Study of Anlotinib as the Maintenance Therapy for Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Clinical Trial to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Anlotinib as the Maintenance Therapy for Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After Combined With Etoposide and Cisplatin Chemotherapy

Anlotinib has been approved as a third-line treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. A phase II clinical studies of small cell lung cancer (ALTER-1210) also showed that, compared with placebo, Anlotinib could improve the patients survival and had less toxic side effects after 2-3 line therapy. The purpose of this multicenter, randomized, prospective study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Anlotinib as the maintenance therapy for Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer after combined with etoposide and cisplatin chemotherapy.
