Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective response rate

    Objective response rate defined as confirmed complete response or partial response under RECIST 1.1 criteria. CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. To be assigned a status of CR or PR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no fewer than 4 weeks after the response criteria are first met.

    Up to three years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Up to three years

  • Duration of Response

    Up to three years

  • Frequency and severity of adverse effects as defined by CTCAE version 4.03

    30 days after last dose

  • Overall survival (OS)

    Up to three years

Study Arms (1)

Apatinib + Etoposide

EXPERIMENTAL

Apatinib 500mg daily, po, and it should be continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity or patients withdrawal of consent. Etoposide 50mg daily, po, day 1 to day 14, repeat every 21 days for 6 cycles.

Drug: ApatinibDrug: Etoposide

Interventions

Apatinib 500mg daily, po, and it should be continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity or patients withdrawal of consent.

  • At least treated with one line of platinum-based chemotherapy
  • Female, age ≥18 years and ≤70 years, signed informed consent.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
  • Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 version
