A Study of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Plus Anlotinib in Stage III(N2) Non-small-cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2

• Conditions: Stage III Non-small-cell Lung Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Anlotinib hydrochloride; Drug: platinum-based chemotherapy medicine

• Registration Number: NCT04181372
• Lead Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University

Brief Summary

Stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is seen in a relatively heterogeneous group of patients with ipsilateral mediastinal (N2) lymph node involvement. The relative roles of different treatment modalities are not clear. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant double-drug chemotherapy containing platinum plus anlotinib hydrochloride in patients with stage III(N2) non-small-cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, open-label, multi-institutional, positive medicine control of equal rank comparative study of neoadjuvant double-drug chemotherapy with platinum plus anlotinib hydrochloride in stage III(N2) non-small-cell lung cancer.The main purpose of this study was to compare the difference in N2 downgrade rate of lymph node and resectability rate between the experimental and control groups, to evaluate the efficacy of anlotinib hydrochloride, and to observe and evaluate its objective response rate(ORR)，Disease-free Survival (DFS)and overall survival(OS).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Lymph node(N2)downstage rate	3 months	Lymph node downstage rate is depended on the image or pathology dignosis after surgery,staging from N2 to N1 / N0.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	3 months	ORR is the number of participants with a Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) divided by the total number of randomized participants per arm, then multiplied by 100. Response is based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline or the complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and no new lesions.
Resectability rate	Lymph node downstage rate is depended on the pathology dignosis after surgery, an expected average of 8 weeks from randomization.	Resectability rate was defined as the percentage of patients who were able to undergo surgery after neoadjuvant therapy.
Pathological complete response (pCR) rate	3 months	Pathologic Complete Response Rate is defined as lack of evidence of viable cancer in the surgical specimen at the time of surgery.
adverse events(AEs)	3 months	Number of participants with perioperative complications.
Disease-free Survival （DFS）	Every 3 months.	The period after curative treatment \[disease eliminated\] when no disease can be detected.From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, whichever came first, assessed up to 40 months.
Overall Survival (OS)	3 years	OS was assessed from randomization to death as a result of any cause.
