PG - 3827-3834 LID - 10.2147/CMAR.S249678 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: Anlotinib is a newly developed oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor. We retrospectively evaluated the toxicity and clinical efficacy of chemotherapy combined with anlotinib versus chemotherapy alone for metastatic/advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients who failed first- or second-line systemic treatment in China. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective trial, ninety-four advanced NSCLC patients received chemotherapy combined with anlotinib (n = 41) or chemotherapy alone (n = 53) in Henan Cancer Hospital. We recorded the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: In the anlotinib plus chemotherapy group, eleven patients (27%) achieved a PR (partial response), and twenty-one patients (51%) achieved SD (stable disease), with an ORR of 27% and a DCR of 78%. In the chemotherapy alone group, eight patients (15%) achieved a PR, and nineteen patients (36%) had SD, with an ORR of 15% and a DCR of 51%. The ORR in the combination arm was slightly, but not obviously, higher than that in the chemotherapy arm (27% vs 15%, p > 0.05). In addition, the DCR was significantly higher in the combination arm than in the chemotherapy alone arm (78% vs 51%, p=0.007). At the end of follow-up, patients in the combination arm had a 1.5-month longer median PFS than patients in the chemotherapy arm; this difference was statistically significant (5.0 vs 3.5, p=0.002). The median OS was not achieved at the final analysis. The hematological and nonhematological toxicities were well tolerated and controlled. In general, most toxicity was limited to grade I or II, well tolerated and controlled. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that anlotinib combined with chemotherapy may be an effective and well-tolerated treatment for advanced NSCLC in patients who fail first- or second-line therapy.
