Treating Locally Advanced Head and Neck Malignant Tumor With Anlotinib and Chemoradiotherapy

Study on the Treatment of Refractory and Locally Advanced Head and Neck Malignant Tumor With Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules Combined With Chemoradiotherapy

Head and neck tumors include well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, sarcoma, olfactory blastoma, and mucoepidermoid carcinoma, which are highly invasive and have a high rate of recurrence and metastasis. For tumors that cannot be radically removed at the local advanced stage, even after traditional comprehensive treatment, survival is still very low. Therefore, we need to explore new treatment methods to achieve tumor degeneration and increase the surgical resection rate or control local lesions to improve the survival rate of tumors. According to previous research reports and clinical exploration, anlotinib has evidence support for the treatment of locally advanced head and neck tumors. With a considerable effect in the early stage, we tried to initially observe the clinical treatment efficiency, toxic and side effects, progression-free survival time, overall survival time and quality of life of anlotinib in the treatment of patients with refractory head and neck carcinoma. Provide patients with a more optimal treatment plan and improve survival.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Anlotinib group; After 2 cycles of anlotinib treatment, we evaluate the therapeutic effect of tumor treatment: If it achieve downgrading and is operable, surgical treatment will be performed; if it is still inoperable and could accept radiotherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be combined with oral chemotherapy of anlotinib until the end of radiotherapy. Efficiency and side effects will be evaluated within 3 months after therapy. Finally, the survival is in follow-up.

Drug: Anlotinib hydrochloride capsules; Using anlotinib of 2 cycles as the first-line therapy.; Other Names: Fukewei, YBH00802018

Progression-free survival (PFS)	Defined as the time from randomization until disease progression or death from any cause, whichever happens first. Patients who withdraw or who are lost to follow-up will be censored at the date last known to be alive and progression free. Patients not having an event will be censored at the date last seen alive.
