PG - 2979-2989 LID - 10.1002/cam4.5217 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Currently, only a few options are available for the treatment of patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) after the failure of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus chemotherapy for second-line treatment of advanced SCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective clinical trial recruited patients treated with apatinib plus second-line chemotherapy until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Logrank test power analysis was used for calculating samples. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and safety. RESULTS: A total of 29/31 enrolled patients were available for response evaluation until October 2019. The ORR and DCR were 27.59% (8/29) and 96.55% (28/29), respectively. The median PFS and OS were 7.36 months and 14.16 months, respectively, indicating better efficacy compared with the standard second-line chemotherapies. The most common adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (41.94%, 13/31), followed by leucopenia (35.48%, 11/31) and thrombocytopenia (25.81%, 8/31). The grade 3-4 AEs occurred in 12 (38.71%) patients, of which neutropenia (19.35%, 6/31), leucopenia (9.68%, 3/31), and proteinuria (6.45%, 2/31) were most common. Patients receiving an initial dose of apatinib 250 mg had a better tolerance. CONCLUSION: Antiangiogenic therapy plus chemotherapy had encouraging efficacy in advanced SCLC patients, which provides an insight into the current status of second-line therapy in SCLC.
