Camrelizumab Combined With Apatinib for Recurrent Resistant GTN (GTN)

Camrelizumab Combined With Apatinib for Recurrent Resistant Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia: a Phase 2, Single-arm, Prospective Study

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab plus apatinib in patients with high-risk chemo-refractory or relapsed GTN.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Gestational Trophoblastic Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Apatinib; Drug: Camrelizumab

Detailed Description

Apatinib is an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively binds to and inhibits VEGF receptor 2. Novel immunotherapy using the immune checkpoint inhibitors such as anti-PD-1 antibody has received much attention. Camrelizumab as one of the anti-PD-1 drug have impressive clinical activity.
