Anlotinib in Chinese patients aged ≥70 years with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer without prior chemotherapy: a multicenter, single-arm pilot trial. Front Oncol 2024; 14:1335009. [PMID: 38651156 PMCID: PMC11033435 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2024.1335009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Based on pharmacoeconomics, drug availability and actual treatment, optimal treatment regimens for Chinese non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients over 70 years old are needed. Methods This multicenter, single-arm pilot trial enrolled patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC who refused systemic chemotherapy. Eligible patients received anlotinib (12 mg/day, d1-14, Q3W) until disease progression, intolerant toxicities, or withdrawal from the study. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results Forty-nine patients were screened between January 2019 and September 2021, of whom 40 patients were eligible. The median age was 76 years. With a median follow-up period of 16.20 (95% CI: 8.77, 25.10) months, the median PFS was 5.45 months (95% CI: 3.52-9.23) and the median overall survival was 10.32 months (95% CI: 6.44-12.78). Three patients achieved a partial response and 34 had stable disease, with an objective response rate of 7.5% and a disease control rate of 92.5%. Thirty-three (82.5%; 33/40) patients reported treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade, and the incidence rate of grade ≥3 TRAEs was 35% (14/40). The most common grade ≥3 TRAEs were hypertension (4/40; 10.0%), hand-foot syndrome (3/40; 7.5%), and proteinuria (2/40; 5.0%). Conclusion Anlotinib treatment was feasible and safe in Chinese elderly patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC who did not receive any systemic chemotherapy.

Feasibility and Tolerability of Anlotinib Plus PD-1 Blockades for Patients with Treatment-Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Exploratory Study. Cancer Manag Res 2024; 16:73-86. [PMID: 38318097 PMCID: PMC10840531 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s427680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Therapeutic regimens are relatively scarce among patients with treatment-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to determine the feasibility and tolerability of anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in patients with treatment-refractory metastatic CRC retrospectively. Methods A total of 68 patients with previously treated metastatic CRC who received anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in clinical practice were included in this study retrospectively. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, therapeutic outcomes and safety profile during administration were collected and briefly analyzed. All subjects were followed up regularly. Therapeutic outcomes, including drug response and prognosis, were presented, and a safety profile was depicted to illustrate the adverse reactions. Results A total of 68 patients with treatment-refractory metastatic CRC who received anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in clinical practice were included in the final analysis. Best therapeutic response during treatment indicated that partial response was observed in 11 patients, stable disease was noted in 41 patients, and progressive disease was found in 16 patients, producing an objective response rate of 16.2% (95% CI: 8.4%-27.1%) and a disease control rate of 76.5% (95% CI: 64.6%-85.9%). Prognostic analysis suggested that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 68 patients was 5.3 months (95% CI: 3.01-7.59), and the median overall survival (OS) was 12.5 months (95% CI: 9.40-15.60). Of the 11 patients who responded, the median duration of response was 6.7 months (95% CI: 2.89-10.53). Safety profile during treatment showed that patients experienced adverse reactions regardless of grade, and grade ≥3 adverse reactions were found in 61 patients (89.7%) and 41 patients (60.3%), respectively. Common adverse reactions were hypertension, myelosuppression (including leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia), fatigue, and hand-foot syndrome. Conclusion Anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades demonstrated encouraging efficacy and acceptable safety profile in patients with treatment-refractory metastatic CRC preliminarily in clinical practice. This conclusion should be confirmed in prospective clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) achieves good efficacy, but there is still room for improvement. This clinical study examined the effectiveness of anlotinib plus etoposide for maintenance therapy in ES-SCLC. METHODS The current single-arm, prospective phase II study was performed at Jiangsu Cancer Hospital (March 2019 to March 2022). After successful primary etoposide-based therapy, anlotinib was administered at 12 mg/day on days 1 to 14 of 21-day cycles until disease progression or consent withdrawal. All patients also received etoposide at 50 mg/day on days 1 to 14 of 21-day cycles for a maximum of six cycles. Progression-free survival (PFS) constituted the primary study endpoint. Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), objective remission rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. In addition, adverse events (AEs) were assessed. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients were treated. Median PFS and OS were 8.02 (95%CI 5.36-10.67) and 11.04 (95%CI 10.37-11.68) months, respectively. Totally 9 and 18 participants showed a partial response and stable disease, respectively; ORR and DCR were 32.14% and 96.43%, respectively. The commonest all-grade AEs were fatigue (n = 11, 39.28%), hypertension (n = 11, 39.28%), loss of appetite (n = 9, 32.14%), oral mucositis (n = 7, 25.00%) and proteinuria (n = 6, 21.40%). Grade 3-4 AEs included fatigue (n = 4, 14.28%), hypertension (n = 2, 7.14%), hand and foot syndrome (n = 2, 7.14%), oral mucositis (n = 1, 3.57%), hemoptysis (n = 1, 3.57%), proteinuria (n = 1, 3.57%), gingival bleeding (n = 1, 3.57%), and serum creatinine elevation (n = 1, 3.57%). CONCLUSION Maintenance anlotinib plus etoposide achieves promising PFS and OS in clinical ES-SCLC. REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR1800019421.

Abstract
Combined small cell lung cancer (CSCLC) is a specific subtype of lung cancer characterized by a pathological mixture of small cell lung cancer and any subtype of non-small cell lung cancer components. Currently, our understanding of the clinicopathological features, origin, molecular characterization, treatment, and prognosis of CSCLC remains limited. CSCLCs represent examples of intratumor heterogeneity and pose challenges for accurate diagnosis. Are there any distinct clinicopathologic and molecular differences between pure SCLC and CSCLC? Furthermore, the prognostic outcomes and optimal treatments for CSCLC are urgently needed. This article aims to summarize the current biological features and clinical management of CSCLC, providing a reference for further understanding of this heterogeneous form of small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer combined by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (LC-COPD) is a common comorbidity and their interaction with each other poses significant clinical challenges. However, there is a lack of well-established consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of LC-COPD. Methods A panel of experts, comprising specialists in oncology, respiratory medicine, radiology, interventional medicine, and thoracic surgery, was convened. The panel was presented with a comprehensive review of the current evidence pertaining to LC-COPD. After thorough discussions, the panel reached a consensus on 17 recommendations with over 70% agreement in voting to enhance the management of LC-COPD and optimize the care of these patients. Results The 17 statements focused on pathogenic mechanisms (n=2), general strategies (n=4), and clinical application in COPD (n=2) and lung cancer (n=9) were developed and modified. These statements provide guidance on early screening and treatment selection of LC-COPD, the interplay of lung cancer and COPD on treatment, and considerations during treatment. This consensus also emphasizes patient-centered and personalized treatment in the management of LC-COPD. Conclusions The consensus highlights the need for concurrent treatment for both lung cancer and COPD in LC-COPD patients, while being mindful of the mutual influence of the two conditions on treatment and monitoring for adverse reactions.

Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res 2023; 23:79-87. [PMID: 36333963 DOI: 10.1080/14737167.2023.2144837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of anlotinib versus pembrolizumab and nivolumab as the third-line treatment in recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients from the Chinese healthcare system perspective. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A Markov model was built to simulate the costs and health outcomes in the 4-year horizon. Efficacy and safety data of anlotinib, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab in patients with recurrent SCLC were derived from three studies. Cost and utility values were derived from local charges, the published literature, and related databases. Three scenario analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore the robustness of the results. RESULTS Compared with anlotinib, pembrolizumab and nivolumab were estimated to gain an additional 0.18 and 0.10 quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) at an incremental cost of $10,446 and $5,182, resulting in an increment cost-utility ratio (ICUR) of $58,221/QALY and $56,733/QALY. The sensitivity analyses showed that the likelihood of anlotinib being cost-effective was 87.5% to 99.9% at a willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of $11,144 to $33,431/QALY. The scenario analyses indicated that the results varied in different scenarios. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that anlotinib could be the most cost-effective option versus pembrolizumab and nivolumab in the third-line treatment of recurrent SCLC from the Chinese healthcare system perspective.

Inflammation-based prognostic scoring system for predicting the prognosis of advanced small cell lung cancer patients receiving anlotinib monotherapy. J Clin Lab Anal 2022; 36:e24772. [PMID: 36441595 PMCID: PMC9757002 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.24772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the randomized multicenter phase II trial (ALTER1202), anlotinib has been approved as a third-line therapy for advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Some studies showed the predictive function of inflammatory markers, including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) in the different cancers treated with anti-vascular targeting drugs. However, none of the studies showed the roles of NLR, PLR, and LMR in SCLC patients receiving anlotinib. Thus, our objective was to establish a scoring system based on inflammation to individuate patient stratification and selection based on NLR, PLR, and LMR. METHODS NLR, PLR, and LMR and their variations were calculated in 53 advanced SCLC patients receiving anlotinib as a third- or further-line treatment at Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted. Both univariate and multivariate Cox regressions were used to identify predictors of survival. RESULTS Disease control rate was related to pre-NLR, pre-PLR, pre-LMR, post-NLR elevation, post-PLR elevation, and post-LMR elevation. The multivariate analysis determined post-NLR elevation, pre-PLR > 240.56, and pre-LMR ≤1.61 to be independently associated with progression-free survival, not overall survival. The inflammation-based prognostic scoring system demonstrated favorable predictive ability from the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC: 0.791, 95% CI: 0.645-0.938). CONCLUSIONS Post-NLR variation, pre-PLR, and pre-LMR were independent prognostic factors for PFS in advanced SCLC receiving anlotinib monotherapy. The inflammation-based prognostic scoring system can accurately predict effectiveness and survival.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) have high recurrence rates and bleak prognosis. This multicenter real-world study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with platinum-etoposide chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC.MethodsPathologically confirmed ES-SCLC patients receiving anlotinib plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy as the first-line treatment were enrolled in this retrospective study. The primary endpoint of this study was progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse reactions. The Cox regression analyses were employed to investigate the independent prognostic factors for OS and PFS of these individuals.ResultsIn total, 58 patients were included in this study. The median PFS was 6.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.5-8.5], and the median OS was 10.5 months (95%CI 8.7-12.3). Thirty-four patients achieved partial response (PR), 18 patients achieved stable disease (SD), and 6 patients achieved progressive disease (PD). The ORR and DCR were 58.6% and 89.6%. The main treatment-related adverse reactions were generally tolerated. Myelosuppression (44.8%) was the most common adverse reaction, followed by hypertension (41.4%), fatigue (34.5%), gastrointestinal reaction (32.7%), and hand-foot syndrome (24.1%). Multivariate analysis showed that post-medication hand-foot syndrome [PFS 8.5 vs. 5.5 months, Hazards Ratio (HR)=0.23, 95%CI 0.07-0.72, P =0.012] was the independent predictor of PFS, and hypertension (OS 15.9 vs. 8.3 months, HR=0.18, 95%CI 0.05-0.58, P =0.005) was the independent predictor of OS.ConclusionAnlotinib combined with platinum-etoposide chemotherapy as the first-line treatment for ES-SCLC appears to be effective and well-tolerated in the real-world. Well-designed large-scale prospective studies are urgently needed in the future to verify our findings.

[PMID: 36081824 PMCID: PMC9448352 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s372125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Lenvatinib was the standard first-line therapy for patients with unresectable HCC. PD-1 blockades demonstrated promising efficacy for patients with previously-treated HCC. Therefore, this study was to investigate the feasibility and tolerability of lenvatinib plus PD-1 blockades for patients with unresectable HCC retrospectively. Methods A total of 37 patients with unresectable HCC who received lenvatinib plus PD-1 blockades in first-line setting were included in this study retrospectively. Efficacy of the patients was evaluated with the change of target lesion using mRECIST criteria per investigator and all the subjects were followed up regularly. Adverse reactions were collected and documented. Exploratory analysis between prognosis and baseline characteristics was performed using log rank test and multivariate analysis were performed using Cox regression analysis. Results The best overall response of the 37 patients suggested that complete response was observed in one patient, partial response was noted in 11 patients, stable disease was noted in 16 patients and 9 patients had progressive disease, which yielded an objective response rate (ORR) of 32.4% (95%CI: 18.0–49.8) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 75.7% (95%CI: 58.8–88.2). Furthermore, the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 37 patients with advanced HCC was 8.3 months (95%CI: 3.34–13.26). And the median overall survival (OS) was 17.8 months (95%CI: 7.19–28.41). In addition, the median duration of response (DoR) in 12 patients with response was 9.6 months (95%CI: 3.03–16.17). Furthermore, adverse reactions that were attributed to the combination administration were detected in 36 patients (97.3%), among whom a total of 22 patients (59.5%) were observed of the grade ≥3 adverse reactions. And the most common adverse reactions were hypertension, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and hepatotoxicity. Conclusion Lenvatinib plus PD-1 blockades demonstrated promising anticancer activity and acceptable toxicity for patients with unresectable HCC. And the conclusion should be validated in prospective clinical trials subsequently.

The Efficacy and Safety of Anlotinib in Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Multicenter Real-World Study. Cancer Manag Res 2022; 14:2273-2287. [PMID: 35942069 PMCID: PMC9356751 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s364125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Anlotinib, an antiangiogenic multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has shown favorable anticancer efficacy and acceptable safety in treating extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in some clinical studies. This research aimed to explore the real-world efficacy and safety of anlotinib in ES-SCLC. Methods Pathologically confirmed ES-SCLC patients receiving anlotinib were enrolled for this retrospective study. The primary endpoint of this study was progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse reactions. Results In total, 202 patients were included in this study. The median PFS of all patients was 4.8 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.9–5.7], and the median OS was 7.6 months (95% CI 6.5–8.7). Respectively, the overall ORR and DCR were 30.2% and 87.1%. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) ≤1, plus chemotherapy or immunotherapy, plus radiotherapy, and post-medication hypertension might have longer PFS and OS. The PFS and OS were significantly prolonged in combination group than that in monotherapy group [PFS 6.0 vs 3.6 months, hazards ratio (HR)=0.49, 95% CI 0.34–0.70, P < 0.001; OS 9.2 vs 4.8 months, HR = 0.48, 95% CI 0.32–0.72, P < 0.001]. The main treatment-related adverse reactions were generally tolerated. The incidence of adverse reactions in combination group was higher than that in monotherapy group (75.0% vs 52.6%, P = 0.001). The most common adverse reaction was hypertension, followed by hand-foot syndrome and fatigue, regardless of monotherapy or combination group. Conclusion Anlotinib is effective and well tolerated in patients with ES-SCLC in the real-world. The clinical efficacy of anlotinib combined with chemotherapy or immunotherapy is better than that of monotherapy. Further investigations are needed for prospective studies with larger sample size.

Effectiveness and Safety of PD-1 Inhibitor Monotherapy for Elderly Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Real-World Exploratory Study. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:1710272. [PMID: 35909903 PMCID: PMC9337937 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1710272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Background Immunotherapy represented by PD-1 blockades had become the standard of care for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) gradually. Unfortunately, several PD-1 inhibitor-related studies excluded elderly patients with NSCLC over 75 years of age, resulting in relatively limited evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of PD-1 in elderly patients with NSCLC clinically. Objective This study aimed to identify the effectiveness and safety of PD-1 blockade monotherapy among elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods Elderly patients with advanced NSCLC (≥65 years) who received PD-1 blockade monotherapy from September 2018 to December 2021 were screened retrospectively, and a total of 68 elderly patients with NSCLC were eligible for inclusion ultimately. The PD-1 blockades in the study were the available PD-1 monoclonal antibodies that had been approved for marketing in China, including camrelizumab, sintilimab, pembrolizumab, and nivolumab. The effectiveness and safety of the patients was collected retrospectively. Additionally, the correlation between prognosis and baseline characteristic subgroups was analyzed to identify the potential risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS). Results The median age of the 68 elderly patients with advanced NSCLC was 73 years (range: 65–82 years). Best overall response during PD-1 blockade administration suggested that no patients were found with complete response, partial response was found in 14 patients, stable disease was noted in 29 patients, and 25 patients had progressive disease, yielding an objective response rate (ORR) of 20.6% (95%CI: 11.7%–32.1%) and a disease control rate (DCR) of 63.2% (95%CI: 50.7%–74.6%). Furthermore, prognostic analysis exhibited that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 68 patients with advanced NSCLC was 3.5 months (95%CI: 2.4–4.6) and the median overall survival (OS) was 10.5 months (95%CI: 6.3–14.7). Additionally, a total of 48 patients were observed with the treatment-related adverse reaction (70.6%) of the 68 elderly patients with NSCLC, and the incidence of grade 3 or above adverse reactions was 16.2%. Specifically, the most common adverse reactions were fatigue, diarrhea, rash, and abnormal liver function with the incidence of 25.0%, 22.1%, 16.2%, and 14.7%, respectively. Exploratory analysis between PFS and baseline characteristic subgroups suggested that ECOG performance status and number of metastatic lesions might be independent factors for PFS. Conclusion PD-1 blockade monotherapy exhibited potential effectiveness and acceptable toxicity for elderly patients with NSCLC. ECOG performance status and number of metastatic lesions might be potential risk factors to predict the PFS of elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

[PMID: 35757014 PMCID: PMC9225918 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4484211] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Small-molecule tyrosine inhibitor anlotinib which developed in China has been approved as a third-line treatment for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Our previous clinical study found that anlotinib combined with S-1 has better short-term ORR than the single-agent anlotinib of SCLC and other small-molecule vascular targeted drug therapies in the treatment of SCLC. However, the molecular mechanism of those effect remains unclear. Methods SCLC cell line H446 was treated with either anlotinib, 5-FU alone, or combination. The cellular effects including cell viability, cell apoptosis, cell cycle, cell migration, and invasion were explored to evaluate the cell proliferation level. Western blot was performed to determine the protein levels of the combined action of the two drugs. The xenograft mouse model was established by injection of H446 cells into mouse, and the animals were randomized and assigned for the drug treatments. Body weights and tumor sizes were recorded. WB was conducted using tumor tissues. All data were collected and statistically analyzed using t-test to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism. Results When anlotinib was combined with 5-FU, the IC50 value of cells was significantly reduced. And apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and cell motility rates were stronger when anlotinib combined with 5-FU than in the anlotinib or 5-FU alone. In H446 cell-derived xenograft mouse model, tumor volumes were significantly decreased in Anlo/5-FU combination group than anlotinib or 5-FU alone group. Western blot showed the decreasing expression of p-Src/p-AKT in the Anlo/5-FU group. Conclusion Our data revealed that the treatment of combination of antitumor angiogenesis agent anlotinib with chemotherapy drug 5-FU may have synergistic cytotoxicity to SCLC in vitro and in vivo. This treatment modality reduced cell proliferation and migration via Src/AKT pathway. This new strategy may be a promising treatment for SCLC but needs to be confirmed in future clinical trials.

Efficacy and safety of anlotinib with and without EGFR-TKIs or immunotherapy in the treatment of elder patients with non-small-cell lung cancer: a retrospective study. BMC Pulm Med 2022; 22:179. [PMID: 35524294 PMCID: PMC9074279 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-022-01981-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Anlotinib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor for treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in elder patients with advanced NSCLC. Methods Elder patients with advanced NSCLC who received anlotinib were enrolled. They were all age ≥ 65 years and with demonstrated records of EGFR gene status. All patients had received treatment with anlotinib or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)/EGFR-TKIs. The efficacy was evaluated according to the efficacy evaluation criteria for solid tumors (RECIST 1.1). Common Adverse Events Evaluation Criteria (CTCAE 4.03) were used to evaluate adverse drug reactions. Results A total of 91 patients were included in this study. We divided the patients into two groups (EGFR wild type: 60 patients; EGFR mutation: 31 patients). Among EGFR negative patients, the progression-free survival (PFS) for anlotinib monotherapy and anlotinib combination ICI therapy was 3.2 months and 5.0 months, respectively (P = 0.012). The difference in overall survival (OS) between monotherapy and combination therapy was also significant (9.5 vs. 18.4 months, respectively P = 0.010). Interestingly, we further analyzed differences between patients with hypertension and without hypertension, and found that hypertension was associated with better prognosis (5.7 vs. 1.4 months, P < 0.0001). In the EGFR mutation group, the PFS for anlotinib and EGFR-TKI combination treatment indicated better efficacy than that of anlotinib monotherapy (1.83 months vs. 7.03 months, respectively, P = 0.001). The median OS for monotherapy and combination therapy in the EGFR mutation group showed no statistical difference (28.34 months vs. 31.37 months, P = 0.223). The most common adverse reactions were hypertension, fatigue, and hand-foot syndrome, mainly of grade 1 or 2. No significant increase in adverse reactions was observed in patients ≥ 70 years of age. Conclusions Anlotinib treatment and combination regimens resulted in good efficacy and controllable adverse reactions in elder patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib is one of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors that exhibits promising anti-tumor effect in several cancers. However, the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in pre-treated small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is not well determined. Herein, we performed this meta-analysis to summarize the effectiveness and safety of anlotinib in the treatment of pre-treated SCLC. METHODS The databases, such as PubMed and Embase, were searched to identify eligible studies. Clinical studies reporting the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in the treatment of patients with pre-treated SCLC were included. The main endpoints were overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events. The Review Manager 5.4 and STATA 14 statistical software were used to perform the meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 13 studies were included, involving 779 patients with SCLC. The ORR and DCR for the anlotinib group were 0.21 (95%CI: 0.12- 0.31; p < 0.01) and 0.76 (95%CI: 0.69- 0.83; p < 0.01), respectively. The summarized PFS and OS for the anlotinib group were 3.46 (95%CI: 2.68-4.24), and 6.86 (95%CI: 5.79-7.93) months, respectively. Compared with control group, the PFS in the anlotinib group was significantly longer standard mean difference(SMD)=0.76, 95%CI: 0.11, 1.41; p = 0.02). In terms of safety, the most common grade 3 or higher adverse events in the anlotinib group were hypertension (9%; 95%CI: 6%-13%), hand-foot syndrome (6%; 95%CI: 2%-9%), and fatigue (4%; 95%CI: 2%-7%). CONCLUSIONS Anlotinib may be associated with favorable efficacy outcomes in pre-treated SCLC patients with acceptable safety.

Abstract
Objective This study was to investigate the feasibility and safety of anlotinib monotherapy for patients with advanced or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) retrospectively. Methods This study was designed as a real-world study. A total of 83 patients with advanced or metastatic ESCC who received anlotinib monotherapy were included. Demographic characteristics of the patients, efficacy data of the treatment and adverse reactions during the treatment were documented and analyzed through the electronic medical record system in the hospital. All the patients were followed up regularly. The primary endpoint of this study was progression-free survival (PFS), secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), safety profile and PFS analysis according to adverse reactions. Results A total of 83 patients with ESCC who received anlotinib monotherapy were included. Partial response was observed in 7 patients, stable disease was noted in 51 patients and progressive disease was found in 25 patients, which yielded an ORR of 8.4% (95% CI: 3.5–16.6%), and a DCR of 69.9% (95% CI: 58.8–79.5%). Furthermore, the median PFS of the 83 patients with advanced ESCC was 3.3 months (95% CI: 2.20–4.40) and the median OS was 7.8 months (95% CI: 5.40–10.20). Common adverse reactions among the 83 patients were hypertension (51.8%), fatigue (48.2%), weight loss (41.0%), diarrhea (34.9) and hand-foot syndrome (30.1%). Correlation analysis between hypertension status and PFS suggested that PFS of the patients with hypertension was longer than that of those with non-hypertension (median PFS: 4.5 vs 3.0 months, P = 0.019). Conclusion Anlotinib monotherapy demonstrated promising efficacy and tolerable toxicity for patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic ESCC. Hypertension that occurs during anlotinib administration might be used as a potential biomarker to predict PFS of patients with ESCC. The conclusion should be confirmed in prospective clinical trials subsequently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective, pilot, single-arm phase II trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anlotinib combined with etoposide and platinum-based regimens in the first-line treatment of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). METHODS This phase II study was conducted at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center between December 2018 and December 2020. All patients received standard chemotherapy (etoposide plus cisplatin/carboplatin) consisting of four courses and anlotinib at 12 mg once per day for 2 weeks followed by a one-week rest. Anlotinib administration was continued until disease progression, intolerable adverse events (AEs) or patient withdrawal from the study. The primary outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary outcome measures were overall survival (OS), objective control rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and AEs. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients were included in this study, and 30 patients were eligible for efficacy analysis. ORR and DCR were 90.0% and 96.7%, respectively. The estimated PFS and OS were 6.0 months (95% CI: 1.1-11.9 months) and 14.0 months (95% CI: 8.6-19.4 months), respectively. No unexpected adverse effects were reported. Hypertension (20/37, 54.1%), anemia (16/37, 43.2%), alopecia (15/37, 40.5%), elevated transaminases (9/37, 24.3%) and alkaline phosphatase (9/37, 24.3%) were the most commonly reported AEs. Thirteen patients (35.1%) reported grade 3-5 AEs. No treatment-related deaths occurred during this study. CONCLUSION The addition of anlotinib to standard etoposide/platinum chemotherapy achieved encouraging PFS and OS in previously untreated ES-SCLC patients, with an acceptable tolerability profile and no new safety signals observed.

Abstract
Background: Anlotinib demonstrated promising efficacy for patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) in clinical trials. However, the real-world evidence of anlotinib monotherapy in ES-SCLC was still limited currently. Therefore, present study was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of anlotinib for patients with ES-SCLC who progressed to chemotherapy in real-world and the potential biomarker during anlotinib monotherapy. Methods: A total of 89 patients with ES-SCLC who failed the previous chemotherapy treatment were recruited. All the patients were administered with anlotinib monotherapy. Demographic data of the patients were collected; effectiveness and safety profile during anlotinib monotherapy were documented through electronic medical record system in the hospital. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were presented using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate analysis was adjusted by Cox regression analysis. Results: All the 89 patients with ES-SCLC who progressed to chemotherapy were available for the assessment of effectiveness and safety profile. Best overall response indicated that partial response was observed in 6 patients (6.7%), stable disease was noted in 61 patients (68.5%), and progressive disease was found in 22 patients (24.7%). Therefore, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of the 89 patients with ES-SCLC was 6.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.5%-14.1%) and 75.3% (95% CI: 65.0%-83.8%), respectively. The prognostic data suggested that the median PFS of the 89 patients was 3.1 months (95% CI: 2.10-4.10), and the median OS was 8.6 months (95% CI: 7.42-9.78). In addition, the most common adverse reactions of the patients who received anlotinib monotherapy were hypertension (34.8%), hand-foot syndrome (30.3%), fatigue (29.2%), loss of appetite (27.0%), and hematological toxicity (21.3%). Association analysis between biomarker (hypertension status) and prognosis indicated that the median PFS of patients with hypertension and patients with non-hypertension was 5.5 and 3.0 months, respectively (χ2 = 4.64, P = .031). Furthermore, multivariate Cox analysis for PFS suggested that hypertension status was an independent factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.71, P = .035]. Conclusion: Anlotinib monotherapy showed encouraging effectiveness and acceptable safety profile for patients with ES-SCLC in real world. Hypertension induced by anlotinib administration might be used as a potential biomarker to predict superior PFS for patients with ES-SCLC.

Abstract
Combined small-cell lung cancer (C-SCLC) is a relatively rare subtype of SCLC and is defined by the combination of SCLC and any elements of non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Anlotinib is a novel oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor that led to significant improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival in third-line therapy of advanced SCLC in the ALTER1202 study. Antiangiogenic therapy with anlotinib in C-SCLC has not previously been reported. An 80-year-old man was admitted with a 20-day history of blood-stained sputum. Chest computed tomography revealed a soft mass (45 × 43 mm) in the right upper lobe and a mediastinal lymph node and additional lung lesions in the homo lung. Pathology confirmed C-SCLC after an ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy of the right lung tumor. The elderly patient was given anlotinib monotherapy at a dose of 10 mg/day on days 1–14 of a 21-day cycle after providing informed consent, and the outcome was assessed as continued partial response. As of the last follow-up evaluation, the patient’s progression-free survival was more than 7 months, and the treatment showed satisfactory safety. Our findings provide direct evidence of the efficacy of anlotinib in an elderly patient with C-SCLC. More studies are needed to confirm our observations.

Abstract
Purpose The present study was to investigate the real-world efficacy and safety of anlotinib monotherapy as third-line therapy for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods A total of 83 elderly patients (>65 years) with NSCLC who were progressed at least two lines of previous systemic therapy were recruited retrospectively. Patients were treated with anlotinib monotherapy (12 mg or 10 mg). Efficacy of anlotinib was assessed and all the patients were followed up regularly. Adverse reactions were collected during anlotinib administration. Univariate analysis was performed using Log rank test and multivariate analysis was adjusted by Cox regression analysis. Additionally, prognostic analysis according to common adverse reactions was implemented to identify the potential clinical significance. Results The best overall response of the 83 elderly patients during anlotinib monotherapy indicated that partial response (PR) was observed in six patients, stable disease (SD) was noted in 59 patients, and progressive disease (PD) was reported in 18 patients. Consequently, the objective response rate (ORR) was 7.2% (95% CI=2.7–15.1%) and the disease control rate (DCR) was 78.3% (95% CI=67.9–86.6%). The median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 83 elderly patients with NSCLC was 4.2 months (95% CI=3.51–4.89). Furthermore, the median overall survival (OS) of the 83 patients was 9.6 months (95% CI=6.65–12.55). The safety profile suggested that the relatively common adverse reactions of the elderly patients with ES-SCLC receiving anlotinib therapy were hypertension (49.4%), fatigue (45.8%), and hand–foot syndrome (39.8%). Interestingly, association analysis exhibited that the median PFS of patients with hypertension and non-hypertension was 4.5 and 3.0 months, respectively (χ2=6.306, P=0.012). Conclusion Anlotinib monotherapy demonstrated a satisfactory efficacy and tolerable safety profile in third-line settings for elderly patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients who experienced a hypertension adverse reaction induced by anlotinib therapy might confer superior PFS. The conclusion should be validated in prospective clinical trials subsequently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anlotinib is a new tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed in China that targets the receptors for vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, and stem cell factor. Therefore, anlotinib inhibits tumor angiogenesis, representing a new therapeutic alternative for lung cancer. Hypertension is one of its most common adverse effects, leading to discontinuation of the drug and limited clinical usefulness. OBJECTIVE The present review aims to summarize the evidence on the prevalence, physiopathology, and management of anlotinib-induced hypertension, as well as its effect on the cancer prognosis. METHOD Searches in Medline, Cochrane Central Library, and Embase were performed using the following terms: anlotinib, adverse effect, hypertension, clinical trial, vascular endothelial growth factor, and antiangiogenic drugs. Citations were also identified by checking the reference sections of selected papers. RESULTS Except for a phase I clinical trial with a small sample size (n = 6), almost all the clinical trials on anlotinib have reported the development of anlotinib-induced hypertension. In these trials, the incidence of hypertension ranged from 13% to 67.7%, and that of grade 3/4 hypertension ranged from4.8% to 16%. Alterations in nitric oxide, endothelin-1, microvascular rarefaction, selective vasoconstrictions, and renal injury have been cited as potential mechanisms leading to anlotinib-induced hypertension. When needed, treatment may include general hygienic measures and pharmacotherapy in some cases. CONCLUSIONS To effectively manage anlotinib-induced hypertension, early prevention, a reasonable dosage regimen, and appropriate treatment are critical to effectively manage anlotinib-induced hypertension. Additionally, anlotinib-induced hypertension may be considered a marker for predicting efficacy.

Abstract
Background Present study was condeucted to investigate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib for patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in a Chinese population and the prognostic implications of adverse reactions. Methods This retrospective study a total of 96 consecutive patients with mCRC who had failed standard chemotherapy regimens from June 2017 to December 2020. Patients received regorafenib at an initial dosage of 160 mg or 120 mg. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS), and secondary end points objective response rate (ORR), disease-control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), safety, and associations between prognosis and adverse-reaction status. Results There were three patients with partial response, 49 with stable disease, and 44 with progressive disease. Consequently, the ORR and DCR of the 96 patients were 3.1% (95% CI 0.6%–8.9%) and 54.2% (95% CI 43.7–64.4%), respectively. Prognosis results showed that median PFS of the 96 patients was 2.5 (95% CI 1.98–3.02) months and median OS 9.8 (95% CI 7.02–12.59) months. Additionally, the most frequent adverse reactions during regorafenib treatment were hand–foot syndrome (HFS; 52.1%), hypertension (38.5%), and fatigue (33.3%). Interestingly, the relevance of prognosis to adverse-reaction status exhibited that median PFS of patients with HFS and patients without HFS was 3.3 months and 2.0 months, respectively (P=0.013). Similarly, median PFS of patients with hypertension and without hypertension was 3.6 months and 2.2 months, respectively (P=0.023). Conclusion Potential clinical benefit of regorafenib monotherapy was observed for patients with mCRC who had failed standard chemotherapy regimens. Hypertension and HFS induced by regorafenib therapy could be used as valuable biomarkers to predict the prognosis of regorafenib.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Brucea Javanica Oil Enhances the Efficacy of Anlotinib in a Mouse Model of Liver-Metastasis of Small-cell Lung Cancer. In Vivo 2021; 35:1437-1441. [PMID: 33910820 DOI: 10.21873/invivo.12395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2021] [Revised: 03/03/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a recalcitrant disease with liver and other metastasis. The present study evaluated the efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine Brucea javanica oil (BJO) combined with anlotinib, a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor with anti-angiogenic activity, on a nude-mouse model of SCLC liver metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mouse model was established by injecting NCI-H446 cells (1×106) in Matrigel (20 μl) into the upper liver lobe. All animals were randomized and assigned to three groups: Control (n=8); anlotinib alone (n=8; 3 mg/kg, qd×14+7-day interval with two cycles, oral); anlotinib plus BJO (n=8; 3 mg/kg anlotinib qd×14+7-day interval with two cycles, orally; BJO: 1 g/kg, qd×6 weeks, orally). Body weight was determined every week. Six weeks after initial treatment, tumors were collected for analysis of angiogenesis using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The combination of anlotinib and BJO significantly inhibited growth of SCLC liver metastases and angiogenesis more than anlotinib monotherapy (p=0.043). In addition, BJO alleviated body-weight loss associated with anlotinib therapy, including general mouse condition. CONCLUSION The results of the present study indicate that the combination of anlotinib with BJO is promisingly active against liver metastases of SCLC, and has clinical potential.

Angiogenesis Inhibitors in Small Cell Lung Cancer. Front Oncol 2021; 11:655316. [PMID: 34123809 PMCID: PMC8195287 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.655316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Inhibition of angiogenesis has been demonstrated to be an efficacious strategy in treating several tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most important protein with proangiogenic functions and it is overexpressed in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody directed against VEGF, showed a promising activity in combination with etoposide and cisplatin as first-line treatment of patients with extended stage (ES)-SCLC and two randomized studies confirmed that bevacizumab improved PFS, but failed to prolong OS. Instead, disappointing results have been observed with endostar, sunitinib, sorafenib, vandetanib, and thalidomide in combination with chemotherapy in the first-line setting, with sunitinib in the maintenance setting, with sunitinib, cediranib and nintedanib as single agents or ziv-aflibercept in combination with topotecan in second-line setting. Only anlotinib improved OS and PFS as third-line therapy in Chinese patients with SCLC, and it was approved with this indication in China. Future challenges are the evaluation of the role of angiogenesis inhibitors in combination with immune- checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy in SCLC patients and the identification of predictive biomarkers of response to both agents.
