Sintilimab plus anlotinib as second- or third-line therapy in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor mutations: A prospective, single-arm, phase II trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and uncommon EGFR alterations typically have worse treatment outcomes than patients with classically EGFR-mutated NSCLC. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 blockade with sintilimab plus anti-angiogenic treatment with anlotinib in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations.

Methods

Patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations after two previous treatments, including a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and a targeted treatment (or chemotherapy only for patients harboring EGFR ex20ins), received sintilimab combined with anlotinib. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR).

Results

At data cutoff (September 27, 2022), median follow-up was
