive inhibitory effect on tumor angiogenesis and growth.Gefitinib combined with anlotinib is a new option in the treatment of patients with uncleared plasma EGFRm after gefitinib treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, prospective, randomized, controlled phase II clinical trial.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gefitinib combined with anlotinib versus gefitinib alone in advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients whose EGFRm was not cleared in plasma ctDNA after 8 weeks of gefitinib first-line treatment, so as to provide clinical basis for a new and tolerable treatment that can prolong the survival time of patients with advanced NSCLC. Study therapy continued until disease progression, unacceptable adverse event, or withdrawal of consent. The efficacy and adverse reactions of the trial regimen will be evaluated according to RECIST criteria and NCI-CTC AE V3.0.
