Brief Summary

This project plans to conduct a prospective, multicenter clinical study. The intended participants are patients with histologically confirmed advanced (FIGO III/IV stage) ovarian serous carcinoma, ovarian endometrioid carcinoma, primary peritoneal carcinoma, or fallopian tube carcinoma who have platinum-resistant recurrence or are platinum-refractory (n=30). The study design is a single-arm study. The treatment regimen for the study group is the RIF combined with anlotinib group, with continuous administration until disease progression, death, intolerable toxicity, loss to follow-up, withdrawal of informed consent, or study termination, whichever occurs first. The treatment duration will not exceed 18 months, with a follow-up period of 24 months.

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), quality of life score (QOL), and safety. The primary efficacy evaluation will use imaging methods (RECIST 1.1) combined with tumor marker CA125 levels.

All data in this study will be summarized using appropriate statistical measures based on data type: continuous data will be described using mean, standard deviation (STD), median, minimum, and maximum, while categorical data will be summarized using frequency and percentage (proportion). Time-to-event data will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) product-limit method to estimate median survival time, with survival curves plotted and 95% confidence intervals for median time estimated when necessary.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RIF combined with anlotinib in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer, providing a new therapeutic strategy.

     3. Platelet count (PLT) ≥80×10⁹/L.

   • **Biochemical tests:**

     1. Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN (upper limit of normal);
     2. ALT and AST ≤2.5×ULN (≤5×ULN if liver metastases are present);
     3. Serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula).

   • **Cardiac function:** Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ lower limit of normal (50%).

7. Ability to take oral medications.

8. ≥4 weeks since the last chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or other antitumor treatments before the first dose of study drugs.

9. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment is required, and the patient must be non-lactating.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Prior treatment with arsenic agents (e.g., arsenic trioxide, Compound Huangdai Tablets) or anlotinib hydrochloride/other targeted therapies.

2. Known hypersensitivity to anlotinib or its excipients. 3. Known hypersensitivity to arsenic agents or their excipients. 4. **Comorbidities/medical history:**

3. Clinically significant hemoptysis (>50 mL/day within 3 months before enrollment) or active bleeding (e.g., gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, baseline fecal occult blood ≥++), or vasculitis.

4. Arterial/venous thromboembolic events within 6 months (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, deep vein thrombosis [unless catheter-related and resolved], pulmonary embolism).

5. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic >140 mmHg or diastolic >90 mmHg despite medication) or history within 6 months of myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, NYHA class ≥2 heart failure, clinically significant arrhythmias, or symptomatic congestive heart failure.

6. Interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonitis, or uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., pulmonary fibrosis, acute pneumonia).

The EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30) is a widely used tool to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in cancer patients.; 1. Global Health Status/Quality of Life; ≥70 points: Good quality of life (close to healthy population). 50-69 points: Moderate, with possible minor impact. \<50 points: Poor, requiring clinical intervention.; 2. Functional Scales Physical Functioning (PF): Low scores indicate limitations in daily activities. Emotional Functioning (EF): Low scores suggest anxiety/depression risk, warranting psychological intervention.; Social Functioning (SF): Low scores reflect negative disease impact on interpersonal relationships.; 3. Symptom Scales Fatigue (FA): Scores \>50 indicate a need to evaluate anemia or treatment side effects.; Pain (PA): Scores \>40 require initiation of pain management. Nausea/Vomiting (NV): Scores \>30 necessitate antiemetic regimen adjustment.
