Apatinib for advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer: A retrospective case series analysis.

Abstract:

Objectives:Apatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor which selectively inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, has been shown to be beneficial to patients with a variety of cancers, including advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thus, this study was aimed to retrospectively assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC who failed more than two lines of treatment. Methods:Twenty-three NSCLC patients were involved in this study, who received oral apatinib at a daily dose of 250/500/750 mg, with the progression after the failure of second-line therapy. Treatment was continued until disease progression. The tumor assessments were determined according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (version 1.1). Safety was evaluated with adverse reactions and toxicities based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.0). Response and safety for the included patients were evaluated every 8 weeks. Results:In this study, 23 NSCLC patients were followed from January 2015 to December 2016. Available image efficacy was obtained in 22 patients, including 4 identified as partial responses, 17 stable disease, and 1 progressive disease; no complete responses was observed. The objective response rate was 18.2%, and the disease control rate was 95.5%. Median progression free survival and overall survival for apatinib were 203 days (95% CI, 120-269) and 227 days (95% CI, 146-294), respectively. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events were hypertension, gastrointestinal reactions, and hand-foot skin reaction. Conclusion:Apatinib exhibited modest activity and acceptable toxicity for advanced NSCLC after the failure of chemotherapy or other targeted therapy.
