Study of Anlotinib Combined With Gemcitabine/Cisplatin in Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Summary

Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) is more effective than fluorouracil plus cisplatin in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic NPC (R/M-NPC). GC is the standard first-line chemotherapy regimen for this population. However, the median progression-free survival was only 7 months for GC regimen. Anlotinib is a kinase inhibitor of receptor tyrosine with multi-targets, especially for VEGFR2、VEGFR3、PDGFRβ and c-Kit, which has strong effect of anti-angiogenesis. This study is aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of anlotinib plus GC as first-line treatment for R/M-NPC.
