• Registration Number: NCT04978753
• Lead Sponsor: Li-kun Chen

Brief Summary

Subject population：Patients with brain metastases from EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer who have not received systemic treatment.

Experimental design: Single-center, single-arm phase II clinical trial. Purpose: Efficacy and safety of Anlotinib combined with Almonertinib in the treatment of patients with brain metastases from EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer.

treatment plan: 1). Anlotinib: 12mg/time (BSA≥1.6 m2) or 10mg/time (BSA\<1.6 m2), once a day orally, taking two weeks and stopping for one week; 2). Almonertinib: 110mg, orally once a day; primary endpoint: Intracranial progression-free survival (iPFS); secondary endpoint: Objective intracranial response rate (iORR=iCR+iPR), intracranial disease control rate (iDCR=iCR+iPR+i SD), overall progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), quality of life score.
