Radiotherapy Plus Anlotinib in LA-NSCLC Intolerable to cCRT

Summary

Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) is the standard treatment for patients with negative epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). However, parts of patients only receive sequential chemoradiotherapy (sCRT) due to various reasons. This phase II study aimed to improve the outcomes of patients receiving sCRT by combining anti-angiogenesis therapy (Anlotinib) during radiotherapy course.We hypothesize that the combination of radiotherapy with anlotinib could improve the 2-year PFS rate from 35% with sCRT to 50. The accrual target was 44 patients.
