Overview
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fruquintinib plus best supportive care in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who failed to second-line standard chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Approximately 90 subjects will be randomized to Fruquintinib plus best supportive care or placebo plus best supportive care at a 2:1 ratio. Randomization will be stratified by EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene status: mutant vs. wild type vs. unknown. All subjects will receive Fruquintinib/placebo for consecutive 3 weeks, followed by one-week rest. A treatment cycle consists of 4 weeks. Tumor assessment will be performed every 4 weeks in the first 3 cycles, and every 8 weeks since the 4th cycle, until disease progression. Further treatment and survival follow-up after progression will be recorded.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Fully understand the study and sign the informed consent form voluntarily;
- •Histologically and/or cytologically diagnosed with local advanced and/or metastatic stage IIIB/IV non-squamous NSCLC;
- •Previously failed to two chemotherapy regimens(treatment failure is defined as disease progression or intolerable toxicity), patients with positive EGFR mutation permitted to treated by EGFR-TKI previously; patients with EGFR wild type or unknown whether or not treated by EGFR-TKI previously;
- •Aged 18-75 years (inclusive);
- •Body weight ≥40 kg;
- •Evident measurable lesion(s) (according to RECIST1.1);
- •ECOG Performance Status 0-1;
- •Expected survival \>12 weeks
Exclusion Criteria
- •Treatment in another clinical trials in the past 3 weeks; or treatment with systemic anti-tumor chemotherapy, radiotherapy or biotherapy within 3 weeks prior to administration of the study drug;
- •Previous therapy with VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors;
- •Unrecovered from toxicity caused by previous anti-cancer treatment (CTCAE \>grade 1), or not completely recovered from previous surgery;
- •Previous active brain metastasis (without radiotherapy previously, or symptoms stable \< 4 weeks, or with clinical symptoms, or with medication to control symptoms);
- •Other malignancies except basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ in the past 5 years;
- •Uncontrolled clinical active infection, e.g. acute pneumonia and active hepatitis B;
- •Dysphagia or known drug malabsorption;
- •Present active duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis, intestinal obstruction and other gastrointestinal diseases or other conditions that may lead to gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation according to the investigators' judgment; or with a history of intestinal perforation or intestinal fistula;

Arms & Interventions
Control Group
Placebo is a capsule in the form of 1mg and 5 mg, orally, once daily, 3 weeks on/1week off with best supportive care.
Intervention: Placebo
Treatment Group
The subjects will receive oral Fruquintinib at fasting state 5mg+best supportive care, once daily for the first 3 consecutive weeks and dose holiday for 1 week according to their dose regimens until the occurrence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent
Intervention: Fruquintinib
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Progressive free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: measured every 4 weeks at first 2 cycles and every 8 weeks since the third cycle from randomization to disease progression, assessed up to one year
To compare the Progressive Free Survival (PFS) of Fruquintinib plus best supportive care (BSC) versus placebo plus BSC in patients advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients who failed to standard second-line chemotherapy according to RECIST 1.1
Secondary Outcomes
- Overall survival (OS)(every 2 months from randomization to death, assessed up to one year)
- Objective response rate (ORR)(measured every 4 weeks at first 2 cycles and every 8 weeks since the third cycle from randomization to disease progression, assessed up to one year)
- Disease control rate (DCR)(measured every 4 weeks at first 2 cycles and every 8 weeks since the third cycle from randomization to disease progression, assessed up to one year)
- safety and tolerability by incidence, severity and outcome of adverse events(From randomization to 30 days after last dose)
