A pilot study of nintedanib in molecularly selected patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nintedanib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the response rate for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mutations in TP53, VEGFR1-3, PDGFR-A, PDGFR-B, and FGFR1-3 treated with nintedanib as part of an open-label, single-arm pilot study.

Methods

Patients with advanced NSCLC previously treated with platinum-doublet chemotherapy with the above mutations were enrolled. Exclusion criteria included necrotic tumors with invasion of blood vessels, history of recent thromboembolic events, increased r
