Brief 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.

Radiotherapy plus Anlotinib

EXPERIMENTAL

Radiotherapy plus anlotinib in LA-NSCLC intolerable to cCRT

Drug: Anlotinib

Interventions

Anlotinib DRUG

For patients treated with conventional Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), the median prescribed dose was 60 Gy/30 fractions (range: 50.0-70.0 Gy, in 25-35 fractions) (median BED10 72 Gy, range: 60-84 Gy) to the planning target volume (PTV). As for patients with IMRT-based simultaneously integrated boost (SIB), the median prescribed dose was 59.92 Gy/28 fractions (range: 50.0-70.0 Gy, in 25-33 fractions) (median BED10 72.74 Gy, range: 60-84 Gy) to the planning gross tumor volume (PGTV), and 50.4 Gy/28 fractions (range: 45-59.4 Gy, in 25-33 fractions) (median BED10 59.47 Gy, range: 53.1-70.1 Gy) to the PTV. It should be noted that the PTV in the SIB group contains the PGTV. Anlotinib was administered orally concurrently with the first day of radiotherapy, at a dose of 12 mg for a maximum of three cycles. Each cycle was defined as 2 weeks on-treatment followed by 1 week off-treatment. If intolerance occurs, the dose may be reduced to 8-10 mg/day or stopped.
