Apatinib in the Treatment of Patients With EGFR T790M-Negative NSCLC

Phase 2

• Conditions: Respiratory Tract Diseases; Lung Diseases; Neoplasms; Non-Small-Cell Lung; Thoracic Neoplasms
• Interventions: Drug: Apatinib; Drug: EGFR-TKI

• Registration Number: NCT03389256
• Lead Sponsor: Sichuan Cancer Hospital and Research Institute

Brief Summary

This phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and activity of apatinib,a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, in combination with EGFR-TKI in NSCLC with T790M-negative after the failure of EGFR-TKI therapy.
