The Efficacy and Safety of Apatinib Combined With Etoposide in Heavily Pretreated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

April 10, 2016 updated by: Xueqin Yang, Third Military Medical University

The Efficacy and Safety of Apatinib Combined With Etoposide in Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Failed to Previous at Least 2rd Line Treatments

The development of anti-angiogenesis drugs has led to renewed enthusiasm in lung cancer treatments. Apatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which selectively inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2). Etoposide is an oral preparation for lung cancer which is recommended by NCCN guideline. The investigators wondered whether these two drugs have synergistic effects when treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients who failed to previous at least 2nd line treatments. Thus, the aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with etoposide in heavily pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression free survival
Time Frame: evaluated in 24 months since the treatment began
the first day of treatment to the date that disease progression is reported
evaluated in 24 months since the treatment began

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

Time Frame
Objective Response Rate
Time Frame: tumor assessment every 6-8 weeks since the treatment began，up to 24 months
the ratio between the number of responders and number of patients assessable for tumor response
