PG - 433-439 LID - 10.1097/CAD.0000000000001575 [doi] AB - Acquired resistance is unavoidable with the approval of third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for first-line therapy of advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Some studies have found that combining antiangiogenesis medicines with EGFR-TKI may benefit clinical outcomes in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. However, it is unclear whether EGFR-TKI paired with antiangiogenesis therapy could further improve survival for patients with gradual progression. Thus, we comprised the clinical effectiveness and safety of continuous EGFR-TKI in combination with anlotinib and EGFR-TKI alone in patients who had gradual progression on third-generation EGFR-TKI treatment. The comparison of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival(OS) between two groups used the Kaplan-Meier method. Our study comprised 121 eligible patients in total. The objective response rates were 25.0% and 0%, and the disease response rate was 91.7% and 86.9% in the combination group and EGFR-TKIs monotherapy group. The median PFS of combined anlotinib and EGFR-TKI treatment was 6.7 months and the median PFS was 3.6 months in the EGFR-TKI monotherapy group ( P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in OS. The common adverse reactions were diarrhea (21.7%), hypertension (21.6%) and proteinuria (20.0%) in the combination group. Seven patients experienced a grade 3 or higher adverse event, no patients discounted the treatment or died due to the toxicity. Our study indicated that, when combined with anlotinib following gradual progression on EGFR-TKIs, it was more efficacious for EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients than EGFR-TKI monotherapy. And the toxicity was clinically manageable. CI - Copyright (c) 2024 The Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
